A Poetics of Unnatural Narrative By Jan Alber (editor), Henrik Skov Nielsen (editor), Brian Richardson (editor)
2013 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 081421228X | PDF | 3 MB
A Poetics of Unnatural Narrative offers a collection of foundational essays introducing the reader to the full scope of unnatural narrative theory: its meaning, its goals, its extent, its paradoxes. This volume brings together a distinguished group of international critics, scholars, and historians that includes several of the world's leading narrative theorists. Together, they survey many basic areas of narrative studies from an unnatural perspective: story, time, space, voice, minds, narrative levels, "realism," nonfiction, hyperfiction, and narrative poetry. Rarely have these fundamental concepts been subjected to such an original and thoroughgoing reconceptualization. Much of the book is directed toward an investigation of experimental and antirealist work. Each essay focuses on texts and episodes that narrative theory has tended to neglect, and each provides theoretical formulations that are commensurate with such exceptional, albeit neglected, works. A Poetics of Unnatural Narrative articulates and delineates the newest and most radical movement in narrative studies. This anthology will be of great interest to students and scholars of narrative studies and of the history and theory of modern fiction.

A Wing and a Prayer: The "Bloody 100th" Bomb Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in Action over Europe in World War II by Harry H. Crosby
English | January 1, 2021 | ISBN: 0060169419 | 336 pages | PDF | 8.80 Mb
"A compelling account of the air war against Germany" written by the navigator portrayed by Anthony Boyle in Apple TV's Masters of the Air (

Publishers Weekly).

They began operations out of England in the spring of '43. They flew their Flying Fortresses almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the "Bloody Hundredth" a legend.
Harry H. Crosby-depicted in the miniseries Masters of the Air developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg-arrived with the very first crews, and left with the very last. After dealing with his fear and gaining in skill and confidence, he was promoted to Group Navigator, surviving hairbreadth escapes and eluding death while leading thirty-seven missions, some of them involving two thousand aircraft. Now, in a breathtaking and often humorous account, he takes us into the hearts and minds of these intrepid airmen to experience both the triumph and the white-knuckle terror of the war in the skies.
"Affecting . . . A vivid account . . . Uncommonly thoughtful recollections that address the moral ambiguities of a great cause without in any way denigrating the selfless valor or camaraderie that helped ennoble it." -Kirkus Reviews
"Re-creates for us the sense of how it was when European skies were filled with noise and danger, when the fate of millions hung in the balance. An evocative and excellent memoir." -Library Journal
"The acrid stench of fear and cordite, the coal burning stoves, the heroics, the losses . . . This has to be the best memoir I have read, bar none." -George Hicks, director of the Airmen Memorial Museum

Robert Thompson, "A Woman of Courage on the West ******ia Frontier: Phebe Tucker Cunningham"
English | ISBN: 1609499220 | 2013 | 160 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Author Robert Thompson recounts the harrowing story of Phebe Tucker Cunningham, from her marriage at Prickett's Fort to her return to the shores of the Monongahela.

Life on the West ******ia frontier was a daily struggle for survival, and for Phebe Tucker Cunningham, that meant the loss of her four children at the hands of the Wyandot tribe and being held captive for three years until legendary renegades Simon Girty and Alexander McKee arranged her freedom. Thompson describes in vivid detail early colonial life in the Alleghenies and the ways of the Wyandot, providing historical context for this unforgettable saga.

Heinrich Hartmann, "A World of Populations: Transnational Perspectives on Demography in the Twentieth Century"
English | ISBN: 1782384278 | 2014 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Demographic study and the idea of a "population" was developed and modified over the course of the twentieth century, mirroring the political, social, and cultural situations and aspirations of different societies. This growing field adapted itself to specific policy concerns and was therefore never apolitical, despite the protestations of practitioners that demography was "natural." Demographics were transformed into public policies that shaped family planning, population growth, medical practice, and environmental conservation. While covering a variety of regions and time periods, the essays in this book share an interest in the transnational dynamics of emerging demographic discourses and practices. Together, they present a global picture of the history of demographic knowledge.

Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture: Poetry, Manuscript, Print, 1780-1850 by Samantha Matthews
English | November 11, 2020 | ISBN: 0198857942 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 8.9 MB
'Will you write in my album?' Many Romantic poets were asked this question by women who collected contributions in their manuscript books. Those who obliged included Byron, Scott, Wordsworth, and Lamb, but also Felicia Hemans, Amelia Opie, and Sara Coleridge. Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture presents the first critical and cultural history of this forgotten phenomenon. It asks a series of questions. Where did 1820s 'albo-mania' come from, and why was it satirized as a women's 'mania'? What was the relation between visitors' books associated with great institutions and country houses, personal albums belonging to individuals, and the poetry written in both? What caused albums' re-gendering from earlier friendship books kept by male students and gentlemen on the Grand Tour to a 'feminized' practice identified mainly with young women? When albums were central to women's culture, why were so many published album poems by men? How did amateur and professional poets engage differently with albums? What does album culture's privileging of 'original poetry' have to say about attitudes towards creativity and poetic practice in the age of print?

This volume recovers a distinctive subgenre of occasional poetry composed to be read in manuscript, with its own characteristic formal features, conventions, themes, and cultural significance. Unique albums examined include that kept at the Grande Chartreuse, those owned by Regency socialite Lady Sarah Jersey, and those kept by Lake poets' daughters. As Album Verses and Romantic Literary Culture shows, album poetry reflects changing attitudes to identity, gender, class, politics, poetry, family dynamics, and social relations in the Romantic period.

A journey through the personal money stories of the US presidents and how they built wealth-or didn't.
Was Harry Truman really our poorest president or simply a man up at 2 a.m. struggling with financial anxiety? Did Calvin Coolidge get bad advice from his stockbroker to buy stocks in 1930 as the market continued to crash? Is it true George Washington enhanced his net worth by marrying up?
We often think of the US presidents as being above the fray. But the truth is, the presidents are just like us-worried about money, trying to keep a budget, and chasing the American financial dream. While some presidents like Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford became wildly successful with money, others like Thomas Jefferson and Joe Biden struggled to sustain their lifestyle. The ability to win the presidency is no guarantee of financial security, although today it's a much easier path to monetize.
In All the Presidents' Money, tax attorney and wealth manager Megan Gorman takes us on a journey to understand the different personal money stories of the presidents. Grit, education, and risk are just some of the different ways that the presidents over the last 250 years have made (or lost) money.
With lively storytelling and rigorous research, All the Presidents' Money reveals how some of the greatest leaders are the worst money managers and our least favorite presidents are good at making money.

Catherine Trundle, "Americans in Tuscany: Charity, Compassion, and Belonging "
English | ISBN: 1782383697 | 2014 | 230 pages | PDF | 866 KB
Since the time of the Grand Tour, the Italian region of Tuscany has sustained a highly visible American and Anglo migrant community. Today American women continue to migrate there, many in order to marry Italian men. Confronted with experiences of social exclusion, unfamiliar family relations, and new cultural terrain, many women struggle to build local lives. In the first ethnographic monograph of Americans in Italy, Catherine Trundle argues that charity and philanthropy are the central means by which many American women negotiate a sense of migrant belonging in Italy. This book traces women's daily acts of charity as they gave food to the poor, fundraised among the wealthy, monitored untrustworthy recipients, assessed the needy, and reflected on the emotional work that charity required. In exploring the often-ignored role of charitable action in migrant community formation, Trundle contributes to anthropological theories of gift giving, compassion, and reflexivity.

Antonin Artaud: Drawings and Portraits By Paule Thévenin; Jacques Derrida
2019 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0262039982 | PDF | 102 MB
Antonin Artaud (1896-1948)-stage and film actor, director, writer, and visual artist-was a man of rage and genius. Expelled from the Surrealist movement for his refusal to renounce the theatre, he founded the Theater of Cruelty and wrote The Theater and Its Double, one of the key twentieth-century texts on the topic. Artaud spent nine years at the end of his life in asylums, undergoing electroshock treatments. Released to the care of his friends in 1946, he began to draw again. This book presents drawings and portraits from this late resurgence, all in color. Accompanying the images are texts by by Artaud's longtime friend and editor Paule Thévenin and the philosopher Jacques Derrida."We won't be describing any paintings," Derrida warns the reader. Derrida struggles with Artaud's peculiar language, punctuating his text with agitated footnotes and asides (asking at one point, "How will they translate this?"). Thévenin offers a more straightforward biographical and historical account. (It was on the walls of her apartment that Derrida first saw Artaud's paintings and drawings.) These two texts were previously published by the MIT Press in "The Secret Art of Antonin Artaud" without the artwork that is their subject. This book brings together art and text for the first time in English.

English | ISBN: 1782383778 | 2014 | 768 pages | PDF | 5 MB

It provides a synthesis of our knowledge about the emergence and persistence of the car, using a broad range of material including novels, poems, films, and songs to unearth the desires that shaped our present "car society." Combining social, psychological, and structural explanations, the author concludes that the ability of cars to convey transcendental experience, especially for men, explains our attachment to the vehicle.

However, they acted in the shadows to s†éál advanced Soviet equipment and penetrate top-secret training areas. Here Steve Gibson offers a new understanding of the complex British role in the Cold War.

Base and Superstructure: Understanding Marxism's Second Biggest Idea By RJ Robinson
2023 | 285 Pages | ISBN: 1838193847 | PDF | 2 MB
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels bequeathed us an imposing arsenal of concepts with which to understand and master our world - the labour theory of value, modes of production, class struggle, and many more. These concepts gave us the tools with which to analyse - and transform - society as a whole.But one pair of concepts, which Marx and Engels could only sketch out, eluded both Marxism's founders and their successors - and it is a pairing without which it is impossible to understand society in all its complexity and richness.What is this elusive coupling?Base and superstructureThe theory of 'base and superstructure' is simple enough: parts of society that are far removed from its economic 'base' are still affected by that base. Indeed, there is an important sense in which the base determines them. Art, politics, the state, philosophy, religion, the family - all orbit the mode of production.But what does 'determines' mean? If, as Engels argued, superstructures are determined only 'in the last instance', what does that mean? If superstructures retain a certain 'relative autonomy', what does that mean? Likewise for the many interpretations that have followed - countless delicate hints and bold hypotheses but, as yet, no final answer.Plainly, the problem is more profound than many imagine. Yet 'base and superstructure' remains a core idea, without which Marxism cannot complete its analysis of history and society - or take effective action to change them.Hence RJ Robinson's Base And Superstructure - a radical new analysis, grounded in core principles of Marxism, yet setting human action and consciousness firmly at its centre.

Battle of Stalingrad: The Beginning of the End for Hitler in the East by Dmitry Degtev
English | August 7, 2024 | ISBN: 1399052357 | 248 pages | MOBI | 7.38 Mb
A ground-breaking study of the Battle of Stalingrad containing unpublished materials detailing branches of the armed forces and the important contribution of the Russian river flotilla.

The Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest battle of the Second World War. An estimated 2 million individuals, military as well as civilian, became casualties in a savage struggle which lasted for more than five months.
Stalingrad's strategic position on the River Volga in southern Russia meant that whoever controlled the city controlled access to the oil fields of the Caucasus. Without that oil, the Germans were ultimately destined to fail on all fronts. The Battle of Stalingrad was, therefore, arguably, the most important conflict of the entire war. Yet, the author argues that both Hitler and Stalin lost sight of the real objectives of the campaign, with the capture of Stalingrad becoming seen as the end in itself. Stalingrad was not specified as a particular objective of the Germans in the original plan of Operation Blau. But when the defenders of Stalingrad unexpectedly stood in the way of the Germans, it became the focal point of the German effort.
Hitler and his generals were naively sure that after the capture of Stalingrad, victory in the war was a certainty. Stalin and his generals thought that since the Wehrmacht stubbornly fought over the city's ruins, regardless of the losses it suffered, it meant that the Germans knew more about its importance than they did, and so were determined to hold it at all costs. In fact, the strategic importance of Stalingrad was greatly exaggerated.
The scale of the German operation to seize the Caucasus was immense, with an operation stretching for 1,500,00 kilometres (approximately equal to the distance between Berlin and Moscow). This involved laying routes for tank and infantry divisions through areas of virtual desert where there was an almost complete absence of railways and highways. No consideration was given to the needs of troops in fuel, ammunition, food or even water. At the same time, the unrealistic plan to capture the Caucasus did not provide any alternative options in case the main operation failed, which it was doomed to do.
As for the Soviets, frightened and broken by the military disasters near Kerch and Kharkov, when entire armies were captured, Stalin authorized the retreat of the Red Army to the Volga, which turned into a stampede. But then the Soviet leader abruptly changed his mind and issued the famous order 'Not a step back!' While historians state that this order inspired the Soviet troops to resist and strengthened discipline, it in fact led to an increase in the number of defectors and collaborators.
This ground-breaking study of the Battle of Stalingrad is a highly graphic chronicle of the fighting, shown from two sides, written by a Russian historian using much material previously unpublished in the West. It details the efforts of all branches of the armed forces; tanks, artillery, infantry, aviation and, for the first time, the important contribution of the Russian river flotilla.

Antony Preston - Battleships
Hamlyn | 1981 | ISBN: 060034942X | English | 200 pages | PDF | 131.69 MB
This lavishly illustrated book offers a concise history of the battleship from the end of the Age of Sail to the Iowa Class. Focusing on the world wars has been common in such books; this one also covers the pre-Dreadnaught era, and does it well. There are ample photos of the ships themselves, of scale models, and line drawings. The text was written by a lover of the big ships, as is evident in the section on H.M.S. Vanguard, the last British battleship, described as, "a magnificant sea boat," that handled beautifully, without the lumbering movements of less aquadynamic vessels. This is the good book for beginners who want a short, conplete history of ships the like of which we'll never see again.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique By Julian Rushton
2023 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 1316513831 | PDF | 4 MB
Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique is a key work in the understanding of romanticism, programme music, and the development of the orchestra, post-Beethoven. It is noted for having a title and a detailed programme, and for its connection with the composer's personal life and loves. This handbook situates the symphony within its time, and considers influences, literary as well as musical, that shaped its conception. Providing a close analysis of the symphony, its formal properties and melodic and textural elements (including harmony and counterpoint), it is a rich but accessible study which will appeal to music lovers, scholars, and students. It contains a translation of the programme, which sheds light on the form and character of each movement, and the unusual use of a melodic idée fixe representing a beloved woman. The unusual five-movement design permits a range of musical topics to be discussed and related to traditional symphonic elements: sonata form, a long Adagio, dance-type movements, and thematic development.

