Emergent Gems by Manish Chopra, PhD Pdf

The concept of this book came about several years ago when I observed insights emerging spontaneously during periods of silent meditation. Introspective contemplation producing wisdom wasn’t a surprise, yet the unexpected and effortless nature of certain deeper mysteries of life revealing themselves was startling and have left a lasting imprint on my mind. The purpose of sharing these insights is two-fold: to pass on beneficial ideas and life-lessons that have arisen in moments of meditation, and importantly, to encourage the reader to introduce (or enhance, as the case might be) a practice of contemplation in their lives, which would bestow similar bounties upon them directly. This book is written in the form of short distinct vignettes that each present an insightful gem. I have organized them into loosely defined sections, but you may choose to explore them in any order and in a piecemeal manner. I am grateful that these insights have emerged in my mind and provided me much needed guidance and self-direction at critical life junctures and on a day-to-day basis. I hope others might draw benefit from the ideas expressed in this book and be inspired to pursue their own paths to enrich their lives with self-discovery and emergent gems. —Manish Chopra, PhD _________________________ “A thoughtful series of vignettes revealing the ruminations of a dedicated meditation practitioner and business leader. Manish Chopra's openness and commitment to seeking the truth makes his writing relatable and pleasurable. Each insight and story presented can be a powerful daily contemplation. Filled with timeless wisdom, Emergent Gems will inspire its readers to walk mindfully along the spiritual path in a pragmatic and memorable manner.” —Deepak Chopra, MD, Author of Quantum Body and numerous other NY Times bestsellers on spirituality “Emergent Gems is a wonderful therapy for those seeking wisdom and inspiration on the road to a life of meaning. As a prominent business executive, devoted father and dedicated meditator, Manish’s reflections and gems are a gift for introspection that are accessible to anyone who is willing to look honestly inside.” —Dominic Barton, Chairman of Rio Tinto and former global managing partner of McKinsey & Co. “Manish Chopra's Emergent Gems is like a great box of chocolates for the reflective mind! Meditators and non-meditators alike will benefit from savoring each of these short pieces. Don't eat them all at once!” —Robert Kegan, Meehan Professor Emeritus, Harvard University; co-author, Immunity to Change

Mariette and the Science of the Connoisseur in Eighteenth-Century Europe by Kristel Smentek Pdf

Celebrated connoisseur, drawings collector, print dealer, book publisher and authority on the art of antiquity, Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774) was a pivotal figure in the eighteenth-century European art world. Focusing on the trajectory of Mariette?s career, this book examines the material practices and social networks through which connoisseurs forged the idea of art as an object of empirical and historical analysis. Drawing on significant unpublished archival material as well as on histories of science, publishing, collecting and display, this book shows how Mariette and his colleagues? practices of classification and interpretation of the graphic arts gave rise to new conceptions of artistic authorship and to a history of art that transcended the biographies of individual artists. To follow Mariette?s career through the eighteenth century is to see that art was consolidated as a specialized category of intellectual inquiry-and that style emerged as its structuring analytic device-in the overlapping spaces of the collector?s cabinet, the connoisseur?s portfolio and the dealer?s shop.

Bernard Lonergan's Method and a Medical Doctor's Approach to Healthcare by John Raymaker Pdf

Pat Daly, MD, has written a series of articles which uphold Bernard Lonergan's method explored in his famous book Insight as a model that could be followed or applied in practicing medicine or promoting healthcare. Daly calls his effort a GEM Model for medicine. Daly, however, has not explored in-depth Lonergan's second major work, Method in Theology, which develops an eight-step method that complements Insight. This book focuses on these eight steps, or Functional Specialties so as to better promote Lonergan's views on "Healing and Creating in History."

New Earth Histories by Alison Bashford,Emily M. Kern,Adam Bobbette Pdf

A kaleidoscopic rethinking of how we come to know the earth. This book brings the history of the geosciences and world cosmologies together, exploring many traditions, including Chinese, Pacific, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian conceptions of the earth’s origin and makeup. Together the chapters ask: How have different ideas about the sacred, animate, and earthly changed modern environmental sciences? How have different world traditions understood human and geological origins? How does the inclusion of multiple cosmologies change the meaning of the Anthropocene and the global climate crisis? By carefully examining these questions, New Earth Histories sets an ambitious agenda for how we think about the earth. The chapters consider debates about the age and structure of the earth, how humans and earth systems interact, and how empire has been conceived in multiple traditions. The methods the authors deploy are diverse—from cultural history and visual and material studies to ethnography, geography, and Indigenous studies—and the effect is to highlight how earth knowledge emerged from historically specific situations. New Earth Histories provides both a framework for studying science at a global scale and fascinating examples to educate as well as inspire future work. Essential reading for students and scholars of earth science history, environmental humanities, history of science and religion, and science and empire.

Advances in Modeling and Simulation by Andreas Tolk,John Fowler,Guodong Shao,Enver Yücesan Pdf

​This broad-ranging text/reference presents a fascinating review of the state of the art of modeling and simulation, highlighting both the seminal work of preeminent authorities and exciting developments from promising young researchers in the field. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation, the book showcases the historical importance of this influential conference while also looking forward to a bright future for the simulation community. Topics and features: examines the challenge of constructing valid and efficient models, emphasizing the benefits of the process of simulation modeling; discusses model calibration, input model risk, and approaches to validating emergent behaviors in large-scale complex systems with non-linear interactions; reviews the evolution of simulation languages, and the history of the Time Warp algorithm; offers a focus on the design and analysis of simulation experiments under various goals, and describes how data can be “farmed” to support decision making; provides a comprehensive overview of Bayesian belief models for simulation-based decision making, and introduces a model for ranking and selection in cloud computing; highlights how input model uncertainty impacts simulation optimization, and proposes an approach to quantify and control the impact of input model risk; surveys the applications of simulation in semiconductor manufacturing, in social and behavioral modeling, and in military planning and training; presents data analysis on the publications from the Winter Simulation Conference, offering a big-data perspective on the significant impact of the conference. This informative and inspiring volume will appeal to all academics and professionals interested in computational and mathematical modeling and simulation, as well as to graduate students on the path to form the next generation of WSC pioneers.

Empowering the Lonely Crowd by John Raymaker Pdf

In Empowering the Lonely Crowd, John Raymaker simplifies and extends arguments made in his previous book, A Buddhist-Christian Logic of the Heart, in particular the notion of a spiritual genome. Raymaker explores and compares John Paul II and Lonergan's thought in relation to (Japanese) Buddhism, concluding that while all life has a coded genome, all humans have a free, uncoded spiritual genome that is a viable alternative to postmodern scepticism.
