Carl D. Schultz, who served in the U.S. Army, shares a moving collection of autobiographical stories and poetry inspired and strongly colored by the traumatic brain injury he suffered while in West Germany in 1987 in My Mind Me. His poetic, visceral voice is vivid and compelling, and the stories he shares are deeply intimate and evocative. He wrote this book partly as an exercise to understand his past after waking up from a six-month coma. In the process, however, he discovered that his life is not as tragic as it is confused. While he has little recollection of the two years before and twelve months after the horrific event, those three years that included graduating from college, jumping from airplanes, and sitting under the Eiffel Tower have no doubt played a critical role in making him the man he is today. Join Schultz as he sorts through confused memories to share an inspiring story of survival, grit, and courage.
In Summa is only an attempt to show what is otherwise normally unresolved. This is also the attempt to show that a brain-injured poet is capable to express with such a disability, which is one of the ultimate problems. As always, it is a good method to express vagaries and morbid facts, especially with speech problems that are present, which make an uninjured listener discount or question validity. In no sense does this poetry include the entire spectrum of this injury. It would take volumes to detail the feelings of my injury alone, if I had the means to attempt such a feat.
Broke Brain" is brief travel through a traumatic brain injury by a survivor of one. Personally it’s feels good to finally dig-up a memory’s existence. These memories that relate to each other in time-line or setting gradually open avenues to this injury’s inception. The sensations that most enjoy with its myriad of pleasant feelings wake to roll over but the back of my head’s grabbed and forced down into mushy and bloody gray that forces a scream then coma at the outset. A high note with nervous tones squeals in total servility and rapidly moves with a grinding scream to claw down a blackboard. That signals an injury from the brain where all physical pain can be blocked by the injury itself but mental pain emanates oh so freely. Along with a need-to-know for all, this entire book is a preface of sorts for survivors, care-givers and perhaps professionals as well to show a brain injury and some of its effects. It should be realized that brains are like fingerprints in that they’re different from each other. That fact is shown in that my parents were told that I wouldn’t wake-up and then I wouldn’t wake-up and then I wouldn’t make change for a dollar. Perceptions perceptions. That was about 10 years before a defunct attempt at grad school. Much healthy life underwent prologs my injury. That’s how life consuming and life-altering a traumatic brain injury is.
Existence as such cannot be controlledit can only be observed. And in a sense, reality is not in fact physical, but figural. Yet despite these truths about the elusive nature of reality, a concrete definition of these concepts may provide a way to grasp a wider understanding of our being. For while intangible realities like our thoughts and our imaginations can be considered by skeptics as merely hallucinations or immaterial, in a real sense it is also true that they are rooted in the brain and are thus intermittently physical as well; therefore, given this possibility, even our dreams may become reality. Surreality explores these questions and more through the autobiographical history of an author confronted at once with the challenges of life and the realities of distant memories. Teetering on the boundaries of language and a play on the sometimes surreal landscape of existence that is nevertheless based sur la ralit, or on reality, it likewise offers a window into a mind where the physical and the figurativethe brain and the imagination, consciousness, and memoryconstantly enmesh and decouple to create a perplexing reality. The mind and brain are complex and intricately related, and together they form a reality whose contours can only be traced by our own perceptions. Bending our understanding of memory, perception, and language can open up a space to envision the possibilitythe realityof our imaginations.

Fundamentals of Photonics A complete, thoroughly updated, full-color third edition Fundamentals of Photonics, Third Edition is a self-contained and up-to-date introductory-level textbook that thoroughly surveys this rapidly expanding area of engineering and applied physics. Featuring a blend of theory and applications, coverage includes detailed accounts of the primary theories of light, including ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics, as well as the interaction of light and matter. Presented at increasing levels of complexity, preliminary sections build toward more advanced topics, such as Fourier optics and holography, photonic-crystal optics, guided-wave and fiber optics, LEDs and lasers, acousto-optic and electro-optic devices, nonlinear optical devices, ultrafast optics, optical interconnects and switches, and optical fiber communications. The third edition features an entirely new chapter on the optics of metals and plasmonic devices. Each chapter contains highlighted equations, exercises, problems, summaries, and selected reading lists. Examples of real systems are included to emphasize the concepts governing applications of current interest. Each of the twenty-four chapters of the second edition has been thoroughly updated.
Common Worlds: Paths Toward Sustainable Urbanism explores expert and lay approaches to sustainable urbanism, focusing on the politics and civic aesthetics of space and place; project-based learning and it consequences for the life chances of youth; and the prospect of intergenerational civic engagement. Extended case studies of sustainable urbanism describe areas undergoing demographic and socioeconomic change over the two decades since the end of the Cold War. The case studies, based upon participatory action research, are framed through the lens of transformational anthropology, which focuses on the structural factors and power relationships that contribute to social and economic disparities within a population. This approach is based upon principles of personal and group transformation, and it holds researchers responsible for collaborating with communities and groups in co-constructing research, thereby enhancing the constituents’ ability to carry out subsequent transformational change studies rooted in and shaped by the local community. Each case also focuses on a movement in support of aesthetic improvement, including preservation, conservation, and restoration efforts on behalf of parkland, open space, agricultural land, and marine wetlands in the face of external threats to their sustainability.
