Tree of the Night is a self-initiatory guide for those interested in the darker side of the Qabalah. The first issue is dedicated to the first Qlipha: Lilith the Woman of the Night and the first Qliphotic Tunnel: Thantifaxath the Black Kteis.

Free Download Roger Penrose, "Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness"
English | ISBN: 0198539789 | | 480 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
A New York Times bestseller when it appeared in 1989, Roger Penrose’s The Emperor’s New Mind was universally hailed as a marvelous survey of modern physics as well as a brilliant reflection on the human mind, offering a new perspective on the scientific landscape and a visionary glimpse of the possible future of science. Now, in Shadows of the Mind, Penrose offers another exhilarating look at modern science as he mounts an even more powerful attack on artificial intelligence. But perhaps more important, in this volume he points the way to a new science, one that may eventually explain the physical basis of the human mind.

Free Download Jeff Kanipe, "Chasing Hubble’s Shadows: The Search for Galaxies at the Edge of Time"
English | 2007 | pages: 224 | ISBN: 0809034077, 0809034069 | EPUB | 0,7 mb
Chasing Hubble’s Shadows is an account of the continuing efforts of astronomers to probe the outermost limits of the observable universe. The book derives its title from something the great American astronomer Edwin Hubble once wrote: "Eventually, we reach the dim boundary-the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial." The quest for Hubble’s "shadows"-those unimaginably distant, wispy traces of stars and galaxies that formed within the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang-takes us back, in effect, to the beginning of time as we are able to perceive it, when the first discrete stellar objects appeared out of what has lately come to be known as the "cosmic dark age." The information that is being gleaned from these dim sources-chiefly with the aid of Hubble’s namesake, the Hubble Space Telescope-promises to yield clues to many cosmic puzzles, including the nature of the mysterious "dark energy" that is now believed to pervade all of space.

Free Download In the Shadows of Naga Insurgency: Tribes, State, and Violence in Northeast India By Jelle J.P. Wouters
2018 | 356 Pages | ISBN: 0199093261 | PDF | 4 MB
In the Shadows of Naga Insurgency is a fine-grained critique of the Naga struggle for political redemption, the state’s response to it, and the social corollaries and carry-overs of protracted political conflict on everyday life. Offering an ethnographic underview, Jelle Wouters illustrates an ‘insurgency complex’ that reveals how embodied experiences of resistance and state aggression, violence and volatility, and struggle and suffering link together to shape social norms, animate local agitations, and complicate inter-personal and inter-tribal relations in expected and unexpected ways. The book locates the historical experiences and agency of the Naga people and relates these to ordinary villagers’ perceptions, actions, and moral reasoning vis-à-vis both the Naga Movement and the state and its lucrative resources. It thus presses us to rethink our views on tribalism, conflict and ceasefire, development, corruption, and democratic politics.

Free Download Amber Jamilla Musser, "Between Shadows and Noise: Sensation, Situatedness, and the Undisciplined"
English | ISBN: 1478030097 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 19 MB
In Between Shadows and Noise Amber Jamilla Musser theorizes sensation as a Black feminist method for aesthetic interpretation and criticism that uses the knowledges held by the body to access the unrepresentable. Thinking through Blackness, empire, and colonialism, Musser examines artworks ranging from Ming Smith’s Flamingo Fandango, Jordan Peele’s Us, and Katherine Dunham’s Shango to Samita Sinha’s This ember state, Titus Kaphar’s A Pillow for Fragile Fictions, and Teresita Fernández’s Puerto Rico (Burned) 6. She engages with these works from an embodied situatedness to grapple with the questions and sensations of racialization and difference that the works produce. Throughout, Musser rethinks how we consider the relationships between race, representation, and politics by dwelling in those spaces and concepts that elude Western norms of representation, objectivity, and logic. In so doing, she explores ways of being and knowing that exceed overdetermined parameters while offering a blueprint for sensing, imagining, and living otherwise.
