Free Download Dennis Amiss, "Not Out at Close of Play: A Life in Cricket"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1803990058, 075099245X | 288 pages | EPUB | 1.5 MB
You could argue that Dennis Amiss' 7 decade cricket career started the day he was born, when his parents named him after not one but two celebrated cricketers. Or maybe it started when he was 7, sneaking into the Birmingham Cooperative Society to play a few matches with his friends! Or perhaps it was on 7 April 1958; not only his 15th birthday, but also his first day as a professional cricketer. There's no denying that Amiss has had an extraordinary career. He is one of England's cricketing greats, with 100 first-class hundreds to his name and a place as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year. Hugely well-respected on and off the pitch, he didn't shy away from controversy, taking part in the 1982 'Rebel Tour' of Apartheid South Africa, and somehow ending up in the midst of the battle between World Series Cricket and the England Cricket Board. Not Out at Close of Play is the story of how passion, commitment and practice took a boy from the backstreets of Birmingham to worldwide cricket stardom.

Free Download Monologion and Proslogion with the Replies of Gaunilo and Anselm By Anselm of Canterbury; Gaunilo; Thomas Williams
1996 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0872202976 | PDF | 68 MB
The Proslogion (also spelled Proslogium; English translation of title: Discourse on the Existence of God), written in 1077-1078, was an attempt by the medieval cleric Anselm to prove beyond contention the existence of god.Anselm wrote this discourse, not from the perspective of an attempt to convince non-Christians of the truth of Christianity, but rather from the perspective of a believer seeking a rationale for faith. His original title for the discourse was Faith Seeking Understanding. The Proslogion is the source for Anselm's famous, highly controversial ontological argument for the existence of god--that is, the argument in favor of god's existence by definition. While opinions concerning the ontological argument vary widely, it is generally agreed that the argument is most convincing to Anselm's intended audience, Christian believers seeking a rational basis for their beliefs.The Argument--Dr. Scott H. Moore:"One can imagine a being than which none greater can be conceived.We know that existence in reality is greater than existence in the mind alone. If the being we imagine exists only in our mind, then it is not a "being than which none greater can be conceived". A being than which none greater can be conceived must also exist in reality. Failure to exist in reality would be failure to be a being than which none greater can be conceived. Thus a being than which none greater can be conceived must exist, & we call this being god."

Considering the depth and extensive reach of his work on Southeast Asia, this volume of his selected works will capture the encyclopaedic range of his expertise on the region.

English | 2008 | pages: 157 | ISBN: 9812308962 | PDF | 8,2 mb
For a whole generation of Malaysians, no proper closure to the traumas of the racial riots of May 13, 1969 has been possible. But then came March 8, 2008 The surprising results of the General Election on that special day have started eclipsing the fears linked for so long to that spectral night forty years ago. All the three researchers from ISEAS who each authored separate chapters for this book were in different parts of Malaysia monitoring its 12th General Election during the thirteen days of campaigning. Their analyses provide new insights into the phenomenon that Malaysians now simply refer to as "March 8". Ooi Kee Beng scrutinizes in detail the electoral campaign in the state of Penang, Johan Saravanamuttu studies the case of Kelantan state and the elections in general, while Lee Hock Guan examines changes in the voting pattern in the Klang Valley.
