Complete Idiot's Guide to Taoism

Editura: Alpha Books

Anul aparitiei: 2002

A guide to the Tao te Ching and Taoism covering what it teaches and how it interacts with other areas of Buddhism. -- The book appeals to both academic readers and individual seekers, both of whom buy books in large numbers. -- Complements series coverage of related topics such as The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Buddhism, The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Zen Living, The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Tai Chi and QiGong, and The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to the I Ching. While many know that Taosim is somehow connected to Buddhism, but they may not understand it's far-reaching influence on Eastern philosophy today. Without Taoism, many believe Buddhism would never have caught on -- concepts of simplicity and balance come to us from the mixing of Chinese Taoism and Buddhism. The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Taoism continues this tradition in helping people understand the history of Taoism, the interpretations of the Tao te Ching and how to Taoism touches our daily life.

High-Temperature Chemistry of Silicates and Other Oxide Systems / Vysokotemperaturnaya Khimiya Silikatnykh I Drugikh Okisnykh Sistem / B Ico Otem Epat

Editura: MCGRAW HILL/IRWIN PROFESSIONAL

Anul aparitiei: 2012

The ever-increasing importance of chemical reactions at high and superhigh temperatures in crystalline, amorphous, and semicrystalline SOlids, as well as the reactions of these solids with gases, prompted the authors of this book to examine critically the literature available in this field and to present a general review of the subject. In this monograph we discuss those chemical and physicochemical points which we consider to be most important for solving a series of problems in the preparation and use of new inorganic materials. We hope that this book will be of interest to the many specialists working on inorganic materials. N. A. Toropov PREFACE Modem technology demands ever more materials with high mechanical strength, heat and chemical re- sistance, fire resistance, special electrical properties, particular behavior toward active radiations, etc. The search for such materials requires the study of various chemical compounds, metallic alloys, and other fused in- organic systems, especially oxide systems. Materials based on oxides begin to assume increasing importance in many fields of the new technology. In this connection the investigation of oxides and systems consisting of ...

Plasmonic Effects in Metal-Semiconductor Nanostructures

Editura: OXFORD UNIV PR

Anul aparitiei: 2015

Metal-semiconductor nanostructures represent an important new class of materials employed in designing advanced optoelectronic and nanophotonic devices, such as plasmonic nanolasers, plasmon-enhanced light-emitting diodes and solar cells, plasmonic emitters of single photons, and quantum devices operating in infrared and terahertz domains. The combination of surface plasmon resonances in conducting structures, providing strong concentration of an electromagnetic optical field nearby, with sharp optical resonances in semiconductors, which are highly sensitive to external electromagnetic fields, creates a platform to control light on the nanoscale. The design of the composite metal-semiconductor system imposes the consideration of both the plasmonic resonances in metal and the optical transitions in semiconductors - a key issue being their resonant interaction providing a coupling regime. In this book the reader will find descriptions of electrodynamics of conducting structures, quantum physics of semiconductor nanostructures, and guidelines for advanced engineering of metal-semiconductor composites. These constituents form together the physical basics of the metal-semiconductor ...

Anul aparitiei: 2016

A former intelligence agent stands accused of terrorism, held without charge in a secret overseas prison. His memoir is in the hands of a psychologist with her own agenda, and her annotations paint a much darker picture. As the story unravels, we are forced to assess the truth for ourselves, and decide not only what really happened, but who is the real terrorist. Peopled by a diverse and unforgettable cast of characters, whose reliability as narrators is always questioned, and with a multi-layered plot heaving with unexpected and often shocking developments, " Jihadi: A Love Story" is an intelligent thriller that asks big questions.

Shakespeare for Beginners

Editura: FOR BEGINNERS

Anul aparitiei: 2008

Despite the reshifting of values that has affected every aspect of life in the 21st century, William Shakespeare still stands as the greatest writer the English language has ever produced. Even so, many people have never read him. If you have never read the Bard--or if you've tried and given up in frustration--you need Shakespeare For Beginners . Author Brandon Toropov opens with the observation that Shakespeare's genius is not in his (or England's) history, it's in his words, most notably, his plays--in his brilliant stories, unforgettable characters, and the impossible beauty of his language. So, Shakespeare For Beginners skips the historical foreplay and goes straight to Shakespeare's plays. The book offers clear, concise descriptions and plot summaries of each play; it lists key phrases and important themes, explains the main ideas behind each work and features excerpt of important passages (with explanatory notes on tough words.) And it is the only 'entry level' book available outside Great Britain that covers all of Shakespeare's plays.
