Silver and Smoke

Silver and Smoke by Van Hoang
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1662517858 | True EPUB | 383 pages | 2 MB
It's the golden age of Hollywood. For two Vietnamese dreamers, success means conjuring a magical break in a spellbinding novel about the frightening price of fame by the author of The Monstrous Misses Mai.

More like sisters than best friends, Issa Bui and Olivia Nong grew up dreaming of becoming movie stars. But for young Vietnamese women in 1930s Hollywood, the MGM back lot seems unreachable. Undeterred, Issa knows she's meant for great things. The blood of shamans runs through her veins. To find fame in this town, for herself and for Olivia, Issa needs to make connections. For starters, with her dead grandmother Bà Ngoại.
Frightening enough in life―Issa's own mother forbade any contact―Bà Ngoại is even more intimidating in death. A formidable presence of smoke, promises, and pacts, Bà Ngoại introduces Issa and Olivia to her friend on the other side: the late Ava Lin Rang, a singularly magnetic Asian star of the silent screen. Ava coaches, encourages, and utilizes her own unique influence to open doors for her determined protégés.
As Issa begins drawing on her own untapped powers, every dream is coming true. But in a city of illusions, at what cost?

Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century

Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century By Eric O. Springsted
2021 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0268200211 | EPUB | 1 MB
This in-depth study examines the social, religious, and philosophical thought of Simone Weil.Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century presents a comprehensive analysis of Weil's interdisciplinary thought, focusing especially on the depth of its challenge to contemporary philosophical and religious studies. In a world where little is seen to have real meaning, Eric O. Springsted presents a critique of the unfocused nature of postmodern philosophy and argues that Weil's thought is more significant than ever in showing how the world in which we live is, in fact, a world of mysteries. Springsted brings into focus the challenges of Weil's original (and sometimes surprising) starting points, such as an Augustinian priority of goodness and love over being and intellect, and the importance of the Crucifixion. Springsted demonstrates how the mystical and spiritual aspects of Weil's writings influence her social thought. For Weil, social and political questions cannot be separated from the supernatural. For her, rather, the world has a sacramental quality, such that life in the world is always a matter of life in God―and life in God, necessarily a way of life in the world.Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century is not simply a guide or introduction to Simone Weil. Rather, it is above all an argument for the importance of Weil's thought in the contemporary world, showing how she helps us to understand the nature of our belonging to God (sometimes in very strange and unexpected ways), the importance of attention and love as the root of both the love of God and neighbor, the importance of being rooted in culture (and culture's service to the soul in rooting it in the universe), and the need for human beings to understand themselves as communal beings, not as isolated thinkers or willers. It will be essential reading for scholars of Weil, and will also be of interest to philosophers and theologians.

Simple Wahrheiten und warum ihnen nicht zu trauen ist

Simple Wahrheiten und warum ihnen nicht zu trauen ist By Marianne Gronemeyer
2006 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 3896782940 | PDF | 1 MB
Alle Tage wird man mit den unterschiedlichsten Selbstverständlichkeiten und Patentlösungen, mit geradezu litaneihaft wiederholten Richtigkeiten konfrontiert. Jeder kennt dergleichen Satzwahrheiten, die in den Medien tagtäglich zu lesen, zu hören, zu sehen sind: Wachstum schafft Arbeitsplätze, Kinder brauchen Kindergärten, Mehr Schule erzeugt mehr Bildung, Erfolg gibt recht, Leistung braucht Konkurrenz, Vorbeugen ist besser als heilen, Vertrauen ist gut, Garantie ist besser. Die Grundfrage, die dieses Buch immer wieder stellt, lautet: Und wenn es nun ganz anders ist? Kann man, sollte man derartigen Wahrheiten nicht grundsätzlich misstrauen?Marianne Gronemeyer stellt in ihrem engagiert geschriebenen Buch allgemein akzeptierte Wahrheiten auf den Prüfstand, ihr Anliegen ist es, deren trügerischen oder sogar betrügerischen Kern offen zu legen. Es geht somit um die Umstülpung von Denkgewohnheiten und darum, die Grundannahmen, die unser politisches und persönliches Handelnleiten, zu erschüttern, ja geradezu auf den Kopf zu stellen: Wachstum vernichtet Arbeitsplätze. Schule macht Bildung knapp. Eine Gesellschaft, die für 100 Prozent ihrer Kinder Kindergartenplätze vorhält, ist möglicherweise kinderfeindlich usw.

George E. Yoos, "Simplifying Complexity"
English | ISBN: 3110450569 | 2016 | 177 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1494 KB + 2 MB
Simplifying complexity explores how to eliminate ignorance, which in the view of the author is the purpose of the sciences and technologies and their consequent developments. The book deals with the plurality of the sciences and technologies. It is about the way in which each of them develops around the prosthetics of printed languages and the models used as visual aids to help us create new modes of communication and solve human problems.

