We Are Poor but So Many: The Story of Self-Employed Women in India
Publisher:Oxford University Press, USA | Pages:248 | 2005-12-15 | ISBN:0195169840 | PDF | 3 MB

Ela Bhatt is widely recognized as one of the world’s most remarkable pioneers and entrepreneurial forces in grassroots development. Known as the “gentle revolutionary,” she has dedicated her life to improving the lives of India’s poorest and most oppressed citizens. In India, where 93 percent of the labor force are self-employed, 94 percent of this sector are women.

Yet self-employed women have historically enjoyed few legal protections or worker’s rights. In fact, most are illiterate and subject to exploitation and harassment by moneylenders, employers, and officials. Witnessing the terrible conditions faced by women working as weavers, stitchers, cigarette rollers, and waste collectors, Ela Bhatt began helping these women to organize themselves. In 1972, Ela Bhatt founded the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) to bring poor women together and give them ways to fight for their rights and earn better livings. Three years after SEWA was founded, it had 7,000 members. Today it has a total membership of 700,000 women, making it the largest single primary trade union in India. Bhatt lead SEWA to form a cooperative bank in 1974 - with a share capital of $30,000 - that offered microcredit loans to help women save and become financially independent. Today the SEWA Cooperative Bank has $1.5 million in working capital and more than 30,000 depositors with a loan return rate of 94 percent. Through years of organization and strategic action, Ela Bhatt developed SEWA from a small, often ignored group into a powerful trade union and bank with allies around the world. During the last three decades, SEWA’s efforts to increase the bargaining power, economic opportunities, health security, legal representation, and organizational abilities of Indian women have brought dramatic improvements to hundreds of thousands of lives and influenced similar initiatives around the globe. We Are Poor but So Many is a first-hand account of the vision, rise, and success of SEWA, in India as well as internationally. The book begins with a history of the early days of SEWA and an exploration of the Ghandian philosophy that helped shape SEWA’s formation and vision. It follows with an account of the struggles and challenges that SEWA faced in its journey and describes how these were addressed and overcome. It then explores the freedom that SEWA has facilitated for women working in the informal economy by presenting several inspirational stories of individual SEWA members. The final chapter describes the international extension of SEWA’s work, the challenges that women face in the informal economy worldwide, and how SEWA can be effectively replicated in other parts of the world. This volume is unique in that it will elaborate the specific experience and knowledge of Ela Bhatt in her and SEWA’s journey and provide insights and knowledge that no outside researcher would ever be in a position to replicate.

Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, Harry Lewis, “Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion”
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2008 | ISBN: 0137135599 | 384 pages | PDF | 21,7 MB

“If you want to understand the future before it happens, you’ll love this book. If you want to change the future before it happens to you, this book is required reading.”
–Reed Hundt, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission

“There is no simpler or clearer statement of the radical change that digital technologies will bring, nor any book that better prepares one for thinking about the next steps.”

–Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School and Author of Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

“Blown to Bits will blow you away. In highly accessible and always fun prose, it explores all the nooks and crannies of the digital universe, exploring not only how this exploding space works but also what it means.”
–Debora Spar, President of Barnard College, Author of Ruling the Waves and The Baby Business

“This is a wonderful book–probably the best since Hal Varian and Carl Schultz wrote Digital Rules. The authors are engineers, not economists. The result is a long, friendly talk with the genie, out of the lamp, and willing to help you avoid making the traditional mistake with that all-important third wish.”
–David Warsh, Author of Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations

“Blown to Bits is one of the clearest expositions I’ve seen of the social and political issues arising from the Internet. Its remarkably clear explanations of how the Net actually works lets the hot air out of some seemingly endless debates. You’ve made explaining this stuff look easy. Congratulations!”
–David Weinberger, Coauthor of The Cluetrain Manifesto and Author of Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder.

“Blown to Bits is a timely, important, and very readable take on how information is produced and consumed today, and more important, on the approaching sea change in the way that we as a society deal with the consequences.”
–Craig Silverstein, Director of Technology, Google, Inc.

“This book gives an overview of the kinds of issues confronting society as we become increasingly dependent on the Internet and the World Wide Web. Every informed citizen should read this book and then form their own opinion on these and related issues. And after reading this book you will rethink how (and even whether) you use the Web to form your opinions…”
–James S. Miller, Senior Director for Technology Policy and Strategy, Microsoft Corporation

“Most writing about the digital world comes from techies writing about technical matter for other techies or from pundits whose turn of phrase greatly exceeds their technical knowledge. In Blown to Bits, experts in computer science address authoritatively the practical issues in which we all have keen interest.”
–Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Author of Multiple Intelligences and Changing Minds

“Regardless of your experience with computers, Blown to Bits provides a uniquely entertaining and informative perspective from the computing industry’s greatest minds.
A fascinating, insightful and entertaining book that helps you understand computers and their impact on the world in a whole new way.
This is a rare book that explains the impact of the digital explosion in a way that everyone can understand and, at the same time, challenges experts to think in new ways.”
–Anne Margulies, Assistant Secretary for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

“Blown to Bits is fun and fundamental. What a pleasure to see real teachers offering such excellent framework for students in a digital age to explore and understand their digital environment, code and law, starting with the insight of Claude Shannon. I look forward to you teaching in an open online school.”
–Professor Charles Nesson, Harvard Law School, Founder, Berkman Center for Internet and Society

“To many of us, computers and the Internet are magic. We make stuff, send stuff, receive stuff, and buy stuff. It’s all pointing, clicking, copying, and pasting. But it’s all mysterious. This book explains in clear and comprehensive terms how all this gear on my desk works and why we should pay close attention to these revolutionary changes in our lives. It’s a brilliant and necessary work for consumers, citizens, and students of all ages.”
–Siva Vaidhyanathan, cultural historian and media scholar at the University of Virginia and author of Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens Creativity

“The world has turned into the proverbial elephant and we the blind men. The old and the young among us risk being controlled by, rather than in control of, events and technologies. Blown to Bits is a remarkable and essential Rosetta Stone for beginning to figure out how all of the pieces of the new world we have just begun to enter–law, technology, culture, information–are going to fit together. Will life explode with new possibilities, or contract under pressure of new horrors? The precipice is both exhilarating and frightening. Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis, together, have ably managed to describe the elephant. Readers of this compact book describing the beginning stages of a vast human adventure will be one jump ahead, for they will have a framework on which to hang new pieces that will continue to appear with remarkable speed. To say that this is a ‘must read’ sounds trite, but, this time, it’s absolutely true.”
–Harvey Silverglate, criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer and writer

Every day, billions of photographs, news stories, songs, X-rays, TV shows, phone calls, and emails are being scattered around the world as sequences of zeroes and ones: bits. We can’t escape this explosion of digital information and few of us want to–the benefits are too seductive. The technology has enabled unprecedented innovation, collaboration, entertainment, and democratic participation.
But the same engineering marvels are shattering centuries-old assumptions about privacy, identity, free expression, and personal control as more and more details of our lives are captured as digital data.
Can you control who sees all that personal information about you? Can email be truly confidential, when nothing seems to be private? Shouldn’t the Internet be censored the way radio and TV are? Is it really a federal crime to download music? When you use Google or Yahoo! to search for something, how do they decide which sites to show you? Do you still have free speech in the digital world? Do you have a voice in shaping government or corporate policies about any of this?
Blown to Bits offers provocative answers to these questions and tells intriguing real-life stories. This book is a wake-up call to the human consequences of the digital explosion.

Springer | 1999-11-23 | ISBN: 3540664351 | 496 pages | PDF | 4.1 MB

This set of lecture notes provides a detailed and up-to-date description of a field undergoing explosive growth, that of confined photon systems in the shape of microcavities or photonic crystals. Bringing together world leaders in the field, it provides all the basic tools needed to master a subject which will have both major impact in fundamental studies and widescale applications.

Confined photon systems enable the study of low-dimensional photonic systems, modified light-matter interaction, e.g. between excitons and photons in all-solid-state semiconductor microcavities, and of many phenomena of quantum optics, including single photon generation, squeezed light, quantum state entanglement, non-local quantum measurements, and, potentially, quantum computation. They are also on the verge of yielding new, high performance optical devices for large-scale industries such as telecommunications and display technology.

Stress, Trauma, and Children’s Memory Development: Neurobiological, Cognitive, Clinical, and Legal Perspectives
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 019530845X | edition 2008 | PDF | 432 pages | 1,74 mb

Few questions in psychology have generated as much debate as those concerning the impact of childhood trauma on memory. A lack of scientific research to constrain theory has helped fuel arguments about whether childhood trauma leads to deficits that result in conditions such as false memory or lost memory, and whether neurohormonal changes that are correlated with childhood trauma can be associated with changes in memory.

Scientists have also struggled with more theoretical concerns, such as how to conceptualize and measure distress and other negative emotions in terms of, for example, discrete emotions, physiological response, and observer ratings. To answer these questions, Mark L. Howe, Gail Goodman, and Dante Cicchetti have brought together the most current and innovative neurobiological, cognitive, clinical, and legal research on stress and memory development. This research examines the effects of early stressful and traumatic experiences on the development of memory in childhood, and elucidates how early trauma is related to other measures of cognitive and clinical functioning in childhood. It also goes beyond childhood to both explore the long-term impact of stressful and traumatic experiences on the entire course of “normal” memory development, and determine the longevity of trauma memories that are formed early in life. Stress, Trauma, and Children’s Memory Development will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in early experience, childhood trauma, and memory research.

The accounts give a deeply personal insight into how the revolution devastated the aristocracy, the intelligensia and foreigners of Moscow and St. Petersburg in the few weeks after the October 1917 upheaval.

The memories of the women in this book have remained very sharp, with a volume and precision of detail, and intensity of recall, found in those whose premature transition to adulthood coincided with the whose premature transition to adulthood coincided with the traumas of revolution.

Media Technology and Society: A History: From the Telegraph to the Internet
Routledge | 392 pages | 1998 | ISBN: 0415142296 | PDF | 1.2 mb

How are media born? How do they change? And how do they change us?

Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the printing press to the internet.

Brian Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telegraph and the telephone to computers, satellite and virtual reality, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten law by which new technologies are introduced into society only insofar as their disruptive potential is limited. Winston’s fascinating account examines the role played by individuals such as Alexander Graham Bell, Gugliemo Marconi, John Logie Baird, Boris Rozing and Charles Babbage, and challenges the popular myth of the present-day “information revolution.”

The Legacy of the Golden Age: The 1960s and their Economic Consequences
Routledge | 216 pages | 1992 | ISBN: 0415071542 | PDF | 2 mb

From the perspective of the 1990s, the 1960s seem to have been a golden age for economics. National income was growing even faster than in the 1950s, unemployment remained at about 2% of the labor force, and inflation was at 4% for most of the decade. The long boom that had begun at the end of World War II and was to continue until the oil crisis of 1973 was at its peak.

Economic success was the backdrop to a number of economic and social experiments, including the founding of many new universities in the United Kingdom and the first attempts to join the European Community.

In this study, a uniquely qualified team of economists and policy-makers examine the economic experience of the 1960s. They examine the conditions which enabled the boom to last for such a long time, and the factors which finally brought it to an end. The decade of the 1960s was rich in policy experiments–many that tried to curb inflation, and others that aimed to increase productivity. In retrospect, neither strategy proved to be successful, and the late sixties were marked by the rising inflation and falling productivity that were to persist throughout the seventies. The economic problems that emerged are still on the agenda, and this book concludes by assessing the extent to which policy mistakes of the sixties were responsible for these conflicts.

Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship
Routledge | 304 pages | 1992 | ISBN: 0415070619 | PDF | 1 mb

Among Alexander’s successors, Lysimachus is the forgotten man; when he is recalled it is usually as brutal oppressor of the Greeks, or conversely, as a mediocre little man spurred into action only late in life by a domineering woman. As the first full-length study of Lysimachus in the English language, this book aims to reassess Lysimachus’ achievements, which although ephemeral, foreshadowed the growth of the Pergamene and Byzantine empires.

Helen Lund sets Lysimachus’ actions against the background of the early Hellenistic world, marked by extreme political instability and constant warfare, but also by great developments in city building, portraiture and numismatics. Lysimachus’ practice in warfare, kingship, and government is compared and contrasted with that of his contemporaries, his predecessors, and his successors in order to set his achievements in the context of a continuum of imperial rule in Asia Minor. The evidence for Lysimachus’s rule is set in its literary, political and social context. Covering Lysimachus’s rise from governor of the obscure satrapy of Thrace to ruler of a vast Hellespont-centered kingdom, this book analyzes his skills as warrior and diplomat, and examines the factors which motivated him at each stage of his career.

Helen Lund discusses images of Lysimachus in literature, his contribution to early Hellenistic kingship ritual and royal propaganda, offering a completely fresh approach to the dynastic struggle which ended his career. The book is written in a clear and lively style, and it is of interest to all students of ancient Greek history.

Migrants, Minorities and Health explores the relations between medicine and minorities in the twentieth century. The contributors present both historical and contemporary studies of migrant and minority groups from societies around the world in order to examine how health issues have interacted with ideas of ethnicity and race. The essays explore the historical origins and contemporary power of stereotypical views–of immigrants as importers of disease, for instance, or of minorities as sources of infection in the host society.

They also show how ideas of ethnicity and race have shaped, and have in turn been influenced by, the construction of medical ideas.

Japan and Britain after 1859: Creating Cultural Bridges
RoutledgeCurzon | 304 pages | 2002 | ISBN: 0700717471 | PDF | 2 mb

In the years following Japan’s long period of self-imposed isolation from the world, Japan developed a new relationship with the West, and especially with Britain, where relations grew to be particularly close. The Japanese, embarrassed by their perceived comparative backwardness, looked to the West to learn modern industrial techniques, including the design and engineering skills which underpinned them.

At the same time, taking great pride in their own culture, they exhibited and sold high quality products of traditional Japanese craftsmanship in the West, stimulating a thirst for, and appreciation of, Japanese arts and crafts. This book examines the two-way bridge-building cultural exchange which took place between Japan and Britain in the years after 1859 and into the early years of the 20th century.

Denis J. Evans, “Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids”
Anu E Press | 2007 | ISBN: 1921313226 | 302 pages | PDF | 12,8 MB

In recent years the interaction between dynamical systems theory and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics has been enormous. The discovery of fluctuation theorems as a fundamental structure common to almost all non-equilibrium systems, and the connections with the free energy calculation methods of Jarzynski and Crooks, have excited both theorists and experimentalists. This graduate level book charts the development and theoretical analysis of molecular dynamics as applied to equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems.

Designed for both researchers in the field and graduate students of physics, it connects molecular dynamics simulation with the mathematical theory to understand non-equilibrium steady states. It also provides a link between the atomic, nano, and macro worlds. The book ends with an introduction to the use of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to justify a thermodynamic treatment of non-equilibrium steady states, and gives a direction to further avenues of exploration.