Beyond the Bauhaus: Cultural Modernity in Breslau, 1918-33 (Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics In Germany) by Deborah Ascher Barnstone
English | June 28, 2016 | ISBN: 0472119907 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 8.7 MB
Although the Breslau arts scene was one of the most vibrant in all of Weimar-era Germany, it has largely disappeared from memory. Studies of the influence of Weimar culture on modernism have focused almost exclusively on Berlin and the Dessau Bauhaus, yet the advances that occurred in Breslau affected nearly every intellectual field, forming the basis for aesthetic modernism internationally and having an enduring impact on visual art and architecture. Breslau boasted a thriving modern arts scene and one of the premier German arts academies of the day until the Nazis began their assault on so-called degenerate art. This book charts the cultural production of Breslau-based artists, architects, art collectors, urban designers, and arts educators who operated in the margins of Weimar-era cultural debates. Rather than accepting the radical position of the German avant-garde or the reactionary position of German conservatives, many Breslauers sought a middle ground.

This richly illustrated volume is the first book in English to address this history, constituting an invaluable addition to the literature on the Weimar period. Its readership includes scholars of German history, art, architecture, urban design, planning, collecting, and exhibition history; of the avant-garde, and of the development of arts academies and arts pedagogy.

Beyond the Binary: Gender and Legal Personhood in Islamic Law By Saadia Yacoob

One of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary Muslim ethics is the status of women in Islamic law. Whereas Muslim conservatives argue that gender-differentiated legal rulings reflect complementary gender roles, Muslim feminists argue that Islamic law has subordinated women and is thus in need of reform. The shared assumption on both sides, however, is that gender fundamentally shapes an individual's legal status. Beyond the Binary explores an expansive cross section of topics in ninth- to twelfth-century Hanafi legal thought, ranging from sexual crimes to consent to marriage, to show that early Muslim jurists imagined a world built not on a binary distinction between male and female but on multiple intersecting hierarchies of gender, age, enslavement, lineage, class, and other social roles. Saadia Yacoob offers a restorative reading of Islamic law, arguing that its intersectional and relational understanding of legal personhood offers a productive space for Muslim feminists to move beyond critique and instead think with and through the Islamic legal tradition.

Ana Salzberg, "Beyond the Looking Glass: Narcissism and Female Stardom in Studio-Era Hollywood"
English | ISBN: 1782383999 | 2014 | 206 pages | PDF | 2 MB
As living subjects rather than static icons, studio-era Hollywood actresses actively negotiated a balance between their public personas, film roles, and corporeal presence. The contemporary audience's engagement with the experience of these actresses unsettles the traditional model of narcissistic identification, which divides the off-screen spectator from his/her on-screen ideal. Exploring the fan's desire for a material connection to the performer - as well as the star's own dialogue between embodied experience and idealized image - Beyond the Looking Glass traces on- and off-screen representations of narcissistic femininity in classical Hollywood through studies of stars like Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe. Merging historical and theoretical concerns, with particular attention to the resonance of golden-age Hollywood in new media, this book explores the movie screen as a medium of shared experience between spectator and star.

Jason B. Erbaum, "Bioethanol: Production, Benefits and Economics "
English | ISBN: 1607416972 | 2009 | 199 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The principle fuel used as a petrol substitute for road transport vehicles is bioethanol. Bioethanol fuel is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be manufactured by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam. The main sources of sugar required to produce ethanol come from fuel or energy crops. These crops are grown specifically for energy use and include corn, maize and wheat crops, waste straw, willow and popular trees, sawdust, reed canary grass, cord grasses, Jerusalem artichoke, myscanthus and sorghum plants. Ethanol or ethyl ******* (C2H5OH) is a clear colourless liquid, it is biodegradable, low in toxicity and causes little environmental pollution if spilt. Ethanol burns to produce carbon dioxide and water. Ethanol is a high octane fuel and has replaced lead as an octane enhancer in petrol. By blending ethanol with gasoline we can also oxygenate the fuel mixture so it burns more completely and reduces polluting emissions. This new and important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in this promising field.

Rafael Comeaux, "Biosensors: Properties, Materials and Applications "
English | ISBN: 1607416174 | 2009 | 390 pages | PDF | 10 MB
A biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical signal. It consists of 3 the sensitive biological element, the transducer and the associated electronics or signal processors that are primarily responsible for the display of the results in a user-friendly way. The most widespread example of a commercial biosensor is the blood glucose biosensor. Recently, arrays of many different detector molecules have been applied in so-called electronic nose devices, where the pattern of response from the detectors is used to fingerprint a substance. There are also several applications of biosensors in food analysis. Optical sensors are used to detect pathogens and food toxins. Thus, the light system in these biosensors has been fluorescence, since this type of optical measurement can greatly amplify the signal. This book will present research on new materials, technologies as well as applications in the field of biosensors.

Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen: Deaths and Entrances by David Boucher, Lucy Boucher
English | April 8, 2021 | ISBN: 1501345656, 1501345664 | True EPUB | 312 pages | 0.4 MB
Both Dylan and Cohen have been a presence on the music and poetry landscape spanning six decades. This book begins with a discussion of their contemporary importance, and how they have sustained their enduring appeal as performers and recording artists. The authors argue that both Dylan and Cohen shared early aspirations that mirrored the Beat Generation. They sought to achieve the fame of Dylan Thomas, who proved a bohemian poet could thrive outside the academy, and to live his life of unconditional social irresponsibility.

While Dylan's and Cohen's fame fluctuated over the decades, it was sustained by self-consciously adopted personas used to distance themselves from their public selves. This separation of self requires an exploration of the artists' relation to religion as an avenue to find and preserve inner identity. The relationship between their lyrics and poetry is explored in the context of Federico García Lorca's concept of the poetry of inspiration and the emotional depths of 'duende.' Such ideas draw upon the dislocation of the mind and the liberation of the senses that so struck Dylan and Cohen when they first read the poetry and letters of Arthur Rimbaud and Lorca. The authors show that performance and the poetry are integral, and the 'duende,' or passion, of the delivery, is inseparable from the lyric or poetry, and common to Dylan, Cohen and the Beat Generation.

Brendan O'Shea, "Bosnia's Forgotten Battlefield: Bihac"
English | ISBN: 0752465953 | 2012 | 288 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Based on the author's experiences as a serving soldier and European Commission Monitor, a narrative account of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia

Brendan O'Shea had access to both EU and UN official documents for his research and used these to unravel the complex story of the Bosnian war. He tells the tragic story of what happened at the "safe haven" at Bihac in northwestern Bosnia between 1992 and 1996, showing the Bosnian civil war in microcosm. At Bihac, Muslims fought all variety of Serb, Muslims fought Muslims, and the Croats interfered continually, thereby ensuring a rapid descent into bitter civil war and a vindictive power struggle. "Ethnic cleansing" was rife, and horrific war crimes that shocked the world were committed on all sides. Local politicians manipulated the desperate refugee situation in order to extract concessions, humanitarian aid, and considerable sums of money from the UN and other agencies, and then siphoned off huge quantities to pay for military arms and equipment. O'Shea reveals how the generals manipulated all agencies who came to assist them to ensure their own military and political advancement. Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic, and Slobodan Milosevic are still names that stick horribly in the memory. As every party to the Bosnian tragedy promoted their own version of events as the truth, O'Shea reveals the numerous layers of deceit and dishonesty.

Build: Investing in America's Infrastructure by Sadek Wahba
English | October 1, 2024 | ISBN: 1647124964 | 392 pages | PDF | 7.94 Mb
A bold plan for the United States to regain the lead in infrastructure development through privatization and public-private partnerships

America's infrastructure―its essential roads, bridges, ports, airports, power grids, and telecommunications systems―were once the pride of the nation and an example for the world. But now, after years of neglect and oversight, this infrastructure is crumbling and causing catastrophic changes in the US quality of life. Build seeks to explain how American infrastructure collapsed and what can be done to repair it.
In a series of colorful, rarely told cases, Build takes readers on a revealing tour behind the scenes of the successes and debacles of key infrastructure projects to show what works, why the United States has failed in recent decades to invest in infrastructure, and how the private sector can help revitalize the sector, spur job growth, and contribute to climate resilience.
Sadek Wahba examines the private origins of US infrastructure and the federally funded megaprojects that came after the New Deal, investigating the role the private sector can and should play in building infrastructure. By drawing comparisons with systems in the United Kingdom, France, India, and China, Wahba shows that while privatization and public-private partnerships cannot solve all infrastructure challenges, they are essential for closing funding gaps, overcoming political paralysis, and driving major infrastructure advances.
Build will appeal to readers interested in public finance, domestic policy, the role of the federal government, tax policy, and urban affairs.

English | ISBN: 160741127X | 2010 | 155 pages | PDF | 9 MB

Bulwark of the Old Regime: France's Royal Swedish Regiment in the French and American Revolutions by Neil Kent, Clément Chevalier
English | May 14, 2024 | ISBN: 1680538500, 1680538519 | True EPUB | 134 pages | 18.4 MB
In 1740, the French King Louis XV granted his Swedish-led forces the title of Royal Swedish Regiment, for which it received the same privileges as all royal regiments, including the protection of the king, new flags, and ordinance. Louis XV acted to fulfill a request of King Fredrik I of Sweden and to demonstrate his satisfaction with the great value shown by the regiment in battle.

This intriguing book traces the history of this storied regiment throughout its service, including during the American War of Independence, and up to the time of the French Revolution of 1789.

RES Tanner, "Burma 1942: Memories of a Retreat"
English | ISBN: 0752449095 | 2009 | 192 pages | EPUB | 835 KB
In December 1941 a Japanese battalion of 143rd Regiment of 55th Division crossed the Burma-Siam border and seized Victoria Point, heralding the invasion of Burma. The first air raids on Rangoon were opposed by only two fighter squadrons-16 P40s of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) and 16 Buffaloes of the RAF. What followed was a fighting retreat as the British forces struggled to the Indian border, harried by an experienced Japanese force which was supported by at least 200 aircraft against the Allies' meager 50. Burma 1942 is a unique assessment of this disastrous episode in British military history, taken in part from the diary and maps kept by Ralph Tanner, who served with 2nd Battalion The Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during the retreat, and from the official Battalion war diary by Major Chadwick. It includes background to the mobilization of the Battalion in 1941, who they were, their equipment, and what they were trained for, and considers the series of disasters at Moulmein, Sittang, Toksan, and Yenangyaung which left them increasingly unable to fight as a unit. It also addresses the factors which prevented optimum military performance, includes discussions with the author's one-time enemies, and serves as a tribute to the strength of the men of the battalion-most of whom were conscripts-and of whom a fifth were killed and have no known grave.

Sergey V. Dorozhkin, "Calcium Orthophosphate-Based Biocomposites and Hybrid Biomaterials "
English | ISBN: 1608769410 | 2010 | 169 pages | PDF | 6 MB
In this book, the state-of-the-art of calcium orthophosphate-based biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials suitable for biomedical applications is presented. This subject belongs to a rapidly expanding area of science and research because these types of biomaterials offer many significant and exciting possibilities for hard tissue regeneration. Through the successful combination of the desired properties of matrix materials with those of fillers (in such systems, calcium orthophosphates might play either role), innovative bone graft biomaterials can be designed. The book starts with an introduction to locate the reader. Further, general information on composites and hybrid materials, including a brief description of their major constituents are presented. Various types of calcium orthophosphate-based bone-analogue biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials, those are either already in use or being investigated for various biomedical applications are then extensively discussed. Many different formulations in terms of the material constituents, fabrication technologies, structural and bioactive properties, as well as both in vitro and in vivo characteristics have already been proposed. Among the others, the nano-structurally controlled biocomposites, those with nano-sized calcium orthophosphates, biomimetically-fabricated formulations with collagen, chitin and/or gelatin, as well as various functionally graded structures seem to be the most promising candidates for clinical applications. The specific advantages of using calcium orthophosphate-based biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials in the selected applications are highlighted. As the way from a laboratory to a hospital is a long one and the prospective biomedical candidates have to meet many different necessities, the critical issues and scientific challenges that require further research and development have been examined as well.

Edward Lambah-Stoate, "Called to Arms: One Family's War, from the Battle of Britain to Burma"
English | ISBN: 0752458884 | 2011 | 224 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
On a cold day in January 1944, as war raged in Europe, Betty Hussey and Jack Stoate were married. In so doing they brought together two families, whose members fought across the globe to defeat the Axis. In Called to Arms, Edward Lambah-Stoate traces the wartime experiences of nine relatives, including his parents, to present a fascinating account of the impact of conflict on the ordinary people of Britain who gallantly came forward to do their bit. These included a Battle of Britain pilot, a Land Girl, a member of the Home Guard, a Royal Marine, an infantryman, and a merchant seaman, who between them fought in North Africa and Italy, braved the Atlantic and Russian convoys, were captured by the Japanese and worked on the Burma-Siam Railway, and took part in D-Day. Not all of them survived, but their contribution was invaluable-and representative. Using a wealth of previously unpublished material including log books, private correspondence, and memoirs, this book provides a unique insight into one family's war.

