Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Simone de Beauvoir made her own distinctive contribution to
existentialism in the form of an ethics which diverged sharply from
that of Jean-Paul Sartre. In her novels and philosophical essays of
the 1940s she produced not just a recognizably existentialist
ethics, but also a character ethics and an ethics for violence.
These concerns, stemming from her own personal philosophical
background, give a vital, contemporary resonance to her work. De
Beauvoir's feminist classic The Second Sex reflects her earlier
philosophical interests, and is considerably strengthened by this
influence. This book defends her existentialist feminism against
the many reproaches which have been levelled against it over
several decades, not least the criticism that it is steeped in
Sartrean masculinism.

This book is a creative psychoanalytic odyssey, a most intriguing
psychological voyage. It explores many of the most basic,
fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis, including repression,
insight, transference, play, child analysis, jokes, puns, and
parapraxes as well as the uncanny in dreams.
Psychoanalytic process, as Eugene Mahon envisions it, is an odyssey
through the mind of each of his analysands, the many children and
adults he has treated over the forty years of his analytic
practice. The painted guinea pigs of the title refer to three-year
old children mourning their school pet. Who painted him? a child
asks when a replacement pet of a slightly different color arrives
in the school a few days after the death of the original pet, as if
the dead can return from the grave after a paint job. This book is
full of arresting images like this as the author explores many of
the most basic, fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis e.g.
repression, insight, transference, play, child analysis, working
through, dreams within dreams, jokes, puns, parapraxes as well as
the uncanny in dreams, screen memories, symptom, character and
Freud s discovery of the Oedipus complex. This book is a highly
original, creative psychoanalytic odyssey, a most intriguing
psychological voyage you will not want to disembark from."
‘Many years ago in Mytherranea, before the stars had names, when
daisies were still called days’ eyes, and the moon stayed up all
night to keep the darkness company, there lived a race called
redbits…’ So begins the tale of Rensal, a small creature trying
to make sense of a big world. Running along one day, Rensal bumps
into the Tall One, a wise and mysterious redbit who loves to talk.
Over tea, toast, and berries, the friends discuss life, love,
creation, dreams, death, and everything else that lies under the
sun. This is a book that gets to the heart of what it is to be
young, of the joys and sorrows and confusions of childhood, and of
the questions that continue to be pertinent even when we are
full-grown – how we live, how we love, and what – if anything
– it all means.
In an effort to improve aircraft availability, this research
compared the efficiency of ten methods of determining
variance-to-mean ratios (VTMRs, VMRs, V/Ms) for repairable, spare
aircraft parts known as reparables. These methods are base pipeline
quantity, Hill-Stevens (220 LRUs), a variation of Hill-Stevens (10
1s), Hill-Stevens (230 LRUs), the Sherbrooke, a variation of
Sherbrooke (10 1s), historical data, a new regression function,
variance-to-mean ratio equals 1.00 or variance-to-mean ratio equals
1.01. Using VTMRs derived from quarterly organizational
intermediate maintenance (OIM) demands for line-replaceable units
(LRUs) from the D200A Secondary Item Requirement System (SIRS)
databases in aircraft sustainability model scenarios and Excel
spreadsheet simulation, this research concluded the VTMRs have an
impact on aircraft availability and the cost of inventory.