Vietnam 1945: The Quest for Power
Univ of California Pr | 587 pages | 1995 | ISBN: 0520078330 | PDF | 2 mb

1945: the most significant year in the modern history of Vietnam. One thousand years of dynastic politics and monarchist ideology came to an end. Eight decades of French rule lay shattered. Five years of Japanese military occupation ceased. Allied leaders determined that Chinese troops in the north of Indochina and British troops in the South would receive the Japanese surrender. Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, with himself as president.

Drawing on extensive archival research, interviews, and an examination of published memoirs and documents, David G. Marr has written a richly detailed and descriptive analysis of this crucial moment in Vietnamese history. He shows how Vietnam became a vortex of intense international and domestic competition for power, and how actions in Washington and Paris, as well as Saigon, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh’s mountain headquarters, interacted and clashed, often with surprising results. Marr’s book probes the ways in which war and revolution sustain each other, tracing a process that will interest political scientists and sociologists as well as historians and Southeast Asia specialists.

Gary Walker - It Problem Management (Harris Kern’s Enterprise Computing Institute)
Pages:260 | PDF | Prentice Hall (März 2001) | ISBN 013030770X | 1,6 MB

Whether you manage in-house or outsourced IT operations, your problem resolution processes may be the #1 factor that will determine your ultimate success or failure. What’s more, help desks are increasingly called upon to “move up the food chain,” becoming true service centers capable of delivering complex, strategic solutions. Finally, there’s a single source for all the information you need to build world-class problem management processes — and deliver the value today’s enterprises are demanding.

Drawing upon extensive real-world consulting experience, Gary Walker presents specific process improvements IT organizations and outsourcers can make to achieve breakthrough results in their help desks and service centers. Walker reviews every key element of the problem management process, including problem identification, customer validation, problem logging, service delivery, knowledge capture and sharing, and finally, management review and oversight. Walker introduces the Immediate Response Model, which gives IT managers a formal way to account for request variability, complexity, and volume; shows how to use metrics to measure your progress; and offers guidance on creating and using service level agreements. The book includes a detailed chapter on tools for communications with customers, service delivery, and proactive monitoring, as well as opportunities to use the Internet and Integrated Voice Response (IVR) systems to empower customers. Finally, Walker addresses the human side of help desks and service centers, offering practical guidance on motivation.

From Nucleons to Nucleus: Concepts of Microscopic Nuclear Theory
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 648 | 2007-03 | ISBN: 3540488596 | PDF | 4 MB

From Nucleons to Nucleus deals with single-particle and collective features of spherical nuclei. Each nuclear model is introduced and derived in detail. The formalism is then applied to light and medium-heavy nuclei in worked-out examples, and finally the acquired skills are strengthened by a wide selection of exercises, many relating the models to experimental data. For consistency, the surface delta interaction is used in all applications requiring configuration mixing.

Nuclear properties are discussed using particles, holes and quasiparticles. A large number of matrix elements of standard operators have been tabulated for reference. From Nucleons to Nucleus is based on lectures on nuclear physics given by the author. It’s main scope is thus to serve as a textbook for advanced students. But also researchers will appreciate it as well-balanced reference to theoretical nuclear physics.

Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy: 750-500 BCE
Routledge | 144 pages | 1993 | ISBN: 041509500X | PDF | 1.4 mb

Ancient prophecy was not confined to Israel, yet the phenomenon of prophetic poetry as it developed there was unique. The impact of this poetry on civilisation is incalculable, though its origins and motives largely remain mysterious. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy shows that this poetry is inseparable from the empires which determined the history of the ancient Near East and the fate of Israel and Judah from the late 8th century to the end of the 6th century BCE - first Assyria, then Babylonia, and finally Persia.

Each empire had its own characters and motives and stimulated a distinct wave of prophecy, led in turn by Isaiah ben Amos, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and the Second Isaiah. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is an historical interpretation and an anthology of prophetic poetry which uses recent research on imperialism and creativity to produce a radically new interpretation of the biblical prophets. Over 3 dozen outstanding poems and fragments in new translation from the Hebrew Bible are arranged in a running narrative starting from the late 8th century BCE, until the late 6th century BCE. Among the highlights are Song of a Vineyard, Nahum on the fall of Nineveh and poems n the suffering servant. Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is an exciting, kaleidoscopic presentation of biblical prophecy showing the inextricability of the poetry from the political and military upheavals which occurred at the same time in the ancient Near East.

Emperors and Gladiators
Routledge | 264 pages | 1992 | ISBN: 041500005X | PDF | 2 mb

Of all aspects of Roman culture, the gladiatorial contests for which the Romans built their amphitheatres are at once the most fascinating and the most difficult for us to come to terms with. Since antiquity, a number of theories have been put forward to explain their importance.

They have been seen as sacrifices to the gods or, at funerals, to the souls of the deceased; as a mechanism for introducing and inuring young Romans to the horrors of fighting; and as a substitute for the warfare which the Roman people were no longer directly involved in after the emperors imposed peace in the first two centuries A.D.

Thomas Wiedemann considers why these theories cannot by themselves explain the importance of the ‘Games,’ their association with the emperors, and their decline as the Roman world became Christian. He begins by examining the role of public ceremonies in the context of competition with the Roman elite, as public demonstrations both of the power of the Roman community as a whole, and of the ‘virtue’ of a particular public figure; and it ends by examining how emperors, often seeking to identify themselves with the civilising hero Hercules, used the games in the amphitheatre to advertise the legitimacy of their government. In between, gladiatorial duels are considered in the context of the destruction of wild beasts and of criminals in the arena; in comparison with the Romans’ natural and human enemies, gladiators symbolised the possibility of re-integration into Roman society by proving that they possessed the most crucial Roman virtue, fighting ability. Gladiators were ‘marginal’ ambivalent figures, and therefore heavily criticised by many ancient writers. But these objections were not humanitarian in any modern sense. When Christian Romans rejected gladiatorial games, it was because they were a rival representation of the possibility of resurrection: Easter and Christmas replaced gladiators Emperors and Gladiators is fully illustrated and it draws on the latest epigraphical evidence in order to present an original and comprehensive study of the changing significance of gladiatorial contests to Roman culture.

Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective
Routledge | 2006-12-05 | ISBN: 0415400368 | PDF | Pages: 276 | 1.77 MB

The comparative dimension is, all too often, missing from writing on Israeli history. Zionist ideology restricts comparisons between Zionism and other forms of nationalism. Also, Zionist claims to have initiated a radical rupture with the Jewish past mask continuities between Israel and the experiences of modern diaspora Jewry. Over the past two decades, Israeli historiography has become more critical, and a number of books have presented Israel as a variant of settler-colonialist societies such as the United States and South Africa.

The framework of continuity across space commands attention, but it lacks nuance and is often built upon politicized foundations. Moreover, this framework neglects areas of continuity across time, between Israel and the Jewish past.

Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective seeks to address these issues. The essays in this book combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world. These frameworks include:

· modern Jewish society, politics and culture
· historical consciousness in the 20th-century western world, and the matrix of Western colonialism,
· Third World anti-colonialism and post-colonial state-building.

The book’s underlying theme is the need to study Israeli history within multiple and overlapping comparative frameworks. The benefit of comparison is not limited to a richer understanding of the circumstances under which Israel was born and has developed. Rather, an open-ended, comparative approach offers a useful means of correcting the biases found in so much scholarship on Israel, be it sympathetic or hostile. Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective will appeal to scholars and students with research interests in Middle East studies and Israeli history.

God, Humanity, and History: The Hebrew First Crusade Chronicles
University of California Press | 272 pages | 2000 | ISBN: 0520221273 | PDF | 1.2 mb

Although closely focused on the remarkable Hebrew First-Crusade narratives, Robert Chazan’s new interpretation of these texts is anything but narrow, as his title, God, Humanity, and History, strongly suggests. The three surviving Hebrew accounts of the crusaders’ devastating assaults on Rhineland Jewish communities during the spring of 1096 have been examined at length, but only now can we appreciate the extent to which they represent their turbulent times.

After a close analysis of the texts themselves, Chazan addresses the objectives of the three narratives. He compares these accounts with earlier Jewish history writing and with contemporary crusade historiography. It is in their disjuncture with past forms of Jewish historical narration and their amazing parallels with Latin crusade narratives that the Hebrew narratives are most revealing. We see how they reflect the embeddedness of early Ashkenazic Jewry in the vibrant atmosphere of late-eleventh- and early-twelfth-century northern Europe.

Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America (George Gund Foundation Imprint in African American Studies)
University of California Press | 485 pages | 2005 | ISBN: 0520239199 | PDF | 2 mb

Paul Bontemps decided to move his family to Los Angeles from Louisiana in 1906 on the day he finally submitted to a strictly enforced Southern custom–he stepped off the sidewalk to allow white men who had just insulted him to pass by. Friends of the Bontemps family, like many others beckoning their loved ones West, had written that Los Angeles was “a city called heaven” for people of color. But just how free was Southern California for African Americans?

This splendid history, at once sweeping in its historical reach and intimate in its evocation of everyday life, is the first full account of Los Angeles’s black community in the half century before World War II. Filled with moving human drama, it brings alive a time and place largely ignored by historians until now, detailing African American community life and political activism during the city’s transformation from small town to sprawling metropolis.
Writing with a novelist’s sensitivity to language and drawing from fresh historical research, Douglas Flamming takes us from Reconstruction to the Jim Crow era, through the Great Migration, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and the build-up to World War II. Along the way, he offers rich descriptions of the community and its middle-class leadership, the women who were front and center with men in the battle against racism in the American West.
In addition to drawing a vivid portrait of a little-known era, Flamming shows that the history of race in Los Angeles is crucial for our understanding of race in America. The civil rights activism in Los Angeles laid the foundation for critical developments in the second half of the century that continue to influence us to this day.

Rens Bod, Jennifer Hay, Stefanie Jannedy, “Probabilistic Linguistics”
The MIT Press | 2003-04-01 | ISBN: 0262523388 | 463 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB

For the past forty years, linguistics has been dominated by the idea that language is categorical and linguistic competence discrete. It has become increasingly clear, however, that many levels of representation, from phonemes to sentence structure, show probabilistic properties, as does the language faculty. Probabilistic linguistics conceptualizes categories as distributions and views knowledge of language not as a minimal set of categorical constraints but as a set of gradient rules that may be characterized by a statistical distribution.

Whereas categorical approaches focus on the endpoints of distributions of linguistic phenomena, probabilistic approaches focus on the gradient middle ground. Probabilistic linguistics integrates all the progress made by linguistics thus far with a probabilistic perspective.

This book presents a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic approaches to linguistic inquiry. It covers the application of probabilistic techniques to phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. It also includes a tutorial on elementary probability theory and probabilistic grammars.

CRC | 2006-11-01 | ISBN: 0849380383 | 232 pages | PDF | 6 MB

Hampered by a confusing plethora of approaches and methods, biogeography is often treated as an adjunct to other areas of study. The first book to fully define this rapidly emerging subdiscipline, Biogeography in a Changing World elucidates the principles of biogeography and paves the way for its evolution into a stand-alone field.

Drawing on contributions from leading proponents of differing methods within biogeography, the book clearly defines the differing, sometimes conflicting, perspectives in the field and their correspondingly different methodological approaches. This gives readers the opportunity to refocus on a range of issues including the role of biological processes such as vicariance, dispersal and extinction in biogeographical explanation, the possibility of biogeographical pattern, and the role of geological reconstructions in biogeographic explanation. The book also explores the discipline’s current relationship with other disciplines and discusses potential developments.

Douglas N. Walton, “Relevance in Argumentation”
Lawrence Erlbaum | 2003-09-01 | ISBN: 080584760X | 311 pages | PDF | 17,9 MB

In Relevance in Argumentation, author Douglas Walton presents a new method for critically evaluating arguments for relevance. This method enables a critic to judge whether a move can be said to be relevant or irrelevant, and is based on case studies of argumentation in which an argument, or part of an argument, has been criticized as irrelevant. Walton’s method is based on a new theory of relevance that incorporates techniques of argumentation theory, logic, and artificial intelligence.

The work uses a case-study approach with numerous examples of controversial arguments, strategies of attack in argumentation, and fallacies. Walton reviews ordinary cases of irrelevance in argumentation, and uses them as a basis to advance and develop his new theory of irrelevance and relevance. The volume also presents a clear account of the technical problems in the previous attempts to define relevance, including an analysis of formal systems of relevance logic and an explanation of the Grecian notion of conversational relevance.

This volume is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in those fields using argumentation theory–especially philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science and communication studies, in addition to argumentation. The work also has practical use, as it applies theory directly to familiar examples of argumentation in daily and professional life. With a clear and comprehensive method for determining relevance and irrelevance, it can be convincingly applied to highly significant practical problems about relevance, including those in legal and political argumentation.

Stephan Boehm, Christian Gehrke, Heinz D. Kurz, Richard Sturn, “Is There Progress in Economics?: Knowledge, Truth and the History of Economic Thought”
Edward Elgar Publishing | 2002-08-31 | ISBN: 1840646837 | 304 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

This thought-provoking book discusses the concept of progress in economics and investigates whether any advance has been made in its different spheres of research. The authors look back at the history, successes and failures of their respective fields and thoroughly examine the notion of progress from an epistemological and methodological perspective.

The idea of progress is particularly significant as the authors regard it as an essentially contested concept which can be defined in many ways - theoretically or empirically, locally or globally, or as encouraging or impeding the existence of other research traditions. The authors discuss the idea that for progress to make any sense there must be an accumulation of knowledge built up over time rather than the replacement of ideas by each successive generation. Accordingly, they are not concerned with estimating the price of progress, reminiscing, or assessing what has been lost. Instead they apply the complex mechanisms and machinery of the discipline to sub-fields such as normative economics, monetary economics, trade and location theory, Austrian economics and classical economics to critically assess whether progress has been made in these areas of research.
Bringing together authoritative and wide-ranging contributions by leading scholars, this book will challenge and engage those interested in philosophy, economic methodology and the history of economic thought. It will also appeal to economists in general who are interested in the advancement of their profession.

Andrew Bacevich “The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War”
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA 2005 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 0195173384 | PDF | 1.2 MB

In this provocative new book, Andrew Bacevich warns of a dangerous dual obsession that has taken hold of Americans, conservatives and liberals alike. It is a marriage of militarism and utopian ideology–of unprecedented military might wed to a blind faith in the universality of American values. This perilous union, Bacevich argues, commits Americans to a futile enterprise, turning the US into a crusader state with a self-proclaimed mission of driving history to its final destination: the world-wide embrace of the American way of life.

