Sinopse

"Floating Stone Myths" delves into the fascinating world of gravity-defying rock formations, exploring how natural processes create and maintain these remarkable geological features that have captivated cultures worldwide. The book expertly weaves together scientific understanding with cultural significance, examining famous examples like Colorado's Balanced Rock and India's Krishna's Butter Ball while explaining the complex interplay of erosion, weathering, and geological forces that shape these formations.

 
Through a systematic exploration divided into three main sections, readers journey from the fundamental geological processes of differential erosion to the physics of mass distribution, and finally to the human relationship with these natural wonders. The text illuminates how these precarious-looking formations maintain their stability through precise natural balance, while also addressing their role in various cultures and the pressing need for their conservation.

 
Advanced research techniques, including imaging technology and long-term stability monitoring, provide readers with cutting-edge insights into these geological marvels. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining earth sciences with cultural anthropology and environmental conservation. While maintaining academic rigor, it presents complex concepts through accessible language and practical examples, making it valuable for both scientists and educated general readers.

 
The book serves as both a comprehensive scientific reference and a practical guide for understanding and preserving these unique geological features, complete with protocols for study and guidelines for responsible site management.

  • The Superluminal Universe - Redefining Consciousness Time and Space - cover

    The Superluminal Universe -...

    The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Régis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality: that alongside our sub-luminous universe, which follows the law of time, is a superluminal universe. This second reality is another universe, complementary to and symmetrical with ours, governed by superluminal space-time in which light moves 300,000 km/s to infinity. 
     
     
     
    In the superluminal universe, everything is instantaneous. It is possible to conceive of a superluminal being capable of moving from one end of space to the other. This parallel universe consists only of information and consciousness: all information (past, present, future) and the consciousness of all humanity. Professor Dutheil's thesis joins the intuitions of ancient philosophers with current quantum physics to blow our current notions of time, of past and present, of the nature of consciousness, of birth and death right out of the water.

    A Country of Two Agricultures

    Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
    These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
    A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
    Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
    Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
    Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

    " . . . are dinosaurs social constructs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." 
     
     
     
    At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. 
     
     
     
    Keith Parsons claims that these debates show that evidence and logic remained vitally important. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.
