New Releases by Mark Brown

A village is trapped in a repeating disturbance. A Unicorn and a Lion appear again and again, drawn to a red Shield that no one understands. Their encounters bring tension, fear, and disruption. The villagers search for a way to stop the cycle, to restore order, to return to something stable. But the deeper they look, the more the problem changes. What begins as conflict becomes inquiry. What appears as opposition becomes relation. What seems like a problem to solve reveals itself as something that cannot be solved, only seen. This is not a traditional story. It is a slow unfolding of perception. A work of fiction that behaves like philosophy. A narrative that dissolves its own structure as it progresses. Written in a precise, hypnotic style, this novella explores the nature of division, the illusion of separation, and what remains when even the need for resolution disappears. Readers of experimental fiction, philosophical literature, and boundary-pushing narrative forms will find themselves drawn into a text that does not merely tell a story, but transforms the act of reading itself. This is a book that does not give answers. It removes the need for them.

The Misunderstanding of Simulation Theory: Why the Universe Isn''t "Fake" By Mark Gordon Brown What if the universe isn''t a computer program-but consciousness itself unfolding through information? In this groundbreaking and visionary book, Mark Gordon Brown dismantles the popular misconception that Simulation Theory means we live inside an artificial video-game reality. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: the cosmos is a living, self-simulating field of information and awareness. Drawing on quantum physics, metaphysics, philosophy, and spirituality, Brown bridges science and mysticism to show that reality is not an illusion-it is intelligence becoming aware of itself. He refutes modern critics like Mir Faizal, exposing how their purely algorithmic interpretations miss the deeper ontological meaning of Simulation Theory. Discover how consciousness renders the world, how matter emerges from information, and how your perception literally co-creates the universe around you. Learn to see through the illusion of separation, reframe reality through direct awareness, and participate consciously in the living code of existence. Inside you''ll explore: Why Simulation Theory has been misunderstood by scientists and skeptics alike How quantum information and consciousness form the real substrate of reality Exercises to "debug" perception and awaken awareness of the code within The bridge between physics, metaphysics, and spiritual realization A bold new ontology for the coming age of consciousness Profound, poetic, and practical, The Misunderstanding of Simulation Theory invites readers to go beyond the clichés of "The Matrix" and step into a new understanding of Informational Reality-where science meets spirit, and the universe becomes the most beautiful simulation imaginable. Perfect for readers of Nick Bostrom, Donald Hoffman, David Bohm, Alan Watts, and Deepak Chopra.

Neo Pagan Humanism offers a radical yet grounded vision for a post industrial civilization rooted in ecological responsibility technological maturity and mythic depth. Drawing from Nietzsche Heidegger Burroughs Gysin Debord Baudrillard and Donna Haraway this book weaves solarpunk steampunk and atompunk perspectives into a living framework for life after dogma. This is not a religion and not a political manifesto. It is a practical orientation for those seeking meaning power and responsibility in an age of simulation collapse and technological acceleration. Covering art technology governance community economy spirituality and the ethics of immortality this book challenges readers to reclaim ritual character and agency without submission. For readers of philosophy futurism systems thinking post humanism pagan studies and cultural critique Neo Pagan Humanism is a call to practice rather than believe and to build rather than consume.

A bold metaphysical examination of civilization, culture, and collapse. Remembering the World explores how Indo European, Indo Aryan, and Asian civilizations built the foundations of global culture through balance, plurality, and continuity, and how those foundations were eroded by monolithic religious systems and their modern secular descendants. Blending philosophy, history, cultural analysis, and metaphysical insight, this book examines the hidden structures behind modern politics, economics, technology, and identity, revealing why apocalyptic thinking dominates public life and why progress without restraint threatens planetary survival. This is not a religious book. It is a civilizational one. It offers no dogma, only orientation. For readers interested in philosophy, cultural history, metaphysics, and the future of humanity, Remembering the World provides a compelling framework for understanding where we are and how we might endure. The higher price of this volume is for the purposes of weeding out casual readers and those who might find this work objectionable.

Through close readings of a wide range of texts by such writers as Doctorow, Wolfe, Morrison, Hustvedt, McInerney, and Safran Foer, this book explores the relationship between New York City and its literature. The Contemporary New York Novel is the first study to explore the New York novelist''s struggle to capture the complexity, diversity and history of the city. The book examine''s how writers have dealt with the city''s history of immigration, the mosaic of ethnic neighbourhoods and their continuous transformations, and the flows of international capital through Wall Street as well as the responses of the city to the trauma of 9/11. With so many of these novels having writers at the centre of their narratives, Mark Brown argues that the contemporary New York novel is concerned less with representing the lives of ordinary New Yorkers or their city inhabit than with the narcissistic cycle of self-referentiality which consistently returns the novelist to an exploration of the artist''s relationship with the process of writing about the city.

