Fredric Alan Maxwell, “Bad Boy Ballmer: The Man Who Rules Microsoft”
Publisher: William Morrow | 2002-09-01 | ISBN 0066210143 | PDF | 288 pages | 7.88 MB

Steve Ballmer has been with Bill Gates from the beginning when the bespectacled computer geek convinced him to drop out of Stanford Business School. The grandson of a Russian Czarist soldier and the son of a Swiss immigrant father, Ballmer is the Microsoft wizard’s main man - the only American to become, by 40, a decabillionaire while working for someone else. He is a man known for his ruthless negotiating tactics and a management style that has earned him the nickname “The Em-Balmer”. In this revealing biography - based on in-depth study and interviews with Microsoft insiders - Fredric Alan Maxwell provides fascinating new insights into the longstanding “marriage” between this odd couple of Ballmer and Gates.

Maxwell also tells the full story of a man so shamelessly arrogant that he told reporters “to heck with Janet Reno”, so intense and aggressive that he ripped his vocal cords by talking too loudly. Eye opening and thorough, BAD BOY BALLMER is a shocking look at one of the masterminds of the technological age.

Дрейфус С. (при участии Ассанжа Дж.)- Компьютерное подполье. История о хакинге, безумии и одержимости
Ек-бург:У-Фактория | 2005 | ISBN: 5970900400 | 488 pages | PDF | 1.53 MB

При техническом содействии австралийского хакера Джулиана Ассанже талантливой журналистке удалось проникнуть в тесно граничащий с криминалом мир хакерского подполья в США, Австралии и Великобритании. Помимо аккуратно фиксируемых технических подробностей, в фокусе повествования постоянно находятся живые люди, стоящие за всеми этими проникновениями. Порой блестящие до гениальности, порой одержимые, многие из этих хакеров так втянулись в свое “дело”, что в конце концов стали социальными изгоями.

Кто-то закончил наркотиками и безумием, кого-то подполье привело к аресту и длительному тюремному заключению…

По признанию многих, “Underground” стала чуть ли не единственной книгой, в которой автор глубоко и тщательно проанализировал компьютерное подполье (”Компьютерра”) Это не просто очередная книга об Интернете. В ее фокусе - причудливые судьбы и эксцентричные преступления выдающейся группы молодых хакеров. Захватывающая, в высшей степени читабельная книжка. Дрейфус открыла один из наиболее хорошо охраняемых спецслужбами секретов и создала книгу, читающуюся с удовольствием и напряжением…

Charles Darwin “Evolutionary Writings: Including the Autobiographies”
Oxford University Press | 2009-02-02 | ISBN: 0199208638 | 496 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB

On topics ranging from intelligent design and climate change to the politics of gender and race, the evolutionary writings of Charles Darwin occupy a pivotal position in contemporary public debate. This volume brings together the key chapters of his most important and accessible books, including the Journal of Researches on the Beagle voyage (1845), The Origin of Species (1859), and The Descent of Man (1871), along with the full text of his delightful autobiography. They are accompanied by generous selections of responses from Darwin’s nineteenth-century readers from across the world.

More than anything, they give a keen sense of the controversial nature of Darwin’s ideas, and his position within Victorian debates about man’s place in nature.
The wide-ranging Introduction by James A. Secord, Director of the Darwin Correspondence Project, explores the global impact and origins of Darwin’s work and the reasons for its unparalleled significance today. To increase its usefulness for readers coming to Darwin for the first time, the selection also includes a map of the Beagle voyage, a detailed chronology of Darwin’s life, and a biographical appendix identifying every individual mentioned in the text.

“Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage”
Merriam Webster | 1989 | ISBN: 0877790329 | siPDF | 978 pages | 30 MB
From Amy Einsohn’s The Copyeditor’s Handbook, A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, page 61:

“The best usage guide by far is Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage, a thousand pages of short articles, from “a, an” to “zoom.” Each entry includes comments from the so-called language experts, examples from respected writers, and a good dose of commonsense advice.”

From the Inside Flap:
Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage is a work of unparalleled authority and scholarship from Merriam-Webster, America’s leading dictionary publisher for almost 150 years. Our editors have long been documenting the use of those words that pose special problems of confused or disputed usage. Thus this work brings to the reader resources that include what is believed to be the world’s largest archive of 20th-century English usage, almost 14 million citations (examples of words used in context), collected over 100 years from thousands of sources, ranging from the Times Literary Supplement to Scientific American.

Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage is intended to serve the reader or writer who wishes to go beyond the personal predilections of a particular commentator or the subjective pronouncements of a usage panel. It is ideal for anyone who wants to understand the nature of the problematical usage and what others have had to say about it; how accomplished writers actually deal with the matter, whether what they do is in keeping with the received wisdom or not; and the basis for the advice offered.

Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage presents all of these things in a clear and readable fashion. For those who love the language this is not just a reference book to be picked up only to settle a dispute or solve a practical writing problem. Here is the real stuff of language, the opportunity to experience its vitality through more than 20,000 illustrative quotations from the best writers in the language.

Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage belongs on the bookshelf or desk of everyone who is serious about the language. Its wealth of information and careful guidance will amply repay the modest investment of its purchase.

