Between Two Worlds
Growing up, young Sophia cannot dispel the idea that she is somehow different from all the other people around her. She has no idea how true that is¿and to what extent. For young Sophia is the daughter of Cam and Calabria¿the first a fearsome vampire, the other heir to the throne of the legendary wizard of the Under World, Zuff. Exiles of their own world, they are determined to raise a normal child amidst a world populated by humans. Their determination, however is matched by a group of vengeful vampires who vowed long ago to take revenge against Zuff's long lost heir. Events come to a head when the group assigns one of them, Kevin, to hunt down Sophia and bring her to them for a one-time magnificent feast.
Beyond the Glitter
BEYOND THE GLITTER A Novel One Woman's Journey from Domestic Abuse to Spiritual Enlightenment and Love - in Sin City... Jennifer O'Shea-Robinson, a professional middle-aged woman, has experienced both ends of the spectrum - rich and poor. She has endured and survived the humiliation of domestic violence, but continues to struggle through life unaware of the moral principals and wealth of intuitive guidance within her grasp. After the murder of her wealthy and abusive husband, William Robinson III, she toils to sort out her past and to begin a new life in Las Vegas. As the primary suspect in her husband's homicide investigation, she avoids the affection of a handsome doctor, unable to accept happiness without guilt. It is a near fatal motorcycle accident which forces her to review her life and release the conditioning of her past. Her timeless journey through the heavenly white light is one of enlightenment, courage and true love.
Self-organization and Emergence in Life Sciences
Self-organization constitutes one of the most important theoretical debates in contemporary life sciences. The present book explores the relevance of the concept of self-organization and its impact on such scientific fields as: immunology, neurosciences, ecology and theories of evolution. Historical aspects of the issue are also broached. Intuitions relative to self-organization can be found in the works of such key western philosophical figures as Aristotle, Leibniz and Kant. Interacting with more recent authors and cybernetics, self-organization represents a notion in keeping with the modern world's discovery of radical complexity. The themes of teleology and emergence are analyzed by philosophers of sciences with regards to the issues of modelization and scientific explanation. The implications of self-organization for life sciences are here approached from an interdisciplinary angle, revealing the notion as already rewarding and full of promise for the future.
New Directions in Trade Theory
Develops ideas and offers new approaches to the topic of trade theory.
Metaphor and Knowledge
Metaphor and Knowledge offers a sweeping history of rhetoric and metaphor in science, delving into questions about how language constitutes knowledge. Weaving together insights from a group of scientists at the Santa Fe Institute as they shape the new interdisciplinary field of complexity science, Ken Baake shows the difficulty of writing science when word meanings are unsettled, and he analyzes the power of metaphor in science.
One Dimensional Cellular Automata
The book deals with analytical and computational studies of spatially-extended discrete dynamical systems: one-dimensional cellular automata. The topics included are non-constructible configurations, reversibility, probabilistic analysis and De Bruijn diagrams. Techniques discussed are based on topology, matrix theory, formal languages and probability theory. The book is an excellent reading for anybody interested in non-linearity, emergency, complexity and self-organization.
Self-Organization of Complex Structures
During the past twenty years, a broad spectrum of theories and methods have been developed in physics, chemistry and molecular biology to explain structure formation in complex systems. These methods have been applied to many different fields such as economics, sociology and town planning, and this book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of complexity and self-organisation. The main focus is on the emergence of collective phenomena from individual or microscopic interactions. Presents a wide-ranging overview from fundamental aspects of the evolution of complexity, to applications in biology, ecology, sociology, economics, and urban structure formation.
Cellular Automata
The thirty four contributions in this book cover many aspects of contemporary studies on cellular automata and include reviews, research reports, and guides to recent literature and available software. Cellular automata, dynamic systems in which space and time are discrete, are yielding interesting applications in both the physical and natural sciences. The thirty four contributions in this book cover many aspects of contemporary studies on cellular automata and include reviews, research reports, and guides to recent literature and available software. Chapters cover mathematical analysis, the structure of the space of cellular automata, learning rules with specified properties: cellular auto...
The Emergence of Organizations and Markets
A dynamic framework for studying social emergence The social sciences have sophisticated models of choice and equilibrium but little understanding of the emergence of novelty. Where do new alternatives, new organizational forms, and new types of people come from? Combining biochemical insights about the origin of life with innovative and historically oriented social network analyses, John Padgett and Walter Powell develop a theory about the emergence of organizational, market, and biographical novelty from the coevolution of multiple social networks. They demonstrate that novelty arises from spillovers across intertwined networks in different domains. In the short run actors make relations, ...
Global Dynamics Of Cellular Automata
The book introduces a powerful new global perspective for the study of discrete dynamical systems. After first looking at the unique trajectory of a system's future, an algorithm is also presented that directly computes the multiple merging trajectories that may have constituted the system's past. A given set of cellular parameters will, in a sense, crystallize state space into a set of basins of attraction that will typically have the topology of branching trees rooted on attractor cycles. The book makes accessible the explicit portraits of these mathematical objects through computer-generated graphics. (Book/disk package disk requires an 80286, or higher, IBM PC or compatible with 640K of memory, VGA graphics, and DOS 2.0 or higher.