Alison Plowden, "Caroline and Charlotte"
English | ISBN: 0750941731 | 2014 | 304 pages | EPUB | 484 KB
Caroline of Brunswick, wife of George Prince of Wales and Prince Regent, and her daughter, Princess Charlotte, lived out their lives surrounded by a cast of characters who might have been lifted straight from the pages of some Gothic novel. Theirs was a saga of passion and pathos, tragedy and black comedy, feuding and fighting - all set in Regency England against a backdrop of Europe in turmoil. The marriage of the Prince of Wales - renowned for his intemperance, hedonism and plain ordinary selfishness - to his cousin Caroline of Brunswick in 1795 was a preordained disaster. The groom is said to have called for brandy when he first laid eyes on the bride, while the bride was later to swear that the groom spent most of their wedding night lying in the grate in a drunken stupor. Brought together for reasons of financial and dynastic expediency, the couple split up within a year of the birth of their daughter, Charlotte Augusta in 1796. The colourful story of these two fiercely dependent and ultimately tragic women is brilliantly told by Alison Plowden, tapping a wealth of contemporary correspondence, journals, memoirs and contemporary press reportage. "Caroline & Charlotte" constitutes a real-life Regency romance which makes gripping and poignant reading.

Susan James, "Catherine Parr: Henry VIII's Last Love"
English | ISBN: 0752448536 | 2009 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Romantic, chaotic and terrifying, Catherine Parr's life unfolds like a romance novel. Married at seventeen to the grandson of a confirmed lunatic and widowed at twenty, Catherine chose a Yorkshire lord twice her age as her second husband. Caught up in the turbulent terrors of the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, she was captured by northern rebels, held hostage and suffered violence at their hands. Fleeing to the south shortly afterward, Catherine took refuge in the household of Princess Mary and in the arms of the king's brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Seymour. Her employment in Mary's household brought her to the attention of Mary's father, the unpredictable, often-wed Henry VIII. Desperately in love with Seymour, Catherine was forced into marriage with a king whose passion for her could not be hidden and who was determined to make her his queen.

Most books about Celtic saints are based on their legendary medieval lives. This book, however, is based upon our earliest surviving information: a study of the sites where these early Christians lived and worked. Archeology, combined with early inscriptions and texts, offers us important clues which help us to piece together something of the fascinating world of early Irish Christianity. The book is illustrated with the author's own evocative photographs of where each saint lived and worked, drawing readers into the beautiful world which these men and women inhabited.

Alan Weeks, "Cheer Up, Mate!"
English | ISBN: 0752459724 | 2011 | 224 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Between 1939 and 1945 the world witnessed what is generally agreed to be the most horrific war in history. Millions died and millions more were physical or psychologically wounded by the conflict. Yet amidst the pain and devastation, people were not only able to survive, but also managed to maintain a sense of humor. For some, it was precisely this ability to laugh at their misfortunes (and those of the other side) that enabled them to solider on. This was especially true of the British, a nation whose reaction to more or less anything up to and including someone's house being bombed to rubble tended to be, "never mind, have a cup of tea." This "Blitz Spirit" is perhaps best summed up by Mona Lott, one of the characters in Tommy Handley's radio show It's That Man Again (the show's title itself being a comical reference to Hitler): "it's being so cheerful as keeps me going."

China's Revolution and the Quest for a Socialist Future By Ken Hammond
2023 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1736850083 | PDF | 8 MB
Between the end of the Opium War in the 1842 and the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949 China, long the most prosperous and sophisticated country in the world, was subjected to the military, economic, and political domination of Western imperialism. The old dynastic system was overthrown in 1911, and in 1921 the Communist Party was formed, which led the revolutionary struggle over the next three decades. Since the founding of the PRC China has pursued its distinctive path of socialist construction, a challenging and often contentious process which is still unfolding today. This volume traces the crisis of Old China and the course of the revolutionary struggle up to 1949, and follows the development of New China through the era of Mao Zedong's leadership, the launching of reform under Deng Xiaoping, and the beginning of a new era under the leadership of Xi Jinping. China's use of market mechanisms to develop the productive economy has generated contradictions as well as dramatic growth, and China has achieved great things in education, health care, and the provision of other social services. But the process of socialist construction remains an unfinished and ongoing venture, and the future of the revolution is very much a work in progress.

Aubrey Burl, "Courts of Love, Castles of Hate: Troubadours & Trobairitz in Southern France 1071-1321"
English | ISBN: 0750945362 | 2008 | 256 pages | EPUB | 1220 KB
The figure of the Troubadour combines the ideals of knighthood with the inspiration of the poet and musician and created a cultural explosion which influenced the whole course of Western art and civilisation. Burl traces the story from the birth of the first Troubadour in 1071 to the execution of the last Cathar Good Man in 1231 and the close of the distinctive southern French culture that had given rise to it. The tale incorporates the Cusades to the Holy Lands and the Albigensian crusades through the Languedoc and the regular incursions from the English. In telling his story of the Troubadours and their song he brings to life the world of medieval Languedoc. The author is acknowledged as an authority on the Troubadours, one of the most evocative subjects in history.

Covering Yourself as a Nudist: Creative Solutions For Staying Modest When Clothes Are Not An Option by Kristin Williams
English | August 17, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CWS62R1S | 45 pages | EPUB | 0.10 Mb
Hey there, fellow nudists (and curious readers)! I'm Kristin, and if there's one thing I've learned from living life au naturel, it's that being a nudist is about so much more than just not wearing clothes. It's about freedom, comfort, and embracing who you are in your most natural state.

But let's be real-no matter how much you love the nudist lifestyle, there are times when even the most committed nudist finds themselves in a bit of a pickle. You know the kind I'm talking about: those moments when you suddenly need to cover up, and you don't have a stitch of clothing in sight.
Let me paint you a picture. There I was, lounging around my house on a perfectly lazy Sunday, enjoying the bliss of being completely ***** and utterly relaxed. The windows were open, a gentle breeze was blowing, and I was feeling all kinds of zen. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. My heart skipped a beat, and I froze. I wasn't expecting anyone-no deliveries, no friends dropping by, nothing. And there I was, in all my ***** glory, with absolutely nothing nearby to throw on.
Panic started to set in as the doorbell rang again. I scanned the room for something-anything-I could use to cover myself. A towel? Nope, in the bathroom. A blanket? Way over on the couch, and I was by the kitchen. The best I could do was grab a dish towel and hold it in front of me like the world's tiniest shield. Spoiler alert: it wasn't exactly the cover-up I'd hoped for.
That moment got me thinking: how often do us nudists find ourselves in situations like this? Whether it's an unexpected visitor, an emergency run to the store, or just a quick need to transition between our nudist haven and the textile world, there are times when we have to cover up-fast. And if you're like me, you've probably found yourself scrambling for a solution more than once.
That's where this book comes in. Covering Yourself as a Nudist is all about those moments when you need to find creative, quick, and often hilarious ways to cover up when clothes aren't an option. Think of it as your guide to staying modest in a pinch, with a good dose of humor and a lot of practical advice thrown in for good measure.
Over the years, I've had my fair share of "***** and afraid" moments, and I've learned a thing or two about improvising when you're in a bind. From using household items to strategically placing yourself behind furniture, I've tried it all-and I'm here to share my best tips, tricks, and stories with you. We'll talk about everything from making your home nudist-friendly (with easy access to cover-ups) to on-the-go solutions for when you're out and about. And don't worry-we'll keep it light, fun, and totally positive, because being a nudist is something to celebrate, not stress over.
So, whether you're a seasoned nudist looking for a few new tricks or someone just dipping their toes into the lifestyle (pun intended), this book is for you. We'll laugh, we'll learn, and most importantly, we'll embrace the freedom of the nudist life-while also being prepared for those moments when you need a little extra coverage.

Craft of the Inland Waterways by Anthony Burton
English | 24 May 2023 | ISBN: 1399070800 | True EPUB | 176 pages | 69 MB
The book traces the history of the various craft that have been used for transport on Britain's rivers and canals from the earliest times to the present day.

The first section deals with the long history of the development of river craft, from prehistoric log boats to the whole range of sailing barges, such as the Humber keel and the Thames barge. By the middle of the 18th century, canal construction brought in a new generation of craft, not just the familiar narrow boats, but the wide boats such as the Leeds & Liverpool short boats, maintenance craft and even passenger boats. Steam power was introduced in the 19th century for a variety of crafts from tugs to pleasure steamers, while the 20th century brought in the diesel motors for boats and barges of all kinds.
Today, there is still some commercial traffic, but an ever-increasing demand for boats for pleasure. Much of this story is told in terms of preserved craft and is also based on the author's own experience aboard many of these craft, whether crewing a Thames barge or working in the engine room of a Clyde puffer.

Jules Stewart, "Crimson Snow: Britain's First Disaster in Afghanistan"
English | ISBN: 0750948264 | 2010 | 272 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In the mid-nineteenth century, the British and Russian Empires played the 'Great Game,' a rivalry for supremacy in Central Asia. To secure a 'buffer zone' in Afghanistan, between India and Russian territory, Britain launched the First Anglo-Afghan War in 1838. Initial success, including the imposition of a puppet regime supported by too few troops (a situation that has great resonance today), was followed by complete disaster in 1842, with 4,500 soldiers and 12,000 civilian camp followers killed by rebellious Afghans. Only one Briton is known to have escaped the massacre. This compelling story of imperial misadventure is told by Jules Stewart, a former Reuters journalist with considerable experience in the region and a specialist in North-West Frontier history, and has a foreword from General Sir David Richards, Chief of the General Staff and a former NATO co ander in Afghanistan. It provides important parallels with our current commitments in this graveyard of ambitions, and illustrates how little has been learnt from the past.

This book explores technology and the global tech industry in relation to social, health, economic, and environmental relations and politics. Peter C. Little argues that the power and influence of electronics and Big Tech-from the proliferation of digital platforms to the expansion of global electronic waste streams-is a political-ecological problem that impacts communities and lives in both the Global North and South. From intense resource extraction, industrial pollution, and surging health and economic inequalities, to data-driven surveillance, platform economy proliferation and intrusion, and Silicon Valley corporate-power, Little argues that the political ecology of tech matters now more than ever. Based on a mixture of engagements with tech criticism, ethnographic case studies, and critical analysis and development of guiding concepts-ranging from technocapital to technoprecarious political ecology-the book exposes and interrogates the underlying toxicity, precarity, and planetary politics of global tech. Critical Zones of Technopower and Global Political Ecology also tracks justice struggles that confront technopower, including "just tech" forms of social action that further reinforce the importance of a global political ecology of technocapitalism in the digital age.

Alison Plowden, "Danger to Elizabeth: The Catholics Under Elizabeth I "
English | ISBN: 075092196X | | 254 pages | EPUB | 812 KB
Elizabeth I is perhaps England's most famous monarch. Born in 1533, the product of the doomed marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth was heir to her father's title, then disinherited and finally imprisoned by her half sister Mary. But in 1558, on Mary's death, she ascended the throne and reigned for forty-five years. Respected by her subjects and idolised by future generations, Gloriana's fierce devotion to her country and its people truly made her England's fairest queen and icon. In the wake of the Reformation Europe lay deeply divided by religion. This, the second volume of Alison Plowden's acclaimed Elizabethan quartet, charts the dramatic and multi-faceted struggle between Elizabeth and the Catholics of England and the rest of Europe who, denouncing the queen as a heretic, a bastard and a usurper, threatened to overthrow her and re-establish the supremacy of Rome in all Christendom.

Das Ende des Ichs: Über den dringend notwendigen Paradigmenwechsel unserer Zeit von Elena Holzheu
Deutsch | 19. Oktober 2023 | ISBN: 3757883284 | True EPUB | 118 Seiten | 0.3 MB
"Das Ende des Ichs" nimmt den Leser mit auf eine kurze Reise durch die fundamentalen Theoreme der Quantenmechanik. Am Schnittpunkt von Wissenschaft und Philosophie wird das materialistische Paradigma in Frage gestellt. Inhaltlich stützt sich die Autorin auf die Rezeption der Arbeiten der Physiker David Bohm und Amit Goswami sowie auf die Philosophie von Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Sie argumentiert, dass das Ich-Bewusstsein nur ein Überbleibsel der Verarbeitung von Sinneseindrücken ist und skizziert ein postmaterialistisches Menschenbild für das 21. Jahrhundert, das auf die Ich-Konzeption und die Vorstellung eines unbewegten Bewegers verzichtet.

Data Science and Predictive Analytics: Biomedical and Health Applications using R by Ivo D. Dinov
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 851 Pages | ISBN : 3319723464 | 503.78 MB
Over the past decade, Big Data have become ubiquitous in all economic sectors, scientific disciplines, and human activities. They have led to striking technological advances, affecting all human experiences. Our ability to manage, understand, interrogate, and interpret such extremely large, multisource, heterogeneous, incomplete, multiscale, and incongruent data has not kept pace with the rapid increase of the volume, complexity and proliferation of the deluge of digital information. There are three reasons for this shortfall.

First, the volume of data is increasing much faster than the corresponding rise of our computational processing power (Kryder's law > Moore's law). Second, traditional discipline-bounds inhibit expeditious progress. Third, our education and training activities have fallen behind the accelerated trend of scientific, information, and communication advances. There are very few rigorous instructional resources, interactive learning materials, and dynamic training environments that support active data science learning. The textbook balances the mathematical foundations with dexterous demonstrations and examples of data, tools, modules and workflows that serve as pillars for the urgently needed bridge to close that supply and demand predictive analytic skills gap.
Exposing the enormous opportunities presented by the tsunami of Big data, this textbook aims to identify specific knowledge gaps, educational barriers, and workforce readiness deficiencies. Specifically, it focuses on the development of a transdisciplinary curriculum integrating modern computational methods, advanced data science techniques, innovative biomedical applications, and impactful health analytics.
The content of this graduate-level textbook fills a substantial gap in integrating modern engineering concepts, computational algorithms, mathematical optimization, statistical computing and biomedical inference. Big data analytic techniques and predictive scientific methods demand broad transdisciplinary knowledge, appeal to an extremely wide spectrum of readers/learners, and provide incredible opportunities for engagement throughout the academy, industry, regulatory and funding agencies.
The two examples below demonstrate the powerful need for scientific knowledge, computational abilities, interdisciplinary expertise, and modern technologies necessary to achieve desired outcomes (improving human health and optimizing future return on investment). This can only be achieved by appropriately trained teams of researchers who can develop robust decision support systems using modern techniques and effective end-to-end protocols, like the ones described in this textbook.