This mindset invites endless war and the ever-deepening militarization of US policy. It promises not to perfect but to pervert American ideals and to accelerate the hollowing out of American democracy. As it alienates others, it will leave the United States increasingly isolated. It will end in bankruptcy, moral as well as economic, and in abject failure. The New American Militarism examines the origins and implications of this misguided enterprise. The author shows how American militarism emerged as a reaction to the Vietnam War. Various groups in American society–soldiers, politicians on the make, intellectuals, strategists, Christian evangelicals, even purveyors of pop culture–came to see the revival of military power and the celebration of military values as the antidote to all the ills besetting the country as a consequence of Vietnam and the 1960s. The upshot, acutely evident in the aftermath of 9/11, has been a revival of vast ambitions and certainty, this time married to a pronounced affinity for the sword. Bacevich urges us to restore a sense of realism and a sense of proportion to US policy. He proposes, in short, to bring American purposes and American methods–especially with regard to the role of the military–back into harmony with the nation’s founding ideals.

The Postmodern
Routledge | 2005 | ISBN: 0415280656 | Pages: 208 | PDF | 1.35 MB

HOW CAN ONE UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE PRESENT?
WHAT MIGHT IT MEAN TO SAY THE WORLD HAS BECOME POSTMODERN?

Simon Malpas investigates the theories and definitions of postmodernism and postmodernity, and explores their impact in such areas as identity, history, art, literature and culture.

In attempting to locate the essence of the postmodern, and the contrasting experiences of postmodernity in the Western and developing worlds, he looks closely at:

• modernism and postmodernism
• modernity and postmodernity
• subjectivity
• history
• politics

This useful guidebook will introduce students to a range of key thinkers who have sought to question the contemporary situation, and will enable readers to begin to approach the primary texts of postmodern theory and culture with confidence.

Dictionaries in Early Modern Europe: Lexicography and the Making of Heritage
Cambridge University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0521886740 | Pages: 408 | PDF | 1.73 MB

Dictionaries tell stories of many kinds. The history of dictionaries, of how they were produced, published and used, has much to tell us about the language and the culture of the past. This monumental work of scholarship draws on published and archival material to survey a wide range of dictionaries of western European languages (including English, German, Latin and Greek) published between the early sixteenth and mid seventeenth centuries.

John Considine establishes a new and powerful model for the social and intellectual history of lexicography by examining dictionaries both as imaginative texts and as scholarly instruments. He tells the stories of national and individual heritage and identity that were created through the making of dictionaries in the early modern period. Far from dry, factual collections of words, dictionaries are creative works, shaping as well as recording early modern culture and intellectual history.

Theorizing Modernisms: Essays in Critical Theory
Routledge | 1993 | ISBN: 0415077540 | Pages: 200 | PDF | 1.11 MB

At a time when postmodernism seems to have achieved a dominant position in cultural and critical theory the contributors to this volume provide a much needed corrective to the misleading images of modernism which have dominated recent debate.

Richard Sheppard’s account of European modernism focuses on the profound ideological crisis which beset Western culture between 1890 and 1930 and examines the ways in which artists and intellectuals responded to it; Bernard McGuirk analyses the ambivalent reactions of Apollinaire and Alberti to the machine age; David Wragg investigates the aesthetic and epistemological underpinnings of verbal and visual Vorticism in the work of Wyndham Lewis and Mike Johnson considers the potential for a (post)modernist political aesthetic in the Merz texts of Kurt Schwitters. And finally Steve Giles Afterword provides a much needed overview of the relationship between modernism and the avant-garde, postmodernism and modernity. This volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of modernism and through the use of contemporary critical theory sheds new light on current controversies surrounding postmodernism. It will be essential reading for all those interested in critical theory, cultural studies and comparative literature.

Beowulf: The Critical Heritage
Routledge | 1998 | ISBN: 0415029708 | Pages: 594 | PDF | 2.34 MB

Beowulf is the oldest and most complete epic poem in any non-Classical European language. This impressive volume selects over one hundred works of critical commentary from the vast body of scholarship on Beowulf - including English translations from German, Danish, Latin and Spanish - from the poem’s first mention in 1705 to the Anglophone scholarship of the early twentieth century.

Tom Shippey provides both a contextual introduction and a guide to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scholarship which generated these Beowulf commentaries. The book is a vital document for the study of one of the major texts of ‘the Northern renaissance’, in which completely unknown poems and even languages were brought to the attention first of the learned world and then of popular culture. It also acts as a valuable guide to the development of nationalist and racist sentiment, beginning romantically and ending with World War and attempted genocide.

Fundamentals of Radiation Materials Science: Metals and Alloys
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 827 | 2007-08 | ISBN 3540494715 | PDF | 30 MB

Radiation Materials Science teaches readers the fundamentals of the effects of radiation on metals and alloys. When energetic particles strike a solid, numerous processes occur that can change the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Metals and alloys represent an important class of materials that, by virtue of their use in nuclear reactor cores, are subject to intense radiation fields.

Radiation causes metals and alloys to swell, distort, blister, harden, soften and deform. This textbook and reference covers the basics of particle-atom interaction for a range of particle types, the amount and spatial extent of the resulting radiation damage, the physical effects of irradiation and the changes in mechanical behavior of irradiated metals and alloys. Concepts are developed systematically and quantitatively, supported by examples, references for further reading and problems at the end of each chapter. Beyond addressing students enrolling for a materials sciences or nuclear engineering degree, the book will benefit professionals in laboratories, reactor manufacturers and specialists working in the utility industry.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
English | Heinemann Educational Publishers 1989 | ISBN: 0435123432 | 218 Pages | PDF | 1 Mb

One of a series of top-quality fiction for schools. Charlie Gordon, who desperately wants to be able to read and write, undergoes a brain operation which dramatically increases his intelligence. But can his emotional development keep pace with the intellectual?

Daniel Keyes wrote little SF but is highly regarded for one classic, Flowers for Algernon.

As a 1959 novella it won a Hugo Award; the 1966 novel-length expansion won a Nebula. The Oscar-winning movie adaptation Charly (1968) also spawned a 1980 Broadway musical.
Following his doctor’s instructions, engaging simpleton Charlie Gordon tells his own story in semi-literate “progris riports.” He dimly wants to better himself, but with an IQ of 68 can’t even beat the laboratory mouse Algernon at maze-solving:

I dint feel bad because I watched Algernon and I lernd how to finish the amaze even if it takes me along time.
I dint know mice were so smart.

Algernon is extra-clever thanks to an experimental brain operation so far tried only on animals. Charlie eagerly volunteers as the first human subject. After frustrating delays and agonies of concentration, the effects begin to show and the reports steadily improve: “Punctuation, is? fun!” But getting smarter brings cruel shocks, as Charlie realizes that his merry “friends” at the bakery where he sweeps the floor have all along been laughing at him, never with him. The IQ rise continues, taking him steadily past the human average to genius level and beyond, until he’s as intellectually alone as the old, foolish Charlie ever was–and now painfully aware of it. Then, ominously, the smart mouse Algernon begins to deteriorate…

Flowers for Algernon is a timeless tear-jerker with a terrific emotional impact. –David Langford

Death Ritual in Late Imperial and Modern China (Studies on China, Vol.
University of California Press | 349 pages | 1990 | ISBN: 0520071298 | PDF | 1.2 mb

During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts.

This volume, comprised of essays by both anthropologists and historians, furthers this important discussion by examining the role of death rituals in the unification of Chinese culture.

Julius Caesar was one of the most ambitious and successful politicians of the late Roman Republic, and his short but bloody conquest of the Celtic tribes led to the establishment of the Roman province of Gaul (modern France). Caesar’s commentaries on his Gallic Wars provide us with the most detailed surviving eyewitness account of a campaign from antiquity.

In this book, Kate Gilliver makes use of this firsthand account and other surviving evidence to consider the importance of the Gallic Wars in the context of the collapse of the Roman Republic and its slide toward civil war.

Alien Chic: Posthumanism and the Other Within
Routledge | 208 pages | 2004 | ISBN: 0415310237 | PDF | 2 mb

Alien Chic sets out to provide a cultural history of the alien since the 1950s, asking why our attitudes to aliens have changed from fear to affection, and what this can tell us about how we now see ourselves and others.

The author begins by exploring our relationship with the concept of aliens, primarily through films, including Invaders from Mars, Mars Attacks and Mission to Mars.

He then progresses to ideas of humanism and what makes us human, taking in the works of thinkers such as Descartes, Barthes, Freud, and Derrida.

The book then considers the concept of posthumanism in an age in which the lines between what is human and what is non-human are increasingly blurred by advances in science and technology, for example cloning and genetic engineering, and the development of AI and cyborgs. This leads to the question of whether our embracing of all things ‘alien’ stems from a need to reaffirm ourselves as “human.”

Written in a clear and engaging style, Alien Chic is an original and thought-provoking contribution to the study of posthumanism.

Partitions: Reshaping States and Minds (Routledge Studies in Geopolitics)
Routledge | 176 pages | 2006 | ISBN: 0415348021 | PDF | 1.2 mb

The partition of the Indian sub-continent, the collapse of the Soviet Union and erstwhile Yugoslavia, the reunification of Germany, the continuing feud between the two Koreas, the Irish peace process, the case of Israel/Palestine and the lingering division of Cyprus have together fuelled new thinking on the strategy and acts of partitioning countries, states, nations and continuities.

They have also given rise to a huge body of literature. However, studies of partitions have usually focused on individual cases. This innovative volume uses a comparative analysis to fill the gap in partition studies and examines cross-cutting issues such as:

A· Violence
A· State formation and state building
A· Regional politics
A· Union and regional unification
A· Peace policies
A· Transitional strategies
A· Geopolitics
A· Historical experiences of de-colonization and transition

Forms of violence and violent transition are worthy of analysis in their own right; the impact of various forms of violence on current politics, such as ethnological and territorial conflicts or religious pogroms, is not confined to a locality that witnesses the partition of polity - its impact is global. And as there is a strong link between partition, local violence and globalisation, there is a real need for a cutting-edge comparative framework that goes beyond area-centric readings but is gender sensitive, and sums up the experiences and implications of partition.

This book will of great interest to historians, political scientists, philosophers, policy-makers, international relations experts and peace building institutions and practitioners, and political scientists.

Idith Zertal “Israel’s Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood (Cambridge Middle East Studies)”
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2005 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0521850967 | PDF | 1.4 M
B
The ghost of the Holocaust is ever present in Israel, in the lives and nightmares of the survivors and in the absence of the victims. In this compelling and disturbing analysis, Idith Zertal, a leading member of the new generation of revisionist historians in Israel, considers the ways Israel has used the memory of the Holocaust in order to define and legitimise its existence and politics. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the author exposes the pivotal role of the Holocaust in Israel’s public sphere, in its project of nation building, its politics of power, and in its perception of the conflict with the Palestinians. She argues that the centrality of the Holocaust has led to a culture of death and victimhood which permeates Israel’s society and self image. This penetrating book offers an entirely new perspective on Israel, its history and the construction of national identity.

Robert Wichers, “Theory of Individual Behavior”
Academic Press | 1996-01-15 | ISBN: 0127484507 | 209 pages | PDF | 10,2 Mb

A Theory of Individual Behavior dispels the notion that individuals act as rational agents and strives to capture idiosyncratic humanness through rigorous mathematics. Wichers describes a version of economic behavior that is more comprehensive and satisfying than neoclassical models yet still consistent with the usual aggregated concepts that form the basis of applied microeconomics.
Written in an accessible and convincing style, A Theory of Individual Behavior discusses innovative material in a format that encourages classroom use. All chapters have questions at their conclusions, and there is a strong emphasis on testable results. The book contains a short review of mathematical models and discussion of received microeconomic theory, as well as summaries at the ends of chapters and many examples and illustrations.

Key Features
* Dispels the notion that individuals act as rational agents while capturing idiosyncratic human behavior through rigorous mathematics
* Presents an innovative approach to the evolution of microeconomic theory
* Promotes advances in behavioral theories in the social sciences, including psychology and sociology
* Delivers an accessible style with a strong emphasis on testable results

H. Bouchiat, Y. Gefen, S. Gueron, G. Montambaux, J. Dalibard, “Nanophysics: Coherence and Transport”
Elsevier Science | 2005-09-29 | ISBN: 0444520546 | 640 pages | PDF | 6,1 Mb

The developments of nanofabrication in the past years have enabled the design of electronic systems that exhibit spectacular signatures of quantum coherence. Nanofabricated quantum wires and dots containing a small number of electrons are ideal experimental playgrounds for probing electron-electron interactions and their interplay with disorder. Going down to even smaller scales, molecules such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes or hydrogen molecules can now be inserted in nanocircuits.
Measurements of transport through a single chain of atoms have been performed as well. Much progress has also been made in the design and fabrication of superconducting and hybrid nanostructures, be they normal/superconductor or ferromagnetic/superconductor. Quantum coherence is then no longer that of individual electronic states, but rather that of a superconducting wavefunction of a macroscopic number of Cooper pairs condensed in the same quantum mechanical state. Beyond the study of linear response regime, the physics of non-equilibrium transport (including non-linear transport, rectification of a high frequency electric field as well as shot noise) has received much attention, with significant experimental and theoretical insights. All these quantities exhibit very specific signatures of the quantum nature of transport, which cannot be obtained from basic conductance measurements.

Basic concepts and analytical tools needed to understand this new physics are presented in a series of theoretical fundamental courses, in parallel with more phenomenological ones where physics is discussed in a less formal way and illustrated by many experiments.

· Electron-electron interactions in one-dimensional quantum transport
· Coulomb Blockade and Kondo physics in quantum dots
· Out of equilibrium noise and quantum transport
· Andreev reflection and subgap nonlinear transport in hybrid N/S nanosructures.
· Transport through atomic contacts
· Solid state Q-bits
· Written by leading experts in the field, both theorists and experimentalists

The Social Brain: Evolution and Pathology
Wiley | 2003 | ISBN: 0470849606 | Pages: 472 | PDF | 2.68 MB

The human brain is, without doubt, the most complex organ ever evolved. But why did our ancestors grow such large and energetically “expensive” brains? Recent studies suggest that many brain functions evolved in primates and early humans due to the necessity to cope with an increasingly complex social environment. This ability, the so-called “social brain,” confers advantages. For example, social cleverness and aptitude enhance an individual’s chances of social success.
“Behaviour reading,” of facial expressions, gestures and vocalisations, allows us to anticipate or foresee how others might respond or act which has obvious advantages. In addition, apes and humans evolved the cognitive capacity of reading other’s minds, commonly referred to as having a “theory of mind”. Despite their advantages, such complex brain functions also have disadvantages. For example, it takes years or - in the case of human beings - a decade or more to acquire all the social knowledge, strategies, and rules indispensable for effectively managing social demands. Moreover, there are a number of psychiatric disorders in which the ontogenetic development, the correct application, or the preservation of social cognitive capacities during an individual’s lifetime have gone “awry”. Autism, ADHD, focal damage in certain brain regions, endogenous psychoses, personality disorders, and dementia, share the common feature of compromised social functioning in the affected individual. This book provides a concise overview of the evolution, development, and pathology of the human social brain and explores the psychiatric disorders that can result when that social brain is impaired. Integrates several key disciplines involved in the understanding of the human brain, how it evolved, its role in social interaction and psychiatric disorders. Appeals across a range of disciplines from psychiatry and neuropsychiatry to basic neuroscience and evolutionary biology. Brings together the latest research from eminent international researchers.

