In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. Paul Davies' The Mind of God: Science and the Search for Ultimate Meaning explores how modern science is beginning to shed light on the mysteries of our existence. Is the universe - and our place in it - the result of random chance, or is there an ultimate meaning to existence? Where did the laws of nature come from? Were they created by a higher force, or can they be explained in some other way? How, for example, could a mechanism as complex as an eye have evolved without a creator? Paul Davies argues that the achievement of science and mathematics in unlocking the secrets of nature mean that there must be a deep and significant link between the human mind and the organization of the physical world. In this quest for an ultimate explanation of the universe, he examines the origin of the cosmos, the possibility of other universes and the claim that we inhabit a kind of gigantic computer. The universe is, he concludes, no mere quirk of fate but a meaningful place for thinking beings. Through science, we can truly glimpse the mind of God. 'Makes us re-examine the great questions of existence' The New York Times 'The greatest achievement of the book is to provide an insight into the nature of science itself and the uncertainties that lie in the physical realm' John Gribbin, Sunday Times 'For those brought up on a diet of Adam and Eve, The Mind of God will make surprising reading' Independent Paul Davies is Director of the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative, both at Arizona State University. An internationally-acclaimed physicist, writer and broadcaster, Davies is the author of some twenty award-winning books, including The Eerie Silence: Searching for Ourselves in the Universe, The Goldilocks Enigma: Why is the Universe Just Right for Life? and About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution.

In den WarenkorbTaschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Step into a world where desire and control collide, where vulnerability is as dangerous as it is irresistible. The Master's Whisper is an intoxicating journey into the realms of power, passion, and raw emotion-a story that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.Sophie Blake is a woman of sharp wit and unwavering independence. As a journalist, her career is built on uncovering the truth and keeping her heart firmly guarded. But her latest assignment challenges everything she thought she knew about herself. Sent to profile the enigmatic billionaire Daniel Axton, Sophie steps into a realm of opulence and mystery. Daniel isn't just a man of wealth; he's a master of control-a man who dominates every room he enters and shields his past behind an impenetrable wall of sophistication.From the moment Sophie meets Daniel, the air between them crackles with unspoken tension. He is magnetic, his every word laced with intrigue, his gaze a silent invitation to explore the depths of his world. But Daniel's allure is more than skin deep. Beneath the tailored suits and commanding demeanor lies a man haunted by his own vulnerabilities, a man whose heart is as untamed as the passions he keeps hidden.As Sophie delves deeper into Daniel's world, she finds herself caught in a dance of power and seduction. He challenges her independence, breaking through her defenses with a precision that leaves her reeling. Their connection is electric, a push-and-pull of resistance and surrender. Sophie is torn-between her professional duty and her growing attraction, between her fear of losing control and her desire to explore the uncharted territory of her own heart.The story intensifies as Sophie begins to uncover the secrets that define Daniel. Behind the facade of the powerful billionaire lies a man shaped by loss and a hunger for something real. For every layer she peels back, Sophie finds herself falling deeper-not just for Daniel, but for the vulnerability he entrusts her with. Their bond becomes a battlefield where love, fear, and control clash, testing their limits in ways neither of them could have predicted.But love is never simple. As Sophie and Daniel navigate the intricate dance of passion and restraint, they are forced to confront their deepest fears. For Sophie, it's the terrifying vulnerability of giving in to love. For Daniel, it's the possibility of losing the iron grip he has on his life. Together, they must decide: will they hold on to their carefully constructed walls, or will they risk everything to discover the freedom that comes with letting go The Master's Whisper is more than a romance; it's an exploration of the delicate balance between independence and intimacy, between surrender and strength. It's a story for those who crave intensity-for readers who want to feel every heartbeat, every stolen glance, every whispered promise.This book is for anyone who's ever been captivated by the thrill of the unknown, for anyone who's felt the raw pull of attraction that defies logic and reason. It's for those who believe in the power of love to transform, to heal, and to ignite the soul.Provocative, seductive, and deeply emotional, The Master's Whisper invites you into a world where passion knows no bounds and the strongest bonds are the ones we choose to loosen. Sophie and Daniel's journey will make you question what it means to truly let go-and whether love is worth the risk of losing control.With its blend of steamy romance, psychological depth, and unforgettable characters, The Master's Whisper promises to be a story you won't be able to put down. Surrender to the whisper, and let the journey begin.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Good. Millions of readers have turned to Elaine Pagels for her clear and insightful books about the Gnostic Gospelsthe teachings of Jesus that have been lost for centuries. Sounds True is proud to present the first widely available audio recording of this extraordinary scholar as she explores the text that has changed the way many of us think about the message of Christ: The Gospel of Thomas. The stunning archaeological discovery of these lost scriptures of early Christianity in 1945 has revealed exciting new dimensions to the wisdom passed on from Jesus to his disciples. In her analysis of this revived gospel, Dr. Pagels reveals that Thomas was not a doubter of Christ; rather, his thoughtful inquiries reflected and brought out the deepest truths that Jesus had to offer. Thomas' account depicts a Jesus who taught us that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a separate realm, but a state of divinity that we all can reach. He is even called the twin of Jesusa metaphor for the possibility that all of us can achieve the same state of divine grace embodied by Jesus. Elaine Pagels has riveted readers and audiences everywhere with her clear and provocative explorations of the testaments of early Christianity. The Gospel of Thomas gives you a first opportunity to join her in charting a wider horizon of Christian spirituality. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

