The illusion of three-dimensional drawings lie in the use of isometric perspective, in which the artist uses parallel lines and congruent angles to depict geometric objects. The eye tends to introduce incongruities in perspective, such as the way in that a straight road appears to narrow as it stretches away from the viewer. Isometric perspective, however, adheres to the true specifications of the object, portraying uniformity where the eye would suggest otherwise. The fantastic illusion of depth in these illustrations can be further enhanced with the use of color or shading to fool the eye and captivate the mind. These 31 amazing images can be colored to emphasize their solidity or shape; they can also be copied, expanded, or used as a source of graphic and design inspiration. They are a wonderful and fascinating way for young and old alike to study geometrical perspective or color creatively.

The book presents a critical examination of political authority, particularly challenging the divine right of kings as proposed by Robert Filmer. Locke's first treatise systematically refutes Filmer's claims, advocating for governance based on natural laws and popular consent. The second treatise outlines the principles of natural law that underpin human rights and just government. Additionally, it includes "A Letter Concerning Toleration," emphasizing the importance of religious freedom. Together, these works significantly influenced the development of modern representative governments.

Before her Wall Street dream is again within her grasp, Cynthia Jakubek will come to appreciate Robert F. Kennedy's memorable advice: ''Forgive your enemies--but remember their names.'' Eight colonists were killed at the original Battle of Lexington, but just before Thanksgiving, at the Pittsburgh Museum of American History, the life-sized diorama of that battle has nine bodies. The ninth is a murder victim, Thomas Bradshaw, a prominent Pittsburgh connoisseur, and Cynthia Jakubek will be drawn into one of the sideshows surrounding the investigation. Jakubek is a working-class gal who's about to jump from Main Street to Wall Street on the strength of her Harvard Law School degree -- and marry a budding novelist as well -- when the big recession in the fall of 2008 puts her dream on hold. She finds herself working, temporarily she hopes, as a legal intern at a Pittsburgh law firm that does ''street law'' instead of ''suite law.'' The firm is representing Thomas Bradshaw's daughter, who may be a material witness to the crime -- or worse. As Jakubek follows the investigation, the trail takes her from a black church in Pittsburgh's ghetto to the very luxury building in midtown Manhattan, where she dreams of working, and gives her a broken nose and a broken heart along the way.

Identité et différence Inséré par Locke dans son Essai philosophique concernant l’entendement humain , le « traité de l’identité » a laissé une trace remarquable du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Pour la première fois, il donne un nom aux grandes catégories de la métaphysique du sujet : the consciousness , the self , et les associe étroitement dans une problématique de la « conscience de soi ». Pour que celle-ci déploie ses possibilités et ses conflits latents, il faut cependant un moment spécifique de traduction : la proposition par le huguenot français Pierre Coste de leurs équivalents – « la con-science » et « le soi » –, fournissant à toute la philosophie continentale les moyens de sortir des apories du cartésianisme. Cet événement dont nous sommes encore tributaires, l’invention européenne de la conscience , se trouve ici étudié à travers la réédition des textes de Locke et de Coste, augmentée d’une nouvelle traduction et complétée par un commentaire et un dossier.