Simulations in Medicine Pre-clinical and Clinical Applications

Irena Roterman-Konieczna, "Simulations in Medicine: Pre-clinical and Clinical Applications"
English | ISBN: 3110406268 | 2015 | 348 pages | EPUB, PDF | 14 MB + 17 MB
Simulations are an integral part of medical education today. Many universities have simulation centers, so-called skills labs, where students and medical personal can practice diagnostics and procedures on life-like mannequins. Others offer simulation courses in the different sub-disciplines. In the pre-clinical phase, simulations are used to illustrate basic principles in physiology, anatomy, genetics, and biochemistry. For example, simulations can show how the metabolism of enzymes changes in the presence of inhibitors, illustrating drug actions.

This book covers all areas of simulations in medicine, starting from the molecular level via tissues and organs to the whole body. At the beginning of each chapter, a biological phenomenon is described, such as cell communication, gene translation, or the action of anti-carcinogenic drugs on tumors. In the following, simulations that illustrate these phenomena are discussed in detail, with the focus on how to use and interpret these simulations. The book is complemented by topics such as serious games and distance medicine.

Sinead O'Connor's Universal Mother

Adele Bertei, "Sinead O'Connor's Universal Mother "
English | ASIN : B0CYY4RYGG | 2025 | 120 pages | EPUB | 250 KB
With Universal Mother, Sinead O'Connor explores childhood trauma and her experiences as a woman, mother, target of scorn, and ultimate phoenix.

Released in the winter of 1994, Universal Mother was the first recorded work from O'Connor since her duo of protests in 1992 (Saturday Night Live, Madison Square Garden). The sadistic blowback she faced for publicly outing the child abuse of the Catholic Church and its cover-up would have destroyed most. Where Sinead might go next, or if she'd ever record again, was the question. It's a testament to her integrity and extraordinary courage that she was able to resurrect with this extraordinary album.
The album takes us on a deeply personal, yet universal journey of womanhood, from the archetypal bad mother to the good and the kind. A feminist statement from Germaine Greer sets the tone, followed by O'Connor letting loose a storm of rage against her abusive mother in "Fire on Bablyon"-a salvo so explosive, it need not be repeated. Other than a song called "Red Football" and a call-out of the truth behind the Irish potato famine, O'Connor is not interested in rage or revenge. With

Single Living a Complete Life on Your Own Terms

Single: Living a Complete Life on Your Own Terms by Nicola Slawson
English | February 11, 2025 | ISBN: 0143137808 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 1.1 MB
An empowering, comforting, and honest exploration of single life, in all its facets

In her thirties and single, journalist Nicola Slawson was sick of reading narratives about how all single women must be miserable and desperate. She wanted stories that reflected her experience, so she started The Single Supplement, a newsletter for single women that didn't patronize them or assume that their only goal in life was finding a partner. The newsletter immediately took off, gaining thousands of followers and winning awards and features. Now Slawson is ready to cement everything she's learned into a book.
Using her personal experiences along with insights gleaned from years of interviews, Slawson offers us an open, witty, and warmhearted exploration of single life, taking an honest look at its challenges but just as keenly celebrating its joys. She writes about feeling left behind and navigating friendships as people get married and have children; managing personal finances, career, ambition, and self-reliance; deciding whether or not to be a single mother; dealing with the shame and stigma of being single; embracing the freedom and happiness that can be found in being single; and so much more.
A vibrant life is within reach for all of us, with or without a partner. Whether you are single long term, recently, keen not to be, happy to be, considering becoming, voluntarily, involuntarily, and so on, Single is an optimistic companion, providing comfort, hope, and understanding to anyone who reads it. It is a reminder that you are not alone, you have what it takes to handle life's challenges, and you deserve to squeeze as much joy as you can out of your life right now, instead of feeling like you're waiting for it to start.

Singularities of Differentiable Maps Volume I: The Classification of Critical Points Caustics and Wave Fronts by V. I. Arnold , S. M. Gusein-Zade , A. N. Varchenko
English | PDF | 1985 | 390 Pages | ISBN : 1461295890 | 25.6 MB
... there is nothing so enthralling, so grandiose, nothing that stuns or captivates the human soul quite so much as a first course in a science. After the first five or six lectures one already holds the brightest hopes, already sees oneself as a seeker after truth. I too have wholeheartedly pursued science passionately, as one would a beloved woman. I was a slave, and sought no other sun in my life. Day and night I crammed myself, bending my back, ruining myself over my books; I wept when I beheld others exploiting science fot personal gain. But I was not long enthralled. The truth is every science has a beginning, but never an end - they go on for ever like periodic fractions. Zoology, for example, has discovered thirty-five thousand forms of life ... A. P. Chekhov. "On the road" In this book a start is made to the "zoology" of the singularities of differentiable maps. This theory is a young branch of analysis which currently occupies a central place in mathematics; it is the crossroads of paths leading from very abstract corners of mathematics (such as algebraic and differential geometry and topology, Lie groups and algebras, complex manifolds, commutative algebra and the like) to the most applied areas (such as differential equations and dynamical systems, optimal control, the theory of bifurcations and catastrophes, short-wave and saddle-point asymptotics and geometrical and wave optics).

