Download or read book Rationalising the Bible Volume 2 Conquest Kings Poetry and Prophecy written by Ivy Bedworth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rationalising the Bible" is a collection of volumes that cover the books of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible. Written by mostly unidentified authors, the Bible is generally attributed with being the moral compass of the world of Judeo-Christian religious adherents. In fact, the Bible is mostly mythological history, inaccurate science, exaggerated reports of violence and discrimination against the people who settled the Fertile Crescent, and a set of laws plagiarised from those already in existence in the area. Even the writing of it, claimed to be that of the patriarchs, can clearly be identified, in the reading of it, as belonging rather to a period when all people in the civilised world were writing their stories. It was not written, as atheists often charge, by illiterate nomadic tribespeople in pre-history. Instead, it was written by politicians and priests at a time when the western civilisations were making their mark on the world's politics.

Download or read book Stepping Out of Self Deception written by Rodney Smith and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent Insight Meditation teacher presents the Buddhist concept of “no-self” in an easy-to-understand way that will radically change your perspective on life Anatta is the Buddhist teaching on the nonexistence of a permanent, independent self. It’s a notoriously puzzling and elusive concept, usually leading to such questions as, “If I don’t have a self, who’s reading this sentence?” It’s not that there’s no self there, says Rodney Smith. It’s just that the self that is reading this sentence is a configuration of elements that at one time did not exist and which at some point in the future will disperse. Even in its present existence, it’s more a temporary arrangement of components rather than something solid. Anatta is a truth the Buddha considered to be absolutely essential to his teaching. Smith shows that understanding this truth can change the way you relate to the world, and that the perspective of selflessness is critically important for anyone involved in spiritual practice. Seeing it can be the key to getting past the idea that spirituality has something to do with self-improvement, and to accessing the joy of deep insight into reality.

Download or read book The Baby Burped On My Battledress written by Sanjay ‘Kris Tee’ Tewari and published by White Falcon Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising a family presented its own unique set of challenges in Service. The major portion of parenting would invariably fall on the wife, while the dashing soldier, sailor or airman would do just that – dash in and dash out. On the rare occasions when he did lend a hand, there would be the inevitable mix-up of tins of baby food with tins of brasso, diapers inside DMS boots, rattles, ribbons and rank badges and invariably that one essential item of uniform missing! Life in the Services, away from the place of work is a cheerful mix of trunks, government issue furniture, school uniforms, belts, cap badges, tins of shoe polish, webbing and the million other things that occupy a serviceman's house. While the profession of military service is a serious one, with risks to life and limb, it is a different world in the cantonments where they live. This is a book about the lighter side of life in the Services away from work, in the houses that they occupy for short periods before moving to another station on transfer, to take up new assignments, as seen through the eyes of a child, a wife and a serving officer. The book consists of several short stories spanning a period of around 75 years from pre-independence India to the present.
Download or read book Chemical Change in Deforming Materials written by Brian Bayly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to detail the chemical changes that occur in deforming materials subjected to unequal compressions. While thermodynamics provides, at the macroscopic level, an excellent means of understanding and predicting the behavior of materials in equilibrium and non-equilibrium states, much less is understood about nonhydrostatic stress and interdiffusion at the chemical level. Little is known, for example, about the chemistry of a state resulting from a cylinder of deforming material being more strongly compressed along its length than radially, a state of non-equilibrium that remains no matter how ideal the cylinder's condition in other respects. M. Brian Bayly here provides the outline of a comprehensive approach to gaining a simplified and unified understanding of such phenomena. The author's perspective differs from those commonly found in the technical literature in that he emphasizes two little-used equations that allow for a description and clarification of viscous deformation at the chemical level. Written at a level that will be accessible to many non-specialists, this book requires only a fundamental understanding of elementary mathematics, the nonhydrostatic stress state, and chemical potential. Geochemists, petrologists, structural geologists, and materials scientists will find Chemical Change in Deforming Materials interesting and useful.
Download or read book Inspiring Thoughts of Great Educational Thinkers written by Dr. VIMAL KISHOR and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does inspiration come from? Is it a moment of personal genius? The voice of God speaking directly to us? Or is it the result of good, old-fashioned hard work? Maybe, it's both. The word inspiration literally means to "breathe in." When babies are born, when they begin to live, they breathe. Likewise, we all need inspiration - the breath of life - to truly live. Every now and then we read a book, watch a movie or simply hear a story where we learn something that dramatically changes our life. It's profound when it happens. But as remarkable as it may be, it is also rare and unpredictable.
Download or read book Aiming At Medicine Human Biology Health Sciences And Medicine Futures written by Charles Oxnard and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though first a doctor who treated patients, the author became a professor, questioning facts (researching), exciting students (teaching), borrowing ideas (from the breadth of science, statistics, technology, engineering and medicine), and challenging 'how it all works'. Though beginning gently, the question in the book eventually leads fiercely into how research, teaching, practice and service really occur, and to ferocious challenges both inside academia and out in society.It is hoped that this double-ferocity will be useful: to students wondering about their futures; to physician and scientist parents looking at the possibility of their children following them; to all parents and grandparents worrying about the careers of all offspring; to anyone interested in the processes of discovery, teaching, and service; and for everyone, concerned about the wider implications for education and for society.
