Great nations were declaring war against other nations. Bosnian rebels were plotting the overthrow of the Serbian government. Foreign leaders were regular targets of assassination. Religious freedom was under attack. The Catholic faith was being oppressed. World order hung in the balance. And against this hostile backdrop, three humble shepherd children were witness to a series of improbable visions that were destined to change the world. Near the majestic fields of Cova da Iria, in a pasture owned by the dos Santos family near the village of Fatima, Portugal, a woman who shone more brilliant than the sun, simply and dramatically appeared. For six consecutive months, the woman, who identified herself only as "Our Lady of the Rosary," would reveal messages so poignant and urgent that this extraordinary occurrence has grown into a worldwide devotion that continues to thrive to this very day. Now, with the perspective of one hundred years of history and controversy, historian Paul F. Caranci retells the story presenting a unique hour-by-hour, day-by-day account of the events surrounding the appearance as they unfolded. And he describes how through it all, the message of Fatima has created enormous change in the hearts of many, a change that is needed in everyone if the peace foretold and promised by "Our Lady of the Rosary" is to be realized.

The Eaton is the award-winning debut novel of John K. Addis. Spanning over 100 years of mid-Michigan history, but written in the gruesome style of '80s horror classics, The Eaton tells the story of Sam Spicer, who purchases the dilapidated Michigan Central Railroad Depot in Eaton Rapids with the dream of opening a hot new martini bar. But when he and his friends unearth an abandoned underground hotel directly beneath the property, they must discover what happened to the original guests-before their own time runs out.An Amazon and Audible Best-Seller Over 1,000 Four-Star and Five-Star Reviews"The Eaton is the best kind of horror." - Midwest Book Review"The Eaton is an astonishing debut. A tense and suspenseful thriller set in Mid-Michigan, filled with historical information, I could not put this down! Fresh, original, and truly terrifying." - Kirk Montgomery, WILX-TV"It's not often I find myself so absorbed in a book that grabs my attention from the onset up until the last page. It's fast-paced, macabre and full of gritty atmospheric settings, along with a relentlessly chilling plot from an author who's mastered the genre!" - Catherine Rose Putsche, Author of The Surgeon's Son"This book is so well-plotted, and the characters feel so real, that you will be as terrorized as they are. Some of the images are so vivid that I had to put The Eaton down for a few minutes, let myself relax, take a few breaths, then I could continue. You have to keep reading to see what happens next, even if you are afraid to find out."- Bill Mackela, Bill's Book Reviews"Reminiscent of an old-school Stephen King novel, The Eaton will hold you captive from its first paragraph to its shocking conclusion. This spell-binding thriller kept me guessing all the way through, and left me anxiously hoping for a sequel." - Jenn Carpenter, So Dead Podcast, Author of Haunted Lansing"Amazing debut by a really talented author. This is one of those books that will stick with you after you read it-Addis does a great job of putting you in the action." - Alec Drachman, Goodreads"What Addis does best is convey to the reader the slow rising terror as the characters realize their situation. I don't want to give anything thing away because finding out what is in the hotel, where it came from and how it works is part of the creepy fun. It is hard to creep me out and this one did it. - Sharon Stogner, I Smell Sheep Reviews"The Eaton is a great book. I would recommend The Eaton to anyone who loves a good horror story with rich, well-developed characters who all have their secrets they would like to keep hidden, but are faced with a horror they've never met." - Melanie Marsh, FangFreakinTasticReviews.com"Addis pens plenty of suspense, gore, disturbing imagery, and edge-of-your-seat tension throughout the entire text. The book, as a whole, is inviting, intriguing, and worth investing in. Plus, Addis manages to create independent, smart female characters, not something you see every day in a horror novel." - Julia Gaskill, Portland Book Review"Out-and-out thrilling horror and an absolute page-turner- it had me wanting 'just another chapter.' But it is, I think, also a little more than that. Addis explores a number of very contemporary and relatable concerns here regarding the relationship between the characters and their pasts. This is a great read and I guarantee horror fans are about to be as hooked in as I was." - Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite

This unique textbook presents a novel, axiomatic pedagogical path from classical to quantum physics. Readers are introduced to the description of classical mechanics, which rests on Euler's and Helmholtz's rather than Newton's or Hamilton's representations. Special attention is given to the common attributes rather than to the differences between classical and quantum mechanics. Readers will also learn about Schrödinger's forgotten demands on quantization, his equation, Einstein's idea of 'quantization as selection problem'. The Schrödinger equation is derived without any assumptions about the nature of quantum systems, such as interference and superposition, or the existence of a quantum of action, h. The use of the classical expressions for the potential and kinetic energies within quantum physics is justified. Key features: Presents extensive reference to original texts. Includes many details that do not enter contemporary representations of classical mechanics, although these details are essential for understanding quantum physics.Contains a simple level of mathematics which is seldom higher than that of the common (Riemannian) integral. Brings information about important scientistsCarefully introduces basic equations, notations and quantities in simple steps This book addresses the needs of physics students, teachers and historians with its simple easy to understand presentation and comprehensive approach to both classical and quantum mechanics.

To this good end, commentaries in this series attend not only to lexical, historical, and critical concerns but are also attuned to and interested in, as the subtitle of each volume signals, literary matters and theological meaning"--

Crônicas do Limiar de um Novo AnoEste livro é uma continuação da série que iniciei com o livro "Casos e Percepções de um Professor", publicado em 2016; contém crônicas escritas no período de dezembro de 2018 a fevereiro de 2019. Os assuntos abordados nas microcrônicas são variados. Bem resumidamente, este livro contém pitadas de conhecimento, contextos dos quais se podem extrair conhecimento ou casos em que sobressaem situações engraçadas, com alguma perspectiva de conhecimento. Como seleciono os tópicos, os assuntos tratados? Não há um padrão. A rigor, o único critério é me chamar atenção. Pronto! É suficiente para eu levar ao computador. Como neste semestre o assunto mais discutido no país foi a eleição, a política aparece em muitas notas.Procuro exercitar a concisão nos textos. Há ocasiões em que levo algum tempo procurando a palavra exata, que me permita escrever menos. É idiossincrasia do nosso tempo que as coisas sejam breves. Sigo este lema. Por isso, os casos são contados sem palavras desnecessárias, com alvo determinado, do qual procuro não me afastar. Outra coisa: fujo dos clichês, das gírias, das redundâncias, da topologia pronominal incorreta, dos erros de concordância nominal e verbal, da ambiguidade, dos erros de regência nominal e verbal, da deselegância de frases sem paralelismo sintático, da prolixidade, da má sonoridade das frases. Em grande parte das vezes, eu apenas proponho uma situação, sem extrair conclusões. Às vezes, a chave da nota é posta no título, e o texto sequer a menciona. O leitor que perscrute o sentido da escrita e tire suas conclusões, como quiser. O livro traz 106 textos em 158 páginas.Que a leitura possibilite reflexão, conhecimento, riso.
