But when the Reno Police Department brings him in on a homicide case, Gavin doesn't see things as cut-n-dry as everyone else.

A Voyage to Arcturus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 662min

On a whim, a man takes a trip to the stars offered by a relative stranger...and within four days, he's murdered six people, fallen in love, and met God twice. Don't worry about the third ear growing on his forehead. Or that pesky third arm.Written in 1920, David Lindsay's seminal work of science fiction is the first of its kind to introduce allegorical writing to the budding genre, examining in fanciful, colorful, and often hallucinogenic strokes the nature of good, evil, and life itself told through the lens of an epic journey across a treacherous alien world.A classic in its time, both H.P. Lovecraft and JRR Tolkien mentioned it as an influence in their own famous works, and this is evident in the mystic powers, strange creatures, and memorable characters met along the way.This audiobook is voiced by the classically trained actor Jason Keller, so sit back, relax, and let David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus take you beyond the stars. ungekürzt.

Meeting Melanchthon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min

Most scholars consider Melanchthon to be a Reformation enigma. He, the developer of the Reformation doctrine of forensic justification, is contrarily condemned as a synergist. Known well as the Protestant preceptor of Germany, he was Martin Luther's lifelong friend, colleague, teacher of Greek, and fellow reformer.Upon arriving at Wittenberg, Melanchthon was a theologian neither by trade nor by training. He was a classically trained expert in classical languages, neo-Latin poet, textbook author, Greek scholar, humanist, and above all, an educator.Though he was offered a doctorate on several occasions, he was not a doctor of theology. Yet, his influence on the protestant reformation of the 16th century is profound, both through the Loci Communes (the first Lutheran systematic theology) and the Augsburg Confession both of which came from his pen.Dr. Scott Keith, who has spent much time studying and translating this great reformer, has written this short biography by way of introduction. Also, Melanchthon speaks for himself in fresh translations of his work. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Macare.

The Pianist's Guide to Historic Improvisation (eBook, PDF)

Keyboard artists in the time of J.S. Bach were simultaneously performers, composers, and improvisers. By the twentieth century, however, the art of improvisation was all but lost. Today, vanishingly few classically-trained musicians can improvise with fluent, stylistic integrity. Many now question the system of training that leaves players dependent upon the printed page, and would welcome a new approach to musicianship that would enable modern performers to recapture the remarkable creative freedom of a bygone era. The Pianist's Guide to Historic Improvisation opens a pathway of musical discovery as the reader learns to improvise with confidence and joy. Useful as either a college-level textbook or a guide for independent study, the book is eminently practical. Author John Mortensen explains even the most complex ideas in a lucid, conversational tone, accompanied by hundreds of musical examples. Mortensen pairs every concept with hands-on exercises for step-by-step practice of each skill. Professional-level virtuosity is not required; players of moderate skill can manage the material. Suitable for professionals, conservatory students, and avid amateurs, The Pianist's Guide leads to mastery of improvisational techniques at the Baroque keyboard.

Shin Hanga

Twentieth-century Japanese printmaking has come in for relatively little attention. Classic Hokusai and Hiroshige landscapes and Utamaro's beautiful images of women remain the dominant form.All the same, since the 1990s museums and private collectors have shown a growing interest in shin hanga ('new prints'): balanced designs printed on luxurious paper, with the finest pigments and in smaller editions. They are the fruit of the traditional yet highly successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block-cutter and printer.It is not so much in their subject matter as their visual language that shin hanga prints set themselves apart from their traditional precursors. Where the classically depicted women were stylized and idealized, their more recent counterparts are based on real models, individually recognizable and full of emotion. The modern landscapes, meanwhile, are impressionistic rather than figurative, using a range of colour nuances to achieve highly atmospheric results.This book offers a unique selection with which to explore twentieth-century Japanese printmaking. The prints it reproduces are mostly drawn from two large private collections, and, by way of great exception, items from the family collection of the publisher Watanabe, the man who started it all.

Mathematical Game Theory

What is a game? Classically, a game is perceived as something played by human beings. Its mathematical analysis is human-centered, explores the structures of particular games, economic or social environments and tries to model supposedly "rational" human behavior in search of appropriate "winning strategies". This point of view places game theory into a very special scientific corner where mathematics, economics and psychology overlap and mingle. This book takes a novel approach to the subject. Its focus is on mathematical models that apply to game theory in particular but exhibit a universal character and thus extend the scope of game theory considerably. This textbook addresses anyone interested in a general game-theoretic view of the world. The reader should have mathematical knowledge at the level of a first course in real analysis and linear algebra. However, possibly more specialized aspects are further elaborated and pointers to relevant supplementary literature are given. Moreover, many examples invite the reader to participate "actively" when going through the material. The scope of the book can be covered in one course on Mathematical Game Theory at advanced undergraduate or graduate level.
