Are there any "laws of nature" that influence the ways in which humans behave and organize themselves? In the seventeenth century, tired of the civil war ravaging England, Thomas Hobbes decided that he would work out what kind of government was needed for a stable society. His approach was based not on utopian wishful thinking but rather on Galileo's mechanics to construct a theory of government from first principles. His solution is unappealing to today's society, yet Hobbes had sparked a new way of thinking about human behavior in looking for the "scientific" rules of society. Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, Auguste Comte, and John Stuart Mill pursued this idea from different political perspectives. Little by little, however, social and political philosophy abandoned a "scientific" approach. Today, physics is enjoying a revival in the social, political and economic sciences. Ball shows how much we can understand of human behavior when we cease to try to predict and analyze the behavior of individuals and instead look to the impact of individual decisions-whether in circumstances of cooperation or conflict-can have on our laws, institutions and customs. Lively and compelling, Critical Mass is the first book to bring these new ideas together and to show how they fit within the broader historical context of a rational search for better ways to live.

A quintessential tool for vocalists seeking to enhance their live performances, the TC Helicon Critical Mass Pedal delivers an innovative and high-quality solution for achieving the elusive gang vocal effect with ease and precision. This durable and user-friendly pedal is expertly designed to simulate the sound of a crowd singing along, creating a powerful chorus effect that can elevate any stage performance.Crafted by the reputable brand TC Helicon, known for its exceptional audio equipment, the Critical Mass Pedal stands out with its versatility and positive user feedback.

These settings provide the flexibility to match the desired vocal arrangement with precision.Beyond gang vocals, the pedal offers four melodic settings that maintain pitch in harmony with the vocalist, without the need for key or scale input. This feature distinguishes the Critical Mass Pedal from other TC Helicon pedals that may require an instrument connection for harmonic guidance. Instead, this pedal focuses on delivering pure unison and octave vocals, free from external harmonic constraints.The Critical Mass Pedal is also equipped with three studio-grade reverb effects, adding depth and ambiance to vocal performances. The inclusion of TC Helicon's adaptive tone technology is a testament to the pedal's sophistication, automatically fine-tuning EQ, compression, de-essing, and gating to ensure a polished and consistent vocal output.For added convenience, the pedal can be powered by four AA batteries or an optional power supply, and it offers phantom power support for microphones that require it.

Kirk McGarvey--one-time CIA assassin--dreams of a peaceful life and marital bliss. One man will change all that. In 1945, Isawa Nakaruma lost his mother and father at Hiroshima, his wife and child at Nagasaki, and has been planning years to wreak his revenge--and he holds Kirk McGarvey personably responsible. His plan begins with the murder of McGarvey's girlfriend and the kidnapping and torturing of McGarvey's ex-wife and daughter. But he won't stop there, not until McGarvey himself is six-feet under and nuclear bombs are detonated over Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Rutgers University from 1958 to 1972 was at the center of many new developments in the art world. Artists connected with Happenings and Fluxus created works that had a major impact in New York and abroad. A dozen years after Allan Kaprow’s first Happening on Rutgers' Douglass campus in 1958, George Maciunas (Mr. Fluxus) created his major late composition, the Flux-Mass, in the same space, and Hermann Nitsch, the Viennese Actionist, presented his controversial Orgies-Mysteries-Theater.  These radical shifts in art paralleled calls to rethink attitudes about race, sex, gender, and war during turbulent times in America’s history.Critical Mass chronicles this ephemeral work on the Rutgers campus and in New York City, and the innovations that grew from Bob Watts, Allan Kaprow, and George Brecht's “Project in Multiple Dimensions.” With texts and performance scores by artists together with numerous photographs of the events and essays by art historians and critics Hannah Higgins, Jill Johnston, Susan Ryan, and Kristine Stiles, Critical Mass presents a vivid picture of this dynamic moment. This volume is a companion to an exhibit that will be on display at the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, from January 24 through April 27, 2003, and at the Mason Gross Art Galleries at Rutgers University from September through November 2003.

Steps leading up to revival in the Church.

