Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tome Terriblis is different to most spell books," explained Inglenook. "Instead of reading the spells, you have to write them yourself. The power in the Tome takes the words and turns them into magic." Bryony's lips curved into a smile. "So whatever I write would actually happen?" "Indeed. But as I said, the book is not for lending. If the Tome Terriblis fell into the wrong hands, the results could be catastrophic." Secretly 'borrowing' the Tome from the Wychetts library, Bryony uses its magic to make her the brainiest pupil in her class, and unwittingly wins a place at a special new school for intellectually gifted children. Suspecting Bryony of cheating, the jealous Edwin discovers the Tome and takes Bryony's place. All seems to be going well when he makes a new friend, but Edwin soon realises the green haired girl called Maddy is not all she seems, and that the Schrunkopf Institute is hiding a sinister secret. Unable to use their own magic, Bryony and Edwin must stop the crazed Professor Schrunkopf conducting his twisted experiments, and prevent the power of the Tome Terriblis being unleashed by a vengeful witch... Wychetts (pronounced "Witch-etts") is an ancient timber framed cottage which, although derelict and crumbling, contains an amazing magic power that is awoken accidentally by Bryony and her stepbrother Edwin. On discovering their new-found powers, the children embark upon a series of incredible adventures that will change their lives forever!

Download or read book A Course in Point Set Topology written by John B. Conway and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook in point set topology is aimed at an upper-undergraduate audience. Its gentle pace will be useful to students who are still learning to write proofs. Prerequisites include calculus and at least one semester of analysis, where the student has been properly exposed to the ideas of basic set theory such as subsets, unions, intersections, and functions, as well as convergence and other topological notions in the real line. Appendices are included to bridge the gap between this new material and material found in an analysis course. Metric spaces are one of the more prevalent topological spaces used in other areas and are therefore introduced in the first chapter and emphasized throughout the text. This also conforms to the approach of the book to start with the particular and work toward the more general. Chapter 2 defines and develops abstract topological spaces, with metric spaces as the source of inspiration, and with a focus on Hausdorff spaces. The final chapter concentrates on continuous real-valued functions, culminating in a development of paracompact spaces.

Its 1998, and hes supposed to be famous as an author by the year 2000 to ring in the new millennium. What to do? Its the Central Intelligence Agency and Albert Einstein to the rescue! President Clinton sends Albert Einstein and C.I.A. Agent Carl Baxter forward in time to 1998 to help the befuddled Hamm studying at Harvards John F. Kennedy School of Government. After Einstein becomes acquainted with Hamm and his friends from Brazil, China, South Africa, and Northern Ireland, Hamm takes Einstein, Baxter and his friends to Mardi Gras aboard a used New York City bus. Hamms two racist New Orleans friends show this group a good time in the Big Easy, after which the group continues on to the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, NM. There the group learns why the UFO phenomenon is classified, and something else: that Hamm is Hitler reincarnated. Now what? Hamm and Einstein decide to meet Eva Braun reincarnated as the Gen X bombshell actress Laura Harmann and go back in time with her, Baxter, and Hamms friends to interview Hitler living on an Argentine in 1968. Does all this result in a novel and also a speech to be delivered at Harvard in 1999 to ring in the new millennium? Read this screenplay and find out!

Download or read book Picturing the Human written by Maria Antonaccio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iris Murdoch has long been known as one of the most deeply insightful and morally passionate novelists of our time. This attention has often eclipsed Murdoch's sophisticated and influential work as a philosopher, which has had a wide-ranging impact on thinkers in moral philosophy as well as religious ethics and political theory. Yet it has never been the subject of a book-length study in its own right. Picturing the Human seeks to fill this gap. In this groundbreaking book, author Maria Antonaccio presents the first systematic and comprehensive treatment of Murdoch's moral philosophy. Unlike literary critical studies of her novels, it offers a general philosophical framework for assessing Murdoch's thought as a whole. Antonaccio also suggests a new interpretive method for reading Murdoch's philosophy and outlines the significance of her thought in the context of current debates in ethics. This vital study will appeal to those interested in moral philosophy, religious ethics, and literary criticism, and grants those who have long loved Murdoch's novels a closer look at her remarkable philosophy.

