In this book, after discussing the fundamental problems of current science and other philosophic concepts, beginning with controversies between Heraclitus and Parmenides, Ilya Prigogine launches into a message of great hope: the future has not been determined. Contrary to globalisation and the apparent contemporary mass culture society, individual behaviour is beginning to increasingly become the key factor which governs the evolution of both the world and society as a whole. It is a message that challenges existing widespread views, implicitly or explicitly, through mass communication; moreover the importance of the individual's actions implies a reflection of each person on the responsibilities that each one assumes when taking or acting upon a decision. This responsibility is associated with the freedom of thought as well as a critical analysis of fashions, customs, preconceived ideas, and ideologies, externally imposed: exactly contrary to the ideas of those who wish us to be ?perfect consumers? in a world dominated only by monetary wealth.Challenging this drive towards the elimination of freedom of thought in the individual is now imperative if we are to save man and his planet from catastrophe, which seems to be ever imminent and (unfortunately) irreversible.This last book of Ilya Prigogine provides a small, disputable, but nonetheless valuable contribution towards that end.

The "Tales from the Future" collection consists of several true stories, which are yet to come to pass, each representing a specific projection of the world's future. The tales were taken from chapters in the "Ringing Cedars of Russia" book series by Vladimir Megre. The collection's chapters speak to us of the power of man's dreams, of love, of the perfection of man, and of the wonderful future which is possible for everyone. These are not ordinary stories: the amazingly striking images that the storyteller has embedded in this given picture of a future life contain an all-mighty healing power that inspires the reader to dream, to change himself, and to transform the world around him. What lies at the foundation of the stories is the idea of "family homesteads," which is capable of returning man to the promised land around him, of reanimating creativity and dreams, and of giving new meaning to one's everyday life. The collection includes tales from the following chapters: Vladimir Megre, the book "Co-creation" chapter "School, or Lesson of the Gods" Vladimir Megre, the book "Who Are We?" chapters "May There Be Good on Earth," "The Disarmament Race" Vladimir Megre, the book "Who Are We?" chapter "Horsewoman from the Future" Vladimir Megre, the book "Who Are We?" chapter "City on the Neva" Vladimir Megre, the book "The Energy of Life" chapter "Give Children a Homeland" Vladimir Megre, the book "The New Civilization" chapter "I Will Give Birth to You, My Angel" Vladimir Megre, the book "The New Civilization" chapter "A Love That Creates Worlds" Vladimir Megre, the book "The New Civilization" chapter "The Billionaire" Vladimir Megre, the book "The New Civilization II - Rites of Love" chapter "A Meeting Millennia Later"

Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. As Michio Kaku reveals, not only are they possible, but with the latest advances in brain science and recent astonishing breakthroughs in technology, they already exist. In The Future of the Mind, the New York Times-bestselling author takes us on a stunning, provocative and exhilarating tour of the top laboratories around the world to meet the scientists who are already revolutionising the way we think about the brain - and ourselves.

This is a continuation of The Path Given. Jonna inherits a challenge that she does not feel qualified for. Tragedy places her on a new path into the future. Jonna cannot escape her unwanted reputation as a great peacemaker, a great negotiator, and a heroine to the common people. It is a fact that one cannot evade one's reputation, good or bad; it is a burden one must accept. Little things lead to bigger things that lead to great things under their own momentum. Jonna tolerates and cajoles a nutty physicist that has some weird ideas, along with a few creative scientists and engineers, giving them an opportunity to create unusual things using spooky physics. Nothing is easy. She questions most of the decision she makes. Her sense of duty and responsibility forces Jonna onto a path going to extraordinary destinations. All things change, usually in unforeseen ways.

Presentism, the view that only the present exists, was a much neglected position in the philosophy of time for a number of years. Recently, however, it has been enjoying a renaissance among philosophers. A Future for Presentism is meant as a timely contribution to this fast growing and exciting debate. After discussing rival positions in the philosophy of time, in Part I Craig Bourne shows how presentism is the only viable alternative to the tenseless theory of time. He then develops a distinctive version of presentism that avoids the mistakes of the past, and which sets up the framework for solving problems traditionally associated with the position, such as what makes past-tensed statements true, how to give the proper semantics for statements about the future, how to deal with transtemporal relations, how we can meaningfully talk about past individuals, and how causation can be accommodated. Part I concludes with a discussion of the direction of time and causation, the decision-theoretic problem known as 'Newcomb's problem', and the possibility of time travel and causal loops. In Part II Bourne focuses on the problems for presentism raised by relativity theory. He begins with by giving a self-contained exposition of the concepts of special relativity that are important for understanding the later discussion of its philosophical implications. The last two chapters explore the philosophical implications of certain cosmological models that arise from general relativity, namely the expanding models, which seem to represent our universe, and Gödel's infamous model, which allows us to take a journey into our future and arrive in our past. The necessary physics is explained with the aid of diagrams, throughout.

In order to confront the increasingly severe water problems faced by all parts of the country, the United States needs to make a new commitment to research on water resources. A new mechanism is needed to coordinate water research currently fragmented among nearly 20 federal agencies. Given the competition for water among farmers, communities, aquatic ecosystems and other users-as well as emerging challenges such as climate change and the threat of waterborne diseases-Confronting the Nation's Water Problems concludes that an additional $70 million in federal funding should go annually to water research. Funding should go specifically to the areas of water demand and use, water supply augmentation, and other institutional research topics. The book notes that overall federal funding for water research has been stagnant in real terms for the past 30 years and that the portion dedicated to research on water use and social science topics has declined considerably.
