True to Experience

True to Experience

True to Experience is a new anthology drawn from Williams’ many profound and thought-provoking writings including much previously unavailable material. True to Experience, like Williams himself, is unorthodox by the tenets of contemporary Christianity, but encompasses the uncertainties and fears, the joys and sorrows common to us all. It expounds a God-given universal humanity to which both Christians and non-Christians can respond.

States of Consciousness

States of Consciousness

In this accessible overview of current knowledge, an expert team of editors and authors describe experimental approaches to consciousness. These approaches are shedding light on some of the hitherto unknown aspects of the distinct states of human consciousness, including the waking state, different states of sleep and dreaming, meditation and more. The book presents the latest research studies by the contributing authors, whose specialities span neuroscience, neurology, biomedical engineering, clinical psychology and psychophysiology, psychosocial medicine and anthropology. Overall this anthology provides the reader with a clear picture of how different states of consciousness can be defined, experimentally measured and analysed. A future byproduct of this knowledge may be anticipated in the development of systematic corrective treatments for many disorders and pathological problems of consciousness.

Here are the words of the wise, the witty, the nonchalant, the devil-may-care: the poets and the prodigals.’ From the Editor’s Foreword

Big Data Now: 2012 Edition

Big Data Now: 2012 Edition

The Big Data Now anthology is relevant to anyone who creates, collects or relies upon data. It’s not just a technical book or just a , guide. Data is ubiquitous and it doesn’t pay much attention to borders, so we’ve calibrated our coverage to follow it wherever it goes.,

In the first edition of Big Data Now, the O’Reilly team tracked the birth and early development of data tools and data science. Now, with this second edition, we’re seeing what happens when big data grows up: how it’s being applied, where it’s playing a role, and the consequences – good and bad alike – of data’s ascendance.
