The Sense of Smell in the Middle Ages: A Source of Certainty (Studies in Medieval History and Culture) by Katelynn Robinson
2019 | ISBN: 0367000687 | English | 238 pages | EPUB | 0.6 MB
Odors, including those of incense, spices, cooking, and refuse, were both ubiquitous and meaningful in central and late medieval Western Europe. The significance of the sense of smell is evident in scholastic Latin texts, most of which are untranslated and unedited by modern scholars. Between the late eleventh and thirteenth century, medieval scholars developed a logical theory of the workings of the sense of smell based on Greek and Arabic learning. In the thirteenth through fifteenth century, medical authors detailed practical applications of smell theory and these were communicated to individuals and governing authorities by the medical profession in the interests of personal and public health. At the same time, religious authors read philosophical and medical texts and gave their information religious meaning. This reinterpretation of scholastic philosophy and medicine led to the development of what can be termed a medically aware theology of smell that was communicated to popular audiences alongside traditional olfactory theory in sermons. Its impact on popular thought is reflected in late medieval mystical texts. While the senses have received increasing scholarly attention in recent decades, this volume presents the first detailed research into the sense of smell in the later European Middle Ages.

The Secrets of Word-of-Mouth Marketing: How to Trigger Exponential Sales Through Runaway Word of Mouth By George Silverman
2001 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0814470726 | PDF | 1 MB
In our hype-infested society, honest and positive word of mouth can multiply sales explosively. But for those who think it happens by chance (as most marketers do), this book will be an eye-opener. The surprising truth is that word of mouth can be implemented as strategically as any other form of marketing--and at significantly lower cost! This is especially good news for any seller of products or services who must maximize every marketing dollar. Central to this book is the innovative Decision Matrix, which helps readers identify who their potential buyers are and what messages those prospects need to hear from friends, coworkers, and trusted advisors. This matrix is followed by step-by-step guidance on how to construct an integrated ''no vested interest'' campaign that leverages all channels (including traditional media, the Internet, and PR), penetrates successive tiers of audiences, and builds sales exponentially. Marketers will learn how to: * Target the predominate adopter type (innovator, early, middle, late, laggard) * Create the content--the actual words--needed to accelerate the process * Identify the sources and delivery mechanisms that will be most persuasive * Use a wide variety of the methods that trigger runaway word of mouth.

The San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 By Louise Chipley Slavicek
2008 | 129 Pages | ISBN: 0791096505 | PDF | 8 MB
At approximately 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, a powerful earthquake ripped through the city of San Francisco. Roadways rose and fell like ocean waves. Crumbling walls and chimneys rained glass and bricks onto sidewalks and streets, and crowded rooming houses suddenly vanished into heaps of splintered wood. Yet San Francisco's ordeal had only begun. The violent trembling of the ground had hardly stilled when dozens of fires sparked by damaged chimneys and severed gas lines ignited throughout the stricken city. By April 21st, the fires were finally brought under control, but the city had lost nearly 30,000 buildings to the earthquake and ensuing blazes, half of its population was homeless, and some 3,000 were dead. Until Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in 2005, the San Francisco calamity of 1906 was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.

The Ptolemies, the Sea and the Nile: Studies in Waterborne Power by Kostas Buraselis, Mary Stefanou, Dorothy J. Thompson
2013 | ISBN: 1107033357, 1108436668 | English | 294 pages | EPUB | 12 MB
With its emphasis on the dynasty's concern for control of the sea - both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea - and the Nile, this book offers a new and original perspective on Ptolemaic power in a key period of Hellenistic history. Within the developing Aegean empire of the Ptolemies, the role of the navy is examined together with that of its admirals. Egypt's close relationship to Rhodes is subjected to scrutiny, as is the constant threat of piracy to the transport of goods on the Nile and by sea. Along with the trade in grain came the exchange of other products. Ptolemaic kings used their wealth for luxury ships and the dissemination of royal portraiture was accompanied by royal cult. Alexandria, the new capital of Egypt, attracted poets, scholars and even philosophers; geographical exploration by sea was a feature of the period and observations of the time enjoyed a long afterlife.

