The American Heritage Journal of Creativity (AHJC) is a biannual journal of research from American Heritage University of Southern California located in the San Bernardino County in California, USA. It is published twice in a year. It accepts creativity as going beyond the possession and use of artistic, musical or writing talent, but permeating throughout the curriculum, in science, social studies and other areas. Research works conducted in the academia without restriction to subject are invited. The objectives of AHJC are to disseminate internationally pragmatic academic research solutions in diverse disciplines that are functionally creative and relevant to community and universal issues. Essentially, the crucial requirement is that it has to be a research paper with empirical findings. AHJC provides a multidisciplinary forum for the publication of original research and technical papers, short communications, state-of-the-art developments in the liberal arts and sciences. Aside from articles, we also encourage prospective authors to submit book reviews, notes, short commentaries and full page relevant advertisements.

Various forms of control play a central role in our lives. However, the nature of control is a difficult conundrum to probe. Believing we "control" ourselves, nature or others may seem like a sign of autonomy, power and self-determination, but it is often an illusion and not always desirable. Art practices help us make sense of the questions and paradoxes related to the enhancing interplay between control and non-control by putting them on display. What happens if this interplay between the two poles collapses? What are the consequences for our forms of life?

This comprehensive volume gives a balanced and systematic treatment of both the interpretation and the mathematical-conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. It is written in a pedagogical style and addresses many thorny problems of fundamental physics. The first aspect concerns Interpretation. The author raises the central problems: formalism, measurement, non-locality, and causality. The main positions on these subjects are presented and critically analysed. The aim is to show that the main schools can converge on a core interpretation. The second aspect concerns Foundations. Here it is shown that the whole theory can be grounded on information theory. The distinction between information and signal leads us to integrating quantum mechanics and relativity. Category theory is presented and its significance for quantum information shown; the logic and epistemological bases of the theory are assessed. Of relevance to all physicists and philosophers with an interest in quantum theory and its foundations, this book is destined to become a classic work.

Volume XXIV of the distinguished annual Studies in Contemporary Jewry explores relations between Jews and Protestants in modern times. Far from monolithic, Protestantism has innumerable groupings within it, from the loosely organized Religious Society of Friends to the conservative Evangelicals of the Bible Belt, all of which hold a range of views on theology, social problems, and politics. These views are played out in differing attitudes and relationships between Protestant churches and Jews, Judaism, and the state of Israel. In this volume, established scholars from a variety of disciplines investigate the "Protestant-Jewish conundrum." They provide analysis of the historical framework in which Protestant ideas toward Jews and Judaism were formed from the 16th century onward. Contributors also delve into diverse topics ranging from the attitudes of the Evangelical movement toward Jews and Israel, to Protestant reactions to Mel Gibson's blockbuster film, "The Passion of the Christ." They also address German Protestant behavior during and after the Nazi era and mainstream Protestant attitudes toward the Israeli-Arab conflict. Taken as a whole, this compendium presents discussions and questions central to the ongoing development of Jewish-Protestant relations.

Claims of the miraculous are foundational to faith and skepticism, making and breaking religious careers and movements in their wake. Drawing on a variety of South Asian religious traditions-Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity-this book revolves around the theme of conundrum, demonstrating how miracles offer divine proof, tenacious embarrassment, and, in many cases, both. The contributors explore not only how modern miracles are conundrums themselves but also how they make conundrums out of assumed divides between scientific and supernatural realms, modernity and tradition, the West and the rest, and ethnographer and native.

Big Bang The modern science of Cosmology has given us a model of the physical creation we know as the Universe. They call it the Cosmos. They say, and I agree, that Something, infinitely dense exploded around 13-14 billion years ago. They call it the Big Bang. They know nothing of that Something that exploded; nor can they ever know with their minds in the physical realm with its physical laws and math. In fact, they are a bit frustrated and embarrassed . . . so they call this enigma a Singularity. The author has solved this Singularity in his first book: Mystery of Being Black Holes and the Big Crunch This book is a sequel to the first. Another Singularity has really stumped and depressed them: Black Holes. In the center of every galaxy is an infinitely dense, mysterious Black Hole with an infinitely powerful gravity field. They do not give out any radiation; so they are invisible to the eye and to all modern instruments. Their most threatening feature is their devouring gravity field. Einsteins equations of his general theory of relativity predict that these Black Holes will eventually swallow up ALL the physical universe then collapse into each other and form the Big Crunch. Cosmologists sadly agree with Einstein. The destruction of the physical realm is inevitable. I sense a deep depression when I observe, study the brilliant minds since Einstein to today. I sense empty hopeless hearts. The men I studied are all atheists. They are mired in the physical realm. The author introduces the Supernatural Realm, with Superior Dimensions and a Superior Spectrum. The physical realm will be redeemed along with the souls who accept Gods Love! The author redefines gravity; also introduces a new Theory of SUPERNATURAL Relativity
