Download or read book Initiating Women in Freemasonry written by J.A.M. Snoek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis: Journal of Gnostic Studies is a peer-reviewed publication devoted to the study of Gnostic religious currents from the ancient world to the modern, where ‘Gnostic’ is broadly conceived as a reference to special direct knowledge of the divine, which either transcends or transgresses conventional religious knowledge. It aims to publish academic papers on: the emergence of the Gnostic, in its many different historical and local cultural contexts; the Gnostic strands that persisted in the middle ages; and modern interpretations of Gnosticism – with the goal of establishing cross-cultural and trans-historical conversations, together with more localized historical analyses. The corpus of Gnostic materials includes (but is not restricted to) testimonies from outsiders as well as insider literature such as the Nag Hammadi collection, the Hermetica, Neoplatonic texts, the Pistis Sophia, the books of Jeu, the Berlin and Tchacos codices, Manichaean documents, Mandaean scriptures, and contemporary Gnostic fiction/film and ‘revealed’ literature. The journal will publish the best of traditional historical and comparative scholarship while also featuring newer approaches that have received less attention in the established literature, such as cognitive science, cognitive linguistics, social memory, psychology, ethnography, sociology, and literary theory.
Download or read book Resolving Strong Field Dynamics in Cation States of CO 2 via Optimised Molecular Alignment written by Malte Oppermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an experimental study of the ultrafast molecular dynamics of CO_2^+ that are induced by a strong, near-infrared, femtosecond laser pulse. In particular, typical strong field phenomena such as tunneling ionisation, nonsequential double ionisation and photo-induced dissociation are investigated and controlled by employing an experimental technique called impulsive molecular alignment. Here, a first laser pulse fixes the molecule in space, such that the molecular dynamics can be studied as a function of the molecular geometry with a second laser pulse. The experiments are placed within the context of the study and control of ultrafast molecular dynamics, where sub-femtosecond (10^-15 seconds) resolution in ever larger molecular systems represents the current frontier of research. The thesis presents the required background in strong field and molecular physics, femtosecond laser architecture and experimental techniques in a clear and accessible language that does not require any previous knowledge in these fields.

Book excerpt: Beware The Silence stands as a testament to the enduring allure and inherent mystery of the unsaid, the unexplained, and the eerily quiet moments that precede a storm. Spanning an impressive range of literary styles, from the gothic to the speculative, the realist to the supernatural, this collection delves into the silence that speaks volumes, exploring themes of isolation, the unknown, and the uncanny. This anthology is notable not just for its breadth but also for its depth, featuring standout pieces that showcase the unique intersections of culture, time, and psychology, marking a significant contribution to the literary landscape. The authors and editors represented in Beware The Silence collectively bring a rich mosaic of backgrounds, from the well-trodden halls of classic literature by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to the shadowy corners explored by H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. These authors, hailing from varied eras and regions, contribute to a multifaceted exploration of the anthology's theme, each drawing from their unique personal, historical, and cultural contexts. Their works reflect the diverse literary movements they belonged to, from Romanticism to Victorian literature, from realism to the birth of modern horror and speculative fiction, enriching the reader's understanding of how silence can signify across different temporal and cultural landscapes. Beware The Silence invites readers into a rich tapestry of narratives that promise to captivate, haunt, and challenge. It stands as a unique opportunity to traverse a wide spectrum of human emotion and experience, offering insights into the often underexplored themes of silence and the unsaid. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of literature, this collection provides not only a voyage into the many facets of silence but also fosters a dialogue between the past and present, the said and the unsaid, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by the complexities that define the human condition.

Download or read book Public Parks Private Gardens written by Colta Ives and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacular transformation of Paris during the 19th century into a city of tree-lined boulevards and public parks both redesigned the capital and inspired the era’s great Impressionist artists. The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and country-dwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work. Public Parks, Private Gardens includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, Cézanne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat. Many of these artists were themselves avid gardeners, and they painted parks and gardens as the distinctive scenery of contemporary life. Writing from the perspective of both a distinguished art historian and a trained landscape designer, Colta Ives provides new insights not only into these essential works, but also into this extraordinarily creative period in France’s history.