The Power of Tactics - Volume 3 Calculate Like Champions

The Power of Tactics - Calculate Like Champions - Volume 3 by Tadej Sakelsek, Adrian Mikhalchishin
2020 | ISBN: 6155793239 | English | 320 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
The middlegame is the most important part of the game, as the majority of encounters are decided there. We know that sometimes it is difficult to divide strategy and tactic, as they both have the same aim - to win the game. There are many valuable books on tactics, and many authors have presented classifications of tactical motifs and themes. But some of them are too academic - in modern times we require a much more practical education. For this reason, nowadays different test books are becoming very popular. Calculate Like Champions is the third book in the series The Power of Tactics. In this third volume, the authors continue to develop their ideas from the first two book - Tactics According to Smyslov and the Become a Tactical Wizard - where they explain that in chess there are four main tactical elements (check, pin, double attack and unprotected pieces).

Federico M. Rossi, "The Poor's Struggle for Political Incorporation: The Piquetero Movement in Argentina "
English | ISBN: 1107110114 | 2017 | 340 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book offers an innovative perspective on the ever-widening gap between the poor and the state in Latin American politics. It presents a comprehensive analysis of the main social movement that mobilized the poor and unemployed people of Argentina to end neoliberalism and to attain incorporation into a more inclusive and equal society. The piquetero (picketer) movement is the largest movement of unemployed people in the world. This movement has transformed Argentine politics to the extent of becoming part of the governing coalition for more than a decade. Rossi argues that the movement has been part of a long-term struggle by the poor for socio-political participation in the polity after having been excluded by authoritarian regimes and neoliberal reforms. He conceptualizes this process as a wave of incorporation, exploring the characteristics of this major redefinition of politics in Latin America.

The Physics and Philosophy of the Bible: How Science and Great Thinkers in History Join Theology to Show That God Exists and That We Can Live Forever by James Frederick Ivey
English | February 6, 2014 | ISBN: 1514839318 | 301 pages | PDF | 1.81 Mb
This work primarily supports the truth of Christianity by examining correlations among theology, science, and philosophy. 2500 years ago, science was barely in existence and non-distinguishable from philosophy. It probably would not have seemed strange in that day if someone had postulated that everything that is originated in the abstract. It certainly does to us, but the Prime Mover must be an abstraction because only abstractions do not need creation in order to be. 2 + 2= 4 regardless of whether anyone says so or not, and the same goes for, "Love is a good thing." A hunk of wood is composed of atoms that contain so much more space than substance that we can hardly comprehend it, and these atoms have in their nuclei protons that consist so much more of space than they do of substance that one may compare the volume of a house vs. that of our solar system in characterizing them. Then, when we examine the substance of which I speak, we find that the best we can do with regard to its composition is to say that it is energy. Now, we do not know what energy is, though we do know that it accelerates and heats things in accordance with mathematical equations. Thus, matter reduces to math, an abstraction. I have said that abstractions are autonomous, but we know they can also proceed from minds. If both of these observations are true, is it possible that mind can emanate from abstraction? Well, mind IS an abstraction; therefore, it may not have to proceed from anything in order to be. We would seem at this point to be close to the mechanism of the origin of God. In this book, I claim to become closer. Let us now move on from the connection of philosophy with religion to the connection of science with theology. Sir Arthur Eddington, associate of Einstein, and Sir James Jeans, associate of Hubble, concluded, in the late 1920's that (in Eddington's words) "The stuff of the world is mind-stuff." By this, they meant that all we perceive is thought, probably that of a Being of stupendous magnitude and mathematical ability. Something like a half century later, John Archibald Wheeler, mentor of Richard Feynman and other famous theoretical physicists, stated that the universe is information, and and it would appear that all information proceeds from an informer. We can support Eddington's and Jeans's contention by examining a premise of quantum physics called quantum observation. We know that elemental particles of matter and force have dual existences in that they may be waves at one moment and quanta, tiny packets, at another. Physicists have also shown in the laboratory that, the greater the observation of elemental particles e.g. electrons, the greater the degree to which they exist as quanta, and, the less they are observed, the more they exist as waves. Now, the phenomenon of quantum observation extends into the macroscopic world such that quantum physicists believe that nothing exists until it is observed. This suggests that the creation of matter has a two-fold nature, wherein potential, virtual reality, appears first and is subsequently actualized by observation. (This probably refers to force as well as matter, since, at least according to string theory, the two are, on the quantum level, virtually indistinguishable.) Since we require mind for observation, we must conclude that, in the absence of any other cognitive mind, that of God serves as the Observer. Finally, we move to the book of Genesis and find that it shows God creating in exactly our dual manner, as He first thinks, "Let there be....," and follows this by observing that His potential creation is good, which actualizes it. His creation is good because it is derived from The Truth, which I define as everything that is good for the cognitive and which I tout in my book as the abstraction of God, and, with God, its Personification, the ultimate origin of everything that is. It is vastly more difficult to feature creation without God than with Him.
