This reprint includes papers that were presented at the Zimányi School Winter Workshop in 2022. This workshop aimed to summarize the developments of 2022 in high-energy heavy-ion physics with particular attention to the new data emerging from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and SPS. The included papers discuss new results in hydrodynamics, flow and femtoscopy. One of the main aims of the workshop was to encourage interactions between the theoretical and experimental community, hence experimental and theoretical papers appear alongside one another in the reprint.

Christopher Hitchens once said that "religion poisons everything". This is true, but it did not go far enough. Belief poisons everything. Notice that I did not say it kills everything, because like any addiction, it is possible to be functional, but the addiction does poison every part of the persons life. This is an attempt brake a trail into a new way of living that abhors Belief. Not just religious Belief, but all Belief. It is a way forward to a reality without the word believe, which is a difficult concept to even imagine. Special versus general revelation, faith versus trust, Belief verses Knowledge, Experience verses fear. Becoming more than apes we are by choice, affecting our own evolution, boldly navigating the great filter, enjoying each other on the way.

About the Marlette Water Systems. Water was stored in wooden tanks and sent through pipes into the towns. Virginia City had become America's greatest producer of high grade silver and gold ore. On May 12, 1862 the water companies combined to form the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company. In the early 1870's the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company realized they needed more water to supply the cities domestic and mining needs as a drought was starting to threaten the cities. "I started out taking pictures of this pristine area just for myself, but it morphed into something bigger and I became interested in the history of the water system. Then I decided to incorporate this history into a picture book that I was putting together for myself. I have traveled all the roads involved in the water system, from Marlette to Virginia City, Nevada and it has been quite a trip. I am excited to share this experience with other people as the Marlette area provides beauty and tranquility." From the author Julie Michler

God's Promises Mean Everything spans seven years in the life of Derek, a homeless hostel resident who lives in Teesside in the North East of England. After being granted permission by the hostel, Mark visited Derek 1-2 times a month - to drop off food or hang out, talk or just listen to music. These visits, this time spent in each others' company, became essential to the work and allowed Mark and Derek to develop a unique project that was fully collaborative. The book is an immersive long-term character portrait that extends over a number of years, but limits its perspective to a single room. Haunted by the spectre of the family he lost, Derek lives without the safety nets many of us take for granted. Significant life choices - involving financial difficulties, mental and physical health - are always close to the surface. God's Promises Mean Everything reveals the unsettling fragility in the connections that make up our everyday experience. It is a personal, empathetic portrait of a man trapped in difficult circumstances. A story of disconnection and loss, but also of survival and daily rebellion.

An impassioned philosophical celebration of the multiple dimensions of contemporary cuteness.Involuntarily sucked into the forcefield of Cute, Amy Ireland and Maya B. Kronic decided to let go, give in, let the demon ride them, and make an accelerationism out of it—only to realize that Cute opens a microcosmic gate onto the transcendental process of acceleration itself.Joining the swarming e-girls, t-girls, NEETS, anons, and otaku who rescued accelerationism from the double pincers of media panic and academic buzzkill by introducing it to big eyes, fluffy ears, programming socks, and silly memes, they discover that the objects of cute culture are just spinoffs of an accelerative process booping us from the future, rendering us all submissive, breedable, helpless, and cute in our turn. Cute comes tomorrow, and only anastrophe can make sense of what it will have been doing to us.Evading all discipline, sliding across all possible surfaces, Cute Accelerationism embraces every detail of the symptomatology, aetiology, epidemiology, history, biology, etymology, topology, and even embryology of Cute, joyfully burrowing down into its natural, cultural, sensory, sexual, subjective, erotic, and semiotic dimensions in order to sound out the latent spaces of this Thing that has soft-soaped its way into human culture.Traversing tangents on natural and unnatural selection, runaway supernormalisation, the collective self-transformation of genderswarming cuties, the hyperstitional cultures of shojo and otaku, denpa and 2D love, and the cute subworlds of aegyo and meng, moé and flatmaxxing, catboys and dogon eggs, bobbles and gummies, vore machines and partial objects, BwOs and UwUs…glomping, snuggling, smooshing and squeeeeing their way toward the event horizon of Cute, donning cat ears and popping bubbles as they go, in this untimely philosophical intensification of an omnipresent phenomenon, having surrendered to the squishiest demonic possession, like, ever, two bffs set out in search of the transcendental shape of cuteness only to realize that, even though it is all around us, we do not yet know what Cute can do.Seriously superficial and bafflingly coherent, half erudite philosophical treatise, half dariacore mashup, 100 percent cutagion, this compact lil’ textual machine is a meltdown and a glow up, as well as a twizzled homage to Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus. Welcome to the kawaiizome: nothing uncute makes it out of the near future, and the cute will very soon no longer be even remotely human.

