Computing the Mind
In a culmination of humanity's millennia-long quest for self knowledge, the sciences of the mind are now in a position to offer concrete, empirically validated answers to the most fundamental questions about human nature. What does it mean to be a mind? How is the mind related to the brain? How are minds shaped by their embodiment and environment? What are the principles behind cognitive functions such as perception, memory, language, thought, and consciousness? By analyzing the tasks facing any sentient being that is subject to stimulation and a pressure to act, Shimon Edelman identifies computation as the common denominator in the emerging answers to all these questions. Any system compose...

Out-Of-Country
Few American citizens would disagree with the observation that the Vietnam War was probably the most tragic event to befall the American people since the the Imperial Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The Vietnam Wars devastation was not limited to the loss of thousands of lives; the maiming of bodies and minds or the terrible waste of the worlds resources. A major, irrevocable injury was inflicted on the American psyche. We were all personally, politically, spiritually and psychologically effected. The conduct and the outcome of the war irreparably altered the way Americans now view the waging of war in general; the influence our politicians exert over the conduct o...
Portrait of Stella
A fake birth certificate! No record of her existence in the UK data base. Jemima Ashton is desperate to discover her real identity. With scant information and the burning question ‘who am I?’, she embarks on an incredible journey of detection.

Jestlipak víte, kdo je lyrik?
V minulém desetiletí se v poezii pro děti objevila řada nových jmen i originálně koncipovaných výborů. Předkládaná kolektivní monografie sleduje nynější vývoj a mapuje nakladatelský a autorský pohyb v tomto segmentu. Zaměřuje se na soudobé české autory (Petr Borkovec, Daniela Fischerová, Robin Král, Radek Malý, Petr Nikl, Ester Stará, Ivan Wernisch aj.) a díla některých jejich předchůdců (Vladimír Holan, Josef Hiršal a Bohumila Grögerová či Jan Skácel). Jejich básnická tvorba také slouží jako materiál pro didakticky koncipovanou studii zamýšlející se nad budoucností čítanek a hledisek, podle nichž je do nich zařazována současná poezie.
The Subversive Poetics of Alfred Jarry
Paradox and provocation were essential features of all of the work of Alfred Jarry (1873-1907). His non-conformist attitude, whether employed to subvert literary or artistic conventions or to scrutinize social and political issues, marked both his literary writing and his view of the world. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the experimental and satirical Almanachs du Pere Ubu (1898 and 1901), which to date have received little critical attention. Jarry's groundbreaking use of collage in these early works, his absurdist humour and his rethinking of literary authorship and artistic originality foreshadow many innovations of twentieth-century art and literature. In this generously illustrated study Marieke Dubbelboer examines key characteristics of Jarry's poetics through an analysis of the Almanachs and addresses their role within the European avant-garde.
Bishops Resolution Book 2
BISHOPS RESOLUTION RESOLUTION 167-1962 was first established within the frame work of International Accords Documents for the purpose of establishing a special unit, comprising of not more than two individuals for the sole purpose of retrieving information on the actions of belligerent forces that was not attainable by traditional means. The unit was to only engage in informational acquisition determined by the superior officer and at the discretion of the Embassy Director. When this directive was written, no one ever thought they would have a man like Corporal Bishop attached to such a unit, but Major Tennyson thought he was the perfect man for the job. Bishop and his mates have driven headlong down the path that leads to destruction, at least for one freight house and a printing press thats being used to make counterfeit MPC to be shipped to the South to ruin its economy. And along the way the question arises, how does an East German get a newspaper article from the Wichita Gazette telling a story of something that happens in the South? New allegiances, a bunch of bad guys and a few turns make up this tale of intrigue. And yes, something to laugh at.
