Alfa Jeden

Adrianna Biełowiec

Dzięki akceleracji rozwoju technologii kosmicznych, ludność Błękitnej Planety skolonizowała kilka światów typu ziemskiego Drogi Mlecznej. Pozwoliło to także prowadzić badania na przeogromną skalę. Nie zawsze legalne. Stworzony laboratoryjnie Enril, zwany przez naukowców z placówki Inion Vertex obiektem Alfa Jeden, zamieszkuje Asfarię, technogotycki kompleks mieszczący się na asteroidzie przekształconej przez korporację Starlight. Żyjący w poniżeniu, nieświadomy innej rzeczywistości niż wykreowana przez tajemniczego „Boga”, mężczyzna nie wie, że jego genom stanowi podwaliny pod stworzenie żołnierzy przystosowanych do ekstremalnych warunków kosmicznych. Sens istnienia Enrila ogranicza się do zabijania przysyłanych promami ludzi, których uważa za wrogów bożych. Alfa Jeden poznaje prawdę na swój temat, gdy do Asfarii trafia córka dyplomaty, Sandra Razok. Enril postanawia podjąć odpowiednie kroki przeciwko Starlightowi. W swoich działaniach nie jest jednak sam, może liczyć bowiem na zdrajców z Inion Vertex oraz eskadrę myśliwców o SI dorównującej ludzkiej inteligencji.

Wprowadzenie do teologii katolickiej

Jan Słomka

Wprowadzenie do teologii katolickiej; zgodnie z tytułem; przeznaczone jest przede wszystkim dla tych; którzy rozpoczynają studiowanie teologii. Stanowi ono pierwsze; ogólne spojrzenie na przedmiot podejmowanych studiów. Również już zaawansowani w studiowaniu teologii mogą; mamy nadzieję; z zaciekawianiem przeczytać niniejszą książkę; aby skonfrontować swoje wyobrażenia o teologii z tu przedstawionymi. Być może okaże się ono interesujące także dla zainteresowanych teologią; ale niezamierzających jej studiować; a nawet dla tych; którzy (już) nie uważają się za chrześcijan. Chrześcijaństwo stanowi ważną część życia; także społecznego. W Europie chrześcijaństwo; a w Polsce przede wszystkim katolicyzm; współtworzą naszą tożsamość. Wiadomości o życiu Kościoła; rozstrzygnięciach doktrynalnych; decyzjach papieża czy biskupów raz po raz pojawiają się pośród informacji medialnych. Wprowadzenie do teologii katolickiej może pomóc lepiej te wiadomości rozumieć. Taka różnorodność adresatów musi spowodować; że dla żadnego z nich tekst w całości nie będzie interesujący czy zrozumiały. Trudno; ale jeśli jednak jakiś fragment tego opracowania pomoże Czytelnikowi lepiej zrozumieć; czym jest teologia – spełni swoje zadanie. /fragment wstępu/

But he also finds laughter and kindness, trust and friendship . . . and love.

Kotlin Standard Library Cookbook. Master the powerful Kotlin standard library through practical code examples

Samuel Urbanowicz

For developers who prefer a more simplistic approach to coding, Kotlin has emerged as a valuable solution for effective software development. The Kotlin standard library provides vital tools that make day-to-day Kotlin programming easier. This library features core attributes of the language, such as algorithmic problems, design patterns, data processing, and working with files and data streams.With a recipe-based approach, this book features coding solutions that you can readily execute. Through the book, you’ll encounter a variety of interesting topics related to data processing, I/O operations, and collections transformation. You’ll get started by exploring the most effective design patterns in Kotlin and understand how coroutines add new features to JavaScript. As you progress, you'll learn how to implement clean, reusable functions and scalable interfaces containing default implementations. Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll discover recipes on functional programming concepts, such as lambdas, monads, functors, and Kotlin scoping functions, which will help you tackle a range of real-life coding problems. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the expertise you need to address a range of challenges that Kotlin developers face by implementing easy-to-follow solutions.

Unity 2018 Shaders and Effects Cookbook. Transform your game into a visually stunning masterpiece with over 70 recipes - Third Edition

John P. Doran, Alan Zucconi

Since their introduction to Unity, shaders have been seen as notoriously difficult to understand and implement in games. Complex mathematics has always stood in the way of creating your own shaders and attaining the level of realism you crave.Unity 2018 Shaders and Effects Cookbook changes that by giving you a recipe-based guide to creating shaders using Unity. It will show you everything you need to know about vectors, how lighting is constructed with them, and how textures are used to create complex effects without the heavy math.This book starts by teaching you how to use shaders without writing code with the post-processing stack. Then, you’ll learn how to write shaders from scratch, build up essential lighting, and finish by creating stunning screen effects just like those in high-quality 3D and mobile games. You'll discover techniques, such as normal mapping, image-based lighting, and animating your models inside a shader. We'll explore how to use physically based rendering to treat light the way it behaves in the real world. At the end, we’ll even look at Unity 2018’s new Shader Graph system.With this book, what seems like a dark art today will be second nature by tomorrow.
