The Only Moment There Is


Book Description




In the moments passing by, there is always a wish we deny


Book Description

This book is about unconditional love - loving the self, loving God, and loving the life that He gave us. It was written in the aftermath of a phase where I was contemplating suicide. This work is a view from the other side - what happens when you don't kill yourself, but instead pray to the lord God, the Almighty One, and find solace in healing your body, mind, and soul. Mental illnesses are real and can be debilitating. However, if you love your family and friends, you may choose to stay alive just for them. Suicide kills not only the person, but the entire family and leaves a whole community in shock. Do you want to leave behind pain and suffering? Or would you rather not give up and choose to believe that your pain and suffering has a purpose greater than yourself? Let's face it. Life is hard and survival is challenging; but do you know that this journey can feel blissful with the right amount of love and friendship. I hope the next few pages help you in understanding how I cope with my mental illness. Try to grasp that your journey is an experience that God wanted you to have. This experience will help you in growing your consciousness, so you may bloom like the spring flower spreading your fragrance around. The fragrance being your joy that you find in your reality. In essence, the glimpses of joy you will have should be sufficient to tackle the pain. Seek God in all your endeavors!







Everyday Arias


Book Description

Paul Atkinson explores the remarkable world of opera through his fieldwork with the internationally known Welsh National Opera company. In order to show us how cultural phenomena are produced and enacted, he takes us on stage and behind the scenes into the collective social action that goes into the realization of an opera. The author demonstrates how artistic interpretation is translated into the routine work of the rehearsal studio and the theatre, and how producers negotiate a practical reality with her or his performers to ultimately create extraordinary performances through the mundane, everyday work that makes them possible. The author calls for a sustained investigation of cultural phenomena, not based solely on textual analysis but on the importance of collective work and social organization. Atkinson's work will appeal to anthropologists and sociologists who study the performance arts, as well as to those engaged in theatre arts, opera and music.




Random Graphs, Geometry and Asymptotic Structure


Book Description

The theory of random graphs is a vital part of the education of any researcher entering the fascinating world of combinatorics. However, due to their diverse nature, the geometric and structural aspects of the theory often remain an obscure part of the formative study of young combinatorialists and probabilists. Moreover, the theory itself, even in its most basic forms, is often considered too advanced to be part of undergraduate curricula, and those who are interested usually learn it mostly through self-study, covering a lot of its fundamentals but little of the more recent developments. This book provides a self-contained and concise introduction to recent developments and techniques for classical problems in the theory of random graphs. Moreover, it covers geometric and topological aspects of the theory and introduces the reader to the diversity and depth of the methods that have been devised in this context.

Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocodes


Book Description

This fourth edition of a bestselling textbook has been extensively rewritten and expanded in line with the current Eurocodes. It presents the principles of the design of concrete elements and of complete structures, with practical illustrations of the theory. It explains the background to the Eurocode rules and goes beyond the core topics to cover the design of foundations, retaining walls, and water retaining structures. The text includes more than sixty worked out design examples and more than six hundred diagrams, plans, and charts. It suitable for civil engineering courses and is a useful reference for practicing engineers.




More Precisely


Book Description

More Precisely provides a rigorous and engaging introduction to the mathematics necessary to do philosophy. It is impossible to fully understand much of the most important work in contemporary philosophy without a basic grasp of set theory, functions, probability, modality and infinity. Until now, this knowledge was difficult to acquire. Professors had to provide custom handouts to their classes, while students struggled through math texts searching for insight. More Precisely fills this key gap. Eric Steinhart provides lucid explanations of the basic mathematical concepts and sets out most commonly used notational conventions. Furthermore, he demonstrates how mathematics applies to many fundamental issues in branches of philosophy such as metaphysics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and ethics.
