 Orthodox readings of Augustine By of Hippo Saint Augustine; Demacopoulos, George E.; Augustinus, Augustine; Papanikolaou, Aristotle 2008 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 0881413275 | PDF | 40 MB "This book not only presents Eastern Orthodox readings of the great Latin theologian, but also demonstrates the very nature of theological consensus in ecumenical dialogue, from a referential starting point of the ancient and great Fathers. This collection exemplifies how, once, the Latin and Byzantine churches, from a deep communion of the faith that transcended linguistic, cultural and intellectual differences, sang from the same page a harmonious song of the beauty of Christ."--Jacket.  Organization-Development Interventions; Executing Effective Organizational Change; 1 by Rothwell William J. English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367893975 | 363 pages | True PDF | 6.99 MB  Optically Induced Nanostructures: Biomedical and Technical Applications by Karsten König English | PDF(True) | 2015 | 370 Pages | ISBN : 3110337185 | 18.9 MB Nanostructuring of materials is a task at the heart of many modern disciplines in mechanical engineering, as well as optics, electronics, and the life sciences. This book includes an introduction to the relevant nonlinear optical processes associated with very short laser pulses for the generation of structures far below the classical optical diffraction limit of about 200 nanometers as well as coverage of state-of-the-art technical and biomedical applications.  Notes from a Summer Cottage: The Intimate Life of the Outside World by Nina Burton English | July 8th, 2021 | ISBN: 000846703X | 304 pages | True EPUB | 1.00 MB 'I went for a walk around the garden. A great tit warbled above a patch of coltsfoot. I felt a thousand discoveries awaited...' Notes from a Summer Cottage by Nina Burton is a beautifully written nature memoir about the time spent renovating her late mother's cottage in the Swedish countryside, and all the species that she encountered her during her stay. Did you know that there are more ants altogether than the number of seconds that have passed since the Big Bang? And that in relation to their size, their anthill cities can be larger than London and New York?  Nonlinear Elastic and Inelastic Models for Shock Compression of Crystalline Solids (Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena) by John D. Clayton English | EPUB | 2019 | 483 Pages | ISBN : 3030153290 | 28.6 MB This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically nonlinear continuum mechanics supply these descriptions. Large deformations such as finite strains and rotations, are addressed. The book covers dominant mechanisms of nonlinear thermoelasticity, dislocation plasticity, deformation twinning, fracture, flow, and other structure changes.  Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy By Paul Raimond Daniels 2014 | 257 Pages | ISBN: 1844652432 | PDF | 3 MB [center]  Neuroscience Data in the Cloud : Opportunities and Challenges: Proceedings of a Workshop by The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine  Negative Math: How Mathematical Rules Can Be Positively Bent By Alberto A. Martinez 2005 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0691123098 | PDF | 3 MB A student in class asks the math teacher: "Shouldn't minus times minus make minus?" Teachers soon convince most students that it does not. Yet the innocent question brings with it a germ of mathematical creativity. What happens if we encourage that thought, odd and ungrounded though it may seem?Few books in the field of mathematics encourage such creative thinking. Fewer still are engagingly written and fun to read. This book succeeds on both counts. Alberto Martinez shows us how many of the mathematical concepts that we take for granted were once considered contrived, imaginary, absurd, or just plain wrong. Even today, he writes, not all parts of math correspond to things, relations, or operations that we can actually observe or carry out in everyday life.Negative Math ponders such issues by exploring controversies in the history of numbers, especially the so-called negative and "impossible" numbers. It uses history, puzzles, and lively debates to demonstrate how it is still possible to devise new artificial systems of mathematical rules. In fact, the book contends, departures from traditional rules can even be the basis for new applications. For example, by using an algebra in which minus times minus makes minus, mathematicians can describe curves or trajectories that are not represented by traditional coordinate geometry.Clear and accessible, Negative Math expects from its readers only a passing acquaintance with basic high school algebra. It will prove pleasurable reading not only for those who enjoy popular math, but also for historians, philosophers, and educators.Key Features?Uses history, puzzles, and lively debates to devise new mathematical systemsShows how departures from rules can underlie new practical applicationsClear and accessibleRequires a background only in basic high school algebra  Natural Surfactants: Application in Enhanced Oil Recovery English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030785475 | 51 Pages | PDF | 2 MB This book focuses on the use of natural surfactants in enhanced oil recovery, providing an overview of surfactants, their types, and different physical-chemical properties used to analyse the efficiency of surfactants.  Native Country of the Heart: A Memoir By Cherríe L. Moraga 2019 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0374219664 | EPUB | 3 MB From the celebrated editor ofThis Bridge Called My Back, Cherre Moraga charts her own coming-of-age alongside her mother's decline, and also tells the larger story of the Mexican American diaspora.Native Country of the Heart: AMemoiris, at its core, a mother-daughter story. The mother, Elvira, was hired out as a child, along with her siblings, by their own father to pick cotton in California's Imperial Valley. The daughter, Cherre Moraga, is a brilliant, pioneering, queer Latina feminist. The story of these two women, and of their people, is woven together in an intimate memoir of critical reflection and deep personal revelation.As a young woman, Elvira left California to work as a cigarette girl in glamorous late-1920s Tijuana, where an ambiguous relationship with a wealthy white man taught her life lessons about power, sex, and opportunity. As Moraga charts her mother's journey--from impressionable young girl to battle-tested matriarch to, later on, an old woman suffering under the yoke of Alzheimer's--she traces her own self-discovery of her gender-queer body and Lesbian identity, as well as her passion for activism and the history of her pueblo. As her mother's memory fails, Moraga is driven to unearth forgotten remnants of a U.S. Mexican diaspora, its indigenous origins, and an American story of cultural loss.Poetically wrought and filled with insight into intergenerational trauma,Native Country of the Heartis a reckoning with white American history and a piercing love letter from a fearless daughter to the mother she will never lose. |
