Undeniably, we as a people come from different backgrounds,
different religions, and divergent cultures. However, one common
thing for those of us who have lost someone significant in our
lives is the deep-rooted pain and heartache death can bring. People
are looking for answers, guidance, and wants to know if anyone else
has experienced a tragedy similar to their own. A Peace After Grief
reaches out to those who grieve, dealing with existent issues
readers can relate to such as death of a parent, child, spouse,
student, sibling, and an array of others. The uniqueness of Tristan
Watson's A Peace After Grief is not only that it is written in a
sensitive manner, but it also reveals the rawest form of emotion
and grief felt by those who suffer a loss. An exemption from death
is not possible, and for those who have experienced the devastation
and tragedy of losing someone, A Peace After Grief is a must read.
This collection of stories is a first step for those who still need
to center their grief and try to come to a place of acceptance.
Though the pain and grief may be hard to bear, it is possible to
receive a peace after grief.
Dr. Chapman provides the first comprehensive examination of
Farmer's major themes and fiction, from his earliest writings to
his bestseller, The Gods of Riverworld.
Curtis M. Brown has long been recognized as the world's foremost
authorities on land surveying. His works and textbooks are found in
virtually every Land Surveyor's library across the country. His
legal principles have been adopted by a large number of courts
across the United States and his books are standard reference works
for practicing Land Surveyors. The Curt Brown Chronicles presents a
collection of papers, lectures, and articles prepared by Mr. Brown
in the course of developing the principles and authorities for his
textbooks and classes. While serving as a member of the American
Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), Mr. Brown was a regular
contributor to The Surveyor and Law and the Comment and Discussion
columns as well as other important articles. In this capacity, Mr.
Brown would respond to inquiries from Land Surveyors across the
United States on a variety of subjects related to land surveying
and the application of relevant law. His opinions continue to have
considerable influence on the professional land surveying community
and the legal community. Many of the papers contained in The Curt
Brown Chronicles have not been released since their original
publication in the 1950s and 1960s. Nevertheless, the subjects are
still germane and in many ways, Curt's focus on many subjects was
prescient. Mr. Brown's articles on Land Surveyor's Liability to
Unwritten Rights, Land Surveyors Ethics, and The Professional
Status of Land Surveyors, are still considered relevant and are
held in as high a regard as is Justice Thomas Cooley's (Chief
Justice, Supreme Court of Michigan, 1864-1885) famous article, The
Judicial Functions of Surveyors.The Curt Brown Chronicles has been
compiled with the consent and permission of ACSM and the Brown
family.
Come with me on a journey. It isn't a very long journey when
compared to your life as a whole. In fact, it is a very short one.
But, it may be the most exciting, most revealing, most fulfilling,
and ultimately the most important journey you will ever take. Come
with me on a journey to the center of your mind. This book is
designed to be your guide to your new, better future by helping you
redefine your beliefs about yourself. Do you feel that you could be
and do so much more if only you could control your fears and look
at yourself as the winner you would like to be? Fear Is The Mind
Killer, isn't it? It is the 'little death' that robs you of your
joy, limits your friendships, and keeps you under the thumb, so to
speak, of life. Instead of Fear being your Mind Killer, you have
the power to use that fear to be your Mind Builder. You can change
the paradigms of your fears from those that limit you to those that
actually EMPOWER you. You have the power within yourself to be so
much more. This book is designed to show you the way to the life
you have always dreamed of having. It is my personal mission
through these pages to give you the methods of becoming all you
want to become. To accomplish your dreams for the benefit of
yourself and everyone around you, especially those you love. If
each of us becomes all we are capable of being we can truly change
the world. -Dennis Allyn
In a Unification of Electromagnetism and Gravity, author Selwyn
Wright describes his New Relativity (NR) theory in a simple
physical way, in order to help the lay person to understand. At the
same time he seeks to update aspects of modern physics in a
rigorous manner. NR removes confusion in Einstein's relativity,
simplifies our understanding of the universe and challenges
relativity as a more logical and comprehensive theory.
Motional electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational theories are
shown to have two inherent deficiencies that have prevented them
from becoming a unified theory. Firstly they do not recognize that
the propagation medium (ether) is the essential thread that runs
through these developments. Secondly they do not realise that EM
waves and gravity are two forms of the same field - unsteady
electric and steady difference electric fields. Wright's new theory
re-establishes a preferred frame of reference and restores the
connection between classical and modern physics. It also forges new
links between electrical sources and observers in motion and
between electric fields and gravity.
As explained in the Unification of Electromagnetism and Gravity
the medium provides the bridge between the Lorentz transform,
accelerating frames and gravity, providing a basis for the
unification theory of the universe.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.

owing the IRS thousands of dollars. Follow the steps that Andre
taught Anthony to help him overcome his depression and sleepless
nights-and finally find peace of mind.
Plato's dialogue Theaetetus asks the question of what knowledge is,
how human beings acquire it, and how knowledge relates to both
perception and judgement. This dialogue is told as a frame story,
whereby Euclid and a friend are read a dialogue from the time
Theaetetus was a young man. In it Theaetetus, a teacher of
geometry, is talking with Socrates. At first they discuss the
students, but soon move on to the core subject of knowledge and
what it is to know things. It is in this dialogue that Socrates
famously compares himself to a midwife, which was his mother's
profession. Whereas she showed expertise in bringing a newborn
child into the world, Socrates' rather is skilled at bringing new
knowledge forth from the minds of those on the cusp of birthing
such thoughts. A classic Platonic dialogue, this edition of
Theaetetus is the translation of renowned classical scholar
Benjamin Jowett.
This early work on Familiar Quotations is a fascinating read and is
thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all
historians. It is an absorbing collection of quotes from many
different authors. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
