Ducati Bevel Twins 1971 to 1986 : Authenticity & restoration guide (1845843185)

Ducati's classic 750, 860 900 and Mille bevel-drive twins from 1971-1986 are now amongst the most collectable bikes in the world. Although built in relatively small numbers, there are many individual model differences that can make their authentic restoration difficult. This book serves as a definitive guide to authenticity and gives hands-on restoration tips and guidance. This range of motorcycles lasted 15 years and now a restored bike with original parts will be worth about double the value of one with the wrong parts/detailing. There have been so many little variations over the years that most people have no idea what is correct for a particular model. A would-be buyer's first question is always "how authentic is the bike?", not if it is beautifully restored or not. So this book is a comprehensive guide to authenticity. The content includes colour codes, stripe widths, decal placement, etc. The practical chapters are by necessity broad. For instance, there were f...

Byron (Classic Reprint) (0265520312)

Excerpt from Byron There are legends of old Norse Burnns migrating from their home in Scandinavia, and settling, one branch in Normandy, another in Livonia.

The Rationality of Psychological Disorders : Psychobizarreness Theory (9781461369462)

`Rofe's book is a unique scientific contribution to the understanding of psychopathological phenomena. He does more to unravel the mystery of the underlying causes of psychological disorders than we've seen in a long time. His book The Rationality of Psychological Disorders is a `true endeavor that presents a definite challenge to the scientific community of Psychology'. This book is a must-read for scientists, mental health professionals and others who search for the logic and rationale in the irrational and bizarre.' Elizabeth F. Loftus, University of Washington, Past President, American Psychological Society. `The notion of repression is crucial to many psychological theories, but serious questions have been raised about it. Indeed, some investigators have questioned whether repression even exists. In this book, Professor Rofe offers provocative ideas concerning repression and its role in psychopathology in general. His ideas merit attention and I can highly reco...

Nicaea and its Legacy : An Approach to Fourth-Century Trinitarian Theology (9780198755050)

The first part of Nicaea and its Legacy offers a narrative of the fourth-century trinitarian controversy. It does not assume that the controversy begins with Arius, but with tensions among existing theological strategies. Lewis Ayres argues that, just as we cannot speak of one `Arian' theology, so we cannot speak of one `Nicene' theology either, in 325 or in 381. The second part of the book offers an account of the theological practices and assumptions within which pro-Nicene theologians assumed their short formulae and creeds were to be understood. Ayres also argues that there is no fundamental division between eastern and western trinitarian theologies at the end of the fourth century. The last section of the book challenges modern post-Hegelian trinitarian theology to engage with Nicaea more deeply. Product details Format ...

Choosing a partner is one of the most consequential and tricky decisions we will ever make. The cost of repeated failure is immense. And yet we are often so alone with the search.

Der Beweis für den außerirdischen Ursprung der Menschheit - wurde er in einem sumerischen Königsgrab entdeckt? Wer waren die "Riesen", die "Helden der Vorzeit", von denen das Buch Genesis der Bibel berichtet? Waren ihre Eltern wirklich "Göttersöhne", die vom Himmel zur Erde kamen? Sind sie identisch mit den "Halbgöttern" der antiken Kulturen, von Gilgamesch bis Alexander dem Großen? Zum Abschluss seiner lebenslangen Suche präsentiert der Orientalist und Bestsellerautor Zecharia Sitchin den finalen Beweis für seine These von einem außerirdischen Ursprung der Menschheit: In einem sumerischen Königsgrab wurde der Leichnam einer Anunnaki-Göttin entdeckt.

Januar 1928: In der südirakischen Wüste, in den Ruinen der uralten biblischen Stadt Ur, machte der britische Archäologe Leonard Woolley eine ebenso schaurige wie faszinierende Ent...

The text concludes with stochastic calculus and the simulation of diffusion processes. Only requiring some familiarity with probability and statistics, the book keeps much of the mathematics at an informal level and avoids technical measure-theoretic jargon to provide a practical understanding of the basics. It includes a l...