On May 19, 1945, eleven days after the surrender of Nazi Germany in Europe, a U-boat was escorted into Portsmouth Naval Yard, New Hampshire. News reporters covering the surrender of U-234 were ordered, contrary to all previous and later U-boat surrender procedures, to keep their distance from crew members and passengers of U-234, on threat of being shot by the attending Marine guards. Why the tight security? Buried in the nose of the specially-built mammoth boat, sealed in cylinders “lined with gold,” was 1,120 pounds of enriched uranium labeled “U235”the fissile material from which atom bombs are made. Critical Mass documents how these Nazi bomb components were then used by the Manhattan Project to complete both the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, to defeat the Japanese and win World War Two and global domination in the modern age.

What Carter Hydrick discovered and has written in Critical Mass provides compelling proof, according to powerful documentary evidence housed in the United States National Archives, of the Nazi surrender of enriched uranium and other atomic bomb components to the United States, which were then used in the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is evidence that profoundly changes the traditional history claiming the United States alone created the first atomic bombs. Read and discover... Why...a quarter of the present and former employees of Oak Ridge National Laboratory who viewed Carter Hydrick’s presentation of Critical Mass purchased the book. Why... retired director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Weapons Program Office, Dr. Delmar Bergen, endorses Critical Mass, saying it "certainly leads the experienced physicist to believe." Why... Texas A&M University professor of World War Two science Dr. Anthony Stranges, who had defended the traditional history of the atomic bomb against Critical Mass in two television news broadcasts, after reviewing Carter Hydrick’s documentation and reading the book, reversed his position and now endorses Critical Mass. Why... distinguished professor emeritus of history Dr. Douglas Tobler recommends that scholars and laymen interested in modern history read Critical Mass, calling it, "well-researched, well-reasoned, well-written." Why...quasi-experts of the traditional history of the Manhattan Project are using poor scholarship and mischaracterization of the evidence presented in Critical Mass, in an effort to conserve the entrenched but incorrect history of the making of the first atomic bombs--and how these events profoundly changed the world in which we live. Read Critical Mass for yourself and decide where the truth lies!

Trenton Doyle Hancock has created a world of characters through drawings, paintings, and installations and this "field guide" immerses readers in his creative process and inspirations.Trenton Doyle Hancock has transformed his childhood love of comic books, toys, and superhero culture into his own creation myth. That mythology and the fascinating, multimedia iterations that it has sparked are told in this captivating and revealing book. Accompanied by images of his paintings, drawings, and installations alongside pictures of his own vast toy and pop culture collections as well as pages from his forthcoming graphic novel, the artist traces the birth of the Mounds and Vegans--the plants and mutants that are forever at war--through which he explores good, evil, authority, race, moral relativism, and religion. Hancock takes readers inside his largest exhibition yet at MASS MoCA--a multi-media work that blends sculpture, painting, and installations to bring the Mounds' world to life. Included in this book are contributions by the exhibition curator Denise Markonish, an art historical essay about Hancock's paintings, and illuminating conversations between Hancock and some of his influences, including Frank Oz. With this book, Hancock merges his personal history with his imagination to create a rich panoply of color, image, and language.Copublished by MASS MoCA and DelMonico Books

It is evident that the Novus Ordo has no intention of presenting the faith as taught by the Council of Trent, to which, nonetheless, the Catholic conscience is bound forever. With the promulgation fo the Novus Ordo, the loyal Catholic is thus faced with a most tragic alternative. This statement, made with absolute and definitive clarity, from Section VI of the Ottaviani Intervention, was made in respnse to what might be considered one fo the most critical moments in the history of the Catholic Church since the original Pentecost Sunday, the traditional worship of the Roman Church was about to be replaced. The issue of the ongoing litugical revolution in the Catholic Church bacame critical on April 28, 1969, weh Paul VI announced the Novus Ordo Missae. It was the last chance for action within the traditional channels of ecclesiastical authority. Somehow the pope had to be dissuaded from implementing this substitute for the traditional Catholic Mass of the Roman Rite. This attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, was done in A Critical Study of the New Order of Mass...or what has become known as the "Ottaviani Intervention." 48 pp, Softcover