A geriatric neurologist is examining a patient complaining of gait imbalance and posture instability. To determine if the patient may suffer from Parkinson's disease, the physician acquires clinical, cognitive, phenotypic, imaging, and genetics data (Big Data). Most clinics and healthcare centers are not equipped with skilled data analytic teams that can wrangle, harmonize and interpret such complex datasets. A learner that completes a course of study using this textbook will have the competency and ability to manage the data, generate a protocol for deriving biomarkers, and provide an actionable decision support system. The results of this protocol will help the physician understand the entire patient dataset and assist in making a holistic evidence-based, data-driven, clinical diagnosis.
To improve the return on investment for their shareholders, a healthcare manufacturer needs to forecast the demand for their product subject to environmental, demographic, economic, and bio-social sentiment data (Big Data). The organization's data-analytics team is tasked with developing a protocol that identifies, aggregates, harmonizes, models and analyzes these heterogeneous data elements to generate a trend forecast. This system needs to provide an automated, adaptive, scalable, and reliable prediction of the optimal investment, e.g., R&D allocation, that maximizes the company's bottom line. A reader that complete a course of study using this textbook will be able to ingest the observed structured and unstructured data, mathematically represent the data as a computable object, apply appropriate model-based and model-free prediction techniques. The results of these techniques may be used to forecast the expected relation between the company's investment, product supply, general demand of healthcare (providers and patients), and estimate the return on initial investments.

Running for Congress is a world all unto its own, and in today's divided America, it's not for the faint of heart. Dead Man Running clearly shows what can be expected on a personal level in a high-stakes political race. A candidate has to understand the arrows coming at him are unrelenting and dangerous, but it's the arrows that come from behind that can do the most damage.
Like a real-life political "Rocky," Dead Man Running takes you behind the scenes and into the heart and mind of one candidate who dared to accept the seemingly impossible challenge, despite the odds. With his own Party's establishment convinced there was no hope of victory, one average American citizen was forced to go it alone with only the help of dedicated grass roots volunteers. Dead Man Running is the true story of an unlikely candidate who challenged a powerful, entrenched congressman and began the chain of events that would bring real change to that district.
Written in a reporting style that moves the Description along quickly and holds the reader's attention, Dead Man Running is very prescient in light of what's happening in politics today.

2010 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 3447061626 | PDF | 3 MB
Seit nahezu 200 Jahren wird die iranische bzw. zoroastrische Apokalypse erforscht. Sie ist von großer Wichtigkeit für die altiranische Kultur und Religion. Die Hauptquellen dieser Apokalypse sind auf Mittelpersisch niedergelegt und haben ihre endgültige Fassung im ersten islamischen Jahrhundert (9. und 10. Jh.) erhalten. Shahrokh Raeis Untersuchung führt die unterschiedlichen Elemente, Motive und Ansatze, die sich in den apokalyptischen Texten finden lassen, zusammen. Die Texte werden transkribiert und übersetzt, die relevanten apokalyptischen Begriffe werden qualitativ und quantitativ miteinander verglichen. Die Frage nach dem wechselseitigen Einfluss der iranischen Apokalypse auf die jüdisch-christliche ist seit langer Zeit ein wichtiges Thema der Orientforschung. Der Vergleich mittelpersischer Texte gibt hier neuen Erkenntnissen Raum. So ist es beispielsweise von großem Interesse, dass die Weltalterlehre nur im Zand i -Wahman Yasn auftaucht, in anderen Texten aber abwesend ist. Ebenso von Bedeutung ist die ausführliche Darstellung der Auferstehung, die ausschließlich in Wizidagiha i Zadspram vorhanden ist. Mit der Bearbeitung der apokalyptischen Texte und ihrer thematischen Klassifizierung bietet Raei ein umfassendes Bild der zoroastrischen Endzeitvorstellungen.

Die Verborgene Tradition By Hannah Arendt
2000 | 183 Pages | ISBN: 3633541632 | PDF | 3 MB
Hannah Arendt versammelte in diesem Band sieben in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren verfaßte Essays: Über den Imperialismus - Organisierte Schuld - Die verborgene Tradition - Juden in der Welt von gestern - Franz Kafka - Aufklärung und Judenfrage - Der Zionismus aus heutiger Sicht. Jeder von ihnen ist, wie sie in der vorangestellten Zueignung an Karl Jaspers ausführt, im Bewußtsein des jüdischen Schicksals in diesem Jahrhundert geschrieben. Es sind frühe Zeugnisse der lebenslangen Auseinandersetzung Hannah Arendts mit der jüdischen Frage. Sie zeigen, wie sehr ihr historisch-politisches Denken insgesamt bestimmt wurde von ihrem Nachdenken über Positionen jüdischen Selbstverständnisses in der Moderne und über die Geschichte der Juden seit der Aufklärung.Eine besondere Bedeutung erwächst diesen Essays über die jeweilige Einzelanalyse hinaus auch vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Publikationsgeschichte: Die Sammlung geht zum größeren Teil zurück auf die erste Buchveröffentlichung Hannah Arendts im Nachkriegsdeutschland, Sechs Essays (1948). So steht dieser Essayband auch für Hannah Arendts Entscheidung, aus dezidiert jüdischer Perspektive zu der nach 1945 in Deutschland beginnenden Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit beizutragen.Hannah Arendt, geboren 1906, emigrierte aus dem NS-Deutschland über Frankreich in die USA. Dort lebte und lehrte sie bis zu ihrem Tod 1975. Bekannt wurde die politische Philosophin u.a. durch ihre Werke Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft (1951; dt. 1955) und Eichmann in Jerusalem. Ein Bericht von der Banalität des Bösen (1963; dt. 1964).

Chris McGunnigle, "Disability and the Academic Job Market "
English | ISBN: 1648894194 | 2022 | 312 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Disability and the Academic Job Market examines ableist structures in academia that inherently create obstacles to full-time employment for people with a disability. Based on historical and contemporary scholarship, it has been shown how disclosure of a disability can have profound repercussions for a scholar with a disability. Scholars with a disability are often inhibited from applying to or being promoted in academia because of direct discrimination, negative perception towards people with a disability, inaccessible physical and performance conditions, and social models of disability that characterize disability as unproductive, abnormal, and risky. While scholarship has addressed ableism in academia, it has not strongly focused on the specific difficulties and barriers that a person with a disability faces when applying for a full-time academic position. This book seeks to provide a resource that brings to light ableist conditions in the academic hiring process through the lived experiences of scholars with a disability, with hope to implement change in these situations.

English | ISBN: 1540230260 | 2011 | 234 pages | EPUB | 1068 KB
Harriet Hubbard Ayer moved to New York City by 1883 and established Recamier Preparations, Inc., the earliest cosmetic company owned and operated by a woman. First with her creams and balms and then with her words about women's health and beauty, she influenced several generations of women to look and feel good about themselves. The jealous and vindictive men in her life punished her for her ambition, accomplishments and independence by attempting to s†éál her lucrative business and seize her children. After she successfully sued them, they had her committed to an insane asylum. Indomitable, this former Chicago socialite reinvented herself as the highest ρáíd newspaperwoman in the United States, editing the women's pages of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Her incredible story is presented here as never before.

Diversity as Strategic Opportunity (Ethics in Practice) by Anna Simonati
English | March 1, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CXJ5GMRH | 457 pages | EPUB | 1.11 Mb
The principle of equality has always been considered as one of the fundamental values of modern societies; it compels administration to provide equal treatment to all subjects it enters in touch with, which is normally E×ρréššed as a general prohibition of discrimination. However, in recent times, the idea, according to which equality is not based only on protection against discrimination but also on promotion of diversity as a source of richness for society, is widely shared. This book gives a multidisciplinary overview of some of the possible methods and tools which are nowadays experimented by administration, in order to properly face the practical problems connected to diversity.

ENDORSEMENTS:
"In this volume, Professor Anna Simonati has gathered a wide range of contributions which reflect on the nature of diversity, and its value in society today. Power structures are sticky. This volume reminds us that concepts as old as equality and equity, do not always manifest in ways that create diversity in these structures. The case studies within demonstrate that diversity will lead to empowerment - in other words, shifting the inherent power structures and opening opportunities for all. It is important for democracies to rebalance power structures, and deliberate administrative policies and practices aimed at diversity - as exemplified here - can make real differences for people. Critically, the volume also addresses diversity in education. Preparing the next generation for a world where diversity is a given, rather than a struggle is a worthy goal. This volume provides pathways for policy makers and those who deliver policy with a view to achieving this goal." - Adam Masters, The Australian National University
"The book makes a substantive contribution to our understanding and appreciation of how diversity can and ought to be seen not only as something to be protected by means of non-discrimination rules and mechanisms, but also and indeed primarily as a major source of development and improvement for public administration and the public services. Diversity is indeed a strategic opportunity, and this collective work developed under the leadership of Professor Anna Simonati shows us why and how to make the most of such strategic opportunities for public organizations worldwide." - Edoardo Ongaro, The Open University
"This Book is really precious because in its comparative approach, takes into account the legal provisions of many national Jurisdictions and the experience of many public Administrations all over the World. The Values of Diversity and Inclusion thus are considered non-only as general principles of Law, but in their action vis a vis the duty of Administrations to provide equal treatment to all subjects they enter in touch with. The aim of the Volume, as Anna Simonati explains, is not aimed at offering final and definite answers, nor a systemic study of the subject, but to address the various possible causes of discrimination and most importantly the possible remedies against it with a Case oriented Analysis. This collective work therefore it is extremely valuable to underline how the Public Policies and the Administrative Law tools can be fundamental -in many different ways- for the never ending struggle towards Equality and Justice." - Aristide Police, LUISS University

Dot-Dash to Dot.Com: How Modern Telecommunications Evolved from the Telegraph to the Internet by Andrew Wheen
English | PDF | 2011 | 312 Pages | ISBN : 1441967591 | 136.09 MB
The profusion of websites and applications that characterise the modern Internet may seem a far cry from the primitive telegraph system of the late 1830s. There is, however, a direct link. The invention of the electric telegraph paved the way for telephone networks which, in turn, laid the foundations for today's Internet. In less than 170 years, simple arrangements of magnets, switches and cables evolved to become the largest and most complex machine in the world.

How did this happen? What were the inventions that shaped modern communications? Who were the key players in this amazing story? How does the Internet work? And what is coming next? This fascinating and long-overdue book answers these and many other questions, bringing to life the characters, the times they live in, and the technological revolution that they brought about. Dot-Dash to Dot.com: - describes some truly heroic feats of 19th century engineering, and the impact that the first telecommunication systems had on the Victorian world; - reveals how the success of the electric telegraph led to the development of the telephone and the fax machine; - explores the early experiments that led to the Internet and the World Wide Web; - explains how networks work - and why they sometimes don't; - chronicles the phenomenal growth of mobile networks; - describes how the digital revolution is driving the introduction of "next generation networks;" - examines the extraordinary growth in network applications; and - introduces a number of larger-than-life characters, whose inventive genius and entrepreneurial flair left an indelible mark on the modern world.

Anne Ross, "Druids: Preachers of Immortality "
English | ISBN: 0752425765 | 2004 | 272 pages | EPUB | 324 KB
Druidism was the religion of the Celts and the Druids themselves were all-powerful, taking precedence over the Celtic kings. Over and above the evidence of classical texts and of archaeology, the richest source of information about the Druids is the vernacular material from Ireland and Wales. It is the author's unparalleled familiarity with the Gaelic texts, and her ability to see Druidism through Celtic eyes, that marks out this study from earlier books and strips away modern myths about the Druids.

Eclipse: A Novel by Keiichiro Hirano, translated by Charles De Wolf, Brent de Chene
English | November 12, 2024 | ISBN: 0231214901 | True EPUB | 152 pages | 0.5 MB
In the late fifteenth century, a young Dominican friar sets out on a journey from Paris to Florence in search of manuscripts of pre-Christian philosophy. Along the way, he encounters an ascetic alchemist in a small village. As the young man falls under the spell of the alchemist's quest for enlightenment, a series of disasters―culminating in a total solar eclipse―strikes the village, with profound consequences.

Keiichiro Hirano's Eclipse was a meteoric literary sensation when it first appeared in 1998. Its author, still an undergraduate, was hailed as a prodigy; the book received Japan's most prestigious literary award, the Akutagawa Prize, and became a bestseller. Set on the eve of the Renaissance in Europe, Eclipse depicts a society that is on the surface vastly different from modern-day Japan. Yet its account of a challenge to dualistic binaries and ossified worldviews holds striking contemporary resonance and philosophical depth. Taking the form of a memoir, Eclipse brings together an evocative portrayal of its historical setting, including the lore of medieval alchemy, with a rich literary lexicon, lush imagery, and psychological intricacy. This vivid translation offers Anglophone readers a vital work by one of Japan's most distinctive voices.

