Michel Foucault, The Birth of Biopolitics: Lectures at the College de France, 1978-1979
Palgrave Macmillan | 2008 | ISBN 1403986541 | 368 pages | PDF Ocr | 16.7 MB
What are the specific features of the liberal art of government as they were outlined in the Eighteenth century? What crisis of governmentality characterises the present world and what revisions of liberal government has it given rise to? This is the diagnostic task addressed by Foucault’s study of the two major twentieth century schools of neo-liberalism: German ordo-liberalism and the neo-liberalism of the Chicago School.

In the years he taught at the Collège de France, this was Michel Foucault’s sole foray into the field of contemporary history. This course thus raises questions of political philosophy and social policy that are at the heart of current debates about the role and status of neo-liberalism in twentieth century politics. A remarkable feature of these lectures is their discussion of contemporary economic theory and practice, culminating in an analysis of the model of homo oeconomicus.

Foucault’s analysis also highlights the paradoxical role played by “society” in relation to government. “Society” is both that in the name of which government strives to limit itself, but it is also the target for permanent governmental intervention to produce, multiply, and guarantee the freedoms required by economic liberalism. Far from being opposed to the State, civil society is thus shown to be the correlate of a liberal technology of government.

The Canadian Home
Dundurn Press | ISBN: 1550022024 | 1996-07-25 | PDF | 832 pages | 28 Mb
Would you want to live in a factory-moulded cube made of plastic, asbestos, and UFFI? With an “H-bomb shelter” and the nuclear furnace underneath? Or a house designed by God to harmonise with the cosmic Muzak? The Canadian Home explains how our housing came to be including the pagan origins of “colonial” homes, why “Tudor” is not Tudor, and where so many predictions went wrong.

But the book is not just about tastes and floor plans; it also celebrates technological innovation, from prehistoric Inuit windows (of stretched seal guts) to the R-2000 house and habitation in space. For the first time, records of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association have been opened to reveal the power plays of bureaucrats, developers, architects, and financiers and how they affect the quality, affordability, and choice of our housing today. Fiery debates over the sublime and the ridiculous (e.g. 1940s architectural articles on whether Toronto should be bombed) are set against the backdrop of Canadian politics and industrial history. Whether the reader’s interest is in construction, politics, or home decor, this book explains why the roof over our heads is the way it is.” Pierre Berton “In his fascinating study of Canadian shelter, Marc Denhez takes us on a 20,000-year journey from the days of the cave, the tipi, and the igloo, to the H-bomb shelter and the mobile home. This is, in short, a lively as well as an erudite study of the development of housing . [It] deserves a permanent position on any library shelf.” “If you live in a house or own one or build one if you have a roof over your head read this book. A housing book with punch and humour immensely enjoyable.” Charles Lynch author, journalist and former governor of Heritage Canada.

Infinitesimal Analysis (Mathematics and Its Applications)
Springer | ISBN: 1402007388 | 2002-06-30 | PDF | 436 pages | 3 Mb
Infinitesimal analysis, once a synonym for calculus, is now viewed as a technique for studying the properties of an arbitrary mathematical object by discriminating between its standard and nonstandard constituents. Resurrected by A. Robinson in the early 1960’s with the epithet ‘nonstandard’, infinitesimal analysis not only has revived the methods of infinitely small and infinitely large quantities, which go back to the very beginning of calculus, but also has suggested many powerful tools for research in every branch of modern mathematics.

The book sets forth the basics of the theory, as well as the most recent applications in, for example, functional analysis, optimization, and harmonic analysis. The concentric style of exposition enables this work to serve as an elementary introduction to one of the most promising mathematical technologies, while revealing up-to-date methods of monadology and hyperapproximation. Audiences: This volume is intended for classical analyst seeking new powerful tools and to model theorist in search of challenging applications of nonstandard models. This is a companion volume to the earlier works on nonstandard methods of analysis by A.G. Kusraev and S.S. Kutateladze (1999), ISBN 0-7923-5921-6 and Nonstandard Analysis and Vector Lattices edited by S.S. Kutateladze (2000), ISB

Anthony J. Guttmann, “Polygons, Polyominoes and Polycubes (Lecture Notes in Physics)”
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1402099266 | 518 pages | PDF | 4,5 MB

This unique book gives a comprehensive account of new mathematical tools used to solve polygon problems.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, many problems in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry – and more recently in molecular biology and bio-informatics – can be expressed as counting problems, in which specified graphs, or shapes, are counted.

One very special class of shapes is that of polygons. These are closed, connected paths in space. We usually sketch them in two-dimensions, but they can exist in any dimension. The typical questions asked include “how many are there of a given perimeter?”, “how big is the average polygon of given perimeter?”, and corresponding questions about the area or volume enclosed. That is to say “how many enclosing a given area?” and “how large is an average polygon of given area?” Simple though these questions are to pose, they are extraordinarily difficult to answer. They are important questions because of the application of polygon, and the related problems of polyomino and polycube counting, to phenomena occurring in the natural world, and also because the study of these problems has been responsible for the development of powerful new techniques in mathematics and mathematical physics, as well as in computer science. These new techniques then find application more broadly.

The book brings together chapters from many of the major contributors in the field. An introductory chapter giving the history of the problem is followed by fourteen further chapters describing particular aspects of the problem, and applications to biology, to surface phenomena and to computer enumeration methods.

Sex & Money: Feminism and Political Economy in the Media (Commerce and Mass Culture Series)
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press | ISBN: 0816637873 | edition 2002 | PDF | 312 pages | 1,63 mb
It all comes down to sex and money: how the media are organized, how they work, what they say, who gets to say it, and to whom. That is the message this book delivers-and then parses for its meaning to society and culture. Forcefully and persuasively, this groundbreaking volume uses the media to show how questions of gender and economics are inextricably linked to issues of power in Western capitalist societies.

Integrating political economy and feminism, it offers a new understanding of communication at the personal, experiential, institutional, and structural levels-and exposes all the subtle and complex ways in which sex and money are sutured into individuals’ daily lives.

Isaac Amidror, “The Theory of the Moiré Phenomenon: Volume I: Periodic Layers”
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1848821808 | 551 pages | PDF | 24,8 MB

This book presents the most comprehensive and methodical work on the theory of the moiré phenomenon, providing a full general-purpose and application-independent exposition of this fascinating effect. Based on the Fourier theory, it leads the reader through the various phenomena which occur in the superposition of repetitive layers, both in the image and in the spectral domains.

The first chapters of the book present the basic theory, covering the superposition of monochrome, periodic layers. In later chapters, the theory is extended to the even more interesting cases of polychromatic moirés and moirés between repetitive, non-periodic layers. Throughout the whole text the book favours a pictorial, intuitive approach, which is supported by mathematics, and the discussion is accompanied by a large number of figures and illustrative examples.

The prerequisite mathematical background is limited to an elementary familiarity with the Fourier theory.

There can be few textbooks of mathematics as well-known as Hardy’s Pure Mathematics. Since its publication in 1908, it has been a classic work to which successive generations of budding mathematicians have turned at the beginning of their undergraduate courses.

In its pages, Hardy combines the enthusiasm of a missionary with the rigor of a purist in his exposition of the fundamental ideas of the differential and integral calculus, of the properties of infinite series and of other topics involving the notion of limit.

Male Femaling: A Grounded Approach to Cross-Dressing and Sex-Changing
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415106249 | edition 1997 | PDF | 185 pages | 1,13 mb

Ekins vividly details the innermost desires and the varied practices of males who wear the clothes of women for the pleasure it gives them (cross-dressers), or who wish to change sex and are actively going about it (sex-changers).
This unique and fascinating book transforms an area of study previously dominated by clinical models to look instead at cross-dressing and sex-changing as a highly variable social process, tracing the path of the ‘male femaler’ from ‘beginning’ to ‘consolidating’ femaling.

Based upon seventeen years of fieldwork, life history work, qualitative analysis, archival work and contact with several thousand cross-dressers and sex-changers, the book develops a theory of ‘male femaling’ which has major ramifications for both the field of ‘transvestism’ and ‘transexualism’, and for the analysis of sex and gender more generally.

Publisher: State University of New York Press | ISBN: 0791432084 | edition 1997 | PDF | 322 pages | 1,2 mb
Many people have helped with this book. It started life as a doctoral thesis, and I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, C. A. Hooker, who provided much stimulating conversation, constructive criticism, and, above all, encouragement when I most needed it.
I am indebted to a great many scholars, most known to me only through their work, who have influenced me over the yearsperhaps most to Stephen Jay Gould, whose works provided many an interesting lead, and whose delightful prose, intellectual integrity, and insatiable curiosity were an inspiration.
Many friends and colleagues read some or all of the book at various stages. Their encouragement and criticism has been invaluable. I particularly thank Michael Carrithers, Bernd Baldus, Peter Quartermaine, Stephen Crook, John Bern, Geoffrey Samuel, and Kai Hahlweg, Steve Fuller, Peter Manicas, and Lenore Langsdorf. But their advice was not all heeded, and I alone take responsibility for flaws in the finished product.
My husband, Ross Jenkins, helped me to select and produce the photographs. I thank him. I also thank him, John Nethery, Steve Fraser (CSIRO Exploration & Mining), AUSLIG (Australia’s National Mapping Agency), the Department of Geology, University of Newcastle, and the Queensland Department of Minerals and Energy for permission to use their photographs. Wal Murray produced the line drawings, and Kerry Delaney helped with the reproductions.
Much editing and proofreading of early drafts was done by my husband Ross, brother Simon, and friend Dorrit Nesmith. I cannot thank them enough. The job was to have been done by my journalist father Denis Butler, but sadly he died before I could give him more than the first chapter. I tried to apply to the rest what I learned from his comments, but I miss his savage pencil. This book is dedicated to his memory.

Taking Sex Differences Seriously
Publisher: Encounter Books | ISBN: 159403091X | edition 2005 | PDF | 262 pages | 1,41 mb

Dr. Steven E. Rhoads explores male/female disparities in aggression and dominance, in sexuality and nurturing. He shows how denial of these differences has affected phenomena such as the sexual revolution and fatherless families, and policies such as Title IX and the call for universal day care.

But he also says that society is improved by discouraging some natural tendencies, like men’s temptation toward predatory sex, and encouraging others, like women’s greater interest and talent in caring for babies. Steven Rhoads dispels social clichés and spotlights biological realities in this provocative book. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, “Taking Sex Differences Seriously” is a groundbreaking look at the way we are.

Defect and Material Mechanics
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 294 | 2008-06 | ISBN 1402069286 | PDF | 9 MB
This volume presents recent developments in the theory of defects and the mechanics of material forces. Most of the contributions were presented at the International Symposium on Defect and Material Forces (ISDMM2007), held in Aussois, France, March 25-29, 2007.
The mechanics of material forces, originated in the works of Eshelby, provide a rational framework for the description of driving forces on evolving inhomogeneities and structural changes in continua. The general eshelbian mechanics formulation comes up with a unifying treatment of different phenomena like fracture and damage evolution, phase transitions, plasticity and dislocation motion, etc.
The articles concern both theoretical and computational aspects of the material mechanics of defects. Among the addressed topics are fracture and damage, electromagnetoelasticity, plasticity, distributed dislocations, thermodynamics, poroelasticity, generalized continua, structural optimization, conservation laws and symmetries, multiscale approaches, and numerical solution strategies.

Maternal Personality, Evolution and the Sex Ratio: Do Mothers Control the Sex of the Infant?
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415158796 | edition 1998 | PDF | 222 pages | 1,79 mb

This controversial book discusses the theory of maternal dominance and how the sex of an infant may be determined by whom the mother is more suited to raise. Valerie Grant examines evidence that women who score highly on personality questionnaires designed to measure dominance are more likely than less dominant women to conceive sons.

Dominance is a core personality trait whose biological basis is testosterone. Grant argues that the action of this hormone within the reproductive system leads to the favoring of sperm carrying male or female chromosomes. Thus the mother bears the gender that she is most suited to raise. She explains how these findings are compatible with contemporary research in reproductive physiology, evolutionary biology and developmental psychology and shows how the maternal dominance hypothesis makes sense of puzzling findings in demography, including the fact that more boys are born following war.

Lung Cancer (Contemporary Issues in Cancer Imaging)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521872022 | edition 2007 | PDF | 166 pages | 2,4 mb

Despite the world-wide drive to increase awareness of the risks of smoking, lung cancer remains a global problem. A multidisciplinary team approach is now considered the most effective way to manage lung cancer. Imaging plays a central role in this multidisciplinary approach; this is reflected in the present volume. Individual chapters focus on imaging (including screening, diagnosis of symptomatic cases and staging), pathology and treatment options in lung cancer.

Due to recent interest in the potential role of PET for a variety of malignancies, a separate chapter is devoted to this technique. Each volume in Contemporary Issues in Cancer Imaging is co-ordinated by an expert guest editor with contributions from all members of the multidisciplinary team, bringing together expertise from many specialities to promote the understanding and application of modern imaging in patient management.

For Girls Only: Making a Case for Single-Sex Schooling
Publisher: State University of New York Press | ISBN: 079144094X | edition 1999 | CHM | 155 pages | 1 mb
For Girls Only examines research and public policy regarding single-sex schooling, especially girls-only classes in public, coeducational schools. Since the passage of Title IX in 1972, which calls for equal access and participation regardless of gender, educators have attempted to address gender equity issues in schools.

Current research on the progress of female students in U.S. public schools suggests that efforts have not sufficiently addressed concerns such as academic under-achievement in the areas of math and science, lower self-esteem from the advent of early adolescence, and vulnerability to sexual harassment. Despite Title IX, some educators have turned to the creation of single-sex classes and programs for female students in order to better address these critical issues. This book examines the longitudinal results of one study, reviews other research, and considers policy implications in conflict with Title IX.

Discourses of Empire: Counter-Epic Literature in Early Modern Spain By Barbara Simerka
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press | ISBN: 0271022825 | edition 2003 | PDF | 224 pages | 8,8 mb
The counter-epic is a literary style that developed in reaction to imperialist epic conventions as a means of scrutinizing the consequences of foreign conquest of dominated peoples. It also functioned as a transitional literary form, a bridge between epic narratives of military heroics and novelistic narratives of commercial success.

In Discourses of Empire, Barbara Simerka examines the representation of militant Christian imperialism in early modern
Spanish literature by focusing on this counter-epic discourse.
Simerka is drawn to literary texts that questioned or challenged the imperial project of the Hapsburg monarchy in northern Europe and the New World. She notes the variety of critical ideas across the spectrum of diplomatic, juridical, economic, theological, philosophical, and literary writings, and she argues that the presence of such competing discourses challenges the frequent assumption of a univocal, hegemonic culture in Spain during the imperial period. Simerka is especially alert to the ways in which different discourses-hegemonic, residual, emergent-coexist and compete simultaneously in the mediation of power.