Science, Evolution, and Creationism
National Academies Press | 2008-12-31 | ISBN: 0309105862 | Pages: 88 | PDF | 2.82 MB

How did life evolve on Earth? The answer to this question can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. Although evolution provides credible and reliable answers, polls show that many people turn away from science, seeking other explanations with which they are more comfortable.

In the book Science, Evolution, and Creationism, a group of experts assembled by the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine explain the fundamental methods of science, document the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, and evaluate the alternative perspectives offered by advocates of various kinds of creationism, including “intelligent design.” The book explores the many fascinating inquiries being pursued that put the science of evolution to work in preventing and treating human disease, developing new agricultural products, and fostering industrial innovations. The book also presents the scientific and legal reasons for not teaching creationist ideas in public school science classes.

Mindful of school board battles and recent court decisions, Science, Evolution, and Creationism shows that science and religion should be viewed as different ways of understanding the world rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other and that the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith. For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to understand the basis of evolutionary science, this publication will be an essential resource.

Life’s Origin: The Beginnings of Biological Evolution
University of California Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0520233913 | Pages: 224 | PDF | 2.75 MB

Always a controversial and compelling topic, the origin of life on Earth was considered taboo as an area of inquiry for science as recently as the 1950s. Since then, however, scientists working in this area have made remarkable progress, and an overall picture of how life emerged is coming more clearly into focus. We now know, for example, that the story of life’s origin begins not on Earth, but in the interiors of distant stars.
This book brings a summary of current research and ideas on life’s origin to a wide audience. The contributors, all of whom received the Oparin/Urey Gold Medal of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life, are luminaries in the fields of chemistry, paleobiology, and astrobiology, and in these chapters they discuss their life’s work: understanding the what, when, and how of the early evolution of life on Earth. Presented in nontechnical language and including a useful glossary of scientific terms, Life’s Origin gives a state-of-the-art encapsulation of the fascinating work now being done by scientists as they begin to characterize life as a natural outcome of the evolution of cosmic matter.

Joseph Cirincione “Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons”
Publisher: Columbia University Press 2007 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0231135106 | PDF | 1.4 MB

Since their inception, nuclear weapons have multiplied at an alarming rate, leaving everyone from policymakers to concerned citizens wondering what it will take to slow, stop, or even reverse their spread. With clarity and expertise, Joseph Cirincione presents an even-handed look at the history of nuclear proliferation and an optimistic vision of its future, providing a comprehensive survey of the wide range of critical perspectives.

Cirincione begins with the first atomic discoveries of the 1930s and covers the history of their growth all the way to current crisis with Iran. He unravels the science, strategy, and politics that have fueled the development of nuclear stockpiles and increased the chance of a nuclear terrorist attack. He also explains why many nations choose not to pursue nuclear weapons and pulls from this the outlines of a solution to the world’s proliferation problem: a balance of force and diplomacy, enforcement and engagement that yields a steady decrease in these deadly arsenals.

Though nuclear weapons have not been used in war since August 1945, there is no guarantee this good fortune will continue. A unique blend of history, theory, and security analysis, Bomb Scare is an engaging text that not only supplies the general reader and student with a clear understanding of this issue but also provides a set of tools policymakers and scholars can use to prevent the cataclysmic consequences of another nuclear attack.

Alien Species and Evolution: The Evolutionary Ecology of Exotic Plants, Animals, Microbes, and Interacting Native Species (Repost)
Island Press | 2004 | ISBN: 1559630094 | Pages: 400 | PDF | 1.14 MB

In Alien Species and Evolution, biologist George W. Cox reviews and synthesizes emerging information on the evolutionary changes that occur in plants, animals, and microbial organisms when they colonize new geographical areas, and on the evolutionary responses of the native species with which alien species interact.
The book is broad in scope, exploring information across a wide variety of taxonomic groups, trophic levels, and geographic areas. It examines theoretical topics related to rapid evolutionary change and supports the emerging concept that species introduced to new physical and biotic environments are particularly prone to rapid evolution. The author draws on examples from all parts of the world and all major ecosystem types, and the variety of examples used gives considerable insight into the patterns of evolution that are likely to result from the massive introduction of species to new geographic regions that is currently occurring around the globe.
Alien Species and Evolution is the only state-of-the-art review and synthesis available of this critically important topic, and is an essential work for anyone concerned with the new science of invasion biology or the threats posed by invasive species.

The Biological Roots of Human Nature: Forging Links between Evolution and Behavior
Oxford University Press | 1994 | ISBN 0195093933 | Pages: 176 | PDF | 8.02 MB

In this stimulating book, Goldsmith argues that biology has a great deal to say that should be of interest to social scientists, historians, philosophers, and humanists in general. He believes that anyone studying the social behavior of humans must take into consideration both proximate cause–the physiology, biochemistry, and social mechanisms of behavior–and ultimate cause–how the behavior came to exist in evolutionary time.
Goldsmith, a neurobiologist, draws examples from neurobiology, psychology, and ethology (behavioral evolution). The result is a work that overcomes many of the misconceptions that have hindered the rich contributions the biological sciences have to offer concerning the evolution of human society, behavior, and sense of identity. Among the key topics addressed are the nature of biological explanation, the relationship between genes and behavior, those aspects of behavior most likely to respond to natural selection, the relationship between evolution and learning, and some probable modes of interaction between cultural and biological evolution. By re-examining the role of biological explanation in the domain of social development, the author has significantly advanced a more well-rounded view of human evolution and shed new light on the perennial question of what it means to be human. His book will appeal to biologists, social scientists, traditional humanists, and interested general readers.

The Genesis of Grammar: A Reconstruction
Oxford University Press | 2007 | ISBN: 0199227772 | Pages: 352 | PDF | 1.70 MB

“This book reconstructs what the earliest grammars might have been and shows how they could have led to the languages of modern humankind. “Like other biological phenomena, language cannot be fully understood without reference to its evolution, whether proven or hypothesized,” wrote Talmy Givon in 2002. As the languages spoken 8,000 years ago were typologically much the same as they are today and as no direct evidence exists for languages before then, evolutionary linguists are at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts in biology.
Bernd Heine and Tania Kuteva seek to overcome this obstacle by combining grammaticalization theory, one of the main methods of historical linguistics, with work in animal communication and human evolution. The questions they address include: do the modern languages derive from one ancestral language or from more than one? What was the structure of language like when it first evolved? And how did the properties associated with modern human languages arise, in particular syntax and the recursive use of language structures? The authors proceed on the assumption that if language evolution is the result of language change then the reconstruction of the former can be explored by deploying the processes involved in the latter. Their measured arguments and crystal-clear exposition will appeal to all those interested in the evolution of language, from advanced undergraduates to linguists, cognitive scientists, human biologists, and archaeologists.

The study of how language varies in social context, and how it can be analyzed and accounted for, are the key goals of sociolinguistics. Until now, however, the actual tools and methods have been largely passed on through ‘word of mouth’, rather than being formally documented. This is the first comprehensive ‘how to’ guide to the formal analysis of sociolinguistic variation.
It shows step-by-step how the analysis is carried out, leading the reader through every stage of a research project from start to finish. Topics covered include fieldwork, data organization and management, analysis and interpretation, presenting research results, and writing up a paper. Practical and informal, the book contains all the information needed to conduct a fully-fledged sociolinguistic investigation, and includes exercises, checklists, references and insider tips. It is set to become an essential resource for students, researchers and fieldworkers embarking on research projects in sociolinguistics.

Mackenzie, “New Buddhist Movements in Thailand”
Routledge | 2007-02-23 | ISBN: 0415408695 | 253 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Vastly different in belief and practice, two new Buddhist religious movements in Thailand, namely the Wat Phra Dhammakaya and Santi Asoke emerged in Thailand in the 1970s at a time of political uncertainty, social change and increasing dissatisfaction with the Thai Sangha and its leadership. Examining these movements, which represent two distinctive trends within contemporary Buddhism in Thailand, this book explains why they have come into being, what they have reacted against and what they offer to their members.
Both movements have a wide membership outside of Thailand, with temples in the UK, Europe, USA, Japan and Australia. “New Buddhist Movements in Thailand” will appeal to those interested in Buddhism’s confrontation with modernity, and its responses to evolving social issues in Thailand, as well as to those interested in new religions in the broader context of religious studies.

A Developmental Model of Borderline Personality Disorder: Understanding Variations in Course and Outcome
By Patricia Hoffman Judd, Thomas H. McGlashan
American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc.| 249 pages | 2002 | ISBN: 0880485159 | PDF | 1mb

Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are among the most challenging patients for clinicians to treat. Their behaviors and emotions can shift abruptly. As a result, these patients can seem like therapeutic moving targets, and improvement can be vexingly slow. A Developmental Model of Borderline Personality Disorder is a landmark work on this difficult condition.
The book emphasizes a developmental approach to BPD based on an in-depth study of inpatients at Chestnut Lodge in Rockville, Maryland, during the years 1950 through 1975 and the authorsA thirty years of clinical and supervisory experience. Using information gleaned from the original clinical notes and follow-up studies, the authors present four intriguing case studies to chart the etiology, long-term course, and clinical manifestations of BPD. With three main parts that cover theory, case examples, and practical strategies for treatment, A Developmental Model of Borderline Personality Disorder -Introduces the reader to a multidimensional and integrated etiologic model of BPD to inform treatment -Helps clinicians develop the understanding and empathy needed to deal with difficult patient behaviors -Gives strategies for designing psychotherapy in tandem with psychosocial services to help patients with BPD improve or sustain functioning in the community A Developmental Model of Borderline Personality Disorder combines rich clinical case descriptions with an integrated theoretical model that captures the complexities of BPD. The first resource to chart BPD over the long term in such depth, this book is a first-rate clinical resource that reads like a novel, illuminating the disorder to help interpret its causes and course. It will inspire and encourage clinicians, along with patients and their family members, to strive for success in treating this difficult disease.

Scott Martineau shows that real, sustainable happiness and personal growth can only come about when you do powerful inner work, challenging old beliefs, habits, and patterns that no longer serve you. The Power of You! addresses the needs of today’s busy professionals with tools, techniques, skills, and a philosophy that does away with short-term fixes and cheap emotional highs. Together, these tools and tactics provide a comprehensive guide to ultimate balance, happiness, and wealth for anyone who wants to understand what it takes to succeed and be happy in the twenty-first century.
The Power of You! is a self-help book like no other. In addition to its practical applications, it’s packed with inspirational and practical advice from renowned contributors like Dr. Nathaniel Branden, Arthur Joseph, Joe Vitale, and Jack Canfield. You’ll not only have the tools and guidance you need to improve your life, but you’ll also find here all the inspiration and motivation you need to get started now.
The first step to lasting personal change is consciousness. This is not the fuzzy spiritual consciousness one finds in most self-help books, but the practical, honest self-awareness that sets the stage for long-term improvement. Only through honest self-evaluation can real, lasting personal change occur. Whereas most self-help books present a vision of personal growth based on short-term changes, The Power of You! shows you how to create sustainable long-term change utilizing tools and knowledge not found anywhere else.
If you want to achieve the highest possible level of balance, happiness, and success, The Power of You! paves the way and shows you how to start your journey today.

On May 6, 1937, the celebrated airship Hindenburg caught fire during its landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 people.
A German zeppelin, the Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built. It made numerous transatlantic journeys, offering passengers comfort and luxury during the years of the Great Depression. What was supposed to be a routine landing on the first transatlantic flight of the season ended in tragedy. Present at the site were many journalists, who were on hand to record the tragedy for the entire world to see, etching the indelible images on the minds of generations to come. The Hindenburg disaster was so great it effectively ended the practice of using dirigibles for passenger use. In The Hindenburg Disaster of 1937, read about what caused this tragedy.

Thomas W. Golden, Steven L. Skalak, Mona M. Clayton, “A Guide to Forensic Accounting Investigation”
Wiley | 2005-10-28 | ISBN: 0471469076 | 576 pages | PDF | 13,2 MB

Today’s demanding marketplace expects auditors to take responsibility for fraud detection, and this expectation is buoyed by such legislation as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Auditing Standard (SAS99), which requires increased performance on the part of the auditor to find material financial statement fraud.
Written by three of the best forensic accountants and auditors, Thomas W. Golden, Steven L. Skalak, and Mona M. Clayton, The Auditor’s Guide to Forensic Accounting Investigation explores exactly what assurances auditors should provide and suggests alternatives to giving the capital markets more of what they are requiring-greater assurances that the financial statements they rely upon for investment decisions are free of material error, including fraud. It reveals the surprising complexity of fraud deterrence, detection, and investigation, and offers a step-by-step approach to understanding that complexity.
From basic techniques to intricate tests and technologies, The Auditor’s Guide to Forensic Accounting Investigation is a rich, multifaceted, and fascinating answer to the need for wiser, savvier, better-trained financial statement and internal auditors who are thoroughly familiar with fraud detection techniques and the intricate, demanding work of forensic accounting specialists.

Karen R. Polenske, “The Economic Geography of Innovation”
Cambridge University Press | 2007-04-30 | ISBN: 052186528X | 382 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

This critical addition to the growing literature on innovation contains extensive analyses of the institutional and spatial aspects of innovation. Written by leading scholars in the fields of economic geography, innovation studies, planning, and technology policy, the fourteen chapters cover conceptual and measurement issues in innovation and relevant technology policies. The contributors examine how different institutional factors facilitate or hamper the flows of information and knowledge within and across firms, regions, and nations.
In particular, they provide insights into the roles of important institutions such as gender and culture which are often neglected in the innovation literature, and demonstrate the key role which geography plays in the innovation process. Institutions and policy measures which support entrepreneurship and cluster development are also discussed. The result is a comparative picture of the institutional factors underlying innovation systems across the globe.

Ashoka Mody, “Foreign Direct Investment and the World Economy”
Routledge | 2007-02-07 | ISBN: 0415701929 | 272 pages | PDF | 2,1 MB

Asking the question of whether Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is “integrating” the world economy, this comprehensive volume consists of an overview of current FDI research.
While the term “integrating” is often used, the real test should be whether FDI is instrumental in bringing per capita incomes across countries closer together. By this yardstick, the answer is no. The forces driving FDI are strong; they lead it to flow to countries with attractive investment conditions and, moreover, investors have a tendency to follow each other.

It is in such settings that FDI appears to have the most beneficial effect in raising growth. At the same time, the surge of foreign investment flows in the 1990s did not raise investment rates in developing economies: in particular, the relationship between FDI and domestic investment fell sharply between the 1980s and the 1990s, explained possibly by the increasing portfolio nature of FDI.

