Download or read book The Second Plane written by Martin Amis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-04-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays about 9/11 that constitute an evolving, provocative, and insightful examination of one of the most momentous events of our time—from "one of the most gifted novelists of his generation” (Time). At the heart of this collection is the long essay “Terror and Boredom,” an unsparing analysis of Islamic fundamentalism and the West's flummoxed response to it, while other pieces address the invasion of Iraq, the realities of Iran, and Tony Blair's lingering departure from Downing Street (and also his trips to Washington and Iraq). Whether lambasted for his refusal to kowtow to Muslim pieties or hailed for his common sense, wide reading, and astute perspective, Amis is indisputably a great pleasure to read—informed, elegant, surprising—and this collection a resounding contemplation of the relentless, manifold dangers we live with in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Remembering John written by David Child and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I once knew a very personable, intelligent, respectful and imaginative drunk named John with whom I lived in a home for men in Salt Lake City. His propensity for strong drink often led him to bouts of stupor and confusion and to stays in the VA Hospital, but he told funny and memorable stories about his past after he sobered up. I interviewed him because I had a talent for writing, and I thought his stories would be very interesting to many people. This white-haired, grizzled, loquacious, old gentleman was visually interesting as he smiled and chuckled on his way. He and I sat at the dinner table in the apartment house. I asked him if he would allow me to write stories about him, for I had heard him tell interesting things about his life to the other guys in the house. His gray hair and seemingly incisive intellectual analysis about many topics of the day led me to believe that I would hear many interesting things.

Download or read book From Riemann Hypothesis to CPS Geometry and written by Nick Trif and published by Nick Trif. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From Riemann Hypothesis to CPS Geometry and Back” (Volume 1) offers a new and very intriguing approach to Geometry. Staring from a simple assumption that the geometrical points are infinitesimal spheres crowded together in a close packing of spheres arrangement, filling-up the space, this book investigates the patterns and structure of the space generated by these points. The properties and structure of this space is described by the CPS Geometry. Volume 1 of this geometrical investigation (using points distributed in space according to the close packing of spheres arrangement) makes this geometry very similar with arithmetic. The connection between the world of natural numbers and the CPS Geometry makes this approach richer and a lot more interesting to study than one would expect. Enjoy!
