Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world, from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However, we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else, forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles, Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology, which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain, while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy, philosophers interested in physics, and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

This readable introduction to particle physics and cosmology discusses the interaction of these two fundamental branches of physics and considers recent advances beyond the standard models. Eight chapters comprise a brief introduction to the gauge theories of the strong and the electroweak interactions, the so-called grand unified theories, and general relativity. Ten more chapters address recent concepts such as composite fermions and bosons, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and strings theories, and relate them to modern cosmology and experimental astronomy.

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Fantasy

Seventeen-year-old Heidi Cruise has one chance at freedom, but it involves breaking the law and completing Savage Run, a grueling, male-only obstacle course program.  Nicholas Volkov has one goal: to make sure when he becomes president over the hierarchical society of Newland that he doesn't follow in his tyrannical father's footsteps.  After Heidi registers for the program, Nicholas discovers that she's a girl. Being a rebel in his own right, Nicholas doesn't turn her in, but decides to help in any way possible.  Heidi struggles through the obstacle courses in Savage Run. Physically and emotionally drained, it is only during downtime between events that she's able to make sense of her world and get a little closer to the secretive Nicholas.  But with the threat of death constantly barreling down on her, and with menacing contestants looming around every obstacle, it's almost guaranteed that she'll be killed before she manages to win her freedom.   ***Important!

Savage Run

Literature & Fiction

Heidi has made it part-way through the deadly Savage Run obstacle courses. However, the challenges to come are even more grueling than what she has already struggled through. So far, her gender has not been discovered, but it's only a matter of time before someone realizes she's a girl and has registered for Savage Run illegally. And when that happens, not even Nicholas will be able to protect her from being thrown into jail and possibly executed for breaking the law. As she searches for safety from the storm around her, an unexpected romance flourishes in the midst of all the chaos, but never having learned to trust anyone, Heidi finds it nearly impossible to open her heart. And as the obstacles increase in difficulty and her life is on the line again and again, she is forced to choose between her freedom, her safety, and the ones she loves. ***Important!