We are on the verge of a crisis in mental health. Over the next 30 years the number of chronically mentally ill people 55 years of age and older will double.

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. | 216 pages | 2003-04 | ISBN: 1585620114 | PDF | 1mb

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and other hyperthermic conditions are rare complications of antipsychotic drugs that can cause discomfort, disability, and even death. As a result, every psychiatrist, physician, and mental health care professional needs to understand and identify these disorders in time to prevent a fatal outcome. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Related Conditions is an important tool for clinicians, outlining a framework for understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing these little-understood disorders.
This new edition extensively updates and revises the first edition, integrating an explosion of findings that have occurred since the earlier edition was published in 1989. In addition to NMS, chapters focus on antipsychotic drug-related heatstroke, hyperthermia associated with other neuropsychiatric drugs, and malignant catatonia, as well as -A new chapter on serotonin syndrome, the first comprehensive review to appear in the world literature. With the proliferation of serotonergic drugs such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), the incidence of adverse reactions is on the rise, and this information will help practitioners spot early warning signals. -Important information on thermoregulatory mechanisms to help clinicians understand the pathogenesis of hyperthermic conditions. With an understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying these conditions, practitioners will develop more effective strategies for recognition, diagnosis, and treatment. Written by four internationally renowned authorities on NMS, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Related Conditions is the most comprehensive resource on the subject in existence. With nearly 850 citations in the reference section, it is a must for researchersAand for practitioners who need a practical approach based on the most current science.

Frank Cass | 352 pages | 2004-08-31 | ISBN: 0415351162 | PDF | 1.3mb

This book is an edited translation of the Soviet Staff study of the Red Army’s Belorussian operation in the summer of 1944, which was unprecedented in terms of its scale, scope and strategic consequences. The Soviet Stavka had planned a campaign consisting of a series of massive operations spanning the entire Soviet-German front. Four powerful fronts (army groups) operated under close Stavka (high command) control. Over 1.8 million troops accomplished a feat unique in the history of the Red Army: the defeat and dismemberment of an entire German army group.

This book is a translation of the Soviet General Staff Study No 18, a work originally classified as secret and intended to educate Soviet commanders and staff officers. The operation is presented from the Soviet perspective, in the words of the individuals who planned and orchestrated the plans. A map supplement, including terrain maps, is provided to illustrate the flow of the operation in greater detail.

The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession By Peter L. Bernstein
Publisher: Wiley 2004 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0470091002 | PDF (HQ) | 37.7 MB

Incorporating myth, history and contemporary investigation, Bernstein tells the story of how human beings have become intoxicated, obsessed, enriched, impoverished, humbled and proud for the sake of gold. From the past to the future, Bernstein’s portrayal of gold is intimately linked to the character of humankind.

In the first chapter of his book The Power of Gold, Peter Bernstein quotes the immortal words of King Ferdinand of Spain, who once declared: “Get gold, humanely if possible, but at all hazards–get gold.” As ensuing chapters reveal, man’s obsession with finding, keeping, selling, and evaluating gold has rarely been a humane adventure and has always been a hazardous one. Digging deeply into history’s treasury of torrid tales and complicated deals, Bernstein examines gold’s lure with an economist’s passion for quantification, a historian’s eye for detail, and a sociologist’s feel for its consequence.

Useless as a metal for most practical purposes, gold originally held value as decoration and adornment for the wealthy ancients. Later, it was minted and used as coins by the Lydians in 635 B.C. That, Bernstein goes on to reveal, put gold on a path from the concrete to the abstract, from evidence of wealth to the standard behind wealth in other forms, and finally to the tenuous place it holds in today’s virtual world of credit cards and computer chips. Along the way lie wild stories of lives destroyed, fortunes won and quickly lost, and values transformed: the massacre by the Spanish invader Pizarro, whose small band of men decimated the formidable army of Emperor Atahualpa, “the Inca,” through more duplicity than military skill; the roller-coaster ride of the 1890s, when the rippling impact of the Baring Brothers bank crisis in Britain sent the isolated United States into an economic meltdown; and the surplus of the Gold Coast natives of Timbuktu, who willingly traded their gold for much-needed salt, ounce for ounce.

Bernstein is a great storyteller. His accounts of mythological, ancient, and recent history ooze with odd and entertaining details that bring each successive tale of obsession to life. If not for his skill, the sheer volume of events collected here–presented more anecdotally than systematically–would be overwhelming. In the end, though, it is Bernstein’s fascination with the power of gold to entangle and entrap its possessors, and its ultimate ability to change the course of entire eras and civilizations, that makes his book as fascinating as it is informative. A dense but entertaining read. –S. Ketchum

William Inboden”Religion and American Foreign Policy, 1945-1960: The Soul of Containment”
Cambridge University Press | 368 pages | 2008-08-25 | ISBN: 0521513472 | PDF | 2mb

The Cold War was in many ways a religious war. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower and other American leaders believed that human rights and freedoms were endowed by God, that God had called the United States to defend liberty in the world, and that Soviet communism was especially evil because of its atheism and its enmity to religion. Along with security and economic concerns, these religious convictions also helped determine both how the United States defined the enemy and how it fought the conflict. Meanwhile, American Protestant churches failed to seize the moment. Internal differences over theology and politics, and resistance to cooperation with Catholics and Jews, hindered Protestant leaders domestically and internationally. Frustrated by these internecine disputes, Truman and Eisenhower attempted instead to construct a new civil religion. This public theology was used to mobilize domestic support for Cold War measures, to determine the strategic boundaries of containment, to appeal to people of all religious faiths around the world to unite against communism, and to undermine the authority of communist governments within their own countries.

Harold Lewis, “Bids, Tenders & Proposals: Winning Business through Best Practice”

Kogan Page | 2007-05-01 | ISBN: 074944973X | 278 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

* Huge scope - covers all aspects of tender writing for public sector, private sector and research funding * Expert guidance from a specialist who has written over 200 successful tenders and proposals * Highly practical approach - based on examples drawn from actual bids and tenders With more and more corporations opting for “preferred supplier” lists, bids and tenders have become a fact of business life. For the small or medium sized corporation without a specialist bids-and-tenders team, the research unit, or the university team, bid preparation can take great amounts of senior management time. Here’s where this book comes in: practical and written in an accessible style, it uses examples and checklists to explain how to create bids that are outstanding in both technical quality and value for money, bids that stand a good chance of being successful. Lewis provides “best-practice” advice on every step in the process, including: Bidding for public sector contracts; tendering for the private sector and for research projects; analyzing client requirements; managing, resourcing and researching the bid; developing and writing the bid; defining outputs and deliverables; communicating added value; describing professional experience; producing and submitting tenders; stating the price; understanding tender evaluation; and making presentations.

Paul Busch, Pekka J. Lahti, Peter Mittelstaedt, “The Quantum Theory of Measurement”
Springer-Verlag Telos | 1996-06 | ISBN: 3540613552 | 181 pages | PDF | 10,5 MB

The amazing accuracy in verifying quantum effects experimentally has recently renewed interest in quantum mechanical measurement theory. In this book the authors give within the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics a systematic exposition of the quantum theory of measurement. Their approach includes the concepts of unsharp objectification and of nonunitary transformations needed for a unifying description of various detailed investigations.
The book addresses advanced students and researchers in physics and philosophy of science. In this second edition Chaps. II-IV have been substantially rewritten. In particular, an insolubility theorem for the objectification problem has been formulated in full generality, which includes unsharp object observables as well as unsharp pointers.

Betty Edwards: The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Pages:320 | PDF | Tarcher; Rev Exp edition (August 30, 1999) | ISBN: 0874774241 | 21.04 MB

When Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was first published in 1979, it hit the New York Times bestseller list within two weeks and stayed there for more than a year. In 1989, when Dr. Betty Edwards revised the book, it went straight to the Times list again. Now Dr. Edwards celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her classic book with a second revised edition.

Over the last decade, Dr. Edwards has refined her material through teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars. Truly The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this edition includes:
* the very latest developments in brain research;
* new material on using drawing techniques in the corporate world and in education;
* instruction on self-expression through drawing;
* an updated section on using color; and
* detailed information on using the five basic skills of drawing for problem solving.

Translated into thirteen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the world’s most widely used drawing-instruction guide. People from just about every walk of life–artists, students, corporate executives, architects, real estate agents, designers, engineers–have applied its revolutionary approach to problem solving. The Los Angeles Times said it best: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is “not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing . . . should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates.”

Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy: From Request to Report
By Bob Bury, Catherine Dickinson, Karen Sheard, Penny Thorley
Informa HealthCare | 256 pages | 2007-12-26 | ISBN: 1841845892 | PDF | 1mb

In nuclear medicine, as in all areas of imaging, the boundaries between the responsibilities of different professional groups are becoming blurred. The strength of this team of authors is that it includes representatives of all the specialties likely to be involved in providing a nuclear cardiology service, and interest can be expected from radiographers and imaging technicians, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians, clinical scientists and cardiologists.
Although it will be predominantly a ‘how to’ book, it will also act as an ideal introduction to MPS for junior radiologists, cardiologists and nuclear medicine physicians, as well as trainee clinical scientists, radiographers and imaging technicians.

Serap Aksoy”Transgenesis and the Management of Vector-Borne Disease (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)”
Springer | 172 pages | 2008-03-19 | ISBN: 0387782249 | PDF | 1mb

Parasitic, bacterial and viral agents continue to challenge the welfare of humans, livestock, wild life and plants worldwide. The public health impact and financial consequences of these diseases are particularly hard on the already overburdened economies of developing countries especially in the tropics. Many of these disease agents utilize insect hosts (vectors) to achieve their transmission to mammals.
In the past, these diseases were largely controlled by insecticide-based vector reduction strategies. Now, many of these diseases have reemerged in the tropics, recolonizing their previous range, and expanding into new territories previously not considered to be endemic. Habitat change, irrigation practices, atmospheric and climate change, insecticide and drug resistance as well as increases in global tourism, human traffic and commercial activities, have driven the reemergence and spread of vector borne diseases. While these diseases can be controlled through interventions aimed at both their vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, no effective vaccines exist, and only limited therapeutic prospects are available for their control in mammalian hosts. Molecular technologies such as transgenesis, which is the subject of this book, stand to increase the toolbox and benefit disease management strategies.

Darin D. Dougherty, Scott L. Rauch”Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research: Contemporary Strategies”
American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. | 417 pages | 2001-05 | ISBN: 0880488441| PDF | 4mb

The past decade has witnessed tremendous progress in psychiatric neuroimaging research. Investigators have developed, in tandem with significant advances in imaging technology, innovative strategies for exploiting the awesome potential of these new tools. This volume brings you up to date on the latest developments by providing insight into the methodology of experimental design of the numerous neuroimaging articles being published in todayAs peer-reviewed journals.
Revealing the remarkable wealth of neuroimagingAs potential contributions to psychiatry, 49 distinguished contributors use accounts of their own research to illustrate the power of particular paradigmatic techniques. These techniques hold promise not only for delineating pathophysiology and advancing neuroscience, but also for yielding discoveries of direct clinical significance, such as diagnostic testing, predictors of treatment response, and new medications. Focused specifically on applications in psychiatry, these chapters are uniquely organized around experimental paradigms rather than psychiatric disorders: -Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and characterize subtle, easily overlooked abnormalities in schizophrenia and schizotypal personality disorder. -Testing specific hypotheses regarding the functional integrity of implicated neural systems within the brain as part of cognitive activation studies of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). -Assessing the roles of the amygdala and striatum in anxiety disorders, including masked stimuli and other task manipulation methods to assay nonconscious brain activity. -Investigating the neural correlates of psychiatric symptoms in anxiety disorders, using script-driven imagery and in vivo exposure to experimentally manipulate study conditions. -Capturing the often elusive symptoms of hallucinations and psychomotor tics using innovative imaging techniques. -Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate how the brain regulates mood. Other fascinating topics include using positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to discern the therapeutic mechanisms of psychotropic medications and enhance the development of new medications; integrating structural and functional imaging to treat major depression; using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to quantify brain concentrations of exogenous compounds; using MRI to visualize circuits implicated in developmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety, including ground-breaking studies of children; using functional MRI in animals and its applications in psychiatric research; and exploring the use of neuroimaging methods to investigate genetic contributions to normal cognitive function. Specialists and general clinicians alike will find much of interest in this definitive look at the exciting developments in neuroimaging today and how they can enhance our understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders. This comprehensive text with its extensive illustrations and annotations will also prove a welcome addition to any course in the neurosciences.

Francine Prose, “Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them”
Harper Perennial | 2007-04-01 | ISBN: 0060777052 | 320 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB

Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose.
In Reading Like a Writer, Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers—Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov—and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot’s Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O’Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted.

Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart.

ShootSmarter - Digital On-Camera Flash Gaining Confidence and Control
Video Tutorial | 267mb | RS.COM & ES.COM (Interchangeable)

Better light quality, colour and exposure using any flash in AUTO, MANUAL or TTL exposure modes. In this video, we improve the light quality of the biggest troublemaker in the digital photo world, on-camera flash with digital expert Will Crockett. The good news is that we now have a wide variety of flash tools to make some terrific images quickly and profitably. But the bad news is that some of the digital camera and flash systems don’t quite work as advertised. So let’s take look at the problems most photographers face when shooting with on-camera flash, then a variety of solutions to fix or just deal with the problem and make the best photos possible.

“We’ve solved just about all of the on-camera flash problems by taking a completely different approach - working backwards. Choose the light quality you need FIRST, then let us show you the best, easiest, and smartest way to use it in your everyday work ” - Will Crockett

Chapter ONE:
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The first goal of this video is to guide you to the right way to use the tools you already have. The second goal is to show you how to create better quality light for all your OCF shooting situations. Both have their own series of problems we need to solve.

Chapter TWO:
CHOOSING LIGHT QUALITY
The end result (a nice picture) is much more important that how you got there, so let’s take a glimpse at what we can do as far as the look and feel of our OCFlash images so we can decide what type of photographic light quality we want.

Chapter THREE:
INDOORS vs. OUTDOORS
How ‘bout we take a quick review of the light quality choices we have for indoors and outdoors?

Chapter FOUR:
EXPOSURE ISSUES EXPOSED
No matter which type of light modifier we choose, we need to keep it in control with regard to exposure.

Chapter FIVE:
EXPOSURE MODES: A AA, TTL, AUTO, MANUAL
We have three basic types of controlling exposure in the OCFlash world: Manual, AUTO and TTL. Each has their place in professional photography, but where and when?

Chapter SIX:
TTL EXPOSURE MODES
There has been a TON of technology poured into the TTL systems in the past few years. Each new TTL camera and flash gets better and better, but we cannot rely on TTL to make all of our exposure decisions unless we discover where TTL fails. Here’s how to make your TTL system work better.

Chapter SEVEN:
MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE
Some photographers don’t have the patience nor tolerance for automated exposure systems that cause trouble. Instead, they take the old-school manual exposure route and shoot JPEGS with exposures as tight as a drum. We’ll show you how they do it.

