Quantum Anthropologies
In Quantum Anthropologies, the renowned feminist theorist Vicki Kirby contends that some of the most provocative aspects of deconstruction have yet to be explored. Deconstruction’s implications have been curtailed by the assumption that issues of textuality and representation are specific to the domain of culture. Revisiting Derrida’s claim that there is “no outside of text,” Kirby argues that theories of cultural construction developed since the linguistic turn have inadvertently reproduced the very binaries they intended to question, such as those between nature and culture, matter and ideation, and fact and value. Through new readings of Derrida, Husserl, Saussure, Butler, Irigara...
Numbered Lives
A feminist media history of quantification, uncovering the stories behind the tools and technologies we use to count, measure, and weigh our lives and realities. Anglo-American culture has used media to measure and quantify lives for centuries. Historical journal entries map the details of everyday life, while death registers put numbers to life's endings. Today we count our daily steps with fitness trackers and quantify births and deaths with digitized data. How are these present-day methods for measuring ourselves similar to those used in the past? In this book, Jacqueline Wernimont presents a new media history of western quantification, uncovering the stories behind the tools and technolo...

Life on the Edge
Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? Even in this age of cloning and synthetic biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on evolution, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life's dynamics as Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, they show how photosynthesis relies on subatomic particle...
Meeting the Universe Halfway
A theoretical physicist and feminist theorist, Karen Barad elaborates her theory of agential realism, a schema that is at once a new epistemology, ontology, and ethics.
The Tao of Quantum Living
The quest of an average individual searching for himself through the complex realities of life, experiencing various paranormal phenomena, that generates curiosity into the different realms of existence. The ups and downs of life, each bringing its practical lesson to be learnt, and experiments with yogic science bringing certain mystical experiences that resonates with the understanding of great works done in the field of quantum physics. Stepping out of the regular comfort zone and pursuing various spiritual practices that can bring about an implosive impact at the quantum level. This book shares information for students of life who enjoy questioning the very existence of oneself, with the inevitable question, “Who am I?” and how one can go about leading a regular normal domestic life while unraveling its mysteries and yet strike a balance with the spiritual realms which was thought to be the privilege of sacred yogis.
Living Your Divine Life
Living Your Divine Life takes you beyond the monumental "peak experience", beyond priceless "enlightenment", and beyond human thought- to effortless living, nonstop miracles, God- conscious (Christ-in-us) reality, and ceaseless joy as your natural state. Before we learned to walk or feed ourselved with a spoon, we have to acquire these now second nature "information-processing" skills that originate beyond the conscious mind. Equally, if we want to realize the highest state of our being, happiness and prosperity, we can also bring these second nature (effortless, source code) skills into our daily lives. This mathematical source code, which scientists call the laws of nature, is the DNA of l...
Physics of Life
The purpose of the book is to give a survey of the physics that is relevant for biological applications, and also to discuss what kind of biology needs physics. The book gives a broad account of basic physics, relevant for the applications and various applications from properties of proteins to processes in the cell to wider themes such as the brain, the origin of life and evolution. It also considers general questions of common interest such as reductionism, determinism and randomness, where the physics view often is misunderstood. The subtle balance between order and disorder is a repeated theme appearing in many contexts. There are descriptive parts which shall be sufficient for the comprehension of general ideas, and more detailed, formalistic parts for those who want to go deeper, and see the ideas expressed in terms of mathematical formulas.- Describes how physics is needed for understanding basic principles of biology- Discusses the delicate balance between order and disorder in living systems - Explores how physics play a role high biological functions, such as learning and thinking
