 The Philosophy of Mannerism by van Tuinen, Sjoerd; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1350322474 | 241 pages | True PDF | 9.99 MB Sjoerd van Tuinen argues for the inseparability of matter and manner in the form of a group portrait of Leibniz, Bergson, Whitehead, Souriau, Simondon, Deleuze, Stengers, and Agamben. Examining afresh the 16th-century style of mannerism, this book synthesizes philosophy and aesthetics to demonstrate not only the contemporary relevance of artists such as Michelangelo or Arcimboldo but their broader significance as incorporating a form of modal thinking and perceiving.  The National Parks Cookbook by Ly, Linda;Taylor, Will; English | 2022 | ISBN: 0760375119 | 325 pages | True EPUB | 19.73 MB Relive the excitement of your vacation in your own kitchen with delicious recipes inspired by the chefs, restaurants, and iconic foods of the national parks.  Mathematics Of Open Quantum Systems, The: Dissipative And Non-unitary Representations And Quantum Measurements by Konstantin A Makarov;Eduard R Tsekanovskii; English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811241228 | 300 pages | True PDF EPUB | 34.65 MB This book presents new developments in the open quantum systems theory with emphasis on applications to the (frequent) measurement theory.In the first part of the book, the uniqueness theorems for the solutions to the restricted Weyl commutation relations braiding unitary groups and semi-groups of contractions are discussed. The major theme involves an intrinsic characterization of the simplest symmetric operator solutions to the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, the problem posed by Jørgensen and Muhly, followed by the proof of the uniqueness theorems for the simplest solutions to the restricted Weyl commutation relations. The detailed study of unitary invariants of the corresponding dissipative and symmetric operators opens up a look at the classical Stone-von Neumann uniqueness theorem from a new angle and provides an extended version of the uniqueness result relating various realizations of a differentiation operator on the corresponding metric graphs.The second part of the book is devoted to mathematical problems of the quantum measurements under continuous monitoring. Among the topics discussed are the complementarity of the Quantum Zeno effect and Exponential Decay scenario in frequent quantum measurements, and a rigorous treatment, within continuous monitoring paradigm, of the celebrated 'double-slit experiment' where the renowned exclusive and interference measurement alternatives approach in quantum theory is presented in a way that is accessible for mathematicians. One of the striking applications of the generalized (1-stable) central limit theorem is the mathematical evidence of exponential decay of unstable states of the quantum pendulum under continuous monitoring.  The Inner World of Unaware Phenomena by Bruce J. Diamond;Amy E. Learmonth;Katherine Makarec; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1498555470 | 135 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.4 MB In this The Inner World of Unaware Phenomena: Pathways to Brain, Behavior, and Implicit Memory, authors Bruce J. Diamond, Amy E. Learmonth, and Katherine Makarec argue that there is an inner world within all of us that profoundly impacts our lives, and that memories, perceptions, tastes, preferences, biases, and beliefs are encoded and expressed on an unaware, largely non-conscious level. In other words, many aspects of our lives and actions are guided and influenced by factors about which we may know very little, but which nevertheless alter the quality, substance, and trajectory of our lives, our loves, our likes, and our dislikes. Drawing on novel experimental designs and computer and imaging-based technologies, the authors demonstrate that people can react to faces and places in measurable ways, despite the fact that they may profess to having never seen or visited these faces or places. The authors show that these unaware phenomena are not isolated instances, but rather that they permeate and influence virtually every aspect of our lives.  The FIFA World Cup : A History of the Planet's Biggest Sporting Event by Clemente A. Lisi English | 2022 | ISBN: 1538156431 | 415 pages | True PDF EPUB | 11.42 MB The first complete history of the FIFA World Cup with a preview of the 2022 event in Qatar.  The Epic Outdoor Griddle Cookbook by Walton, Adam;Walton, Brett; English | 2022 | ISBN: 0760378177 | 283 pages | True EPUB | 9.23 MB Learn from the outdoor-griddle experts, Adam and Brett Walton, aka The Waltwins, how to turn your flattop griddle into the most valuable and versatile cooking tool in your arsenal.  The Economics of Books and Reading English | 2022 | ISBN: 9783031181993 | 155 pages | True PDF | 6.31 MB This book gives an overview of the key issues related to books and reading within the field of cultural economics and identifies additional lacunae in this area of research. The field of cultural economics is surprisingly short on research on the book market and on the activity of reading compared with other more recently invented media such as films and musical recordings.In addition, books and reading are strongly impacted by the disruptive innovations of digital technology and the use of online distribution platforms that fuel much of the research on the more recently invented cultural media. This book shows that the area of books and reading has had contributions in historically established areas of cultural economics and those currently exciting attention - chiefly with respect to digital disruption. Finally, it explains how books and reading are a fully developed rational addition model rather than something just based on the addition of past behaviour. [center]  The Dawn of Israel by Grabbe, Lester L.; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0567663221 | 375 pages | True PDF EPUB | 8.41 MB In this companion volume to his bestselling Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It? Lester L. Grabbe provides the background history of the main ancient Near Eastern peoples and empires: Babylonia, Assyria, Urartu, Hittites, Amorites, Egyptians.  The Civil War Abroad by Charles Priestley; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1476687099 | 228 pages | True PDF EPUB | 32.59 MB The impact of the Civil War was felt far beyond American shores. Many sites associated with the war remain in Britain and France-the two countries most affected-and traces of it can still be found in such unlikely places as Sweden and Turkey. Both Union and Confederate agents sought support overseas, aided by local sympathizers. Some Victorian Britons, despite their disdain for slavery, saw the South as an incipient nation struggling for recognition, like the Italians or the Poles, but linked to Britain by ties of blood, language and history. The sinking of the CSS Alabama by the USS Kearsarge off Cherbourg brought the war to the European coastline. Ten years after Appomattox, veterans from both North and South found themselves on the same side in the Egyptian army. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book examines the international side of the Civil War.  The Challenge of Leading an Ethical and Successful Organization by John Zinkin, Chris Bennett English | 2023 | ISBN: 311078081X | 174 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.89 MB Being both ethical and successful is challenging. The rewards of unethical behavior are often greater than the price paid for misbehavior. This book explains why leaders, seeking to run ethical and successful organizations, cannot depend only on the law and their organizations to make moral business decisions. |
