Shalom and Dean find themselves in the confusing world of the other person and now must figure out how to rescue their loved ones from certain destruction.
Rebecca is a 54-year-old divorcee with two daughters, a wicked sense of humour and a zest for life.""One night she is brutally attacked and ends up in a coma, her life hanging by a thread. Rebecca's daughters rally by her bedside, but are disheartened by her condition. But Rebecca is having another experience altogether. She awakens in a magical place called Jess. A place where eternal youth is as natural as the perfect way of life. Then her problems begin. Rebecca finds herself in the middle of the countryside wearing nothing but her hospital gown. Her usual good mood is replaced by extreme embarrassment when she has to board a bus driven by a surly man who said he would take her home. She can't remember how she got there, let alone where she lives. This thought-provoking novel will make you question whether Jess is just a dream town or if Rebecca is Crossing Dimensions.
The purpose of the project is to provide the most up-to-date survey on issues dealing with practical geometry and how it might have been applied in the design of medieval architecture. Chronologically, the topics cover a wide span - from early Medieval through Late Gothic. Geographically, the monuments under discussion range from Early Medieval Florence through Carolingian Germany, Crusader Cyprus, Romanesque France and Gothic England. The applications of both geometry and metrology are considered in this volume, often with illustrations generated by computer-assisted design (CAD) software. The project therefore offers recent scholarship in the field, as well as cutting-edge technology which helps propel the pursuit of such studies. To this end, the project is the first of its kind both in terms of its focus and its comprehensiveness. Such a project is sorely needed to introduce this highly specialized discipline to other historians of art, history, and science of the Middle Ages, as well as historians in most humanistic areas.
The second edition of Engineering Drawing continues to cover all the fundamental topics of the field. This edition includes a new chapter on scales, the latest version of AutoCAD, and new pedagogy. Combining technical accuracy with readable explana
Let G be a reductive group over the field F=k((t)), where k is an algebraic closure of a finite field, and let W be the (extended) affine Weyl group of G. The associated affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties Xx(b), which are indexed by elements b∈G(F) and x∈W, were introduced by Rapoport. Basic questions about the varieties Xx(b) which have remained largely open include when they are nonempty, and if nonempty, their dimension. The authors use techniques inspired by geometric group theory and combinatorial representation theory to address these questions in the case that b is a pure translation, and so prove much of a sharpened version of a conjecture of Görtz, Haines, Kottwitz, and Reuman. The authors' approach is constructive and type-free, sheds new light on the reasons for existing results in the case that b is basic, and reveals new patterns. Since they work only in the standard apartment of the building for G(F), their results also hold in the p-adic context, where they formulate a definition of the dimension of a p-adic Deligne–Lusztig set. The authors present two immediate applications of their main results, to class polynomials of affine Hecke algebras and to affine reflection length.
