I. R. Porteous, "Geometric Differentiation: For the Intelligence of Curves and Surfaces"
English | ISBN: 052139063X | 1994 | 315 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Geometry is to the fore in this textbook. Inspired by the work of Thom and Arnol'd on Singularity Theory, topics such as umbilics, ridges and subparabolic lines, all robust features of a smooth surface, which are rarely treated in elementary courses on differential geometry, are here considered in detail. These features are of immediate relevance in modern areas of application including pattern recognition, computer vision, electronic scanning and remote sensing. Central to the exposition is the role of certain cubic forms associated with a surface; using this theory many interesting results are proved and illustrative examples explored. The text is based on extensive teaching at Liverpool University to audiences of advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students in mathematics, but its wide applicability will mean that it will also appeal to scientists and engineers from a variety of other disciplines.

Hyaeweol Choi, "Gender Politics at Home and Abroad: Protestant Modernity in Colonial-Era Korea"
English | ISBN: 1108487432 | 2020 | 320 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Hyaeweol Choi examines the formation of modern gender relations in Korea from a transnational perspective. Diverging from a conventional understanding of 'secularization' as a defining feature of modernity, Choi argues that Protestant Christianity, introduced to Korea in the late nineteenth century, was crucial in shaping modern gender ideology, reforming domestic practices and claiming new space for women in the public sphere. In Korea, Japanese colonial power - and with it, Japanese representations of modernity - was confronted with the dominant cultural and material power of Europe and the US, which was reflected in Korean attitudes. One of the key agents in conveying ideas of "Western modernity" in Korea was globally connected Christianity, especially US-led Protestant missionary organizations. By placing gender and religion at the center of the analysis, Choi shows that the development of modern gender relations was rooted in the transnational experience of Koreans and not in a simple nexus of the colonizer and the colonized.

Adão José Gonçalves da Cruz, "Fundamentals of Esoteric Psychology"
English | ISBN: 6500136179 | 2021 | 450 pages | EPUB | 1288 KB
The Fundamentals of Esoteric Psychology can be observed in Esoteric Theology developed in the New Testament (Holy Bible). Through these Christian methods, one can deeply understand the progeny of the Collective Unconscious and the progeny of the formation of Archetypes, because it directs humanity to the psychic-quantum process of individuation.Through this analysis, the psychic-quantum processes of individuation become even more interesting because they are not intended only for people from the West or the East, or for a certain social class: they are real and natural events; they are unconscious and semi-conscious psychic-quantum processes that are happening in all human beings, through psychic metadata.Its psychological importance is to assist in the renewal of the facts that neurobiology, neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry are treated, because they intertwine our current psychic existence; however, modern science cannot yet judge how psychic-quantum changes occur in deeper terms in the nature of the psyche. With this observation, by psychological way, it is the case of the present humanity in relation to the macrocosm, because humanity, in general, is restricted to the microcosm in its compact dimension, that is, in personality.Our own soul growth depends on the archetypes we create and develop in the nature of the psyche. That is why we connect by thoughts and feelings with other people, even unconsciously. This is one of the purposes of the psychic-quantum process of individuation: to make conscious connection with all people and hierarchies that are in different space-times.