Singularities of Differentiable Maps Volume II Monodromy and Asymptotic Integrals

Singularities of Differentiable Maps Volume II Monodromy and Asymptotic Integrals by V. I. Arnold, S. M. Gusein-Zade, A. N. Varchenko
English | PDF | 1988 | 498 Pages | ISBN : 1461284082 | 36.3 MB
The present. volume is the second volume of the book "Singularities of Differentiable Maps" by V.1. Arnold, A. N. Varchenko and S. M. Gusein-Zade. The first volume, subtitled "Classification of critical points, caustics and wave fronts", was published by Moscow, "Nauka", in 1982. It will be referred to in this text simply as "Volume 1". Whilst the first volume contained the zoology of differentiable maps, that is it was devoted to a description of what, where and how singularities could be encountered, this volume contains the elements of the anatomy and physiology of singularities of differentiable functions. This means that the questions considered in it are about the structure of singularities and how they function. Another distinctive feature of the present volume is that we take a hard look at questions for which it is important to work in the complex domain, where the first volume was devoted to themes for which, on the whole, it was not important which field (real or complex) we were considering. Such topics as, for example, decomposition of singularities, the connection between singularities and Lie algebras and the asymptotic behaviour of different integrals depending on parameters become clearer in the complex domain. The book consists of three parts. In the first part we consider the topological structure of isolated critical points of holomorphic functions. We describe the fundamental topological characteristics of such critical points: vanishing cycles, distinguished bases, intersection matrices, monodromy groups, the variation operator and their interconnections and method of calculation.

Singularities of Differentiable Maps, Volume 1: Classification of Critical Points, Caustics and Wave Fronts by V.I. Arnold , S.M. Gusein-Zade , A.N. Varchenko
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 393 Pages | ISBN : 0817683399 | 117.1 MB
​Singularity theory is a far-reaching extension of maxima and minima investigations of differentiable functions, with implications for many different areas of mathematics, engineering (catastrophe theory and the theory of bifurcations), and science. The three parts of this first volume of a two-volume set deal with the stability problem for smooth mappings, critical points of smooth functions, and caustics and wave front singularities. The second volume describes the topological and algebro-geometrical aspects of the theory: monodromy, intersection forms, oscillatory integrals, asymptotics, and mixed Hodge structures of singularities.

The first volume has been adapted for the needs of non-mathematicians, presupposing a limited mathematical background and beginning at an elementary level. With this foundation, the book's sophisticated development permits readers to explore more applications than previous books on singularities.

Six Constitutions Over Texas Texas' Political Identity, 1830-1900

Six Constitutions Over Texas: Texas' Political Identity, 1830-1900
by William J. Chriss and H. W. Brands
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1648431712 | 336 Pages | True ePUB | 10.3 MB

In his foreword to Six Constitutions Over Texas: Texas' Political Identity, 1830-1900, historian H. W. Brands describes the saga surrounding the development of the Texas state constitution as having "the sweep of a Russian novel . . . populated by characters as colorful as any of Tolstoy's." Indeed, even a glance at the table of contents reveals hints of international and regional conflict, intrigue, and shifting political alliances that characterized the rise and-in the case of the first five iterations-fall of the constitutions serving as the guiding document for what was variously a state of Mexico, an independent nation, a member of the Union, a Confederate state, and a newly subdued region under Reconstruction.
This meticulous study by legal historian William J. Chriss examines how Anglo Texans went about creating their political identity over three quarters of a century and the impact of those decisions. By delineating the social, political, military, and other considerations at play during the various stages of Texas' development and how those factors manifested in the various constitutions, Chriss illuminates the process by which various groups constructed Texas "as an imagined community, an identity produced by ideological consensus among economic, cultural, and legal elites."
Replete with insights on the ways in which systems of law impact social control and political identity, Six Constitutions Over Texas offers a fresh view of how shifting political ideologies were canonized with varying degrees of permanency in the state constitution.

