Описание: Separating hype from fact, this text investigates the fate of embodiment in an information age. It relates three issues: information as an entity separate from the material forms that carry it; the construction of the Cyborg; and the dismantling of the humanist "subject" in cybernetic discourse.
Hayles’s point is that the almost simultaneous appearance of interest in complex systems across many disciplines?physics, mathematics, biology, information theory, literature, literary theory?signals a profound paradigm and epistemological shift. She calls the new paradigm ‘orderly disorder.’ This is a timely, informative, and enormously thought-provoking book. — Nancy Craig Simmons ? American Literature
N. Katherine Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the science of chaos. She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder but as a locus of maximum information and complexity. She examines structures and themes of disorder in The Education of Henry Adams, Doris Lessing’s Golden Notebook, and works by Stanislaw Lem. Hayles shows how the writings of poststructuralist theorists including Barthes, Lyotard, Derrida, Serres, and de Man incorporate central features of chaos theory.

Описание: As a young child Chantell Leonie Hayles displayed the negative effects of growing up without a father - low self-esteem, insecurities, feelings of rejection, and worthlessness emotions. This led her in living a very promiscuous lifestyle as she searched for her father in men in the Gentlemen's night club world of lap-dancing; all the time continuing to search and find personal self-worth. Her worth was eventually found in the LORD Jesus Christ, when aged 23 years old Chantell walked out of a Spearmint Rhino Club, and straight into a church. ""BEAUTY for ASHES,"" records and tells Chantell's remarkable poignant yet powerful life-changing story in her own truthful words of finding her true purpose, unconditional love, acceptance, hope & contentment in God. This book discusses how her faith in God brought her through the difficult times and experiences of physical abuse, mental health issues, shame and rejection. Her story is one of finding 'Purpose in the pain '

Описание:
Evvy Hoffmeister is thirteen years old when her family brings her to Loon Lake Sanatorium to get cured of tuberculosis (TB). Evvy is frightened by her new surroundings; the rules to abide are harsh and the nurses equally rigid. But Evvy soon falls into step with the other girls in her ward. There's Sarah, quiet but thoughtful; Pearl, who adores Hollywood glamour; and Dina, whose harshness conceals a deep strength. Together, the girls brave the difficult daily routines. Set in 1940 at a time of political unrest throughout the U.S. and Europe, this thought-provoking novel sheds light on a much-feared worldwide illness. Hundreds of thousands of people died each year of TB, and many ill children were sent away to sanatoriums to hopefully recover.
Marsha Hayles' "Breathing Room "is a masterful novel both eloquent and moving that gives voice to those who fought hard to overcome the illness."
