Rough draughts of some of the following tales and essays were actually written during a residence in the Alhambra, others were subsequently added, founded on notes and observations made there. Care was taken to maintain local coloring and verisimilitude, so that the whole might present a faithful and living picture of that microcosm, that singular little world into which I had been fortuitously thrown, and about which the external world had a ...
The volume of short stories which, in the first complete edition of the Comedie, opens with Les Marana, contains, with that in which La Recherche de l'Absolu leads off, the very finest productions of the author on a small scale, and they now appear together, La Recherche excepted. Almost all the pieces herein contained were early work, written when Balzac was under the combined excitement of his emergence from the valley of the shadow in which...
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 - November 14, 1831) was a German philosopher. He was born in Stuttgart, southwest Germany. One of his biggest achievements was to introduce the idea that History and the concrete are important in getting out of the circle of philosophia perennis, i.e., the perennial problems of philosophy.
His influence has been widespread on writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (F. H...
Bayesian methods combine information available from data with any prior information available from expert knowledge. The Bayes linear approach follows this path, offering a quantitative structure for expressing beliefs, and systematic methods for adjusting these beliefs, given observational data. The methodology differs from the full Bayesian methodology in that it establishes simpler approaches to belief specification and analysis based aroun...
Praise for 'Theory of Evolution and Relaxation of Multi-Spin Systems': ". it provides a lucid and systematic development of a very complex area of modern theory involving spin dynamics driven by complex, non-commuting hamiltonians.

"Dr. Kruk's manuscript is an extremely...

It is a great pleasure to tell how I served my apprenticeship as a business man. But there seems to be a question preceding this: Why did I become a business man! I am sure that I should never have selected a business career if I had been permitted to choose...
What is Cosmic Consciousness ? The present volume is an attempt to answer this question , but notwithstanding it seems well to make a short prefatory statement in as plain language as possible so as to open the door, as it were, for the more elaborate exposition to be attempted in the body of the work. Cosmic Conciousness, then, is a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man...

But, to-day, ...
