Download or read book Capistrano written by Merlin T. Williams and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story for the Baby Boom generation and for their progeny as well. This is a tale for anyone who has wistfully dreamed of personal fulfillment. For those who contemplate the shedding of the shackles of conformity, of repetitive task completion, of living to satisfy the expectations of others, Michael Campbell is a man well worth meeting. Michael defi nes his own, Castle in Spain, his statement of individual dream fulfillment and he works tirelessly to achieve it. Michaels singular focus becomes a beacon to others. Some raft together with him to his immense benefit while others become steadfast in their attempts to sink him. Capistrano, a club for gentlemen in the heart of Metro Manila, rises to become the premier night spot in a city famous for its ability to gratify the nocturnal, nefarious desires of those who enjoy the embrace of business success. And those, as well, in sequined splendor, whose agenda it is to satisfy those needs, to achieve their own goals. Capistrano is, in microcosm, South East Asia in the late 1980s. At once a bastion of sensual overload, it houses the unholy alliance of those with means and those who trade in their desires. Capistrano will make you laugh out loud, it will make you cry, and, in the process make you think about your own present and what possibilities lie untapped within.
Download or read book Grothendieck Serre Correspondence written by Alexandre Grothendieck and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The letters presented in the book were mainly written between 1955 and 1965. During this period, algebraic geometry went through a remarkable transformation, and Grothendieck and Serre were among central figures in this process. The reader can follow the creation of some of the most important notions of modern mathematics, like sheaf cohomology, schernes, Riemann-Roch type theorems, algebraic fundamental group, motives. The letters also reflect the mathematical and political atmosphere of this period (Bourbaki, Paris, Harvard, Princeton, war in Algeria, etc.) Also included are a few letters written between 1984 and 1987. The letters are supplemented by J.-P. Serre's notes, which give explanations, corrections, and references further results." "The book should be useful to specialists in algebraic geometry, in history of mathematics, and to all mathematicians who want to understand how great mathematics is created."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Advanced Geostatistics in the Mining Industry written by M. Guarascio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1976-07-31 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Prof. Hatheron was asked to delineate the history of geostatistics, he objected that such discipline is still too "young" to be treated from a historical point of view. The more and more increasing practical applications requiring newer and newer methodologies would rather suggest the necessity of empha sizing the steps taken and the results obtained up to now. The reason of certain epistemological choices as well as the difficul ties and success in establishing a dialogue with the people most likely to benefit from the results of geostatistics are necessary premises to understand the present status of this discipline. The human bearing of characters of the persons that have introduc ed and studied this science blending theory with economic prac tics is a factor playing a not inconsiderable role in the develop ment of geostatistics. These concepts were the guidelines in organizing the ASI-Geo stat 75. Canada, France and Italy are three different situations in an industrial and academic context, especially in the interac tion between these fields. Yet it was our impression that the time had come to assemble experts, scholars, and other people in terested in geostatistics in order to evaluate its present posi tion on various levels in the different countries and to discuss its future prospects. Prof. Hatheron and Hr. Krige as well as other prominent people were of the same opinion.

Book excerpt: Neuf dieux gouvernaient jadis le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'une ultime trahison ne les mène à leur perte. Depuis, le monde se meurt et seul le retour des Dieux disparus pourra le sauver. Le Royaume de Piedre est déchiré par des guerres intestines depuis que le Basilic a été retrouvé mort. La Confrérie de la Rose-Noire cherche le moyen de détruire ce dernier pour de bon, tandis que l'Ordre de la Rose-Blanche désespère de trouver le moyen de lui rendre toute sa puissance. La dernière réincarnation mortelle en date du Dieu disparu de la Mort est le Prince Culebra, autrement appelé le Prince-Basilic. Harcelé par des assassins, l'un de ses amants mort, l'autre disparu, Culebra passe ses journées empli de désespoir, parfaitement conscient que ses prédécesseurs ont tous connu la mort de seulement deux façons : l'assassinat ou le suicide.

Download or read book The Photoromance written by Paola Bonifazio and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating feminist reading of an often scorned medium: the storytelling, cross-platform success, and female fandom of the photoromance. Born in Italy and successfully exported to the rest of the world, photoromances had a readership of millions in the postwar years. By the early 1960s, more than ten million Italians read a photoromance each week. Despite its popularity, the photoromance--a form of graphic storytelling that uses photographs instead of drawings--was widely scorned as a medium, and its largely female audience derided as naive, pathetic, and uneducated. In this provocative book, Paola Bonifazio offers another perspective, making a case for the relevance of the photoromance for both feminism and media culture. She argues that the photoromance pioneered storytelling across platforms, elevated characters and artists into brands, and nurtured a devoted fan base. Moreover, Bonifazio shows that female readers--condescended to by intellectuals, journalists, and politicians of both the left and the right--powered the Italian photoromance industry's success.
Download or read book The Deuteronomist s History written by Hans Ausloos and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Deuteronomist’s History, Hans Ausloos provides for the first time a detailed status quaestionis concerning the relationship between the books Genesis–Numbers and the so-called Deuteronom(ist)ic literature. After a presentation of the origins of the 18th and 19th century hypothesis of a Deuteronom(ist)ic redaction, specific attention is paid to the argumentation used during the last century. Particular interest also is paid to the concept of the proto-Deuteronomist and the mostly tentative approaches of the Deuteronom(ist)ic ‘redaction’ of the Pentateuch during the last decades. The book concludes with a critical review and preview of the Deuteronom(ist)ic problem. Each phase in the Deuteronomist’s history is illustrated on the basis of the epilogue of the Book of the Covenant (Exod. 23:20-33).

