Book Description
My Circle: An intense story told through poetry. It tells of the struggles and triumphs of a young woman who is trying to find who she is and where she belongs. While, she deals with those set backs, she still has to endure the cruelty of an unfair world. It is a raw world that has little room for a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve. She experiences the highs of deceitful love and lows of its consequences; but finds a way to stay afloat with her love for God. Her world is a rotating sphere on an unstable axis called her soul. Welcome to her life as she sees it, her circle. "I want to ascend into the heavens of understanding with you, where our only company are those of muses..."

How Round Is Your Circle?
Author: John Bryant
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400837952
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
How do you draw a straight line? How do you determine if a circle is really round? These may sound like simple or even trivial mathematical problems, but to an engineer the answers can mean the difference between success and failure. How Round Is Your Circle? invites readers to explore many of the same fundamental questions that working engineers deal with every day--it's challenging, hands-on, and fun. John Bryant and Chris Sangwin illustrate how physical models are created from abstract mathematical ones. Using elementary geometry and trigonometry, they guide readers through paper-and-pencil reconstructions of mathematical problems and show them how to construct actual physical models themselves--directions included. It's an effective and entertaining way to explain how applied mathematics and engineering work together to solve problems, everything from keeping a piston aligned in its cylinder to ensuring that automotive driveshafts rotate smoothly. Intriguingly, checking the roundness of a manufactured object is trickier than one might think. When does the width of a saw blade affect an engineer's calculations--or, for that matter, the width of a physical line? When does a measurement need to be exact and when will an approximation suffice? Bryant and Sangwin tackle questions like these and enliven their discussions with many fascinating highlights from engineering history. Generously illustrated, How Round Is Your Circle? reveals some of the hidden complexities in everyday things.

Detox Your Circle, Activate Your Destiny
Author: Ernest Sears Jr
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982219823
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
After doing over fifteen years of hard time in a cubicle or office, you and your laptop have found Nirvana at the Starbucks around the corner. Mercifully, the career is over; the kids are gone. Now there is nothing left to distract you from the elephant in the room. You stare at your significant other with the most disconcerting doubts about whether the relationship has run its natural course. You own up to your part in friendships that have become more like placeholders. Years of meaningless, if tenuous, connection have left you hollow. Detox Your Circle, Activate Your Destiny establishes the premise for removing thirteen toxic elements—people, self-sabotaging behaviors, baggage, and meaningless rituals, to name a few—and demonstrates how decluttering can trigger a very powerful clarity. When we detox our Rolodex, our true nature and essence attract more of who we are. What ensues is a resonance that sets the tone and cosmic parameters for fulfilling destiny.

The Inner Circle - Book One
Author: Peter Blachly
Publisher: Sheep Island Press
ISBN: 9781737228004
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Peter Macdonald Blachly takes us on a unique adventure, documenting the seventeen years he spent in a spiritual cult, while providing candid insights into the circumstances and conditions that set him up for manipulation by a charismatic and malevolent narcissist posing as a spiritual teacher. He provides a colorful and spellbinding description of adventures in India where he travels extensively with a group of fellow converts performing the sacred music of the Sikhs for audiences of tens of thousands. Back in the US, he forms a "spiritual" rock band that tours the country from Maine to Vancouver, weaving his travel adventures together with his own journey of spiritual awakening and his gradual disillusionment and eventual break from his Guru. Blachly's understanding of psychology and human frailties, make the lessons he draws from his own experiences universal and highly relevant today, when personality cults have infected both the political and religious life of the nation. While he pulls no punches about the moral failings of his Guru, the book is not an expose. Instead, while acknowledging that most people who started studying yoga with him in the late 1960s and early '70s did not join the cult, he writes with humor and introspection about his own vulnerabilities and the misplaced idealism that set him up for exploitation. Regarded by his fellow Sikhs as a powerful personality and pillar of the community, he is unflinching about acknowledging his own fractured sense of identity that he struggles to overcome. Most of all, "The Inner Circle" is an entertaining and compelling read about his journey into and back out of a cult that remains active today.
