Caplan, "The Ethical Challenges of Emerging Medical Technologies " English | ISBN: 147242915X | 2016 | 500 pages | PDF | 59 MB [center]  The Essential Guide to CSS and HTML Web Design by Craig Grannell English | 2008 | ISBN: 1590599071 | 552 Pages | PDF | 11.9 MB There are a lot of books out there covering CSS and HTML, but this one stands out from the crowd by combining all the best aspects of reference and tutorial books ― it teaches everything you need to know to design great web sites, and moves at a fast pace, eschewing unnecessary theory and obscure details.  The Epistle of Forgiveness: Volume One: A Vision of Heaven and Hell By Abul 'Ala' Al-Ma'arri; Geert Jan Van Gelder; Gregor Schoeler 2013 | 464 Pages | ISBN: 0814763782 | PDF | 5 MB One of the most unusual books in classical Arabic literature, The Epistle of Forgiveness is the lengthy reply by the prolific Syrian poet and prose writer Abu l-'Alaa al-Ma'arri (d. 449 H/1057 AD) to a letter written by an obscure grammarian, Ibn al-Qarih. With biting irony, The Epistle of Forgiveness mocks Ibn al-Qarih's hypocrisy and sycophancy by imagining he has died and arrived with some difficulty in Heaven, where he meets famous poets and philologists from the past. He also glimpses Hell, and converses with the Devil and various heretics. Al-Ma'arri--a maverick, a vegan, and often branded a heretic himself--seems to mock popular ideas about the Hereafter. This translation is the first complete translation in any language and retains the many digressions, difficult passages, and convoluted grammatical discussions of the original typically omitted in other translations. It is accompanied by extensive annotation and a comprehensive introduction.Geert Jan van Gelder studied Semitic Languages in Amsterdam and Leiden. He was Lecturer in Arabic at the University of Groningen (1975-1998) and Laudian Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford (1998-2012). He has published numerous articles and several books on classical Arabic literature. Gregor Schoeler studied Arabic and Islamic Studies in Frankfurt am Main and Giessen (Germany).

The English Resistance: The Underground War Against the Normans By Peter Rex; Tempus Publishing 2004 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0752428276 | EPUB | 2 MB In 1066 the English were conquered by the infamous William the Conqueror. However, the English did not just roll over and die before their oppressors; far from it. For over five years the English violently rebelled against the invading Normans, murdering quislings, burning towns and sacking cathedrals. Peter Rex tells the story of each rebellion, their often colourful leaders (including Hereward the Wake, Edgar the Aetheling and Eadric the Wild) and the rebels themselves, whom the Normans called 'silvatici' or forest dwellers. He also considers William's attempts at pacifying the English, especially his notorious 'harrying' of the North, which amounted to genocide. For those who thought it was all over with King Harold's death, this book reinforces the view that the English are not so easily overcome.

The Creation of Spacetime and Higgs Field by Gerald W. Scanlon English | May 16, 2018 | ISBN: 1718797265 | 66 pages | EPUB | 2.47 Mb Many scientists believe there was an instant when all the mass of the universe was crammed into a tiny speck smaller than an atom. Have you ever wondered how the universe unraveled from this point creating the infinitely small world of atoms and particles and the infinitely large scale of the cosmos? In his latest book, The Creation of Spacetime and Higgs Field, the author presents a model of spacetime which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. He presents a continuum of matrices showing the creation of the Higgs field and the increasing area it covered on spacetime during the first few moments of the universe. In addition, the elements on the periodic table are placed into a continuum of figures which form the first orbiting quantum planets.