Download or read book Pourquoi Je Dois Mourir Comme J sus Et Louis Riel written by Jacques Prince and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vie de Louis Riel vue d'un autre il! Lumière sur la vie de Louis Riel, lumière du monde. Voir Matthieu 5, 14. Louis Riel était aussi la salière du monde et le monde l'a brisé en l'exécutent. Voir aussi Matthieu 5, 13. Vous êtes le sel de la terre. Mais si le sel perd sa saveur, avec quoi la remplacera-t-on? Il ne sert plus qu'à être jeté dehors et foulé aux pieds par les hommes.' Des dizaines d'écrivains ont écrit sur la vie, la mort et la carrière de Louis Riel, mais ils ont surtout parlé de ses activités politiques et de rébellion. Moi je vous parlerai principalement de ses rapports avec Dieu et qu'il avait les mêmes préoccupations que Jésus avait dans ce monde, c'est-à-dire de délivrer son peuple et de le conduire vers Dieu. Louis Riel avait compris tout comme Jésus que la religion, surtout celle dont la tête est à Rome, était un esclavage épouvantable et qu'il fallait définitivement s'en séparer. C'est donc pour cette raison que le gouvernement de Sir John A. Macdonald pressé par les églises chrétiennes a trouvé le moyen de l'éliminer de cette terre malgré les protestations qui fusaient de toutes parts. Louis Riel devait donc subir le même sort que celui qui l'a inspirer, Jésus de Nazareth, et c'est exactement pourquoi je m'attends à la même conclusion, puisque je fais la même chose, c'est-à-dire, ouvrir les yeux du monde.
Download or read book An Algebraic Introduction to Complex Projective Geometry written by Christian Peskine and published by . This book was released on 1843 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this introduction to commutative algebra, the author choses a route that leads the reader through the essential ideas, without getting embroiled in technicalities. He takes the reader quickly to the fundamentals of complex projective geometry, requiring only a basic knowledge of linear and multilinear algebra and some elementary group theory. The author divides the book into three parts. In the first, he develops the general theory of noetherian rings and modules. He includes a certain amount of homological algebra, and he emphasizes rings and modules of fractions as preparation for working with sheaves. In the second part, he discusses polynomial rings in several variables with coefficients in the field of complex numbers. After Noether's normalization lemma and Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, the author introduces affine complex schemes and their morphisms; he then proves Zariski's main theorem and Chevalley's semi-continuity theorem. Finally, the author's detailed study of Weil and Cartier divisors provides a solid background for modern intersection theory. This is an excellent textbook for those who seek an efficient and rapid introduction to the geometric applications of commutative algebra.

Book excerpt: Neuf dieux gouvernaient jadis le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'une ultime trahison ne les mène à leur perte. Depuis, le monde se meurt et seul le retour des Dieux disparus pourra le sauver. Isolée du monde depuis neuf cents ans, la Schatten est un pays d'ombres et de mystères. Le pouvoir de Teufel, l'Ombre du Licht déchu, maintient les étrangers à l'écart, et ses dangereuses Sentinelles empêchent les gens du pays de s'en échapper. Leur seul espoir de salut réside dans l'unique phrase d'une antique prophétie. Sasha se réveille sans aucun souvenir : il ignore où il est, comment il y est arrivé... et même qui il est. Tout ce dont il se rappelle, c'est son nom, et d'avoir été à la merci d'un monstre aux yeux violets. Tout ce qu'il possède sont les vêtements qu'il a sur le dos, les armes à sa ceinture, et un étrange anneau. Tout ce qu'il lui reste à faire, c'est explorer le pays de glace et de neige dans lequel il s'est perdu, dans l'espoir d'un jour trouver des réponses.
Download or read book Des d dicaces sans th onyme de Palmyre written by Aleksandra Kubiak-Schneider and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les 203 dédicaces votives en araméen de Palmyre de la période entre IIe et IIIe siècle de n.è. intriguent par 3 dénominations divines : « Béni (soit) son nom pour l’éternité », « Maître de l’Univers » et « le Miséricordieux ». Des études précédentes ont postulé univoquement l’anonymat divin. En étant déçu par cette explication du phénomène des inscriptions palmyréniennes, le livre Des dédicaces sans théonyme de Palmyre : Béni (soit) son nom pour l’éternité a pris pour le point de départ les concepts de remerciement et de louange, en découvrant l’existence d’un hymne rituel comme origine de la formule « Béni (soit) son nom pour l’éternité ». Qui sont donc des dieux, des récepteurs des dédicaces de Palmyre ? Peut-on combiner un nom propre d’un dieu avec ces trois formules ? Ce livre répond à ces questions flagrantes. 203 Palmyrene-Aramaic votive inscriptions from the period between the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE contain three intriguing designations of the gods: “Blessed (be) his name forever”, “Master of the Universe” and “the Merciful”. Previous studies have claimed that the god to whom these inscriptions are addressed is anonymous. Not satisfied with this explanation, Des dédicaces sans théonyme de Palmyre: Béni (soit) son nom pour l’éternité addresses the phenomenon through the lens of thanksgiving and praise, revealing the existence of a contemporary ritual hymn, the origin of the Palmyrene formula “Blessed his name forever”. Who, then, were these gods, the recipients of the dedications? Can we find a match between the formulae and a proper name? This book provides answers to these fascinating questions.