Download or read book Mr Beluncle written by V. S. Pritchett and published by Random House Digital, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Like most great comedy,” writes Darin Strauss in his Introduction, “Mr. Beluncle makes sport of the Stuffed Shirt, the Hypocritical Pious Gentleman, and the Tyrant, as well as the Big Spender–and all these descriptions fit a single character: Mr. Beluncle himself.” One of V. S. Pritchett’s most enduring characters, Mr. Beluncle is narcissistic, sanctimonious, and self-indulgent, yet despite these flaws he is undeniably compelling. Readers who follow this quirky British furniture salesman on his seemingly ordinary escapades–shopping for ridiculously expensive houses, attending services at his peculiar church, presiding over a tumultuous family meal–are in for a delightful and disquieting ride. Poignant, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable Mr. Beluncle is an ideal introduction to one of the English language’s most gifted authors.

Download or read book Introduction to Anticipation Studies written by Roberto Poli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theory of anticipation, and establishes anticipation of the future as a legitimate topic of research. It examines anticipatory behavior, i.e. a behavior that ‘uses’ the future in its actual decisional process. The book shows that anticipation violates neither the ontological order of time nor causation. It explores the question of how different kinds of systems anticipate, and examines the risks and uses of such anticipatory practices. The book first summarizes the research on anticipation conducted within a range of different disciplines, and describes the connection between the anticipatory point of view and futures studies. Following that, its chapters on Wholes, Time and Emergence, make explicit the ontological framework within which anticipation finds its place. It then goes on to discuss Systems, Complexity, and the Modeling Relation, and provides the scientific background supporting anticipation. It restricts formal technicalities to one chapter, and presents those technicalities twice, in formal and plain words to advance understanding. The final chapter shows that all the threads presented in the previous chapters naturally converge toward what has come to be called “Discipline of Anticipation”

Download or read book International Sales Terms written by Patrick Ostendorf and published by Beck/Hart. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial chapter provides an introduction into CISG and Swiss law (as proposed proper law of the terms of sale) with respect to such legal areas which do not fall within the scope of the CISG (e.g. transfer of claims, offsetting, periods of limitation, validity of contracts etc.) and examines deviations in this context in comparison with other more significant legal systems (especially Anglo-American law). Additionally important general legal issues regarding international purchase agreements are discussed (incl. American and European export control and antitrust regulations) and ways for effective incorporation of general terms and conditions into international agreements are pointed out (incl. in consideration of the issue regarding colliding terms and conditions). The main section of the book contains annotated international sales conditions (incl. terms of payment, retention of title, delivery obligations, passing of risk, conformity of the goods with the contract and legal remedies in case of non-conforming goods, non-disclosure agreements, limitation of liability, cancellation of an agreement, provisions with respect to choice of law, arbitration court and place of jurisdiction). The content of every provision as well as its effect on the basis of the applicable law are discussed and analyzed in more detail. Alternatives for drafting individual provisions are pointed out for special key terms of the contract.

Download or read book Concrete Semantics written by Tobias Nipkow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I of this book is a practical introduction to working with the Isabelle proof assistant. It teaches you how to write functional programs and inductive definitions and how to prove properties about them in Isabelle’s structured proof language. Part II is an introduction to the semantics of imperative languages with an emphasis on applications like compilers and program analysers. The distinguishing feature is that all the mathematics has been formalised in Isabelle and much of it is executable. Part I focusses on the details of proofs in Isabelle; Part II can be read even without familiarity with Isabelle’s proof language, all proofs are described in detail but informally. The book teaches the reader the art of precise logical reasoning and the practical use of a proof assistant as a surgical tool for formal proofs about computer science artefacts. In this sense it represents a formal approach to computer science, not just semantics. The Isabelle formalisation, including the proofs and accompanying slides, are freely available online, and the book is suitable for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and researchers in theoretical computer science and logic.
