P. Alex Linley, Stephen Joseph, Martin E. P. Seligman, “Positive Psychology in Practice”
Wiley | 2004 | ISBN: 0471459062 | 792 pages | PDF | 5,3 MB
A thorough and up-to-date guide to putting positive psychology into practice
From the Foreword: “This volume is the cutting edge of positive psychology and the emblem of its future.”
-Martin E. P. Seligman, Ph.D., Fox Leadership Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Authentic Happiness
Positive psychology is an exciting new orientation in the field, going beyond psychology’s traditional focus on illness and pathology to look at areas like well-being and fulfillment. While the larger question of optimal human functioning is hardly new - Aristotle addressed it in his treatises on eudaimonia - positive psychology offers a common language on this subject to professionals working in a variety of subdisciplines and practices. Applicable in many settings and relevant for individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and societies, positive psychology is a genuinely integrative approach to professional practice.
Positive Psychology in Practice fills the need for a broad, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art reference for this burgeoning new perspective. Cutting across traditional lines of thinking in psychology, this resource bridges theory, research, and applications to offer valuable information to a wide range of professionals and students in the social and behavioral sciences.
A group of major international contributors covers:
The applied positive psychology perspective
Historical and philosophical foundations
Values and choices in pursuit of the good life
Lifestyle practices for health and well-being
Methods and processes for teaching and learning
Positive psychology at work
The best and most thorough treatment of this cutting-edge discipline, Positive Psychology in Practice is an essential resource for understanding this important new theory and applying its principles to all areas of professional practice.

David Guttmann “Finding Meaning in Life, at Midlife and Beyond: Wisdom and Spirit from Logotherapy (Social and Psychological Issues: Challenges and Solutions)”
Praeger | English | 2008-09-30 | ISBN: 0313360170 | 192 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Having been mentored by Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, Emeritus Professor David Guttmann authored this book so general readers may understand this approach to finding meaning in life at the point when most of us begin deeply wondering over that question, at midlife and beyond. Especially in this day and age of multiple demands on our time and seemingly non-stop obligations, we too often find that it is only when the dust settles, after a work day or work week, or even after retirement, when we begin to wonder: What is the meaning of life?
The purpose? This book is a new millennium venture into those questions and their answers using logotherapy, written by a sage understudy who recalls Frankl, with his logotherapy, as the epitome of his theory even at 80 years old, wise and witty, exuding an energy, enthusiasm and youthful spirit that belied his years by decades. Aging does not diminish our power, our energy, and our quest for life, but reshapes it with new understandings, goals, and needs. But, says Guttmann, we live in a technical and machine-based world now, in which there is a danger of losing our souls. Here, readers find a new, creative perspective on aging and a fresh spiritual outlook.
This book will be of interest not only to general readers, especially those at midlife and beyond, but also to their families, friends, and students or professionals in the helping professions. This unique work provides knowledge to find meaning in life derived from the fields of philosophy, psychology, religion and gerontology, with case illustrations and vignettes to give readers both intellectual pleasure and practical guidance.

Beginners Guide to SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005
Publisher: Packt Publishing | ISBN: 1847193315 | edition 2007 | PDF | 320 pages | 6,61 mb
This step-by-step, hands on guide will take you right into the Visual Studio 2005 Integrated Development Interface making you appreciate and understand how Business Intelligence Projects and Packages are created using the Visual Studio designer. Sql Server Integration Services with the acronym SSIS is a comprehensive ETL tool that made its debut with SQL Server 2005.
It is a tool tightly integrated with the Visual Studio 2005 having all the functionalities that its forerunner DTS (Data Transformation Services) had in SQL Server 2000. This does not mean that it is just an improvement over DTS but a product which is totally different with a vastly improved interface; an extensible architecture; an enlarged tool set; ease of integration with other SQL Server Tools such as Analysis Services; capable of supporting connectivity with third party databases and bringing into a central location many database management tasks. Beginners Guide to SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005 provides you with the basic knowledge that you should have before you move on to more advanced ETL [Extraction, Transformation, and Loading]. The book will also provide you with a comprehensive description of the many designer windows that you may encounter while working with the designer. This guide provides the building blocks describing each block by way of an example as well as describing the nuts and bolts that bind the blocks. A majority of SSIS tasks are covered in this book and they are described fully in the summary of table contents section. You start building packages right from Chapter 2 and continue on to Chapter 20 gathering and building upon your knowledge in each step. The book will give you step-by-step explanation of the examples in the book. In each chapter you will get a little background of the SSIS task that you are going to create. You will then step through the numbered steps, creating, configuring, executing, and reviewing the results. The book has minimal coding (only two chapters) and exclusively uses the Visual Studio 2005 Designer.

Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry Volume V by by Alan R. Katritzky, Charles W. Rees
Publisher: Pergamon Press | 1997 | ISBN: 0080420729 | Pages: 995 | DJVU | 7.65 MB
The second edition of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry provides…an overview and will be an invaluable tool for all organic chemists until well into the next millennium. The information is well presented with adequate mechanistic discussion and good structural formulae.
With this large set Pergamon Press continues its efforts to present broad, scholarly overviews of major areas of chemical research. Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry II (CHEC-II) is a “sequel” to 1984’s Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry…Together these two sets offer chemists an alternative means of accessing the formidable literature dealing with heterocyclic substances. An interesting feature of CHEC-II is its unique method of providing literature references…the reference (87TL2827) translates at Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, page 2827…. In a work that contains over 50 000 total references, this is a useful time-saving device…. Its logical organization and text-based approach make it easier for nonspecialists and advanced students to consult, and its indexes are thorough and very helpful. — J. Am. Chem. Soc.
Since its publication in 1984, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry (CHEC) has become the standard work on the subject, indispensable to all serious readers in the multitudinous areas where heterocycles are employed. Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry II has two major aims: to report in the enormous advances in the subject of the last decade and to extend the coverage into areas where CHEC left significant gaps. The latter includes particularly saturated and partially saturated compounds, rings containing less common heteroatoms, and many classes of bicyclic and polycyclic systems. Material included in CHEC is, for the most part, not repeated in CHEC II and the two works are designed to be used together.

Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, and Creative African-American Cuisine
Da Capo Press | 2009-03-02 | ISBN: 0738212288 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The mere mention of soul food brings thoughts of greasy fare and clogged arteries. Bryant Terry offers recipes that leave out heavy salt and refined sugar, “bad” fats, and unhealthy cooking techniques, and leave in the down-home flavor. Vegan Soul Kitchen recipes use fresh, whole, high-quality, healthy ingredients and cooking methods with a focus on local, seasonal, sustainably raised food.
Terry’s new recipes have been conceived through the prism of the African Diaspora—cutting, pasting, reworking, and remixing African, Caribbean, African-American, Native American, and European staples, cooking techniques, and distinctive dishes to create something familiar, comforting, and deliciously unique. Reinterpreting popular dishes from African and Caribbean countries as well as his favorite childhood dishes, Terry reinvents African-American and Southern cuisine—capitalizing on the complex flavors of the tradition, without the animal products.

After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation
Basic Books | 2009-02-23 | ISBN: 0465003389 | 656 pages | PDF | 2 MB
When Hitler’s government collapsed in 1945, Germany was immediately subjected to brutal occupation by vengeful victors. General Eisenhower denied the Germans access to foreign aid, forcing Germans to subsist on about 1,200 calories a day. Over a million German POWs died in Allied captivity, as many as 2 million women were raped by Soviet occupiers, and hundreds of thousands of Germans died in the course of brutal deportations.
In After the Reich, Giles MacDonogh has drawn from a vast array of first-person accounts to give a voice to the millions of German civilians who, having lost a brutal war, found themselves struggling to survive a hellish “peace.”

