The unseen universe : or physical speculations on a future state

Balfour Stewart, Peter Guthrie Tait

Summary

In 'The Unseen Universe: Or, Physical Speculations on a Future State,' readers are invited to traverse the boundaries between natural philosophy and metaphysics through a compelling collection of essays that explore the unknown realms of existence beyond the observable universe. This collection harmonizes a diverse array of literary styles, ranging from speculative exposition to reflective inquiry, each carefully woven to address the elusive nature of a potential future state. Though the anthology is penned by the distinguished figures Balfour Stewart and Peter Guthrie Tait, the collective commentary transcends individual authorship, unifying to present significant, thought-provoking investigations into the invisible dimensions of reality. Stewart and Tait, both luminaries in the field of physics, leverage their extensive backgrounds to contribute substantial insights into the discussions surrounding the convergence of science and metaphysical inquiry. The anthology finds its roots in the 19th-century milieu of scientific exploration and philosophical resurgence, alongside movements that questioned previously established boundaries between physics and spirituality. Their profound inquiries are informed by an era of unprecedented advancements and skepticism of purely materialist worldviews, offering a synthesis that challenges and expands the reader's understanding. This anthology is highly recommended for those eager to engage with pioneering thought experiments that elucidate the marriage of scientific rigor and philosophical speculation. 'The Unseen Universe' promises an enriching experience that synthesizes a diverse spectrum of intellectual heritage and forward-thinking contemplation. Thus, it provides an invaluable resource for understanding the multifaceted dialogue between seemingly disparate disciplines and encourages readers to ponder their own perceptions of unseen realities within a shared intellectual tradition.

Ion

Plato

"Ion" is a dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of artistic inspiration and the role of the artist in society. The main character, Ion, is a rhapsode who specializes in reciting epic poetry by Homer. Socrates engages Ion in a conversation, and the discussion unfolds as Socrates questions Ion about the source of his ability to recite poetry. Socrates argues that Ion's talent is not the result of his own knowledge or expertise, but rather a divine inspiration. He compares Ion to a magnetic ring that is capable of attracting and transmitting the power of the gods through his recitation. Socrates also points out that Ion's expertise is limited only to the works of Homer, and he has no real knowledge of the subjects he is reciting about. Read in English, unabridged.

My Brother's Keeper - Netanyahu...

Ari Harow

My Brother's Keeper tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the American president and the Israeli prime minister clashed about peace, war, and the future of the region. 
 
 
 
Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the world—and especially the Middle East—differently. The US president wanted to end what he saw as America's perpetual war against the Muslim and Arab worlds, use diplomacy to bring about a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel, and apply his signature foreign policy vision to reward the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for the scaling back of their nuclear pursuits. The Israeli premier wanted his country to thrive without the senseless bloodshed of terror and violence, and he was determined to protect the Jewish state from threats of annihilation by a member of the axis of evil that would one day be armed with nuclear weapons. Netanyahu wanted peace for peace, as well as the acceptance of Israel as a full-fledged part of the Middle East. In 2014, during a pivotal summer of terrorist violence, a war in Gaza, and the advancement of a nuclear deal with Iran, the two men clashed, threatening the US-Israeli strategic alliance and the future of the region. The Middle East would never be the same.

Unbelievable You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Hunter: Things had been going pretty well for me. My time was filled with my jobs and friends, and my parents seemed to have finally given up on bullying me to go to law school. Then everything changes in the blink of an eye. One minute I’m teaching a yoga class, and the next there’s smoke and then fire and with it comes firefighters. One in particular.
Stace: There are only three things that I take seriously—my job as a volunteer firefighter, my work with the animal shelter, and my family. Everything else? Not so much. And then we get a call and I end up carrying an unbelievably gorgeous woman down the stairs and I feel like my entire world has shifted and nothing will ever be the same.
Hunter: She lifted me like some hero from a romance movie and I couldn’t help but notice how good she looked when she took her helmet off and smiled at me. But that’s neither here nor there. I’ll never pursue someone like Stace. Love doesn’t work out for me, not for any member of my family. It’s just not in our genes. Why would I sign up for the inevitable downfall that will wreck my life? I’ll keep my heart whole and intact, thank you very much. Stace is the kind of person who demands all or nothing, and I have nothing for her.
Stace: Hunter is … complicated. Closed-off. A challenge, not to mention she’s so beautiful that she’d make angels jealous. I’ve never met anyone who deserves to be seduced and spoiled by affection more than her. So that’s what I’m going to do. Because I have to have her.

Barons - Money Power and the...

Austin Frerick, Eric Schlosser

Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
 
 
 
Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
 
 
 
These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.