The Military and Negotitation: The Role of the Soldier-Diplomat (The Cass Series on Peacekeeping) By Deborah Goodwin
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415350948 | edition 2005 | PDF | 264 pages | 2,22 mb

This is an investigation of the role of the modern soldier/diplomat and the nature of military negotiation, in comparison with negotiation in other contexts. It is a detailed analysis of the role of the military in current operations as negotiators and liaison workers in the field.

Very few in the academic world are writing on this specific role of the military and the nature of negotiation in this situation, and such a volatile context. This publication is a first in this context, and has a keen audience in light of the current world order. The book is breaking new ground in analyzing the nature of military negotiation in relation to more generic forms of negotiation, and assessing the role of the modern soldier/diplomat in recent deployments around the world. The author is an academic working within the military environment, very few people have the same capacity and accessibility to firsthand evidence and observation. Whilst peacekeeping has grown in the last decade or so, no-one has successfully investigated the role of the military and their approach to non-violent conflict resolution on the ground as few have access to such work to make a viable detailed assessment of the nature of negotiation in a violent context, but Dr Goodwin is able to do so.
Readers and researchers interested in the areas of international relations, social sciences, conflict resolution, negotiation, communication skills, politics, peacekeeping, and the role of the military, will be interested in this work and find it a valuable resource.

Martin A. Fischler, Oscar Firschein, “Intelligence: The Eye, the Brain, and the Computer”
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional | 1987-01-01 | ISBN 0201120011 | PDF | 331 pages | 61,2 MB

This book is intended to be an intellectual journey into the domain of human and machine intelligence. The subject matter has been approached from a conceptual and sometimes even philosophical point of view, one biased by our experience in that branch of computer and cognitive science called artificial intelligence (AI).
On this journey we will often be dealing with topics,such as the operation of the brain, where knowledge is lacking, and where there are only vague conjectures as to possible mechanisms. In our review of machine intelligence, we will discuss both the present-day and ultimate limits of machine performance. We intend the book to provide the Scientific American level reader with an understanding of the concept of intelligence, the nature of the cognitive and perceptual capabilities of people and machines, and the representations and algorithms used to attain intelligent behavior. While we have attempted to make the material understandable by an educated layman, we are equally concerned with having something important to say to our professional colleagues and peers. “Boxes” have been used to augment the text. These boxes,and longer appendices, present material of interest that expand on the topics being discussed, and sometimes they may contain technical material of more interest to the specialist. It is intended that the text should stand on its own; the reader can usually omit the boxes until a later
reading. A unifying theme in our exposition is the critically important concept of representation. Issues related to this and other important concepts may be raised in an earlier chapter, our position stated, and then elaborated and supported in later chapters… Our primary purpose in the first part of this book is to provide a basis for understanding the nature of intelligence and intelligent behavior: (a) as it exists in man and higher animals, (b) as it could exist in a machine, and (c) as a scientific discipline concerned with the mechanisms and limits involved in acquiring, representing, and applyingknowledge.The last part of the book deals with perception and primarily vision, the means by which knowledge about our physical environment is acquired. We will see that perceptual behavior, far from being passive or mechanical, requires a reasoning ability at least equal to that needed for the most difficult problem-solving tasks.The flavor of this book can be gleaned from the following brief description of chapter topics.

Shelby Steele, “White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era”
Publisher: Harper Perennial | 2007-06-01 | ISBN 0060578637 | PDF | 208 pages | 1.0 MB

In 1955 the killers of Emmett Till, a black Mississippi youth, were acquitted because they were white. Forty years later, despite the strong DNA evidence against him, accused murderer O. J. Simpson went free after his attorney portrayed him as a victim of racism. The age of white supremacy has given way to an age of white guilt—and neither has been good for African Americans.

Through articulate analysis and engrossing recollections, acclaimed race relations scholar Shelby Steele sounds a powerful call for a new culture of personal responsibility.

J. Angelo Corlett, “Interpreting Plato’s Dialogues”
Parmenides Publishing | 2005 | ISBN: 1930972024 | 152 pages | Djvu | 1,2 MB
“Interpreting Plato’s Dialogues” introduces readers to some key problems in understanding Plato’s writings, and explores in-depth and critically the various ways of approaching Plato. The problem of how to interpret Plato’s dialogues dates back to Plato’s Academy, and Plato’s interpreters ought not to forego this important discussion.

For how one approaches texts will inevitably influence how one interprets their contents. This is especially true of Plato’s writings, as they are, with few exceptions, dialogues. For the sake of historical accuracy, then, it is crucial that the most plausible interpretation of Plato’s works is articulated and well defended. And this is precisely what this book provides: an articulation and critical evaluation of the various ways to approach Plato’s dialogues, along with the articulation and defense of a plausible new way to interpret Plato. This new way of approaching Plato neither sees Plato’s words as doctrines according to which the dialogues are to be interpreted, nor does it reduce Plato’s dialogues to dramatic literature. Rather, it seeks to interpret the aim of Plato’s writings as being influenced primarily by Plato’s respect for his teacher, Socrates, and the manner in which Socrates engaged others in philosophical discourse. It places the focus of philosophical investigation of Plato’s dialogues on the content of the dialogues themselves, and on the Socratic way of doing philosophy. This book contains a comprehensive bibliography of philosophical sources on the interpretation of Plato’s corpus of writings, as well as some important works in the field of classical studies and philology. “Interpreting Plato’s Dialogues” provides both an analytical, scholarly, and thorough treatment of what is perhaps the most long-standing problem in Plato studies. The book will serve well as a companion text to Plato’s dialogues and is of special interest to philosophers, classicists, and philologists.

Andrew Soltis: Why Lasker Matters
Batsford | ISBN: 0713489839 | 2006-03-28 | 320 Pages | Djvu | 3.81 Mb
Emanuel Lasker held the world chess championship longer than any other player in history (1894 to 1921). He competed against such greats as Capablanca, Rubinstein, and Alekhine at the height of their game, and was consistently successful—yet almost no one studies his games today.

International Grandmaster Andrew Soltis now rectifies that oversight with a book that takes the full measure of Lasker’s genius. With more than 100 annotated games, this extended look into the thinking of a neglected chess wizard is full of surprises—offering both a much-needed reappraisal of Lasker and a cornucopia of fresh insights for today’s player.

Development Finance: Debates, Dogmas and New Directions (Routledge Advanced Texts in Economics and Finance): Stephen Spratt: Your Store”
Routledge | ISBN: 041542318X | November 20, 2008 | PDF (OCR) | 418 pages | 3726 KB

This book examines the subject of Development Finance, or more specifically how financial systems can help or hinder the process of human development. As an expert in this field, Stephen Spratt reviews the components of the domestic and international financial systems, and considers reform options objectively against the central goal of human development.

The result is a combination of orthodox and more innovative approaches, which provides a thorough grounding in development finance theory and practice in the 21st century.Topics covered in the book include: the millennium development goals; financial crises and international capital flows; and, the role of the private sector Microfinance. Focusing on the roles of the World Bank and the IMF and with a host of case studies and real world examples from Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as the “transition” economies of Eastern Europe, the author examines developing countries’ engagement with the international financial system and its influence on the process of human development, both positive and negative.

Denver Draw: The Gamblers
Publisher: Harper | 2007-10-01 | ISBN: 0060890207 | PDF | 288 pages | 0.5 MB
On the run from the assassins who murdered his family, Ty Butler found a new way to survive: with a few good hands, a loaded gun, and a little luck. But lying low and keeping out of his hunters’ gunsights is getting harder to do since he started earning a serious rep at the poker table—and especially now that he’s made some new friends . . . named Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday.

In Denver, Butler finds Holliday in the clutches of corrupt lawmen. Doc’s wanted for murder back in Tombstone, and he’d rather go out in a blazing gunfight than face an Arizona hanging judge. All Butler has to do is keep Doc breathing until Earp and Masterson arrive to spring him—and that won’t be easy. The Gambler’s been dealt into a dangerous game with too many killers anteing up. And this time Ty Butler just might be drawing dead.

Keiko Takahashi, “Beyond the Dyad: Conceptualization of Social Networks-human Development 2005″
Publisher: Not Avail | 2005-04-06 | ISBN 3805578970 | PDF | 114 pages | 1.3 MB
There is consensus among social scientists that human beings from infants to elderly people develop social relationships with multiple significant others. In fact, everyday observations of individuals reveal that even infants interact not only with their mother, but also with a variety of significant others. However, the attachment theory, which has dominated theories and empirical studies of social relationships, has argued for a narrower framework.

In this special issue, four theoretical papers, each of which provides models of social interaction that go beyond the mother-child dyad, are presented. They theoretically contrast the attachment with the mother to relationships with multiple significant others, and show that models assessing multiple relationships to others are more predicative of subsequent social and emotional adjustment. Commentaries, including attachment theorists and anthropologists to deepen the discussion, are also presented.

Shadows of Reality: The Fourth Dimension in Relativity, Cubism, and Modern Thought
Publisher: Yale University Press | ISBN: 0300110391 | edition 2006 | PDF | 160 pages | 1,7 mb

In this insightful book, which is a revisionist math history as well as a revisionist art history, Tony Robbin, well known for his innovative computer visualizations of hyperspace, investigates different models of the fourth dimension and how these are applied in art and physics. Robbin explores the distinction between the slicing, or Flatland, model and the projection, or shadow, model. He compares the history of these two models and their uses and misuses in popular discussions.

Robbin breaks new ground with his original argument that Picasso used the projection model to invent cubism, and that Minkowski had four-dimensional projective geometry in mind when he structured special relativity. The discussion is brought to the present with an exposition of the projection model in the most creative ideas about space in contemporary mathematics such as twisters, quasicrystals, and quantum topology. Robbin clarifies these esoteric concepts with understandable drawings and diagrams.
Robbin proposes that the powerful role of projective geometry in the development of current mathematical ideas has been long overlooked and that our attachment to the slicing model is essentially a conceptual block that hinders progress in understanding contemporary models of spacetime. He offers a fascinating review of how projective ideas are the source of some of today’s most exciting developments in art, math, physics, and computer visualization.

Megamedia: How Giant Corporations Dominate Mass Media, Distort Competition and Endanger Democracy
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers | ISBN: 0847683893 | edition 1998 | CHM | 288 pages | 1,12 mb
Media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates and corporate conglomerates such as Time-Warner and Disney are increasingly dominating the world of media - from TV to radio, to newspapers and books, movies and even the Internet. This text suggests that because only a handful of organizations control the media, the population suffers both as media consumers and citizens. Censorship creeps in not from government, but from the protection of conglomerate interest.

The text looks at the ominous impact of this control of the mass media, and suggests ways to hold big corporate media responsible for not only increasing diversity but also presenting society with fair and unbiased information.

Y.Gordon - Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack-The Russian Answer to the B-1
Midland | 2003 | ISBN: 1857801474 | 130 pages | PDF | 108.81 MB
Red Star vol.9

The book gives the full story of how the Soviet Union’s most potent strategic bomber, the Tupolev Tu-160 (known to the Western world as the Blackjack) was designed, built and put into operational service. The author reveals many unknown aspects of the Tu-160 story, including the development tender in which many of the Soviet Union’s top-class aircraft design companies participated.
The book is richly illustrated with color photos, many of which were taken at the Long-Range Aviation base in Engels which is home to the Russian Air Force’s Tu-160s. The book is all the more interesting since Russia is now resuming production of the Tu-160 to bolster its strategic potential in order to offset the reduction in ballistic missiles.

Separation Methods In Proteomics by: John Piro (Author), Gary B. Smejkal (Editor), Alexander Lazarev (Editor)
Publisher: CRC Press | 12 Dec 2005 | ISBN: 0824726995 | Pages: 536 | PDF | 7.38 MB
Separation Methods in Proteomics provides a comprehensive examination of all major separation techniques for proteomics research. The editors take a broad survey of the field, avoiding bias to any particular method. Coverage extends across the entire process, from sample preparation to clinical and research applications such as drug and biomarker discovery. The book provides detailed discussions on prefractionation methods, electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and NMR techniques, among others.

Demonstrating applications to clinical and basic research, the text is ideal for scientists in proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, biomarker discovery, and drug discovery.

From the Back Cover
Driven by the widespread growth of proteomic practices, protein separation techniques have been refined to minimize variability, optimize particular applications, and adapt to user preferences in the analysis of proteins.

Separation Methods in Proteomics provides a comprehensive examination of all major separation techniques for proteomics research.
Written as a compilation of hands-on methods exemplified by the work of several recognized leaders in the field, this book may serve as a guide for selection of the optimal separation strategies to solve particular biological problems.

Recent progress in the development of robust analytical techniques and instrumentation has created the need for good quality biological samples that are subject to analysis. Emphasizing the importance of sample preparation, the book explains how proteomes can be divided into smaller, less complicated “subproteomes” for individual analysis. It also highlights several hybrid approaches that take into account protein interactions.

Including applications of the separation methods currently employed in proteomic analyses for both clinical and basic research, Separation Methods in Proteomics contains practical information that can enhance the current and future endeavors of scientists in proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, biomarker discovery, and drug discovery.

The Origins of Violence: Religion, History and Genocide
Publisher: Pluto Press | ISBN: 0745325440 | edition 2008 | CHM | 272 pages | 1,12 mb

From primatology to ancient Greece and Rome to the Bible, early-modern Europe and the Enlightenment, Docker’s profound and original analyses provide a deeply unsettling narrative of the longevity of human practices of group violence.

At the same time as The Origins of Violence dethrones regnant frameworks of genocide studies that stress the role of modernity or the state, and invites us to historicise genocide into the very longue duree, it challenges us to recognise the uncomfortable truth that genocidal tendencies remain tolerated, even celebrated, today - and not only in ‘developing countries’ - whenever they cohere with states’ self-images. A Gandhian plea for non-violence that shockingly demonstrates the almost Sisyphean nature of the task.

Edmund W. Jupp, “Brick Watching”
Publisher: Intellect (UK) | 2003-12 | ISBN 1841508063 | PDF | 53 pages | 1.5 MB
The aim of the “Watching” series is to draw attention to some of the very interesting items around us, things that perhaps we don’t notice as much as we might. The first was “Bridge Watching”, and when this was put “on the Net” it produced, to the surprise of the author, such a pleasant flood of e-mail that another was written, called “Water Watching”. This, too, was kindly received. So it was tempting to continue with the theme.

Brick-watching is an inexpensive pastime, which can turn an old brick wall into an exciting find, and bring to your attention the fascination that is hidden from those who look but don’t see, or perhaps see but don’t look. It is taken for granted that everyone knows that a brick is a lump of clay moulded into a rectangular block and then baked; but there is of course much more to it than that. Armed with a little knowledge, every brick structure is an item of interest, something to be noticed, perhaps to be jotted down in a record, or photographed, drawn, painted, remembered. The author hopes that this gentle approach will provide some insight into the esoteric world of bricks, and will increase the pleasure of finding and studying the many brick structures (including the multitude of fascinating ruins) not only locally but all over the world. It might even convert the reader from being indifferent to becoming enthusiastic.

