Der Kapitalismus hat fast jeden Winkel der Erde erobert, er ist das beherrschende System und den meisten Menschen scheint eine Alternative unvorstellbar. Warum eigentlich ist er so erfolgreich? Der berühmte Sozialist und Schriftsteller Paul Lafargue war sich sicher: Weil der Kapitalismus eine Religion ist – nicht irgendeine, sondern die effektivste. In seiner erstmals im Jahr 1886 veröffentlichten Satire »Die Religion des Kapitals« beschreibt er die Grundideen dieser Religion, ihre Herkunft und somit das Geheimnis ihres Erfolges. »Das Kapital ist der Gott, den alle Welt kennt, sieht, fühlt, riecht, schmeckt: er existiert für alle unsere Sinne. Er ist der einzige Gott, der noch auf keinen Atheisten gestoßen ist. …Das Kapital kennt weder Grenzen noch Nationalitäten, weder Rassen noch Geschlechter, es ist der internationale Gott, der Gott aller; er wird die Kinder der Menschen unter sein Gesetz beugen.«

Wie Phönix aus der Asche ist die menschliche Zivilisation im System der Wega aus den Zerstörungen des Krieges gegen den Hive emporgestiegen. Wie Perlen umkreisen große Habitate die einstmals dicht besiedelte Hauptwelt und ein neues Zeitalter voller Größe und Eleganz scheint angebrochen. Doch der schöne Schein ist nicht ohne Makel, wie Sia, Ryk, Uruhard und Momo herausfinden dürfen. Innere Spannungen bedrohen die heile Welt. Als die Suchenden herausfinden, dass auch der hiesige Hive nicht ganz so friedlich ist, wie er zu sein scheint, wird eine unheilvolle Kette an Ereignissen ausgelöst, an deren Ende eine schreckliche Erkenntnis steht. Bizarre Rituale, eine mysteriöse Künstliche Intelligenz, ein böses Erwachen und der drohende Zusammenbruch einer Gesellschaft, basierend auf einer Lüge: Je tiefer die Verwicklung der Vier in die Eskalation wird, desto ungewisser ist die Aussicht, ob sie jemals ihre Reise zum Letzten Admiral werden fortsetzen können.

We all have them, most of us see them, but only a few people pay attention to them: the scattered, transparent and mobile dots and strands in our field of vision. In ophthalmology, they are called "eye floaters" and explained as vitreous opacities. But is this explanation correct? In this book, the author Floco Tausin follows the seers experience that eye floaters are not a cloudiness of the vitreous humour, but a shining structure and an expression of our state of consciousness. In this collection of previously published and revised texts, the author reconciles the physiological, the ophthalmological and the seers understanding of floaters. Eye floaters are discussed as a phenomenon between science and religion, as a challenge to ophthalmology, as an expression of our visual nervous system, and as a starting point to an alternative spiritual treatment of migraine headache.

Welcome to the3 Books To Knowseries, our idea is to help readers learn about fascinating topics through three essential and relevant books. These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is:Paris - Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo - The Ladies' Paradise by Émile Zola - The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LerouxVictor Hugo began writing Notre-Dame de Paris in 1829, largely to make his contemporaries more aware of the value of the Gothic architecture, which was neglected and often destroyed to be replaced by new buildings or defaced by replacement of parts of buildings in a newer style. For instance, the medieval stained glass panels of Notre-Dame de Paris had been replaced by white glass to let more light into the church. This explains the large descriptive sections of the book, which far exceed the requirements of the story. A few years earlier, Hugo had already published a paper entitled Guerre aux Démolisseurs (War to the Demolishers) specifically aimed at saving Paris' medieval architecture. The Ladies' Paradise is the eleventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart series by Émile Zola. It was first serialized in the periodical Gil Blas and published in novel form by Charpentier in 1883. The novel is set in the world of the department store, an innovative development in mid-nineteenth century retail sales. Zola models his store after Le Bon Marché, which consolidated under one roof many of the goods hitherto sold in separate shops. The narrative details many of Le Bon Marché's innovations, including its mail-order business, its system of commissions, its in-house staff commissary, and its methods of receiving and retailing goods. The Phantom of the Opera is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909, to 8 January 1910. It was published in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte and directed by Aluel Malinao. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz. It has been successfully adapted into various stage and film adaptations, most notable of which are the 1925 film depiction featuring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics

Los Ensayos No Destructivos son métodos que permiten ensayar materiales, piezas y componentes sin destruirlos, de forma que determinen si estos elementos son utilizables para un determinado fin o no. Los métodos de END se utilizan desde la más remota antigüedad en todo tipo de industrias y en las más variadas actividades. La Asociación Española de Ensayos No Destructivos y la Fundación Confemetal son conscientes del déficit de conocimientos que sobre Ensayos No Destructivos existe en España. La Industria requiere personal certificado para la realización de estos ensayos, personal que debe tener una formación y conocimientos adecuados para poder certificarse. Las premisas anteriores han motivado que la AEND y FC Editorial, traten de resolver el problema existente y que el tejido industrial disponga de un conjunto de manuales adecuados a dicha formación, sin que éstos sean enciclopedias de difícil manejo ni simples catálogos más informativos que formativos. Este manual corresponde a la serie que ambas entidades han puesto en el mercado y se refiere al método de Corrientes Inducidas, de amplia utilización, por ejemplo, en las industrias metal - mecánicas, nuclear, aeronáutica y de automoción.

The thesis will try to summarise the major power system problems and the important role of the FACTS devices to enhance the power system quality. Then, it will give a brief description for various FACTS and Active Filters controllers as mentioned on the existing publications. Most of the control schemes introduced in the existing papers were designed either for eliminating current harmonics or eliminating voltage flickers or for load flow control. So, this work is devoted to find a proper optimal control schemes for a system with series or shunt or series and shunt converters that can provide all functions together.Various optimal control schemes will be designed for systems with series, shunt and series-shunt converters with the objective to control the load flow through a lines and to eliminate current harmonics and voltage flickers with different strategies for tracking. Chapter 1: Gives a general description of most power system problems and the basic techniques used to improve the power system quality. It also gives idea about basic objectives from the FACTS devices.Chapter 2: Offers detailed description for the basic types of FACTS devices and active filters existing in power industry.Chapter 3: Describes various shunt controllers for control of the Static Compensator (STATCOM) and various series controllers for the control of the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and various Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFC) as covered in most existing papers.Chapter 4: Describes the major control schemes for the shunt active filter as covered by most existing papers.Chapter 5: Describes the major control schemes for the other types of active filters as covered by most existing papers.Chapter 6: Gives description for optimal control design.Chapter 7: Case studies to design different optimal control schemes for system with UPFC unit to control the power flow, eliminate voltage flicker and eliminate current harmonics. The case studies were repeated for system with only series or shunt converters.
