The Superhero Multiverse focuses on the evolving meanings of the superhero icon in 21st-century film and popular media, with an emphasis on re-adapting, re-imagining, and re-making. With its focus on multimedia and transmedia transformations, The Superhero Multiverse pivots on two important points: firstly, it reflects on the core concerns of the superhero narrative—including the relationship between ‘superhero comics’ and ‘superhero films’, the comics roots of superhero media, matters of canon and hybridity, and issues of recycling and stereotyping in superhero films and media texts. Secondly, it considers how these intersecting textual and cultural preoccupations are intrinsic to the process of remaking and re-adapting superheroes, and brings attention to multiple ways of materializing these iconic figures in our contemporary context.

The Emergent Multiverse presents a striking new account of the 'many worlds' approach to quantum theory. The point of science, it is generally accepted, is to tell us how the world works and what it is like. But quantum theory seems to fail to do this: taken literally as a theory of the world, it seems to make crazy claims: particles are in two places at once; cats are alive and dead at the same time. So physicists and philosophers have often been led either to give up on the idea that quantum theory describes reality, or to modify or augment the theory. The Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics takes the apparent craziness seriously, and asks, 'what would it be like if particles really were in two places at once, if cats really were alive and dead at the same time'? The answer, it turns out, is that if the world were like that—if it were as quantum theory claims—it would be a world that, at the macroscopic level, was constantly branching into copies—hence the more sensationalist name for the Everett interpretation, the 'many worlds theory'. But really, the interpretation is not sensationalist at all: it simply takes quantum theory seriously, literally, as a description of the world. Once dismissed as absurd, it is now accepted by many physicists as the best way to make coherent sense of quantum theory. David Wallace offers a clear and up-to-date survey of work on the Everett interpretation in physics and in philosophy of science, and at the same time provides a self-contained and thoroughly modern account of it—an account which is accessible to readers who have previously studied quantum theory at undergraduate level, and which will shape the future direction of research by leading experts in the field.

This book is planned as the first in a series of five that tell the story of our character Gypsy. This book tells the story of Gypsys first ten years on the road......the first 120 pages primarily are set in Israel, Greece and other parts of Europe but after the first 166 pages the story really takes off as he makes his first trip to India then onwards into Australia before going back up into Asia for a journey to Japan, then back to Nepal and India......then we follow Gypsys adventures as he attempts to set himself up as a gem dealer........all the while he is on a spiritual search and this is a theme of the book as he searches for enlightenment and the knowledge of what lies beyond death......in this book a number of religions and spiritual paths are explored by our main character as are a number of different types of drugs. Adventures are had along the way such as gold smuggling, distributing leaflets for a banned organization in China and becoming a senior high school lecturer in Japan with the use of somebody elses papers. I hope that this book will be entertaining for armchair travelers and an inspiration to young would be travelers and adventurers.

In the true story of a psychiatrist who learned to communicate with the Universe, Ionel Rotaru describes a new form of psychoanalysis—the Spiritual Psychoanalysis, which connects science with the Kingdom of Heaven, which demonstrates the ways of manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness of the Universe here on earth in the Material World. The Messages and Secrets of the Universe provides readers with a glimpse into the mysteries of the Universe, and these secrets reveal who we are as humans and our responsibilities on earth. As we trace our spiritual evolution, we discover that we are one with all creatures, and we are all moving toward divinity. Mr. Rotaru’s revelations came through bizarre, mysterious, and frightening situations that sent him a direct message for civilization. As he unfolds these epiphanies for readers, he shares from his own experience of profound loss and grief, and through this unveils the truth of our existence after this life. His messages shed light on all philosophies and religious/spiritual theories known to humanity. A book that will challenge conventional thought about mental health care and the spiritual dimension, The Messages and Secrets of the Universe is a valuable resource for professionals and laypeople alike!