This book explores what can be done with LINQ, shows how it works in an application, and addresses the emerging best practices. It presents the general purpose query facilities offered by LINQ in the upcoming C# 3.0 and VB.NET 9.0 languages. A running example introduces basic LINQ concepts. You’ll then learn to query unstructured data using LINQ to XML and relational data with LINQ to SQL. Finally, you’ll see how to extend LINQ for custom applications.
LINQ in Action will guide you along as you explore this new world of lambda expressions, query operators, and expression trees. As well, you’ll explore the new features of C# 3.0, VB.NET 9.0. The book is very practical, anchoring each new idea with running code. Whether you want to use LINQ to query objects, XML documents, or relational databases, you will find all the information you need to get started
But LINQ in Action does not stop at the basic code. This book also shows you how LINQ can be used for advanced processing of data, including coverage of LINQ’s extensibility, which allows querying more data sources than those supported by default. All code samples are built on a concrete business case. The running example, LinqBooks, is a personal book cataloging system that shows you how to create LINQ applications with Visual Studio 2008.

Sanford Friedenthal, Alan Moore, Rick Steiner, “A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language”
Morgan Kaufmann | 2008 | ISBN: 0123743796 | 576 pages | PDF | 21,7 MB
Systems engineers and architects must understand how all the parts of a system work together to satisfy its requirements. SysML is a general purpose graphical modeling language used to specify, analyze, and design systems that may include hardware, software, and personnel. It allows engineers to describe how a system interacts with its environment, and how its parts must interact to achieve the desired system behavior and performance.
The SysML model provides a shared view of the system, enabling a design team to surface issues early and prevent problems that would otherwise delay development and degrade design quality. Since SysML is based on UML, it also facilitates integration between systems and software development. SysML is now being adopted by companies across a broad range of industry, including Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, and IT System Developers.
This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide for modeling systems with SysML. It includes a full description of the language along with a quick reference guide, and shows how the language can be applied to specify, analyze, and design systems. It contains examples to help readers understand how SysML can be used in practice. The book also includes guidance on how an organization or project can transition to model based systems engineering using SysML, with considerations for processes, methods, tools, and training.
*The authoritative guide for understanding and applying SysML
*Authored by the foremost experts on the language
*Language description, examples, and quick reference guide included

Sue Spielman, “JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers”
Morgan Kaufmann | 2003 | ISBN: 0126567557 | 229 pages | PDF | 6,9 MB
Web developers and page authors who use JavaServer Pages (JSP) know that it is much easier and efficient to implement web pages without reinventing the wheel each time. In order to shave valuable time from their development schedules, those who work with JSP have created, debugged, and used custom tagsa set of programmable actions that provide dynamic behavior to static pagespaving the way towards a more common, standard approach to using Java technology for web development.
The biggest boost to this effort however has only recently arrived in the form of a standard set of tag libraries, known as the JSTL, which now provides a wide range of functionality and gives web page authors a much more simplified approach to implementing dynamic, Java-based web sites.
JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers is a timely resource for anyone interested in doing large-scale J2EE application development. It sticks to the main features of the JSTL so that developers don’t have to sift through unnecessary details to begin using the tags and working with the expression language. Sue Spielman’s straight-forward, practical approach is enhanced with numerous code samples and insightful descriptions to make learning the JSTL a quickly and easily accomplished task.
* Written by a best-selling author with a wealth of development experience and recognition in the Java community.
* Covers the core elements of the JSTL including the four standard tag libraries (core, internationalization/format, XML, and SQL) and expression language.
* Includes a reference section for all of the tabs and attributes contained in the JSTL.
* Via a companion web site, provides downloadable code for the code samples in the book.

Patrick Peak, Nick Heudecker, “Hibernate Quickly”
Publisher: Manning Publications (2005) | ISBN: 1932394419 | PDF | 9.81 Mb | 220 Pages
Hibernate Quickly is a companion volume to Manning’s Hibernate in Action which is a focused and comprehensive book on the subject written by the project founders. The current book aims to give readers the 20% of information they need 80% of the time. It uses the pages saved to orient the reader within the Hibernate “ecosystem”: the peripheral technologies and techniques typically used with Hibernate.
This is the book readers are likely to turn to if they want to get up and running quickly. Examples are developed incrementally to demonstrate Hibernate concepts and to show how Hibernate works with the other common development tools and frameworks such as XDoclet, Struts, WebWork, Spring, and Tapestry. Covers the newest version, Hibernate 3.