Einführung in die Systemtheorie des Konflikts von Fritz B. Simon
Deutsch | 10. Januar 2022 | ISBN: 3896707469 | True EPUB | 126 Seiten | 1 MB
Was sind Konflikte? Die Definition ist schwieriger, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint, bereits die Lektüre der Tageszeitung eröffnet eine Vielzahl von Antworten auf diese Frage. So findet man den Konfliktbegriff in Bezug auf Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Nationen oder Völkergruppen in Form von Kriegen, Verhandlungen oder militärischer Abschreckung mit einer oft jahrzehntelangen Dauer. Als Konflikte gelten aber auch Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Personengruppen, zum Beispiel der Streit zwischen Arbeitgebern und Gewerkschaften bei Tarifverhandlungen. Systemtheoretisch betrachtet, ist ein Konflikt nichts anderes als eine bestimmte Art der Kommunikation, die sich als ein eigenes System etabliert hat.

Fritz B. Simon stellt in dieser Einführung Konflikte aller Art aus systemtheoretischer Sicht dar. Er versucht dabei, die Logik anschaulich zu machen, der psychische und soziale Prozesse in Konflikten folgen. Die Frage nach den Ursachen, Funktionen und Regelungsmöglichkeiten von Konflikten hilft nicht nur bei der Systematisierung: Wer an einem Konflikt beteiligt ist, kann daraus eine Idee seines Handelns bzw. Nichthandelns entwickeln. Für außenstehende Berater oder Schlichter werden Konflikte durchschaubarer und leichter lösbar. Ziel der Einführung ist es, für beide Gruppen Handlungsanweisungen und Ratschläge zu entwickeln, wie Konflikte bewältigt werden können.

Electron Localization-Delocalization Matrices (Lecture Notes in Chemistry) by Chérif F. Matta, Paul W. Ayers, Ronald Cook
English | May 3, 2024 | ISBN: 3031514327 | 241 pages | MOBI | 22 Mb
This book builds bridges between two yet separated branches of theoretical and mathematical chemistry: Chemical Graph Theory and Electronic Structure Calculations. Although either of the fields have developed their own techniques, problems, methods, and favorite benchmark cases independent from each other, the authors have managed to bring them together by using the localization-delocalization matrix (LDM). The LDM is a novel molecular descriptor that fingerprints a molecule by condensing the complicated electronic information in one, mathematically manageable, object. In this book, the authors introduce the readers to modeling techniques based on LDMs. Their technique offers a high accuracy as well as robust predictive power, often dramatically surpassing the potential of either of the constituting methods on their own. In addition to the comprehensive and accessible introduction to this new field of theoretical chemistry, the authors offer their self-developed software free to download, so that readers can try running their own simulations. The described methods are very general and can easily be implemented for calculating various properties and parameters such as mosquito repelling activity, ionic liquid properties, local aromaticity of ring molecules, log P's, pKa's, LD50, corrosion inhibition activities, and Lewis acidities and basicities - to only name a few. The free downloadable software helps readers automate the analysis of the matrices described in this book and hence facilitates application of the described methodology.

Empire and Identity: An Eighteenth-Century Sourcebook By Stephen H. Gregg
2005 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 1403921415 | PDF | 23 MB
This anthology of primary material brings together literary and non-literary texts from the 18th century focusing on issues including commerce and colonialism. Britons' sense of identity in the 18th century see-sawed between embattled vulnerability and unassailable supremacy. Empire was crucial in shaping this, but contact with other peoples often threw into sharp relief or transformed this sense of identity. This book will be an essential resource for those studying this period; it traces these shifts in mood and the impact of imperial encounters in a variety of material, including poems, plays, speeches, letters, and accounts of travel, exploration and captivity.

Gonzalo Delamaza, "Enhancing Democracy: Public Policies and Citizen Participation in Chile "
English | ISBN: 1782385460 | 2014 | 308 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Since the end of the Pinochet regime, Chilean public policy has sought to rebuild democratic governance in the country. This book examines the links between the state and civil society in Chile and the ways social policies have sought to ensure the inclusion of the poor in society and democracy. Although Chile has gained political stability and grown economically, the ability of social policies to expand democratic governance and participation has proved limited, and in fact such policies have become subordinate to an elitist model of democracy and resulted in a restrictive form of citizen participation.

Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization By Robert Zubrin
2000 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1585420360 | PDF | 69 MB
"Robert Zubrin is a true engineering genius like the heroic engineers of the past." Frederick Turner, American EnterpriseUsing nuts-and-bolts engineering and a unique grasp of human history, Robert Zubrin takes us to the not-very-distant future, when our global society will branch out into the universe. From the current-day prospect of lunar bases and Mars settlements to the outer reaches of other galaxies, Zubrin delivers the most important and forward-looking work on space and the true possibilities of human exploration since Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Sagan himself said of Zubrin's humans-to-Mars plan, "Bob Zubrin really, nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue." With Entering Space, he takes us further, into the prospect of human expansion to the outer planets of our own solar system and beyond.

Epictetus and Laypeople: A Stoic Stance toward Non-Stoics By Erlend D. MacGillivray
2020 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 1793618232 | PDF | 2 MB
Erlend D. MacGillivray's Epictetus and Laypeople: A Stoic Stance toward the Rest of Humanity explores the understanding that ancient philosophers had towards the vast majority of people at the time, those who had no philosophical knowledge or adherence-laypeople. After exploring how philosophical identity was established in antiquity, this book examines the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who reflected upon laypeople with remarkable frequency. MacGillivray shows that Epictetus maintained his stance that a small and distinguishable group of philosophically aware individuals existed, alongside his conviction that most of humanity can be inclined to act in accordance with virtuous principles by their dependence upon preconceptions, civic law, popular religion, exempla, and the adoption of primitive conditions, among other means. This book also highlights other Stoics and their commentators to show that the means of lay reform that MacGillivray explores were not just implicitly understood in antiquity, but reveal a well-developed system of thought in the school which has, until now, evaded the notice of modern scholars.

Detail & Scale produced its first book on the F-8 Crusader in 1988, and it was one of the most successful titles in the Detail & Scale Series. This new work, F-8 & RF-8 Crusader in Detail & Scale, brings our original work forward 31 years, enriched with much new content, more photos, mostly in color, and the addition of dozens of illustrations and full-color profiles. The photographic collections of some of the very best aviation photographers have been opened to Detail & Scale, and several recognized experts have also contributed to this new book, resulting in a new, more comprehensive, and much larger publication on the Crusader.
The book begins with a comprehensive developmental and operational history of the Crusader, a jet fighter that achieved a number of firsts and went a long way towards bringing Naval carrier-based fighters to a level equal to and, in some cases, surpassing that of land-based fighters. This is followed by a chapter covering every variant of the Crusader produced for the U. S. Navy and Marines, from the prototypes, all of the F-8A/B/C/D/E variants and their upgraded versions after the remanufacture program, the two-seat TF-8A, both the original and remanufactured versions of the RF-8 photo-reconnaissance variant, and the XF8U-3 prototype, often considered the best aircraft ever canceled. Chapters on the F-8s used by NASA in advanced flight research and the Crusaders used by the French Navy and the Philippine Air Force follow.
An area of wholly new content is contained in a chapter on the Crusader in the Vietnam War. A summary of how the Navy and Marines used the F-8 and RF-8 in Vietnam is provided, including a listing of every fighter squadron that flew the Crusader in combat. A comprehensive table lists all of the F-8 carrier deployments carried out by the Navy fighter squadrons as well as the Marine squadrons that flew out of Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam. The chapter concludes with color photographs and full-color profiles of all nineteen F-8s responsible for the confirmed destruction of MiGs in air combat.
A comprehensive chapter on Crusader Details, long the hallmark of the Detail & Scale brand, follows. This chapter contains nine sections covering the cockpit, windscreen and canopy, fuselage, landing gear, wings, tail, engine, armament, and ECM equipment details. Complete coverage of almost every square inch of the various variants of the Crusader is provided through 141 high-resolution photographs and illustrations (127 in full color).
As with all Detail & Scale books, the final chapter covers the scale models of the Crusader, from the early kits that are now only collector's items, to the gamut of kits that have been available for the past half-century. The standard modeling scales of 1/144th, 1/72nd, 1/48th, and 1/32nd are treated as separate sections and the available models in are reviewed.
F-8 & RF-8 Crusader in Detail & Scale is an extensively detailed look at the F-8 Crusader, with more color photos of this iconic Navy fighter than any other book ever published. This digital version features 110 pages, 259 high resolution photographs (239 in color), 25 full color profiles and 19 Illustrations.

FDR and High Treason at Pearl Harbor: Roosevelt's ******* by Charles Sprinkles, Nhan Thanh Thi Nguyen Sprinkles
English | July 25, 2024 | ISBN: 1399050877 | 240 pages | PDF | 6.12 Mb
Recently declassified documents argue that President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor before it happened.

Pearl Harbor is a fallacy that needs to be corrected. American's have been taught in schools that this was a surprise/sneak attack by the Imperial Japanese government on the United States Navy and Army at Pearl Harbor; nothing could be further from the truth. FDR help orchestrate and instigate the attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
There was more than enough information that passed before FDR eyes from 1933 to 1941 that showed that Japan was going to attack the United States in Hawaii and just how weak the United States defenses were at Pearl Harbor.
Important information was ignored such as the war games at Pearl Harbor in 1932 and 38, the book "Winged Defense" by General William Mitchell in 1925, exam question for cadets to graduate the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy "How would you conduct a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor," which FDR knew about, the Panay Incident and the Nan King Massacre, all the intercepted codes that said Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor and yet FDR did nothing to stop Japan.
After the war there was an investigation into the attack on Pearl Harbor, however all the information had been classified and could not be released to investigate in the late 1940's. This is not the case today.

Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions By Leone Gazziero
2024 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 2503608191 | PDF | 3 MB
Bad arguments have never been in short supply. The scholarly interest they have elicited in recent years, on the other hand, is quite exceptional. Fallacy studies have become a well established and flourishing field of argumentation theory. Without notable exception, the ever-growing literature on argumentative failures suffer from a conspicuous lack of interest in Mediaeval fallacy theory - arguably the most creative stage in the whole history of argumentation theories. The standard story is that after Aristotle got off to a tentative start, the study of fallacies laid dormant until people at Port Royal and John Locke revived it in spectacular fashion.Fallacies in the Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Latin Traditions will show that this narrative is misleading, if not altogether false. Free of boundaries or limitations imposed by differences in discipline, language and culture, the volume will provide ample and unambiguous record of the exegetical proficiency, technical expertise and argumentative savoir-faire typically displayed by mediaeval logicians jurists and theologians on issues whose complexity we underestimate to some extent - such as the problem of defining what a fallacy is or the pitfalls of linguistic E×ρréššion. Working its way from the inside out within each mediaeval tradition and comparing mediaeval findings and lessons to contemporary views and trends, the volume will show where the potential for novelty and the rightful place of mediaeval theories of fallacies lies within contemporary argumentation studies.

Father Nature: The Science of Paternal Potential by James K. Rilling
English | October 1, 2024 | ISBN: 0262048930 | 392 pages | PDF | 4.68 Mb
How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers-and why some are more involved than others.

We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring-and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers. How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans.
Paternal caregiving is advantageous to children and, by extension, to society at large, yet variable both across and within human societies. Rilling considers how to explain this variability and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement. Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children's development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and finally, what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and "younger" brains.
A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much-needed-and deeply rewarding-look at the science behind "good" paternal behavior in humans.

Fatih Akin's Cinema and the New Sound of Europe By Berna Gueneli
2019 | 222 Pages | ISBN: 0253037883 | PDF | 13 MB
In Fatih Akın's Cinema and the New Sound of Europe, Berna Gueneli explores the transnational works of acclaimed Turkish-German filmmaker and auteur Fatih Akın. The first minority director in Germany to receive numerous national and international awards, Akın makes films that are informed by Europe's past, provide cinematic imaginations about its present and future, and engage with public discourses on minorities and migration in Europe through his treatment and representation of a diverse, multiethnic, and multilingual European citizenry. Through detailed analyses of some of Akın's key works―In July, Head-On, and The Edge of Heaven, among others―Gueneli identifies Akın's unique stylistic use of multivalent sonic and visual components and multinational characters. She argues that the soundscapes of Akın's films―including music and multiple languages, dialects, and accents―create an "aesthetic of heterogeneity" that envisions an expanded and integrated Europe and highlights the political nature of Akın's decisions regarding casting, settings, and audio. At a time when belonging and identity in Europe is complicated by questions of race, ethnicity, religion, and citizenship, Gueneli demonstrates how Akın's aesthetics intersect with politics to reshape notions of Europe, European cinema, and cinematic history.

Feminism and the Creation of a Female Aristocracy By Peter Wright
2018 | 132 Pages | ISBN: 1980249113 | EPUB | 1 MB
Modeled on the principles of feudal society, the feminist enterprise of designing male and female social classes has been several centuries in the making. Well before Marx and Marxism the feminist tradition was orchestrating its own version of the long march through the institutions of society, agitating for social and legal changes that would ultimately free women of most responsibilities while leaving men's responsibilities unchanged or increased.Peter Wright explores the nature of political feminism and the rhetorical devices that have proven so decisive for the success of the movement. Among those tactics are appeals to women's biological vulnerabilities and the necessity of male chivalry to secure women's protections and rise in status.

Finding Order in Nature: The Naturalist Tradition from Linnaeus to E. O. Wilson (Johns Hopkins Introductory Studies in the History of Science) by Paul Lawrence Farber
English | June 6, 2000 | ISBN: 0801863899, 0801863902 | True EPUB | 152 pages | 2.5 MB
Since emerging as a discipline in the middle of the eighteenth century, natural history has been at the heart of the life sciences. It gave rise to the major organizing theory of life-evolution-and continues to be a vital science with impressive practical value. Central to advanced work in ecology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental science, natural history also attracts enormous popular interest.

