If there were such a thing as karma, Gregor would say he had itbad karma. His mental illness has been present practically since birth. During early childhood, Gregor already knows hes different. As he grows to be an adult, those differences become violently apparent. He is a monster born, not made, and his extremely disturbed mental state is a thing of nightmares. Told in a series of chilling vignettes, G: The Story of a Madman is a character study of one mans descent into pure evil. It begins with Baby G, a tale of Gregors upbringing. A few years later, run into him again in Friends. Next, follow Gregor to New York City as he escapes his history to start anew in the Big Apple. Finally, the Psycho G series takes readers deepest into the darkness of this antihero. For author Bill Evans, writing is the priceless ability to show the things we dare not think or say in real life. It is a pure art form that reflects the truth of the human condition, no matter how dark and deviant. The stories in G do not pull any punches as Gregor grows to become the monster in all our minds and openly portrays the horrors we refuse to accept.
Each individual Defining Moments ebook is a fascinating look at the remarkable ways in which God has used an ordinary person to change history. But it is about more than history alone—it illuminates the present and unveils the future. Prophetic in nature, it reveals how God wants to work in each of our lives to fulfill His purposes—today, tomorrow, and in the years to come. The stories in the Defining Moments collection of God-encounters carry a prophetic anointing for all who have ears to hear. Author Bill Johnson highlights the significant traits and contributions of many well-known revival leaders, including John Wesley, Charles Finney, Dwight L. Moody, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Carrie Judd Montgomery, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Evan Roberts, Rees Howells, Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kuhlman, Randy Clark, and Heidi Baker. He explains the impact these leaders can have on us today as we respond to the life-changing truths revealed through their life stories. There is power in knowing the testimonies of men and women who experienced God in a defining moment and said yes to His unique call on their lives. It is a power that inspires us to hunger for God in such a way that we, too, will have an encounter with Him that launches us into the world of the “impossible,” enabling us to fulfill a greater measure of our destiny. Read this ebook with a sense of readiness, and watch what happens.

This book is the result of many years of research in Non-Euclidean Geometries and Geometry of Lie groups, as well as teaching at Moscow State University (1947- 1949), Azerbaijan State University (Baku) (1950-1955), Kolomna Pedagogical Col lege (1955-1970), Moscow Pedagogical University (1971-1990), and Pennsylvania State University (1990-1995). My first books on Non-Euclidean Geometries and Geometry of Lie groups were written in Russian and published in Moscow: Non-Euclidean Geometries (1955) [Ro1] , Multidimensional Spaces (1966) [Ro2] , and Non-Euclidean Spaces (1969) [Ro3]. In [Ro1] I considered non-Euclidean geometries in the broad sense, as geometry of simple Lie groups, since classical non-Euclidean geometries, hyperbolic and elliptic, are geometries of simple Lie groups of classes Bn and D , and geometries of complex n and quaternionic Hermitian elliptic and hyperbolic spaces are geometries of simple Lie groups of classes An and en. [Ro1] contains an exposition of the geometry of classical real non-Euclidean spaces and their interpretations as hyperspheres with identified antipodal points in Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean spaces, and in projective and conformal spaces. Numerous interpretations of various spaces different from our usual space allow us, like stereoscopic vision, to see many traits of these spaces absent in the usual space.

Mathematics is often seen only as a tool for science, engineering, and other quantitative disciplines. Lost in the focus on the tools are the intricate interconnecting patterns of logic and ingenious methods of representation discovered over millennia which form the broader themes of the subject. This book, building from the basics of numbers, algebra, and geometry provides sufficient background to make these themes accessible to those not specializing in mathematics. The various topics are also covered within the historical context of their development and include such great innovators as Euclid, Descartes, Newton, Cauchy, Gauss, Lobachevsky, Riemann, Cantor, and Gödel, whose contributions would shape the directions that mathematics would take. The detailed explanations of all subject matter along with extensive references are provided with the goal of allowing readers an entrée to a lifetime of the unique pleasures of mathematics. Topics include the axiomatic development of number systems and their algebraic rules, the role of infinity in the real and transfinite numbers, logic, and the axiomatic path from traditional to non-Euclidean geometries. The themes of algebra and geometry are then brought together through the concepts of analytic geometry and functions. With this background, more advanced topics are introduced: sequences, vectors, tensors, matrices, calculus, set theory, and topology. Drawing the common themes of this book together, the final chapter discusses the struggle over the meaning of mathematics in the twentieth century and provides a meditation on its success

The authors describe mostly in non-technical language the development of a new scientific paradigm based on nonlinear deterministic dynamics and fractal geometry. The concepts from these two mathematical disciplines are interwoven with data from the physical, social and life sciences. In this way rather sophisticated mathematical concepts are made accessible through experimental data from various disciplines, and the formalism is relegated to appendices. It is shown that the complexity of natural and social phenomena invariably lead to inverse power law distributions, both in terms of probabilities and spectra. This book tries to show how to think differently about familiar phenomena, such as why the bell-shape curve ought not to be used in teaching or in the characterization of such complex phenomena as intelligence.

It includes Live Upgrade conversion to a ZFS root filesystem and Zone/ZFS inter-operation. Plus, all chapters have been updated to reflect the Solaris 10 10/08 enhancements.
