Free Download Studies on the Derveni Papyrus, Volume 2 by Glenn W. Most
2022 | ISBN: 0192855956 | English | 432 pages | EPUB, PDF (True) | 5 + 8 MB
Studies on the Derveni Papyrus, volume II brings together two new editions of the first fragmentarily extant columns of the Derveni Papyrus and seven scholarly articles devoted to their interpretation. The Derveni Papyrus is by far the most important textual discovery of the 20th century regarding early Greek philosophy, religion, exegetical theory and practice, linguistic ideas, and a host of other areas and issues. But the editorial and interpretative history of this extraordinary document has been very checkered. While the interpretation of the better preserved later columns is still highly controversial in many regards, at least the text of those columns has by and large found a scholarly consensus; but the editorial and interpretative situation with the worse preserved first columns is quite different. This volume offers not one but two editions of the first columns, by Richard Janko and by Valeria Piano, given that it is not currently possible to agree upon a single

The reference provides interdisciplinary discussion for diverse II-VI semiconductors with a wide range of topics. The third volume of a three volume set, the book provides an up-to-date account of the present status of multifunctional II-VI semiconductors, from fundamental science and processing to their applications as various sensors, biosensors, and radiation detectors, and based on them to formulate new goals for the further research. The chapters in this volume provide a comprehensive overview of the manufacture, parameters and principles of operation of these devices. The application of these devices in various fields such medicine, agriculture, food quality control, environment monitoring and others is also considered. The analysis carried out shows the great potential of II-VI semiconductor-based sensors and detectors for these applications.

Free Download Alcuin II: Theology and Thought By Douglas Dales
2013 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 0227173945 | PDF | 2 MB
‘Alcuin: Theology and Thought’ is a thorough and wide-ranging consideration of Alcuin’s spiritual and intellectual life as a teacher in York, and later on the Continent as a protagonist in the Adoptionist crisis, as a theologian of mission, and as a fearless and prophetic moral authority. Douglas Dales demonstrates that Alcuin accomplished the pastoral and evangelistic approach set out by his forebears, the Venerable Bede and Gregory the Great, and was instrumental in the reform of the liturgy and proliferation of the Bible. The author examines Alcuin’s surviving works to reveal a depth of human love and spiritual experience that gives resonance to his liturgical writing and prayers, and his sensitivity to the path of penitence, to loyalty to others, to moral rectitude and the desire for holiness. There is no other study in the English language that deals with Alcuin’s theology in depth. Here the author grapples with Alcuin’s doctrinal idiom and theological impetus with sympathy, lucidity, and insight. Douglas Dales was Chaplain of Marlborough College, Wiltshire, from 1984 to 2012 and is now a parish priest in the diocese of Oxford. He is the author of several studies in Anglo-Saxon church history and other areas of theology, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is the author of ‘Alcuin: his Life and Legacy’; ‘Dunstan: Saint and Statesman’; ‘Living Through Dying: The Spiritual Experience of Saint Paul’; and ‘Light to the Isles: Mission and Theology in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Britain’. " ‘Alcuin: Theology and Thought’ complements the forerunner to the volume, Alcuin: His Life and Legacy, also displaying the author’s academic rigour and dexterity. This book will be of immense value to anyone teaching, or learning about, early medieval history as well as theology in universities. Alcuin deserves to be recognised – far more than has often been the case – as a key figure in the evolution of the mediaeval mind; and no one reading this book could fail to see him in this light. This is a fine and welcome tribute to one of the greatest gifts the British Church gave to the wider Catholic fellowship in the early Middle Ages." From the Foreword by Rowan Williams.

Free Download Modern Introductory Mechanics, Part II
English | 2016 | ISBN: 978-8740313154 | 352 pages | EPUB | 10.93 MB
"Modern Introductory Mechanics, Part II" is a continuation of the coverage of topics in classical mechanics found in Part I. The text builds on the previous material and maintains the same spirit of directness and rigor. It is designed to round out the coverage of the important topics in the field, leading to more advanced treatments. Subject matter includes central forces, scattering, non-internal reference frames, rigid bodies, coupled oscillations and special relativity. As in Part I, the many homework problems are directly associated with the development of ideas and topics in the text.
