[center] Sung-hae Kim, "The Gourd and the Cross: Daoism and Christianity in Dialogue" English | ISBN: 1931483280 | 2014 | 230 pages | PDF | 7 MB The Gourd and the Cross goes back to an actual dialogue, first published in Korean in 2003. Reflecting highly personal understanding and exploration, it correlates Dao and the reign of God, compares Jesus and the sage of the Daode jing, and matches ideas of freedom in the Zhuangzi and the New Testament. It also establishes a dialogue between Daoist mind-fasting and Christian unknowing, examines concepts of Eastern immortality versus Western egalitarianism, and discusses visions of nature and humanity in the two religions, both traditionally and in terms of modern ecology. It concludes with an exploration of the interaction of Daoism and Christianity in Korean folk piety. Breaking exciting new ground, it brings Daoism to the fore in the growing field of interreligious dialogue. A must for anyone concerned with the changing face of religion and its impact in the con-temporary world.

This book proposes radical new thinking about religion in order to better comprehend and confront the systematic disempowerment of women and marginalized groups.
English | 2021 | ASIN : B099WKK512 | 32 pages | PDF, AZW3, EPUB, MOBI | 1.78 MB This Arabic - Arabic - English Dictionary of the Quran is the first of its kind ever, since no dictionary on Earth has adopted mixing the two systems, namely, the traditional Arabic root system and the non-Arabic alphabetical order . As for authoritative monolingual Arabic-Arabic Quranic Dictionaries , there is none that deals with "bare" words as such ; rather they deal with alfaz lit. "utterances", i.e derivatives . As for mixing the two systems, the Dictionary has no rival even among the purely linguistic ones or rather the only one, namely, Al-Wasit. As for other bilingual Arabic-English dictionaries of the Quran, the most famous one is that by the orientalist Penrice of 1873 which is a small and biased dictionary. The second one is that by Al-Nadawi, an Indian Muslim Scholar. Both dictionaries are Arabic-English with no "third explanatory extra Arabic language ". Furthermore, none is cross-referenced .This Arabic-Arabic- English Dictionary can be, therefore, of great help to English -speaking readers as well as Arabic-speaking ones who do not need from now onwards, for the first time in the history of Arabic lexicography, to think of the root of the Arabic word though this very root system is strictly adopted in the whole Dictionary. [center] The Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments, Second Edition by Thomas J. Santner English | PDF,EPUB | 2019 | 436 Pages | ISBN : 149398845X | 53.5 MB This book describes methods for designing and analyzing experiments that are conducted using a computer code, a computer experiment, and, when possible, a physical experiment. Computer experiments continue to increase in popularity as surrogates for and adjuncts to physical experiments. Since the publication of the first edition, there have been many methodological advances and software developments to implement these new methodologies. The computer experiments literature has emphasized the construction of algorithms for various data analysis tasks (design construction, prediction, sensitivity analysis, calibration among others), and the development of web-based repositories of designs for immediate application. While it is written at a level that is accessible to readers with Masters-level training in Statistics, the book is written in sufficient detail to be useful for practitioners and researchers.

Natasha V. Chang, "The Crisis-Woman: Body Politics and the Modern Woman in Fascist Italy " English | ISBN: 1442649674 | 2015 | 176 pages | PDF | 7 MB Femininity in the form of the donna-crisi, or "crisis-woman," was a fixture of fascist propaganda in the early 1930s. A uniquely Italian representation of the modern woman, she was cosmopolitan, dangerously thin, and childless, the antithesis of the fascist feminine ideal - the flashpoint for a range of anxieties that included everything from the changing social roles of urban women to the slippage of stable racial boundaries between the Italian nation and its colonies. John Lachs, "The Cost of Comfort " English | ISBN: 0253043166 | 2019 | 116 pages | PDF | 3 MB Philosopher John Lachs observes that humans today live lives of comfort but also sees that these comfortable lives come at a cost: our increasing unhappiness. In The Cost of Comfort, Lachs contemplates what humans need in order to live fulfilled lives in today's world. While comfort has not always reached everyone evenly, Lachs acknowledges that most of us who live in the US today reap the benefits of modern life. We live longer, we eat better food, we have access to good medical care, and we can stay in touch with loved ones who are far away. Lachs argues that this dizzyingly complex world often inspires isolation, but he believes that deeper engagement with it is required in order to dispel our growing psychic distance. Lachs advocates for mediation and champions education, advertising, openness, and transparency to help individuals understand the role they play in society and to nullify claims to blamelessness. Lachs suggests new rules for responsibility and argues that examining and understanding the consequences of one's actions is imperative to overcoming the ills and problems of the modern world.