К.Косминков, Д.Гринюк - Самолеты сталинских соколов
Аэромузей | 2004 | Russian | 40 pages | PDF | 11.97 Mb
В этой небольшой книге - как бы справочнике в миниатюре, кратко изложена и сопровождена красочными иллюстрациями история создания и развития лучших отечественных самолетов периода 1917—1945 гг. По существу охвачена почти вся эпоха развития советских самолетов с поршневыми двигателями.
Конечно, среди поистине огромного числа самолетов, созданных советскими конструкторами в тот период, трудно выделить бесспорно лучшие. Тем не менее, каждый из представленных самолетов сыграл значительную роль в развитии советской авиации, даже если он и не выпускался массовой серией.
В книге не столько дается описание того или иного самолета, сколько рассказывается о том, в каких условиях и для чего он создавался, что удалось и не удалось достичь и почему. Изложение основано на документальных данных, а почти все цветные изображения относятся к реально существовавшим машинам. Летно-технические характеристики самолетов периода Великой Отечественной войны, приводимые в таблицах, соответствуют серийным образцам, непосредственно поставлявшимся на фронт, а не первым опытным экземплярам. Поэтому возможны некоторые расхождения с известными литературными источниками.

The year 2008 was one of momentous change and wild uncertainty. Though many concerns were raised about China’s prospects for mounting the Olympic Games, Beijing triumphed in spectacular form and staged many of the sporting events in uniquely designed venues. Later in the year, the global economic collapse sent the financial markets plunging and investors scrambling and forced consumers to tighten their belts.
Worldwide, populations that were already struggling to meet basic needs were further hampered by soaring food prices. Meanwhile, freegans, individuals dedicated to finding alternatives to a consumerist economy, munched on discarded vegetarian foodstuffs. A fractious U.S. presidential campaign resulted in the election of Democrat Barack Obama, who made history as the first African American to win that office…
The wrap-up of 2008 awaits your perusal and promises to provide a historical look at one of the most memorable years in history…

Stewart Elliott Guthrie - Faces in the Clouds: A New Theory of Religion
Oxford University Press | 1995 | ISBN: 0195098919 | Pages: 336 | PDF | 25.39 MB
Religion is universal human culture. No phenomenon is more widely shared or more intensely studied, yet there is no agreement on what religion is. Now, in Faces in the Clouds, anthropologist Stewart Guthrie provides a provocative definition of religion in a bold and persuasive new theory.
Guthrie says religion can best be understood as systematic anthropomorphism–that is, the attribution of human characteristics to nonhuman things and events. Many writers see anthropomorphism as common or even universal in religion, but few think it is central. To Guthrie, however, it is fundamental. Religion, he writes, consists of seeing the world as humanlike.
As Guthrie shows, people find a wide range of humanlike beings plausible: Gods, spirits, abominable snowmen, HAL the computer, Chiquita Banana. We find messages in random events such as earthquakes, weather, and traffic accidents. We say a fire “rages,” a storm “wreaks vengeance,” and waters “lie still.” Guthrie says that our tendency to find human characteristics in the nonhuman world stems from a deep-seated perceptual strategy: in the face of pervasive (if mostly unconscious) uncertainty about what we see, we bet on the most meaningful interpretation we can. If we are in the woods and see a dark shape that might be a bear or a boulder, for example, it is good policy to think it is a bear. If we are mistaken, we lose little, and if we are right, we gain much. So, Guthrie writes, in scanning the world we always look for what most concerns us–livings things, and especially, human ones. Even animals watch for human attributes, as when birds avoid scarecrows. In short, we all follow the principle–better safe than sorry.
Marshalling a wealth of evidence from anthropology, cognitive science, philosophy, theology, advertising, literature, art, and animal behavior, Guthrie offers a fascinating array of examples to show how this perceptual strategy pervades secular life and how it characterizes religious experience. Challenging the very foundations of religion, Faces in the Clouds forces us to take a new look at this fundamental element of human life.