Active Radio: Pacifica’s Brash Experiment
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press | ISBN: 0816631565 | edition 1999 | PDF | 179 pages | 1,1 mb
In April 1949, KPFA in Berkeley, California, went on the air. From the beginning, the station broadcast an utterly new combination of political commentary and cultural discussion that reflected founder Lewis Hill’s vision of a radio station dedicated to creative expression and dissent. In this fascinating account, Jeff Land tells the heroic story of the Pacifica radio network, exploring not only its role in the culture and politics of the postwar world but also the practical model it pioneered for liberatory alternatives to commercial mass media.

A network of five stations (in Berkeley, Los Angeles, Houston, New York City, and Washington, D.C.), Pacifica has been actively involved in nearly every progressive political movement of the past fifty years. The network has risked the loss of its licenses and made errors of judgment and taste; its transmitters were bombed; its personnel have been arrested and jailed. Yet it pioneered a number of media innovations, listener sponsorship and call-in radio among them. It has made history: on Pacifica stations, Seymour Hersh broke the My Lai story; the FBI’s illegal internal surveillance program was first publicly revealed; the Firesign Theater gave its first performance; and Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” made its public debut.

Educacion Para La Ciudadania
Publisher: Fernandez Liria | ISBN: 8478274804 | edition 1999 | PDF | 440 pages | 5,44 mb

A principios del siglo XXI, en la España `democrática`, un partido `socialista` está a punto de aprobar una asignatura que en la precarizada educación pública pretende `concienciar`, `animar` a los futuros ciudadanos a la `participación democrática`, en un contexto nacional e internacional cada vez más degradado por la voracidad capitalista. Este ensayo es un tremendo contraataque a tamaña farsa.

Ofrece un profundo análisis, auque expresado con llaneza y claridad, en torno a conceptos sociales y éticos tan importantes como la Ciudadanía, la Democracia, la Libertad (pública e individual), el Derecho, la Ley… desde los orígenes del debate en la Grecia clásica, pasando por la Ilustración hasta el convulso siglo XX. El resultado de esta revisión es demoledor: la grandeza de los planteamientos teóricos en los momentos cumbres del discurrir filosófico y político de la Historia de Occidente -la Grecia clásica, la Revolución francesa, las democracias modernas- resulta inversamente proporcional a la miseria, la injusticia, la violencia, la mezquindad y el horror humanos que han caracterizado en el plano `práctico`, a ras de tierra, en todo tiempo y lugar a las sociedades humanas, con una virulencia sin límites en el Capitalismo brutal del último siglo y las cómplices democracias occidentales.
La obra revela con datos precisos, directos y sin miramientos políticamente correctos, las principales estrategias de las mal llamadas democracias modernas para perpetuar el desequilibrio, cómo cada intento revolucionario de las sociedades para cambiar el sistema neoliberal capitalista e instaurar otros modelos más justos (comunismo y anarquismo) ha sido violentamente reducido por los mismos estados adalides de la Democracia internacional -se atiende a los casos de Cuba y el cono sur latinoamericano, la URSS, la España de principios de siglo, etc.-. Asimismo se defienden con contundencia los actuales y `vivos` intentos revolucionarios en América latina. Los autores realizan un esfuerzo poco usual por manejar materias en principio tan densas y `adultas` del modo más accesible e incluso atractivo para cualquier adolescente medio. Las geniales y corrosivas ilustraciones de Miguel Brieva constituyen un pilar fundamental para la obra, que adquiere una riqueza y calado crítico indispensable para las nuevas generaciones de cualquier democracia actual.

Discotic Liquid Crystals: From Dynamics to Conductivity by: O.V. Kruglova
Publisher: IOS Press, US | illustrated edition (1 April 2007) | ISBN: 1586037455 | Pages: 128 | PDF | 2.57 MB
In this dissertation the dependency between structure and dynamics, and its influence on charge transfer properties of self-assembling discotic liquid crystalline materials, are studied in some detail. Dynamics was probed by quasielastic neutron scattering (protons) and PR-TRMC (charge carriers). Both techniques are complimentary since they give information about different parts of a single system and they should give the same qualitative result.

This book starts with a brief overview of liquid crystals in general, and discotic liquid crystals in particular. Subsequently, a theory of neutron scattering is discussed in detail followed by description of the continuous time random walk model on which the fractional diffusion equation is built. Solution of that fractional diffusion equation represents van Hove correlation Function that is measured in neutron scattering experiment. The model for relaxation kinetics in a correlating environment parameterizes the van Hove correlation function and gives a more physical insight of the processes occurring in system. After a short description of the conduction process, the possible connection between molecular dynamics and charge carrier motion is examined.

Publisher: Dundurn Press | 2004-06-22 | ISBN 1550025031 | PDF | 360 pages | 10 MB

They fork out 100 million for starter castles, 500,000 for a customized Mercedes, and 1.2 million for a watch. While Generation Deluxe explores the spending patterns of the wealthy, a dark underside emerges: excessive consumerism is creating serious damage to the environment and human life.

Simultaneously, the super-rich - and celebrities - are raising awareness and spending multi-millions cleaning up the damage and, as never before, funding solutions to global problems of poverty, hunger, and disease prevention.

A Gyrovector Space Approach to Hyperbolic Geometry
Publisher: Morgan & Claypool Publishers | ISBN: 1598298224 | edition 2009 | PDF | 182 pages | 1,34 mb
The mere mention of hyperbolic geometry is enough to strike fear in the heart of the undergraduate mathematics and physics student. Some regard themselves as excluded from the profound insights of hyperbolic geometry so that this enormous portion of human achievement is a closed door to them.

The mission of this book is to open that door by making the hyperbolic geometry of Bolyai and Lobachevsky, as well as the special relativity theory of Einstein that it regulates, accessible to a wider audience in terms of novel analogies that the modern and unknown share with the classical and familiar.

Michael Huber, “Flag-transitive Steiner Designs (Frontiers in Mathematics)”
Birkhauser Basel | 2009-03-01 | ISBN: 3034600011 | 124 pages | PDF | 1 MB
The monograph provides the first full discussion of flag-transitive Steiner designs. This is a central part of the study of highly symmetric combinatorial configurations at the interface of several mathematical disciplines, like finite or incidence geometry, group theory, combinatorics, coding theory, and cryptography. In a sufficiently self-contained and unified manner the classification of all flag-transitive Steiner designs is presented.

This recent result settles interesting and challenging questions that have been object of research for more than 40 years. Its proof combines methods from finite group theory, incidence geometry, combinatorics, and number theory.

The book contains a broad introduction to the topic, along with many illustrative examples. Moreover, a census of some of the most general results on highly symmetric Steiner designs is given in a survey chapter.

The monograph is addressed to graduate students in mathematics and computer science as well as established researchers in design theory, finite or incidence geometry, coding theory, cryptography, algebraic combinatorics, and more generally, discrete mathematics.

Julia Gerlach, “Zwischen Pop und Dschihad. Muslimische Jugendliche in Deutschland”
Ch. Links Verlag | 2006 | ISBN: 3861534045 | 256 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Die Anschläge von Fanatikern in New York, Madrid und London sowie »Ehrenmorde« und der Karikaturenstreit haben den Blick auf die Muslime verändert. Über den Islam herzuziehen ist auch in Deutschland inzwischen Mode geworden. Dabei will die überwiegende Mehrheit der Muslime mit Terror und Gewalt nichts zu tun haben und folgt ganz anderen Maximen.
In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich eine neue islamische Jugendbewegung gebildet, die sich als Gegenpol zu Al Qaida versteht: statt langer Bärte und Schleier trägt man Jeans und modische Kopftücher. Die Stars dieser Pop-islamischen Bewegung regen die Jugendlichen dazu an, sich in der modernen Gesellschaft zu behaupten, zu engagieren und zugleich die Regeln eines konservativen Islams zu befolgen. Julia Gerlach hat über Jahre in muslimischen Gruppen Deutschlands und der islamischen Welt recherchiert und zeichnet ein differenziertes Bild von der neuen Jugendbewegung und ihren politischen Vorstellungen.

Jon Meacham, “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House”
Random House | 2008-11-11 | ISBN: 1400063256, 0812973461, 0739328174 | 512 pages | PDF | 6,3 MB
Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy.

Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson’s presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the human drama–the family, the women, and the inner circle of advisers–that shaped Jackson’s private world through years of storm and victory.

One of our most significant yet dimly recalled presidents, Jackson was a battle-hardened warrior, the founder of the Democratic Party, and the architect of the presidency as we know it. His story is one of violence, sex, courage, and tragedy. With his powerful persona, his evident bravery, and his mystical connection to the people, Jackson moved the White House from the periphery of government to the center of national action, articulating a vision of change that challenged entrenched interests to heed the popular will–or face his formidable wrath. The greatest of the presidents who have followed Jackson in the White House–from Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt to FDR to Truman–have found inspiration in his example, and virtue in his vision.

Jackson was the most contradictory of men. The architect of the removal of Indians from their native lands, he was warmly sentimental and risked everything to give more power to ordinary citizens. He was, in short, a lot like his country: alternately kind and vicious, brilliant and blind; and a man who fought a lifelong war to keep the republic safe–no matter what it took.

Jon Meacham in American Lion has delivered the definitive human portrait of a pivotal president who forever changed the American presidency–and America itself.

Ion Exchange Materials: Properties and Applications by: Andrei A. Zagorodni
Publisher: Elsevier Science | 2 Nov 2006 | ISBN: 0080445527 | Pages: 496 | PDF | 15.9 MB

Ion Exchange Materials: Properties and Applications fills a “two-dimensional” gap in books currently available on the subject. Firstly, there is a lack of modern comprehensive publications on the chemistry of ion exchange materials and on the relationships between their properties and practical applications. Secondly, there are few books on ion exchange chemistry that are targeted to industrial R&D specialists and research students who (i) do not work with ion exchange on a daily basis, (ii) need to develop competence in this area, and (iii) find it difficult to start studying the subject from primary scientific publications.

The book bridges these gaps by describing classical and modern theoretical concepts, as well as practical approaches for using ion exchange materials. Ion exchange materials combine properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous materials. Besides being an interesting subject for investigation, they are essential in a wide variety of industrial technologies: in the chemical and biochemical industries, pharmacy, medicine, microelectronics, the nuclear industry, food production, waste treatment, and many other areas. Ion exchange is a powerful tool in chemical analysis and scientific research. The main focus in this book is on ion exchange polymers: ion exchange resins, chelating resins, imprinted (templated), and other functional polymers. It provides an in-depth study of ion exchange materials, suitable for postgraduate students and R&D industrial specialists in chemistry, chemical and biochemical technology.

* Comprehensively covers the subject.
* Provides links between theoretical concepts, material properties, practical applications, and technical solutions.
* Easy to understand - requires only ground knowledge of university-level chemistry and can be read without an in-depth knowledge of mathematics.
* Supported with an interactive web-site.

When the Press Fails: Political Power and the News Media from Iraq to Katrina
(Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion) By W. Lance Bennett, Regina G. Lawrence, Steven Livingston
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press 2007 | 278 Pages | ISBN: 0226042847 | PDF | 1.1 MB

A sobering look at the intimate relationship between political power and the news media, When the Press Fails argues the dependence of reporters on official sources disastrously thwarts coverage of dissenting voices from outside the Beltway. The result is both an indictment of official spin and an urgent call to action that questions why the mainstream press failed to challenge the Bush administration’s arguments for an invasion of Iraq or to illuminate administration policies underlying the Abu Ghraib controversy.

Drawing on revealing interviews with Washington insiders and analysis of content from major news outlets, the authors illustrate the media’s unilateral surrender to White House spin whenever oppositional voices elsewhere in government fall silent. Contrasting these grave failures with the refreshingly critical reporting on Hurricane Katrina—a rare event that caught officials off guard, enabling journalists to enter a no-spin zone—When the Press Fails concludes by proposing new practices to reduce reporters’ dependence on power.

“The hand-in-glove relationship of the U.S. media with the White House is mercilessly exposed in this determined and disheartening study that repeatedly reveals how the press has toed the official line at those moments when its independence was most needed.”—George Pendle, Financial Times

“Bennett, Lawrence, and Livingston are indisputably right about the news media’s dereliction in covering the administration’s campaign to take the nation to war against Iraq.”—Don Wycliff, Chicago Tribune “[This] analysis of the weaknesses of Washington journalism deserves close attention.”—Russell Baker, New York Review of Books

The Intestines of the State: Youth, Violence, and Belated Histories in the Cameroon Grassfields By Nicolas Argenti
Publisher: University Of Chicago Press 2007 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0226026124 | PDF | 2 MB

The young people of the Cameroon Grassfields have been subject to a long history of violence and political marginalization. For centuries the main victims of the slave trade, they became prime targets for forced labor campaigns under a series of colonial rulers. Today’s youth remain at the bottom of the fiercely hierarchical and polarized societies of the Grassfields, and it is their response to centuries of exploitation that Nicolas Argenti takes up in this absorbing and original book.

Beginning his study with a political analysis of youth in the Grassfields from the eighteenth century to the present, Argenti pays special attention to the repeated violent revolts staged by young victims of political oppression. He then combines this history with extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the Oku chiefdom, discovering that the specter of past violence lives on in the masked dance performances that have earned intense devotion from today’s youth. Argenti contends that by evoking the imagery of past cataclysmic events, these masquerades allow young Oku men and women to address the inequities they face in their relations with elders and state authorities today.

Charis Thompson, «Making Parents: The Ontological Choreography of Reproductive Technlogies»
MIT Press | ISBN: 0262201569 | 2005 | PDF | 372 pages | 1.35 MB
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) makes babies and parents at once. Drawing on science and technology studies and feminist theory and on historical and ethnographic analyses of ART clinics, Charis Thompson explores the intertwining of biological reproduction with the personal, political, and technological meanings of reproduction. She analyzes the “ontological choreography” at ART clinics - the dynzmics by which technical, scientific, kinship, gender, emotional, legal, political, financial, and other matters are coordinated - using ethnographic data to address questions usually treated in the abstract.

Reproductive technologies, says Thompson, are part of the increasing tendency to turn social problems into biomedical questions and can be used as a lens through which to see the resulting changes in the relations between science and society. After giving an account of the book’s disciplinary roots in science and technology studies and in feminist scholarship on reproduction, Thompson comes to the ethnographic heart of her study. She develops her concept of ontological choreography by examining ART’s normalization of “miraculous” technology (including the etiquette of technological sex); gender identity in the assigned roles of mother and father and the conservative nature of gender relations in the clinic; the naturalization of technologically assisted kinship and procreative intent; and patients’ pursuit of agency through objectification and technology. Finally, Thompson explores the economies of reproductive technologies, concluding with a speculative and polemical look at the “biomedical mode of reproduction” as a predictor of future relations between science and society.

Jack D. Schwager - Stock Market Wizards: Interviews with America’s Top Stock Traders
Collins | 2001 | ISBN: 0066620589 | Pages: 352 | PDF | 1.06 MB

Acclaimed trading expert and bestselling author of the Market Wizards books, Jack Schwager, has returned with a new and fascinating collection of interviews with the best stock market traders and investors of our time.