After rebelling against the dictatorial jock president of the film club, he and his worst and only friend, the diabolical creep Ozu, are personas non grata on campus. For two years, our protagonist has made all the wrong decisions, and now he's about to make another mistake. He and Ozu are preparing for revenge-a fireworks attack at the film club's welcoming party for new members. Then, a chance encounter with a self-proclaimed god sets the confused and distraught young man on a new course. Destiny will bring him together with Akashi, the blunt but charming sophomore he has a crush on-if he's brave enough to make a move. Yet our protagonist cannot get beyond his profound disillusionment and the moment is lost. But what if there's a universe where he did join the club of his dreams, ditched Ozu for good, and was confident enough to get the girl A realm of possibility opens up for our protagonist as time rewinds, and from the four-and-a-half-mat tatami floor of his dorm room, he is plunged into a series of adventures that will take him to four parallel universes. In each universe, he is given the opportunity to start over as a freshman, in search of a rose-colored campus life.The inspiration behind the much-loved anime series, Tomihiko Morimi's contemporary classic is a fantastic journey through time and space, where a half-eaten castella cake, a photograph from Rome, and a giant cavity in a wisdom tooth hold the keys to self-discovery. A time-traveling romp that speaks to everyone who has wondered what if, The Tatami Galaxy will win readers' hearts over . . . and over . . . and over again.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Institut für Anglistik), course: Literature and Metamorphosis, language: English, abstract: A Midsummer Night s Dream (from here on in referred to simply as Midsummer), Shakespeare s popular comedy about the fickleness and difficulty of love, has been written around 1594 and 1596, most likely as an entertainment piece for a royal festivity (Barber, 1959). An often cited and likely possibility for its first performance was the wedding reception of one Elizabeth Carey, a godchild of Queen Elizabeth I. to Thomas, son of Lord Berkely, which took place in February of 1596 (Holland, 1995). Still this remains speculative and it is not the only uncertainty surrounding Midsummer. Together with The Tempest and Love s Labours Lost it is one few examples in Shakespeare s canon in which no singular source text can be identified to serve as a basis for the poet s interpretation. Although, as will be shown later it contains references to an array of literary texts, most famously Ovid s Metamorphoses, not all aspects of its plot can be traced (Brown and Johnson, 2000). A case in point is the fairy realm and the fairies themselves. It appears that Shakespeare may have taken his cue from English, Irish and Germanic folk legends, which in some cases featured malicious fairies, but the idea of the tiny, winged and ultimately good-natured creatures, an image which has become lodged into popular consciousness ever since, did not exist in Shakespearian times and has thus been first conceived by Shakespeare himself (Pfeiffer, 1971). Furthermore the play is a composite of four individual strands of narration, artistically interweaved. Therefore, whereas for instance the royal realm represented by Theseus and Hippolyta, is derived from Greek mythology, the blending together of the four realms within a coherent narrative is an original Shakespearean formulation. The fact that Shakespeare does combine and blend together these different narrative strands, the mythical dimension with the physical reality of palace life, will be shown to correspond to the overriding theme of Midsummer: That of transformation and recombination, a proposition which will be investigated in the analysis presented here.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 100.00, , course: EMBC - Neoliberalism and Conservation, language: English, abstract: Neoliberalist economic policy is one of the main driving forces in world governance in the 21st Century. Unfortunately, its attributes (individual property rights, unrestrained competition, deregulation, privatisation, short-term profit, risk-propensity, lack of safeguards, globalisation) seem to be completely at odds with environmental sustainability. Neoliberal policy may be the major reason for the failure of governments to form proper environmental protection guarantees for the security of future generations. This is particularly apparent in the context of climate change, where corporate and environmental interests consistently clash, and fisheries, where the commercialization of species may threaten future food security.In this essay, I ask if it is possible to reconcile neoliberalism with marine conservation, with focus on fisheries management. I begin by describing failures to protect natural environments, and the particular characteristics of the marine realm and of neoliberalism that are of relevance in the conflict between economic and environmental interests. I go on to explain the interplay between these factors, and the effect of resulting policies on environmental sustainability. I consider the role of the valuation of natural capital as a major area of debate in terms of the possibility for reconciliation.