Harry Potter One-File Book Collection (books 1-4)
Just one click and you will enter the amazing world of Harry Potter. Here is a one-file collection of the first four books (american version) for you to enjoy! Let´s go to Hogwarts together!
Numbers in the Dark and Other Stories
A collection of previously uncollected stories from the late Italian fabulist.
This fine collection contains an interesting variety of selections, from parable to polemic, with complex and challenging characters, situations, and themes. Some of the older stories have allusions that may not be apparent to you, but the universal ideas are expressed in a new and clever way.
Calvino presents a different world view, expressed with wit, humor, irony, and wicked perception. Students who discover this book will be rewarded and tempted to read other works by this master storyteller.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Astronomy
Chris De Pree and Alan Axelrod present a comprehensive tour of the universe. Readers will enjoy the historical approach, starting with the ancients, moving on to Copernicus and Galileo, and ending in the modern era with Neil Armstrong and others.
This book provides an excellent guide not only for first-time observers, but also for experienced amateur astronomers.
Astronomical techniques, the solar system, stars, and the distant universe are described in a concise but thorough manner.
The simple physical concepts underlying these phenomena are presented as they are required.
Breaking the Da Vinci Code
This book assembles the pieces of the mystery surrounding the Da Vinci Code. Each chapter will probe what we know, how we know it, and what we have to think about together. We will review several ancient texts, for they unlock much of the history that The Da Vinci Code attempts to portray. If you get lost, turn to the Glossary in the back that gives the history of these ancient texts, defines major terms, and summarizes the major players. Treat the Glossary like tour guide information; it is there to make sure you know where you are. If you like Sherlock Holmes or Indiana Jones, I think you are in for an adventure. Only in this case, we are dealing with both fiction and history. What is the difference between virtual reality and historical reality when it comes to Jesus, Mary, and The Da Vinci Code? Let's see if we can find out.
The Language of Mathematics
Making the Invisible Visible
This book tries to convey the essence of mathematics, both its historical development and its current breadth.
It is not a 'how to' book; it is an 'about' book, which sets out to describe mathematics as a rich and living part of humankind's culture.
It is intended for the general reader, and does not assume any mathematical knowledge or ability.