Focusing exclusively on successful players in the stock market, Schwager delivers informative profiles and trading strategies from fifteen traders and investors who have ridden the most dynamic bull market in U.S. history to stunning success.

The past decade has witnessed the market-shaking introduction of the Internet, a collapse in commodity prices, and dramatic failures in some of the world’s leading hedge funds. How have these traders managed to dwarf the already substantial gains realized by the stock market during the 1990s, while largely sidestepping the market’s periodic downdrafts? What separates them from ordinary investors, and even the vast majority of professional fund managers? And what lessons can the average trader or investor learn from these exceptional traders?

Schwager gets the answers from phenomenally successful traders, including

* Michael Lauer, an outspoken fund manager, who explains why he believes many of the country’s leading mutual funds are following a flawed strategy and whose own fund provided investors with a 50-fold return in seven years
* Mark Cook, a midwestern farmer who registered back-to-back annual gains of 563 and 322 percent in national trading contests he entered in 1992 and 1993 and has continued to realize stratospheric returns in his own account since then
* Steve Lescarbeau, who developed a computerized trading model that has earned him an average of 70 percent per year with an incredibly low maximum drawdown of only 3 percent
* Steve Cohen, a modern-day trading legend who manages billions and who has averaged trading returns of 90 percent during the past seven years with only three down months (the worst, a minuscule 2 percent loss)
* Mark Minervini, a junior high school dropout, who has averaged a 220 percent annual return during the past five years, while keeping his maximum quarterly loss to a fraction of one percent

These are just a few of the traders you’ll meet in Stock Market Wizards’ all-star lineup of market masters.

In the final chapter, Schwager pulls it all together, distilling the essential advice and insights from all the interviews into a list of 65 market lessons, which are bound to be invaluable to both novices and market professionals.

Stock Market Wizards gives you the stories, tips. and an inside glimpse into today’s vibrant market and the traders who can ride the bull, battle the bear, and still come out on top.

Sex Offending: Causal Theories to Inform Research, Prevention, and Treatment (Law and Public Policy)
Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) | ISBN: 0979212529 | edition 2008 | PDF | 278 pages | 15,7 mb

Why do some men commit sex offenses? While the question might seem straightforward, the answer is anything but. In this book, the authors review and critique existing theories and the supporting literature on why adolescent and adult males commit such acts as child molestation, voyeurism, indecent exposure, rape, and other violent offenses against adults and children. Chapters explore a range of theories of etiology, including biological, cognitive, behavioral, social learning, personality/psychodynamic, and evolutionary theories, as well as theories that incorporate two or more of these viewpoints.

The authors then present their original integrative theory of sex offending, and the ways it could influence prevention and treatment.

This book acknowledges that women can and do perpetrate sex offenses but focuses exclusively on developing a theory for male sex offenders. Scientists across psychology sub-disciplines and mental health professionals treating sex offenders will benefit from this book, as will law professionals working with this population. Public health officials and other policymakers charged with prevention and community awareness about sex offending will also find much food for thought in this book.

A Promise Given
Publisher: Avon | ISBN: 0380786087 | edition 1998 | PDF | 384 pages | 1 mb
A PROMISE GIVEN
The proud head of his Highland clan, Ian MacGregor has returned, cloaked in secrets, to the place where he spent many carefree years, in order to marry Margaret Kincaid–the lowlands lass to whom he has been betrothed since his youth. But it is the wild spirited and hauntingly beautiful Sabrina Kincaid who catches Ian’s eye. And when Margaret mysteriously vanishes, he willingly accepts Sabrina as his bride in her sister’s stead.

A PROMISE KEPT
Dutybound to honor her father’s wish, Sabrina reluctantly agrees to wed the rugged chieftain–though she fears the rumors of Ian’s dark past. . .and the whispers that now blame him for Margaret’s disappearance. But her sensuous soul bids her to pay no heed to her doubts and mistrust, and to submit instead to the searing passions that burn within her. For Ian’s stirring yet tender caress speaks of a noble, gentle heart. And if peril is Sabrina’s fate, so be it–for she is determined to learn the truths that will set them both free and carry them aloft together on the wings of incomparable love.

The End of Software: Transforming Your Business for the On Demand Future
Publisher: Sams | ISBN: 0672326981 | edition 2004 | PDF | 192 pages | 1 mb
Do you know what is the real cost of your software? Before you reach for a calculator, be forewarned that it’s a trick question. Even technology industry analysts and seasoned IT executives have difficulty putting a hard figure on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of today’s enterprise application solutions. What makes the equation so tricky is the sheer number of variables that must be factored in, many of which cannot be lined up in a neat column and reconciled, such as issues of security, availability, performance, problem resolution and change management.

The End of Software: Transforming Your Business for the On Demand Future, by Dr. Timothy Chou, is a groundbreaking book for business managers and executives that challenges conventional approaches to business software and proposes new alternatives to managing and maintaining the systems that companies depend on.

Nonstandard Queries and Nonstandard Answers (Studies in Logic and Computation, Vol 3)
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0198538529 | edition 1994 | PDF | 296 pages | 11,8 mb

Future data and knowledge base systems will require new and improved functions such as richer data modeling capabilities, more powerful query languages, and new conceptions of query answers. Future query languages will need to include hypothetical, abductive, meta-, and modal reasoning, involving both knowledge and belief. And intentional answers will ultimately lead to cooperative query answering which takes into consideration a user’s expectations. This book explores the formalization of new queries and answers, and emphasizes the important role of non-classical logic.

It shows how logic permits precise definitions for concepts like cooperative answers, subjective queries, and reliable sources of information. The work also gives a precise framework for reasoning about such complex concepts. Topics include cooperative query answering, metareasoning and abductive reasoning, and hypothetical and subjunctive reasoning. Students and researchers in database computing and artificial intelligence will want to read this book.

The Dream of Spaceflight: Essays on the Near Edge of Infinity
Publisher: Da Capo Press | ISBN: 0306810484 | edition 2001 | PDF | 176 pages | 12,8 mb

First time in paperback: In the tradition of Loren Eisley-”[A] beautifully written book” (Sir Arthur C. Clarke) on the human drive to explore space.
One of few truly gifted essayists who have turned their talents to science, Wyn Wachhorst here fashions a luminous meditation on the meaning of space exploration from a montage of images and reflections on humanity’s dream of spaceflight.

In a survey of major figures from Johannes Kepler to Wernher von Braun, he sees in the rise of spaceflight a metaphor of modern history as a recurrent story of transformation and rebirth. Other essays offer new perspectives on the nature of wonder, recall the romantic vision of the decades prior to Sputnik (”nostalgia for a bygone future”), and look at the larger meaning of the moon landing, seeing in spaceflight not only a spiritual quest in the broadest sense of the word, but a cure for the withered capacity for wonder that afflicts the postmodern mind.

Kyriacos Athanasiou, Johanna Sanchez-adams, “Engineering the Knee Meniscus (Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering)”
Morgan & Claypool Publishers | 2009 | ISBN: 1598298720 | 120 pages | PDF | 5,8 MB

We have written
this text such that undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers will find it useful as
a first foray into tissue engineering, a cohesive study of the meniscus, or a reference for meniscus
engineering specifications.

PREFACE:
The inspiration for writing this monograph came from our desire to highlight important
aspects of the knee meniscus as they relate to tissue engineering and outline historical and current
advances in the field. Our goal was to create a cohesive, logical, and graphic work that guides
the reader through a study of the meniscus through the eyes of a tissue engineer. We hope that
undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers alike will find this information useful as
an introductory guide to engineering the meniscus or a reference for future engineering attempts.
The first half of the monograph focuses on native characteristics of the knee meniscus including
its biochemical makeup, mechanical properties, and the limited ability of the tissue to self-repair.
The second half reviews tissue engineering attempts aimed at recreating meniscus biochemistry and
mechanics to repair damaged tissue, and highlights important considerations for meniscus tissue
engineers. Throughout the chapters particular emphasis is placed on the functional aspect of the
meniscus and its importance in a tissue engineered construct. We hope that the overall outline
of this book allows the reader to understand the complexity of the knee meniscus and the need
for engineered meniscus tissue, while providing enough background to evaluate recent engineering
attempts. By documenting the field of meniscus engineering in this way, we aim to educate and
inspire innovation from current and future researchers.

Oracle 10g Developing Media Rich Applications
Publisher: Digital Press | ISBN: 1555583318 | edition 2006 | PDF | 520 pages | 3,8 mb

Oracle 10g Developing Media Rich Applications is focused squarely on database administrators and programmers as the foundation of multimedia database applications. With the release of Oracle8 Database in 1997, Oracle became the first commercial database with integrated multimedia technology for application developers.

Since that time, Oracle has enhanced and extended these features to include native support for image, audio, video and streaming media storage; indexing, retrieval and processing in the Oracle Database, Application Server; and development tools. Databases are not only words and numbers for accountants, but they also should utilize a full range of media to satisfy customer needs, from race car engineers, to manufacturing processes to security.

The full range of audio, video and integration of media into databases is mission critical to these applications. This book details the most recent features in Oracle’s multimedia technology including those of the Oracle10gR2 Database and the Oracle9i Application Server. The technology covered includes: object relational media storage and services within the database, middle tier application development interfaces, wireless delivery mechanisms, and Java-based tools.

* Gives broad coverage to integration of multimedia features such as audio and instrumentation video, from race cars to analyze performance, to voice and picture recognition for security data bases. As well as full multimedia for presentations
* Includes field tested examples in enterprise environments
* Provides coverage in a thorough and clear fashion developed in a London University Professional Course

Albert Einstein - Relativity 2nd Edition
Routledge | 2001 | ISBN: 0415255384, 0415253845, 0203198719, 0203198743 | Pages: 176 | PDF | 1.22 MB

“The present book is intended,” Einstein wrote in 1916, “as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics….

In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that I should repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightest attention to the elegance of the presentation. I adhered scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be left to the tailor and to the cobbler.” But it is elegant, in part because of the 1920 translation, by Robert W. Lawson, a British physicist who had polished his German while a prisoner of war in Austria. The introduction, by science writer Nigel Calder, guides the reader through the work section by section, even giving advice on which sections to skip, or at least not to worry about, if you can’t “accompany Einstein through the forest of tricky ideas contained in this slim volume.” Okay, this book isn’t easy–again, in the master’s elegant words, it “lays no small claims on the patience and on the power of abstraction of the reader”–but it is well worth the try.

Rome’s Vestal Virgins
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415397952 | edition 2006 | PDF | 158 pages | 1.14 mb

Rome’s Vestal Virgins examines one of the most important state cults in ancient Rome and the role of the virgin priestesses in ancient Roman religion and society. It analyses the rituals these priestesses enacted, both the public rituals performed in connection with official state rites and festivals, and the private rites associated only with the order itself.

Wildfang argues that the Vestals did not participate in Rome’s family structure and that this was done to ensure that the Vestals could represent Rome as a whole in the religious sphere without any risk of pollution from a family cult. She contends that the rituals the Vestals performed on behalf of the Roman state were neither fertility rites nor reflections of traditional female activities. Instead they were rites concerned with purification, storage and the preparation of harvested grain for food use, or sometimes a combination of all three areas at once.

This exploration of the function of the Vestal Virgins in the changing Roman world, exposed to new and different cultures through the expansion of the Roman Empire, provides a new and penetrating investigation of a cult which was at the very centre of ancient Roman religion.

Jacques Ranciere, The Flesh of Words: The Politics of Writing
Stanford University Press | 2004 | ISBN 080474078X | 184 pages | pdf | 23 MB
This new collection of challenging literary studies plays with a foundational definition of Western culture: the word become flesh. But the word become flesh is not, or no longer, a theological already-given. It is a millennial goal or telos toward which each text strives.

Both witty and immensely erudite, Jacques Rancière leads the critical reader through a maze of arrivals toward the moment, perhaps always suspended, when the word finds its flesh. That is what he, a valiant and good-humored companion to these texts, goes questing for through seven essays examining a wide variety of familiar and unfamiliar works.

A text is always a commencement, the word setting out on its excursions through the implausible vicissitudes of narrative and the bizarre phantasmagorias of imagery, Don Quixote’s unsent letter reaching us through generous Balzac, lovely Rimbaud, demonic Althusser. The word is on its way to an incarnation that always lies ahead of the writer and the reader both, in this anguished democracy of language where the word is always taking on its flesh.

The discovery that nitrogen monoxide or nitric oxide (NO)is a biologically produced free radical has revolutionized our thinking about physiological and pathological processes. This discovery has ignited enormous interest in the scientific community. When generated at low levels, NO is a signaling molecule, but at high concentration, NO is a cytotoxic molecule.

The physiological and pathological processes of NO production and metabolism and its targets, currently areas of intensive research, have important pharmacologic implications for health and disease.

Computers in Broadcast and Cable Newsrooms: Using Technology in Television News Production (Lea’s Communication Series)
Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum | ISBN: 0805830642 | edition 2004 | PDF | 192 pages | 10,1 mb

Computers in Broadcast and Cable Newsrooms: Using Technology in Television News Production takes readers through the use of computers and software in the broadcast/cable newsroom environment. Author Phillip O. Keirstead began writing about television news technology decades ago in an effort to help television news managers cope with technological change.

In this text, he demonstrates the myriad ways in which today’s journalism is tied to technology, and he shows how television news journalists rely on varied and complex technologies to produce timely, interesting, and informative broadcasts. Using a hands-on, practical approach to cover the role computers play in various parts of the newsroom, the volume will be of great practical value to undergraduate and graduate students in advanced broadcast/news television courses.

Bladder cancer is a common and dangerous malignancy which is associated with a variety of known and unknown environmental factors. Clinical management and surgical techniques prioritise detection and treatment of early tumours, which form the majority of newly diagnosed cancers. Imaging is central to establishing the presence of more advanced disease, for which a variety of treatment options exist, including radical curative surgery with or without bladder reconstruction, radiation therapy with curative or palliative intent, and systemic or local chemotherapy.

Imaging techniques continue to evolve and this volume explores the relevance of CT with multidetector array, MRI, and computer-based reconstructions such as ‘virtual cystoscopy’ to treatment choices in today’s practice. A review of follow-up strategies and the imaging appearances of treated disease is presented, along with descriptions of modern surgical techniques, radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens.

Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, Third Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann | ISBN: 0123704804 | edition 2007 | PDF | 496 pages | 2,5 mb

Traditionally, networking has had little or no basis in analysis or architectural development, with designers relying on technologies they are most familiar with or being influenced by vendors or consultants. However, the landscape of networking has changed so that network services have now become one of the most important factors to the success of many third generation networks.

It has become an important feature of the designer?s job to define the problems that exist in his network, choose and analyze several optimization parameters during the analysis process, and then prioritize and evaluate these parameters in the architecture and design of the system.

Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, 3e, uses a systems methodology approach to teaching these concepts, which views the network (and the environment it impacts) as part of the larger system, looking at interactions and dependencies between the network and its users, applications, and devices. This approach matches the new business climate where customers drive the development of new services and the book discusses how networks can be architected and designed to provide many different types of services to customers. With a number of examples, analogies, instructor tips, and exercises, this book works through the processes of analysis, architecture, and design step by step, giving designers a solid resource for making good design decisions.

