"SELF- HELP" is another insightful reading from Vladimir Zivkovic, the author of books "Modern Relationships" and "The Book about Divine-Self". How to improve your low self-esteem? Where all these modern life problems stem from? How to overcome them and stay on the right path in this crazy world? Further on, it reflects on the issues of the modern man with Self, God, morality, and authorities. The author offers real-life examples to help readers answer these currently burning questions and regain their lost spirituality and confidence. The author mainly talks about our attitude to everyday life and shortcomings of the modern life philosophies which have separated man from its true nature and purpose. The main goal of being happy has turned into great confusion of various teachings and into pure hedonism and an egotistic striving for some kind of success and fame or just to simply pleasure and indulge oneself and one's appetites for worldly pleasures. In this book, is presented a positive spiritual discipline that is free from ego and that will aid a reader to keep one's mind open for the important questions in life. Eventually, it turns out that we look for happiness in the wrong places all the time - the main goal of being happy is not focused on ego, but on making others happy most of the times. Our transient time and memory are another reason to make us question our ways in the world and what we really want to focus on in our lives. Keep in mind that everything that is worthy will not come easily. The change starts with you and it takes lots of work. We should just stop rushing towards materialism and continue moving on at a steady pace towards our true nature and purpose.

Who am I and what is the world? Where do I come from? Where do I go? Does God exist? If it exists, where it can be found? What is he like? How does he look? Is God perfect, and does he love me unconditionally? Is it true that I can't have a partner, live sexuality, have money eat and sleep well if I want to achieve happiness and God? If I love to live and to indulge my desires, does that mean that I'm sinful and that God doesn't like me? Does it have the sense to condemn people, you, God? Does it have the sense to love oneself, people, God? What's my path and what's my purpose? If I'm unhappy, how can I cure that? If I'm discontented, how much good is that? How much are self-respect, self-worth, and dignity important? What is the real knowledge, and how to recognize it?There are much more questions like this.This book deals with them. This book is not offering just mere answers to questions asked previously. It also offers guidance to the reader, who on its own, by perusing this book can consciously experience the truth presented in this book.The book 'Return to God' is composed of 3 parts, which together form a whole. Each part deals with the certain secret of life. The first part, called 'Men and Women', gives us an insight into similarities and differences between the sexes. The modern men and women have their desires and their misconceptions. The first part of the book aims at helping the reader to separate the positive desires, to destroy hidden self-destruction and a bad course, to avoid mistakes, and to fulfill wishes and achieve happiness. This book helps a man gain fundamental and minimal dignity that is essential for happiness in love relationships and marriage. Therefore, it is essential to understand laws of the first part of trilogy 'Return to God', called 'Man and Women' as the prerequisite for marriage, love, and sexual relationships' happiness. Pay close attention to things you consider impossible.Biljana Obradovic, poetess and the writer of several novels from Valjevo will tell us more about the book: - Vladimir Zivkovic is a man dedicated to the lifelong study of the soul. His writing reveals calmness, consistency in his path to God, as the only light that sustains the inner being. I really like his voice which pays special respect to everyone, especially to girls and women. By reading his works related to the faith in God, and therefore in you, I realized that the path of knowledge is difficult but fruitful. I realized that badly directed ego might destroy even the greatest minds, as well as biggest believers. Vladimir talks about the modesty life and balanced desires. Thus he shares his knowledge with others, to make them deeply think about the life they live nowadays, in the modern times. I hope he will publish more books to shed light on the path of the just and truly believing men. With due respect of this writing, I wish you success and a large number of readers Maja Djolovic, translator and writer say about the book: - If you've just been searching for self-help reading and an easy and quick fix for your problems, there is no such advice in this book. Vladimir's trilogy 'Return to God' is an authentic collection of real life stories and situations which were created by the author as the result of his personal spiritual journaling. His stories offer great insights into the modern life of man and women, their inner struggle, and problems they face in their search for meaning and true spirituality. The external influences of the corrupted individuals and society, as well as main reasons and internal sources of corruption, could be found in our closest surroundings. These stories, in a nutshell, deal with the current lack of morality, truth, and spiritual guidance in everyday life, as well in male-female relationships. Vladimir sheds the light on possible underlying problems and their true origin in human misconceptions, blurred moral vision, and false beliefs.

Men and women evolve. Their love relationships evolve, too. In every new era, there are different behavioral norms. In the modern age there is no more interesting subject for people than love and sexual relationships, and achieving happiness in them.The main subject of this book is bad behavioral patterns of modern people in love relationships, as well as unavoidable attaining of self-satisfaction and satisfaction with one's life. This book consists of three parts. The first part deals with generalities on men, women and their dispositions. Because of the inevitable question that arises related to any human being when it comes to luck, love, and meaning of life, spirituality and God had to be a mandatory subject of this book. Thus, the first part is named "Return to God: Men and Women" and it consists of texts which unite search for the meaning and spirituality of the modern man with its own wishes, wants, and fallacies of the modern men and women.The second part of the book is, even more, intriguing for the mind of the modern man because it deals with sexuality, games of seduction and sexual relationships of both sexes. It is called "Sexuality and Seduction" and the title itself reveals that it's the endeavor of living positive sexuality, as well as about the truth that's hidden between people playing games of seduction and manipulation.The third part of the book is named "Return to God: Love Relationships" and it is the pinnacle of this delicacy because it reveals many secrets, but also mistakes that people nurture in the love relationships and due to them they cannot reach happiness and fulfillment. All in all, this book carries authenticity, originality, but also the positive experience, because it reveals answers to a very big number of troubling and important questions of the modern people to which other books don't offer answers, and if they do, they are incomplete or wrong in the most of the cases. This can already be reckoned by the incidence of misery and loneliness, as well as broken marriages of people of both sexes.Even if this book revolts the reader, it is also useful for reading in that case. Good luck
Micro Fluidization: Fundamentals and Applications provides background and history on micro fluidized bed research and development, summarizes and analyzes the hydrodynamic characteristics of gas-solid micro fluidized beds, and delves into areas such as research results of delayed onsets of minimum, bubbling and slugging fluidization regimes, as well as of the advanced transitions to turbulent and fast fluidization regimes. Based on these results, the wall effects – the key mechanism resulting in the unique behavior of micro fluidization – are analyzed. Other sections discuss gas and solid mixing characteristics in terms of gas residence time distribution, gas backmixing, and solids mixing. Final sections focus on presentations of the so-called micro fluidized bed reaction analyzer (MFBRA) – a powerful tool for catalyst screening, process development, optimization of reaction parameters, studies of reaction mechanism and kinetics, among many other purposes. The book describes, in detail, the MFBRA’s system design characteristics, analytic methodologies and various applications in thermochemical and catalytic reaction analysis.
Process intensification uses innovations in the design of equipment and processes to create more efficient, safer, and less wasteful chemical processes. Working on principles of avoiding unnecessary extras, reducing the size of set ups and tightly controlling reactions, there are benefits both in sustainability and in the economics of the processes. Beginning with basic chemical engineering principles for chemists and those who need a refresher, this textbook aims to teach process intensification to green chemistry newcomers and chemical engineering students. Based on the authors' own courses and teaching experience, with worked examples, end-of-chapter learning outcomes and problem sets with solutions, plus real-world case studies scattered throughout, this text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate course use.
A spectacularly daring and original novel of our times, of the culture wars and cancel culture, Vladimir explores issues of sex, gender, power and desire from its own unique perspective.
