Daniel Castelo, "Pneumatology: A Guide for the Perplexed "
English | ISBN: 0567461653 | 2015 | 160 pages | AZW3 | 340 KB
This guide aims to elaborate and constructively engage some of the ongoing dogmatic challenges within the field of Christian pneumatology. Rather than a strict survey, the book largely represents a collection of working proposals on a number of relevant themes, including cosmology, mediation, the nature and role of Spirit-baptism, and discernment.

Plato: A Guide for the Perplexed (Guides For The Perplexed) by Gerald A. Press
English | December 24, 2007 | ISBN: 0826491774, 0826491766 | True EPUB/PDF | 250 pages | 0.4/1.9 MB
It is widely agreed that Plato laid the foundations for the whole history of western thought and, well over 2000 years later, his work is still studied by every student of philosophy. Yet his thought and writings continue to evoke perplexity in readers; and perplexity (aporia) is itself a characteristic of many of his writings, a recurrent motif of his thought, and apparently an important stage one must pass through along the path to wisdom that Plato presents.

Emma Stafford, "Personification in the Greek World: From Antiquity to Byzantium "
English | ISBN: 0754650316 | 2005 | 398 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Personification, the anthropomorphic representation of any non-human thing, is a ubiquitous feature of ancient Greek literature and art. Natural phenomena (earth, sky, rivers), places (cities, countries), divisions of time (seasons, months, a lifetime), states of the body (health, sleep, death), emotions (love, envy, fear), and political concepts (victory, democracy, war) all appear in human, usually female, form. Some have only fleeting incarnations, others become widely-recognised figures, and others again became so firmly established as deities in the imagination of the community that they received elements of cult associated with the Olympian gods. Though often seen as a feature of the Hellenistic period, personifications can be found in literature, art and cult from the Archaic period onwards; with the development of the art of allegory in the Hellenistic period, they came to acquire more 'intellectual' overtones; the use of allegory as an interpretative tool then enabled personifications to survive the advent of Christianity, to remain familiar figures in the art and literature of Late Antiquity and beyond. The twenty-one papers presented here cover personification in Greek literature, art and religion from its pre-Homeric origins to the Byzantine period. Classical Athens features prominently, but other areas of both mainland Greece and the Greek East are well represented. Issues which come under discussion include: problems of identification and definition; the question of gender; the status of personifications in relation to the gods; the significance of personification as a literary device; the uses and meanings of personification in different visual media; personification as a means of articulating place, time and worldly power. The papers reflect the enormous range of contexts in which personification occurs, indicating the ubiquity of the phenomenon in the ancient Greek world.

These days, the answer to the question, "Should we prioritize academics or social-emotional learning in schools?" is a firm, "Yes to both." Literacy, math, and other academic skills are essential for children's lifelong success. But without intentional social-emotional development, students may not learn how to process their emotions and connect with others in healthy ways. That's where mindfulness can come in.

MOUNTAINS: We live in a beautiful world. by Spencer Eltringham
English | May 10, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B094NG191H | 50 pages | PDF | 49 Mb
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. A mountain differs from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is larger than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges.Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, and through erosion by rivers and glaciers.High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction, such as mining and logging, and recreation, such as mountain climbing and skiing.The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest in the Himalayas of Asia, whose summit is 8,850 m (29,035 ft) above mean sea level. The highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).

Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time: In Construction Contracts, Third Edition By Brian Eggleston(auth.)
2008 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 1405118156 | PDF | 4 MB
Liquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area. The law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts. Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships. Against this background a third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike. Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry. The third edition takes account of a large volume of new case law since the previous edition was published over ten years ago, includes a new chapter on delay analysis and features significantly expanded chapters on penalty clauses, the effects of conditions precedent and time-bars, and the complexities of causation.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-15): Chapter 2 Time in Contracts (pages 16-40): Chapter 3 Damages for Late Completion (pages 41-70): Chapter 4 Liquidated Damages and Penalties (pages 71-130): Chapter 5 Prevention (pages 131-155): Chapter 6 Legal Construction of Liquidated Damages Clauses (pages 156-169): Chapter 7 Effects of Determination (pages 170-174): Chapter 8 Problems with Sectional Completion (pages 175-178): Chapter 9 Application to Sub?Contractors (pages 179-187): Chapter 10 Recovery of Liquidated Damages (pages 188-208): Chapter 11 Defences / Challenges to Liquidated Damages (pages 209-235): Chapter 12 Extensions of Time (pages 236-264): Chapter 13 Relevant Events (pages 265-284): Chapter 14 Causation and Concurrency (pages 285-301): Chapter 15 Programmes, Method Statements and Best Endeavours (pages 302-312): Chapter 16 Delay Analysis (pages 313-324): Chapter 17 Building Forms (pages 325-336): Chapter 18 Civil Engineering Forms (pages 337-355): Chapter 19 Process and Plant Forms (pages 356-371): Chapter 20 FIDIC Conditions of Contract 1999 (pages 372-378):

Lewis Acids in Organic Synthesis By
2000 | 1005 Pages | ISBN: 3527295798 | PDF | 25 MB
The use of Lewis acids in organic synthesis, especially in catalysis is one of the most rapidly developing fields in synthetic organic chemistry. In addition, Lewis acid catalysis is one of the key technologies for asymmetric synthesis, and combinatorial chemistry as well as for large-scale production. Until now, pertinent information on these topics was scattered throughout the literature. Although review articles have appeared,it was difficult for the researcher to compare different methods based on Lewis acids. This two-volume handbook, edited and written by an outstanding team of experts in the field, fills this gap! This book is based on a classification according to metal centre of these electron-deficient compounds, allowing an in-depth treatment of the characteristics, benefits and limitations of each class of acid. Extensive cross-referencing and a comprehensive index enables readers to quickly find the solution to their synthesis problem. The chemical community will welcome this as a source of inspiration and invaluable reference for daily work.