With examples, guidelines, and general principles McCabe illuminates how a network begins as a concept, is built with addressing protocol, routing, and management, and harmonizes with the interconnected technology around it. Other topics covered in the book are learning to recognize problems in initial design, analyzing optimization parameters, and then prioritizing these parameters and incorporating them into the architecture and design of the system. This is an essential book for any professional that will be designing or working with a network on a routine basis.

*Substantially updated design content includes ad hoc networks, GMPLS, IPv6, and mobile networking
*Written by an expert in the field that has designed several large-scale networks for government agencies, universities, and corporations
*Incorporates real-life ideas and experiences of many expert designers along with case studies and end-of-chapter exercises

World Bank Publications | 2001 | ISBN: 082134904X | 420 pages | PDF | 23 MB
A large proportion of the 100 historic cities and nearly 200 sacred sites on the World Heritage List are located in the developing world. Of key concern is how historic cities fare against the population pressures, crumbling infrastructure, and eroding economic base of the developing world. This text investigates the effects of overpopulation and poverty on historic cities and sacred sites.

It demonstrates that taking care of humanity’s cultural heritage can regenerate self-esteem and self-identities of disempowered peoples and revive moribund economies. Consequently, cultural heritage preservation and poverty reduction are closely related.

Reactive Oxygen Species in Biological Systems by: Carol Colton (Editor), Daniel Gilbert (Editor)
Publisher: Springer | 31 Jan 1999 | ISBN: 0306457563 | Pages: 740 | PDF | 21 MB

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) which include free radicals, peroxides, singlet oxygen, ozone, and nitrogen monoxide and dioxide free radicals, is an area of intense research. This volume covers (1) the destruction of cellular function by ROS resulting in pathological states; (2) the protection by ROS of an organism against invading organisms that cause infections; and (3) the role of ROS in normal physiological processes. Designed for beginning graduate students, this book gives a concise overview of the field.

The book organizes the information in order to understand how the oxygen can rose into the reactive oxygen species (ROS), why are they important and how when uncontrolled they can be harmful. It goes over a variety of items about the action of these ROS and the mechanisms that have been developed in living organisms to keep them in balance. The authors are experts in the field and have made an extremely good effort to coordinate this multiauthorial book. This book is the most complete one in the subject and covers very recent data which makes it as a “must read” for graduate and postgraduate students and even researchers in the field.

Narrative Knowing and the Human Sciences (SUNY Series in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences)
Publisher: State University of New York Press | ISBN: 0887066232 | edition 1988 | CHM | 232 pages | 1 mb
Preface
The impetus for this book came from two nagging concerns about my profession that have intensified for me during the last decade. The first was an unresolved personal conflict between my work as an academic researcher on the one hand and as a practicing psychotherapist on the other. I view my discipline, psychology, as a unified enterprise, and have supported the ideal of the integration of its scientific and professional aspects; yet I have not found the findings of academic research of much help in my work as a clinician, something that I find disconcerting.
My own unsettled feelings about integrating research and practice are not idiosyncratic. The psychology doctoral students I teach express the same feelings of discontinuity between their clinical internship experiences and the research sequence (including the dissertation) that is part of their curriculum. Academics and practitioners seem to be growing increasingly separate, and my discipline’s organization, the American Psychological Association, has begun to institutionalize their division. Colleagues in other social sciences, moreover, describe a similar breach in their own disciplines.

Templates for the Solution of Linear Systems: Building Blocks for Iterative Methods (Miscellaneous Titles in Applied Mathematics Series No 43)
Publisher: Society for Industrial Mathematics | 1987-01-01 | ISBN: 0898713285 | PDF | 142 pages | 548 KB
Book Description:

In this book, which focuses on the use of iterative methods for solving large sparse systems of linear equations, templates are introduced to meet the needs of both the traditional user and the high-performance specialist. Templates, a description of a general algorithm rather than the executable object or source code more commonly found in a conventional software library, offer whatever degree of customization the user may desire.

Templates have three distinct advantages: they are general and reusable, they are not language specific, and they exploit the expertise of both the numerical analyst, who creates a template reflecting in-depth knowledge of a specific numerical technique, and the computational scientist, who then provides “value-added” capability to the general template description, customizing it for specific needs. For each template that is presented, the authors provide a mathematical description of the flow of the algorithm, discussion of convergence and stopping criteria to use in the iteration, suggestions for applying a method to special matrix types, advice for tuning the template, tips on parallel implementations, and hints as to when and why a method is useful.

The Emergence of Detente in Europe: Brandt, Kennedy and the Formation of Ostpolitik (Cold War History Series)
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415386373 | edition 2007 | PDF | 225 pages | 1 mb

This book examines the key relationship between Willy Brandt (the former Mayor of West Berlin and future West German Chancellor) and the administration of President John F. Kennedy.
Arne Hofmann focuses on the administration’s influence on the development of Brandt’s ‘policy of small steps’ and the formation of his later Ostpolitik, the centrepiece of European détente.

Brandt’s interaction with the Kennedy administration is traced through the Berlin Wall crisis of 1961, together with Kennedy’s search for a modus vivendi based on the status quo, the 1962 crisis in German-American relations, Brandt’s disillusionment campaign, the development of his programmatic statements, Brandt’s three meetings with the President including Kennedy’s famous visit to Berlin, the limited nuclear test ban treaty and Brandt’s Berlin pass agreement of Christmas 1963. While the narrative focuses on the gradual change in Brandt’s position, systematic parts concentrate on Brandt’s and Kennedy’s détente concepts, the triangular relationship between West Berlin, Washington and Bonn with its implication for domestic politics, and the role of images, campaigning and public opinion.
The Emergence of Détente in Europe will appeal to students of Cold War history, foreign policy, international relations and international history in general.

Thinking methods are at the heart of the chess struggle, yet most players devote little conscious effort to improving their calculating ability. Much of the previous literature on the subject has presented idealized models that have limited relevance to the hurly-burly of practical chess, or else provide little more than ad hoc suggestions. Here, experienced trainer Valeri Beim strikes a balance by explaining how to use intuition and logic together to solve tactical problems in a methodical way.

He also offers advice on when it is best to calculate `like a machine’, and when it is better to rely on intuitive assessment.

The Price of Peace: Just War in the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521860512 | edition 2007 | PDF | 358 pages | 1,8 mb

Lively political and public debates on war and morality have been a feature of the post-Cold War world. The Price of Peace argues that a re-examination of the just war tradition is therefore required. The authors suggest that despite fluctuations and transformations in international politics, the just war tradition continues to be relevant.

However they argue that it needs to be reworked to respond to the new challenges to international security represented by the end of the Cold War and the impact of terrorism. With an interdisciplinary and transatlantic approach, this volume provides a dialogue between theological, political, military and public actors. By articulating what a reconstituted just war tradition might mean in practice, it also aims to assist policy-makers and citizens in dealing with the ethical dilemmas of war.

The Construction of Preference
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521834287 | edition 2006 | PDF | 808 pages | 3,8 mb
One of the main themes that has emerged from behavioral decision research during the past three decades is the view that people’s preferences are often constructed in the process of elicitation. This idea is derived from studies demonstrating that normatively equivalent methods of elicitation (e.g., choice and pricing) give rise to systematically different responses. These preference reversals violate the principle of procedure invariance that is fundamental to all theories of rational choice.

If different elicitation procedures produce different orderings of options, how can preferences be defined and in what sense do they exist? This book shows not only the historical roots of preference construction but also the blossoming of the concept within psychology, law, marketing, philosophy, environmental policy, and economics. Decision making is now understood to be a highly contingent form of information processing, sensitive to task complexity, time pressure, response mode, framing, reference points, and other contextual factors.

William Breit, Barry T. Hirsch, “Lives of the Laureates: Twenty-three Nobel Economists”
The MIT Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0262012766 | 456 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
Lives of the Laureates offers readers an informal history of modern economic thought as told through autobiographical essays by twenty-three Nobel Prize Laureates in Economics. The essays not only provide unique insights into major economic ideas of our time but also shed light on the processes of intellectual discovery and creativity.

This fifth edition adds five recent Nobel laureates to its list of contributors: Vernon L. Smith (2002), Clive W. J. Granger (2003), Edward C. Prescott (2004), Thomas C. Schelling (2005) and Edmund S. Phelps (2006). Also included is the editors’ revised afterword, “Lessons from the Laureates.”

Lives of the Laureates grows out of a continuing lecture series at Trinity University in San Antonio, which invites Nobelists from American universities to describe their evolution as economists in personal as well as technical terms. Each laureate achieves the goal of clarity without sacrificing inherently difficult content: Kenneth Arrow makes grasping the essentials of his “impossibility theorem” painless; Lawrence Klein clearly presents what goes into econometric “model building”; George Stigler masterfully describes his “information theory”; and so on.

These lectures demonstrate the richness and diversity of contemporary economic thought. The reader will find that paths cross in unexpected ways—that disparate thinkers were often influenced by the same teachers—and that luck as well as hard work plays a role in the process of scientific discovery.

Elizabeth Minchin, “Homeric Voices: Discourse, Memory, Gender”
Oxford University Press | 2007 | ISBN: 0199280126 | 336 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
Homeric Voices is a study, from a compositional point of view, of the substantial speeches and exchanges of speech that Homer depicts in his songs. Drawing on research in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and cognitive psychology, Elizabeth Minchin considers the words that Homer attributes to his characters from two perspectives, as cognitive and as social phenomena.

She asks how the poet worked with memory to generate the speech forms that he represents; and how Homeric speech constructs and reveals the social hierarchies that are bound up with age, status, and gender–with particular interest in gender–in the world of the poems.

This information is added to the centralized database and network administrators are able to generate reports about each or all PCs on a network.

Total Network Inventory will collect the following hardware and software information:
Hardware-related information:
-Processor type and frequency, current clock speed, external clock, multiplier, description, manufacturer, CPU status, socket designation, etc.
-Motherboard name and manufacturer, chassis name and manufacturer, BIOS information, system and memory slots, ports, etc.
-Memory size and memory modules.
-Monitor EDID information and video adapter details.
-Name, size, type of all hard disk drives, CD, floppy and removable drives, and details about all logical disks.

Be in Control of Your Network
Inventory computers on a corporate network as if you were sitting in front of them!
Total Network Inventory can scan ALL remote computers for a broad range of information and keep this information in a centralized database. In a separate window you can look at such information as Computer Name, Registered User, Organization, Workgroup/domain, IP-address, Setup date (which is date of first computer scan by default, but can be changed to the date of actual computer installation if needed), Time of last scan (”Last updated”), User name. In addition to the collected information, you can add extra inventory information about each machine and its user. For example, you can specify such categories as Inventory Number (the number generator is provided), and add some additional notes. You can also add the information related to the user of the machine and specify user real name, department, position, phone, e-mail, etc. This adds clarity to the network inventory process.

User-focused interface
Total Network Inventory has been designed with the user in mind, which is reflected in its interface that provides quick and unobtrusive navigation through the program. Total Network Inventory starts to a Welcome window with six large, image-coded buttons: “Run Scan Wizard”, “Scan this PC”, “Show Main Window”, “Scan Other PC”, “Visit product homepage”, and “View help contents”. Depending on what you want to do, you simply click on the required button and immediately find yourself in that section of the program.
The main window of the program is divided into three areas. In the left area, there is a tree that displays all scanned remote PS’s on a network. A click on a machine in that tree returns the information about it displayed in the large central area of the main window. The “Categories” menu, floating in the right area of the interface, lets you quickly choose a topic to view in the central area (hardware, software, etc.). On top of the main window, there is a toolbar with all main commands, including “Scan Wizard”, “Rescan”, “Report Builder”, etc. The main window is free from needless features and therefore very comfortable to work with.

Scan wizard
Clicking on the “Run Scan Wizard” button in the Welcome window or on the toolbar starts the wizard that will quickly walk you through the five steps of the scan configuration. There are two types of scan available: Immediate Online Scan and Logon Script Scan. The latter type gives you an opportunity to add a call to the standalone computer scan program to users domain logon script, so you will be able to collect information about each computer which is logging on to the domain using specified logon script. The wizard will also prompt you to choose the method of computer discovery, which can be either through network places overview or by specifying a range of IP addresses to scan. The scan is fast and takes a few minutes.

Report Builder
Total Network Inventory comes with a Report Builder, which lets you generate reports with a few clicks of a button. Reports are great because they present the information about networked machines in an easy to read and understand manner. Report Builder allows you to generate a report on any topic that interests you (”Single category report”). For example, you can create a report with the information about a network adapter, IP-addresses, MAC-addresses, DHCP, DNS and WINS settings for any number of computers. Besides, in “Multiple category report” mode you can create brief reports on any combination of topics for any number of computers.

Alan Jeffreys “The British Army in the Far East 1941-45 (Osprey Battle Orders 13)”
Osprey Publishing | 2005-06-12 | ISBN: 1841767905 | 96 pages | PDF | 35 MB
Between December 1941 and May 1942, the British Empire suffered a series of humiliating defeats in the Far East. Three years later the Japanese were defeated by British and Commonwealth forces at Kohima and Imphal and in the battles for Burma. This transformation in the fortunes was in large part due to the development of jungle warfare doctrine and the resulting improvements in training, tactics and equipment.

This book examines British Army conventional forces that fought in the Far East, showing how the dissemination of doctrine improved training, and helped 14th Army’s infantry divisions secure victory.

Wayne D. Cocroft, Roger J. C. Thomas “Cold War: Building for Nuclear Confrontation 1946-1989″
None | 2003-11 | ISBN: 1873592698 | 256 pages | PDF | 53 MB

In the early 1950s, the historian Professor William Hoskins, in his pioneering work The making of the English Landscape, lamented what he saw as the devastation of the countryside by scientists, the military, and politicians. He saw his world as dominated by ‘the obscene shape of the atom-bomber, laying a trail like a filthy slug upon Constable’s and Gainsborough’s sky. England of the Nissen hut, the ‘pre-fab’, and the electric fence, of the high barbed wire around some unmentionable devilment’.

A generation later, this book reveals what lay behind the fence and how these sites now, in dereliction, form a new component of the complex landscape history of Britain.

Inner City Kids: Adolescents Confront Life and Violence in an Urban Community (Qualitative Studies in Psychology)
Publisher: NYU Press | 2000-11-01 | ISBN:0814756360 | PDF | 242 pages | 1.05 MB
Product Description:

Urban teens of color are often portrayed as welfare mothers, drop outs, drug addicts, and both victims and perpetrators of the many kinds of violence which can characterize life in urban areas. Although urban youth often live in contexts which include poverty, unemployment, and discrimination, they also live with the everydayness of school, friends, sex, television, music, and other elements of teenage lives.

Inner City Kids explores how a group of African American, Jamaican, Puerto Rican, and Haitian adolescents make meaning of and respond to living in an inner-city community.

