Math Tricks, Brain Twisters, and Puzzles

Math Tricks, Brain Twisters, and Puzzles 

by Joseph Degrazia
B.ll Pub | 1981 | ISBN: 0517336499 

 159 pages | PDF | 6,2 MB

This book is the result of twenty years of puzzle collecting. For these many years I have endeavored to gather everything belonging to the realm of mathematical entertainment from all available sources. As an editor of newspaper columns on scientific entertainment, I found my readers keenly interested in this kind of pastime, and these readers proved to be among my best sources for all sorts of problems, both elementary and intricate.

Puzzles seem to have beguiled men in every civilization, and the staples of scientific entertainment are certain historic problems which have perplexed and diverted men for centuries.
Besides a number of these, this book contains many problems never before published. Indeed, the majority of the problems have been devised by me or have been developed out of suggestions from readers or friends.
This book represents only a relatively small selection from an inexhaustible reservoir of material. Its purpose is to satisfy not only mathematically educated and gifted readers but also those who are on less good terms with mathematics but consider cudgeling their brains a useful pastime.

Many puzzles are therefore included, especially in the first chapters, which do not require even a pencil for their solution, let alone algebraic
formulas. The majority of the problems chosen, however, will appeal to the puzzle lover who has not yet forgotten the elements of arithmetic he learned in high school. And finally, those who really enjoy the beauties of mathematics will find plenty of problems to rack their brains and test their knowledge and ingenuity in such chapters as, for example, “Whimsical Numbers” and “Playing with Squares”
The puzzles in this book are classified into groups so that the reader with pronounced tastes may easily find his meat.
Those familiar with mathematical entertainment may miss certain all-too-well-known types, such as the famous magic squares. I believe, however, that branches of mathematical entertainment which have long since developed into special sciences belong only in books that set out to treat them exhaustively. Here we must pass them by, if only for reasons of space. Nor have geometrical problems been included.
Lack of space has also made it impossible to present every solution fully. In a great many instances, every step of reasoning, mathematical and other, is shown; in others, only the major steps are indicated; in others still, just the results are given. But in every single class of problems, enough detailed solutions are developed and enough hints and clues offered to show the reader his way when he comes to grips with those problems for which only answers are given without proof. I hope that with the publication of this book I have attained
two objectives: to provide friends of mathematics with many hours of entertainment, and to help some of the myriads who since their school days have been dismayed by everything mathematical to overcome their horror of figures.

The Lost Art of Being Happy

The Lost Art of Being Happy 
Spirituality for Sceptics
Tony Wilkinson
Findhorn Press | 2007-12-01 | ISBN: 1844091163
302 pages | PDF | 5,9 MB

Arguing that spirituality is not about religion but about living happily, this guidebook offers advice on the skills of the inner life - the mind and emotions - that are needed for a life of gladness. This examination discusses the requirements for happiness, explores their nature and shows that mastering a set of five of them leads to bliss. The exercises in this resource are offered to spiritual seekers as a path towards happiness and emphasise that personal elation is not caused by external events, but by mastering the skills of the inner life. 

This book shows how spirituality should be a vital human concern regardless of beliefs about the supernatural. Starting from the simple idea that everyone wants to live happily, it offers a powerful theory that supports many spiritual and self-development practices. In the five skills, it offers a pragmatic and flexible way to live spiritually allowing each person to develop a practice that suits their own needs. The book focuses on the idea of generating skills of the inner life rather than virtues or merit. This is a profound shift of paradigm, which removes moral anxiety and grounds both spirituality and ethical living in a fundamental choice to live happily.

His integrative program of both alternative and traditional treatments can dramatically improve health and vitality, safely and soundly. This book will have a prominent place in my library and I highly recommend it! "
-Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of the bestselling The Fat Flush Plan

In this book Dr. Fred Pescatore deals with the roots of these modern epidemics, drawing on his clinical experience, and he provides clear recommendations for turning back the tide and restoring health."
- Jack Challem, author of the bestselling Syndrome X and The Inflammation Syndrome

Reasoning and Thinking

Reasoning and Thinking
(Cognitive Psychology)-K.I. Manktelow
Ps.chology Press | 1999 | ISBN: 0863777090
256 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

This undergraduate textbook reviews psychological research in the major areas of reasoning and thinking: deduction, induction, hypothesis testing, probability judgement, and decision making. It also covers the major theoretical debates in each area, and devotes a chapter to one of the liveliest issues in the field: the question of human rationality. 

Central themes that recur throughout the book include not only rationality, but also the relation between normative theories such as logic, probability theory, and decision theory, and human performance, both in experiments and in the world outside the laboratory. No prior acquaintance with formal systems is assumed, and everyday examples are used throughout to illustrate technical and theoretical points.

The book differs from others in the market firstly in the range of material covered: other tend to focus primarily on on either reasoning or thinking. It is also the first student-level text to survey an imporatant new theoretical perspective, the information-gain or rational analysis approach, and to review the rationality debate from the standpoint of psuchological research in a wide range of areas.

The Secret in the Bible

The Secret in the Bible
(3rd Reprint) -Tony Bushby -
Joshua Books | 2011 | | English
347 pages | PDF | 31.7 MB

This is Tony Bushby's explosive book The Secret in the Bible - The Great Pyramid, Its Missing Capstone and the Supernatural Origin of Scripture (3rd Edition)(2011) which exposes the lost history of the Giza plateau and how temple priests of the Great pyramid preserved the evidence of life beyond death. Thousands of years ago, ancient Egyptian priests recorded that 'gods of the first time' revealed to them exquisite information on the nature of the afterlife and the keys of mastering death.

That cherished insight was guarded with utmost secrecy through the millennia and revealed only to selected members of certain Mystery Schools. In later times, high initiates hid the essence of the sacred secret into the Bible and developed a series of ciphers that enabled the hidden wisdom to be unlocked by the privileged few, many of who are among the most prominent people in history. Now, for the first time in contemporary history, comes a book, which fully reveals that exalted knowledge, providing a new and fascinating insight into the extraordinary 'Secret of the Dead'.

In explaining why the Holy Bible was always considered a divine book, The Secret in the Bible, reveals new knowledge about the ancient secrets of Egypt and the Bible and the significance of these secrets cannot be taken lightly. The author backs up this knowledge with an extensive bibliography. Also find out how biblical Psalms precisely contain all Egyptian Tarot cards in encrypted form and how the card pictures cleverly hide all 22 letters of an ancient alphabet embedded in them. A must read for everyone.