Chapter EIGHT:
AUTO EXPOSURE MODE
Resting comfortably between TTL and manual exposure methods is auto exposure. Auto mode does a respectable job and is the cornerstone to many successful OCFlash shooters who rely on JPEG exposure tolerances for their bread and butter. Let’s take a closer look?

Chapter NINE:
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODE AND MODIFIER FOR YOU
Wow, TTL, AUTO, MANUAL modes, direct, diffused, bounce bounce+direct. How are you going to choose the right system for your OCFlash images? Let’s make it easy by narrowing down the choices you have to look at.

Chapter TEN:
HARDWARE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB[/b]
There is nothing worse to a photographer than not having the right tool for the job, or worse, having the wrong tool for the job. Here’s our top performing flashes and (in our opinion) the only ones you should be using.

Chapter ELEVEN:
SHOOTING VERTICAL IMAGES
We all need to flip between shooting horizontally and vertically. But once we get your flash and light modifiers set, how can we just turn them sideways and get good light? Here’s some tips.

Chapter TWELVE:
USING TWO LIGHTS
So many photographers ignore a second flash because they think it’s too much work and effortor it’s just not worth it, but let me show you some neat ideas for making your flash images so much more appealing than your competitions images?

Chapter THIRTEEN:
WIRELESS TRIGGERING
So how are we going to trigger these single and two light shots? Simple. We have a few different ways that work well.

Chapter FOURTEEN:
THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK
Keeping an eye on technology pays off.

Ralph Andrew Luken, Frank Van Rompaey, “Environment and Industry in Developing Countries:
Assessing the Adoption of Environmentally Sound Technology”
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing | 2007-07-07 | ISBN 1845421833 | PDF | 345 pages | 1.0 MB
This book is an outcome of a research project we initiated as part of UNIDO’s preparatory activities for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg, 2002). Our objective was to gain a better understanding of what motivates industry in developing countries to adopt environmentally sound technology (EST). We started the research by formulating a heuristic model of EST adoption derived from a review of the literature on technology diffusion and technological capabilities, and of empirical studies of EST adoption in developing countries. On the basis of this model we prepared a semi-structured questionnaire to be used in interviewing plant managers and key informants in three industrial sub-sectors in eight countries. We then contracted country teams to carry out the survey in each country in late 2001 and early 2002 and to provide background data on the country and the sub-sector investigated. On the basis of their findings, we wrote country chapters, analysed the survey data and identified policy implications and programme proposals that could accelerate the adoption of EST.

Empowerment Evaluation Principles in Practice
Publisher: The Guilford Press | 2004 | ISBN: 93851146 | PDF | 231 pages | 1.8 MB
What principles should guide an empowerment evaluation? And how can these principles actually be put into practice? One of the primary tasks in an empowerment evaluation (EE) is to increase the capacity of program stakeholders to plan, implement, and evaluate their own programs. This book presents the most current formulation of the 10 principles of EE and provides professionals and students with the tools to put these principles into practice. Through case studies of diverse evaluation projects–including community health foundation initiatives, school district programs, and a $15 million corporate program aimed at bridging the digital divide–the founder and leading proponents of EE clarify key concepts and discuss important lessons learned. Coverage includes how to balance program improvement efforts with accountability requirements; how EE can be used to guide standards-based work; how to use EE in a learning organization; the differences among empowerment, collaborative, and participatory evaluation; and much more.

John Mann, “Life Saving Drugs”

Royal Society of Chemistry | 2004-11-19 | ISBN: 0854046348 | 245 pages | PDF | 15,5 MB

In 1900 only a handful of drugs (morphine, quinine, aspirin etc) had genuine efficacy and recovery from infections was haphazard. Now there are literally thousands of drugs and life-threatening infections have been either overcome or much diminished. Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet describes the discovery and development of antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-cancer drugs. The book highlights the colourful characters behind the inventions and the huge improvements in quality of life and life-expectancy that these drugs have produced. Emphasis is given to the new drugs that have emerged as a result of knowledge of the human genome, and the ways in which the newer drugs are being designed to tackle disease, particularly cancer, at the genetic level. Chemical structures are provided for all of the key drugs and the book is well illustrated. Life-saving Drugs: the Elusive Magic Bullet can be read as a history of drug development during the past 100 years by those with only a passing knowledge of chemistry. For anyone entering the medical profession, pharmacy, or nursing, it will provide a superb basic knowledge of all drugs they are ever likely to meet, including their modes of action. For the chemist or medicinal chemist, it will provide the fundamental knowledge of life-saving drugs that they all should know. And for the non-scientist who wants to know about ’super-bugs’, SARS, Ebola, and all of the wonderful advances in treating cancer, it is illuminating and easy to read.

Philip N. Mulder, “A Controversial Spirit”
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002-04-18 | ISBN: 0195131630 | 248 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
A Controversial Spirit offers a new perspective on the origins and nature of southern evangelicalism. Most recent historians have focused on the differences between evangelicals and non-evangelicals. This has led to the perception that during the “Era of Awakenings” (mid-18th and early 19th century) American evangelicals constituted a united front. Philip N. Mulder dispels this illusion, by examining the internal dynamics of evangelicalism. He focuses on the relationships among the Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists who introduced the new religious mood to the South between 1740 and 1820. Although the denominations shared the goal of saving souls, he finds, they disagreed over the correct definition of true religion and conversion. The Presbyterians and Baptists subordinated the freedom, innovation and experience of the awakenings to their particular denominational concerns. The Methodists, on the other hand, were more aggressive and innovative advocates of the New Light awakenings. They broke through the insularity of the other two groups and revolutionized the religious culture of the emerging nation. The American Revolution exacerbated the growing competition and jealousy among the denominations by displacing their common enemy, the established Anglican church. Former dissenters now turned to face each other. Free religious competition was transformative, Mulder argues. The necessity of competing for converts forced the Presbyterians and Baptists out of their narrow confines. More importantly, however, competition compromised the Methodists and their New Light ideals. Methodists had presented themselves as an ecumenical alternative to the rigid and rancorous denominations of England and America. Now they turned away from their open message of salvation, and began using their distinctive characteristics to separate themselves from other denominations. The Methodists thus succumbed to the evangelical pattern set by others - a pattern of distinction, insularity, and divisive competition. Examining conversion narratives, worship, polity, and rituals, as well as more formal doctrinal statements in creeds and sermons, Mulder is able to provide a far more nuanced portrait of southern evangelicals than previously available, revealing the deep differences between denominations that the homogenization of religious history has until now obscured.

Ian Glass, “Revolutionaries of the Cosmos”
Oxford University Press, USA | 2006-01-19 | ISBN: 0198570996 | 332 pages | PDF | 6,1 MB
Galileo, Newton, Herschel, Huggins, Hale, Eddington, Shapley and Hubble: these astronomers applied ideas drawn from physics to astronomy and made dramatic changes to the world-pictures that they inherited. They showed that celestial objects are composed of the same materials as the earth and that they behave in the same way. They displaced successively the earth, the sun and finally the milky way galaxy from being the centre of the universe.

This book contains their biographies and outlines their greatest discoveries. Hard work, physical insight, desire for fame and a strong belief in the rightness of their own ideas were characteristics of all eight. Their often quirky personalities led them into bitter controversies with their contemporaries. But their successes arose from the outstanding clarity of their thoughts, their practical ability and their strong sense of direction in science.

Designing Interfaces Patterns for Effective Interaction Design
Author: Jenifer Tidwell | Publisher: O’reilly | 2005 | ISBN: 0596008031 | CHM | 352 pages | English | 9.3 MB

Overview

UI designers over the years have refined the art of interface design, evolving many best practices and reusable ideas. If you learn these, and understand why the best user interfaces work so well, you too can design engaging and usable interfaces with less guesswork and more confidence.

Designing Interfaces captures those best practices as design patterns — solutions to common design problems, tailored to the situation at hand. Each pattern contains practical advice that you can put to use immediately, plus a variety of examples illustrated in full color. You’ll get recommendations, design alternatives, and warnings
on when not to use them.

Each chapter’s introduction describes key design concepts that are often misunderstood, such as affordances, visual hierarchy, navigational distance, and the use of color. These give you a deeper understanding of why the patterns work, and how to apply them with more insight.

A book can’t design an interface for you — no foolproof design process is given here — but Designing Interfaces does give you concrete ideas that you can mix and recombine as you see fit. Experienced designers can use it as a sourcebook of ideas. Novice designers will find a roadmap to the world of interface and interaction design, with enough guidance to start using these patterns immediately.

Hacking vindicated! Within the computing, hobbyist, creative design, and invention communities, as elsewhere, hacking has always been a positive thing, but the media and the less than knowledgeable computer security community co-opted the term and the concept, and the media embraced it because it was easier to tell than the truth. But now the misnomer has been torn away by the honesty of a new filmmaker, Ashley Schwartau, who has taken the direct approach to getting at the truth. Observe and ask the people involved. And the truth looks more like students in engineering school and their adult counterparts who never gave up the vision of rugged individualism combined with a sense of community that brought the world out of ignorance and into the information age. Enlighten yourself, and watch this movie. Then send your kids to join the industrious, interested, amazed, joyous, freeing crowd of investigative inventors in the Internet and elsewhere - the hackers!

Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams: Japanese Science Fiction from Origins to Anime
University Of Minnesota Press | 2007 | ISBN: 0816649731 | Pages: 288 | PDF | 3.08 MB

Since the end of the Second World War—and particularly over the last decade—Japanese science fiction has strongly influenced global popular culture. Unlike American and British science fiction, its most popular examples have been visual—from Gojira (Godzilla) and Astro Boy in the 1950s and 1960s to the anime masterpieces Akira and Ghost in the Shell of the 1980s and 1990s—while little attention has been paid to a vibrant tradition of prose science fiction in Japan.

Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams remedies this neglect with a rich exploration of the genre that connects prose science fiction to contemporary anime. Bringing together Western scholars and leading Japanese critics, this groundbreaking work traces the beginnings, evolution, and future direction of science fiction in Japan, its major schools and authors, cultural origins and relationship to its Western counterparts, the role of the genre in the formation of Japan’s national and political identity, and its unique fan culture.

Covering a remarkable range of texts—from the 1930s fantastic detective fiction of Yumeno Kyûsaku to the cross-culturally produced and marketed film and video game franchise Final Fantasy—this book firmly establishes Japanese science fiction as a vital and exciting genre.

Audiobook | English | ISBN: N/A | MP3 44100 Hz 96 kbps & 32000 Hz 32 kbps | 6 tapes | ~4 hours | 129 Mb

They all laughed when I said my business was growing by leaps and bounds despite the recession angst - but they don’t have THE MAGNETIC MARKETING SYSTEM…

How To Thrive And Prosper Right Now
And Be Poised To Profit From The Emerging New Economy
With The Time-Tested, Proven, Yet Cutting-Edge And Radically Different
SYSTEM FOR ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS OR CLIENTS
That Literally Changes Everything….
for Owners of Any Kind Of Business, for Sales Professionals in Any Field…

Are you ready?

Because THIS is like nothing you’ve ever seen, read, listened to or possessed before!

If you are a business owner, you’ve likely been doing well during recent boom years despite being AN ADVERTISING VICTIM…..constantly wasting money, not really knowing what works and what doesn’t, reinventing the wheel too often, and – to be blunt – getting where you’re going by paddling faster and harder, without a fail-safe navigation system. I’m here to warn you: those “generous days” are over, and gone forever. Big, dumb companies’ sloppy, wasteful “mass advertising” practices are catching up with them - the ‘secret cancer’ that has eroded so many of these big-name corporations and left them weak, fragile and vulnerable to the very first recession-storm to blow through. Because of their size, their death may be slow. BUT THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, local merchant, or even mid-sized company owner can be slaughtered much faster by NOT REALLY KNOWING HOW TO SYSTEMATICALLY, efficiently, affordably “target” his ideal, ready and able to buy, high value customers or clients. If you are willing to be honest and admit you don’t really have a reliable marketing system – then you are going to count this letter put in your hands this day as a Life-Altering Event.

If you are a sales professional, you know that “Cold Prospecting” is like coal mining: dirty, filthy, ugly work best left to those who must make a living by brawn rather than with brains. If you are a good salesperson, the key to success is spending much more, even all of your time selling – to ideal prospects, customers or clients eager to meet with you, ready to listen to you, accepting of you as an expert advisor, even pre-determined to do business with you…with price or fee resistance off the table. Is such a life in selling possible? YES. And it is NOW more vital than ever. Making a top income through sheer persistence and patience and thick-skinned immunity to rejection and brute force closing and hunt-‘em-down prospecting just isn’t possible in a tougher economy. And in the new, emerging economy, it’ll be the wrong skill-set altogether. If you can be open-minded to a radically different approach that makes a life in selling infinitely more pleasant, and increases income exponentially with less stress and struggle – then I can totally change your income, status and day to day experience virtually overnight, just as I have for tens of thousands of salespeople.

My name is Dan Kennedy. My completely up-dated, expanded and more valuable-than-ever MAGNETIC MARKETING SYSTEM is yours to inspect, examine, try out and prove beyond all doubt to be “life-changing” and capable of creating “life-changing income increases” FOR YOU…..for a full TWO months……entirely risk free. If you aren’t so “into it”, using it, drawing more from it day after day that you would wrestle six alligators buck naked in a pit of hot coals to keep it, I certainly don’t want even a penny of your hard-earned money. In 30 years at this, I’ve never permitted even one person to walk around claiming they wasted their money with me and I’m not about to start now. Get this SYSTEM. Put it to work. You’ll know – fast – that it DOES work. But, if for ANY reason whatsoever, you disagree, you can simply return it and get an instant, full, 100% refund…..no hassles, no forms to fill out….and you can even keep $613.00 of BONUS RESOURCES FREE.

So, what IS this SYSTEM? It is actually THREE things in one:

#1: It is a set of groundbreaking, practical strategies that I’ve “moved over’ from the direct marketing industry (once called ‘mail-order) — where I made my chops, have become a multi-millionaire serial entrepreneur, and have helped hundreds of clients go from zero to millions, even in one case over 1-Billion dollars — to use in ANY TYPE of business, small or large, and by ANY sales pro. None of this is “the same old wine in a new bottle”. Whatever you’ve gotten in seminars past, whatever you’ve read regurgitated in a zillion books, whatever you think you know WILL BE CHALLENGED by what you hear and see – and THE PROOF you get from me – about a different, better, saner, more productive path to business growth (regardless of the economy) by ATTRACTING ideal new customers or clients.

These Strategies are presented and explained in twelve audio CD’s supported by written transcripts for easy reference and true-life Examples/Samples from real businesses and salespeople – not “made up stuff”.