The book focuses on areas of particular concern to the youth, such as violence, educational opportunities, and a decaying and demoralizing urban environment characterized by trash, pollution, and abandoned houses. McIntyre’s work with these teens draws upon participatory action research, which seeks to codevelop programs with study participants rather than for them, and exemplifies the youths’ efforts to create programs within their community to address their concerns. Advocating the incorporation of activism within the research experience, McIntyre here showcases the ways in which Participatory Action Research, along with community photography, can present opportunities for collaborative research with urban youth and other disempowered groups that can ultimately assist them in becoming agents of social change in their communities.

Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects, 2nd edition (Pacific Institute Series on Forensic Psychology)
Publisher: CRC | ISBN: 0849372739 | edition 2008 | PDF | 408 pages | 2,58 mb
The first wave of methamphetamine use began in the late 1980s and its prevalence has continued to rise across the United States and throughout the world. As with any harmful substance, its abuse has far-reaching ramifications that go beyond the destruction it causes to the human body. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects, Second Edition examines meth use and abuse from clinical, forensic, and criminal justice perspectives.

Updated and expanded to reflect changes in recent years, this volume covers virtually every aspect of this dangerous drug.

The book begins with a history of drug control in America, then provides global perspectives on methamphetamine use. It explores biochemical aspects and includes a chapter on the methamphetamine analogue “ecstasy.” The text examines the effects of meth use on human behavior, with a special focus on empirical evidence of amphetamine use as a contributing factor in aggression. The authors discuss forensic issues related to methamphetamine use in chapters covering expert testimony, criminal responsibility, mitigation in sentencing, and competency to stand trial. The last section examines various treatment modalities.

As methamphetamine grows once again in popularity, it is crucial that those who deal with the effects of it be well-informed about the dangers it poses. This volume provides a comprehensive, critical survey of the current knowledge regarding the use and abuse of this dangerous and ubiquitous substance.

Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory
Publisher: Princeton University Press | ISBN: 069105908X | edition 1998 | PDF | 352 pages | 2,1 mb

Twenty-five years ago one could list by name the tiny number of multiple personalities recorded in the history of Western medicine, but today hundreds of people receive treatment for dissociative disorders in every sizable town in North America. Clinicians, backed by a grassroots movement of patients and therapists, find child sexual abuse to be the primary cause of the illness, while critics accuse the “MPD” community of fostering false memories of childhood trauma.

Here the distinguished philosopher Ian Hacking uses the MPD epidemic and its links with the contemporary concept of child abuse to scrutinize today’s moral and political climate, especially our power struggles about memory and our efforts to cope with psychological injuries.

The Look of Things: Poetry and Vision around 1900
Publisher:The University of North Carolina Press | 2003-05-31 | ISBN: 0807881260 | PDF | 320 pages | 2.07 MB
Product Description:

Examining the relationship between German poetry, philosophy, and visual media around 1900, Carsten Strathausen argues that the poetic works of Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Stephan George focused on the visible gestalt of language as a means of competing aesthetically with the increasing popularity and “reality effect’” of photography and film.

Poetry around 1900 self-reflectively celebrated its own words as both transparent signs and material objects, Strathausen says. In Aestheticism, this means that language harbors the potential to literally present the things it signifies. Rather than simply describing or picturing the physical experience of looking, as critics have commonly maintained, modernist poetry claims to enable a more profound kind of perception that grants intuitive insights into the very texture of the natural world.

The Hard Facts of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales

“Tatar’s main concern is with the enduring hold of the tales on children’s imaginations. Why should they enjoy stories about other children sent out to die in a wood, or being victimized by cruel stepmothers, or given impossible tasks to perform, and (if female) forced to marry frogs or bears? . . . The Hard Facts of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales–related in language that is sharp, lively, and free of jargon–is delightful evidence that Grimm scholarship can give pleasure to the general reader.”

–Janet Adam Smith, New York Review of Books “For scholars, students, and general readers, Tatar’s book is a balanced, sensitive, and informative guide to the content and context of Grimms’ fairy tales.” –Merle Rubin, The Christian Science Monitor ” . . . intelligently eclectic and refreshingly commonsensical, a thoughtful ramble through the dark childhood woods that haunt our adult dreams.”–Carl Maves, San Francisco Chronicle

E.A. Wrigley, the leading historian of industrial England, exposes the inadequacy of what was once accepted wisdom regarding England’s industrial revolution and suggests what he believes should replace it. He examines the issues from three viewpoints: economic growth; the transformation of the urban-rural balance; and demographic change in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

In addition, he shows why England’s early modern economy and society grew faster and more dynamically than its continental neighbors.

Does terrorism have a unique and significant emotional and behavioral impact among adults and children? In what way does the impact of terrorism exceed the individual level and affect communities and specific professional groups as well as test different leadership styles? How were professional communities of mental health clinicians, policy makers and researchers mobilized to respond to the emerging needs post-disaster? What are the lessons learned from the work conducted after 9/11 and the implications for future disaster mental health work and preparedness efforts?

Yuval Neria and his team are uniquely placed to answer these questions having been involved in modifying ongoing trials and setting up new ones in New York to address these issues straight after the attacks. No psychiatrist, mental health professional or policy maker should be without this book.

Diversity and difference are explored using vivid and detailed country profiles. A strength of this textbook is its ability to explain complex issues in a way that is engaging and informative. It provides conceptual frameworks for students to engage in independent analysis of the complexities of global forces as they impact on, and interact with, the “local” in different contexts.

It also, however, engages with the issues of crucial importance for the lived realities of Latin American people- poverty, development, the state and resistance under changing political, economic and ideological conditions.

False Hope: Bone Marrow Transplantation for Breast Cancer
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0195187768 | edition 2007 | PDF | 368 pages | 1,24 mb
In the late 1980s, a promising new treatment for breast cancer emerged: high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation or HDC/ABMT. By the 1990s, it had burst upon the oncology scene and disseminated rapidly before having been carefully evaluated. By the time published studies showed that the procedure was ineffective, more than 30,000 women had received the treatment, shortening their lives and adding to their suffering.

This book tells of the rise and demise of HDC/ABMT for metastatic and early stage breast cancer, and fully explores the story’s implications, which go well beyond the immediate procedure, and beyond breast cancer, to how we in the United States evaluate other medical procedures, especially life-saving ones. It details how the factors that drove clinical use–patient demand, physician enthusiasm, media reporting, litigation, economic exploitation, and legislative and administrative mandates–converged to propel the procedure forward despite a lack of proven clinical effectiveness. It also analyzes the limited effect of the technology assessments and randomized clinical trials that evaluated the procedure and the ramifications of this flawed system on healthcare today. Sections of the book consider the initial conditions surrounding the emergence of the new breast cancer treatment, the drivers of clinical use, and the struggle for evidence-based medicine. A concluding section considers the significance of the story for our healthcare system.

Animal Biotechnology: Science Based Concerns
National Academies Press | ISBN: 0309084393 | November 18, 2002 | PDF | 201 pages | 3.04 Mb

Genetic-based animal biotechnology has produced new food and pharmaceutical products and promises many more advances to benefit humankind. These exciting prospects are accompanied by considerable unease, however, about matters such as safety and ethics. This book identifies science-based and policy-related concerns about animal biotechnology - key issues that must be resolved before the new breakthroughs can reach their potential.

The book includes a short history of the field and provides understandable definitions of terms like cloning. Looking at technologies on the near horizon, the authors discuss what we know and what we fear about their effects - the inadvertent release of dangerous microorganisms, the safety of products derived from biotechnology, the impact of genetically engineered animals on their environment. In addition to these concerns, the book explores animal welfare concerns, and our societal and institutional capacity to manage and regulate the technology and its products. This accessible volume will be important to everyone interested in the implications of the use of animal biotechnology.

Early Cold War Spies: The Espionage Trials that Shaped American Politics (Cambridge Essential Histories)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521857384 | edition 2006 | PDF | 264 pages | 1,12 mb
Communism was never a popular ideology in America, but the vehemence of American anticommunism varied from passive disdain in the 1920s to fervent hostility in the early years of the Cold War. Nothing so stimulated the white hot anticommunism of the late 1940s and 1950s more than a series of spy trials that revealed that American Communists had co-operated with Soviet espionage against the United States and had assisted in stealing the technical secrets of the atomic bomb as well as penetrating the U.S. State Department, the Treasury Department, and the White House itself.

This book reviews the major spy cases of the early Cold War (Hiss-Chambers, Rosenberg, Bentley, Gouzenko, Coplon, Amerasia and others) and the often-frustrating clashes between the exacting rules of the American criminal justice system and the requirements of effective counter-espionage.

The Grammar of Words
Publisher: OXFORD | UNIVERSITY PRESS | ISBN: 0199258473 | edition 2005 | PDF | 323 pages | 1.5 mb
Each textbook provides a specific perspective on the discipline that it aims to introduce. Therefore, writing this book has not only been a challenge for me because of the didactic demands that each textbook has not only been a challenge for me because of the didactic demands that each textbook imposes on its writer. It also forced me to rethink my own ideas on morphology in confrontation with those of others, and to come up with a consistent picture of what morphology is about.

This perspective is summarized by the title of this book, The Grammar of Words, which gives the linguistic entity of the word a pivotal role in understanding morphology.

A Voice for Nonprofits
Brookings Institution Press | ISBN: 0815709129 | 2003 | PDF | 210 pages | 5 Mb

Nonprofit organizations are playing an increasingly important role in delivering basic government services. Yet they are discouraged by federal law from participating in legislative lobbying efforts—even on issues that affect their clients directly. Without the involvement of nonprofits in the governmental process, the vulnerable populations they serve are left without effective representation in the political system.

A Voice for Nonprofits analyzes the effect of government restrictions on the participation of nonprofits in the policymaking process and suggests ways to address the problems.

The relationship between nonprofits and the government is ideal in many respects, according to Jeffrey M. Berry and David F. Arons. By underwriting operating budgets and subcontracting the administration of programs to nonprofits, governments at all levels are able to take advantage of nonprofits’ dedication, imagination, and private fund-raising skills. However, as nonprofits assume greater responsibility for delivering services traditionally provided by government, that responsibility is not matched by a congruous increase in policy influence. Berry and Arons believe the lobbying restrictions should be eased so that nonprofits may become more involved in public policymaking. Their recommendations are designed to ensure that nonprofit organizations—and the constituencies they serve—are effectively represented in the American political system.

Private Solutions for Infrastructure in Rwanda (Country Framework Report)
World Bank Publications | ISBN: 0821359657 | 2004 | PDF | 103 pages | 5 Mb

The Rwandan Government outlines its vision for the development of the country in “Vision 2020,” which elaborates the economic goals the Government aims to achieve. One of the major themes that lies at the heart of this vision is the refurbishment and development of Rwanda’s core economic infrastructure.

This book looks at the progress Rwanda has made and provides a review of the country’s infrastructure in the transport, energy, telecommunications, and water and sanitation sectors and presents suggestions on improving the environment for private sector involvement in infrastructure. Although the span of the content is broad, the book focuses in particular on the potential that exists to involve the private sector in infrastructure and the policies and actions that are necessary to make this happen.

Private Solutions for Infrastructure in Rwanda provides an objective assessment of the condition of Rwanda’s infrastructure sectors and of the institutional and policy frameworks that are associated with them. It also provides a clear route map for infrastructure sector reform, as well as highlights both the opportunities that exist for the private sector and the role that the donor community can play in assisting the Government with establishing priorities in infrastructure.

Empress Theodora: Partner of Justinian
University of Texas Press | ISBN: 0292721056 | 2002| PDF | 146 pages | 3 Mb

Even by modern standards, the Empress Theodora (?-548) had a remarkable rise to power. Born into the lowest class of Byzantine society, she worked as an actress in burlesque theatre. Yet she attracted the love of the future emperor Justinian, who, to the astonishment of proper society, made her not only his wife but also his partner in government.

Justinian’s respect for and trust in Theodora gave her power in her own right unmatched by almost any other Roman or Byzantine empress. In this book, James Allan Evans provides a scholarly, yet highly accessible account of the life and times of the Empress Theodora.

H WF Saggs “Everyday Life in Babylonia and Assyria”
G P Putnam Sons | 1965 | ISBN: 0713416645 | 208 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB
THE way of life with which this book deals flourished for 2000 years of the most formative period of human history,
and it would require far more than the space available even touch upon every significant aspect of this subject. I have
there,-e had to confine myself to a more modest task.

What I have empted has been to give an introduction to the
subject by a sketch Babylonian and Assyrian life at a few key-points, seen in the context of the historical setting.
I need hardly point out to my professional colleagues that this ok is not written for them; therefore, if, in using the
original sources, I have chosen, for the sake of English idiom, to translate a singular by a plural, or to alter a tense, I
trust they will not turn and rend me. My main purpose will be served if I succeed in convincing some of my readers,
amongst the many now interested in ancient world, that Babylonian and Assyrian civilisation is not wholly alien to our
own.
Although I have been able in many cases to suggest sources for illustrations, the credit and responsibility for the final
selection and treatment of the illustrations belong, not to me as author, but to the talented artist, Mrs H. Fairfield, and
to Mr P. Kemmis Betty.

Globalizing America: The USA in World Integration (New Horizons in International Business Series)
Edward Elgar Publishing | ISBN: 1858989817 | 2007-12 | PDF | 301 pages | 2 Mb

Globalization is a largely ungoverned process of deepening integration, in which American firms are the most active agents of structural change. There are general benefits, in terms of growth and employment, but there are also costs which can generate pressures for protection of the US home market. The book discusses that prospect while reviewing the expansion of interdependencies between the USA and the rest of the world.

The authors address questions in current business and policy literature regarding the structural linkages evolving in the globalization process. The authors conclude that the US administration and American firms have to be more responsive to the interests of the international community that are being vitally affected by the integrating effects of transnational production and world trade. “Globalizing America” should be valuable reading for international business and international political economy scholars, and for planners in multinational firms.

Consumer Protection and the Criminal Law: Law, Theory, and Policy in the UK
Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521590809 | 2001 | PDF | 268 pages | 6 Mb

To what extent should criminal law be used to protect the consumer? Peter Cartwright evaluates the role of criminal law sanctions in consumer protection from an economic and social perspective. In this important new study the author examines the rationales for protecting consumers, and considers the role that legal techniques play in fulfilling these. In addition, he analyzes criminal law doctrines such as strict, corporate, and vicarious liability, and suggests that they require re-evaluation.

This study will be of interest to academics, undergraduate and post-graduate students as well as lawyers.

Ohio University Press | ISBN: 0896802078 | 1999 | PDF | 317 pages | 15 Mb

A generously illustrated selection of John Baines’s influential writings on two core areas of ancient Egyptian civilization: the role of writing, which was very different in antiquity from what is familiar in the modern world, and the importance of visual culture. These questions are explored through a number of case studies.

The volume assembles articles that were scattered in publications in a variety of disciplines, making available key contributions on core problems of theory, comparison, and analysis in the study of many civilizations and offering important points of departure for further research. Three wholly new essays are included, and the overall approach is an interdisciplinary one, synthesizing insights from archaeology, anthropology, and art history as well as Egyptology.