In Finding Order in Nature Paul Farber traces the development of the naturalist tradition since the Enlightenment and considers its relationship to other research areas in the life sciences. Written for the general reader and student alike, the volume explores the adventures of early naturalists, the ideas that lay behind classification systems, the development of museums and zoos, and the range of motives that led collectors to collect. Farber also explores the importance of sociocultural contexts, institutional settings, and government funding in the story of this durable discipline.
"The quest for insight into the order of nature leads naturalists beyond classification to the creation of general theories that explain the living world. Those naturalists who focus on the order of nature inquire about the ecological relationships among organisms and also among organisms and their surrounding environments. They ask fundamental questions of evolution, about how change actually occurs over short and long periods of time. Many naturalists are drawn, consequently, to deeper philosophical and ethical issues: What is the extent of our ability to understand nature? And, understanding nature, will we be able to preserve it? Naturalists question the meaning of the order they discover and ponder our moral responsibility for it."-from the Introduction

A collection of stories from Ukrainians defending their country, revealing the human face of war.
The stories of Ukrainians who stood up to defend their country during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some of the storytellers had never held a weapon before the full-scale invasion, while for others it was a profession.
These stories are not just about war, but about who they are besides being ordinary people, students, workers, priests, teachers and doctors, professors, managers, actors, artists and musicians, pensioners, parents, and children, and so on.
In addition to the reconstruction of events, here is also the comprehension of events by the people who are active creators of the history. They talk about the biggest terrorist attacks not only as military men, but also as ordinary people with their own experiences. The narrators talk about different periods of the war in different cities and have different views of what is happening. Their views combine to create a picture of the war's world and the image of a human who stood up to defend his country during the bloodiest war of our time.

The principal aim is to provide practitioners with detailed information and guidance on how microscopy can help to clarify the cause of sudden and unexpected death.

Therefore additional and particularly rare histopathological findings are presented. Many of the topics will be of interest not only to forensic pathologists but also to general pathologists, whether practitioners or researchers. Examples include the pathology of drug abuse, wound age determination, adverse drug reactions, histopathology of the sudden infant death syndrome, and age determination of myocardial infarction. Both typical and unusual findings are demonstrated with the aid of numerous high-quality color illustrations, and other key literature in forensic histology and immunohistochemistry is highlighted for each topic.

Few New Yorkers remember the night when firemen, in tuxedos and top hats, were dragged from a ball to extinguish a Waterloo blaze, or the typographical error that reported Theodore Roosevelt taking a "bath"' instead of his presidential "oath."' Still fewer remember Cephas Bennett, a missionary from Utica and printer of the first Burmese Bible, or H.L. Mencken's humorous article on the history of the bathtub, still quoted today as factual although entirely invented. Seasoned storyteller Melanie Zimmer seamlessly weaves together these hard-to-believe, yet entirely true, tales. From the monster of Seneca Lake to the man who inspired the American icon Uncle Sam, discover the lost secrets of the Empire State.

Form, Space and Design: From the Persian to the European Experience by Mahmoud Tavassoli
English | EPUB | 2020 | 148 Pages | ISBN : 3030158306 | 147.3 MB
This book studies the principles of urban spatial organization of historic cities. It can be considered a guide to design, presenting qualitative criteria to satisfy practical needs. The subject is explored through interconnected chapters, each addressing an important aspect of form-space and design values, knowledge and our present problems.

In this book the interpretation is artistic and socio-cultural. Discussion is not concentrated on singular urban space but on interrelated spaces and elements across the city, and complexes. Considering the comparative aspects of study, the reader will notice that despite cultural differences, there is a common understanding in artistic creativity and sensibility in the presented examples.

Four Points of the Compass: The Unexpected History of Direction (UK Edition) by Jerry Brotton
English | 5 Sept. 2024 | ISBN: 0241556872 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 15.1 MB
A sparkling exploration of direction, by the acclaimed author of A History of the World in 12 Maps

North, south, east and west: almost all societies use the four cardinal directions to orientate themselves, to understand who they are by projecting where they are. For millennia, these four directions have been foundational to our travel, navigation and exploration and are central to the imaginative, moral and political geography of virtually every culture in the world. Yet they are far more subjective and various - sometimes contradictory - than we might realize.
The Four Points of the Compass takes the reader on a journey of directional discovery. Jerry Brotton reveals why Hebrew culture privileges east; why Renaissance Europeans began drawing north at the top of their maps; why the early Islam revered the south; why the Aztecs used five colour-coded cardinal directions; and why no societies, primitive or modern, have ever orientated themselves westwards. He ends by reflecting on our digital age in which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most important compass point. Throughout, Brotton shows that the directions reflect a human desire to create order and that they only have meaning, literally and metaphorically, depending on where you stand.

Freedom Was in Sight: A Graphic History of Reconstruction in the Washington, D.C., Region (A Ferris and Ferris Book) by Kate Masur, Elizabeth Clarke
English | October 1, 2024 | ISBN: 1469680181 | 192 pages | PDF | 46 Mb
The Reconstruction era was born from the tumult and violence of the Civil War and delivered the most powerful changes the United States had seen since its founding. Black Americans in Washington, D.C., and its surrounding region were at the heart of these transformations, bravely working to reunite their families, build their communities, and claim rights long denied them. Meanwhile, in the capital, government leaders struggled to reunite and remake the nation. Famous individuals such as Frederick Douglass and Ida B. Wells played central roles, as did lesser-known figures like Emma Brown, the first African American teacher in Washington's public schools, and lawyer-journalist William Calvin Chase, longtime editor of the Washington Bee.

Freedom Was in Sight! draws on the words and experiences of people who lived during Reconstruction, powerfully narrating how the impacts of emancipation and civil war rippled outward for decades. Vividly drawn by award-winning graphic artist Liz Clarke and written by Pulitzer Prize-finalist Kate Masur, a leading historian of Reconstruction, this rich graphic history reveals the hopes and betrayals of a critical period in American history.

From Sovereign to Symbol: An Age of Ritual Determinism in Fourteenth Century Japan By Thomas Donald Conlan
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0199778108 | PDF | 4 MB
Fourteenth-century Japan witnessed a fundamental political and intellectual conflict about the nature of power and society, a conflict that was E×ρréššed through the rituals and institutions of two rival courts. Rather than understanding the collapse of Japan's first warrior government (the Kamakura bakufu) and the onset of a chaotic period of civil war as the manipulation of rival courts by powerful warrior factions, this study argues that the crucial ideological and intellectual conflict of the fourteenth century was between the conservative forces of ritual precedent and the ritual determinists steeped in Shingon Buddhism.Members of the monastic nobility who came to dominate the court used the language of Buddhist ritual, including incantations (mantras), gestures (mudras), and "cosmograms" (mandalas projected onto the geography of Japan) to uphold their bids for power. Sacred places that were ritual centers became the targets of military capture precisely because they were ritual centers. Ritual was not simply symbolic; rather, ritual became the orchestration, or actual dynamic, of power in itself.This study undermines the conventional wisdom that Zen ideals linked to the samurai were responsible for the manner in which power was conceptualized in medieval Japan, and instead argues that Shingon ritual specialists prolonged the conflict and enforced the new notion that loyal service trumped the merit of those who simply requested compensation for their acts. Ultimately, Shingon mimetic ideals enhanced warrior power and enabled Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, rather than the reigning emperor, to assert sovereign authority in Japan.

Geometrie der Seele: Wie unbewusste Muster das Drehbuch unseres Lebens bestimmen (Edition Psychologie) von Christian Schubert
Deutsch | 4. Mai 2023 | ISBN: 3833888318 | True EPUB | 208 Seiten | 6.5 MB
Die Natur ist in vielfältigsten, schillernden Mustern organisiert, und wie die Forschung heute weiß, ordnet sich auch die Seele nach ganz ähnlichen Prinzipien. In das große, gleichsam geometrische Muster unseres Seins sind all unsere inneren und äußeren Regungen eingewoben - bewusst wie unbewusst, individuell wie familiär und gesellschaftlich. Die Einsicht, dass wir in Denk-, Fühl- und Verhaltensweisen einem „fraktalen Plan" folgen, entlastet nicht nur, sondern eröffnet auch neue Wege zur Heilung.

Der bekannte Psychoneuroimmunologe und Psychotherapeut Christian Schubert stellt die bisher kaum verbreiteten wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen vor und belegt die daraus resultierenden Heilungsansätze mit Fallgeschichten aus seiner Praxis.

Barry & Emily J. McCarthy, "Getting It Right the First Time"
English | 2004 | pages: 160 | ISBN: 0415948290, 1138173363 | PDF | 0,7 mb
A healthy marriage is the result of much more than a stroke of good fortune, the accidental meeting of two "soul mates," or a conscious commitment to stay together no matter what. Studies have found that romantic, passionate love is often just a memory by the wedding, or within the first year of marriage. Creating an intimate, satisfying, and stable marriage is by no means easy or guaranteed-it requires thought, communication, planning, and true commitment to each other (though luck and compatibility never hurt). The window of opportunity in which to build the foundation for such a relationship is narrow, and does not often last too long after the first two years of a marriage.

Getting it Right theFirst Time provides the information every couple needs to know to understand what really makes a marriage work. Husband and wife team, Barry and Emily McCarthy share clear, helpful guidelines for creating a healthy marriage and reveal the strategies, skills, and attitudes that can help prevent disappointment, resentment, and alienation from entering the relationship.
Ask any happily married couple whether the time and effort spent in creating a healthy marriage has been worth it, and you should get a universal answer. Getting it Right the FirstTime can make getting there a little easier.

Monica B. Morris, "Goodnight Children, Everywhere: Voices of Evacuees"
English | ISBN: 0752452827 | 2010 | 128 pages | EPUB | 804 KB
At the outset of World War II the British government enacted Operation Pied Piper, during which many British children were torn from their families, taken miles from home and placed with strangers. In this poignant account, the men and women who were children at the time recall being labelled, lined up, and taken away. Their parents, urged by the government not to see their children off on the buses and trains, had no assurance that they would ever see their sons and daughters again. Though no lives were lost and no one was injured, the psychological wellbeing of these suddenly dislocated children was rarely intact. While some children were advantaged by the dramatic change in their lives, othersseparated from all they knew and lovedsuffered unendurable heartbreak.

Rajiv K. Sinha, "Green Plants and Pollution: Nature's Technology for Abating and Combating Environmental Pollution "
English | ISBN: 1616681470 | 2010 | 63 pages | PDF | 1422 KB
Green plants work as a 'natural pollutant sink' on earth intercepting dust and pollutants from air and water. During photosynthesis, plants absorb CO2 and simultaneously other gases like oxides of sulphur & nitrogen (SO2 & NOx), ozone (O) and airborne ammonia (NH3) through their stomata. Plants also reduce air pollution by intercepting suspended particulate matters (SPM) and aerosols and retaining them on the leaf surface. Trees take up more pollutants including the particulate pollutants (PM10), than shorter vegetation. This book presents new and significant research in the role of plants in protecting the environment.

On May 8, 1945 the shooting ended in Europe. But, shockingly, the war against Germany went on. Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill had decreed that the German people must suffer-and suffer they did. Driven from their homes, looted of their property, decimated by famine and disease, raped, robbed, and enslaved, millions of Germans-most of them women and children-bore the brunt of what Time magazine called "history's most terrifying peace". Gruesome Harvest was one of the first books in America to sound the alarm against the victor's postwar war against the Germans. Bristling with contemporary documentation, burning with humanitarian and patriotic outrage, this informed, riveting classic dares to tell the shameful story of how American and Allied policy makers undertook the political, economic, and social destruction of the German people even as they presumed to instruct them in "justice" and "democracy."

Harry H. Corbett rose from the slums of Manchester to become one of the best-known television stars of the 20th century. Having left home as a 17-year-old Royal Marine during the Second World War, he fought in the North Atlantic and the jungles of the Pacific and witnessed first-hand the devastation wrought by the Hiroshima bomb. On his return home he wandered into the local theatre company and landed a starring role - The Front Legs of the Cow. Soon becoming a leading light in Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and a widely-respected classical stage actor, his life was changed forever by the television comedy Steptoe and Son. Overnight he became a household name as the series drew unparalleled viewing figures of over 28 million, with fans ranging from the working classes to the Royal Family.Naturally shy and a committed socialist, fame and fortune didn't sit easily on his shoulders, and for the next twenty years, until his untimely death at the age of only 57, he had to learn how to be ''Arold'. Written by his daughter, Susannah Corbett, an actor herself, this is the first biography of Harry H. Corbett, the man who was once described as being 'the English Marlon Brando'.

In his classic "to-the-point" style, Harvey casts light upon the keystone concepts in the most foundational areas of business. The format of the book is delightful and engaging, with each section composed of an alphabetical list, encapsulating all of the most pertinent knowledge for readers. Each list mirrors Harvey's own meticulous level of organization that he brings to his businesses, speaking and writing careers, and his widespread community involvement.
The ABCs of Business Success strikes a fine balance of both humor and seriousness, marrying something as light-hearted as the humble alphabet with advanced entrepreneurial concepts. With an extensive and nuanced career, Harvey has no shortage of experience to share with his readers to give them an edge over the competition.
Putting the alphabet on center stage, this book elevates new students as well as seasoned pros to their maximum performance. If you thought that the ABCs would only be relevant in kindergarten, Harvey is here to take you back to school!

Health and Slavery: A Healthcare Provider's Guide to Modern Day Slavery and Human Trafficking by Alison Fiander, Jane Lasonder
English | April 27, 2024 | ISBN: 3031483189 | 284 pages | MOBI | 4.97 Mb
Aimed at Healthcare Professionals (doctors, nurses, allied professionals) and healthcare students, to raise awareness, recognition and guidance on what to do in the face of suspected Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking (MSHT).