The Private Equity Edge: How Private Equity Players and the World’s Top Companies Build Value and Wealth by Arthur Laffer, William Hass, IV,Shepherd G. Pryor
Publisher: McGraw-Hill | Number Of Pages: 448 | Publication Date: 2009-02-19 | ISBN-10: 0071590781 | PDF | 2 Mb
The world is changing and has never been more challenging to private equity players, public companies, and investors. With record market volatility and a global economic crisis, decision makers of all types can learn from successful private equity players and other top value builders.
Private equity is growing at a rapid rate, with $2.7 trillion in transactions since 2001 and buyouts occurring in every type of market, including declining ones.
And now, with the end of investment banks as we know them, the door is open to more opportunities than ever.
In The Private Equity Edge, economics giant Arthur B. Laffer, along with value-building experts William J. Hass and Shepherd G. Pryor IV, combines the concepts of intrinsic value, macroeconomics, and incentives into a single strategy used by today’s top value builders. You’ll learn how to create value while reducing risk by:
* Thoroughly exploring relevant data to quantify ranges of value and risk
* Anticipating reactions of those whom you seek to influence
* Exploring possibilities and options before making major decisions
* Employing incentive systems that work in both up and down markets
Examples of major private equity players at Blackstone, KKR, Carlyle, Cerberus, and Madison Dearborne Partners illustrate what to do and what to avoid in specific situations.
Decision makers seeking to take full advantage of the new, interconnected world of business and economics will learn how to make the best decision the first time around, quickly and with conviction—the key to seizing the private equity edge.

Building Genetic Medicine: Breast Cancer, Technology, and the Comparative Politics of Health Care (Inside Technology) by Shobita Parthasarathy
Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262162423 | April 1, 2007 | Pages: 296 | PDF | 2.82 MB
In Building Genetic Medicine, Shobita Parthasarathy shows how, even in an era of globalization, national context is playing an important role in the development and use of genetic technologies. Focusing on the development and deployment of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer (known as BRCA testing) in the United States and Britain, Parthasarathy develops a comparative analysis framework in order to investigate how national “toolkits” shape both regulations and the architectures of technologies and uses this framework to assess the implications of new genetic technologies.
BRCA testing was one of the most highly anticipated and publicized technologies of contemporary medicine. Parthasarathy argues that differences in the American and British approaches to health care and commercialization of research led to the establishment of different BRCA services in the two countries. In Britain, the technology was available through the National Health Service as an integrated program of counseling and laboratory analysis, and was viewed as a potentially cost-effective form of preventive care. In the United States, although BRCA testing was initially offered by a number of providers, one company eventually became the sole provider of a test available to consumers on demand.
Parthasarathy also reports on an unsuccessful attempt by the American provider of BRCA testing to market its services in Britain. British scientists, health-care providers, and patients rejected the American technology, she argues, because it was part of a social, economic, and political system to which they were not accustomed. Parthasarathy draws lessons for the future of genetic medicine from these cross-national differences, and discusses the ways in which comparative case studies can inform policy-making efforts in science and technology.

John W. Bowker - The Sacred Neuron: The Extraordinary New Discoveries Linking Science and Religion
I. B. Tauris | 2005 | ISBN: 1850434816 | Pages: 150 | PDF | 10.17 MB
A new way of understanding our emotionsand faith. Why do we think that things happen in the way that they do? Or, that some things are beautiful, and other things ugly, some good, and others evil?
In the past these questions have been answered by separating our emotional from our rational responses, but recent work in the neurosciences suggests that the questions now deserve very different answers. In his new book, John Bowker shows that reason and emotion work much more closely together in forming human opinions and judgments than has previously been supposed. This discovery has stunning implications for religion and for the human sense of God.

