Buch. Condizione: Neu. Perry, William (illustratore). Neuware - It's easy to see that building the Egyptian pyramids using a ramp would have been impractical and too labor intensive to make sense. And it's doubtful to think they were built by aliens or giant people, big cranes or flying machines. But how were they built After years of pondering and running model after model through my mind, I have come up with a theory that makes sense, seems to answer all unreasonable questions, and is clearly possible in their days using simple physics, mechanical means, common materials, and skilled human beings. This plan uses 0.1 percent the energy needed to drag a stone up a ramp and to set a stone on top of the pyramid every two to three minutes, putting the stone cutters to their limit.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Statistical statements and results are read and used in everyday life and are also presented in the form of charts and diagrams. This book covers basic introductory statistics and brings to light how these statistical results are arrived at, starting with the collection of the data, its organization and summarisation, followed by the mathematical tools used both graphical and analytical to depict, describe, analyse and interpret the data.The book begins with a chapter that discusses what is data, types of data, and examines the difference between data collected for a population as opposed to a sample. The chapters that follow go on to discuss the organisation and summarisation of data in the form of frequency distributions to make it clearer and more manageable to deal with. Also covered are various graphical devices such as bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, frequency polygons, by which data may be depicted to make it easier to visualize and reveal any patterns or trends. Attention is then directed to analytical methods used to describe and characterise data sets by calculating some special numbers called numerical descriptive measures which include measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of dispersion (range, standard variation, variance), measures of relative standing (percentiles, quartiles, z- scores) and measures of association (coefficient of correlation). The book concludes with a chapter presenting some basic methods of fitting a straight line to a data set that shows a somewhat linear relationship between two variables thus allowing predictions to be made about the value of one variable given the value of the other variable.Within each chapter wherever new statistical terms are introduced for the first time they are identified in bold type and at the end of each chapter these key terms are summarised and defined or explained. There are also various detailed worked examples in each chapter to help the reader improve his/her understanding of the material discussed.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Confession and Communion - can there be any more important aspects in the Christian life than confession of sin and communion with God Indeed, our communion with God requires that wefirst confess our sins. But to whom should we confess our sins And what is the basis through which we can be forgiven Before partaking of the communion elements, what does Scripture mean by 'examining' ourselves And do we simply partake in remembering Christ, or are we also receiving Him - and perhaps even re-presenting His sacrifice These and many other questions are fully answered in this book.It is for you!

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - She is a free spirit of the night. He is a soldier that defends the light. They get an opportunity to talk about life and discover an eternal connection for just one night. Once they realize the connection between their hearts, she tries to get him to discover something deep inside. The goal is to find the spirit of God from within the third eye. Her method to find God is unique and requires a leap of faith. But he has a hard time letting go of what he already believes. They are polar opposites, but together they seem to balance each other out. They are a match made in heaven, and all they have to do is survive a brief separation. He is heading off to hell to fight for freedom, while she is trying to create a heaven on earth. Only time will tell if their efforts can create a rebirth.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is about the determined story of Angelina and her family and the hardships they faced while leaving Iran and reaching freedom in the United States. Growing up amid the stable government of the Shah of Iran then living through the political and cultural turmoil of the Iranian revolution that began in 1975, Angelina managed to complete her bachelor of arts in English and became a teacher. But it was fraught with hardship. As a single parent, she had to protect her children from an increasingly hostile government yet had to continue seeking ways to escape the harsh environment. Finally reaching the United States, the ugly head of discrimination in higher education in California universities revealed itself-another chapter in her struggle to improve herself and her children. The story shows how she dealt with this discrimination and the outcome it eventually brought.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Each chapter begins with a scripture, followed by a short story, and concludes with a powerful message. The stories were created to illustrate or teach truth. Although they are fictional, they could have happened. For example, Chapter Five: Abstruse is about three men (a professor, a dentist, and an anesthesiologist). They met while attending a sport training camp. The men just happened to have a common interest in climbing, hiking, and mountaineering. They realized that climbing Mount Everest was on each one of their to-do list. At first when they arrived, the men sat motionless, watching the ground shift. It was like a bunch of ice cubes were continually tumbling down the mountain wall. Yet the beauty of the view at the top of the mountain made the earth's troubles seem even more horrifying!

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There are basically three sections of this book: youth / first love, nature, and wisdom. I have always turned to paper and pen when excited, in wonder, or distressed. I have found that writing down the obtrusive thoughts frees the mind.I have chosen poetry as the venue. Hopefully, you too can relate. I hope that you may glean some insight into yourself and find peace, joy, and some wisdom.I may add that some of the poetry is simple and obvious. Others need to be read more than once. As in a painting, the observer gets out of it what relates to her. So too in poetry. You may read a poem and feel something entirely different from why I wrote it. That is just fine. My purpose was personal. Your purpose could be that the poem stimulates a remembrance of a time in your life that can be relived. Enjoy.

A proclaimed son of Yawe, Fatra is destined to rule over one empire but only, it is declared, after he experiences suffering and deep-rooted humiliation. For a decade, his life is just like any other teenagers until his present and future become a grave concern to King Fag, one of the rulers of the four empires. Fearful of the rumor that Fatra might rule over his empire someday, Fag enlists his commanders to kidnap Fatra. But since Fag has no son, he adopts and trains Fatra to be a great thinker. Fags spiritual leader is envious and poisons that relationship until Fatra is given to King Tubal as a goodwill gesture. So begins Fatras descent into slavery, rebellion, war, imprisonment, and betrayal. In a story that spans four empires and thirty-five years, Fatra is finally crowned.