Substitutions in Dynamics, Arithmetics, and Combinatorics (Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Vol. 1794)
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540441417 | edition 2002 | PDF | 402 pages | 3,3 mb

A certain category of infinite strings of letters on a finite alphabet is presented here, chosen among the ’simplest’ possible one may build, both because they are very deterministic and because they are built by simple rules (a letter is replaced by a word, a sequence is produced by iteration). These substitutive sequences have a surprisingly rich structure.
The authors describe the concepts of quantity of natural interactions, with combinatorics on words, ergodic theory, linear algebra, spectral theory, geometry of tilings, theoretical computer science, diophantine approximation, trancendence, graph theory.

This volume fulfils the need for a reference on the basic definitions and theorems, as well as for a state-of-the-art survey of the more difficult and unsolved problems.

Garner’s Modern American Usage
Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0195161912 | 2003 | PDF | 928 pages | 28 Mb

The first edition of Garner’s Modern American Usage established Bryan Garner as “an American equivalent of Fowler” (Library Journal). With more than 23,500 copies sold, this witty, accessible, and engaging book has become the new classic reference work praised by professional copyeditors as well as the general public looking for clear advice on how to write more effectively.

In 1999, Choice magazine named it an Outstanding Academic Book and the American Library Association dubbed it an Outstanding Reference Source. With thousands of succinct entries, longer essays on key issues and problematic areas, and up-to-the-minute judgments on everything from trendy words to the debate over personal pronouns, GMAU is approachable yet authoritative. Since the book first appeared in 1998, Bryan Garner has diligently continued tracking how we use our language. The second edition includes hundreds of new entries ranging from Dubya to weaponize (coined in 1984 but used extensively since 9/11) to foot-and-mouth, plethora (a “highfalutin equivalent of too many”), Slang, Standard English, and Dialects. It also updates hundreds of existing entries. Meanwhile, Garner has written a major essay on the great grammar debate between descriptivists and prescriptivists. Painstakingly researched with copious citations from books and newspapers and newsmagazines, this new edition furthers Garner’s mission to help everyone become a better writer, and to enjoy it in the process.

John L. Ward, “Unconventional Wisdom: CounterintuitiveA InsightsA for Family Business Success”
Publisher: Wiley | 2005-07-29 | ISBN 0470021659 | PDF | 274 pages | 10.1 MB
Family businesses prosper by pursuing unconventional strategies. Because they are values-driven and think very long-term, they take approaches not popular with current management fashion or most companies. That is the key to their competitive advantage. However, family businesses must find ways to simultaneously serve business needs and family goals, which require very different priorities and principles.

As a result, they must think paradoxically, and find insights that single-purpose enterprises need not contemplate. They must dare to be different. Family business requires a different governance system, but it must nevertheless be one that can be controlled. Building on insights from the worldA~?s premier family business executive education course, this book offers the Unconventional Wisdom needed to leverage the strategic and cultural uniqueness of a family business for enduring success.

Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy , Volume XXI (2005)
Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers | ISBN: 9004153535 | edition 2006 | PDF | 319 pages | 1.16 mb

With one exception, this volume contains papers and commentaries originally presented to the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy during the 2004-5 academic year. Of the seven colloquia that make up this volume, two deal with Plato while the rest are dedicated to Aristotle.

The topics on Plato are almost exclusively political: (1) a reading of the Republic that places it within the genre of writings ‘On the Politeia, and (2) a discussion of the role of preambles in Plato’s Laws. There is a wider range of topics on Aristotle, ranging from his views on the relationship between external goods and happiness, through his account of phantasia, and all the way to his theory of metaphor. In relation to Aristotle also, one colloquium provides a detailed analysis of his curious theory of the so-called ‘inner sense’, while another raises the question as to whether he might be regarded as a particularist in the philosophy of action like some modern theorists. As usual for this series, most colloquia contain a paper and commentary which provide a lively exchange on these topics.

Rigid Cohomology (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521875242 | edition 2007 | PDF | 334 pages | 1,34 mb

Dating back to work of Berthelot, rigid cohomology appeared as a common generalization of Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology and crystalline cohomology. It is a p-adic Weil cohomology suitable for computing Zeta and L-functions for algebraic varieties on finite fields. Moreover, it is effective, in the sense that it gives algorithms to compute the number of rational points of such varieties. This is the first book to give a complete treatment of the theory, from full discussion of all the basics to descriptions of the very latest developments.

Results and proofs are included that are not available elsewhere, local computations are explained, and many worked examples are given. This accessible tract will be of interest to researchers working in arithmetic geometry, p-adic cohomology theory, and related cryptographic areas.

Osprey Aircraft of the Aces 023 - Finnish Aces of World War II
Publisher: Osprey Publishing | ISBN: 185532783X | edition 1998 | PDF | 96 pages | 9,87 mb

Always outnumbered by their Soviet counterparts, the small band of Finnish fighter pilots who defended their Scandinavian homeland from the ‘communist hordes’ in three separate wars between 1939 and 1945 amassed scores only bettered by the Luftwaffe’s Jagdflieger. Initially equipped with a motley collection of biplane and monoplane fighters garnered from sources across the globe, the Finnish Air Force was thrust into combat in November 1939.

Given little chance against the massive Soviet force, the Finnish fighter pilots confounded the sceptics and decimated the attacking fighter and bomber formations, prompting the Russians to call a halt in March 1940. This scenario was repeated in 1941, and by 1943 the Finns had become uneasy allies with the Germans. Complete with first-hand accounts and detailed colour illustrations, this book profiles aces like Juutilainen and Wind, who proved unbeatable in the final months of conflict.

Encyclopedia of Folk Heroes by Graham Seal
Publisher: ABC-Clio Inc | ISBN: 1576072169 | edition 2001 | CHM | 347 pages | 3.3 mb

Grade 9 Up-This volume describes folk heroes from all times and cultures, both individually and as groups (”Magicians,” “Occupational Heroes,” etc.). There are indexes by heroic type, country/culture, and a chronology of folk heroes by century, in addition to a general index and a detailed bibliography. Each entry includes cross-references and citations.

Black-and-white illustrations are scattered throughout. Seal states up front that his book is selective; he emphasizes folklore and fairy tales, and doesn’t include characters from mythology, scripture, or literature (although he does treat larger-than-life historical figures who’ve passed into folklore, such as Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, and a whole host of outlaws). Unfortunately, the book has flaws, most relating to the way the entries are written. They vary considerably in content. Some explain the background, some give a historical treatment, some analyze customs and traditions, while others delve into psychology. Some articles use quotes from scholars, rhymes, or songs. Some quickly summarize the stories, others includeretellings in excruciating detail. As a result, the entries are inconsistent in substance, length, and value. While this volume can be interesting and informative, it can also be puzzling and frustrating, depending on a subject’s treatment.

Carol Dawson, Carol Johnston “House of Plenty: The Rise, Fall, and Revival of Luby’s Cafeterias”
University of Texas Press | 2006-10-01 | ISBN: 0292706561 | 288 pages | PDF | 4,7 MB

“Intrigue, mystery, and strategy—all in a historical profile of Luby’s Cafeterias. This is a book about an institution we all knew as home—never thinking that the foundation was a business plan destined to work for fifty years. What went wrong? Read on! A ‘must’ for business schools everywhere, and a fun read for everyone.”

—Jon Brumley, Forbes Entrepreneur of the Year, Cofounder and Chairman of the Board of Encore Acquisitions Company

“House of Plenty is a great tale…. It will be of great interest not only to the public, but also to students of American culture. I literally do not know of a book that deals in any major way with the history or culture of the cafeteria… a subject of great social and cultural importance.”

—Robert Abzug, Oliver H. Radkey Regents Professor in History, University of Texas at Austin

“Who knew that the key to American success and salvation could be found on the cafeteria line? Only Carol Dawson. In crystalline prose, she tells a morality tale that is both as compulsively readable as a mystery novel and as illuminating about the American psyche as anything published in recent years. The death Dawson ultimately investigates is business ethics with a body of evidence that is utterly fascinating and utterly convincing.”

—Sarah Bird, author of The Flamenco Academy, The Yokota Officers Club, Virgin of the Rodeo, The Mommy Club, The Boyfriend School, and Alamo House

Scarred by the deaths of his mother and sisters and the failure of his father’s business, a young man dreamed of making enough money to retire early and retreat into the secure world that his childhood tragedies had torn from him. But Harry Luby refused to be a robber baron. Turning totally against the tide of avaricious capitalism, he determined to make a fortune by doing good. Starting with that unlikely, even naive, ambition in 1911, Harry Luby founded a cafeteria empire that by the 1980s had revenues second only to McDonald’s. So successfully did Luby and his heirs satisfy the tastes of America that Luby’s became the country’s largest cafeteria chain, creating more millionaires per capita among its employees than any other corporation of its size. Even more surprising, the company stayed true to Harry Luby’s vision for eight decades, making money by treating its customers and employees exceptionally well.

Written with the sweep and drama of a novel, House of Plenty tells the engrossing story of Luby’s founding and phenomenal growth, its long run as America’s favorite family restaurant during the post-World War II decades, its financial failure during the greed-driven 1990s when non-family leadership jettisoned the company’s proven business model, and its recent struggle back to solvency. Carol Dawson and Carol Johnston draw on insider stories and company records to recapture the forces that propelled the company to its greatest heights, including its unprecedented practices of allowing store managers to keep 40 percent of net profits and issuing stock to all employees, which allowed thousands of Luby’s workers to achieve the American dream of honestly earned prosperity. The authors also plumb the depths of the Luby’s drama, including a hushed-up theft that split the family for decades; the 1991 mass shooting at the Killeen Luby’s, which splattered the company’s good name across headlines nationwide; and the rapacious over-expansion that more than doubled the company’s size in nine years (1987-1996), pushed it into bankruptcy, and drove president and CEO John Edward Curtis Jr. to violent suicide.

Disproving F. Scott Fitzgerald’s adage that “there are no second acts in American lives,” House of Plenty tells the epic story of an iconic American institution that has risen, fallen, and found redemption—with no curtain call in sight.

Eckhart Tolle - A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Audiobook)
Publisher: Penguin; Unabridged edition | 2008-30-01 | ISBN 0143143492 | MP3 | 128 Kbps | 508 MB | Audio Length: 9 hours and 12 min.
Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.
Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are, which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are, and learn to live and breathe freely.

According to Tolle, who assumes the role of narrator as well, humans are on the verge of creating a new world by a personal transformation that shifts our attention away from our ever-expanding egos. This idea is well realized through Tolle’s remarkably well-paced narration. Naturally, the author understands his material so thoroughly that he is able to convey it in an enjoyable manner, but Tolle’s gentle tone and dialect begs his audience’s attention simply through its straightforward approach. Something about this reading just seems profoundly important, whether one agrees with the material or not, and listeners’ attention is sure to be captured within seconds of listening to Tolle’s take on the universe in which we live. Originally released in 2005, both book and audiobook were reissued when Oprah Winfrey chose the title for her book club this year.

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (Oxford Paperbacks)
Publisher: Oxford Paperbacks; New edition edition | ISBN: 0192821474 | edition 1988 | PDF | 736 pages | 3,51 mb
Ever since Copernicus, scientists have continually adjusted their view of human nature, moving it further and further from its ancient position at the center of Creation. But in recent years, a startling new concept has evolved that places it more firmly than ever in a special position.

Known as the Anthropic Cosmological Principle, this collection of ideas holds that the existence of intelligent observers determines the fundamental structure of the Universe. In its most radical version, the Anthropic Principle asserts that “intelligent information-processing must come into existence in the Universe, and once it comes into existence, it will never die out.”

This wide-ranging and detailed book explores the many ramifications of the Anthropic Cosmological Principle, covering the whole spectrum of human inquiry from Aristotle to Z bosons. Bringing a unique combination of skills and knowledge to the subject, John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler–two of the world’s leading cosmologists–cover the definition and nature of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the interpretation of the quantum theory in relation to the existence of observers. The book will be of vital interest to philosophers, theologians, mathematicians, scientists, and historians, as well as to anyone concerned with the connection between the vastness of the universe of stars and galaxies and the existence of life within it on a small planet out in the suburbs of the Milky Way.

Christine Kaiser, “Forderungen erfolgreich eintreiben: Forderungsmanagement, Mahnverfahren, Inkasso”
Businessvillage | 2005 | ISBN: 3938358041 | 80 pages | PDF | 15,4 MB
Durchschnittlich 15-16% betragen die Außenstände in deutschen Unternehmen. Das ist nicht nur ein Ärgernis, sondern kann zur Pleite führen. Denn ein hoher Außenstandswert verschlechtert die Liquidität des Unternehmens und ist eine der Hauptursachen für Insolvenzen Grund genug für eine Optimierung des Forderungsmanagements.

Die Grundlage dafür wird bereits beim Vertragsschluss durch konsequente Überprüfung der Kundenbonität, eine vollständige Erfassung der Vertragsdaten des Geschäftspartners und eine optimale Ausschöpfung der rechtlichen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten gelegt. Im betrieblichen Forderungsmanagement sind neben dem Verzugseintritt Gegenrechte, die Möglichkeit vorteilhafter Ratenzahlungsvereinbarungen und die Verjährung zu beachten. Das gerichtliche Mahnverfahren und auch erste Maßnahmen zur Zwangsvollstreckung kann der Unternehmer auch selbst durchführen. Aufgrund der wachsenden Internationalisierung werden auch die Besonderheiten des grenzüberschreitenden Inkassos in Europa beh andelt.

Anne M. Schüller, “Erfolgreich verhandeln - Erfolgreich verkaufen: Wie Sie Menschen und Märkte gewinnen ”
Businessvillage | 2005 | ISBN: 3938358106 | 82 pages | PDF | 22,7 MB
Moderne Verkaufsgespräche funktionieren nicht mehr nach den mehr oder weniger plumpen Regeln, die vor fünf oder zehn Jahren noch gültig waren. Denn die Kunden haben sich drastisch verändert. Sie sind informierter, anspruchsvoller und deutlich fordernder geworden. Sie haben die Macht im Markt übernommen.
Da reicht es nicht mehr, nach altem Strickmuster Verkaufstechniken auswendig zu lernen oder selbsternannten Gurus nachzubeten, sondern wir müssen verstehen, warum diese Techniken wann und wie bei wem funktionieren. Dieses Wissen wird nun durch Gehirnforscher Schritt für Schritt sichtbar und damit auch nutzbar gemacht.
Ausgehend vom Empfehler, der uns lehrt, wie emotionales Verkaufen funktioniert, verbindet dieser Leitfaden die faszinierenden neuen Erkenntnisse der Forschung mit der traditionellen Kunst des Verkaufens. Er verknüpft - genauso, wie unsere Gehirn das tut - beide Seiten des Verkaufens: die argumentativ-sachliche und die bildhaft-emotionale.

It further addresses the use of sleep medications in children, adolescents, and in the elderly. It offers a comprehensive overview of the currently available hypnotic medications and covers aspects of chronopharmacology and its implications for the pharmacology of sleep.