Tim Miller - 1001 Beds: Performances, Essays, and Travels
University of Wisconsin Press | 2006 | ISBN: 029921690X | Pages: 312 | PDF | 1.54 MB
For a quarter century, Tim Miller has worked at the intersection of performance, politics, and identity, using his personal experiences to create entertaining but pointed explorations of life as a gay American man—from the perils and joys of sex and relationships to the struggles of political disenfranchisement and artistic censorship.
This intimate autobiographical collage of Miller’s professional and personal life reveals one of the celebrated creators of a crucial contemporary art form and a tireless advocate for the American dream of political equality for all citizens.
Here we have the most complete Miller yet—a raucous collection of his performance scripts, essays, interviews, journal entries, and photographs, as well as his most recent stage piece Us. This volume brings together the personal, communal, and national political strands that interweave through his work from its beginnings and ultimately define Miller’s place as a contemporary artist, activist, and gay man.

Federal Facilities Council Technical Report No. 143, “Capital Asset Management: Tools and Strategies for Decision Making”
Publisher: National Academies Press | 2001 | 47 Pages | ISBN: 0309073413 | PDF | 1.1 MB
Federally owned capital assets include some 500,000 buildings and similar facilities worldwide acquired during 200 years of government operations. Government facilities are used to defend the national interest; conduct foreign policy; house historic, cultural and educational artifacts; pursue research; and provide services to the American public. These buildings and structures project an image of American government at home and abroad, contribute to the architectural and socioeconomic fabric of their communities, and support the organizational and individual performance of federal employees conducting the business of government (NRC, 1998).
Federal facilities embody significant investments and resources and therefore constitute a portfolio of public assets. At least 30 separate agencies manage these facilities. As stewards of this public investment, federal facilities program managers face a number of challenges (NRC, 1998):
*extending the useful life of aging facilities
*altering or retrofitting facilities to consolidate space or accommodate new functions and technologies
*meeting evolving facility-related standards for safety, environmental quality, and accessibility
*maintaining or disposing of excess facilities created through military base closures and realignments, downsizing, or changing demographics
*finding innovative ways and technologies to maximize limited resources
In the 1990s Congress and the Executive Branch took a number of initiatives to improve capital asset decision making in the federal government. These include enacting the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 and a series of federal financial accounting standards; developing the Capital Programming Guide (1997); and appointing the President’s Commission to Study Capital Budgeting (1997). Senior and mid-level agency officials are now seeking ways to implement these initiatives efficiently and effectively.

Stephen Brown - Wizard!: Harry Potter’s Brand Magic
Cyan Communications | 2005 | ISBN: 1904879306 | Pages: 192 | PDF | 1.39 MB
Harry Potter may not be the biggest brand in the world, or the most venerable, but his story is one of the most dramatic. This book tells the story of the Harry Potter brand and how it has taken the entertainment world by storm.
Joanne K Rowling and her fabulous money-spinning creation is a contemporary fairytale, a 21st century version of the classic cornucopian chronicle. An impoverished single parent pens an accidental bestseller, which grows exponentially. The book begets more books, which beget movies and merchandise and huge media coverage.
Today, Harry Potter is as much a brand as Tom Cruise, Starbucks or even Heinz. In a world where corporate storytelling is the new rock ’n’ roll, it is no longer enough to tell a single story coherently – important and necessary though that is. It must be a majestic brand story, a magnificent brand story, a magical brand story.
The Harry Potter “franchise” is a fascinating story in itself, but it is a story that is woven into all the other Harry Potter stories - stories about the author, stories about the readers, stories about the nay-sayers and sceptics. This book unpicks the various narrative strands that make up the Harry Potter story, and provides a fascinating insight into how Harry Potter became one of the world’s most recognised brands in an extraordinarly short period of time.

Lee Strobel - The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God
Zondervan | 2004 | ISBN: 0310241448 | Pages: 352 | PDF | 1.44 MB
Are Christianity and science incompatible? If there is a God, is he only an impersonal starter force? An introductory high school biology class first propelled Lee Strobel toward a life of atheism. God and science, he reasoned, were mutually exclusive. When the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune converted to Christianity, he decided to investigate the science he had once accepted as truth.
Did science point toward or away from God? As Strobel interviews a variety of scientists on everything from debunking evolutionary icons to the implications of the Big Bang to the existence of the human soul, he builds his case: scientific evidence points toward Intelligent Design.
Although the discussion often veers into the academic, Strobel works hard to make it accessible to those without scientific training. Throughout the book, he salts interview transcript information with interesting personal stories of his own spiritual and scientific quest for knowledge, as well as sometimes over-detailed descriptions of the actual interviews (right down to the type of beverages consumed). Each chapter contains suggestions for further reading on particular issues of science and faith.
Strobel concludes that, when correctly interpreted, science and biblical teaching support each other. He quotes physicist Paul Davies, “…science offers a surer path to God than religion.” Open-minded readers will find that this book, and its questions for reflection and group study, invites conversation and investigation.–Cindy Crosby