Slavery After Slavery: Revealing the Legacy of Forced Child Apprenticeships on Black Families, from Emancipation to the Present by Mary Frances Berry
English | January 21, 2025 | ISBN: 0807007838 | True EPUB | 184 pages | 1.9 MB
An acclaimed historian narrates the stories of newly emancipated children who were re-enslaved by white masters through apprenticeships and their parents fights to free them

While the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, white southerners established a system of apprenticeship after the Civil War that entrapped Black children and their families, leading to undue hardships for generations to come. In Slavery After Slavery, historian Mary Frances Berry traces the stories behind individual cases from southern supreme courts to demonstrate how formerly enslaved families and their descendants were systemically injured through white supremacist practices, perpetuated by the legal system.
By filling in the family trees of formerly enslaved people to their descendants, Berry documents the intergenerational harm they experienced. The resulting damage of trafficking Black children through apprenticeship laws has been a largely overlooked source of inequality, yet these cases provide specific examples of the kind of economic and physical harm Black families have endured.
Slavery After Slavery tells individual stories, but the fates of their descendants tell our collective American story-contributing powerfully to a case for reparations and restorative justice.

Sleep Works Experiments in Science and Literature, 1899-1929

Sleep Works: Experiments in Science and Literature, 1899-1929 (Hopkins Studies in Modernism) by Sebastian P. Klinger
English | January 7, 2025 | ISBN: 1421450798, 1421450801 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 2.9 MB
An exploration of sleep at the intersection of literature, science, and pharmacology in the early twentieth century.

At the turn of the twentieth century, sleep began to be seen not merely as a passive state but as an active, dynamic process crucial to our understanding of consciousness and identity. In Sleep Works, cultural historian and literary scholar Sebastian P. Klinger explores the intriguing connections between scientific inquiry and literary expression during an era when sleep was both a scientific mystery and a cultural fascination.
Scientists, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies were at the forefront of this newfound fascination with sleep: some researchers distinguished sleep from related states such as fatigue and hypnosis, while others investigated sleep disorders and developed treatments for insomnia. Meanwhile, literary giants like Franz Kafka and Marcel Proust grappled with their own sleep disturbances and channeled these experiences into their writing. Through the lens of their discoveries, Klinger reveals the broader implications of sleep for concepts of selfhood and agency.
Tracing the emergence of interdisciplinary sleep science and the cultural production of sleep through literature, Sleep Works weaves together literary analysis, historical context, and research in the archives of the pharmaceutical industry to provide a comprehensive and compelling account of how sleep has been understood, represented, and experienced in the modern era.

Sleight of Mind 75 Ingenious Paradoxes in Mathematics, Physics, and Philosophy

Matt Cook, "Sleight of Mind: 75 Ingenious Paradoxes in Mathematics, Physics, and Philosophy "
English | ISBN: 0262542293 | 2021 | 368 pages | AZW3 | 7 MB
This "fun, brain-twisting book . . . will make you think" as it explores 75+ paradoxes in math, philosophy, physics, and social science (Sean Carroll, New York Times-bestselling author of Something Deeply Hidden).

Paradox is a sophisticated kind of magic trick. A magician's purpose is to create the appearance of impossibility, to pull a rabbit from an empty hat. Yet paradox doesn't require tangibles, like rabbits or hats. Paradox works in the abstract, with words and concepts and symbols, to create the illusion of contradiction. There are no contradictions in reality, but there can appear to be. In Sleight of Mind, Matt Cook and a few collaborators dive deeply into more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, physics, philosophy, and the social sciences. As each paradox is discussed and resolved, Cook helps readers discover the meaning of knowledge and the proper formation of concepts-and how reason can dispel the illusion of contradiction.
The journey begins with "a most ingenious paradox" from Gilbert and Sullivan's

Slow Boat to China and Other Stories

Slow Boat to China and Other Stories (Modern Chinese Literature from Taiwan) by Ng Kim Chew, translated by Carlos Rojas
English | March 1, 2016 | ISBN: 0231168128 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 15.4 MB
"Dream and Swine and Aurora," "Deep in the Rubber Forest," "Fish Bones," "Allah's Will," "Monkey Butts, Fire, and Dangerous Things"―Ng Kim Chew's stories are raw, rural, and rich with the traditions of his native Malaysia. They are also full of humor and spirit, demonstrating a deep appreciation for human ingenuity in the face of poverty, oppression, and exile.

Ng creatively captures the riot of cultures that roughly coexist on the Malay Peninsula and its surrounding archipelago. Their interplay is heightened by the encroaching forces of globalization, which bring new opportunities for cultural experimentation, but also an added dimension of alienation. In prose that is intimate and atmospheric, these sensitively crafted, resonant stories depict the struggles of individuals torn between their ancestral and adoptive homes, communities pressured by violence, and minority Malaysian Chinese in dynamic tension with the Islamic Malay majority. Told through relatable characters, Ng's tales show why he has become a leading Malaysian writer of Chinese fiction, representing in mood, voice, and rhythm the dislocation of a people and a country in transition.
