 Sleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological, and Medical Perspectives by Brian A. Sharpless, Karl Doghramji English | July 22, 2015 | ISBN: 0199313806 | EPUB | 304 pages | 6.9 MB Humans throughout history have described a peculiar state between wakefulness and sleep during which they are consciously aware of their surroundings, but physically paralyzed. Sleep paralysis is also commonly accompanied by high levels of fear, feelings of suffocation, and hallucinations (i.e., waking dreams). Early interpretations of this event were that it was an actual attack by malevolent and supernatural entities such as demons, ghosts, or witches. Some of these beliefs persist to the present day in the form of nocturnal visitations by extraterrestrials and shadow people.

Fabozzi 2004 | 435 Pages | ISBN: 0471660205 | PDF | 6 MB This is an insightful book that makes a great case for the importance and need for short selling. It chornicles the bias toward optimism in the marketplace and this is especially relevant after we have had two bubbles burst in the last 10 years associated with excessive optimism. This is a nice compliment to the work that has been done in regard to capital market efficiency, etc. I recommend this to intermediate to advanced financial-minded people who want a different perspective on pricing and investor motivation. John W. Taylor, Tiarta, LLC  David Prerau, "Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time" English | 2005 | ISBN: 1560256559 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 13.0 mb Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it, and more recently the United States fought an energy crisis with it. For several months every year, for better or worse, daylight savings time affects vast numbers of people throughout the world. And from Ben Franklin's era to today, its story has been an intriguing and sometimes-bizarre amalgam of colorful personalities and serious technical issues, purported costs and perceived benefits, conflicts between interest groups and government policymakers. It impacts diverse and unexpected areas, including agricultural practices, street crime, the reporting of sports scores, traffic accidents, the inheritance rights of twins, and voter turnout. Illustrated with a popular look at science and history, Seize the Daylight presents an intriguing and surprisingly entertaining story of our attempt to regulate the sunlight hours.

 Risk Analysis: Assessing Uncertainties Beyond Expected Values and Probabilities By Terje Aven 2008 | 195 Pages | ISBN: 0470517360 | PDF | 2 MB I am still recovering.This is a book written for dummies so they realize that they are dummies. I looked for the "for dummies" version of risk analysis,so I can pretend I "understand"risk analysis while talking about the subject and yet could not find anything out there. As matter of fact I had in my library several other books about risk and yet none of them came close to explaining the:.- What is risk analysis.- What is risk?.- Proess of analysis: -Planning -assessing -risk treatmentThese are but the first 5 chapters of the 13 chapter book. The book is well researched, it relates to the research literature in the field of risk. It is divided into 2 parts; The first part is theory and methods, the second part is examples of applications. The book is well written, however it was not written for what I needed it for. I needed to have a simple methodology to map to ITIL V3 risk management practices or Sigma Six risk assessments; I did get there but it was very hard, I had to use 100% of my already depleted brain, it nearly killed me, thanks to the author I knew how to do a "Consequence analysis" and come up with a "Risk picture" and stop reading the parts heavy with Calculus and stuff.So, in conclusion; If you have a "young" brain and auditors are blubbering you about "if this happens than ...." scenarios. I suggest you use this book to gain the upper hand.Best Fishes. |
