Book Description
When Ah Ying is kidnapped, she must escape from her life of slavery, while being pursued by gangs and missionaries, in order to find true love in San Francisco's Chinatown at the turn of the 20th century. Ah Ying is only 9 years old when she awakens in the hold of a ship bound for America. Sold by her family for a few Chinese yuan, she is beaten and burned as a child slave in San Francisco's Chinatown. Her defiant survival allows Ah Ying to take control of her life, as she finds romance, is rescued by missionaries and is given a new life at the Mission Home. Life is good until her rescuers become her captors and she is again forced to flee to be with her beloved Gee Sung. What ensues is a race between her love for Gee Sung, the Tong highbinders that want to enslave her, and the Presbyterian Missionaries that want to save her soul. "Three Coins" is based upon a true story that touches upon the themes of human trafficking, immigration, cultural and racial discrimination, violence, and romance that are as relevant today as they were 140 years ago.

ISBN: 1925575659
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
For readers of Monica McInerney, Jojo Moyes, Fiona McIntosh and Rachael Johns, comes a deliciously complex novel of families, food, adversity, hope and love. 'Three Gold Coins is a story of new love, second chances, and la dolce vita.' High Life Magazine One coin for love, one for marriage, one to return to Rome. Two days ago, Lara Foxleigh tossed three gold euros into the Trevi Fountain. Now, she is caring for a cranky old man and living in a picturesque villa, half a world away from her home and the concerns of her loving family. Soon, it seems as if those wishes she made in Rome just might be coming true, and she may even be able to help heal a fifteen-year-old tragedy. Until Lara's past threatens to destroy everything she loves . . . Three Gold Coins is a masterfully written celebration of food, family, triumph over adversity and love -- a deliciously imperfect life. 'Food, family, friendship and love: this is the heart of Three Gold Coins.' Theresa Smith Writes

RELATIVITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS
Author: PROF Ms. DWIVEDI MAM
Publisher: Ram Prasad Publications(R.P.H.)
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
1. Reference systems, inertial frames, Galilean invariance and conservation laws, propagation of light, Michelson-Morley experiment; search for ether. 2.

The statistical basis of thermodynamics : Probability and thermodynamic probability, principle of equal a prior probabilities, probability distribution and its narrowing with increase in number of particles. The expressions for average properties. Constraints; accessible and inaccessible states, distribution of particles with a given total energy into a discrete set of energy states. 4. Some universal laws : The ji-space representation, division of i-space into energy sheets and into phase cells of arbitrary size, applications to one dimensional harmonic oscillator and free particles. Equilibrium before two systems in thermal contact, bridge with macroscopic physics. Probability and entropy, Boltzmann entropy relation. Statistical interpretation of second law of thermodynamics. Boltzmann canonical distribution law and its applications; rigorous form of equipartition of energy. Maxwellian distribution of speeds in an ideal gas : Distribution of speeds and of velocities, experimental verification, distinction between mean, r.m.s. and most probable speed values. Doppler broadening of spectral lines. 5. Transition to quantum statistics : ‘h’ as a natural constant and its implications, cases of particle in a one-dimensional box and one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, Indistinguishability of particles and its consequences, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac distributions, photons in black body chamber, free electrons in a metal, Fermi level and Fermi energy.
