Professor Dowell's Head
It is Paris in the 1920s, that frothy heyday between the World Wars. Hidden among the opulent cabarets, cafes, and theaters, a mad scientist toils away in his own private hospital, illegally performing grotesque experimental head transplants and reanimations on bodies stolen from the morgue. Under the tutelage of the disembodied head of a former colleague, the madman is well on his way to presenting the first-ever human head transplant to the scientific community, thereby achieving professional glory and securing his legacy as the greatest scientific mind of his generation. However, when one of his test subjects escapes, he risks being exposed to the authorities as a deranged criminal, befor...
The Man Who Found His Face
Antonio Presto had everything - fame, fortune, and prestige. And yet, through a terrible whim of nature, he could not have what he most wanted - ordinary human happiness. One day, he decided to change it all by appealing to one of the strangest physicians available.
A Visitor from Outer Space
Alexander Belayev (1884-1942). A notable writer of fiction whose life was strange and hard. For years tuberculosis of the spine kept him confined to his bed, yet he was able to enjoy a full and interesting life. He studied law, attended lectures at the Conservatoire, enjoyed working on newspapers and periodicals and was, deeply interested in science and technical problems. Belayev produced a whole library of attractive books of science fiction. Hoity-Toity, one of the stories in this volume, is from a series of excellent stories collected under the title Professor Wagner's Inventions. Alexander Kazantsev (b.1906) is a master of adventure stories and science-fiction books. A Visitor from Oute...
Ariel
Ariel does not know who he is, where he is from, or what is his purpose in life. The chance to get the answers comes in the form of a strange experiment, in which Ariel receives the ability to fly.
The Basics of Nuclear and Particle Physics
This undergraduate textbook breaks down the basics of Nuclear Structure and modern Particle Physics. Based on a comprehensive set of course notes, it covers all the introductory material and latest research developments required by third- and fourth-year physics students. The textbook is divided into two parts. Part I deals with Nuclear Structure, while Part II delves into Particle Physics. Each section contains the most recent science in the field, including experimental data and research on the properties of the top quark and Higgs boson. Detailed mathematical derivations are provided where necessary to helps students grasp the physics at a deeper level. Many of these have been conveniently placed in the Appendices and can be omitted if desired. Each chapter ends with a brief summary and includes a number of practice problems, the answers to which are also provided.
The Second Marxian Invasion
Stephen W. Potts presents Arkady and Boris Strugatsky in terms of their dual contributions to the SF genre and to modern Russian literature, placing their work in both its historical and literary context.
Neither Alive Nor Dead
Alexander Belyaev was the outstanding Soviet science fiction writer of the first half of the twentieth century. He had written many science fiction novels and short stories. The most famous of them: 'The Amphibian Man', 'Professor Dowell's Head', 'Seller of Air', 'Lord of the World'. Many of his works had been translated into foreign languages and filmed.This book presents a little-known short story by Alexander Belyaev: 'Neither alive nor dead'. It tells the story of how schemer named Carlson decided to use the achievements of science in the study of suspended animation of living organisms and to freeze the unemployed at a time of economic crisis. What came out of it, the reader can learn from this book.
Executive Director
Drawing inspiration from real-life events and individuals, it is a narrative rich in action, suspense, and political intrigue. At its core are the CIA's Omerta operations—secret missions aimed at rescuing the U.S. from an imminent financial collapse fueled by national debt and government corruption. As the story unfolds, it uncovers webs of espionage, mafia ties, cyber-attacks, and high-stakes political machinations. Themes of morality, insider trading, and stock market manipulation add depth to the narrative, which also explores controversial topics such as the Kovid pandemic, vaccine secrets, and big pharma crimes. With a blend of philosophical inquiry, sophisticated storytelling, and un...
Progress in Continuum Mechanics
This book gives an insight into the current developments in the field of continuum mechanics. Twenty-five researchers present new theoretical concepts, e.g., better inclusion of the microstructure in the models describing material behavior. At the same time, there are also more applications for the theories in engineering practice. In addition to new theoretical approaches in continuum mechanics and applications, the book puts an emphasis on discussing multi-physics problems.
Advances in Multiresolution for Geometric Modelling
Multiresolution methods in geometric modelling are concerned with the generation, representation, and manipulation of geometric objects at several levels of detail. Applications include fast visualization and rendering as well as coding, compression, and digital transmission of 3D geometric objects. This book marks the culmination of the four-year EU-funded research project, Multiresolution in Geometric Modelling (MINGLE). The book contains seven survey papers, providing a detailed overview of recent advances in the various fields within multiresolution modelling, and sixteen additional research papers. Each of the seven parts of the book starts with a survey paper, followed by the associated research papers in that area. All papers were originally presented at the MINGLE 2003 workshop held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK, 9-11 September 2003.
