Ostali autori: A. Sukomel Opis: Problems in Heat Transfer is a book by E.A. Krasnoshchekov and A.S. Sukomel, published by Mir Publishers in 1977. It is a collection of problems related to heat transfer, translated from Russian by S. Semyonov. The book includes solutions to typical problems, particularly those related to nuclear power plants, and provides reference material for solving the problems. The book covers various aspects of heat transfer, including: Steady-State Conduction: This chapter deals with heat transfer through materials when the temperature distribution remains constant over time. Transient Conduction: This section focuses on heat transfer where the temperature distribution changes with time. Treatment of Test Data by the Method of the Theory of Similarity: This chapter likely involves using dimensionless groups and similarity principles to analyze experimental data related to heat transfer. Heat Transfer for a Plate in Forced Longitudinal Flow: This section deals with heat transfer when a fluid flows parallel to a flat surface. Heat Transfer and Hydraulic Resistance with Forced Flow of Fluid in Tubes: This chapter explores heat transfer and pressure drop in tubes when a fluid is forced through them. Heat Transfer with Tubes in Forced Cross Flow: This section focuses on heat transfer when a fluid flows perpendicular to a tube.
Proceedings of a Royal Society Discussion Meeting held on 4 and 5 February 1987. The leading scientists who gave these papers under the sponsorship of the Royal Society in early 1987 provide reviews of facets of the subject of chaos ranging from the practical aspects of mirror machines for fusion power to the pure mathematics of geodesics on surfaces of negative curvature. The papers deal with systems in which chaotic conditions arise from initial value problems with unique solutions, as opposed to those where chaos is produced by the introduction of noise from an external source.

First edition of one of the most celebrated works of twentieth-century Russian literature. An appealing example. Subtitled an experiment in literary investigation, Solzhenitsyn’s epic work blurs the boundaries of historiography and novel-writing, as the Nobel Prize-winning author draws on his own experience of eight years in the Gulag (the acronym stands for Main Directorate of Correctional Labour Camps) followed by internal exile, for criticising Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. He also weaves his narrative from the personal testimony of fellow inmates and a plethora of legal and personal documents. As historian Roy Medvedev writes: I believe there are few who will get up from their desks after reading this book the same as when they opened its first page. In this regard I have nothing with which to compare Solzhenitsyn’s book either in Russian or world literature. Solzhenitsyn worked on The Gulag Archipelago from 1958 to 1968, but held back from attempting to publish it until his hand was forced by the KGB’s discovery of a copy of one of his typescripts in 1973.A microfilm had been sent to the West a few years earlier and after the discovery of the typescript in Moscow, he ordered the YMCA Press in Paris to go to print in order to forestall any possible machinations by the KGB. This is the first complete, regular edition, published from 1973 to 1975, after Volume 1 appeared by itself in a limited run of around 200 copies earlier in 1973. Publishers in the West raced to produce translations of this literary bombshell, with English and French versions of Volume 1 appearing as early as 1974. Provenance: Physical description:Three volumes. 8vo (19.3 x 13.6 cm). Complete with b&w illustrations in text. Publisher’s illustratedwrappers. Vol 1 : 1918-1956.

This 1976 text is a pioneering study in the applications to archaeology of modern statistical and quantitative techniques. The authors show how these techniques, when sensitively employed, can dramatically extend and refine the information presented in distribution maps and other analyses of spatial relationships. Techniques of interpretation ‘by inspection’ can now be made more powerful and rigorous; at the same time interest has turned from the examination of such sites and artefacts as ‘things’ to the spatial relationships between such things, their relationships to one another and to landscape features, soils and other resources. This book was the first to apply the available techniques systematically to the special problems and interests of archaeologists. It also demonstrates to geographers and other social scientists who may be familiar with analogous applications in their own fields the exciting interdisciplinary developments this facilitates, for example in studies of exchange networks, trade and settlement patterns, and cultural history.
A Witchlands novel. Two best friends use their magic to save the world from war and corruption in Susan Dennard’s New York Times bestselling YA fantasy, Truthwitch. On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a witchery, a magical skill that sets them apart from others. In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble-as two desperate young women know all too well. Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It’s a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires. Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her-but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safiya’s hotheaded impulsiveness. Safiya and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and privateer) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.

Koristeći bogato znanje iz različitih ezoteričkih tradicija i religija, kao i suvremenih psiholoških i psihoterapijskih pravaca, vođena intuitivnom mudrošću, autorica nam omogućuje da s njom istražujemo različite aspekte fizičkog, emocionalnog, mentalnog i duhovnog svijeta, postajući svjesni zajedničke niti koja ih sve povezuje, isprepliće i spaja u jedinstvenu sliku holograma. – Melita Reiner, specijalist kliničke psihologije
Knjiga Kada je naš svijet postao kršćanski (312 – 394) sažeti je prikaz jednoga od najznačajnijih događaja u povijesti Europe: proglašenja kršćanstva službenom religijom Rimskoga Carstva. U knjizi Veyne portretira cara Konstantina, osobu uvjerenu u svoju povijesnu misiju, ali također vještoga političara, i prikazuje institucionalizaciju kršćanstva, koje od male sekte postaje značajna politička sila. No nije riječ o suhoparnom povijesnom pregledu, jer osim živa Veyneova jezika, u pozadini knjige neprestano se provlače neka od ključnih pitanja današnje Europe, poput pitanja odnosa religije i politike, postojanja službene nacionalne ideologije i u konačnici, pitanje je li europska civilizacija fundamentalno određena svojim kršćanskim nasljeđem. Kada je naš svijet postao kršćanski (312 – 394) uspijeva kroz povijesno istraživanje tematizirati relevantne probleme aktualnosti.
U knjizi Priznanje: europska povijest jedne ideje Axel Honneth istražuje razvoj jednoga od ključnih pojmova moderne političke filozofije u različitim europskim misaonim tradicijama i utjecaj njihove društvene situacije na razlike u njegovu shvaćanju. Značajni su europski mislioci pod općenitom idejom priznanja (Anerkennung, reconnaissance, recognition) kao uvažavanja drugih pojedinaca promišljali uvjete postojanja političke zajednice, ali ispod te općenite odredbe kriju se radikalno drugačija shvaćanja ljudske prirode. Polazeći od ključnih autora francuske (Montaigne, La Rochefoucauld, Rousseau), engleske (Hobbes, Hume, Smith, Mill) i njemačke (Kant, Fichte, Hegel) političke misli Honneth kroz tri poglavlja pokazuje kako temeljna razmimoilaženja tih tradicija u bitnome određuju i suvremene mislioce tih kulturnih krugova i na taj način doprinosi sagledavanju povijesnih izvora i mogućnosti europske političke situacije danas. Axel Honneth njemački je filozof i profesor na Sveučilištu u Frankfurtu i Sveučilištu Columbia. Također je bivši ravnatelj Instituta za društvena istraživanja u Frankfurtu. Pripadnik je takozvane Frankfurtske škole kritičke teorije. U svojem se radu prvenstveno bavi teorijom demokracije i teorijskim načelima kritičke teorije.
