Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a rich and accessible introduction to contemporary research on Buddhist ethical thought for interested students and scholars, yet also offers chapters taking up more technical philosophical and textual topics. A Mirror is For Reflection offers a snapshot of the present state of academic investigation into the nature of Buddhist Ethics, including contributions from many of the leading figures in the academic study of Buddhist philosophy. Over the past decade many scholars have come to think that the project of fitting Buddhist ethical thought into Western philosophical categories may be of limited utility, and the focus of investigation has shifted in a number of new directions. This volume includes contemporary perspectives on topics including the nature of Buddhist ethics as a whole, karma and rebirth, mindfulness, narrative, intention, free will, politics, anger, and equanimity.

Download or read book Computer Graphics from Scratch written by Gabriel Gambetta and published by No Starch Press. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer Graphics from Scratch demystifies the algorithms used in modern graphics software and guides beginners through building photorealistic 3D renders. Computer graphics programming books are often math-heavy and intimidating for newcomers. Not this one. Computer Graphics from Scratch takes a simpler approach by keeping the math to a minimum and focusing on only one aspect of computer graphics, 3D rendering. You’ll build two complete, fully functional renderers: a raytracer, which simulates rays of light as they bounce off objects, and a rasterizer, which converts 3D models into 2D pixels. As you progress you’ll learn how to create realistic reflections and shadows, and how to render a scene from any point of view. Pseudocode examples throughout make it easy to write your renderers in any language, and links to live JavaScript demos of each algorithm invite you to explore further on your own. Learn how to: Use perspective projection to draw 3D objects on a 2D plane Simulate the way rays of light interact with surfaces Add mirror-like reflections and cast shadows to objects Render a scene from any camera position using clipping planes Use flat, Gouraud, and Phong shading to mimic real surface lighting Paint texture details onto basic shapes to create realistic-looking objects Whether you’re an aspiring graphics engineer or a novice programmer curious about how graphics algorithms work, Gabriel Gambetta’s simple, clear explanations will quickly put computer graphics concepts and rendering techniques within your reach. All you need is basic coding knowledge and high school math. Computer Graphics from Scratch will cover the rest.

Download or read book Relationships Reflection of the Image of God written by Crawford Clark and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many couples struggling in their relationships with each other. Couples, who are dating and who are married, are settling for less than God's best. There are several reasons why, but perhaps there is a lack of understanding about the dynamics and expectations of their relationships. God lets us know He has a plan for our lives as well as our relationships. That plan for couples is to reflect His Image. In order to be able to look like God, we must be willing to look at what God intended for us and examine how we got into the predicament that many couples find themselves. There is an enemy that constantly tries to keep you thinking that you are okay in your relationship with God and your life mate. Can we honestly say that we are where we need to be in our relationship with God and with each other? In this book, you will find out from Genesis how God created us in His Image and how we are able to live His image every day in our lives. He created us to be a reflection of His image and that image reveals itself in many ways. Every couple can be that reflection, even if you find your relationship or marriage in shambles. This book offers you the answers and the steps to grow as a couple through Christ. As a couple, you can reflect the presence of Jesus and truly inspire others. This can happen, if you allow the word of God and the Holy Spirit to transform your relationship to be a powerful witness for Christ. You can become a Reflection of His Image.

Nicholas Torrington, Queen’s agent, is running out of time. While work has him chasing his tail, his sister grows increasingly ill, and Colleen, the woman he would make his bride, has acquired another, determined suitor. To coax his favorite thief back into his arms, he’ll break every rule and lead her through the underbelly of London on a hunt for a mad scientist and a cure for his sister.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Z. Levine provides a new understanding of the life and work of Claude Monet and the myth of the modern artist. Levine analyzes the extensive critical reception of Monet and the artist's own prolific writings in the context of the story of Narcissus, popular in late nineteenth-century France. Through a careful blending of psychoanalytical theory and historical study, Levine identifies narcissism and obsession as driving forces in Monet's art and demonstrates how we derive meaning from the accumulated verbal responses to an artist's work.

Lent is covered in chapter 3, the Sacred Paschal Triduum in chapter 4, and the fifty days of the Easter season in chapter 5. Chapter 6 covers Ordinary Time. And chapter 7 presents a short reflection for every solemnity, feast, and memorial of saints, whose special day falls during the liturgical year. The short reflections are based on sets of Mass texts--Entrance Antiphon, Collect, Prayer over the Offerings, Preface, Communion Antiphon, Prayer after Communion, and Prayer over the People--presented for every day of Advent and Christmas, Lent and Easter, Ordinary Time and saints in The Roman Missal. The reflection identifies the theme of the day and presents how it is manifested in the Mass texts.