This textbook includes consideration of the size of the problem, MSHT indicators, important communication skills, the reporting of suspected cases and organisations working in the field.
The majority of victims of MSHT come into contact with healthcare professionals (HCPs) at some point in their journey but HCPs report feeling ill equipped to recognise or manage a potential victim, (90% of victims of MSHT come into contact with a HCP but only 10% of HCPs know how to recognise victims and what to do). As such this topic should be represented in undergraduate and post graduate curricula.
This textbook deals with the identification and appropriate management of suspected cases. It has been edited by Prof Alison Fiander and Ms Jane Lasonder and written by Healthcare professionals, Medical Students from the School of Medicine, Cardiff University as part of a Student Selected Component, Survivors of MSHT, and organisations working in the Human Trafficking field, including the UN.

William S. Copley, "Heart Disease in Children "
English | ISBN: 1607415046 | 2009 | 225 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Up to one-third of American children have high cholesterol. Compared with their counterparts in many other countries, American children and adolescents also have higher blood cholesterol levels and higher intakes of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. There is also evidence now that atherosclerosis, a build up of plaque in the arteries, starts in childhood. However, most of the risk factors that affect children can be controlled early in life, lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. This book examines new developments in the field. Included is a review on neurologic abnormalities associated with con******* heart disease (CHD), the diagnosis and management of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), one of the most common cardiovascular abnormalities in preterm neonates and an analysis of foetal cardiac rhythm. Also looked at are therapeutic options for children who suffer from con******* long QT syndrome (CLQTS) and myocarditis, which could be a cause of sudden death in infants, children and adolescents. This book also further explores narcotising enterocolitis (NEC), the most common gastrointestinal disease in infancy and the correlation between children with Down syndrome and con******* heart disease.

Hegel's Logic: Between Dialectic and History By Clark Butler
2011 | 349 Pages | ISBN: 0810128063 | PDF | 25 MB
Clark Butler presents an innovative analysis of Hegel's most challenging work in Hegel's Logic-the first major English-language treatment of Hegel's Science of Logic to appear in nearly fifteen years. Although earlier commentators on the Logic have considered standard analytical philosophy-and with it modern logic-in opposition to Hegel. Butler views it as a legitimate approach in terms of which Hegel needs to be understood. This interpretation allows him to address the rigor of Hegel's thought on several levels as at once an exercise in purely conceptual redefinition and a full-bodied work in metaphysical ontology and even theology. The result is an account of the Logic intelligible to analytical philosophers as well as non-specialists.

Enrique Leff, "Heidegger in the Face of the Environmental Question "
English | ISBN: 1032606541 | 2023 | 312 pages | EPUB | 801 KB
This volume engages with the work of Heidegger to argue that the modern environmental crisis is fundamentally a crisis of understanding Life, resulting from the symbolic codification of the world from the Logos of Greek philosophy to the rationality of the modern world and resulting in a metaphysics that privileges ontological thinking on the "question of being" over the environmental question and the concern for the conditions of life.

Exploring the work of the three principal thinkers of the Lebensphilosophie― Bergson, Dilthey, and Husserl―it charts the itinerary of Heidegger's work and exposes its conflicts with the work of Marx, Plessner, Haar, and Derrida. A critical argument against the colonization of the world by Eurocentric reason and for the deconstruction of Capital, Heidegger in the Face of the Environmental Question

Helene Bauer - Intellektuelle, Ökonomin, Austromarxistin: Schriften zur politischen Ökonomie, 1919-1936 By Dunja Larise
2024 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 3991360454 | PDF | 1 MB
Man schreibt das Jahr 1914. Ein ungewöhnlicher Zeitpunkt für eine polnische Jüdin, ihren Ehemann zu verlassen und nach Wien zurückzukehren. Helene Gumplowitz Landau riskiert es aus Leidenschaft für den Sozialismus und aus Liebe zu dem zehn Jahre jüngeren Otto Bauer, dem führenden österreichischen Austromarxisten. Helene Bauer macht sich als Marxistin in Wiener intellektuellen Kreisen der Ersten Republik einen Namen. Sie polemisiert als eine der ersten Ökonominnen gegen die Väter des Neoliberalismus, Ludwig Mises und Friedrich Hayek, ermahnt Otto Neurath über die Mängel einer geldlosen Wirtschaft, tritt gegen den damals einflussreichsten Philosophen Österreichs Ottmar Spann auf und warnt als eine der ersten vor den Gefahren der großen Depression der 1930er als Grundlage für den Aufstieg des Faschismus. Sie stirbt im amerikanischen Exil und wird als Jüdin und Sozialistin in der Zweiten Republik weitgehend vergessen. 100 Jahre später sind ihre Analysen der Krisen aus ihrer Zeit erstaunlich aktuell und bieten Lösungsansätze für unsere Krisen.

Heretical Aesthetics: Pasolini on Painting by Pier Paolo Pasolini, edited and translated by Alessandro Giammei, Ara H. Merjian
English | August 1, 2023 | ISBN: 1804291285 | True EPUB | 224 pages | 4.6 MB
First collection on filmmaker and poet Pasolini's passion for painting

One of Europe's most mythologized Marxist intellectuals of the 20th century, Pier Paolo Pasolini was not only a poet, filmmaker, novelist, and political martyr. He was also a keen critic of painting. An intermittently practicing artist in his own right, Pasolini studied under the distinguished art historian Roberto Longhi, whose lessons marked a life-long affinity for figurative painting and its centrality to a particular cinematic sensibility.
Pasolini set out wilfully to "contaminate" art criticism with semiotics, dialectology, and film theory, penning catalogue essays and exhibition reviews alongside poems, autobiographical meditations, and public lectures on painting. His fiercely idiosyncratic blend of Communism and classicism, localism and civic universalism, iconophilia and aesthetic "heresy," animated and antagonized Cold War culture like few European contemporaries. This book offers numerous texts previously available only in Italian, each accompanied by an editorial note elucidating its place in the tumultuous context of post-war Italian culture.
Prefaced by the renowned art historian T.J. Clark, a historical essay on Pasolini's radical aesthetics anchors the anthology. One hundred years after his birth, Heretical Aesthetics sheds light on one of the most consequential aspects of Pasolini's intellectual life, further illuminating a vast cinematic and poetic corpus along the way.

The British are well-ensconced in Bengal, but not yet an empire. Indian princes pose a danger to the East India Company's plans of commerce and domination. Warren Hastings, the British governor-general, is attempting to consolidate his power in the Company.
Johann Zacharias Kiernander is on a mission to convert heathen souls in a land far from his native Sweden though he is not averse to lining his pockets while doing 'God's work'.
Into this steaming cauldron of skullduggery and intrigue walks James Augustus Hicky, a wild Irishman seeking fame and fortune. Sensing an opportunity, he decides to establish a newspaper, the first of its kind in South Asia. In two short years, his endeavour threatens to lay bare the murky underside of the early British empire. Does it succeed?
This is the story of the forces Hicky came up against, the corrupt authorities determined to stop him and of his resourcefulness. The product of five years of research by Andrew Otis in the archives of India, UK and Germany, Hicky's Bengal Gazette: The Story of India's First Newspaper is an essential and compelling addition to the history of subcontinental journalism.

Hidden in the Heavens: How the Kepler Mission's Quest for New Planets Changed How We View Our Own by Jason Steffen
English | October 29th, 2024 | ISBN: 069124247X | 272 pages | True EPUB | 16.55 MB
An insider's account of the NASA mission that changed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit

Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars-especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars-a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, with properties simultaneously similar to and different from both Earth and Neptune; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction.
It was, Steffen says, the opportunity of a lifetime to work in the most exciting scientific field on the most awe-inspiring mission. He offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA-evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.

Bob Silbernagel, "Historic Adventures on the Colorado Plateau"
English | ISBN: 1540233677 | 2018 | 194 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The Colorado Plateau is home to nearly thirty national parks, monuments and recreational areas. The unique geology, stunning rock formations, powerful rivers and numerous scenic canyons that compose such a striking region also made navigation difficult. Yet daring explorers braved the journey. Rock art and other artifacts are evidence of occupation thousands of years ago. Spanish explorers once trekked across this rugged terrain, seeking information on the native populace, religious converts and trade routes. In the frontier era, a trio of bandits discovered the value of good horses while fleeing for three hundred miles. Nearly a century after the gold rush, uranium fever brought another boom to the rugged reaches of the area in the 1940s. Supported by years of research, Bob Silbernagel traces the Colorado Plateau's intrepid inhabitants throughout history.

Historic Cities in the Face of Disasters: Reconstruction, Recovery and Resilience of Societies by Fatemeh Farnaz Arefian
English | EPUB | 2021 | 659 Pages | ISBN : 3030773558 | 201 MB
This book examines reconstruction and resilience of historic cities and societies from multiple disciplinary and complementary perspectives and, by doing so, it helps researchers and practitioners alike, among them reconstruction managers, urban governance and professionals. The book builds on carefully selected and updated papers accepted for the 2019 Silk Cities international conference on 'reconstruction, recovery and resilience of historic cities and societies', the third Silk Cities conference held in L'Aquila, Italy, 10-12 July 2019, working with University of L'Aquila and UCL.

June Starr, "History and Power in the Study of Law: New Directions in Legal Anthropology "
English | ISBN: 1501728121 | 2018 | 352 pages | PDF | 24 MB
Building on earlier work in the anthropology of law and taking a critical stance toward it, June Starr and Jane F. Collier ask, "Should social anthropologists continue to isolate the 'legal' as a separate field of study?" To answer this question, they confront critics of legal anthropology who suggest that the subfield is dying and advocate a reintegration of legal anthropology into a renewed general anthropology. Chapters by anthropologists, sociologists, and law professors, using anthropological rather than legal methodologies, provide original analyses of particular legal developments. Some contributors adopt an interpretative approach, focusing on law as a system of meaning; others adopt a materialistic approach, analyzing the economic and political forces that historically shaped relations between social groups. Contributors include Said Armir Arjomand, Anton Blok, Bernard Cohn, George Collier, Carol Greenhouse, Sally Falk Moore, Laura Nader, June Nash, Lawrence Rosen, June Starr, and Joan Vincent.

The first English language account of deserters from the German army during World War II The German military executed between 18,000 and 22,000 of its personnel in World War II on the charges of desertion and "undermining the military spirt." This book examines who these Wehrmacht deserters were, why they deserted, what punishment they could expect, and how German military justice operated. The German army was not apolitical, but rather a pillar of the Nazi state. Although much attention has been devoted to officers within the military who resisted Hitler-particularly those associated with the July 1944 attempt on Hitler's life-far less attention has been ρáíd to those who refused military service or deserted during the war. While providing a full account of what constituted desertion, how it was punished, and how many were convicted for the crime, the book makes the Wehrmacht deserter its main subject. It examines their motivations and the paths they took to evade military service, ranging from hiding in the Third Reich, deserting at the front line, or fleeing to neutral Switzerland or Sweden. After the Second World War, Germans began a generation-long debate about the status that should be accorded Wehrmacht deserters. The topic would be debated between the two Germanies and engaged survivors and perpetrators, playwrights, and judges, those who had stayed in the ranks and those who had not. Was the Wehrmacht a coward, a victim, or a role model? The book's discussion of this postwar debate has no equivalent in English, as it explains how and why Germany finally decided to overturn military court-martial verdicts from the Second World War fifty years after its conclusion.

The first section of the book explains the background of the Third Reich in general and medicine during this period in particular. It addresses the situation of female doctors and why there were relatively few of them.

In the land of plenty known for boundless opportunity and unparalleled prosperity, a silent crisis of epic proportions lurks beneath the surface.

Through his first-hand experiences and meticulous research, Nteonwe shatters the myths and misconceptions that have long shrouded the true nature of homelessness, exposing the systemic failures and inequities that have allowed this crisis to escalate.

But this is not merely a tale of despair and hopelessness but a rallying cry for change. Nteonwe offers a bold and comprehensive vision for a more compassionate and equitable future in which the global scourge of homelessness is finally confronted and overcome.

Po-Shek Fu, "Hong Kong Media and Asia's Cold War"
English | ISBN: 0190073772 | 2023 | 256 pages | PDF | 16 MB
Hong Kong Media and Asia's Cold War is the first systematic study of cultural Cold War in Hong Kong. It draws from untapped materials from multiple archives, contemporary sources, and numerous interviews with filmmakers, magazine editors, and student activists. Focusing on the legendary Shaw Brothers Studio, the Asia Foundation-sponsord Asia Pictures, and the widely influential Chinese Students Weekly, it brings to light how Hong Kong became the key battlefield in Asia's cultural Cold War.

Since 1946-1949, with its convenient worldwide transportation and communication networks and huge concentration of emigre intellecuals and film professionals, Hong Kong became a center of fierce competition between Communist China, Nationalist Taiwan, and the United States for the hearts and minds of Chinese diaspora in Souitheast Asia and around the globe. Central to their propaganda and psychological warfares were the Mandarin cinema and emigre-dominated print media. It was no surprise that this period was known as the "golden age" of Mandarin popular culture. The dividing lines among the opposing forces were never clear cut and fraught with ambivalence, in part because of colonial censorship and the complexity pf emigre politics. In the 1970s, coincidented with the normalization of US-China relations, the emergence of a new, local-born generation, who, unlike their parents, saw the British colony as "My City," challenged and reshaped the transnational networks of emigre cultural production into platform for identity construction, contributed to the winding down of the cultural Cold War in Hong Kong.

House Spiders - Worldwide
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031704479 | 351 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 67 MB
To avoid any misunderstandings: this book is not about spiders as pets, but about those spiders that live in our houses and apartments as lodgers. Mostly ignored and sometimes (wrongly) feared, there is hardly a building in the world that does not harbour some species of spider. What is fascinating is that we always find the same species. These spiders must have special adaptations, because the humidity in our homes is far too low, they are too clean, and the food supply is usually scarce. However, those spiders that have made the leap into our four walls are rewarded with a worldwide right to stay. This, in turn, is due to people's eagerness to trade and migrate worldwide: Humans tirelessly transport their belongings and an endless stream of goods around the world in sacks, parcels and containers. And our domestic spiders, as stowaways, travel just as tirelessly and unrecognized. It is therefore possible to present domestic spiders found throughout the world in a single book, as they are essentially the same everywhere. The 50 or so most important species and species groups are presented here in a generally understandable way, with a detailed profile, photos and distribution maps.

