Feminist Technology | Illinois Press Blog
During the fall 2010 semester, students in my graduate course on Gender, Science, Technology, and Medicine read Feminist Technology.

The 25 Biggest Mysteries of History
Although they say curiosity has the power to somehow kill your cat, it seems that humans are immune. We would however, suggest putting Pooky away (just in case) because we are about to unleash the biggest mysteries known to man. Although some of these mysteries are only on the list as a result of their infamy, some are genuinely baffling, and if you manage to solve any of them leave a comment below so that we can cross them off. <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-310" title="roanoke" src="http://cdn.list25.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/roanoke.gif" alt="roanoke" width="610" height="338" /> In 1587 121 colonists led by John White arrived on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina to establish a colony.

The Nature of Reality
First published Tue May 15, 2007 Many major historical figures in philosophy have provided an answer to the question of what, if anything, makes life meaningful, although they typically have not put it in these terms. Consider, for instance, Aristotle on the human function, Aquinas on the beatific vision, and Kant on the highest good. While these concepts have some bearing on happiness and morality, they are straightforwardly construed as accounts of which final ends a person ought to realize in order to have a significant existence.
The Meaning of Life
By Dan Eden, viewzone UNDERSTANDING THE TIMEWAVE THEORY, put forth by Terence McKenna, is complicated by the fact that he is dead, and that much of what he learned about the theory is alleged to have come to him during shamanic visionary states while he was living in the Amazon jungle.

Introduction or How This Book Works or The 109th Bead When you're traveling in India--especially through holy sites and Ashrams--you see a lot of people wearing beads around their necks.