While there have been quite a few attempts to get JavaScript working as a server-side language, Node.js (frequently just called Node) has been the first environment that''s gained any traction. It''s now used by companies such as Netflix, Uber and Paypal to power their web apps. Node allows for blazingly fast performance; thanks to its event loop model, common tasks like network connection and database I/O can be executed very quickly indeed. From a beginner''s point of view, one of Node''s obvious advantages is that it uses JavaScript, a ubiquitous language that many developers are comfortable with. If you can write JavaScript for the client-side, writing server-side applications with Node should not be too much of a stretch for you. In this book, we''ll offer a beginner''s introduction to Node and its related technologies, and get you under way writing your first Node applications. It contains: What Is Node and When Should I Use It? by James Hibbard A Beginner Splurge in Node.js by Camilo Reyes and Michiel Mulders A Beginner''s Guide to npm- the Node Package Manager by Michael Wanyoike and Peter Dierx Forms, File Uploads and Security with Node.js and Express by Mark Brown MEAN Stack: Build an App with Angular 2+ and the Angular CLI by Manjunath M Debugging JavaScript with the Node Debugger by Camilo Reyes Using MySQL with Node.js and the mysql JavaScript Client by Jay Raj How to Use SSL/TLS with Node.js by Florian Rappl and Almir Bijedic This book is for anyone who wants to start learning server-side development with Node.js. Familiarity with JavaScript is assumed, but we don''t assume any previous back-end development experience.

It was a cold November night, in 1992, when I first started seeing drugs and stealing them, from my father. He use to have so much, he wouldn''t have known it was gone. He never found out I took them either. I told my brother I wanted to be a drug dealer. I was sitting at the table, with my family and he told my parents. They immediately got on me with and stated that I was going to be dead or in jail. My father was really pissed off. He was in his mad mode. God was calling me then, but I wasn''t listening. He showed me the end of the world, in a dream. In the dream, I saw a serpent, on one side, and the great day on the other side of the house. The Bible says it is going to be a great and terrible day. Back to the dream, God brought His hand down and I got in it and went up with Him and then I woke up. This dream scared me for a minute, but I went back to the hustle.

This project emerged from conversations between three individuals, Dr. Lawrence Babits (Program in Maritime Studies, ECU), Dr. Nancy White (UNC-Coastal Studies Institute), and Feather Phillips (Pocosin Arts Folk School) in the spring of 2011. This meeting was focused on a very simple question, "how can we work together?" Coincidentally, I had recently become the Interim Program Head at the Coastal Studies Institute (a joint appointment with the Program in Maritime Studies), and was scheduled to teach HIST6835: Advanced Research Methods for Maritime Archaeology (a class for MA students centered on utilizing technology in maritime archaeology and focused on instructing students in utilizing remote sensing instrumentation). It was obvious that with these three organizations in the lead, we could start the process of concurrently researching the largely unexamined Scuppernong River (and adjacent Bull Bay) while also teaching students how to conduct a remote sensing survey. Consequently, I was thrown into the fray. At first I felt some trepidation - after all, not all rivers are the same - not all rivers hold the potential to teach our students about the techniques and technologies at our disposal, and even fewer rivers guarantee us the promise of engaging our intellectual curiosities.

The war defines the warrior. Born into a tribal war with India, trained as a black belt and street fighter from the age of nine, tortured and left for dead at the age of seventeen, Cosmo Zimik has an intimate, working knowledge of violence. During his long weeks of recovery, nursed to health by a total stranger deep in the jungle, the seed of the Empty Hand Revolution germinated in Cosmo''s mind. Four years of underground fight clubs, multiple contracts on his life and another near death experience forced Cosmo''s Empty Hand Revolution into full fruition. In a world hungry for power and drunk on violence, what does it mean to be a warrior? True greatness requires humility. Courage requires surrender. Developing into a warrior on such terms has been Cosmo Zimik''s life quest. Born a Naga and forged a warrior, Zimik became a missionary and then finally a revolutionary of a new breed. From the jungles of Manipur to the streets of Delhi to the countryside of Idaho, his extraordinary journey will inspire and convict. Empty Hand Revolution invites the reader to experience Cosmo''s sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, yet always incredible world through his own eyes. And may the bold in spirit discover first-hand where empty hands can lead.

This book provides an account of the distinctive way in which penal power developed outside the metropolitan centre. Proposing a radical revision of the Foucauldian thesis that criminological knowledge emerged in the service of a new form of power – discipline – that had inserted itself into the very centre of punishment, it argues that Foucault’s alignment of sovereign, disciplinary and governmental power will need to be reread and rebalanced to account for its operation in the colonial sphere. In particular it proposes that colonial penal power in India is best understood as a central element of a liberal colonial governmentality. To give an account of the emergence of this colonial form of penal power that was distinct from its metropolitan counterpart, this book analyses the British experience in India from the 1820s to the early 1920s. It provides a genealogy of both civil and military spheres of government, illustrating how knowledge of marginal and criminal social orders was tied in crucial ways to the demands of a colonial rule that was neither monolithic nor necessarily coherent. The analysis charts the emergence of a liberal colonial governmentality where power was almost exclusively framed in terms of sovereignty and security and where disciplinary strategies were given only limited and equivocal attention. Drawing on post-colonial theory, Penal Power and Colonial Rule opens up a new and unduly neglected area of research. An insightful and original exploration of theory and history, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Law, Criminology, History and Post-colonial Studies.

La recherche de la vérité, objet de la science désintéressée, face à l''opinion publique ? Les experts contre les profanes et, coincés au milieu, les "décideurs"? Appliquée aux grandes questions reliant l''éthique, voire la simple survie des populations, et l''avancée technologique, la convergence entre les deux catégories d''individus ne va pas de soi ! Témoins les controverses sur le changement climatique, la vache folle, le principe de précaution contre la grippe aviaire, les nanotechnologies, les OGM, les antennes-relais, etc. Autant de pommes de discorde qui mettent en question tant la légitimité des experts que celle du citoyen et posent le problème crucial de l''information publique, puis de l''action politique.
