In 1992 the Slovene artistic collective Neue Slowenische Kunst established what it called the NSK State in Time: a non-territorial artistic state which now has thousands of citizens around the world.In October 2010 a unique artistic, social and political experiment took place in Berlin's House of World Cultures (HKW). Thirty-two citizens of the NSK State in Time were invited to discuss the future of “The First Global State of the Universe.” The project was an initiative of the NSK fine arts group IRWIN working in collaboration with cultural theorist Alexei Monroe, designer and creator of nskstate.com, Haris Hararis and Berlin's bka The NSK State has been built from a wide range of divergent symbolism from across the cultural and political spectrum and its citizens come from divergent and even contradictory contexts and positions. No-one was sure what would or could happen when the citizens came together in order to try and identify common positions and potentials. State of Emergence explores what did happen, what could have happened and what may happen following the Congress. The book will include a range of eye-witness accounts from delegates, facilitators, observers and others, giving multiple perspectives on the events. In addition, there are essays on the Congress and the NSK State from a range of theorists including Eda Cufer, Regina Roemhild, Yannis Stavrakakis and Kostis Stafylakis). It will include images from the Congress as well as the accompanying NSK Folk Art and Congress Poster Competition exhibition and will also include documentation of the first post-Congress citizen-organised events. As is the case with many of NSK's works, the true meanings and significances of the Congress may not be clear for some time but State of Emergence will analyse and contribute to the interpretation and decoding of an event whose implications touch on the key artistic, political and social dilemmas of our time.

The Empire of Twelve is locked in a civil war. Xaosian armies invade the planet Raan, destroying much of the capital as the military, led by General Trexor, try in vain to defend the city of Tapal. Soon after, the Xaosians make a power-play against the Empire which will see the Twelve thrown into chaos. The planet Narcsia is dying. Storms and quakes claim the planet, threatening to wipe out all life on it. The only hope for the residents is Evacuation Day, but Xaosian forces are closing in on the doomed world. But none of this matters in the grand scheme of things; something deadly has emerged from the Empire's dark and deadly past, and it wants revenge against those who damned its kind. But when history is written by the victors, who knows who this being's target will be? The Empire was founded on dark secrets... and all are about to be brought to light. [more]

Wildflowers are resilient. In this political satire the author imagines what might happen to the nations of the UK in the turmoil of 2016/17 following the Brexit vote. The United Kingdom: is just that, a unity of four nations, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Southern Ireland left in 1921 and gained its independence, renamed as Eire. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have devolved parliaments. In 2016 it appeared the UK had voted to leave the EU but when the vote is broken down regionally, Scotland voted stay in the EU, Northern Ireland voted to stay in the EU but Wales voted to leave. Scotland has threatened a second independence vote, to allow it to remain in the EU. [more]

The "Standard Models" out of date and inconsistent, and string/brane models still "beyond" them - long since they reached their ends. A New Physics must come. Marrying Planck's quantum theory with Einstein's General Relativity, the author is presenting a consistent Quantum Gravity. Its extension to a "Grand Unification" of all forces of nature emerges as a quantum field theory in a fully quantized, "background-independent", bent space-time. Dark Energy, Dark Matter, hadron and lepton flavours, the details of Einstein's cosmological constant, and much more is dropping out by the way. The quark confinement, the physics before the Big Bang, and a lot of old problems of fundamental physics are dissolving to nothing, explaining themselves as self-evident properties of nature. Future starts to-day. Come along on the journey! Main target groups: Students, physicists, mathematicians, but also people interested in philosophy or with an inclination to leave the beaten dead-end tracks of actual fundamental theories of the old style in favour of more promising, novel ways out.

Apply yesterday's variation principle to Gell-Mann's quarks, pepper it with the inconsistencies of unfounded ad-hoc tactics - and there you are with grandpa's classical "Standard" model having no strategy, no future, topped only by "string" fantasies "beyond" physics, with all the great questions left open. By marrying Planck's quanta with Einstein's General Relativity, the author is presenting the unified top-down model of a consistent "New Physics" (Quantum Gravity, including the Grand Unification) free of singularities and in accord with experiment. Space-time is bent, fully quantized and "background-independent". Old problems of fundamental physics emerge as self-explaining: 4-dimensionality, the quark confinement, flavours, cosmic inflation, the arrow of time, the physics of Black Holes with their event horizons, the origins of (ordinary and dark) matter, and much more is dropping out as self-evident properties of nature. Future starts to-day. Come along on the journey! The amazing success of "New Physics"/"Neue Physik" (with almost 10.000 copies sold in a single year) gave rise to this extended, 2nd edition renamed "Flow of Time". Main target groups: Students, physicists, mathematicians, but also people interested in philosophy or with an inclination to leave the beaten dead-end tracks of actual fundamental models of the old style in favour of more promising, novel ways.

"There Is But One Key To The Present," Says Max Müller, "And That Is The Past." To Understand Fully The Growth And Historical Development Of A People's Mind, One Must Be Familiar With The Conditions That Have Shaped Its Present Form. It Would Seem Necessary, Therefore, To Introduce A Description Of The Haskalah Movement With A Rapid Survey Of The History Of The Russo-Polish Jews From The Time Of Their Emergence From Obscurity Up To The Middle Of The Seventeenth Century.
