Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constants by James Vincent Pdf
A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking readers from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the “quantified self.” At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
This book is a collection of Sri Chinmoy’s poems selected from his entire body of poetic work that spans over six decades. He started writing poetry from the age of thirteen and continued writing even in the last year of his life. As a child he was thoroughly trained in the craft of the poetic art. All his early poems were written from within the poetic restraints of meter and rhyme. Only later in his poetic career he wrote in free verse. Speaking of his poetry, Sri Chinmoy said, “Throughout my poetry-journey, my poetry-tree has cherished various branches: philosophy, prayer, religion, spirituality, my love of Nature’s beauty, my love of word-making, which the English language indulgently allows me to explore, and my abiding love, concern and hope for this world of ours.” Because of the shear originality, sincerity, honesty, and truth in his poems, the cadences of Sri Chinmoy’s poetry, like the poet himself, will travel through time for centuries and centuries to come offering hope, strength and salvation to many an earnest traveler in his or her journey through life. Book Review: "These inspiring poems, so rich in wisdom, spirituality and love, remind us Sri Chinmoy lives on cherished in our hearts and history." -- Jason McManus, Editor-in-chief, Time Warner publications.
It is difficult not to be emotionally involved in this human realm since emotions are a critical part of this planet. You already know the best way not to experience trauma: Remain in your heart source. Trauma begins in your life when you come into your physical body before birth. Trauma is held in your body even before your soul enters it. Because trauma affects your energy bodies, typical psychological therapy — cognitive or behavioral — does not cure those effects. Trauma must be addressed in layers that include all your bodies, energetic and physical. This is why resolving trauma takes much time. On the emotional level, you begin to doubt who you are. You might experience anxiety or depression and forget who you are. You worry about what is going to happen in life and whether things will ever get better. What does that do? It causes problems on the emotional and the spiritual levels because you forget the marvelousness of who you are. Your happiness and contentment come from within. It does not depend on your situation. After experiencing a trauma, everything has changed, and you have to find the new you. What you believe about yourself is going to assist your recovery. If you believe you are only useful if you can walk and now you can no longer walk, your life loses its meaning based on your beliefs. You need new beliefs. Focus on yourself during this healing process. You are the most important individual in this whole practice. When you do this for yourself, your healing affects others, increasing the light in the world.
Raising Confident Kids in a Confusing World by Ed Drew Pdf
Help children find their identity in Christ so that they have a positive and realistic view of themselves. Useful for any stage of parenting. As our children grow up, they hear many conflicting messages about who they are. They are told that they can define themselves by their achievements or popularity, or by how they feel, and that sexuality, morality and gender are just questions of personal choice. Too often, Christian parents feel nervous and intimidated about engaging with their children on the subjects of bodies, gender, sexuality and their sense of self. This warm and realistic book helps parents to show their children that the Bible has better answers than our culture on these topics, which are neither surprising nor confusing to our creator God. Full of biblical truth, practical wisdom and discussion questions, this book will inspire and equip parents to help their children find their identity in being made and loved by Jesus. An identity based on God's love will help Children to have both a positive and a realistic view of themselves, and it will give them confidence to live by faith in a secular world. The real-life stories contained in the book are drawn from every stage of family life, from birth through to the teenage years, making it a valuable resource for any parent. It can helpfully be read alone, as a couple or in a group with others from your church. Author Ed Drew is the Director of Faith in Kids, which produces a range of resources for families and kid's ministry, including a series related to this book, entitled "Who Am I? which also includes Sunday School lessons and podcasts.

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2 It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well. If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all. Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him. As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining—it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in." If you desire greater understanding of the precious Word of God, if you want a daily guide to draw you closer to the Lord, this outstanding collections of 365 devotional readings by one of America's most respected and trusted Bible teachers is for you!

Sexuality is integral to who you are, and when someone damages that, it damages your energy field. In this book, we will work at strengthening and healing your energy field so that you become comfortable with how you choose to express your sexuality. We will show you how to dismantle the energies of non-acceptance for who you are because of who you choose to love or your confusion about the gender you feel internally versus what you display externally. We will also discuss how your sexuality influences every part of your life — how you sit, how you stand, and what you see when you look out your window. The key is to accept how you are and how others are. Lack of acceptance brings great shame, especially when you’re first discovering yourself as a sexual being. No parts of your body are shameful. That shame has been projected on to you by others. In this book, we will work specifically with areas related to gender identification, sexual attraction, sexual trauma, and confusion related to sexuality foisted on you by others.
The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida by John D. Caputo Pdf
The Prayer and Tears of Jacques Derrida takes its point of departure from Derrida's more recent, sometimes autobiographical writings and closely examines the religious motifs that have emerged in his later works. John D. Caputo's provocative interpretation of Derrida's thinking also makes an original contribution to the question of the relevance of deconstruction for religion. Caputo's Derrida is a man of faith who bridges Jewish and Christian traditions. The deep messianic, apocalyptic, and prophetic tones in Derrida's writings, Caputo argues, bespeak his broken covenant with Judaism. Through its startling exploration of Derrida's impossible religion, the book sheds light on the implications of deconstruction for an understanding of religion and faith today--from back cover.

Memoirs of a Darkened Heart by Nathanael Alexander Sterling Pdf
Restless rake and lovesick aristocrat Lucian Augustus has fallen in with a wealthy, decadent coven of witches endowed with a new immortality. They are incited to leave, dismiss their appointed lives of wealth and privilege in Northern England and start a new life along the warm Mediterranean but end up in a bitter, century's old feud. The Dark Sisters, Benedikta and Kristabelle Ambrose refuse to let another witch, let alone several, reside within a thousand miles of Genoa. Autumn Anders, the group's oracle and seer, Viktoria Ambrose, from the same ancient family of immortals, Kristian Asher, Lucian's mysterious mentor and teacher and others keep him in the dark as to the true reasons of this twisted, darkly enchanted migration.

It is on this quixotic search for meaning that he longs to find that which could save his soul and darkened heart.
Precious Heritage by Bruce A. Stein,Lynn S. Kutner,Jonathan S. Adams Pdf
From the lush forests of Appalachia to the frozen tundra of Alaska, and from the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest to the subtropical rainforests of Hawaii, the United States harbors a remarkable array of ecosystems. These ecosystems in turn sustain an exceptional variety of plant and animal life. For species such as salamanders and freshwater turtles, the United States ranks as the global center of diversity. Among the nation's other unique biological features are California's coast redwoods, the world's tallest trees, and Nevada's Devils Hole pupfish, which survives in a single ten-by-seventy-foot desert pool, the smallest range of any vertebrate animal. Precious Heritage draws together for the first time a quarter century of information on U.S. biodiversity developed by natural heritage programs from across the country. This richly illustrated volume not only documents those aspects of U.S. biodiversity that are particularly noteworthy, but also considers how our species and ecosystems are faring, what is threatening them, and what is needed to protect the nation's remaining natural inheritance. Above all, Precious Heritage is a celebration of the extraordinary biological diversity of the United States.