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,7, University of Hohenheim (Financial Management), course: Master seminary 'Counterparty credit risk', language: English, abstract: The current interest in the topic of counterparty credit risk (CCR) and its exposure measurement began with the upcoming of the financial crisis, or to be more precise the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Before then, the default of a counterparty of that size was out of the realm of possibility. The default of a counterparty that formerly was assumed as 'too big to fail' prompted the need for a reconsideration of credit risk (Moser 2014, p. 429). Among the scope of topics associated with CCR, the determination of the exposure amount is seemingly trivial, but turns out to be highly complex due to the impact of risk mitigants, and the uncertainty involved.Canabarro and Duffie define counterparty exposure as the larger of zero and the market value of the portfolio of derivative positions with a counterparty that would be lost if the counterparty defaults and there is zero recovery. If the contract value is positive for the bank at the point of the counterparties' default, the banks net loss equals the contract's market value. If the contract value is negative, the bank does not gain anything but has a net loss of zero. From a regulatory point of view the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) aims to identify the exposure at default (EAD) which is up stake in the case of a counterparty's default, which then has to be backed due to capital requirements.In this main section of the paper an indepth analysis on the characteristics of credit risk exposure and its quantification will be conducted.At first, the used metrics will be outlined, their characteristics described, and the risk mitigants netting and collateral considered. Last, it will be analyzed for which application the presented measures are suitable and whether they shall be calculated by riskneutral or historical data.

In den WarenkorbTaschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Space exploration has been one of humanity's most profound and transformative endeavors. From the earliest visions of stargazing to the monumental achievements of landing humans on the Moon and sending robotic rovers to distant planets, our journey into the cosmos has been marked by unyielding curiosity, cutting-edge innovation, and international collaboration. The desire to understand the universe, to push the boundaries of human achievement, and to find answers to some of the most fundamental questions about life and existence has driven mankind to explore space, often surpassing the limits of what was once thought possible.This book, Historic Space Explorations, delves into the rich and fascinating history of space exploration, focusing on the pivotal missions and milestones achieved by the world's leading space agencies. In the following chapters, we examine the origins of space exploration, the early rockets and satellites, the intense competition of the Cold War Space Race, and the remarkable technological advancements that have shaped space exploration to this day. The chapters further explore the roles of key space agencies such as NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, CNSA, ISRO, JAXA, and private companies like SpaceX, who have made significant contributions to expanding human knowledge of the universe.As the reader will discover, space exploration is not merely the realm of government space agencies or astronauts. Over the decades, space exploration has increasingly become a global enterprise, involving partnerships, technological sharing, and an exciting blend of scientific discovery and commercial innovation. From the Soviet Union's pioneering achievements to the rise of private space ventures like SpaceX, space exploration has seen incredible feats, setbacks, and moments of triumph. Each mission, whether a failure or success, has contributed to humanity's vast and growing understanding of space.In the chapters that follow, we explore these achievements and challenges in-depth, beginning with the origins of space exploration in the early 20th century, moving through the space race, and concluding with the current and future state of human exploration in space. We explore not only the milestones achieved but also the key people, technologies, and political contexts that have driven these efforts forward.The future of space exploration is brimming with possibilities. With the imminent return to the Moon through NASA's Artemis program, the ongoing exploration of Mars, and missions to the outer planets and beyond, we are at the cusp of a new age of discovery. As we push further into the cosmos, questions surrounding the existence of life on other planets, the potential for human colonization of other worlds, and our understanding of the origins of the universe will shape the future of space exploration.The chapters of this book have been designed to offer a detailed overview of space exploration, from the beginnings of rocketry and spaceflight to the ongoing quest for interplanetary exploration. While space agencies and companies continue to lead these efforts, the future will undoubtedly involve increasing participation from countries around the world, as well as private enterprises eager to capitalize on new technologies and ventures. The journey into space has become, and will continue to be, a global endeavor-one that reflects the aspirations and dreams of all humankind.As you read through this book, I invite you to reflect on how far we've come and to think about where humanity might go next. We stand on the threshold of a new era, one where the mysteries of space await discovery and the possibility of interplanetary existence becomes a reality.

In den WarenkorbTaschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Contemptuous of contemporary novels and what he saw as stereotypical plots and empty characters, in 1890 Knut Hamsun wrote 'Hunger', which is a searing excursion into the realm of the irrational. In a moment-by-moment internal monologue, Hamsun reveals the profound anguish of a struggling writer facing the possibility of death in a world indifferent to his existence. 224 pp.
