![]() ![]() This spellbinding chronicle offers an authoritative new history of a great, and greatly troubled, nation. Finding meaning in contradiction, Lepore weaves American history into a tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of technological progress and moral anguish. Telling the story of America, beginning in 1492, These Truths asks whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them. And it rests, too, "on a dedication to inquiry, fearless and unflinching", writes Jill Lepore in a ground-breaking investigation into the American past that places truth at the centre of the nation's history. Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation, an urgently needed reckoning with the beauty and tragedy of American. ![]() ![]() The American experiment rests on three ideas-"these truths", Jefferson called them-political equality, natural rights and the sovereignty of the people. In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation.

Slammed was my first novel, but at the time, I wasn’t considering it a novel. Her newest mega best seller, It Starts With Us, picks up where 2016’s It Ends With Us (an adaptation of which is in the works from Jane the Virgin star Justin Baldoni) left off on the heels of that release, we had Hoover annotate her catalogue, offering perspective and memories on a collection of books that a growing number of fans is consuming so ravenously. Her first novel, Slammed, was self-published in 2012, but it wasn’t until 2021 that her books really started popping off worldwide, and since then her fan base, which has dubbed itself the CoHorts, has grown in both number and level of devotion. While there are “overnight success” elements to Hoover’s career arc, her popularity has been years in the making. She is the best-selling author in America now and likely for the foreseeable future. Even if you’ve never read a Colleen Hoover book, chances are you’ve seen one - if not on a bookstore or library shelf, then perhaps on the New York Times Best-Seller List (more than half of the top-ten titles in paperback fiction bear her name) or on TikTok (where her readers regularly work themselves into an emotional frenzy). ![]() ![]() ![]() See the city of love in a new light with hand-drawn illustrations showing the interiors of its most iconic sights, from the Notre-Dame to the Panthéon, and a calendar of exciting events happening throughout the year. ![]() What to read: Check out the latest updates to DK's collection here– the new 2020 editions offer fresh insights into popular cities across the world, including Paris and New York City.

Reducing the cross sectional area reduces the mass of blade and hence reduces the centrifugal stresses. The other five are for reducing cross sectional area blades of varying curvature. One for constant cross sectional area blade as a reference. Six types of blades were studied in this paper. One way to tackle this is by using twisted blades and/or using variable cross-section area blades. The centrifugal force is one of the problems that face the designers of blades especially the long ones. Such blades suffer from different types of loadings leading to different types of stresses, like tensile and bending stresses due to centrifugal force and steam flow loading. 3, December (2007) ISSN 1813-7822 76 Design of a Constant Stress Steam Turbine Rotor Blade Abstract This paper presents a design procedure for a constant stress low pressure steam turbine blade.