Simon Blackburn “Ethics: A Very Short Introduction”
Oxford Paperbacks | 2003-05-08 | ISBN: 0192804421 | 150 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB
Our self-image as moral, well-behaved creatures is dogged by scepticism, relativism, hypocrisy, and nihilism, by the fear that in a Godless world science has unmasked us as creatures fated by our genes to be selfish and tribalistic, or competitive and aggressive.

In this ’sparklingly clear’ (Guardian) introduction to ethics, Simon Blackburn tackles the major moral questions surrounding birth, death, happiness, desire and freedom, showing us how we should think about the meaning of life, and how we should mistrust the soundbite-sized absolutes that often dominate moral debates.

Batya Gur, “Murder in Jerusalem: A Michael Ohayon Mystery (Michael Ohayon Mysteries)”
Harper Paperbacks | 2007 | ISBN: 0060852941 | 416 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School—Tirzah Rubin, set designer for Israeli television, is found dead under a fallen marble pillar. Michael Ohayon, the quiet, introspective Chief Superintendent of the Israeli police, arrives on the scene to begin an investigation of what first appears to be an accident and soon becomes a crime. When the killing is followed by a second and then a third death at the studio, Ohayon and his staff delve further into the deeply intertwined lives of the victims and the other major players in this closely knit television family.

Was the murderer’s motive love, politics, or something else? The story is rich in the culture of modern-day Israel and gives a vivid depiction of the behind-the-scenes drama of a television station, including a masterfully written scene depicting the hour before airtime. The characters are well fleshed out, though American teens might find the Israeli names initially distracting. However, young adults will soon be drawn into the love entanglements, the multiple mysteries, and the everyday lives of people in a war-torn country so often in the news. Teachers of world history will want to include this title on reading lists of fiction about current world issues, and English teachers can add it to the list of accessible books by foreign authors.—Ellen Bell, Amador Valley High School, Pleasanton, CA

Mathematical Masterpieces: Further Chronicles by the Explorers
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0387330615 | edition 2007 | PDF | 336 pages | 6,16 mb

This book traces the historical development of four different mathematical concepts by presenting readers with the original sources. Although primary sources can be more demanding, the investment yields the rewards of a deeper understanding of the subject, an appreciation of the details, and a glimpse into the direction research has taken.
Each chapter contains a different story, each anchored around a sequence of selected primary sources showcasing a masterpiece of mathematical achievement. The authors begin by studying the interplay between the discrete and continuous, with a focus on sums of powers. They proceed to the development of algorithms for finding numerical solutions of equations as developed by Newton, Simpson and Smale. Next they explore our modern understanding of curvature, with its roots in the emerging calculus of the 17th century, while the final chapter ends with an exploration of the elusive properties of prime numbers, and the patterns found therein.
This book emerged from a course taught at New Mexico State University to juniors and seniors majoring in mathematics. The intended audience is juniors and seniors majoring in mathematics, as well as anyone pursuing independent study. The authors have included exercises, numerous historical photographs, and an annotated bibliography.

History’s Disquiet
Columbia University Press | 2000-05-15 | ISBN: 0231117949 | 192 pages | PDF | 5 MB

Acclaimed historian Harry Harootunian calls attention to the boundaries, real and theoretical, that compartmentalize the world around us. In one of the first works to explore on equal footing European and Japanese conceptions of modernity -as imagined in the writings of Georg Simmel and Walter Benjamin, as well as ethnologist Yanagita Kunio and Marxist philosopher Tosaka Jun -Harootunian seeks to expose the problematic nature of scholarly categories.

In doing so, presents intellectual genealogies of such orthodox notions as “field” and “modernity” and other concepts intellectuals in the East and West have used to understand the changing world around them. Contrasting reflections on everyday life in Japan and Europe, Harootunian shows how responses to capitalist society were expressed in similar ways: social critics in both regions alleged a broad sense of alienation, particularly among the middle class. However, he also points out that Japanese critics viewed modernity as a condition in which Japan -without the lengthy period of capitalist modernization that characterized Europe and America -was either “catching up” with those regions or “copying” them. As elegantly written as it is controversial, this book is both an invitation for rethinking intellectual boundaries and an invigorating affirmation that such boundaries can indeed be broken down.

Brooks S Edwards”Pathology of Sudden Cardiac Death An Illustrated Guide “
Publisher: Blackwell Publishing 2006 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1405122129 | PDF | 6 MB
By far, cardiovascular disease is the leading primary or contributing cause of death in Western society. Cardiovascular death may be sudden and unexpected or may result from known or suspected disease. This bookwill review and illustrate themultiplicity of mechanisms that can result in cardiovascular collapse and death. We have chosen to review the topic of cardiac death in the format of an illustrated guide or atlas since we believe the visual picture provides a lasting impression of the fundamental disease states.

The cases reviewed in this book span the spectrum from common and ordinary diseases to rare and unusual conditions. By seeing the different states juxtaposed to each other, it is our hope that the reader will appreciate the many conditions that either directly cause sudden cardiac death or provide the substrate for the development of future lethal cardiac conditions.
