This second book on Unity Root Matrix Theory extends its original
three-dimensional formulation, as given in the first book, to an
arbitrary number of higher dimensions. Unity Root Matrix Theory is
formulated with strong adherence to concepts in mathematical
physics and it is thought it may provide a discrete formulation of
physical phenomena at the Planck level and upward. Consequently, it
is essential that the theory incorporates the geometric
dimensionality present in established physical theories. In
particular, it must naturally embody the four-dimensional spacetime
of Special Relativity, the five dimensions of Kaluza-Klein theory,
and the eleven or more dimensions of Grand Unified Theories such as
String Theory. Not only has an n-dimensional extension of Unity
Root Matrix Theory successfully been achieved, whilst retaining all
the three-dimensional mathematical and physical properties detailed
in the first book, but a complete n-dimensional solution has been
obtained which exhibits the geometric property of compactification,
or dimensional reduction. This solution shows that dimensional
shrinkage of higher dimensions may occur over long evolutionary
timescales. The emergence of compactification and other physical
phenomena gives further confidence that n-dimensional Unity Root
Matrix Theory may, indeed, offer a discrete formulation of Physics
starting at its most elemental level.
Developed on surprisingly simple but fundamental concepts, it
provides a rich mathematical and physical structure, justifying it
as a subject to be studied in its own right by physicists and
mathematicians alike. Ultimately, it is thought that unity root
matrix theory may provide an alternative reformulation of some
fundamental concepts in physics and an integer-based escape from
the current, unification impasse.
One of the most common issues clients face is lack of energy,
vitality or prana and this book presents a simple yet revolutionary
breathing approach to restore balance. Grounded in the yogic
teachings, this text introduces the Buteyko breathing method as a
more contemporary way of understanding the original intention of
pranayama. Through extensive research, Robin Rothenberg establishes
that as with Dr. Buteyko's breath retraining technique, the ancient
yogis prescribed breathing less not more. Vedic science and
physiology are broken down and explained in accessible ways. The
book presents a new understanding and application of breathing to
address a wide range of ailments, including COPD, asthma,
hay-fever, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, sleep apnoea and
neurological conditions.
Recent years have witnessed a surge in the number of via ferrata
routes set up in the iconic mountains of the French Alps. With
routes set on or near many classics including the massifs of Mont
Blanc, the Vanoise and the Queyras, this guide shows the best of
what is now available. The 66 routes in this guidebook are grouped
by area - Geneva and the Northern Alps, Chambery, the Tarentaise
and Maurienne valleys, Grenoble and Briancon - and run the full
gamut of challenge, from very easy, protected routes suitable for
children, through to extremely exposed and technical routes for
experienced ferrataists only. Everything you need to know to take
up this exciting sport is covered here, including techniques and
equipment required and glossary of specialist terminology, and all
the routes are graded for difficulty, exposure and seriousness.
Routes are illustrated by topo diagrams on colour photographs, and
simple sketch maps. Those used to the older Italian routes will
find these French routes quite different, closer to scrambling or
rock climbing and often seeking out the most vertigo-inducing
terrain. But most routes should be within the reach of any strong
hillwalker and protection is high and well maintained."
A new edition of this acclaimed guide--updated with the most
current, research-supported iRest(R) practices and insights Within
you resides an ever-present self that is always whole and healthy,
filled with an abiding sense of inner peace, and completely
indestructible. This is your true Essence, and no matter what
you've been through in the past, it is here, waiting to be
recognized, embodied, and remembered. In this updated edition of
his groundbreaking book Yoga Nidra, yogic scholar and clinical
psychologist Dr. Richard Miller invites you to experience
iRest(R)--a research-based approach to the ancient meditative art
of Yoga Nidra. While Yoga Nidra is perhaps best known as a practice
for deep relaxation and better sleep, at its heart lies a profound
path to inner freedom. With practice, we discover that everything
we need to find healing, presence, and joy is already within us.
With clear instruction, new insights into the deeper roots of
well-being, supplemental worksheets, and online audio practices,
Miller guides you step-by-step to: - Discover life-changing
practices for vibrant health, personal empowerment, and inner
transformation - Enjoy complete relaxation and deep sleep--awaken
refreshed and full of inspiration - Find healing from trauma,
addiction, chronic pain, daily stress, and more - Explore the Vedic
roots of Yoga Nidra--we are at once unique individuals and
interconnected parts of a greater whole - Access the state of
consciousness between waking and sleeping at will and learn to work
with your subconscious mind for greater healing and insight -
Awaken to your true Essence and the unshakable goodness, health,
and joy already within "Wholeness, presence, and indestructible
well-being exist innately within us," teaches Miller. "With Yoga
Nidra, we realize that these aren't qualities to attain down the
road--they are gifts to be experienced from the outset of whatever
journey we're on."