Dump ‘Em: How to Break Up with Anyone from Your Best Friend to Your Hairdresser
Publisher: Collins Living | 2009-04-01 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0061646628 | PDF | 1.3 MB
There’s a fine line between house guest and house pest, your best friend and your worst enemy, and it’s important to know when those relationships have passed the point of no return. These platonic relationships are just as significant, often taking up more time both literally and emotionally, than romantic ones. So what happens when the honeymoon is over and these relationships turn sour? We’ve been given an arsenal of advice to help navigate the romantic break up, and yet, no one has told us how to break up with those other people in our lives - until now.
Delivering a mix of humour and prescriptive advice, Jodyne Speyer has arrived to put us out of our misery, and teach us how to speak up, once and for all.”Dump ‘Em” will give us the tools we need to end all of our unwanted relationships, guiding us through every stage, from recognising the warning signs of when we should dump someone, to telling us just what to say (and what not to say) when the dumping gets tough, all the while teaching us to master the art of the break up. Each chapter uses clever sidebars filled with useful tips, facts and anecdotes, and will also feature ‘personality types’ for us to try out when ending a relationship. The chapters will also include expert advice for each situation; for example, Sarah Silverman will tell us exactly how to dump a member of your family, Kato Kaelin will discuss the best ways to go about dumping your houseguest, and Thomas Mesereau (who represented Michael Jackson, Robert Blake, among others) chimes in on how to dump your lawyer.

Robert Deel, “The Strategic Electronic Day Trader”
Wiley | 2002 | ISBN: 0471254886 | 224 pages | PDF | 5,9 MB
Anyone with a computer can day trade, but day trading clearly isn’t for every one. In fact, as Robert Deel makes clear in The Strategic Electronic Day Trader, only a very few who try it will survive and prosper. Deel, who has trained thousands of traders in the last decade, says 92 percent will lose money in the first two years, and only 2 percent will make money on a consistent basis.
He compares the challenge to war: “Most battles are won or lost in the preparation stage, long before the first shot is fired. Trading is high-tech warfare. Never underestimate your opponents. Remember, if you are not the marksman, you are the target.”
The first six chapters explain what every day trader needs to know: how to read the NASDAQ level-two screen; order routing, execution methods, and rules; and trading through the Electronic Communications Networks (ECNs). Included are sections on charting and technical indicators with specific advice for adapting these to very short-term trading strategies. Deel shows how to create screens and filters to identify high probability/profitability trades, and he discusses the best times of the day to trade and when and how to go short. Also included is a section on recommended hardware configurations and proper setup of the trading environment.
In final chapters, Deel describes “the biomechanical trader” who prepares for battle through an intense process of mental training and conditioning that includes biofeedback, meditation, visualization, and hypnosis. This is a practical, easily understood presentation of what it takes to be one of the few who will succeed as marksmen.

The Winged Energy of Delight: Selected Translations
Publisher:Harper Perennial | 2005-05-10| 416 Pages | ISBN: 0060575867 | PDF | 1.3 MB |
Rapidshare&file-rack
The astonishing collection of the translations Robert Bly has been producing for more than fifty years, introducing foreign poets to American readers for the first time.
Robert Bly has always been amazingly prescient in his choice of poets to translate. The poetry he selected supplied qualities that seemed lacking from the literary culture of this country.
At a time when editors and readers knew only Eliot and Pound, Bly introduced Neruda, Vallejo, Trakl, Jiménez, Traströmer, and Rumi. His most recent translations include Rolf Jacobsen, Francis Ponge, and the nineteenth-century Indian poet Ghalib. Here, in The Winged Energy of Delight, the poems of twenty-two renowned and lesser-known poets from around the world are brought together. As Kenneth Rexroth has said, Robert Bly “is one of the leaders of a poetic revival that has returned American literature to the world community.”

