Reflections: Embracing God's Call for Your Latter Years , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min
Reflections: Embracing God’s Calling for Your Latter Years helps older Christians understand that, even though they have retired and no longer live as they once did, that God still has a list of callings on their lives. The Reflections Bible study outlines at least eight specific areas where God calls older Christians to live for Him, from being a blessing, sharing your wisdom, being a mentor to finding peace, finishing well and looking forward to the majesty and splendor of heaven. This book will share Biblical truths and tell the stories of ordinary Christians that have modeled these callings today. It will encourage readers to reflect back on their lives and look forward to what they can do live a life of significance, meaning and purpose for God. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Plato: The Giants of Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min
Plato was the first great philosopher of the West to organize and record the issues and questions that define philosophy. A student of Socrates, Plato preserved the teachings of his mentor in many famous "dialogues" that deal with classic issues like law and justice, perception and reality, death and the soul, mind and body, reason and passion, and the nature of love. The most famous of all Platonic doctrines is the "theory of forms", the idea that there are changeless, eternal forms on which existing things are modeled. The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Heston.

Andrea Palladio: Studies in World Art, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 6min
Andrea Palladio is the most influential architect who ever lived - much more so than those heroes of the Modern Movement - Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. It is significant that buildings we call "Palladian" are still being built today - for example, by the British architect Quinlan Terry. Palladio’s ideas were disseminated not only by his buildings, but also, even more effectively, by his writings, most notably by his didactic masterpiece, I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura (The Four Books of Architecture), published in 1570. The four books were modeled on contemporary handbooks of grammar and style, and treated architecture as an infinitely flexible visual language, which was nevertheless created from a limited number of components, which could be combined in different ways in order to produce the desired result. ungekürzt.

Temperance and Women Rights Speech, Hörbuch, Digital, 13min
“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal,” Elizabeth Cady Stanton said at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. One-hundred of the 300 convention attendees signed this speech that, modeled on the Constitution, served as a declaration of the women’s rights movement. It drew sharp criticism from all sides for its ruthless critique of men’s role in oppressing women; Stanton did not mince words when she stated, “The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her.” Despite the controversy surrounding it, this stirring composition inspired some to fight, thus paving the way to basic human rights for all.

Peter the Great's African (eBook, ePUB)
Newly translated, unfinished works about power, class conflict, and artistic inspiration by Russia's greatest poet. Alexander Pushkin, Russia's foundational writer, was constantly experimenting with new genres, and this fresh selection ushers readers into his creative laboratory. Politics and history weighed heavily on Pushkin's imagination, and in "Peter the Great's African" he depicts the Tsar through the eyes of one of his closest confidantes, Ibrahim, a former slave, modeled on Pushkin's maternal great-grandfather. At once outsider and insider, Ibrahim offers a sympathetic yet questioning view of Peter's attempt to integrate his vast, archaic empire into Europe. In the witty "History of the Village of Goriukhino" Pushkin employs parody and self-parody to explore problems of writing history, while "Dubrovsky" is both a gripping adventure story and a vivid picture of provincial Russia in the late eighteenth century, with its class conflicts ready to boil over in violence. "The Egyptian Nights," an effervescent mixture of prose and poetry, reflects on the nature of artistic inspiration and the problem of the poet's place in a rapidly changing and ever more commercialized society.- Shop: buecher

Mathematical Modelling with Differential Equations (eBook, ePUB)
Mathematical Modeling with Differential Equations aims to introduce various strategies for modeling systems using differential equations. Some of these methodologies are elementary and quite direct to comprehend and apply while others are complex in nature and require thoughtful, deep contemplation. Many topics discussed in the chapter do not appear in any of the standard textbooks and this provides users an opportunity to consider a more general set of interesting systems that can be modeled. For example, the book investigates the evolution of a "toy universe," discusses why "alternate futures" exists in classical physics, constructs approximate solutions to the famous Thomas-Fermi equation using only algebra and elementary calculus, and examines the importance of "truly nonlinear" and oscillating systems. Features Introduces, defines, and illustrates the concept of "dynamic consistency" as the foundation of modeling. Can be used as the basis of an upper-level undergraduate course on general procedures for mathematical modeling using differential equations. Discusses the issue of dimensional analysis and continually demonstrates its value for both the construction and analysis of mathematical modeling.- Shop: buecher

International Comparative Perspectives on the Treatment of "Urban Diseases" (eBook, ePUB)
With an integration of theories, comparative and empirical studies, this book aims to find a treatment for Beijing's "urban diseases" and coordinate a low-carbon development plan for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in China. Unprecedented industrialization and unconventional urbanization caused a series of "urban diseases" for developing cities across the globe. By summarizing and exploring the evolution and phased characteristics of "urban diseases", the author implements theories across classical sociology, human ecology, community school, and low-carbon city as the base for policy recommendations. This book also provides in-depth examinations and comparative studies of other metropolises' experiences in controlling "urban diseases". Cities such as New York, London, and Tokyo were modeled to propose the most appropriate low-carbon development plan for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. With a focus on developing cities in Northern China, this book will be a great read to all scholars and students of environmental studies, development studies, urban studies, and contemporary China studies. It will also be a great addition for those who are interested in social conflicts and economic development.- Shop: buecher