There is a substantial body of work emerging currently, seeking to address the problems caused by the economic model that has dominated the world for the last several hundred years - not least the negative impacts on the environment and sustainable health of the biosphere. This book adds to that body of literature, and brings an interesting new set of ideas into play.The author offers an approach to the philosophies and politics of nature based on a reinterpretation of the history of capitalism, in particular its concept of capital. It leads to a new anti-capitalist conception of the philosophy of ecology which takes into account at the same time history, ethics, politics, law and economics.By linking philosophy, law, economics and management, this work seeks to go beyond the mono-disciplinary and purely theoretical approaches which often characterize works devoted to the philosophy of nature, or the philosophy of ecology. It proposes a concrete philosophical alternative to modern capitalism which leads to ecological co-management and care at all levels of society, including that of political bodies, and the reform of constitutions and parliaments.In short, it is a book for a theory and a practice of environmental action in the broad sense within the framework of an institutional revolution passing in particular through the heart of the capitalist system.

"This book examines Spinoza's ontological argument and introduces the concept of "paradoxical singularity." It explores the ways in which Spinoza's ontology establishes a framework in which singular things are, paradoxically, differentiated through intersecting causes. The book argues that Spinoza's ontological argument functions at once as a philosophical, religious, and political ethos in which interpretation is inseparable from cooperation. This emphasizes a connection between the productions of knowledge (interpretation) and the way of life (ethos) that those productions involve and express. Recommended for scholars interested in Spinoza's influence on post-structuralism, trans-individuality, and the history of secular religious thought." --

A faint cry over howling winds wakes me at 2:00 a.m. Boots, coat, and hat on, I grab my lantern and head out in a blizzard to the barn to mount my horse and search for the source of the cry: a newborn calf under a fresh blanket of snow.The cowboy's way of life embraces hard work, trust, and respect in the service of a greater purpose: community service, stewardship, and faith. It's called riding for the brand. The pay is modest; the toll on the body hard and the reward great. Hours on a horse, tending fences under wide-open sky as a hawk circles overhead, calves born under starry nights that finish with conversation around a campfire, the ole cook singing while making grub-- this is my "office." I have been asked many times why we cowboys ride for our money and rope for short pay. I can't imagine any other way.My photos are a testament to the cowboy life, defined by hard work in God's glorious country. Gold- and blue-hour light convey that glory and the long hours. This is who we are. Our handshake is a promise, our word is all you need, and living for the greater good is our way of life.

"Dark Room A-Z unpacks Paul Sepuya's Dark Room series (2016-21), offering a deep dive into the thick network of references and the interconnected community of artists and subjects that Sepuya has interwoven throughout the images. The excavation and mapping of intellectual and artistic data points across the artist's work is presented through three distinct "voices," allowing for a cross-referencing of conceptual categories"--

The first monograph by the New Black Vanguard's Arielle Bobb-Willis is a vivid statement about color, gesture, and style.Keep the Kid Alive, Arielle Bobb-Willis's first book, invites audiences into a brightly imaginative world, filled with dynamic colors, gestures, and unusual poses of the artist's own creation. Transforming the streets of New Orleans, New York, and Los Angeles into lush backdrops for her wonderfully surreal tableaus, Bobb-Willis makes unforgettable images that expand the genres of fashion and art photography. "I love the idea of seeing Black people represented in an abstract way," Bobb-Willis says. "It's important to me to continue to reject the notion that Black expression is limited--or limiting." With a conversation between Bobb-Willis and a dynamic range of artists, stylists, and creatives who speak about keeping their "inner kid" alive, this book captures a definitive young artist's unconventional worldbuilding.

