![]() Free Download Modern Satanism: Anatomy of a Radical Subculture by Chris Mathews English | February 17, 2009 | ISBN: 031336639X | True EPUB | 275 pages | 0.5 MB In 1966, Anton LaVey introduced to the world the Church of Satan, an atheistic religion devoted to the philosophy of individualism and pitilessness often associated with Satan. Modern Satanism offers a comprehensive survey and analysis of the church that LaVey built. Satanism has been an open religion for forty years now and operates successfully in its self-created countercultural niche. Given the provocative nature of its name, contemporary Satanism is only superficially understood as an alternative religion/ideology, and all-too-frequently seen as a medieval superstition and associated with rumors of obscure rituals, perverse hedonism, cult-like behavior, and tales of ritual abuse and murder. These may be misconceptions, but the truth behind the unenviable reputation is no less dramatic. Satanism generally eschews supernatural beliefs and embodies a staunchly individualistic, pitiless, anti-egalitarian creed. If there is anything fundamentally diabolical about modern Satanism, it stems more from the echoes of Nazism in its theories than from its horror-comic trappings. ![]() Free Download Modern Painting: A Concise History (World of Art) by Simon Morley English | October 17, 2023 | ISBN: 0500204896 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 115 MB This new concise history of modern painting offers an indispensable reference to the complexities and characteristics of this medium, which now exists alongside many other contemporary practices that embrace radically expanded ideas about art. ![]() Free Download Modern Mössbauer Spectroscopy: New Challenges Based on Cutting-Edge Techniques by Yutaka Yoshida English | EPUB | 2021 | 533 Pages | ISBN : 981159421X | 138 MB This book presents an overview of the latest Mössbauer spectroscopy research.

Weinsier English | EPUB (True) | 2019 | 727 Pages | ISBN : 3030120430 | 36.1 MB In today's world, with an increase in the breadth and scope of real-world engineering optimization problems as well as with the advent of big data, improving the performance and efficiency of algorithms for solving such problems has become an indispensable need for specialists and researchers. In contrast to conventional books in the field that employ traditional single-stage computational, single-dimensional, and single-homogeneous optimization algorithms, this book addresses multiple newfound architectures for meta-heuristic music-inspired optimization algorithms. These proposed algorithms, with multi-stage computational, multi-dimensional, and multi-inhomogeneous structures, bring about a new direction in the architecture of meta-heuristic algorithms for solving complicated, real-world, large-scale, non-convex, non-smooth engineering optimization problems having a non-linear, mixed-integer nature with big data. The architectures of these new algorithms may also be appropriate for finding an optimal solution or a Pareto-optimal solution set with higher accuracy and speed in comparison to other optimization algorithms, when feasible regions of the solution space and/or dimensions of the optimization problem increase. ![]() Free Download John Walter - Modern Military Rifles (Greenhill Military Manuals) Greenhill Books | 2001 | ISBN: 1853674621 | English | 152 pages | PDF | 71.43 MB This new handbook is an authoritative source, by a leading weapons authority, on the most important military rifles in use in the world today.

It outlines their historical uses as herbal medicines in the past two millennia, using primary sources, and describes how extracts from them, and their semisynthetic and synthetic derivatives, were developed to be today's therapeutic drugs and diagnostic chemicals. This book describes medicinal plants and their habitats, the diseases that their medicines treat, and the science of how they work. ![]() Free Download Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar Workbook (Modern Grammar Workbooks) By Claudia Ross, Jing-Heng Sheng Ma, Baozhang He, Pei-Chia Chen, Meng Yeh 2024 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 1032369310 | EPUB | 1 MB Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar Workbook, third edition, is a book of exercises and language tasks to facilitate practice and reinforce language use.

A. Dubrovin , S. P. Novikov , A. T. Fomenko English | PDF (True) | 1985 | 447 Pages | ISBN : 0387961623 | 36.9 MB Up until recently, Riemannian geometry and basic topology were not included, even by departments or faculties of mathematics, as compulsory subjects in a university-level mathematical education. The standard courses in the classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces which were given instead (and still are given in some places) have come gradually to be viewed as anachronisms. However, there has been hitherto no unanimous agreement as to exactly how such courses should be brought up to date, that is to say, which parts of modern geometry should be regarded as absolutely essential to a modern mathematical education, and what might be the appropriate level of abstractness of their exposition. The task of designing a modernized course in geometry was begun in 1971 in the mechanics division of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. The subject-matter and level of abstractness of its exposition were dictated by the view that, in addition to the geometry of curves and surfaces, the following topics are certainly useful in the various areas of application of mathematics (especially in elasticity and relativity, to name but two), and are therefore essential: the theory of tensors (including covariant differentiation of them); Riemannian curvature; geodesics and the calculus of variations (including the conservation laws and Hamiltonian formalism); the particular case of skew-symmetric tensors (i. e. |
