 Amos Yong, "The Cambridge Companion to Pentecostalism " English | ISBN: 0521188385 | 2014 | 356 pages | EPUB | 762 KB Pentecostalism is one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the world. Groups in the United States dominated early Pentecostal histories, but recent global manifestations have expanded and complicated the definition of Pentecostalism. This volume provides a nuanced overview of Pentecostalism's various manifestations and explores what it means to be Pentecostal from the perspectives of both insiders and outsiders. Leading scholars in the field use a multidisciplinary approach to analyze the historical, economic, political, anthropological, sociological, and theological aspects of the movement. They address controversies, such as the Oneness-Trinity controversy; introduce new theories; and chart trajectories for future research. The Cambridge Companion to Pentecostalism will enable beginners to familiarize themselves with the important issues and debates surrounding the global movement, while also offering experienced scholars a valuable handbook for reference.

 Gary Marcus, "The Birth Of The Mind: How A Tiny Number Of Genes Creates The Complexities Of Human Thought" English | ISBN: 0465044050 | 2003 | 288 pages | PDF | 1294 KB In The Birth of the Mind , award-winning cognitive scientist Gary Marcus irrevocably alters the nature vs. nurture debate by linking the findings of the Human Genome project to the development of the brain.Startling findings have recently revealed that the genome is much smaller than we once thought, containing no more than 30,000-40,000 genes. Since this discovery, scientists have struggled to understand how such a tiny number of genes could contain the instructions for building the human brain, arguably the most complex device in the known universe. Synthesizing up-to-the-minute biology with his own original findings on child development, Marcus is the first to resolve this apparent contradiction by chronicling exactly how genes create the infinite complexities of the human mind. Along the way, he dispels the common misconceptions people harbor about genes, and explores the stunning implications of this research for the future of genetic engineering.Vibrantly written and completely accessible to the lay reader,  Bryan Burrough, "The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes" English | 2010 | ISBN: 0143116827, 1594201994 | EPUB | pages: 496 | 0.5 mb "Full of schadenfreude and speculation-and solid, timely history too."-Kirkus Reviews  The Beauty and the Terror: The Italian Renaissance and the Rise of the West by Catherine Fletcher English | July 8, 2020 | ISBN: 0190908491 | 391 pages | PDF | 24 Mb A new account of the birth of the West through its birthplace-Renaissance Italy |
