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.

Supramolecular Photosensitive and Electroactive Materials
Publisher: Academic Press | Pages: 970 | 2001-04 | ISBN 0125139047 | PDF | 45 MB
In the last decade, much progress has been made in these materials. This book presents a highly coherent coverage of supramolecular, photosensitive and electroactive materials, namely those that have been extensively investigated for applications in fields of electronic and photonic technologies.
This extensive reference provides broad coverage of on different types of materials, their processing, spectroscopic characterization, physical properties and device applications.
The implications reach from molecular recognition in synthetic and natural complexes to exciting new applications in chemical technologies, materials, nanostructures, functional materials, new generation catalysts, signal transducers, medical and biomedical applications and novel separation techniques. All these applications rely on supramolecular properties such as molecular recognition, molecular information, and tailored molecular assemblies.
This book is aimed to present a highly coherent coverage of supramolecular, photosenstive and electroactive materials and their applications in electronic and photonic technologies. The research behind these materials constitute some of the most actively pursued fields of science.

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.

Joel Bernstein, “Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals”
Oxford University Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0198506058 | 424 pages | PDF | 5,4 MB
… clear, vigorous, well-written and very readable … There seems to be nothing relevant that Bernstein has not included; his scholarship and command and study of the vast literature are remarkable … an excellent work.
Current Engineering Practice Joel Bernstein’s book represents the single most important source for the development of critical understanding of polymorphism and its commercial and industrial importance and might well play a decisive role in categorizing and reorganizing problems and endeavours on polymorphism-related research. Current Engineering Practice Prof. Joel Bernstein displays an impressive grasp of the subject of polymorphism, making possible a lot of information more accessible to the interesed reader. Current Engineering Practice … an excellent resource book and a very good read … can be recommended strongly both for content and interest. Robert Gould, Crystallographic Newsletter … a delight to review this eagerly awaited tome … In the end, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and in my opinion, Bernstein has served us a nutritional feast here. Enjoy! Roger J. Davey, Cryst. Growth Des.

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.
