In The Mechanics of Awaking Gary Sherman takes us on a journey beyond ordinary perception to the field of energy and awareness beyond the mind and body, a place within each of us where we can discover the essence of ourselves and learn about our self from our self so that we can consciously create the life we wish to experience. With a clarity that is rare, the author distills three primary skills we can use to open the self and its mechanics to self-observation and expanded self-awareness. He provides a playful, simple yet profound practice for learning how to utilize these skills within our...

There has never been a universal algebra of data. Mathematics has been widely employed by software in many ways: numerical analysis, statistics, algorithms, mathematical modeling, and so on, but it has never been used to formally define data in all its variety.
This changed when mathematical research into data algebra--carried out for Algebraix Data Corporation by one of the authors of this book--matured and was tested in an extensive range of data management, data integration, and performance optimization contexts. The purpose of this book is to explain that data algebra.

This third volume of Naturally Hypernatural explores contemporary concepts of landscape in the humanities and the arts in relation to the notion that our age is defined by a geology of the human and that this reckoning constitutes a new epoch, aptly named the anthropocene. The thesis of this volume that there is no homogeneous concept of landscape, just as there is no uniform definition of nature or culture was developed concurrently at a conference at the University of Graz and at a series of exhibitions centered on film, painting and photography at the Kunsthaus Graz. This...
