Mythology, Madness, and Laughter: Subjectivity in German Idealism

Ebook Download | Mythology, Madness, and Laughter: Subjectivity in German Idealism | Zizek's essays are brilliant, but he certainly does not work very hard to present his insights to analytic philosophers as Gabriel does--I suspect his reference to Fichte's laughter at Verstand philosophers is probably an echo of his own. However, anyone who thinks Zizek is just some hack who grew so popular because he is so perverse would do well...

Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy

Ebook Download | Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy | This is the best 'network theory' book I've read. The book is a collection, and the 'field work' is more enthusiastic than thought provoking. Binding together the fieldwork, at front and back, is the analysis of Arquilla and Ronfeldt. Though only 20% of the text, their comments make the reading exceptionally rewarding. The deep dynamic guiding Arquilla...

Web Design for Teens

The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms,Part 1

Ebook Download | The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1 | Knuth has written many books considered classics. Some of the previous works have been set-up for where the real fun is - Combinatorics. In one of my own columns, I say "Never trust the brute-force power of a computer network to do the job of a combinatorialist." In 1967, John P. Robinson and Arthur J. Bernstein published an optimal Golomb...
