The Galveston Campaigns were a series of naval and overland battles that pitted Confederate General John B. Magruder and his often-improvised Confederate forces against General Nathaniel P. Banks and a variety of Union army and naval forces. A Federal fleet entered Galveston Bay on October 4, 1862, and the city surrendered after the expiration of a four-day truce. However, on New Year’s Day of 1863, Magruder coordinated a bold new attack to retake Galveston using a land bombardment and two cottonclad Confederate gunboats. Aided by victories at the Battle of Sabine Pass and two purely naval engagements in Texas waters, the city would remain in Southern hands and end the war as the last major Confederate port.

TWENTY YEARS OF BIALOWIEZA A MATHEMATICAL ANTHOLOGY ASPECTS OF DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRIC METHODS IN PHYSICS


Free Download S Twareque Ali, "TWENTY YEARS OF BIALOWIEZA: A MATHEMATICAL ANTHOLOGY: ASPECTS OF DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRIC METHODS IN PHYSICS "
English | ISBN: 9812561463 | 2005 | 276 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This volume marks the twentieth anniversary of the Bialowieza series of meetings on Differential Geometric Methods in Physics; the anniversary meeting was held during July 1-7, 2001. The Bialowieza meetings, held every year during the first week of July, have now grown into an annual pilgrimage for an international group of physicists and mathematicians. The topics discussed at the meetings, while within the broad area of differential geometric methods in physics, have focused around quantization, coherent states, infinite dimensional systems, symplectic geometry, spectral theory and harmonic analysis. The present volume brings together a set of specially invited papers from leading experts in the various fields, who have contributed to these meetings and whose work represents a cross-section of the topics discussed. Consequently, rather than a proceedings volume, this book embodies the spirit of the Bialowieza workshops and reflects their scientific tenor, as a tribute to the completion of two decades of a shared scientific experience.This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in the area of differential geometric methods in physics, as it gives interesting glimpses into the present state of the art from different points of view.

Life, Re-Scaled The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance


Free Download Liliane Campos, "Life, Re-Scaled: The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance"
English | ISBN: 1800647506 | 2022 | 420 pages | PDF | 54 MB
This edited volume explores new engagements with the life sciences in contemporary fiction, poetry, comics and performance. The gathered case studies investigate how recent creative work reframes the human within microscopic or macroscopic scales, from cellular biology to systems ecology, and engages with the ethical, philosophical, and political issues raised by the twenty-first century’s shifting views of life. The collection thus examines literature and performance as spaces that shape our contemporary biological imagination.

Twenty-Six Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus


Free Download Asher Norman, "Twenty-Six Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0977193705 | PDF | pages: 316 | 14.6 mb
In this seminal work, an attorney puts Jesus on trial. He explains to Jews, Christians and the theologically curious; why Jesus did not qualify as the Jewish messiah; why believing in Jesus cuts Jews off from God forever in the World To Come; how the Christian Bible has strategically mistranslated key verses in the "Old Testament" to shoehorn Jesus into the text. This compelling new book calls "un-Orthodox" Jews back to Torah Judaism.