#2: It is a monster-sized yet easily useable TOOLBOX of ready and nearly-ready to use Examples and Samples, organized into seven business categories (you fit at least one)….so you are not asked to listen, learn and then left to your own devices to do. If you’ve ever put a toy together for a kid at Christmas, you know the instructions aren’t enough – you need that picture on the box of what it’s supposed to look like when you’re done! Well, I not only SHOW you every Strategy actually implemented….I give it all to you as Examples very easily and quickly “tweaked” for your use – including Examples marked “copyright-free” for that exact purpose. If I did all this just for you as a private client, you’d pay over $100,000.00, and many do. In fact, there’s a waiting list. I don’t want new clients; don’t ask. And obviously, most small businesses and sales pros can’t justify my fees. But I’m a passionate champion of the independent small business owner and the sales professional. I hate seeing you (us) targeted for criticism and abusive taxation by liberal politicians…it galls me that you (we) are not included when they say “hard working Americans” (as if we get our money handed to us by the tooth fairy)….and it further frustrates me to see you “shoveled” out-dated, antiquated, tired, old advertising, marketing and sales ideas when you NEED real help. So here I am. Having put together a TOOLBOX of “What Works Now”.

I recently did a book promotion tour, appearing for just a few hours in four cities in four days – zipping to each by private jet, then on to the next. Very uncharacteristic for me; I typically refuse travel for business and all my clients must come to me. With such short stops in each city, you’d assume only local people would turn out. No. In each place, over 400 gathered, many flying there themselves from outside these areas, many standing in long lines to get to shake my hand…tell me their “Dan Kennedy strategies success story”….thank me. I’m not telling you that to brag. I’m promising you that you’ll soon feel the same way. You’ll not only find me “a breath of fresh air”, you’ll find my TOOOLBOX put together for you to be so different and so useful and so valuable, you’ll feel guilty about how little you paid, and you’ll be eager to meet me in person to thank me.

Of course, if you just want entertainment, I would NOT suggest getting my System. I think I’m a pretty entertaining fellow at times, but THIS is not something to be just listened to casually as you drive around town or cut the lawn on Saturday. It is meant to be USED FOR PROFIT.

#3: It is everything you need for a true Marketing SYSTEM. That means you go to bed at night – every night – knowing (not wondering, wishing, praying, hoping)…KNOWING where your next new prospects or customers are coming from, with consistency, reliability and predictability. This is a SYSTEM in sync with the emerging new economy, where customers have more confusing and competing choices than ever, traditional ad media readership is falling and fragmented, people are overwhelmed with communication, and spending is more measured and thoughtful. This is a SYSTEM with direct, targeted outreach to carefully selected, ideal customers – literally the opposite of costly, wasteful mass advertising and marketing. This SYSTEM has “built in” competitive advantage….”built in” price resistance minimization….setting you apart from all others and letting you sell in a competitive vacuum. From my Magnetic Marketing System will come YOUR OWN PERSONAL SYSTEM that you can trust and rely on, to achieve your sales goals.

Yale University Press | ISBN: 0300071507 | 1998-02-17 | PDF | 416 pages | 18.09 MB

Drawing on documents newly available from Russian archives, this important book conclusively demonstrates the continuous and intimate ties between the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) and Moscow. Digging even deeper than the authors` earlier volume, The Secret World of American Communism, it conclusively demonstrates that the CPUSA was little more than a pawn of the Soviet regime.

Christopher G. Pernin, Brian Nichiporuk, Dale Stahl, Justin Beck, Ricky Radaelli-sanchez, “Unfolding the Future of the Long War: Motivations, Prospects, and Implications for the U.s. Army”
Rand Corp | 2008-12-31 | ISBN: 0833046314 | 224 pages | PDF | 1,35 MB

The United States is currently engaged in a military effort that has been characterized as the “long war.” The long war has been described by some as an epic struggle against adversaries bent on forming a unified Islamic world to supplant western dominance, while others describe it more narrowly as an extension of the war on terror. But while policymakers, military leaders, and scholars have offered numerous definitions of the long war, no consensus has been reached about this term or its implications for the United States.

To understand the impacts that this long war will have on the U.S. Army and on U.S. forces in general, it is necessary to understand more precisely what the long war is and how it might unfold over the coming years. To address this need, this study explores the concept of the long war and identifies potential ways in which it might unfold as well as the implications for the Army and the U.S. military more generally.
This report uses the generation of either “trajectories” or alternative paths in which the long war might unfold to explore the implications for the U.S. military. The discussion focuses on the potential threats the U.S. faces in each trajectory and considers the confluence of three major problems raised by the war: those related to the ideologies espoused by key adversaries in the conflict, those related to the use of terrorism, and those related to governance (i.e., its absence or presence, its quality, and the predisposition of specific governing bodies to the United States and its interests). The goal of this report is not to determine which of these areas is the key problem. Instead, we take the stance that in order to ensure that this long war follows a favorable course, the United States will need to make a concerted effort across all three domains. Numerous broad conclusions and recommendations are given for addressing issues surrounding the long war.

Gabriella Gonzalez, “Facing Human Capital Challenges of the 21st Century”
RAND Corporation | 2008-10-25 | ISBN: 0833045687 | 164 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

Countries in the Arab region are faced with the challenge of developing their populations’ skills and technical knowledge, or human capital, in order to compete in the 21st century global economy. This executive summary is an overview of the education and labor market initiatives implemented or under way in four countries in the Arab region — Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — to address the human resource issues they each face as they prepare their countries for a place in the 21st century global economy.
Three of these countries — Oman, Qatar, and the UAE — are in the Arabian Gulf; the fourth, Lebanon, is in the Levant. Together, they highlight the similarities and dissimilarities of the challenges faced by countries in the region and the responses to those challenges. The study answers three main questions: What are the human resource challenges each country faces? What education, human capital, and labor market reforms have recently been implemented or are under way to address these challenges? What mechanisms and information are used to assess whether reforms are meeting their objectives, and is there evidence of success? Answers were sought through analysis of relevant literature, the most-recent population and labor force data from international and in-country sources, and a series of elite interviews in 2006 with government officials and individuals in private organizations in the four study countries. The authors found that while the study countries have instituted reforms to their education and training systems that are designed to raise the skills of the population, and have made changes to the labor market and economy aimed at facilitating the use of human capital in diverse sectors of the economy, a disconnect remains between implementing reforms and evaluating them to ascertain whether they are having the intended effects. In many cases, reforms have only recently gotten under way, so it may be too early to measure their impact. In other cases, however, the lack of systematic assessment stems from gaps in the data needed to track the effects of policy changes. If policy evaluation is made integral to reform, the countries in the Arab world will have the information they need to make the best investments in their human capital in the decades to come.Summarizes the education and labor market initiatives implemented or under way in four countries in the Arab region (Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates) to address the human resource issues they each face as they prepare their countries for a place in the 21st century global economy. Together, these countries highlight the variety of challenges faced by countries in the region and responses to those challenges.

How to Grow When Markets Don’t by Adrian Slywotzky, Richard Wise, Karl Weber, Read by Richard Doyle
Audiobook | English | Warner Business, 2003 Abridged | ISBN: 1586215310 | 3 CDs | MP3 22050 Hz 64 kps | 4:18 hours | 100 Mb

In this shrewdly titled volume for today’s tough economy, global strategy consultants Slywotsky (The Art of Profitability) and Wise analyze companies in mature markets that have managed to achieve significant growth without venturing outside their industry, manipulating their financial statements or acquiring dot-coms. Their chief insight is that established companies with experience in their field have, aside from their core business, a wealth of hidden assets-customer contacts, technical expertise, efficient business models-that they can exploit to grow new businesses. Take John Deere, which studied the growth in home ownership (and consequently in the residential landscaping market) and decided to graft its trusted brand name and expertise in agricultural equipment onto a significant growth market.

Clarke American took an apparently waning business-check printing-and morphed it into a customer services firm for large banks. By building on intangible assets like brand recognition, knowledge of the customer and distribution channels, these companies transformed themselves into growth centers for new products and services. The authors gloss over many of the problems that hamper blue chip companies seeking growth, however-e.g., market attrition, declining cash flow, recalcitrant middle managers and stodgy tradition-and fail to note that many of the corporations they cite here fall into current growth industries like personal banking, health care and home ownership. Nevertheless, the book does take an imaginative look at the possibilities open to mature companies looking to rejuvenate themselves.

An Angel Directs the Storm: Apocalyptic Religion and American Empire By Michael Northcott
Publisher: I. B. Tauris 2004 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 1850434786; 9781850434788 | PDF | 1.5 MB

This passionately argued book provides the first in-depth investigation of the religious politics of current American neo-conservatism. It shows that behind the neo-imperialism of the White House and George W. Bush lies an apocalyptic vision of the United States’s sacred destiny “at the end of history”, a vision that is shared by millions of Americans. The authors trace the roots of American apocalyptic to Puritan Millennialism and contemporary fundamentalist readings of the Book of Revelation. They suggest that Americans urgently need to recover a critique of Empire of the kind espoused by the founder of Christianity–or else risk becoming idolaters of a new Holy Roman Empire that leads others into servitude.

The Holocaust in American Life By Peter Novick
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin 1999 | 433 Pages | ISBN: 0395840090; 9780395840092 | PDF | 1 MB

A prizewinning historian offers a groundbreaking look at the changing fortunes of Holocaust memory in America and provocatively questions the prominent role it now plays in our political and cultural life. In recent years the Holocaust has become an important and prominent symbol in American life. It is a cornerstone of how Jews understand themselves and would have others understand them as well as a moral reference point for all Americans, embodied by Washington’s Holocaust Museum, now a national shrine and the repository of lessons all must learn. While ordinarily historical memories are most vivid in the immediate aftermath of events and fade with the passage of time, in the case of the Holocaust the reverse has been true. During the decades following World War II the Holocaust was not much talked about — even by American Jews.
Historian Peter Novick explores with piercing insight the reasons for this long silence, describing the impact of new cold war alliances and Jews’ desire not to be seen by their fellow Americans as victims. He recounts the events and decisions that in later decades moved the Holocaust from the margins of American life to the center, including the desire of Jews to define what made them distinctive and the search for moral ground on which increasingly divided Americans could stand. What, Novick boldly asks, are the costs — for Jews and for all Americans — of making the Holocaust a defining symbol? Are there really “lessons of the Holocaust” as many presume? A path-breaking book, THE HOLOCAUST IN AMERICAN LIFE is sure to be widely discussed and hotly debated.

Matthew Dickie, “Magic and Magicians in the Greco-Roman World”
Routledge | 2002-09-30 | ISBN: 0415311292 | 392 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

This study is the first to assemble the evidence for the existence of sorcerers and sorceresses in the ancient world. It also addresses the question of their identity and social origins. The underside of Greek and Roman society-holy men and women, conjurors and wonder-workers, and the lives of prostitutes, procuresses, charioteers, and theatrical performers-is examined in full detail.

Dickie has patiently collected information from sources that the rest of us have missed; paired with more familiar materials, this makes his book, which focuses on the people who practiced magic from the fifth century B.C.E. to the seventh century C.E., the most complete survey of his topic that we could hope for. It will serve as an important research tool for many years..

Len Sperry “Executive Coaching: The Essential Guide for Mental Health Professionals”
Routledge | 2004-09-27 | ISBN: 0415946131 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

For many mental health professionals, executive and personal coaching are attractive alternatives to managed care practice, having the appeal of practice flexibility and offering the opportunity to assist relatively healthy and productive individuals in a non-medical environment. Likewise, formal mental health training can be a significant asset in coaching clients with complicated psychological problems.

In order to make a successful transition from a clinical to a corporate environment, clinicians need a realistic understanding of organizational dynamics as well as preparation in the methods and professional issues unique to coaching. This book provides mental health professionals with a map of the territory of the corporate world and describes in detail the major theoretical coaching models and progressive phases.

Sperry addresses both executive coaching, which focuses primarily on issues of work performance and personal coaching, which deals with the development of high level psychological and physical health. Special strategies for optimizing executive performance, developing leadership skills and promoting personal, relational, physical and spiritual well-being are revealed as the book explores the practical, ethical and legal aspects of beginning and maintaining an active coaching practice.

Richard Lawley, Laurie Curtis, Judi Davis, “Food Safety Hazard Guidebook”
Royal Society of Chemistry | 2008-09-14 | ISBN: 0854044604 | 336 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB

The book is a guidebook, rather than an encyclopedia, which acts as a portal for the immense and ever expanding body of scientific knowledge that exists for food safety. It is an easy-to-use information resource for anyone with a professional interest in the safety of the food supply. The book is easy to navigate and presents concise and carefully researched factual information on a wide range of biological and chemical hazards in a clear format that is designed to support risk analysis exercises and HACCP studies.
It covers a broad range of established and emerging food safety hazards and includes details of authoritative sources of further information (many web-based) for those seeking to examine a topic in greater depth. The section on food allergens is a particularly valuable component of the book, the chapters on fish toxins are also useful and unusual in a book of this kind and bacterial pathogens are comprehensively covered. One of the most important features of the book is the wide scope of the content and the highly structured format designed to help the reader find information quickly. Other key benefits to the reader are:
-the wide range of biological and chemical hazards covered in a single book;
-written specifically with food industry professionals in mind;
-easy to navigate and accessible for the non-expert;
-clear and concise presentation of factual information presented in a format that lends itself to use in risk assessment exercises;
-inclusion of references and web links to reliable sources of further information on each chapter;
-specifically designed for practical use by a professional readership.

The Economist 10-01-2009
PDF | No restrictions | English | 149 Pages | 3 MB

How growing rejectionism, the rise of religion, a new military doctrine and a new cold war keep peace at bay WITH luck, the destructive two-week battle between Israel and Hamas may soon draw to an end. But how long before the century-long war between Arabs and Jews in Palestine follows suit? It is hard to believe that this will happen any time soon. Consider: Israel’s current operation, “Cast Lead”, marks the fourth time Israel has fought its way into Gaza. It almost captured Gaza (behind a pocket containing a young Egyptian army officer called Gamal Abdul Nasser) in 1948, in the war Israelis know as their war of independence.

It captured Gaza again in 1956, as part of a secret plan hatched with Britain and France to topple Nasser as Egypt’s president and restore British control of the Suez Canal. It invaded a third time during the six-day war of 1967—and stayed there for 38 years, until withdrawing unilaterally three and a half years ago.

