A scientific and spiritual exploration of how the healing power of love can transform mind, body, and spirit in individuals and communities, even in times of chaos. A scientific and spiritual exploration of how the healing power of love can transform mind, body, and spirit in individuals and communities, even in times of chaos. Dr. Post's goal through his lifes work is to achieve cultural transformation through a blend of the highest levels of scientific research, spiritual-philosophical reflection, and effective practice. Through more than forty years of research he has created a framework readers can use to foster pure unlimited love and find inner peace regardless of whats going on around them. The framework consists of seven paths for generating inner peace which include: May You Give and Glow; May You Heal with Kindness; May You Follow Your Callings; May You Raise Kind Children; May You Know the One Mind; May You Cherish the Gift of Nature; May You Honor the Spirit of Freedom. By incorporating these mantras into your everyday life, you can intentionally show love and kindness in your interactions and help to create inner peace as well as peace around you. When given from the heart, pure love is unlimited and is comprised of compassion, helping, forgiveness, mirth, respect, celebration, listening, loyalty, creativity, and carefrontation. Dr. Posts work invites readers to embrace pure unlimited love and help create a better world. "Im pleased to see that noted author Dr. Stephen G. Post is addressing themes such as consciousness and interconnectedness in his new book about Seven Paths to Inner Peace. It is my hope that this book will contribute to the flourishing of humanity." --from the foreword by His Holiness The Dalai Lama Autorid: Stephen G. Post, His Holiness the Dalai Lama
New Textbook on Algebraic GeometryThis book introduces the reader to modern algebraic geometry. It presents Grothendieck"s technically demanding language of schemes that is the basis of the most important developments in the last fifty years within this area. A systematic treatment and motivation of the theory is emphasized, using concrete examples to illustrate its usefulness. Several examples from the realm of Hilbert modular surfaces and of determinantal varieties are used methodically to discuss the covered techniques. Thus the reader experiences that the further development of the theory yields an ever better understanding of these fascinating objects. The text is complemented by many exercises that serve to check the comprehension of the text, treat further examples, or give an outlook on further results. The volume at hand is an introduction to schemes. To get startet, it requires only basic knowledge in abstract algebra and topology. Essential facts from commutative algebra are assembled in an appendix. It will be complemented by a second volume on the cohomology of schemes.Introduction.- 1 Prevarieties.- 2 Spectrum of a Ring.- 3 Schemes.- 4 Fiber products.- 5 Schemes over fields.- 6 Local Properties of Schemes.- 7 Quasi-coherent modules.- 8 Representable Functors.- 9 Separated morphisms.- 10 Finiteness Conditions.- 11 Vector bundles.- 12 Affine and proper morphisms.- 13 Projective morphisms.- 14 Flat morphisms and dimension.- 15 One-dimensional schemes.- 16 Examples.Prof. Dr. Ulrich Görtz, Institute of Experimental Mathematics, University Duisburg-Essen Prof. Dr. Torsten Wedhorn, Department of Mathematics, Technical University of Darmstadt Autorid: Ulrich Görtz, Torsten Wedhorn
In 1934 John Hilton, a newly qualified young architect, was surprised to find himself appointed the first Director of Antiquities in the British colony of Cyprus. His technical competence was not in doubt but his authority as director was challenged by a rival who enjoyed the confidence of the Governor. After less than a year Hilton found himself dismissed. The outcry in Cyprus and England at his unfair treatment led to his tenure being extended and his rival's position being abolished. Hilton's memoir, composed forty years later but using family letters written at the time, is his own colourful account of this episode. Written fluently with a wry humour, it reveals how much he enjoyed the challenge of his job despite disliking the conventions of colonial society. His account provides an unusual insight into life in 1930s Cyprus, at the time still a relatively isolated and impoverished British colony. In 1934, John Hilton became the first Director of Antiquities in Cyprus, urgently saving ancient monuments. Despite challenges and dismissal, public outcry extended his tenure. His memoir, written 40 years later, humorously recounts his experiences and insights into 1930s colonial Cyprus. Autorid: John R. Hilton, Nicholas Stanley-Price
Weve worked with teachers to develop versions of our core textbooks that feature reduced content and language level, providing greater support and enabling students of all abilities to progress. Now available for the seven most popular options, these foundation versions help make the GCSE content more accessible and are designed to be easy-to-use alongside the core textbooks in a mixed ability classroom and are also ideal for home learning. How have we made them more accessible? Weve reduced the level of the language to remove difficult words or phrases when possible. All the titles have been reviewed for reading age by a language expert. Easy-to-use alongside the core GCSE textbooks with content covered on each spread matched so you can use both versions together in a mixed ability classroom. More of the difficult words that students need to know are explained in key terms boxes, with definitions repeated through the books to reinforce learning. We've made our explanations more accessible for students targeting a grade 5 or below. Where possible, weve replaced paragraphs of text with easy-to-understand flow diagrams, mind maps or charts so there is significantly less text on the pages for students to tackle. The level of demand in the activities has been reduced and some of the harder ones removed. Exam tips have been re-focused to offer advice so that students of all abilities can secure as many marks as possible. The Preparing for your exam chapters have been thoroughly rewritten with answers and commentary for students working towards a grade 5. New artworks have been added to make explanations more visual.

