Illuminati (Ungekurzt)
Автор: Дэн Браун
Год издания: 0000
Ein Kernforscher wird in seinem Schweizer Labor ermordet aufgefunden. Auf seiner Brust finden sich merkwurdige Symbole eingraviert, Symbole, die nur der Harvardprofessor Robert Langdon zu entziffern vermag. Was er dabei entdeckt, erschreckt ihn zutiefst: Die Symbole gehoren zu der legendaren Geheimgesellschaft der Illuminati. Diese Gemeinschaft scheint wieder zum Leben erweckt zu sein, und sie verfolgt einen finsteren Plan, denn aus dem Labor des ermordeten Kernforschers wurde Antimaterie entwendet.
Illuminationes
Автор: Эдуард Лимонов
Год издания:
Новая книга живого классика отечественной литературы удивит даже самых закаленных почитателей Эдуарда Лимонова. Перед нами гностическое учение о смысле и предназначении человеческой жизни, проповедь, рассказанная задиристым и себялюбивым старцем, не устающим ниспровергать предшественников и не стесняющимся увидеть мистическую подоплеку в самых, казалось бы, бытовых моментах собственной биографии. Когда Лимонов предложил рукопись к изданию, мы долго колебались. На прямой вопрос: «Зачем вы это написали и надо ли это издавать?» – Эдуард ответил, что он осознает необычный характер книги, но доверяет собственной интуиции, которая говорит, что о таких сюжетах только так и можно писать. Мы оставляем читателю право самому убедиться в точности авторского предположения. В конце концов, место Лимонова в истории и литературы, и общественной жизни страны – особое. Во многом за счет личной храбрости и амбициозности задач, которые он перед собой ставит.
Illumination Engineering. Design with Nonimaging Optics
Автор: R. Koshel John
Год издания:
This book brings together experts in the field who present material on a number of important and growing topics including lighting, displays, solar concentrators. The first chapter provides an overview of the field of nonimagin and illumination optics. Included in this chapter are terminology, units, definitions, and descriptions of the optical components used in illumination systems. The next two chapters provide material within the theoretical domain, including etendue, etendue squeezing, and the skew invariant. The remaining chapters focus on growing applications. This entire field of nonimaging optics is an evolving field, and the editor plans to update the technological progress every two to three years. The editor, John Koshel, is one of the most prominent leading experts in this field, and he is the right expert to perform the task.
Divine Illumination. The History and Future of Augustine's Theory of Knowledge
Автор: Lydia Schumacher
Год издания:
In Divine Illumination, Schumacher offers an original approach to Augustine's theory of divine illumination, the precondition of all human knowledge. Written with great originality and clarity, she traces the idea through medieval thinkers, into early modernity, and reveals its importance in modern theories of knowledge. Takes an original approach to reading Augustine's theory of divine illumination and shows how the theory was transformed and reinterpreted in medieval philosophy and theology Presents a groundbreaking way of thinking about the writings of Augustine, Anselm, Bonaventure, Aquinas, and John Duns Scotus, and relates this to cutting edge questions in contemporary philosophy of religion, especially epistemology Is a significant contribution to the history of philosophy but also to contemporary debates on faith and reason Lays the foundation for future efforts to come to terms with the contemporary epistemological situation and its inherent problems
Illumination, Color and Imaging. Evaluation and Optimization of Visual Displays
Автор: Khan T. Q.
Год издания:
This much needed, comprehensive and modern reference on display technology, illumination sources and color imaging focuses on visual effects and how reproduced images are best matched to human visual features. As such, it teaches readers how to exploit the knowledge of human color information processing to design usable, ergonomic, and pleasing displays or visual environments. The contents describe design principles and methods to optimize self-luminous visual technologies for the human user, including modern still and motion image displays, and indoor light sources. Design principles and methods are derived from the knowledge of the human visual system, with a special emphasis on color vision, color cognition, color harmony, color preference and visually evoked emotions. The expert authors include the most important and latest applications of the design principles and methods, forming a comprehensive view of human color information processing from the receptors through the retina via high-level visual perception right up to the level of cognition, preference, harmony, as well as visually evoked emotions. This book is included in the Wiley SID Series.
