An compilation of three books of poetry based of poetic books of the bible-Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it''s context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it''s context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Ecclesiastes resonates with the world we live in today and asks many of the same questions we ask when we look at the world in its messiness and confusion. In many ways the writer, Koheleth, is just like us, wrestling with life and striving to find the meaning in it. For this reason Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favourite books of the bible and I know that others feel the same. Over the years I have returned to it again and again and constantly found it comforting, reassuring, challenging and relevant.These poetic interpretations of Ecclesiastes are my way of engaging with the text, that I might know more of God and of the world God created.

A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward. Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off? Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

"A computer software package (AIRPROPS Version 5.0) for calculating the thermophysical properties of air is presented. Computer programs in this package are given in standard FORTRAN 77. The programs given here supersede all previous versions of AIRPROPS and provide for calculation of both equilibrium and transport properties of air for system design and analysis. Properties of mixtures of nitrogen, argon and oxygen for various compositions are also provided by programs included in this package. This report documents Version 5.0 of the software package. It provides information necessary to incorporate individual subprograms from the package into application programs. although the software package was originally developed on DOS-based microcomputers and the interactive utility program AIRPROPS is tailored to such an environment, the property calculation subprograms are written to facilitate portability between microcomputers and mainframes."--Page ii.