A celebrated return of Robert Frank's seminal photobook The Americans to Aperture's catalog--one of the most important bodies of photographic work ever made.In the nearly seven decades since its publication in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans has become one of the most influential and enduring works of American photography. Through eighty-three photographs taken across the country, Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledged--confronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality, corruption, injustice, and the stark reality of the American dream. Frank's point of view--at once startling and tenacious--is imbued with humanity and lyricism, painting a poignant and incomparable portrait of the nation at a turning point in history.This edition of The Americans is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Aperture's catalog, more than a half-century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968. Presented on the centennial of Frank's birth and coinciding with a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production. Frank's exacting vision, distinct style, and poetic insight changed the course of twentieth-century photography, and influenced subsequent generations of photographers, including Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Joel Meyerowitz, Ed Ruscha, and Garry Winogrand. Now extolled as one of the most groundbreaking photobooks of all time, The Americans remains as powerful and provocative as it was upon publication and continues to resonate with audiences today.

The first amateur motion picture camera was massively produced in 1923, shortly after the introduction of 9,5 mm film by the Pathé Frères in France 101 years ago, in December 1922, and of 16 mm film by the Eastman Kodak Company in America a month later. The present collection depicts 101 movie cameras manufactured between the 1920s and the 1980s, most using 8 mm perforated celluloid film. A full-page 'portrait' of each model is accompanied by an exposé of its main technical specifications on the facing page. The guided tour leafs through a range of makes and companies from an era when novelty, aesthetics, industrial design, and competition for the commercial home market propelled the creation of sculptures out of metal and glass for the wide use by individuals and families who aspired to preserve their visual impressions in motion. The book is a useful source for hobbyists and collectors.

From the authors of Beauty in Decay: Photos from Chernobyl comes another photo book, this time set in the wilderness of South Africa.Included within are stunning vistas, radiant sunsets, wild animals, curious birds, strange bugs and colorful plants, as well as a few signs of civilization here and there, along with various interesting facts.Although South Africa can be breathtakingly beautiful, it can also be quite brutal, as is illustrated by the inclusion of a few more morbid subjects that the authors came across on their journey.

This Book is the first volume of the series "The Alethiology Proper".The Alethiology Proper is a new and independent discipline of Study (Science) which is a pure logical study of the nature of Reality and Truth.Etymologically "The Alethiology Proper" is defined as the "the Science of Truth Proper". In this study, Reality and Truth are taken as dual realities of the Same. Therefore, "The Alethiology Proper" can also be defined as "the Science of Reality Proper".This Study of Alethiology Proper has its unique methodology of study which has enabled to explore the ultimate answers of the Universe. Through this Study we can explore the Beginning and End of the Universe with absolute certainty. This Study has access even to Nothing and shows with absolute certainty what Nothing is and how Something came out of Nothing.Until now there were many unanswered questions about the Origin of Universe, Existence of God, Origin of Life etc. There are many conflicting theories, ideas, philosophies regarding the Truth of Everything due to the absence of Certainty of the Truth. This Study answers the questions of Origin of Universe, God, Life, Reality and Truth with absolute certainty.This study has bridged the two extremes (though in actuality are not) of Reality, namely Science and Religion, Physical and Spiritual, Seen and Unseen. Therefore, both realities can now be scientifically studied and confirmed with absolute certainty. This Study has independently explored the Reality and have come up with the answer that there is indeed God, a Triune Eternal Living Being.Before I say anything further, I would like to give assurance that this study is purely scientific which is purely objective in nature, therefore, all the ideas of this book could be experimentally verified with absolute certainty. This is not a mere philosophical book filled with subjective opinions or interpretations, but this is a purely objective and scientific study. If the ideas of this book are not equivalent in certainty as the Truth 2+2=4 is, then it may be considered as a fictional work.

Previously dependent on Europe for scientific knowledge, the United States came into its own during the nineteenth century. A prime example of this is evident in the establishment of the Cincinnati Observatory, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Funded by the citizenry of that city, it was initiated, with ceremony, by the oration by former President John Quincy Adams, at the laying of the cornerstone in 1843.In this book, you will read about the Cincinnati Observatory's most notable contributions, big and small, that were made over the course of its years in existence. You will learn about the Observatory's role in primitive weather forecasting, star cataloging, and even advancements it helped to create during World War II. Now known as the Cincinnati Observatory Center, it is a functional observatory and a dedicated center of astronomy education for all ages. It continues to contribute a rich cultural and scientific history to its community and nation.

