Sinossi

Space Calendars explores the fascinating and complex world of timekeeping in space, revealing how astronauts, space agencies, and interstellar missions manage time far differently than we do on Earth. The book highlights the critical role of precise time measurement for everything from navigation and communication to ensuring astronaut health and safety. One intriguing aspect is the impact of time dilation, a consequence of relativity, which becomes significant at the high velocities encountered in space travel. Another key area is understanding how altered time perception affects astronauts psychologically and physiologically during long-duration missions. The book examines the development of specialized time systems for orbital operations and analyzes how various space agencies, such as NASA and ESA, implement mission-specific calendars and clocks. It delves into the history of time measurement, from ancient astronomical observations to today's atomic clocks, providing a comprehensive foundation for understanding the challenges of space timekeeping. By blending scientific theory, technical applications, and the human experience, Space Calendars demonstrates that our concept of time is shaped by our environment and technology. The book progresses logically, starting with the need for specialized timekeeping in space, then moving to mission-specific calendars, the human impact of altered time perception, and finally, theoretical challenges related to interstellar timekeeping. It draws from technical documents, astronaut memoirs, and scientific publications to present a comprehensive and accessible overview of this vital aspect of space exploration.

Doctors at War - The Clandestine...

Ellen Hampton

Doctors at War tells the stories of physicians in France working to impede the German war effort and undermine French collaborators during the Occupation from 1940 to 1945. Determined to defeat the Third Reich's incursion, one group of prominent Paris doctors founded a medical network to treat injured Resistance fighters who they then secretly transported to Allied countries to avoid forced labor in Germany. Another team of medics organized a cabal focused on intelligence gathering and sabotage that became one of the largest in wartime France, even after the Gestapo arrested and imprisoned its leaders. Deported to concentration camps, these physicians continued to frustrate Nazi efforts by rendering aid and keeping their fellow prisoners alive. Others joined rural guerrilla camps to care for the young conscripts fighting to block German reinforcements from reaching Normandy after the D-Day landing. 
 
 
 
These stories add a crucial dimension to the history of Occupied France. Written for both historians and general listeners of World War II history, Doctors at War stands as a dramatic, character-driven account of physicians' courage and resilience in the face of evil. It serves as a window into life under a fascist regime and the travails of doctors who negotiated the terrifying moral labyrinth that was the German military's occupation of France.

The Coming Singularity

Gary A. Freitas

As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise. 
Are we ready? 
Will we be adaptive? 
How will we change? 
The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make. 
We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you? 
A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life. 
Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why! 
The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this. 
We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.