Charles Landry, Phil Wood “The Intercultural City: Planning for Diversity Advantage”
Earthscan Publications Ltd. | 2007-11 | ISBN: 1844074374 | 380 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB

In a world where individuals are increasingly mobile, how people originating from different cultures live together is one of the key issues of the 21st century. There is a growing need for new thinking on how diverse communities can live together in productive harmony and not in parallel and separate lives. Policy is often dominated by mitigating the perceived negative effects of diversity (complexity, loss of cohesion, exploitation and racism) but little thought has been given to how a diversity dividend or increased innovative capacity might be achieved.

The Intercultural City analyzes the relationship of urban policy to policies on cultural diversity, principally in the UK but also drawing upon original research in North America, Europe and Australasia. It includes a review of the literature in the field, and a critique of past and current policy, before introducing new theoretical concepts. It provides significant and practical advice for the reader, with new insights and tools for practitioners including the “intercultural lens”, “indicators of openness” and “urban cultural literacy”.

Jim Winchester - The World’s Worst Aircraft
Grange Books | 2005 | ISBN: 0760767424 | English | 324 pages | PDF | 35.99 Mb

The great leaps in aviation history - the Wright brothers’first flight, Lindbergh’s first crossing of the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier - were all made by pushing the boundaries of aeronautical science, wringing extraordinary performance out of experimental and untested aircraft.

However, for every success like these there were new aircraft designs which flew badly (or not at all), crashed on landing, burned up fuel at an alarming rate, exploded without warning, or pointlessly wasted millions of dollars.
The World’s Worst Aircraft takes a lighthearted look at 150 of these flying failures - old and new - and asks the pertinent questions. Why did they ever get off the drawing board? What went wrong? Why were they sq unreliable, and how much money was wasted by governments, manufacturers and individuals trying to make them a success?
Each aircraft is illustrated with a full-page photograph, annotated to show particularly bad, dangerous or unusual features. The lively text provides an insight into the history and (lack of) development of each type, alongside archive images from the aircraft’s heyday, artworks or diagrams.
Featuring some of the world’s weirdest, strangest and most dangerous planes, this book is a perfect illustration of how not to build aircraft.

Black Power Inc.: The New Voice of Success
Publisher: Wiley | 2004-04-26 | ISBN: 0471470902 | PDF | 218 pages | 7.14 MB

Examining the struggle for racial equality as it moves from the street to the executive suite
Black Power Inc. explores the emergence of a new black professional that sees business and economics as the true base of American power, rather than politics. Instead of mobilizing voters, they are storming boardrooms across the country and establishing themselves in positions of real influence.

Fortune magazine writer Cora Daniels, one of the primary chroniclers of this new shift in attitudes, reveals both those who drive it and their motivations for doing so. Rather than fight the power, this new generation seeks to take the power for themselves—and reshape the American business and cultural landscape in the process. The old guard who’ve been in power longer tend to feel that assimilation is critical to success, whereas the new black elite refuses to deny their race in order to be seen as equal; many feel that race is both an undeniable and critical component of their professional identity. In lieu of downplaying race as an issue, they use their race to build

a legacy for the next generation of black leaders.

Black Power Inc. provides a much-needed discussion of the thought shift among America’s most successful black businesspeople, and reveals what this new attitude means for the future of both corporate America and black Americans.

Cora Daniels (Brooklyn, NY) is a staff writer for Fortune magazine and a contributing writer to Fortune Small Business. Her work has also been published in the New York Times, USA Today, Savoy, and Honey magazine. In 2002, she spearheaded the search for Fortune magazine’s 50 most powerful black executives in America.

Тарас А.Е. - Рукопашный бой СМЕРШ. Практическое пособие.
Харвест | 2001 | ISBN: 9851304611 | Russian | 400 pages | PDF | 9 Mb
Книга “Рукопашный бой СМЕРШ” широко известного в СНГ специалиста в области самозащиты и рукопашного боя является дополнением к его знаменитому бестселлеру «Боевая машина». В ней излагает основы системы рукопашного боя, состоявшей в годы Отечественной войны на вооружении сотрудников советской военной контрразведки «Смерть шпионам».

Автор развенчивает легенду, согласно которой в СССР в предвоенный период якобы была разработана сверхсекретная система «рукопашки», по своей эффективности не имевшая равных в мире. Советские контрразведчики превосходили врагов в первую очередь своими морально-психологическими качествами - мужеством, патриотизмом, презрением к смерти, а не прикладной физической подготовкой. В то же время использовавшиеся ими боевые приемы самбо ни в чем не уступали приемам врага. Прикладное самбо 30-х годов имело мало общего с послевоенным спортивным аналогом. Его техника являлась надежным и мощным оружием ближнего боя с любыми противниками.
Автор знакомит читателей с методами психологической и физической подготовки контрразведчиков к рукопашному бою, описывает всю базовую технику прикладного самбо, показывает на многочисленных примерах способы ее применения в реальных боевых ситуациях. Он подобрал для книги в основном такие приемы, которые позволяют осуществить эффективную самооборону от хулиганов и вооруженных преступников.

Stanley J. Stein, Barbara H. Stein “Apogee of Empire: Spain and New Spain in the Age of Charles III, 1759-1789″
The Johns Hopkins University Press | 2003 | ISBN: 0801873398 | 480 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

Once Europe’s supreme maritime power, Spain by the mid-eighteenth century was facing fierce competition from England and France. England, in particular, had successfully mustered the financial resources necessary to confront its Atlantic rivals by mobilizing both aristocracy and merchant bourgeoisie in support of its imperial ambitions. Spain, meanwhile, remained overly dependent on the profits of its New World silver mines to finance both metropolitan and colonial imperatives, and England’s naval superiority constantly threatened the vital flow of specie.

When Charles III ascended the Spanish throne in 1759, then, after a quarter-century as ruler of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Spain and its colonial empire were seriously imperiled. Two hundred years of Hapsburg rule, followed by a half-century of ineffectual Bourbon “reforms,” had done little to modernize Spain’s increasingly antiquated political, social, economic, and intellectual institutions. Charles III, recognizing the pressing need to renovate these institutions, set his Italian staff—notably the Marqués de Esquilache, who became Secretary of the Consejo de Hacienda (the Exchequer)—to this formidable task.

In Apogee of Empire, Stanley J. Stein and Barbara H. Stein trace the attempt, initially under Esquilache’s direction, to reform the Spanish establishment and, later, to modify and modernize the relationship between the metropole and its colonies. Within Spain, Charles and his architects of reform had to be mindful of determining what adjustments could be made that would help Spain confront its enemies without also radically altering the Hapsburg inheritance. As described in impressive detail by the authors, the bitter, seven-year conflict that ensued between reformers and traditionalists ended in a coup in 1766 that forced Charles to send Esquilache back to Italy. After this setback at home, Charles still hoped to effect constructive change in Spain’s imperial system, primarily through the incremental implementation of a policy of comercio libre (free-trade). These reforms, made half-heartedly at best, failed as well, and by 1789 Spain would find itself ill prepared for the coming decades of upheaval in Europe and America.

An in-depth study of incremental response by an old imperial order to challenges at home and abroad, Apogee of Empire is also a sweeping account of the personalities, places, and policies that helped to shape the modern Atlantic world.

Lars Fuglsang “Innovation and the Creative Process: Towards Innovation With Care”
Edward Elgar Publishing | 2008-02-28 | ISBN: 1847203876 | 322 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This book explores new frameworks and methods of understanding and analysing innovation. These are set against a backdrop of ‘innovation with care’, which is seen as a phenomenon that takes place among many actors with different perspectives, ideas and cultures that must be carefully woven together in order to achieve the benefits of innovation. The new perspectives presented by the contributors will be important in encouraging successful innovation across sectors, organizations and people.

They examine how people and organizations deal with the tensions and paradoxes in the innovative process between creativity and innovation, variation and selection, and sense and strategy-making.The book also includes a sociological approach to innovation as a complement to economic perspectives in order to better understand how people can benefit from innovation in a number of interesting private and public cases. To benefit from innovation, it concludes, people depend less on formal roles and formal organization than on a caring approach that enables them to deal with and interpret evolutions across people, organizations and sectors. This highly original, innovative book will provide fascinating reading for a diverse audience, including academics, researchers, policymakers and managers with an interest in innovation, organization studies, institutional theory and, more generally, business and management.

Robert Schware, “E-Development: From Excitement to Effectiveness”
World Bank Publications; illustrated ed | 2005-10 | ISBN: 0821364421 | 200 pages | PDF | 5,2 MB

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly being recognized as essential tools of development—tools that can empower poor people, enhance skills, increase productivity and improve governance at all levels. The success of ICT-enabled development (or e-development) will thus not be measured by the diffusion of technology, but by advances in development itself: economic growth and, ultimately, achievement of the Millenium Development Goals.

This volume examines a wide range of issues related to e-development, with a focus on the requirements and realities of using ICTs to advance development goals. The report does not attempt to present a comprehensive overview of e-development. Rather, it highlights key issues that have immediate relevance to policy makers in developing nations who make decisions on investments and development goals. It highlights two issues in particular, e-government and e-education, because ICT applications in these areas can lead to significant development outcomes and can also be successfully deployed through public-private partnerships, leveraging limited government funding to achieve greater impact.

A Quest for Global Peace: Rotblat and Ikeda on War, Ethics and the Nuclear Threat
Publisher: I. B. Tauris | ISBN: 1845112792 | edition 2004 | PDF | 180 pages | 3,36 mb

One of the “inventors” of the nuclear bomb, Sir Joseph Rotblat very soon turned away from weapons research to make a prolonged and principled stand against the dangers of nuclear proliferation. A physicist of great brilliance, he metamorphosed into a campaigner of admired moral conviction and leadership. This series of dialogues between two leading ethical thinkers brings together the courage and humanity of Rotblat with the spiritual wisdom and global visionary outlook of Daisaku Ikeda, the leader of the world’s largest and most influential lay Buddhist organization.

Together they reflect on fundamental issues of war and peace, the ethics of nuclear deterrence and the trajectory of Joseph Rotblat’s career, from the Manhattan Project to the Pugwash Conference and his Nobel Prize. Rotblat’s life-long mantra was that scientists have a moral responsibility to save lives, not destroy them. The integrity of both writers emerges powerfully and inspiringly from their wide-ranging discussions, which serve as a stark warning against the dangers of a resurgent atomic weapons race.

Irresistible and delicious, this multifaceted travelogue delves deep into summer in Sicily—complete with all the passion, power, politics, and pasta of the Italian island. After accepting an invitation to attend a confirmation in Sicily, author Brian Johnston naively expects little more than the chance to immerse himself in genuine southern Italian hospitality and, of course, the vibrant tastes, smells, flavors, and rituals of Sicilian food.

What Johnston encounters and describes is flamboyant family drama, dangerous village politics, and eccentric local personalities—all while painting a fascinating picture of contemporary Italy.

Billy the Kid: His Life and Legend
Univ of New Mexico Pr | Routledge | 295 pages | 1997 | ISBN: 0826317707 | PDF | 1 mb

Was Billy the Kid the most romantic of Western desperadoes or a vicious killer? Ever since the Kid was shot by Pat Garrett in 1881, historians, storytellers, and filmmakers have been recounting and reinventing his life. In 1983 Jon Tuska published his first edition of Billy the Kid, and it was immediately recognized as the most accurate account yet produced. Choice called it “A magnificent tour de force and a model for others who would study legendary heroes of the American West.”

In this new edition, Tuska reexamines the Kid’s life and legend, and he analyzes the numerous histories, novels, films, and other interpretations of the Kid. He points out the errors of earlier materials as well as those perpetuated in the last 12 years. As with the earlier volume, this is the last word on the Western figure who still captures the public imagination beyond all others. For public libraries and all students and scholars of the American West and American Popular Culture.

Time and the Technosphere: The Law of Time in Human Affairs By José Argüelles
Publisher: Bear & Company - 2002 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1879181991 | PDF | 8 MB

In Time and the Technosphere, Jose Arguelles presents a groundbreaking study that distinguishes the natural time of the cosmos from the artificial mechanistic time under which we currently live. Arguelles defines the actual nature of time as the frequency of synchronization. Applying this Law of Time to an understanding of the entire system of life on Earth, he shows that in order to not destroy Earth’s ability to sustain life, we must change our definition of time and adopt a natural harmonic calendar based on the 13-moon 28-day cycle.

Until the creation of the Gregorian calendar and the 60-minute hour, most of humanity lived by the 28-day cycle of natural time. The adoption of artificial time has subjected us to a 12:60 time frequency that governs the entire global industrialized civilization-the technosphere. With the collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, a fissure was created in this artificial technosphere, opening up the noosphere (Earth’s mental envelope).

Humanity has a golden opportunity to leave the strife of the past and enter a time of peace by adopting a harmonious natural calendar that will repair the damages caused by the irregular tempo of technospheric time. Our last best chance to adopt this natural time and step into the bright new future promised by the galactic shift of 2012 is the Great Calendar Change of 2004, a new discovery based on the author’s mathematical research into the Mayan calendar first begun in his landmark work The Mayan Factor. In Time and the Technosphere, Arguelles reveals the clear distinction between third-dimensional astronomical time and the fourth-dimensional synchronic order of the Law of Time, which holds enormous potential for the future of humanity.

Housing, Land, and Property Rights in Post-Conflict United Nations and Other Peace Operations: A Comparative Survey and Proposal for Reform
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521888239 | edition 2002 | PDF | 392 pages | 1,39 mb

For more than sixty years, the blue helmets of the United Nations peacekeeping missions have come to symbolize both the promise and the fragility of the UN. Though beset with unresolved conflicts, underfunded, and invariably burdened with sentiments of over-expectation, UN peace operations have made a difference with their ‘peacebuilding’ initiatives. While peacebuilding has been extensively analysed and critiqued, the UN’s role in addressing and ameliorating housing, land, and property rights challenges has not.

This volume seeks to fill the void by examining the UN’s experience grappling with the immense and inevitable housing, land, and property rights crises that emerge in all countries during and after conflict. Through analysis of UN peace missions in Burundi, Cambodia, Iraq, Kosovo, Rwanda, Sudan and elsewhere, this volume provides a unique array of perspectives on what the UN has done right, what it has done wrong, and what it should do in the future.

An Outline of the Science of Political Economy
Publisher: University Press of the Pacific | ISBN: 1410203859 | edition 2002 | PDF | 260 pages | 21,07 mb

Nassau William Senior (1790-1864) - economist, critical essayist and government adviser - was a highly original classical economist in the era between Ricardo’s Principles of 1817 and Mill’s Principles of 1848. He was the first Professor of Political Economy at Oxford, and in his published works he made original contributions to the theory of value, rent, population, money, and international trade. Senior was an active proponent of laissez-faire.

Although Senior did not achieve the originality and influence of the leading economists of the classical school - Smith, Ricardo, and Malthus - he did make an enduring contribution on the development of economics. John Stuart Mill took much effort to respond to Senior.
