Book excerpt: Fans of the hit TV show Heroes will love Quantum Prophecy! Ten years ago, all the superhumans vanished. No one knows what happened to them--until now. Thirteen-year-olds Danny and Colin are shocked to discover that they are in fact the beginning of a renewed superhuman race. As they rise to take the place of the lost generation, the unimaginable truth behind the explosive final battle that occurred ten years ago between the superheroes and the supervillains is exposed. And when the past resurfaces, Danny and his fellow superheroes must face the new challenges that threaten their survival. On the run from everyone, and not knowing who is friend or foe, the one ability the new heroes are going to need most is the power to distinguish good from evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concepts of Post/Humanism and Transhumanism as depicted in superhero comics. Recent decades have seen mainstream audiences embrace the comic book Superhuman. Meanwhile there has been increasing concern surrounding human enhancement technologies, with the techno-scientific movement of Transhumanism arguing that it is time humans took active control of their evolution. Utilising Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of the rhizome as a non-hierarchical system of knowledge to conceptualize the superhero narrative in terms of its political, social and aesthetic relations to the history of human technological enhancement, this book draws upon a diverse range of texts to explore the way in which the posthuman has been represented in superhero comics, while simultaneously highlighting its shared historical development with Post/Humanist critical theory and the material techno-scientific practices of Transhumanism.

Book excerpt: The revolutionary bulletproof plan to age backward and maybe even live forever. People have been searching for a secret to stop aging for centuries. From looking for the fountain youth to modern society’s implementation of creams, serums, and injections, Western society is obsessed with not only looking young but feeling young as well. Most people accept the aging process and assume they’ll live long lives until they succumb to one of the four major killers: cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, or diabetes. But what if those diseases could be a thing of the past? Dave Asprey believes they can be. Through proper diet, exercise, and special treatments and supplements, you can fight the signs of aging and even begin aging backward.

Book excerpt: Superhuman YOU: Break The Chains of Limitations and Unleash Your Own Superpower! Why do we have such a fascination with super heroes? It is because we see the best qualities of ourselves in them. They are exaggerated version of what we all aspire to be. I grew up wanting to be a super hero, or more specifically, wanting to have superhuman strength. It may sound like a bold claim, but I achieved that desire. As a professional strongman, I bend steel bars with my hands. I am convinced that every single one of us on planet Earth has the ability to become super human. We each have at least one unique super power, a life's purpose. I have found that the principles of achieving this are the same, regardless of the goal. This book will show you how to discover and develop YOUR Super Power and how to use that power live a success-filled and happy life.

Book excerpt: Did you know your brain has superpowers? Berit Brogaard, PhD, and Kristian Marlow, MA, study people with astonishing talents—memory champions, human echolocators, musical virtuosos, math geniuses, and synesthetes who taste colors and hear faces. But as amazing as these abilities are, they are not mysterious. Our brains constantly process a huge amount of information below our awareness, and what these gifted individuals have in common is that through practice, injury, an innate brain disorder, or even more unusual circumstances, they have managed to gain a degree of conscious access to this potent processing power. The Superhuman Mind takes us inside the lives and brains of geniuses, savants, virtuosos, and a wide variety of ordinary people who have acquired truly extraordinary talents, one way or another. Delving into the neurological underpinnings of these abilities, the authors even reveal how we can acquire some of them ourselves—from perfect pitch and lightning fast math skills to supercharged creativity. The Superhuman Mind is a book full of the fascinating science readers look for from the likes of Oliver Sacks, combined with the exhilarating promise of Moonwalking with Einstein.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear has picked up uncontrollable speed in our world today. Skyrocketing unemployment rates, the threat of a worldwide economic collapse, global warming, civil unrest, terrorism, and what the end of the Mayan calendar might bring in 2012 have put the prospects of a better life on hold for many throughout the world. Trips have been canceled, weddings postponed; fulfilling jobs aligned with our skills and passion are not pursued for security reasons. Is fear destined to win? The Super Human Effect is an exploration of the moment when our lifes purpose is revealed and the actions that stem from this inspired epiphany. As we strip away disempowering beliefs, painful references, and a strong identification with our limiting sense of self, we allow for our authentic nature to be re-ignited and inspired action to be released. Along with inspiring stories of the moment when everything changed in the lives of influential figures, author Dennis Rodriguez shares in real time his decision-making process to resign a university director position after eight years and during the deepest recession since the Great Depression to follow his spiritual heart and live the life in public he has led in privatea life committed to eradicating fear.

Book excerpt: The Human in Superhuman: The Power of the Sidekick in Popular Culture spotlights the often overlooked but very crucial sidekick in superhero narratives. From the classic companion Alfred Pennyworth to the supportive best friend Foggy Nelson, this collection examines a variety of sidekick characters and their importance to the hero’s journey in each story. Ultimately, rather than viewing the lack of superpowers as a flaw, the essays show that it is precisely human qualities like compassion, empathy, and encourage that enable the sidekicks to help their heroes grow. Chapters include discussions of Spider-Man, Daredevil, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, and more.
