Lucina's Letters by Barbara Francesca Murphy Pdf

“They did not mean to hurt the boy, much less kill him. They only wanted to teach him a lesson.” A stunning family saga set in Ireland and Italy, Lucina’s Letters is a gripping character study that explores the deep, dark repercussions of one long-ago deed. Family has always been of the utmost importance to Lucina, but when she learns the truth about an event that almost ripped the family apart, she sets about mending the familial bond even if her efforts are from beyond the grave. One well-timed letter allows her to bring the family together and drag not just one secret but many into the light. But what will the consequences be; will the now-grown-up girls come to terms with their actions on that fateful day and subsequently their own struggles in life? Were the messenger’s intentions just honourable and will the truth set them free and restore the family unit once again?

Rogue Warrior by Keith Turnbull Pdf

Shoshanna is a loner, a brilliant and skilled special operator; however, her troubled past is beginning to catch up with her. There's an element of uncertainty which defines her methods as Shoshanna starts hunting Special Forces operators. The hunters have become the hunted. She's engaging in a war between herself and those who have either disgraced or exploited the 'Service', but deep down, there is also something unexplained - something more to the equation. Repulsed as much by ex-soldiers profiting unfairly from their experiences as she is by former indiscretions and acts of betrayal, her targets are operators she once worked with on international assignments. Shoshanna plans a sequence of missions to surveil and kill her targets, one by one, with a signature brutality that is hard to ignore. Her victims, all from the international Special Forces community, have each in some manner let her down during an operation over the years. The helicopter that didn't pick up her crew - kill the intelligence officer. A Russian Spetsnaz soldier who burned a room full of children - marked for death. Next, a female Danish officer who betrayed her team - a target to be neutralised. Shoshanna is working her way through the list and it is attracting more and more attention. Rogue Warrior is a clever and explosive thriller. ""Rogue Warrior is both authentic in its writing and realistic in highlighting the sometimes-vulnerable nature of even the world's best soldiers. It would make a must-see film."" Paul Biddiss (Former Para Reg), UK's leading Military Technical Advisor for Film and TV

ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series) by James Joyce Pdf

This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

The Magitians Discovered, Volume 3 by Olaus Magnus,Henry Cornelius Agrippa,John Dee,Robert Burton,Isaac La Peyrère,Robert Kirk Pdf

Karl Popper, Science and Enlightenment by Nicholas Maxwell Pdf

Here is an idea that just might save the world. It is that science, properly understood, provides us with the methodological key to the salvation of humanity. A version of this idea can be found in the works of Karl Popper. Famously, Popper argued that science cannot verify theories but can only refute them, and this is how science makes progress. Scientists are forced to think up something better, and it is this, according to Popper, that drives science forward.But Nicholas Maxwell finds a flaw in this line of argument. Physicists only ever accept theories that are unified – theories that depict the same laws applying to the range of phenomena to which the theory applies – even though many other empirically more successful disunified theories are always available. This means that science makes a questionable assumption about the universe, namely that all disunified theories are false. Without some such presupposition as this, the whole empirical method of science breaks down.By proposing a new conception of scientific methodology, which can be applied to all worthwhile human endeavours with problematic aims, Maxwell argues for a revolution in academic inquiry to help humanity make progress towards a better, more civilized and enlightened world.
