    af Jason Wood
    208,95 kr.

    If a measure of our humanity is how we treat the most vulnerable, our report card is bleak. Our politics is divided, people in need are too often treated with cruelty, and the systems we built to support others are creaking. Welfare too often fails, sometimes with tragic consequences. Yet, the help we give to others can be more effective, more accepted, and more just if we cultivate greater levels of compassion to put it at the heart of public life and potentially resolve these challenges. In this book, Jason Wood reviews the research and talks to experts from across the world to make the moving case for greater compassion in public life.

    La sala en la corte se mantuvo en silencio después de las palabras de María. Hasta el juez se mostró afectado después del discurso. Richard se sentó sin cambiar la expresión de su cara. Tuve que respirar profundamente y enfocarme en el perdón. No tenía opción, miré hacia arriba y le pedí a Dios que me acompañara y me diera fuerzas. Miré a mi hija y esposa paradas a mi lado y recordé que tenía un corazón. Volví a respirar profundo y me giré hacia Richard. Richard, tú has herido mi familia profundamente. Mi corazón palpita fuertemente con tan sólo mirarte. Tú no sientes remordimiento alguno. Le quitaste la vida a alguien que era tu amigo. ¿Sabes lo que significa la amistad? ¿Cómo pudiste? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué Richard? Mi pequeño hijo también era mi amigo. Alguien a quien yo crié y quise y tú le quitaste la vida. ¿Por qué Richard? ¿Por qué? Tú lo lastimaste tanto que duele pensarlo. Sólo te quiero dejar saber que heriste a mi hija, a mi familia y a tu madre y padre. ¿Qué llega a tu mente cuando alguien te implora que no le quites la vida, Richard? Acabar con la vida de alguien duele, Richard. Este es el día en que vinimos a decirle adiós a Jaime y a ti también, porque tú también te irás. Esta es probablemente la última vez que te estaremos mirando...te irás para bien. Y no estoy feliz de decírtelo, esto nunca debió suceder, nunca, Richard. Cuando mi esposa dice...que todo deseamos que te arrepientas, te lo deseamos de corazón. Ojala y lo hagas para que Dios te pueda perdonar. La biblia dice en el sexto mandamiento, no matarás. Estoy seguro que lo has leído, pero lo hiciste de igual manera; heriste a muchas personas, Richard. Heriste a muchas personas...me causaste mucho dolor y espero que encuentres paz. Está de tu parte ahora, porque nosotros te hemos perdonado. Te hemos perdonado para sanar nuestras heridas y poder seguir adelante. Que Dios te bendiga. Muchas gracias.

    A fluid refers to a type of liquid, gas or other substance that constantly flows due to an external force or shear stress. Fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics that studies the flow of fluids such as liquids and gases. There are two main subdisciplines of fluid dynamics, namely, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. Fluid dynamics can be used to study phenomena such as ocean currents, plate tectonics, evolution of stars, weather patterns and blood circulation. Wind turbines, air conditioning systems, rocket engines and oil pipelines are some of the significant technological applications of fluid dynamics. A fluid dynamics problem is normally solved by calculating different properties of the fluids such as flow density, velocity, temperature and pressure as functions of space and time. This book outlines the processes and applications of fluid dynamics in detail. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
