Abstract: The Theaetetus is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge, written circa 369 BCE.In this dialogue, Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception, knowledge as true judgment, and, finally, knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory.Socrates declares Theaetetus will have benefited from discovering what he does not know, and that he may be better able to approach the topic in the future. The conversation ends with Socrates' announcement that he has to go to court to face a criminal indictment.Translated by Benjamin JowettPlato (428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.

Abstract: Parmenides is one of the dialogues of Plato. It is widely considered to be one of the more, if not the most, challenging and enigmatic of Plato's dialogues. The Parmenides purports to be an account of a meeting between the two great philosophers of the Eleatic school, Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, and a young Socrates. The occasion of the meeting was the reading by Zeno of his treatise defending Parmenidean monism against those partisans of plurality who asserted that Parmenides' supposition that there is a one gives rise to intolerable absurdities and contradictions.Translated by Benjamin JowettPlato (428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.

Abstract: Of all the beautiful women of history, none has left us such convincing proofs of her charms as Cleopatra, for the tide of Rome's destiny, and, therefore, that of the world, turned aside because of her beauty. Julius Caesar, whose legions trampled the conquered world from Canopus to the Thames, capitulated to her, and Mark Antony threw a fleet, an empire and his own honor to the winds to follow her to his destruction. Disarmed at last before the frigid Octavius, she found her peerless body measured by the cold eye of her captor only for the triumphal procession, and the friendly asp alone spared her Rome's crowning ignominy.Jacob Abbott (November 14, 1803 – October 31, 1879) was an American writer.

Abstract: The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It was her twelfth novel, and was initially serialized in 1920 in four parts, in the magazine Pictorial Review. Later that year, it was released as a book by D. Appleton & Company. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize.Though the committee had initially agreed to give the award to Sinclair Lewis for Main Street, the judges, in rejecting his book on political grounds, "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'".The story is set in the 1870s, in upper-class, "Gilded-Age" New York City. Wharton wrote the book in her 50s, after she had established herself as a strong author, with publishers clamoring for her work.Edith Wharton (January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, and designer.

Abstract: This book collects the slides prepared for the course of Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics (Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering) and those for the course of Multiscale Modelling and Simulation of Molecular and Mesoscopic Dynamics (PhD Program in Energetics), taught in English at Turin Polytechnic. Here, we provide a broad overview on the different topics taught in our classes. Even though not all topics are presented in the same class, students should be able to more easily reconstruct the connections among different phenomena (and scales), build their own mind map and, eventually, find their own way of deepening the subjects they are more interested in. Several engineering applications have been included. This helps in stressing that very different phenomena are described by transport theory and obey the same underlying fundamental laws of engineering thermodynamics. Detailed tutorials are reported, based on open-source codes for the laboratories (Gromacs, Palabos, OpenFoam and Cantera).

Abstract: Harley-Davidson are two words that evoke the search for freedom as well as the "Made in America" tradition.

It continues describing the main motorcycle model families and digs down to describe the most famous models Harley has ever produced. A final chapter is dedicated to the successful brand's phenomenal rise in the twentieth century and how Harley Davidson has become a symbol of freedom and rebellion. The book is fully illustrated with pictures of the bikes.

Abstract: El atribulado soldado Román, protagonista central de El paria mexicano, regresa a casa luego de una desastrosa misión en el bosque que le dejó secuelas permanentes. No sabe qué hacer con su vida, pues la patria que defendio lo ha olvidado. Luciano Campos Garza presenta una novela sobre la guerra contra el narco en la cual militares y criminales juegan de manera simultánea el papel de víctima y victimarios, de inocentes y culpables.En su propuesta narrativa, el autor altera los tiempos y presenta dos líneas de acción diferenciadas. en los capítulos nones aborda la historia de Román en campaña; en los pares describe su penoso entorno familiar, donde la vida que dejo al partir simplemente ya no existe. Cada episodio tiene saltos en el tiempo, para que el lector pueda armar la tragedia de una paria social, metáfora de lo que sucede en el país.El autor no juzga; sólo expone hechos para que el lector entienda a Román como soldado y como simple ciudadano.
