If any book could be called legendary, surely it is this one. Its author, Italian diplomat and philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) considered it his greatest work. Indeed, his thoughts on politics, as laid out so famously in this brief but profound work, have become so synonymous with him that his name has become an adjective: Machiavellian. How is political power achieved? How is it maintained? Though Machiavelli states explicitly that he is not discussing "Republics" here, only "Princedoms", this coldly rational guidebook to taking control and holding onto it contains such universal insights into human nature and the structure of human systems that his "advice" serves equally well in almost any power structure. With applications in such diverse realms as business, the military, even role-playing games, Machiavelli's rules for ruling continue to be required reading for students of politics, philosophy, and ethics.

It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.?—Leonardo da Vinci??In this Beginner's Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow. Curiously enough, it was a paragraph in James Mill, most unpsychological of psychologists, that set me on the introspective track,—though many years had to pass before I properly understood what had put him off it. ??A book like this would have saved me a great deal of labour and vexation of spirit. Nowadays, of course, there are many introductions to psychology, and the beginner has a whole library of text-books to choose from. Still, they are of varying merit; and, what is perhaps more important, their temperamental appeal is diverse.?I do not find it easy to relate this new book to the older Primer,—which will not be further revised. There is change all through; every paragraph has been rewritten. ??The greatest change is, however, a shift of attitude; I now lay less stress than I did upon knowledge and more upon point of view. The beginner in any science is oppressed and sometimes disheartened by the amount he has to learn; so many men have written, and so many are writing; the books say such different things, and the magazine articles are so upsetting!

Fecha en Valladolid, a veinte y seis días del mes de setiembre de mil y seiscientos y cuatro anos... ? Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra:(Alcala de Henares, 1547-Madrid, 1616) fue un soldado, novelista, poeta y dramaturgo espanol. Esta considerado la maxima figura de la literatura espanola y es universalmente conocido por haber escrito Don Quijote de la Mancha, que muchos críticos han descrito como la primera novelamoderna y una de las mejores obras de la literatura universal, ademas de ser el libro mas editado y traducido de la historia, solo superado por la Biblia. Se le ha dado el sobrenombre de ?Principe de los Ingenios?. Desde el siglo XVIII esta admitido que el lugar de nacimiento de Miguel de Cervantes fue Alcala de Henares, dado que allí fue bautizado, segun su acta bautismal, y que de alli aclaro ser natural en la llamada Informacion de Argel (1580). El dia exacto de su nacimiento es menos seguro, aunque lo normal es que naciera el 29 de septiembre, fecha en que se celebra la fiesta del arcangel San Miguel, dada la tradicion de recibir el nombre del santoral del dia del nacimiento. Miguel de Cervantes fue bautizado el 9 de octubre de 1547 en la parroquia de Santa Maria la Mayor. El acta del bautizo reza: Domingo, nueve dias del mes de octubre, ano del Senor de mill e quinientos e quarenta e siete anos, fue baptizado Miguel, hijo de Rodrigo Cervantes e su mujer dona Leonor. Baptizole el reverendo senor Bartolome Serrano, cura de Nuestra Senora. Testigos, Baltasar Vazquez, Sacristan, e yo, que le baptice e firme de mi nombre. Bachiller Serrano. Sus abuelos paternos fueron el licenciado en leyes Juan de Cervantes y dona Leonor de Torreblanca, hija de Juan Luis de Torreblanca, un medico cordobes; su padre se llamaba Rodrigo de Cervantes (1509-1585) y nacio en Alcala de Henares por casualidad: su

Fluturele este o insect din ordinul Lepidoptera, termen ce provine din termenii grecesti lepis (coaj) si pteron (arip). Mai mult coaj dect miez. Acest ordin are aproximativ 165.000 de specii cunoscute care, n ciuda unei mari varieti de forme si culori, au o structur similar, mai toi fiind nscrii n uniunile scriitoriceti de pretutindeni. Printre azteci, fluturii sunt un simbol al sufletului sau ultima suflare a unui muribund. Un fluture care zboar printre flori reprezint sufletul unui rzboinic czut pe un cmp de lupt. ntr-adevr, rzboinicii se ntorc pe pmnt sub form de colibri sau fluturi care, de data aceasta, se apuc imediat de scris i nu mai suport vederea armelor. Eventual sapa o mai tolereaz, pentru a-i spa pe cei care nu le laud culorile, stilul i fandoselile. Curcanul, ns, este o pasre de talie mare, originar din America, domesticit cu premii literare nc din timpul aztecilor. n timpul mperecherii n vederea formrii gtilor literare, culoarea pielii capului i gtului devine albastru i rou aprins, masculul desfurnd coada n form de evantai. Femelele desfoar doar sunete guturale: glu-glu-glu! i recit cu gravitate ce le vine la ndemn, pe sub aripi. Specie hipersensibil, curcanii pot s sufere atacuri de cord sau de panic. n timpul unor teste ale avioanelor U.S. Air Force s-a constatat decesul a mai multor curcani din zon din cauza atacurilor cardiace. Remediul este aplicarea de laude i aplauze n zonele tumefiate. Fluturele-curcan este o specie ncruciat ce, paradoxal, nu tolereaz fluturii i curcanii pur-snge. Exist zvonuri c unele exemplare modificate genetic pot rezista fr s scrie chiar i 6 luni. Timp n care clocesc citind pe rupte. (tiri despre fluturi, curcani i hibrizi/stirileprotv.ro)“

Basic understanding of Linux operating system and shell scripting will help you to get the most out of the book. What You Will Learn ? Create and use different expressions and control flow statements in AWK ? Use Regular Expressions with AWK for effective text-processing ? Use built-in and user-defined variables to write AWK programs ? Use redirections in AWK programs and create structured reports ? Handle non-decimal input, 2-way inter-process communication with Gawk ? Create small scripts to reformat data to match patterns and process texts In Detail AWK is one of the most primitive and powerful utilities which exists in all Unix and Unix-like distributions. It is used as a command-line utility when performing a basic text-processing operation, and as programming language when dealing with complex text-processing and mining tasks. With this book, you will have the required expertise to practice advanced AWK programming in real-life examples. The book starts off with an introduction to AWK essentials. You will then be introduced to regular expressions, AWK variables and constants, arrays and AWK functions and more. The book then delves deeper into more complex tasks, such as printing formatted output in AWK, control flow statements, GNU's implementation of AWK covering the advanced features of GNU AWK, such as network communication, debugging, and inter-process communication in the GAWK programming language which is not easily possible with AWK. By the end of this book, the reader will have worked on the practical implementation of text processing and pattern matching using AWK to perform routine tasks. Style and approach An easy-to-follow, step by step guide which will help you get to grips with real-world applications of AWK programming.

Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!
