Geranium and Pelargonium. History of Nomenclature, Usage and Cultivation by Maria Lis-Balchin
Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (October 3, 2002) | ISBN: 0415284872 | Pages: 344 | PDF | 7.8 MB
Confusion about the genera Geranium and Pelargonium existed even before Linnaeus' binomial system of classification bundled both into the former category in 1753. Despite later evaluations that separated the two, many practitioners of alternative medicine and aromatherapists, among others, remain unaware of the distinction. Laymen and plant sales personnel are often equally in the dark - the majority of garden center 'geraniums' are Pelargonium species and cultivars. This work aims to dispel myths and peel away layers of incorrect and muddled information which contribute to the unclear image of the genera.

The Origins of Modernism in Russian Architecture By William Craft Brumfield
University of California Press | 1991-03-06 | 400 pages | ISBN: 0520069293 | PDF --> html | 53 MB
The dramatic transformation of Russian architecture from the 1880s to the 1917 revolution reflected the profound changes in Russian society as it entered the modern industrial age. William Craft Brumfield examines the extraordinary diversity of architectural styles in this period and traces the search by architects and critics for a "unifying idea" that would define a new architecture. Generously illustrated with archival materials and with the author's own superb photographs, this is the first comprehensive study by a Western scholar of a neglected period in European architectural and cultural history. Brumfield explores the diverse styles of Russian modernism in part by analyzing the contemporary theoretical debate about them: the relation between technology and style, the obligation of architecture to society, and the role of architecture as an expression of national identity. Steeped in controversy, Russian modernism at the beginning of the century foreshadowed the radical restructuring of architectural form in the Soviet Union during the two decades after the revolution. This authoritative work provides a new understanding of Russian architecture's last brief entrepreneurial episode and offers insight on our own era, when individual freedom and initiative may once again find expression in Russian architecture.

Michael Kane, "Modern Men: Mapping Masculinity in English and German Literature, 1880-1930"
Publisher: Cassell Academic | 1999 | ISBN 0304703109 | PDF | 241 pages | 11.8 MB
An examination of some of the canonical works of modern literature in English and German with regard to masculinity, relations between men, national identity and patriarchy. These were major preoccupations of male writers as they came to terms with or reacted against the decline of patriarchal authority. The book identifies five leitmotifs which serve to characterize the period between 1880 and 1930: the "double", the "other" (narcissus and Salome), the nationalization of Narcissus, Kampf or male bondage, and after patriarchy. Again and again one sees how men attempted to define themselves against what they imagined as "femininity", not merely outside but also within their selves, and further how men sought to overcome or find a socially acceptable expression for their narcissistic, homosexual and even sadomasochist libido.

Dennis Showalter, "Hindenburg: Icon of German Militarism (Military Profiles) (Hardcover)"
Publisher: Potomac Books Inc. | 2005 | ISBN 1574886533 | PDF | pages | 10.3 MB
With his victory over the Russian army at the battle of Tannenberg in August 1914, Paul von Hindenburg became a war hero. By 1916 he had parlayed an exaggerated reputation for decisive victory into near dictatorial powers. After Germany’s defeat at Verdun and War Minister Erich von Falkenhayn’s dismissal in late 1916, Hindenburg, along with his chief of staff Erich Ludendorff, took over strategic direction of the war. The eponymous Hindenburg Program attempted with some success to mobilize Germany’s economy for war. He also oversaw many of Germany’s most important wartime decisions, including the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, Bethmann Hollweg’s dismissal as chancellor, Russia’s defeat and negotiation of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, and the “Ludendorff Offensives” of 1918, which sought decisive victory on the Western Front but ended in Germany’s catastrophic defeat. After the war, Hindenburg played a crucial role in creating the Dolchstosslegende (the myth that the German Army had been “stabbed in the back” by a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy on the homefront), in leading Germany as president of the Weimar Republic, and, most tragically, in acquiescing to Adolf Hitler’s rise to power.

Amanda Ashley - A Darker Dream (Love Spell Romance)
Love Spell | ISBN: 050552208X | 7/28/1997 | English | 400 pages | PDF & LIT | 1 MB
In all his four hundred years, Rayven had never met a woman like Rhianna McLeod.. She was a vision of light, of warmth, of everything he was not-nor could ever be. Doomed to live forever in darkness and solitude, he knew all too well the risk in getting close to her, yet he hungered for her with a fierce passion he swore he'd never allow himself to feel... Rhianna's father had sold her to Rayven to put food on the table-so she had no choice but to go with the dark stranger. To her surprise, he gave her everything she wanted- the finest clothes, education, and the run of the castle- everything, that is, except his touch. For although she sensed danger beneath his soft-spoken manner, although even Rayven himself warned her away, she was drawn to this creature of the night, and loved him as she would no other.

Ergot: The Genus Claviceps (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants - Industrial Profiles) by Vladimir Kren
Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (April 8, 1999) | ISBN: 905702375X | Pages: 499 | PDF | 7 MB
The sixth volume in the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants - Industrial Profiles is written by experts actively working in ergot research. Ergot (Claviceps purpurrea) is best known as a disease of rye and grasses. It is probably the most widely cultivated fungus and it has become an important field crop. Ergot alkaloids, which are extensively used in medicine, are the main reason for its importance. The book begins with the history of ergot research which is comparable to that of the discovery of penicillin. Review articles on Claviceps taxonomy, genetics, biogenesis and pharmacology are based on recent achievements in molecular biology - some of them published here for the first time. The chapters on ergot cultivation, physiology and biotechnology are written by distinguished experts in industry. Sections dealing with the chemistry of ergot alkaloids and biotransformation are comprehensive and serve as good reference material.

In the following pages I therefore review the development of modern hydraulic fluids, discuss their physical/chemical properties in relation to operational requirements, and offer guidance concerning suitable maintenance routines.
