Problems and Solutions in Introductory Mechanics
pdf | 2.16 MB | English | 2017 | Page: 353
About Problems and Solutions in Introductory Mechanics :
This problem book is ideal for high college and college students in search of practice problems with detailed solutions. All of the standard introductory topics in mechanics are covered: kinematics, Newton's la, energy, momentum, angular momentum, oscillations, gravity, and fictitious forces.
The introduction to each chapter provides an overview of the relevant concepts. Students can then warm up with a series of multiple-choice questions before diving into the free-response problems which constitute the bulk of the book. The first few problems in each chapter are derivations of key results/theorems that are useful when solving other problems.
While the book is calculus-based, it can also easily be used in algebra-based courses. The problems that require calculus (only a sixth of the total number) are listed in an appendix, allowing students to steer clear of those if they wish.
Additional details: (1) Features 150 multiple-choice questions and nearly 250 free-response problems, all with detailed solutions. (2) Includes 350 figures to help students visualize important concepts. (3) Builds on solutions by frequently including extensions/variations and additional remarks. (4) Begins with a chapter devoted to problem-solving strategies in physics. (5) A valuable supplement to the assigned textbook in any introductory mechanics course.

The Mindfulness Survival Kit Five Essential Practices
epub | 347.52 KB | English | 978-1937006341 | Thich Nhat Hanh | 2013 | Parallax Press | Page: 160
About The Mindfulness Survival Kit Five Essential Practices :
The Five Mindfulness Trainings are the basic statement of ethics and morality in Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh calls these trainings a "diet for a mindful society," and discusses the insights and challenges of how these precepts can heal our personal lives and the life of our society. Referred to as the Wonderful Precepts - "protecting life, acting with generosity, responsible sexual behavior, deep speaking and listening, and avoiding substance abuse" - these teachings can contribute to the discussion on finding secular guidelines that will allow us to sustain a compassionate life together.
Introduction by Joan Halifax. Afterword by Jack Kornfield.

The Complete Summer Cookbook Beat the Heat with 500 Recipes that Make the Most of Summer's Bounty
epub | 297.26 MB | English | America's Test Kitchen; | 2020 | Penguin Random House LLC (Publisher Services) | Page: 432
About The Complete Summer Cookbook Beat the Heat with 500 Recipes that Make the Most of Summer's Bounty :
The only cookbook you'll need during the year's warmest months
A hot day and hanging over your stove were never meant to be. When fresh produce beckons but you haven't much energy to respond, these recipes help you settle into a more relaxed kind of cooking designed to keep you and your kitchen cool. Untether yourself from the oven with make-ahead meals best served cold (or at room temp), like Poached Salmon with Cucumber and Tomato salad and Tzatziki. Fix-and-forget recipes like North Carolina-Style Pulled Pork made in the electric pressure cooker won't steam up the kitchen. Equally easy are dinner salads; we've got enough to keep them interesting and varied, from Shrimp and White Bean Salad with Garlic Toasts to Grilled Caesar Salad. Barely more effort are fresh summer recipes requiring the briefest stint in a pan, such as Beet and Carrot Noodle Salad with Chicken or Braised Striped Bass with Zucchini and Tomatoes.
Ready to take the party outside? You'll find all you need for casual patio meals prepared entirely on the grill (from meat to veggies, even pizza). Throw a fantastic cookout with easy starters, frosty drinks, and picnic must-haves like Picnic Fried Chicken, Classic Potato Salad, and Buttermilk Coleslaw. Visited the farmers' market? Find ideas for main dishes as well as sides inspired by the seasonal bounty, plus the best fruit desserts worth turning on the oven for. To end your meal on a cooler note, turn to a chapter of icebox desserts and no-bake sweets.

Rob Hart, MotherCloud
epub | 485.57 KB | French | Hart, Rob | 2019 | Place des éditeurs | Page: 367
About Rob Hart, MotherCloud :
Effrayant hommage à Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood ou George Orwell, MotherCloud nous entraîne dans un monde où le Big Business aurait supplanté Big Brother, un monde d'une perversion totale, pas si éloigné du nôtre.
Ex-petit patron désormais ruiné, Paxton n'aurait jamais pensé devoir intégrer une unité MotherCloud, cette superstructure de l'e-commerce qui a dévoré la moitié de l'économie mondiale. Pourtant, dans une société n'ayant plus rien à offrir, comment peut refuser un job qui propose non seulement un salaire, mais aussi un toit et à manger ?
La jeune Zinnia non plus n'aurait jamais pensé rejoindre MotherCloud, mais sa mission est tout autre : une révolution est en marche dont elle est le bras armé. Devenir salariée n'est qu'un premier pas pour infiltrer le système, en percer les secrets. Le détruire.
Dans cet univers où tout est calculé, paramétré, surveillé, où l'humain disparaît au profit de la rentabilité, où l'individu n'est qu'un algorithme, Zinnia et Paxton réalisent bientôt qu'il est impossible de dévier. À moins d'être prêt à se sacrifier ?
Car derrière sa façade d'entreprise idéale, MotherCloud est une machine à broyer, impitoyable à l'égard de ceux qui oseraient se rebeller.

As one town struggles to contain all of their love affairs and secrets, a local scandal forces Beth to confront her own devastating past.
Filled with the voices of mothers and daughters, husbands, lovers, and fathers, The House of Deep Water explores motherhood, trauma, love, loss, and new beginnings found in a most unlikely place: home.