Christopher Hilton, "How Hitler Hijacked World Sport: The World Cup, the Olympics, the Heavyweight Championship and the Grand Prix"
English | ISBN: 0752459252 | 2012 | 192 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Adolf Hitler understood the importance of sport, and exercised his malign and dangerous influence to try to co-opt it for the Nazi cause. He intended to own the Olympic movement, housing it permanently in Berlin from 1940 in a stadium seating 450,000 people. His hijack of the 1936 Games remains one of sport's most controversial events, using it as he did to promote Aryan supremacy and showcase the Nazi state. Austria was forced to withdraw from the 1938 football World Cup just days before it started because the country no longer existed. The boxing matches between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling in 1936 and 1938 came to represent democracy versus fascism. German technology crushed all comers in Grand Prix racing, as well as the Isle of Man TT. A government ministry was even set up to use physical fitness to prepare the population for war. Hitler understood that sport has many uses: this is how he used it.

How to Enjoy Architecture: A Guide for Everyone by Charles Holland
English | April 23, 2024 | ISBN: 0300263937 | 192 pages | MOBI | 5.21 Mb
Charles Holland challenges us to look beyond the day-to-day familiarity of buildings to rediscover the pleasure of experiencing architecture

Architecture is bound up with our daily lives but, for most of us, it is experienced as a blur of habit. Our reactions towards the buildings that surround us are often culturally generated, and we experience them in ways that are immediate but often mundane. How to Enjoy Architecture: A Guide for Everyone encourages us to move beyond this and, instead, really look at buildings.
Renowned architect Charles Holland talks about the buildings and architects that excite and inspire him, and the ideas and principles through which we can engage with architecture. By breaking buildings down into categories such as materials, structure, space, and use, Holland guides us through drastically different styles and building types-from the satisfying symmetry of a Queen Anne house to the thrill of a high-tech tower, or the social ideals that lie behind a housing estate. In doing so, he demonstrates how looking at, experiencing, and using architecture can bring joy in itself.
"A book that will enrich any encounter with a building, it made me want to look harder and be more curious. We are led playfully through the fundamentals of architecture so that we might enjoy the details and the poetry of buildings all the more. A walk through the city feels more fun and also more profound after reading this book." Grayson Perry, artist
"We so often encounter architecture when it goes wrong, or offends us with its looks.Holland, though, is the perfect, clear-headed tour guide to help us appreciate it with newly sharpened senses and fall in love again - even those buildings wethinkwe hate."Tom Dyckhoff, academic and broadcaster
"An enlightening and urbane exploration of architecture that resonates beyond conventional chronological histories" Catherine Slessor, architecture writer and critic

In today's digital landscape, gaming has emerged as a cultural juggernaut, transforming from a simple pastime into a pervasive social phenomenon. This enlightening book explores the complex relationship between gaming and addiction, offering a comprehensive examination of the factors contributing to this modern issue. Readers will embark on a journey that unveils how gaming can simultaneously provide enjoyment and foster dependency.

As gaming evolves, it brings both benefits and challenges. While many find cognitive engagement, social connection, and stress relief through gameplay, it is essential to recognize when these positive aspects can morph into unhealthy compulsions. The book addresses the dual nature of gaming, emphasizing the thin line between recreational enjoyment and addictive behavior.
Delving into the scope of gaming addiction, the text presents alarming global statistics and highlights the formal recognition of gaming addiction as a disorder by leading health organizations. This crucial context underscores the urgency of addressing this pressing issue. The book serves as an all-encompassing guide, empowering readers with knowledge to understand, diagnose, and combat gaming addiction, all while offering hope for those affected.
The exploration continues with a thorough examination of what defines gaming addiction, distinguishing it from casual play and detailing the different types of gaming dependencies. This multifaceted analysis includes insights into the psychological mechanisms that keep players engaged, revealing how game design exploits human behavior through rewards, competition, and social validation.
Furthermore, readers will gain valuable insights into the neuroscience of addiction, learning how gaming activates the brain's reward system, akin to substances that alter mood and behavior. This scientific perspective lays the foundation for understanding the long-term effects of gaming on mental health, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
The book invites readers to reflect on their own gaming habits through self-assessment tools, guiding them in recognizing when gaming has crossed into problematic territory. By investigating the underlying psychological and social factors that drive addiction, the text offers a deeper understanding of the motivations behind excessive gaming.
Equipped with practical strategies, the book outlines a clear path to recovery. It emphasizes the importance of setting realistic goals, establishing healthy boundaries, and finding new hobbies to replace excessive gaming. Readers will learn to cultivate a supportive network that fosters accountability and encouragement throughout their recovery journey.
Interwoven with personal stories of triumph, this book offers inspiring testimonials from individuals who have successfully navigated their way through gaming addiction. These narratives serve as beacons of hope, illustrating the possibility of reclaiming one's life and finding fulfillment beyond the screen.
In addition to addressing the emotional and social costs of gaming addiction, the book emphasizes the importance of developing a balanced relationship with technology. It encourages mindful usage, the establishment of technology-free zones, and the practice of digital minimalism, ensuring that gaming remains a source of enjoyment rather than a pathway to dependency.
Ultimately, this essential guide is more than a resource for understanding gaming addiction; it is a call to action for anyone affected by this issue. Whether you are an individual seeking to regain control of your gaming habits or a family member hoping to support a loved one, this book provides the knowledge, insights, and strategies necessary for navigating the complexities of gaming addiction.

I banchetti degli imperatori romani
Italiano | 2024 | ASIN: 8891325260 | 157 Pages | PDF | 7 MB
Si legge spesso, negli autori antichi, di banchetti allestiti in triclini familiari, dove si portavano cibi semplici, come lumache, lattughe o verdi cavoletti in un tegame annerito o una bianca puls con una saporita salsiccia ma non si legge, esplicitamente, come i cibi per i triclini imperiali, che venivano spesso portati da terre e mari lontani per soddisfare i gusti degli imperatori, fossero stati cucinati e presentati. Per essi era più importante soddisfare i desideri più stravaganti ma non abbiamo la descrizione dei banchetti, i cibi non li "vediamo" presentati sulle loro tavole. Sappiamo, però, che l'imperatore Adriano prediligeva un piatto particolare: il tetrafarmaco composto da un insieme di carni diverse. In realtà questo piatto era stato creato da Elio Vero, adottato da Adriano e che si chiamava pentafarmaco (per l'aggiunta di un altro componente). È un piatto, questo, che denota una creatività nell'accostamento di carni comunque ricercate che non l'avremmo certo trovata in epoca precedente quando nei triclini erano soprattutto presentati cibi non elaborati. È suggestivo pensare, allora, che questo piatto avesse avuto una base di creatività in qualche ricetta particolare, ideata da qualche cuoco particolare e leggere come Elio Vero tenesse sempre accanto al letto i libri di Apicio, oltre a quelli di Ovidio e di Marziale, dimostra come le ricette di Apicio non fossero state dimenticate. Quindi il famoso gastronomo di età tiberiana era ancora "presente" in età adrianea ed anche successivamente quando si legge che l'imperatore Eliogabalo, noto per l'eccentricità e stravaganza in fatto di cibo, si fosse ispirato ad Apicio, fra i semplici cittadini, e agli imperatori Nerone, Otone e Vitellio che, prima di lui, avevano mostrato stravaganze e raffinatezze. Soprattutto stravaganze, sontuosità e ricchezza di cibi sono ampiamente visibili nella famosa cena di Trimalcione che abbiamo voluto, a buon diritto, considerare "imperiale" e che, svoltasi in età neroniana, sarà stata sicuramente fonte di ispirazione da parte di Eliogabalo . Quindi le ricette di Apicio, che verosimilmente erano destinate soprattutto alle cucine degli imperatori, incuriosiscono per le loro elaborazioni, spesso realizzate non solo su cibi semplici ma anche su cibi particolari e non certo seguite dal popolo, trovavano sicuramente espressività e presenza nei banchetti imperiali, svelando ad una attenta lettura anche una cura particolare per la presentazione.

Impact of Agriculture on Soil Degradation II: A European Perspective by Paulo Pereira, Miriam Muñoz-Rojas, Igor Bogunovic, Wenwu Zhao
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 356 Pages | ISBN : 3031320514 | 131.4 MB
This is the second of two volumes that together provide a global overview of the impact of agriculture on soil degradation, tracing the most critical drivers like the use and abuse of agrochemicals, mechanization, overgrazing, irrigation, slash and burn agriculture, and the use of plastics.

Soil degradation caused by agriculture practices is a complex issue which depends on the interaction of social, economic, political, and environmental aspects. In this book, expert contributors elucidate the extension of the effects of agriculture on soil degradation in Europe, a continent with different cultures and political backgrounds that affect agricultural practices. Readers will also find in this book authoritative solutions to minimize the effects of agriculture intensification and land-use in this continent.
Divided into 12 chapters, the book offers a European perspective on soil quality and sustainable management, including case studies about the impact of chemical agents like fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and soil acidification and microplastics pollution in agriculture practices from countries such as Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Germany, Portugal and Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Ukraine.
Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book offers an invaluable source of information for researchers, students and environmental managers alike.

My So-Called Life lasted only 19 episodes from 1994 to 1995, but in that time it earned many devoted viewers, including the showrunners who would usher in the teen TV boom of the late '90s and the new millennium. With its focus on 15-year-old Angela Chase's search for her identity, MSCL's realistic representation of adolescence on TV was groundbreaking; without her there would be no Buffy or Felicity, Rory Gilmore or Veronica Mars.
The series' broadcast coincided with the arrival of third-wave feminism, the first feminist movement to make teen voices a priority, and Angela became their small-screen spokesperson. From her perspective, MSCL explored gender, identity, sexuality, race, class, body image, and other issues vital to the third wave (and the world).
To this day, passionate fans dissect everything from what Rickie Vasquez did for gay representation to what Jordan Catalano did for leaning, and Soraya Roberts makes an invaluable contribution to that conversation with In My Humble Opinion.

In Pursuit of the Good Life: Strategies for Well-Being and Success in College
by Dustin Brisson
English | 2025 | ASIN: B0D9PRYTKS | 223 Pages | PDF | 0.75 MB

An invaluable resource for students to improve their personal well-being and thrive in college.
The college experience offers educational and social opportunities that can be incredibly rewarding for students. For many, however, college is a time of extreme anxiety and stress-but it doesn't have to be.
In Pursuit of the Good Life: Strategies for Well-Being and Success in College digs into the challenges that most frequently plague students and provides practical guidance to overcome these difficulties and thrive. Turning on its head the idea that academic success leads to improved well-being, this book instead rests on the foundation that personal well-being is the pillar that supports all other success in college. Organized by key challenges facing students, each chapter explores the research and reasoning surrounding the issue being discussed and offers guidance and exercises to assist the student in navigating and even gaining from the challenge.
Covering such topics as anxiety, lack of motivation, group dynamics, and busyness vs productiveness, In Pursuit of the Good Life not only provides students with the skills to maximize the benefits of higher education, but to be happy, as well.

It could easily be said that in the UK they are spoiled for choice when it comes to atmospheric historic buildings and certainly Britain's many castles are liberally scattered all over the country. The ninety or so castles selected in this book have been chosen for their prevalence of spectral tales and the legendary events associated with them: whether grisly executions or bloody battles, their names have become synonymous with their history. The object of this guidebook is to locate and describe the haunted castles and their ghostly inhabitants. Most of the castles are open to the public and detailed visiting times are provided; for the few strictly private castles, advice is given as to locations from which they are clearly visible. With maps and photographs, and detailed research revealing where supernatural legends associated with castles mirror historical events, this book offers far more than just a collection of spooky tales.

In Search of Cell History: The Evolution of Life's Building Blocks by Franklin M. Harold
English | October 29, 2014 | ISBN: 022617414X, 022617428X | True EPUB | 304 pages | 7.8 MB
The origin of cells remains one of the most fundamental problems in biology, one that over the past two decades has spawned a large body of research and debate. With In Search of Cell History, Franklin M. Harold offers a comprehensive, impartial take on that research and the controversies that keep the field in turmoil.

Written in accessible language and complemented by a glossary for easy reference, this book investigates the full scope of cellular history. Assuming only a basic knowledge of cell biology, Harold examines such pivotal subjects as the relationship between cells and genes; the central role of bioenergetics in the origin of life; the status of the universal tree of life with its three stems and viral outliers; and the controversies surrounding the last universal common ancestor. He also delves deeply into the evolution of cellular organization, the origin of complex cells, and the incorporation of symbiotic organelles, and considers the fossil evidence for the earliest life on earth. In Search of Cell History shows us just how far we have come in understanding cell evolution―and the evolution of life in general―and how far we still have to go.

David L. Williams, "In Titanic's Shadow"
English | ISBN: 0752471228 | 2012 | 200 pages | EPUB | 11 MB
A collection of the 40 worst mercantile disasters in history-revealing that, despite popular belief, the Titanic tragedy was far from being the worst disaster at sea

While the victims of the Titanic disaster at 1,507 persons accounted for a huge loss of life, each of the ships described in this book had a greater number of casualties, in some cases more than five times as many. In total, these 27 merchant ship sinkings resulted in a staggering loss of life at sea-more than 96,000 lives in total (3,840 per ship). While the circumstances of their losses were different than those of the Titanic, the outcome in each was no less tragic. While it is not the intention to diminish the gravity of the Titanic case, these lesser-known tragedies do give "the worst disaster at sea" a sobering perspective. Despite the fact that the Titanic disaster ranks behind so many other losses, so powerful has her name become as a representation of extreme misfortune, that it was the inevitable choice to describe some of these other events. Hence, they have come to be known as "Germany's
