The Brain Is the Screen: Deleuze and the Philosophy of Cinema by Gregory Flaxman and Editor,Gregory Flaxman

The first broad-ranging collection on Deleuze's essential works on cinema. In the nearly twenty years since their publication, Gilles Deleuze's books about cinema have proven as daunting as they are enticing-a new aesthetics of film, one equally at home with Henri Bergson and Wim Wenders, Friedrich Nietzsche and Orson Welles, that also takes its place in the philosopher's immense and difficult oeuvre. With this collection, the first to focus solely and extensively on Deleuze's cinematic work, the nature and reach of that work finally become clear. Composed of a substantial introduction, twelve original essays produced for this volume, and a new English translation of a personal, intriguing, and little-known interview with Deleuze on his cinema books, The Brain Is the Screen is a sustained engagement with Deleuze's cinematic philosophy that leads to a new view of the larger confrontation of philosophy with cinematic images.Contributors: Éric Alliez, U of Vienna; Dudley Andrew, U of Iowa; Peter Canning; Tom Conley, Harvard U; András Bálint Kovács, ELTE U, Budapest; Gregg Lambert, Syracuse U; Laura U.

How Is Quantum Field Theory Possible? By Sunny Y Auyang
1995 | 289 Pages | ISBN: 0195093445 | PDF | 20 MB
This book contains some good ideas, but large parts of it are too hard for me to get anything out of, both due to an assumption that the reader knows a good deal about quantum mechanics and due to a style which probably requires rereading most parts multiple times in order to decipher even those parts which don't require an understanding of quantum mechanics.I was impressed by her explanation of how we should understand the uncertainty of position and momentum measurements. She says the quantum entities have genuine deterministic properties, but we shouldn't try to think of position and momentum as properties of any persistent entities. They are properties associated with specific measurements. The properties of persistent entities such as atoms are mostly stranger than what we can measure, and measurements only give us indirect evidence of those properties.Her descriptions of coordinate systems used in quantum physics seem inconsistent with the impressions I got from Smolin's Trouble with Physics. Smolin implies (but doesn't clearly state) that quantum theory retains Newtonian background dependent coordinates. Auyang's descriptions of quantum coordinate systems seem very different. It's clear that I've only scratched the surface of what's needed to understand these issues.

My House Is Killing Me!: A Complete Guide to a Healthier Indoor Environment, 2nd Edition (Audiobook) by Jeffrey C. May, Connie L. May

Narrator: Peter Lerman
It's a world we barely see, but it is teeming with life. In the dust of a typical house, carpet beetles, mites, silverfish, and other creatures live and die, producing allergen-laden dust. Meanwhile, stinky mold, bacteria, and yeast lurk undetected in heating and cooling systems. Debris dispersed into the air from these organisms can cause runny noses, itchy eyes, coughing, headaches, and breathing difficulties. Some people, especially those made highly sensitive by allergies, suffer from devastating health problems and worry that, as one such sufferer lamented, "My house is killing me!"
