 cox-brian, "Wonders of the Universe. by Brian Cox" English | ISBN: 0007395825 | 2011 | 256 pages | MOBI | 35 MB Professor Brian Cox is back with another insightful and mind-blowing exploration of space. This time he shows us our universe as we've never seen it before. 13.7 billion years old. 93 billion light years wide. It contains over 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. This infinite, vast and complex Universe has been the subject of human fascination and scientific exploration for thousands of years. The wonders of the Universe might seem alien to us and impossible to understand, but away from the telescopes, the labs and the white coats, Professor Brian Cox uses the evidence found in the natural world around us to explain its simple truths. Travelling to the North Pole, Professor Cox demonstrates how spinning worlds create electrical currents and magnetism; he looks at the South Pacific Ocean to explain how the Universe communicates and moves in waves; he shows us how the water of the Angel Falls waterfall in Venezuela behaves exactly like the light does around a black hole. The same laws of light, gravity, time, matter and energy that govern us here on Earth are the same as those applied in the Universe. Using 3D CGI imagery, his expert knowledge and his infectious enthusiasm, Professor Cox shows us that if we can understand the impact of these governing laws on Earth it will bring us a step closer to an understanding of our Universe.  Christopher Catherwood, "Winston Churchill: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works " English | ISBN: 1538120828 | 2020 | 230 pages | EPUB | 6 MB Winston Churchill has for decades been regarded as one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century, not just in his home country Britain but in the USA as well, where he continues to be an inspiration to many to this day. In 2002 he was voted The Greatest Briton, and the 2016 movie The Darkest Hour continues his global iconic status as someone who stood up to tyranny in 1940, against all the odds, and prevailed. But while 1940 has deserved iconic status, Churchill's 60 year political career saw as many downs as ups, disasters as well as triumphs, and had he died in 1939 he would, historians judge, have been seen as a failure not the hero he went on to become. So we need to see the whole of Churchill's life to gain a proper perspective, and that is exactly what this book sets out to achieve  Pat Flynn, "Will It Fly?: How to Test Your Next Business Idea So You Don't Waste Your Time and Money" English | ISBN: 0997082305 | 2016 | 340 pages | AZW3 | 5 MB Stop rushing into businesses born from half-baked ideas, misguided theories, and other forms of self-delusion. A lack of proper validation kills more businesses than anything else. As Joel Barker says, 'Speed is only useful if you re running in the right direction.' Will It Fly? will help you make sure you are clear for takeoff.  László Kocsis, "Wilfrid Sellars's Metaphilosophy: Two Images and the Philosophy in Between" English | ISBN: 1350466875 | 2026 | 270 pages | PDF | 5 MB Bringing together essays on Wilfrid Sellars's distinction between the manifest and scientific image and on his synoptic vision of philosophy's role in mitigating their clash and aiding their fusion, this volume sheds new light on some of the most intricate, perplexing, and far-reaching aspects of his philosophy. An international team of leading and rising scholars offers a systematic treatment of Sellars's metaphilosophy and its implications, drawing on the concepts introduced in his seminal work, Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man. The volume is divided into four parts. The first three chapters delve into the images themselves, exploring their seemingly irresolvable tension and the philosophical challenges in attempting to overcome it. Essays in the second block address the metaphilosophical question of how the ever-evolving scientific image reshapes the nature and scope of philosophical inquiry, with a focus on the metaphysical and ontological consequences of attempts to fuse the two images. Authors of the third part revisit Sellars's philosophy through historical reinterpretations, drawing mainly on Kant, logical empiricism, and logical atomism. The final three chapters turn to Sellars's own conceptual innovations, such as conceptual frameworks and the Space of Reasons. Attesting to his extensive legacy as a key figure in 20th-century analytic philosophy, this collection illuminates Sellars's challenging ideas in a clear, profound, and imaginative way.

Ligita Ryliškytė, "Why the Cross?: Divine Friendship and the Power of Justice " English | ISBN: 1009202766 | 2023 | 350 pages | PDF | 3 MB In this book, Ligita Ryliskyte addresses what is arguably the most important and profound question in systematic theology: What does it mean for humankind to be saved by the cross? Offering a constructive account of the atonement that avoids pitting God's saving love against divine justice, she provides a biblically-grounded and philosophically disciplined theology of the cross that responds to the exigencies of postmodern secular culture. Ryliskyte draws on Bernard J. F. Lonergan's development of the Augustinian-Thomist tradition to argue that the justice of the cross concerns the orderly communication and diffusion of divine friendship. It becomes efficacious in the dynamic order of the emergent universe through the transformation of evil into good out of love. Showing how inherited theological traditions can be transposed in new contexts, Ryliskyte's book reveals a Christology of fundamental significance for contemporary systematic theology, as well as the fields of theological ethics and Christian spirituality.  Colin Hay, "Why We Hate Politics " English | ISBN: 0745630995 | 2007 | 200 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB Politics was once a term with an array of broadly positive connotations, associated with public scrutiny, deliberation and accountability. Yet today it is an increasingly dirty word, typically synonymous with duplicity, corruption, inefficiency and undue interference in matters both public and private. How has this come to pass? Why do we hate politics and politicians so much? How pervasive is the contemporary condition of political disaffection? And what is politics anyway?

Why we can't afford the rich exposes the unjust and dysfunctional mechanisms that allow the top 1% to siphon off wealth produced by others, through the control of property and money. Leading social scientist Andrew Sayer shows how the rich worldwide have increased their ability to create indebtedness and expand their political influence. |
