A book with excellent presentation, content and layout. Gets straight to the point. Demonstrates a formula to become memorable and also deals with issues that hinder. This book is a well hidden secret. Makes the book "Memorable" indeed.

Book Description

Today's international development financing system seems like a collection of disjointed entities that often work at cross purposes without being able to mobilize enough finance for developing countries. This book brings together the vast array of new initiatives in financing mechanisms and proposals to transform the development finance architecture. Based on four different scenarios for the next ten-year period, proposals are made for how to reach an effective system.

Book Description

1903. This work is based upon the Donnellan lectures delivered before the University of Dublin in the chapel of Trinity College in 1901-2. The spirit and origin of monasticism is a subject which has received very little attention from English writers, thus this book to deepen the English reader's knowledge on monasticism.

Defending the Christian Monks and Hermits........2004-07-29

_The Spirit and Origin of Christian Monasticism_ (a reprint of a book published in 1903) by James O. Hannay is an excellent outline of the early monastic movement focusing on St. Anthony of Egypt, St. Basil the Great of Cappadocia and St. Benedict of Italy. Hannay begins his discussion on whether or not monasticism, and asceticism in general, are of in fact of Christian inspiration. Hannay writes as an Anglican in England that since the 1500s had been at odds with the Roman Catholic Church and held divergent views of the Christian life. In Protestant theology, the ideal Christian life is that of a good citizen, while in Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy (although Orthodoxy as an entity of Christendom is not specifically addressed in this book), the ideal is a life of virginity and ascetic self-denial. Many attempts have been made by historians of religions, both secular and Protestant, to discredit monasticism as foreign to the sprit of Christianity by tracing it to earlier pagan devotional practices. Possible monastic influences may have come from Hinduism and Buddhism in India, the Jewish Essene sect, the Therapeutae of ancient Greece, and Egypt's "inclusi" dedicated to the goddess Serapis. There is also the issue of whether or not Neo-Platonic philosophy, such as that of Origen, provided a catalyst for monasticism as well. Hannay proves these connections to be questionable at best; noting that monasticism was native to the spirit of Christ's teachings and the early Church by itself and not the result of extra-Christian influences. Monasticism was therefore organic, if not the unifying element, of early Christianity. It was not particularly the result of neo-Platonism or Gnosticism because most of the early hermits and monks like the followers of St. Anthony were uneducated peasants who wanted to imitate the life of Christ. Vitally important to the worldview of the hermits of the Egyptian Thebaid was the belief in demons and how they lead the soul away from communion with God. Some ascetics went to the extreme in self-torture like that of St. Simeon Styletes, who lived on top of a thirty-foot pillar for decades. Hannay also notes that it was in fact the monks who were the most prominent theologians in the Church and the first to defend the Christian faith against its opponents. Many monastic groups also posed a threat to the established Church for a variety of reasons as well. Some fell into heresy while others nearly became schismatic with the Church because they criticized it for its worldliness. It was in part through the efforts of Evagrius and St. Basil that monasticism in the East was brought under imperial sanction and control. State control of monasteries, according to Hannay, had the negative impact of making monasticism less influential in Eastern Christendom as it was in the West. The rule of St. Benedict, derived from various previous sources, established a more moderate coenobitic life from that of eastern ascetics and gradually became the most prominent form of monasticism in the Roman Church. Benedictine monasteries became nearly the sole bastions of education and knowledge, preserving ancient manuscripts, while the rest of Europe fell into general illiteracy after the Roman Empire collapsed. This book presents a very positive assessment of monasticism, even though it is written from a Church of England perspective.

Book Description

Practically all mined ores of non-ferrous and rate metals and an increasing share of industrial minerals and coal are processed through flotation. This book presents the analysis of a wide range of problems in the process theory of flotation columns, including the first published analysis of models of flotation froths. The experience of pilot tests and commercial applications of column flotation for mineral processing and in waste water treatment circuits are also considered. This is the first book to consider column flotation design and operation experience and to present data on column parameters.

Book Description

Hardbound. Column flotation is one of the most important new developments to emerge in mineral processing technology in the last 50 years. Currently there is much research and development interest worldwide, and Professors Finch and Dobby are among the leading practitioners in the field. Column Flotation covers both fundamental and applied aspects. Following an examination of the properties of the collection and froth zones, there is detailed treatment of cleaning and selectivity, focussing on their dependence on operating variables. It concludes with an examination of the practical questions of column simulation, scale-up and control. The book is profusely illustrated throughout, with comprehensive glossary and nomenclature sections to assist newcomers to the field. Invaluable reading for mineral processing and chemical engineers, both practising and students, it provides a solid foundation to this rapidly emerging technique.

Book Description

This book presents recent and important developments in the field of terahertz radiation, with a particular focus on pulsed terahertz radiation. Situated in the gap between electronics and optics, the terahertz frequency range of the electro-magnetic spectrum has long been neglected by scientists and engineers due to a lack of efficient and affordable terahertz sources and detectors. The advent of femtosecond lasers in the 1980s and photoconductive switches in 1984 have made the terahertz gap accessible, while at the same time advances in electronics and optics have made it narrower. Research activities in terahertz frequencies have intensified dramatically since that time, funding has increased by a factor of 100 in the last decade. The reviews by leading experts are of interest to researchers and engineers as well as advanced students.

Book Description

Terahertz technology has moved on from being a useful but expensive circuit technique, applied largely in astronomy and space science, to become a subject in its own right, with important applications - terahertz imaging in particular. Indeed, the driving force in terahertz technology is currently imaging and spectroscopy. We now have the means to obtain images and chemical information in this frequency band. The images reproduced in this volume are striking and, not surprisingly, the clinical and analytical uses are the subject of intense activity. There is still, however, no complete range of active THz electronic components, but an encouraging conclusion of the book is that THz electronics will become necessary in communications systems in the foreseeable future.
Terahertz technology has come of age, and the future lies open to new, exciting science and vital applications.

Book Description

A detailed study of the science, engineering and applications of terahertz technology, based on room-temperature solid-state devices, which are seen as the key technology for wider applications in this frequency range. The relative merits of electronic and optical devices are discussed and new device principles identified. Issues of terahertz circuit design, implementation and measurement are complemented by chapters on current and future applications in communications, sensing and remote surveillance.
Audience: The unique coverage of all aspects of terahertz technology will appeal to both new and established workers in the field, as well as providing a survey for the interested reader.