John Algeo, “British or American English?: A Handbook of Word and Grammar Patterns”
Cambridge University Press | 2006-08-21 | ISBN: 0521379938 | 360 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

Speakers of British and American English display some striking differences in their use of grammar. In this detailed survey, John Algeo considers questions
such as:

∗Who lives on a street, and who lives in a street?
∗Who takes a bath, and who has a bath?
∗Who says Neither do I, and who says Nor do I?
∗After “thank you”, who says Not at all and who says You’ re welcome?
∗Whose team are on the ball, and whose team is?
Containing extensive quotations from real-life English on both sides of the Atlantic, collected over the past twenty years, this is a clear and highly organized guide to the differences – and the similarities – in the grammar of British and American speakers. Written for those with no prior knowledge of linguistics, it shows how these grammatical differences are linked mainly to particular words, and provides an accessible account of contemporary
English as it is actually used.
Reviews:
‘… no other book covers quite the same ground. It will be useful for lexicographers, translators, editors, and material writers, as well as linguists and researchers. Not least, it will provide many ideas for students who are beginning research into the varieties …’
-Journal of English Linguistics
“The book is an impressive achievement that will set a new standard in language variation studies and serve as a rich source of knowledge for students of British and American English.”
-Jan Svartvik, Emeritus Professor of English, Lund University, Language Problems & Language Planning

K. David Goss, “The Salem Witch Trials”
Greenwood Press | 2007-12-30 | ISBN: 0313320950 | 208 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB

Part of the enduring fascination of the Salem witch trials is the fact that, to date, no one theory has been able to fully explain the events that ravaged Salem in 1692. Countless causes, from ergot-infected rye to actual demonic posession, have been offered to explain why the accusations and erratic behavior of seven village girls left hundreds accused, over 20 dead, and the townspeople of eastern Massachusetts shaken. Through a multitude of resources, this authoritative source explores this tumultuous episode in early American history, including the religious and political climate of Puritan New England; the testimony and examinations given at the trials; the accusers and their relationships to the accused; major interpretations of the events, from the 17th century to the present day; and the aftermath of the trials and their impact on later generations. This jam-packed documentary and reference guide includes:

# Five thematic essays exploring the event, including historical background, interpretations, and aftermath
# biographical sketches of every major player involved in the trials, from ministers to afflicted girls
# fifty primary document excerpts, including petitions, letters, and revealing trial testimony
# a chronology of events
# an annotated bibliography of print and nonprint sources for further research
# a glossary of key names, terms, and language used at the trials
# over 25 photos of depictions and historical sites A must-have for any student of American history, this resource gives a unique glimpse into the 17th century politics, religious culture, and gender issues that created the Salem witchcraft episode, and gives context to an impact that still resonates today, in everything from modern political life to popular culture.

Gerhard Plenert, “Reinventing Lean: Introducing Lean Management into the Supply Chain”
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2006-08-14 | ISBN: 0123705177 | 328 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

Most books on Supply Chain Management simply focus on how to move materials and key resources throughout an industrial enterprise. Reinventing Lean shows how SCM can be made “Lean,” leading to much more reliable, cost-effective and competitive Supply Chain Management” (SCM). In this book, the reader will find a collection of management tools that will help to implement Lean principles, and to understand the components of an integrated Supply Chain Management system. Moreover, the book will show that to make Lean SCM effective, both the functional management tools as well as an enterprise-wide cultural readiness are needed in order to lay the groundwork for a World Class Lean Supply Chain.
Reinventing Lean will carefully lead engineers and manufacturing managers on how to adopt a cutting-edge Lean Supply Chain strategy. The book will lay out various proven approaches to incorporating Lean and SCM practices, by focusing on the ways in which SCM relates to materials, money, and information movement within the manufacturing environment. And because Reinventing Lean recognizes that a successful Lean SCM system cannot be achieved unless an organization supports team integration and the willingness to adapt to change, it provides not only the technical tools but also methods for changing company cultural factors that can make it all come together for a successful operation.
* Industrial engineers and plant managers, with strong backgrounds in SCM, will learn how lean management principles can be utilized to make their organizations leaner, more efficient, and more competitive
* Readers will find out how to lay out various approaches to incorporating Lean and SCM practices
* Readers can learn how to customize a cutting-edge Lean Supply Chain strategy which will give a distinct advantage over the competition

Oxford University Press, USA | 1991-03-21 | ISBN: 0195067193 | 240 pages | PDF | 11 MB

This book analyzes the relationships between Athenian myths and the institutions that informed them. In particular, it examines how myths encode thoughts on ritual, the code of the warrior, marriage, and politics. Combining traditional historical and literary criticism with the approaches of anthropologists, feminist critics, and cultural historians, the authors study specific examples of the epic and tragedy, as well as funeral orations and the Parthenon marbles, to illuminate the ways mythic media exploited the beliefs, concepts, and practices of fifth-century Athens, simultaneously exemplifying and shaping that culture.

Career Press | 2000-12-15 | ISBN: 1564144860 | 224 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

A Witch’s Beverages and Brews shares the wonderful heritage of beverage making and consuming — how drinks appeared on altars as gift to the gods, where toasts come from, and why we pass wine clockwise around the table. All this lore and superstition combines with modern magickal methods to help you design beverages that quench both physical and spiritual thirst completely while tantalizing your taste buds.

In the later half of the book, each chapter is devoted to a specific theme with a suggested component list, preparation ideas (timing), and a host of recipes for both consumption and spellcraft purposes. Some of the themes that are covered are “keeping love true,” “prosperity potions,” and “concocting a little luck.” Whether you’re creating a drink so you can internalize its qualities for daily living, or making it for a friend, there’s something here for all occasions, needs, and tastes.

Clarissa Smith, “One for the Girls!: The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women’s Porn”
Intellect Ltd | 2007-03-22 | ISBN: 1841501646 | 263 pages | PDF | 2 MB

We usually think of women as the victims of pornography rather than its consumers. Whether appearing in films, peering provocatively from the pages of magazines, or posing on explicit Web-sites, women are considered the dehumanized objects of unseen lascivious male viewers. But in her controversial new book One for the Girls!, Clarissa Smith debunks this myth and challenges women to read, watch, and enjoy pornography on their own terms. Focusing on the British magazine For Women, Smith looks at its readers’ responses to male pinups and erotica and explores the intricacies of women’s unique reactions to pornography.
‘Clarissa Smith has achieved something special with her new proffering from her masculinities repertoire: One for the Girls! The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women’s Porn. Smith’s text is groundbreaking, multidisciplinary and equally importantly - extremely readable. It is the last point perhaps that really sets this work apart, as One for the Girls! has a great deal to offer both the specialist academic and the general reader. Clarissa Smith’s accessible style allows readers with little prior knowledge of critical theory, cultural studies or the 1980s pornography debate, to not only understand these discourses, but to develop a strong grasp of their impact in this context.’ — Michelle Parslow, Transition Tradition

Geoff Burch, “The Way of the Dog: The Art of Making Success Inevitable”
Capstone | 2005-06-13 | ISBN: 1841125768 | 170 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

The Way of the Dog is a self-help classic. It tells the story of failed salesman, Derek Stubbins, who wanders into a brothers Grimm nightmare and gets turned into a dog. He has to learn the way of the dog to get by. He has to develop the simple, clear way of thinking that a sheepdog has for its task. In doing so, he finds that he can achieve any goal he desires. It is the perfect pathway to success.
Why a dog? A dog has only two states of thought, which are happy, and waiting to be happy. When it has a task to do, it sees the beginning and the end. It doesn’t become anxious or depressed at the size of the job, but just undertakes it and deals with obstacles as they come. It always succeeds.
Geoff Burch taps into the core of great personal development writing in The Way of the Dog. He focuses on the two big questions - what do you want to do with your life and how do you do it? By following the way of the dog, each obstacle in your path is dealt with unfailingly, one at a time. And if you don’t know where you’re going or what you need to make you happy, the sheepdog will show you how to recognise a sheep and not to waste time with goats. The Way of the Dog offers timeless, accessible, fast-paced, funny and memorable advice. Inspiring lifestyle wisdom is brought out through simple storytelling.
Plan your course through life and overcome every obstacle in your path by adopting The Way of the Dog’s route map to success. Unlike the instructions in flat-pack furniture, anyone can understand it, it is easy to do, and the outcome will not be a surprise or a disappointment. The Way of the Dog contains the secrets of success.

Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, “Gravitational Radiation”
Cambridge University Press | 2006-01-09 | ISBN: 0521849608 | 326 pages | PDF | 2,9 MB

Black holes and gravitational radiation are two of the most dramatic predictions of general relativity. The quest for rotating black holes - discovered by Roy P. Kerr as exact solutions to the Einstein equations - is one of the most exciting challenges currently facing physicists and astronomers. Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae takes the reader through the theory of gravitational radiation and rotating black holes, and the phenomenology of GRB-supernovae.

Topics covered include Kerr black holes and the frame-dragging of spacetime, luminous black holes, compact tori around black holes, and black-hole spin interactions. It concludes with a discussion of prospects for gravitational-wave detections of a long-duration burst in gravitational-waves as a method of choice for identifying Kerr black holes in the Universe. This book is ideal for a special topics graduate course on gravitational-wave astronomy and as an introduction to those interested in this contemporary development in physics.

The Complete Guide to Natural Sleep

An advocate of natural healing presents safe and reliable therapies, exercises, and treatments that result sleep — 40 million Americans suffer from insomia — Recommends 15 natural supplements to promote sleep and tells readers the five foods that may cause insomia Sleeping pills may help insomniacs in the short term but often cause greater health problems over time.
Author and lecturer Dian Dincin Buchman shows how implementing non-drug supplements, healthy eating habits, homeopathic treatments, and a variety of exercises can assure a good night’s rest without the risks and side effects that accompany sedatives Buchman begins by exploring what scientists know about the nature and purpose of sleep. She describes various problems that prevent restful slumber and presents a comprehensive program to promote sound sleep. Buchman maintains that insomnia is the result of a number of problems, which vary according to the age of the sufferer. She addresses the remedies for each age group, including infants, children, young adults, mature adults, and senior citizens. Buchman discusses “constructive dreaming”, soothing herbs to aid sleep, and how specific foods either foster or hinder the sleeping cycle. Her exercises and therapies include the use of darkness and intense light to induce slumber, as well as a novel approach that rotates the sleeping schedule of insomniacs. One exercise, an effective replacement to counting sheep, has the insomniac visualizing that he or she is writing the number 3 on a blackboard, erasing it, and then rewriting it, over and over. The book also covers the latest information on melatonin, a sleep-inducing substance produced by the body’s pineal glandthat is being touted as a miracle cure for sufferers of insomnia and jet lag.

Solar and space physics is the study of solar system phenomena that occur in the plasma state. Examples include sunspots, the solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, radiation belts, and the aurora. While each is a distinct phenomenon, there are commonalities among them. To help define and systematize these universal aspects of the field of space physics, the National Research Council was asked by NASA’s Office of Space Science to provide a scientific assessment and strategy for the study of magnetized plasmas in the solar system. This report presents that assessment. It covers a number of important research goals for solar and space physics. The report is complementary to the NRC report, The Sun to the Earth—and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy for Solar and Space Physics, which presents priorities and strategies for future program activities.

3DS Max Master Class Series 9 - Compositing Process In Mind
Autodesk Inc | 1DVD | 700 MB | 2004

In this session,Gary Davis,a Certified Discreet trainer,Challenges the view that many 3D animators have that 3D renders are a finished piece . Instead, 3D render can be seen only as a starting point in a chain of applications such as compositing and editing environments .

The session begins with an extremely cursory overview of Alpha Channels. Next the concept of Render Passes is
introduced,including the separation of foreground,mid ground and background . Render elements are discussed
in detail along with the process of using Z-Depth render passes. Finally the session ends with the use of RPF
sequences,and the powerful union that can be accomplished with 3ds max combustion .

Wenyi Zhao, Rama Chellappa, “Face Processing: Advanced Modeling and Methods”
Academic Press | 2005-10-15 | ISBN: 0120884526 | 768 pages | PDF | 17,8 MB

Major strides have been made in face processing in the last ten years due to the fast growing need for security in various locations around the globe. A human eye can discern the details of a specific face with relative ease. It is this level of detail that researchers are striving to create with ever evolving computer technologies that will become our perfect mechanical eyes. The difficulty that confronts researchers stems from turning a 3D object into a 2D image. That subject is covered in depth from several different perspectives in this volume.

This book begins with a comprehensive introductory chapter for those who are new to the field. A compendium of articles follows that is divided into three sections. The first covers basic aspects of face processing from human to computer. The second deals with face modeling from computational and physiological points of view. The third tackles the advanced methods, which include illumination, pose, expression, and more. Editors Zhao and Chellappa have compiled a concise and necessary text for industrial research scientists, students, and professionals working in the area of image and signal processing.
*Contributions from over 35 leading experts in face detection, recognition and image processing
*Over 150 informative images with 16 images in FULL COLOR illustrate and offer insight into the most up-to-date advanced face processing methods and techniques
*Extensive detail makes this a need-to-own book for all involved with image and signal processing

H. Dieter Zeh, “The Physical Basis of The Direction of Time”
Springer | 2001-06-27 | ISBN: 3540420819 | 231 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

This book has been thoroughly revised to include important new results. At the same time it retains the features that make it a classic text on irreversibility, and one which clearly distinguishes the latter from those time asymmetries which may be compensated for by other asymmetries. The book investigates irreversible phenomena in classical, quantum and cosmological settings. In particular, this fourth edition contains a revised treatment of radiation damping as well as extended sections on dynamical maps, quantum entanglement and decoherence, arrows of time hidden in various interpretations of quantum theory, and the emergence of time in quantum gravity. Both physicists and philosophers of science who reviewed earlier editions considered this book a magnificent survey, a concise, technically sophisticated, up-to-date discussion of the subject, showing showing fine sensitivity to crucial conceptual subtleties.

Don Lincoln, “Understanding the Universe”
World Scientific Publishing Company | 2004-05-31 | ISBN: 981238703X | 592 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB

The Big Bang, the birth of the universe, was a singular event. All of the matter of the universe was concentrated at a single point, with temperatures so high that even the familiar protons and neutrons of atoms did not yet exist, but rather were replaced by a swirling maelstrom of energy, matter and antimatter. Exotic quarks and leptons flickered briefly into existence, before merging back into the energy sea.

This book explains the fascinating world of quarks and leptons and the forces that govern their behavior. Told from an experimental physicist’s perspective, it forgoes mathematical complexity, using instead particularly accessible figures and apt analogies. In addition to the story of quarks and leptons, which are regarded as well-accepted fact, the author who is a leading researcher at the world’s highest energy particle physics laboratory also discusses mysteries on both the experimental and theoretical frontier, before tying it all together with the exciting field of cosmology and indeed the birth of the universe itself.

The text spans the tiny world of the quark to the depths of the universe with exceptional clarity. The casual student of science will appreciate the careful distinction between what is known (quarks, leptons and antimatter), what is suspected (Higgs bosons, neutrino oscillations and the reason why the universe has so little antimatter) and what is merely dreamed (supersymmetry, superstrings and extra dimensions). Included is an unprecedented chapter explaining the accelerators and detectors of modern particle physics experiments. The chapter discussing the hunt for the Higgs boson, currently consuming the efforts of nearly 1000 physicists, lends drama that only big-stakes science can give. Understanding the Universe leaves the reader with a deep appreciation of the fascinating particle realm and just how much it determines the rich beauty of our universe.