This volume details the first systematic study of 58 objects found in Yeghegnadzor in 1989, mainly metallic, including two notable bronze belts. The study, part of the Vayots Dzor Project, offers new insights into their cultural attribution, chronology, and discovery context, supported by detailed analysis and photographic documentation. In 1989, construction work in Yeghegnadzor led to the unexpected discovery of a collection of metallic objects, immediately interpreted as Urartian grave goods. Among these, two bronze belts attracted the most scholarly attention, while many of the other items were overlooked. The first publication on this discovery appeared in 1990, followed by only a brief study in 2002. Decades later, a collaborative effort between the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, the Areni-1 Scientific-Research Foundation, the Vayots Dzor Regional Museum, and ISMEO - International Association for Mediterranean and Oriental Studies - led to a systematic reassessment of these artifacts as part of the Vayots Dzor Project (VDP). This volume presents the first comprehensive study of the Yeghegnadzor finds, offering detailed analyses, a fully illustrated catalog, and new insights into their cultural attribution, chronology, and archaeological context. Featuring professional photographic documentation, this work challenges previous interpretations and sheds new light on the significance of these artifacts within the broader history of the region.

From lifestyle trailblazer and author of The Afrominimalist's Guide To Living with Less, a practical guide to move beyond decluttering your space and, instead, declutter your life.Less Is Liberation welcomes those who are tired and weary to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. This is an invitation to understand the interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall wellbeing. For years, the constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platts happiness and health. While taking a personal pause, Christine discovered how her limiting beliefs about selfishness led to self-abandonment and a life of overwhelm. So, she decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less. With the perfect balance of wit and wisdom, Christine shares the necessities to come into alignment with Self and offers a roadmap for anyone ready to do the same. Less Is Liberation is more than a self-help guide, it is a call-to-action to tap into our most underutilized superpower: being intentional with our choices. We do not have to have so many thingswe can choose less. We do not have to have so many obligationswe can choose less. We do not have to have so many prioritieswe can choose less. We do not have to have so many relationships that feel transactionalwe can choose less. We must simply learn how to be intentional about honoring ourselves. Less Is Liberation is an invitation to pause and begin the beautiful work of choosing ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others. It invites us to let go of behaviors that hinder our growth. It is time to embrace less as a gateway to find freedom from our lives of overwhelm, and a pathway to the life we want and deserve. Because we are not here for a life of doing. We are here for a life of being. Autorid: Christine Platt

Lambert Strether, a mild middle-aged American of no particular achievements, is dispatched to Paris from the manufacturing empire of Woollett, Massachusetts. The mission conferred on him by his august patron, Mrs Newsome, is to discover what, or who, is keeping her son Chad in the notorious city of pleasure, and to bring him home. But Strether finds Chad transformed by the influence of a remarkable woman; and as the Parisian spring advances, he himself succumbs tothe allure of the 'vast bright Babylon' and to the mysterious charm of Madame de Vionnet.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in 1811, one of ten children of famous minister Lyman Beecher. She moved to Ohio in 1832 and was introduced to the slavery debates, marrying the professor and staunch abolitionist Calvin Stowe with whom she had seven children. In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Law was passed, punishing anyone who offered runaway slaves food or shelter ¿ she drew on her anger from this to write Uncle Tom's Cabin, which first appeared in an abolitionist newspaper and was then published in book form. It was an immediate bestseller, selling ten thousand copies in its first week of publication and going on to become the second biggest bestseller of the nineteenth century after the Bible. It was hugely influential in the abolition debate, and catapulted Stowe into the spotlight. When President Abraham Lincolm met her he is reported to have described her as ¿the little woman who wrote the book that started this Great War¿. Over the course of her long career she wrote over thirty books and essays, poems and articles. She died in 1896.

A desecrated chapel, a spectral speakeasy, and the bruised outskirts of the French Quarter. The year is 1977, and Roxie Rose is on a tour bus rolling straight through the heart of a supernatural storm. Each gig is a battle, and the price of fame is measured in blood, smoke, and soul. The golden microphone Roxie carries is more than an instrument; it's a levee anchor forged in floodwater and bound by a ghostly pact. Its hum calls to the "serpents"-energy vampires that slither up from the silt of the Mississippi, hungry to feed on the light in her voice. The tour is a thirteen-stop countdown, and with every performance, the collection draws nearer. Silas, the immortal shadow man bound to the pact, fights to protect her. But each rescue costs him years from his own borrowed time, the frost-silver at his temples a stark reminder of the toll. To save him and break the chain, Roxie must defy the Usher-a timeless collector who tallies debts in a spectral ledger-and confront the pact at its source: the kudzu-choked ruins of the original Lantern. Hounded by Vince, the band's sleazy former manager with a lagging shadow and a cursed contract, Roxie and her band must navigate a circuit of haunted venues from St. Louis to New Orleans. With guidance from a voodoo queen and the raw power of her own refusal, Roxie will make a final stand in a ghostly echo of the past, where she must choose between becoming the pact's next sacrifice or shattering the ledger for good. In the haze of the 1970s, where every song is a ward and every silence is a debt, Roxie Rose will prove that even when the house is haunted, the singer doesn't always have to fold. See Roxie in action on YouTube! Just search for Roxie Rose. Each book is accompanied by a song from Roxie.
Chronic pain not only affects the individual experiencing it, but also has a significant impact on their family dynamics.This is a serious issue that we as individuals do not talk about or share to even our families. It drains and deprives us of happiness hence long term suffering and in silence, eventually affecting our work, family and friends in our lives.lives.The complex and multifaceted condition of chronic pain involves the interaction of social, psychological, and biological factors. Understanding the psychological causes of chronic pain is essential for effective management, despite the fact that medical treatments can assist in the management of physical symptoms. The various psychological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of chronic pain have been examined in this essay, which has provided a comprehensive guide to the psychological roots of the condition. People with chronic pain can improve their quality of life and regain control over their symptoms by addressing these psychological factors through evidence-based psychological interventions.
