Download or read book Beyond Price written by R. A. Donkin and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1998 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has been intrigued by the origin of pearls, sensitive to their beauty, and convinced of their medicinal value for at least 5 cent. A mixture of folklore and observation preceded the earliest scientific inquiries. Fishing and trade commenced in S. Asia, between India and Sri Lanka and around the Persian Gulf. In W. and Central Europe, Inner Asia and China, and N. Amer. Freshwater pearls were probably known and treasured before those of marine origin. A refined nomenclature points to a long familiarity with etymologically related words for 'pearl'. Pearls were prominent among the luxury products of world trade and were high among the objectives of expeditions to the eastern and western Tropics. Illustrations.

Download or read book The Book of Why written by Judea Pearl and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most pearls in their natural state are not the perfectly round orbs we see in the jewelry store showcase. By the time a pearl gets to the jewelry store showcase it has been refined and polished to show its true beauty. You might say it has been transformed into its true self. In many ways you and I are pearls. We are the result of being covered in layers and layers of life-events. These events shape us and mold our personalities and outlook on life. Only when we allow God's love and grace to polish and transform us by polishing away the residue of life's difficulties and the sin in our lives can we be seen for who we truly are. So for all the love that was never shown, all the birthdays never celebrated, the accomplishments never recognized, hugs never given, hair bows never tied, and the childhood you were never allowed to enjoy...this book is for you. It is your reminder that God loves you. Cherishes you. Adores you. He is ready and waiting to polish you and bring you to your most beautiful self.

Book excerpt: DIVDIVDIVLost for forty years, a new novel by the author of The Good Earth/divDIV The Eternal Wonder tells the coming-of-age story of Randolph Colfax (Rann for short), an extraordinarily gifted young man whose search for meaning and purpose leads him to New York, England, Paris, a mission patrolling the DMZ in Korea that will change his life forever—and, ultimately, to love./divDIV Rann falls for the beautiful and equally brilliant Stephanie Kung, who lives in Paris with her Chinese father and has no contact with her American mother, who abandoned the family when Stephanie was six years old. Both Rann and Stephanie yearn for a sense of genuine identity. Rann feels plagued by his voracious intellectual curiosity and strives to integrate his life of the mind with his experience in the world. Stephanie feels alienated from society by her mixed heritage and struggles to resolve the culture clash of her existence. Separated for long periods of time, their final reunion leads to a conclusion that even Rann, in all his hard-earned wisdom, could never have imagined./divDIV A moving and mesmerizing fictional exploration of the themes that meant so much to Pearl Buck in her life, The Eternal Wonder is perhaps her most personal and passionate work, and will no doubt appeal to the millions of readers who have treasured her novels for generations./div/div/div
