  • <p><strong>An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise, based on the popular blog of the same name.</strong></p> <p>Whether you’re deciding which smartphone to purchase or which politician to believe, you think you are a rational being whose every decision is based on cool, detached logic. But here’s the truth: You are not so smart. You’re just as deluded as the rest of usーbut that’s okay, because being deluded is part of being human.</p> <p>Growing out of David McRaney’s popular blog, <em>You Are Not So Smart</em> reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. But often these stories aren’t true. Each short chapterーcovering topics such as Learned Helplessness, Selling Out, and the Illusion of Transparencyーis like a psychology course with all the boring parts taken out.</p> <p>Bringing together popular science and psychology with ...

  • <p>This carefully crafted ebook: "The Time Machine (Science Fiction Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Time Machine is a science fiction novel. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The story reflects Wells's own socialist political views, his view on life and abundance, and the contemporary angst about industrial relations. The book's protagonist is an English scientist and gentleman inventor living in Richmond, Surrey in Victorian England, and identified by a narrator simply as the Time Traveller. The narrator recounts the Traveller's lecture to his weekly dinner guests that time is simply a fourth dimension, and his demonstration of a tabletop model machine for travelling through it.

  • <p>van Jo Zybell Het formaat van dit boek komt overeen met 226 paperbackpagina's. Duizenden jaren lang hebben twee volkeren met elkaar gevochten zonder dat een van beide partijen een noemenswaardig voordeel heeft behaald. De situatie escaleert alleen maar wanneer een ruimteschip van het Kelradan-rijk bij toeval verschijnt. Het schip wordt beschoten door een geautomatiseerd station en gedwongen een noodlanding te maken. De Kelradans proberen het station te veroveren en buitenaardse technologie te vinden. De gevechten waarschuwen ook het sterrenschip Stardust onder leiding van Ryan Whittaker. Het kleine, beperkte conflict dreigt een intergalactische confrontatie te worden, want de Kelradan willen niet zomaar vertrekken. De mensen moeten niet alleen vechten tegen de aliens, ze moeten ook de Yupars redden, die letterlijk het gevaar lopen dat de hemel op hun hoofd valt.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない...

  • <p>Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English - History of Literature, Eras, California State University, Fullerton, course: Science Fiction Literature, language: English, abstract: 'There is no traced-out path to lead man to his salvation; he must constantly invent his own path (Vasey).' With this freedom comes immense fear- fear of choices, of the consequences of those choices. Perhaps worse than this, is the thought of no consequence at all. Not because of proper decision-making or behavior, but simply because the consequence would be irrelevant. In the end, it mattered not what anyone did-it all just ends. Existentialist philosophy begs these kinds of questions; many of which play directly into the newly bled together works or horror and science fiction. 'Blood Music' by Greg Bear is a terrifying work of art that incorporates existentialist theory into its story to contemplate human existence, or the potential lack thereof, and the implications of a genre composed of both...

  • <p>'Materials and Methods of Fiction' is a treatise on the art of writing fiction novels. Author and critic Clayton Hamilton surmises that, "The purpose of fiction is to embody certain truths of human life in a series of imagined facts. The importance of this purpose is scarcely ever appreciated by the casual careless reader of the novels of a season. Although it is commonly believed that such a reader overestimates the weight of works of fiction, the opposite is trueーhe underestimates it. Every novelist of genuine importance seeks not merely to divert but also to instructーto instruct, not abstractly, like the essayist, but concretely, by presenting to the reader characters and actions which are true.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
