Описание:
The Natural and Moral History of the Indies, the classic work of New World history originally published by José de Acosta in 1590, is now available in the first new English translation to appear in several hundred years. A Spanish Jesuit, Acosta produced this account by drawing on his own observations as a missionary in Peru and Mexico, as well as from the writings of other missionaries, naturalists, and soldiers who explored the region during the sixteenth century. One of the first comprehensive investigations of the New World, Acosta’s study is strikingly broad in scope. He describes the region’s natural resources, flora and fauna, and terrain. He also writes in detail about the Amerindians and their religious and political practices. A significant contribution to Renaissance Europe's thinking about the New World, Acosta's Natural and Moral History of the Indies reveals an effort to incorporate new information into a Christian, Renaissance worldview. He attempted to confirm for his European readers that a "new" continent did indeed exist and that human beings could and did live in equatorial climates. A keen observer and prescient thinker, Acosta hypothesized that Latin America's indigenous peoples migrated to the region from Asia, an idea put forth more than a century before Europeans learned of the Bering Strait. Acosta's work established a hierarchical classification of Amerindian peoples and thus contributed to what today is understood as the colonial difference in Renaissance European thinking.

Описание: Ernesto Che Guevara, preludio de una leyenda, se adentra en el period que transcurre desde la llegada del joven argentino a Costa Rica y la continuaci n de su viaje a la Guatemala de Jacobo Arbenz, en diciembre de 1953, hasta su derrocamiento por fuerzas mercenarias apoyadas por el gobierno norteamericano y su posterior traslado a M xico, donde en breve tiempo se incorpora a los preparativos de la expedici n dirigida por Fidel. A trav s de su correspondencia y los testimonios de combatientes y amigos, nos acercamos de manos del autor a la peculiar personalidad del joven m dico argentino y el gradual proceso de radicalizaci n pol tica que produjo su incorporaci n a la expedici n del yate Granma. El presente t tulo: Ernesto Che Guevara, preludio de una leyenda, ha sido publicado en Italia en el 2005 y por la Editora Pol tica en el 2009.

Описание: An important milestone of 20th Century philosophy was the rise of personalism. After the crimes and atrocities against millions of human beings in two World Wars, especially the Second, some philosophers and other thinkers began to seek arguments showing the value of each human being, to expose and denounce the folly of political structures that violate the inalienable rights of the individual person.Karol Wojty?a appeals to the ancient concept of 'person' to emphasize the particular value of each human being. The person is unique because of their subjectivity by which they possesses an unrepeatable interior world in the history of humanity. Their rational nature grants them a special character among living beings, among which is the transcendence to the infinite. Wojty?a magisterially shows how each human being's personhood is rooted in a conscious and free subjectivity, which is marked also by personal and social responsibility. Wojty?a's original philosophical analysis takes for its starting point the human act, in which consciousness and experience consolidate voluntary choices, which are objectively efficacious. By their acts, the person determines their own personhood. This self-dominion manifests the person and enables them to live together in a community in which one's neighbor can be a companion on the voyage of life.This work provides a clear guide to Karol Wojty?a's principal philosophical work, Person and Act, rigorously analyzing the meaning that the author intended in his exposition. An important feature of the work is that the authors rely on the original Polish text, Osoba i czyn, as well as the best translations into Italian and Spanish, rather than on a flawed and sometimes misleading English edition of the work.Besides the analysis of Wojty?a's masterwork, this volume offers three chapters examining the impact of Wojty?a's anthropology on the relationship between faith and reason.
Описание: Everyone has their tragedy in life. Mine has always been love. Part of the motivational series My Funny, Sad Life, this passionate, tumultuous journey details almost two decades of Sex and the City-esque dating adventures, disasters, and lessons. Equal parts funny and sad, these stories are filled with the relatable slices of hope, heartbreak, outrage, confusion, and self-discovery that most of us (no? just me?) experience in our search for love. You'll definitely laugh, you might cry, and I'm almost certain you'll learn a thing or two. All accounts are based on true stories. Names have been changed to protect the privacy of all those involved. And, of course, there are two (and sometimes three or four) sides to every story-this is just mine.

Описание: This compilation first describes a system wherein a high-nuclear high-temperature reactor supplies constant power to a thermal energy storage unit of molten lithium chloride salt, which provides the required thermal energy for a closed energy conversion system. Next, a compact power generation-storage system is constructed using a direct current-alternating current inverter, spherical Si solar cells, and a lithium-ion battery integrated into a single module. The authors discuss how, since a number of different countries electric power utilities are adding capacity, there is an opportunity to introduce a new, longer-lasting design for a wind turbine system. A method to reduce the consumption of high-pressure steam and cool fluid in the ethanol process is presented, as well as a plan to reduce the emission of environmental pollutants from the H-501 furnace in the maleic anhydride process. Energy optimization is carried out for the condensation stabilization component of Ilam gas refinery. The closing study focuses on techniques such as the adjacent tree-bounded hop algorithm that may be used to reduce the energy consumption of wireless sensor networks, whether static or dynamic.

Описание: Volume 33 begins with a focus on gas hydrates, also known as methane hydrates, which are formed due to high hydraulic pressures present under the cold seabed over long periods of time. Following this, an exploratory method using semi-structured interviews was undertaken to investigate the barriers and drivers for implementing energy efficiency measures in South Africas cement finishing mill. To address the large energy consumption of microalgae dewatering and to increase revenues from microalgae, a novel process for the prior sustainable extraction of carotenoids from wet microalgae biomass is proposed. The authors describe the evolution of smart grids in some developing countries, highlighting the challenges and trends for the next years. For this purpose, reference cases corresponding to different developing countries of Africa and America are used. Additionally, the basics of high efficiency cogeneration and the mathematical model used to calculate the amount of electricity in cogeneration are discussed. In one study, the impedance of the diffusion and reaction processes in an electrochemical cell is modelled by means of transmission line equivalent electric circuits. To discuss the applications of common techniques to control the efficiency and costs of underground ventilation, detailed information on current practices is collected through discussions with miners to identify relevant problems. The authors go on to explore barriers and enablers which impact the durability of solar street lighting systems in rural India to create a renewable energy eco-system in rural poor communities. Later, it is proposed that statistical control charts can assist in controlling energy consumption in universities, and the rate of energy consumption flow is used to diagnose high-energy consumption. The closing research is an analysis of problems found during the operation of the biogas power system at Baiturrahman boarding school, West Java, Indonesia, and recommendations to enhance the system performance are provided.
