E-book John Dewey : The Global Public and Its Problems

It might seem rather bizarre to claim that a return to the work of John Dewey can offer a greater appreciation of globalization and global democracy at the start of the twenty-first century.

Some stars became enormous and then exploded as supernovae, releasing the energy needed to fuse sim…

E-book Morals not Knowledge

As my writing has unfolded over the years it was not until recently that I was able to see the connections between my seemingly varied interests.

Dan kenyataan itu dipertajam dan diperluas oleh teknologi digital ketika semua hal parad…

Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements

All deflection instruments require three forces for correct functioning; deflecting force, a controlling force, and a damping force. Usually, the deflecting force is generated by a magnetic field produced by a current flowing through a coil. This field interacts with another magnetic field which may be form permanent magnet or from other current carrying coils.

Computers architecture is concerned with the structure and behavior of digital computers.

E-book Master skylark

There was an unwonted buzzing in the east end of Stratford on that next to the last day of April, 1596. It was as if some one had thrust a stick into a hive of bees and they had come whirling out to see. The low stone guard-wall of old Clopton bridge, built a hundred years before by rich Sir Hugh, sometime Mayor of London, was lined with straddling boys, like strawberries upon a spear of gr…

E-book Till the clock stops

On a certain brilliant Spring morning in London's City the seed of the Story was lightly sown. Within the directors' room of the Aasvogel Syndicate, Manchester House, New Broad Street, was done and hidden away a deed, simple and commonplace, which in due season was fated to yield a weighty crop of consequences complex and extraordinary. At the table, pen in hand, sat a young man, slight of…

E-book The unspeakable gentleman

I have seen the improbable turn true too often not to have it disturb me. Suppose these memoirs still exist when the French royalist plot of 1805 and my father's peculiar role in it are forgotten. I cannot help but remember it is a restless land across the water. But surely people will continue to recollect. Surely these few pages, written with the sole purpose of explaining my father's pa…

E-book The queen of the air

My days and strength have lately been much broken; and I never more felt the insufficiency of both than in preparing for the press the following desultory memoranda on a most noble subject. But I leave them now as they stand, for no time nor labor would be enough to complete them to my contentment; and I believe that they contain suggestions which may be followed with safety, by persons wh…

E-book The thirty nine steps

I returned from the City about three o’clock on that May afternoon pretty well disgusted with life. I had been three months in the Old Country, and was fed up with it. If anyone had told me a year ago that I would have been feeling like that I should have laughed at him; but there was the fact. The weather made me liverish, the talk of the ordinary Englishman made me sick, I couldn’t get en…