This volume summarizes recent developments in our understanding of
active galactic nuclei, including quasars, seyfert galaxies and
radio galaxies. The predominant emphasis is put on observational
results with information from essentially all wave bands, but
important theoretical results are also presented. Among the
contributions are discussions of the different types of active
galaxies, the nature of the central engine, the wiggly structure of
radio jets, the dynamics of the gas in jets, the study of
millimeter and extreme ultraviolet regions, and a discussion of the
observed continuum of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The
intended readers are professional astronomers and astrophysicists
as well as graduate students in this field of research.
On August 2000 in the Lomonosov Moscow State University the first
scientific conference dedicated to chaos in the real astronomical
systems was held. The most prominent astrophysisists - specialist
in the field of stochastic dynamics - attended the conference. A
broad scope of the problems related to the observed manifes tations
of chaotic motions in galactic and stellar objects, with the
involvement of basic theory and numerical modeling, were addressed.
The idea (not so obvious, as we believe, to many astrophysicists)
was to show that, while great progress in the field of stochastic
mechanics was accomplished, the science of chaos in actually
observed systems is only just being born. Basically, the situation
described prompted the organizers to hold the meeting in order to
discuss chaotic processes in real systems. It seemed worthwhile to
begin these introductory remarks with a brief descrip tion of some
events that preceeded the conference. Since actually existing
systems are the subject of the natural sciences, and in the latter
experiments play the key role, we shall begin our account with the
experimental results."
This book addresses a broad range of problems related to observed
manifestations of chaotic motions in galactic and stellar objects,
by invoking basic theory, numerical modeling, and observational
evidence. For the first time, methods of stochastic dynamics are
applied to actually observed astronomical objects, e.g. the gaseous
disc of the spiral galaxy NGC 3631. In the latter case, the
existence of chaotic trajectories in the boundary of giant vortices
was recently found by the calculation of the Lyapunov
characteristic number of these trajectories.
The reader will find research results on the peculiarities of
chaotic system behaviour; a study of the integrals of motion in
self-consistent systems; numerical modeling results of the
evolution process of disk systems involving resonance excitation of
the density waves in spiral galaxies; a review of specific
formations in stars and high-energy sources demonstrating their
stochastic nature; a discussion of the peculiarities of the
precessional motion of the accretion disk and relativistic jets in
the double system SS 433; etc.
This book stands out as the first one that deals with the
problem of chaos in real astrophysical objects. It is intended for
graduate and post-graduate students in the fields of non-linear
dynamics, astrophysics, planetary and space physics; specifically
for those dealing with computer modeling of the relevant
processes.
A troupe of black actors perform their own "Tempest." Cesaire's
rich and insightful adaptation draws on contemporary Caribbean
society, the African-American experience and African mythology to
raise questions about colonialism, racism and their lasting
effects.
Aime Cesaire, who was born in Martinique in 1913, is one of this
century's major writers. In his poetry, plays and political
activities he has waged a lifelong struggle to restore dignity to
colonized people. His best known work is "Return to My Native Land"
first published in 1949 and his "Collected Poems" are published by
the University of California Press.
Texts and translation of all Debussy's songs with valuable notes.
This completely revised second edition of The Poetic Debussy
contains the most recent discoveries in the composer's oeuvre,
including a number of hitherto unknown songs. The texts of all
Debussy's songs, both in the original French and with revised
English translations on the facing page, are collected in
chronological order, with notes and location of sources. In
addition, Margaret Cobb has brought together a fascinating
selection of Debussy's letters which have poetic refences, and has
updated the notes on those twenty-six compositions based on or
inspired by literary texts. This work will prove an invaluable aid
to performers, scholars and students, as it contains the texts,
with translations, of the full output of Debussy's songs, describes
his works derived from literary sources, and includes important
background material.
Friends and Other Strangers argues for expanding the field of
religious ethics to address the normative dimensions of culture,
interpersonal desires, friendships and family, and institutional
and political relationships. Richard B. Miller urges religious
ethicists to turn to cultural studies to broaden the range of the
issues they address and to examine matters of cultural practice and
cultural difference in critical and self-reflexive ways. Friends
and Other Strangers critically discusses the ethics of ethnography;
ethnocentrism, relativism, and moral criticism; empathy and the
ethics of self-other attunement; indignation, empathy, and
solidarity; the meaning of moral responsibility in relation to
children and friends; civic virtue, war, and alterity; the
normative and psychological dimensions of memory; and religion and
democratic public life. Miller challenges distinctions between
psyche and culture, self and other, and uses the concepts of
intimacy and alterity as dialectical touchstones for examining the
normative dimensions of self-other relationships. A wholly
contemporary, global, and interdisciplinary work, Friends and Other
Strangers illuminates aspects of moral life ethicists have
otherwise overlooked.