For more than 80 years, Glamour has been the preeminent women's empowerment brand in America. But until now, no one has told the extraordinary story of its origins and the famous names who helped shape the magazine into the global powerhouse it is today, and Glamour's many historic firsts. Glamour was the first American fashion magazine to feature a Black cover star, the first to present Gloria Steinem's writing, and the first to feature groundbreaking reporting on reproductive rights

Dieses Buch untersucht das Phänomen der gesellschaftlichen Angst und die hierauf ausgerichtete Angstpolitik. Die Angst in der Gesellschaft wird von vielen sozialwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen angeführt, bleibt aber theoretisch und vor allem analytisch auffällig unbestimmt. Dies gilt ebenso für gesellschaftliche Diskurse: Ob nun alltägliche Unsicherheiten oder die Furcht, Sorge oder Angst gemeint sind, bleibt entweder unklar oder die Begriffe werden synonym verwendet. Das Buch setzt sich deshalb zum Ziel, verschiedene Formen der Unsicherheit in der Gesellschaft deutlicher zu bezeichnen, um soziale und politische Bedingungen und Folgen von Angst genauer fassen zu können. Die Beiträge der Autor*innen reflektieren aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen (Geschichtswissenschaft, Philosophie, Politikwissenschaft, Soziologie) und über verschiedene Anwendungsgebiete der Sicherheitspolitik das Angstphänomen. Das Buch richtet sich an Forscher*innen, die das Phänomen der gesellschaftlichen Angst theoretisch, analytisch und empirisch untersuchen möchten.

Las obras filosóficas de Lucio Anneo Séneca (ca. 4 a.C.-65 d.C.) han ejercido un duradero influjo sobre la cultura occidental y contienen una formulación significativa de las ideas del estoicismo maduro."De la brevedad de la vida", dedicado a Paulino -quien probablemente era padre de su segunda mujer-, fue compuesto en el año 49 o 50. En él, Séneca afirma que la vida, aunque lo pueda parecer, no es breve, sino que es el individuo quien hace que así lo sea.El tema principal de este ensayo es la vida y como los mortales nos dedicamos a vivir la misma. El autor enfatiza que nuestra vida sería más duradera si no dedicáramos tanto tiempo a asuntos vanos e inútiles. Su propósito es crear conciencia para que nuestras vidas tomen la perspectiva de vivir al máximo; y no se nos haga tarde cuando, queramos dar marcha atrás al momento de la muerte.

The author offers an introduction to the multiverse hypothesis and the current theories attempting to challenge it. This serves as the foundation for addressing the question posed in the title, "Is There a Replica of Me in an Alternate Universe?". Additionally, the author presents a fresh hypothesis, grounded in established and verified quantum theory, with the aim of disproving the notion that an identical version of ourselves exists in an alternate universe.

"The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings" is a significant work authored by John Abercrombie, a Scottish physician and philosopher who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. Published in 1833, this book delves into the realm of ethics and moral philosophy, exploring the nature and origins of human moral sentiments.Abercrombie's central thesis revolves around the idea that moral feelings, such as sympathy, benevolence, and conscience, are inherent to human nature. He argues that these moral sentiments are not arbitrary or solely culturally determined but are instead grounded in the fundamental aspects of human psychology and social interactions.Drawing from various philosophical traditions, including Scottish Enlightenment philosophy and British empiricism, Abercrombie provides a comprehensive analysis of moral phenomena. He examines the role of reason, sentiment, and social influences in shaping moral judgments and behavior.One of the key themes of the book is the relationship between moral feelings and the pursuit of happiness. Abercrombie contends that moral conduct is not only conducive to individual well-being but also essential for the harmony and stability of society as a whole."The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings" is characterized by its rigorous examination of human nature and morality, offering insights into the psychological and philosophical underpinnings of ethical behavior. It remains a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars interested in understanding the complexities of human morality.
