 Popular Science and Public Opinion in Eighteenth-Century France By Michael R. Lynn 2006 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0719073731 | PDF | 4 MB In this book, Michael R. Lynn analyzes the popularization of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularizers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1641704667 | 264 pages | EPUB | 7.7 MB Babies are amazing! From the moment they open their eyes, they are learning and developing at an astonishing rate. Parents naturally want to engage with infants as they learn and grow, but what if we could optimize the way we play with babies? Backed by the latest research and years of observation,Playing with Babydistills the experts' findings for new parents, giving them a guide to the first year of a baby's life and the growth of his or her individual mind. Through specific month-by-month play options and the research behind them, psychoanalyst Laurie Hollman helps us understand how to create secure attachments between baby and mother even before they can communicate with language. While aiding natural development is a big plus, the real payoff for parents comes from the baby's reaction: when we play on the baby's level, we engage and connect more deeply-and we have more fun!  Planisphere and Starfinder by Carole Stott English | August 1, 2019 | ISBN: 0241399548 | PDF | 128 pages | 47.3 MB Planisphere and Starfinder is a practical guide to finding your way around the night sky. It demystifies astronomy and introduces basic stargazing techniques, enabling you to find and recognize objects with ease.  Pilates Fusion: Well-Being for Body, Mind, and Spirit by Shirley Archer English | January 30th, 2013 | ISBN: 0811839877 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 4.62 MB A healthy body, clear mind, and soaring spirit are now within reach in Pilates Fusion-a holistic approach to one of the most beneficial fitness practices today. Melding the best of Pilates with Eastern philosophy, Pilates Fusion features over 50 fully illustrated stretching, breathing, and mat-based exercises matched with meditative visualizations to awaken the spirit while strengthening the body.  Physics of Nonlinear Optics 2nd Edition English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030739783 | 194 Pages | PDF EPUB | 11.43 MB The book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to upper-undergraduate students enrolled in physics. The first edition of this book was published in 2014. As there is a demand for the next edition, it is quite natural to take note of the several advances that have occurred in the subject over the past five years and to decide which of these are appropriate for inclusion at the textbook level, given the fundamental nature and the significance of the subject area. This is the prime motivation for bringing out a revised second edition. Among the newer mechanisms and materials, the book introduces the super-continuum generation, which arises from an excellent interplay of the various mechanisms of optical nonlinearity. The topics covered in this book are quantum mechanics of nonlinear interaction of matter and radiation, formalism and phenomenology of nonlinear wave mixing processes, optical phase conjugation and applications, self-focusing and self-phase modulation and their role in pulse modification, nonlinear absorption mechanisms, and optical limiting applications, photonic switching and bi-stability, and physical mechanisms leading to a nonlinear response in a variety of materials. This book has emerged from an attempt to address the requirement of presenting the subject at the college level. This textbook includes rigorous features such as the elucidation of relevant basic principles of physics; a clear exposition of the ideas involved at an appropriate level; coverage of the physical mechanisms of non-linearity; updates on physical mechanisms and emerging photonic materials and emphasis on the experimental study of nonlinear interactions. The detailed coverage and pedagogical tools make this an ideal textbook for students and researchers enrolled in physics and related courses.  Physical Evaluation and Treatment Planning in Dental Practice, 2nd edition by Géza T. Terézhalmy, Michaell A. Huber English | Sep 28, 2021 | ISBN: 1118646584 | 448 pages | PDF | 27 MB The revised Second Edition of Physical Evaluation and Treatment Planning in Dental Practice has been expanded to include information pertinent when considering comprehensive treatment planning for a wide variety of dental procedures. Written by internationally recognized specialists and discipline experts in their field, the Second Edition offers new chapters on dental and oral diseases and disorders, including insights and diagnostics for each category. Readers will learn about diagnosis and planning considerations for orofacial pain, caries, periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, restorative, prosthodontics and esthetic dentistry, and more.  Philosophy, Literature and Understanding: On Reading and Cognition by Jukka Mikkonen 2021 | ISBN: 1350163961 | English | 190 pages | PDF | 7 MB Challenging existing methodological conceptions of the analytic approach to aesthetics, Jukka Mikkonen brings together philosophy, literary studies and cognitive psychology to offer a new theory on the cognitive value of reading fiction.  Philosophy by Women: 22 Philosophers Reflect on Philosophy and Its Value by Elly Vintiadis 2020 | ISBN: 0367458411, 0367332639 | English | 202 pages | PDF | 4 MB What is philosophy, why does it matter, and how would it be different if women wrote more of it? At a time when the importance of philosophy, and the humanities in general, is being questioned and at a time when the question of gender equality is a huge public question, 22 women in philosophy lay out in this book how they think of philosophy, what they actually do, and how that is applied to actual problems. By bringing together accounts of the personal experiences of women in philosophy, this book provides a new understanding of the ways in which the place of women in philosophy has changed in recent decades while also introducing the reader to the nature and the value of philosophy.  Philosophy as a Way of Life: History, Dimensions, Directions by Matthew Sharpe, Michael Ure 2021 | ISBN: 1350102148, 1350102156 | English | 424 pages | PDF | 4 MB In this first ever introduction to philosophy as a way of life in the Western tradition, Matthew Sharpe and Michael Ure take us through the history of the idea from Socrates and Plato, via the medievals, Renaissance and Enlightenment thinkers, to Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, Foucault and Hadot. They examine the kinds of practical exercises each thinker recommended to transform their philosophy into manners of living.  Philosophy and the Climate Crisis: How the Past Can Save the Present By Byron Williston English | 2020 | ISBN : 0367506807 | 202 pages | PDF | 18 MB |