Understanding Bioanalytical Chemistry: Principles and Applications
Publisher: Wiley | Pages: 304 | 2009-03-11 | ISBN 0470029072 | PDF | 1.5 MB
Although chemistry is core to the life and health sciences, it is often viewed as a challenging subject.
Conventional textbooks tend to present chemistry in a way that is not always easily accessible to students, particularly those coming from diverse educational backgrounds, who may not have formally studied chemistry before.
This prompted the authors to write this particular textbook, taking a new, fresh and innovative approach to teaching and learning of chemistry, focussing on bioanalysis to set knowledge in context.
This textbook is primarily targeted to undergraduate life and health science students, but may be a useful resource for practising scientists in a range of disciplines.
In this textbook the authors have covered basic principles, terminology and core technologies, which include key modern experimental techniques and equipment used to analyse important biomolecules in diagnostic, industrial and research settings.
Written by two authors with a wealth of experience in teaching, research and academic enterprise, this textbook represents an invaluable tool for students and instructors across the diverse range of biological and health science courses.

Sultana: Surviving the Civil War, Prison, and the Worst Maritime Disaster in American History
Publisher:Collins | 2009-04-01 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0061470546 | PDF | 1.3 MB
A powerful account of a surprisingly forgotten tragedy of the Civil War
A stunning wartime account of human endurance and adventure, and an exploration of just how much the human body and mind can take, Sultana follows several young Union soldiers through the Civil War and what was, for them, its unimaginably disastrous aftermath.
We see them enlist and then almost immediately be plunged into a cascading series of wartime horrors: Battle, trauma, prison camp, and, finally, the sinking of the Sultana, the steamboat that was taking them back home.
On an April night in 1865, the Sultana slowly moved up the dark Mississippi, its overtaxed engines straining under the weight of a human cargo that included an estimated twenty-four hundred passengers—more than six times the number it was designed to carry. Most were weak, emaciated Union soldiers, recently paroled from Confederate prison camps, on their way home after enduring the violence of war. At two a.m., three of Sultana’s four boilers exploded. Within twenty minutes, it went down in fire and water, taking an estimated seventeen hundred lives.
The sinking of the Sultana remains the worst maritime disaster in American history, yet due to a confluence of contemporary events (Lincoln had recently been assassinated and the war had ended), it soon faded into relative obscurity. Now Alan Huffman presents this harrowing story against the backdrop of the endless suffering already endured by its survivors. Using contemporary research as well as digging deep into archives and family keepsakes, Huffman paints a gripping portrait of the young men who made it home alive.

Project Management: Dennis Lock
Ashgate | ISBN: 0566087723 | 2007-09-30 | PDF (OCR) | 520 pages | 1.82 Mb
Dennis Lock’s masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been preeminent in its field for four decades. It was among the very few early books to treat project management holistically, rather than as a collection of separate techniques. It thus explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts to sophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams.
The text has been completely restructured and largely rewritten for this ninth edition, so that the sequence now follows even more closely the life-cycle of a typical project from its earliest definition to final close-out. Case examples and diagrams have all been reviewed, updated, augmented or replaced. Expansion from 25 to 30 chapters has allowed greater emphasis to be given to stakeholders’ perceptions of success, the organization and management of business change projects, people’s roles in project management and the wider business contexts in which project management has been adopted. As with previous editions, meticulous care has been taken to ensure that the text style is reader-friendly and free of unnecessary jargon, with clear diagrams and a construction that is logically organized, well indexed and simple to navigate. The result is certain to maintain the book’s acclaimed status as the standard work for managers and students alike.

Modeling Bounded Rationality
Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262681005 | edition 1997 | PDF | 220 pages | 2,4 mb
The notion of bounded rationality was initiated in the 1950s by Herbert Simon; only recently has it influenced mainstream economics. In this book, Ariel Rubinstein defines models of bounded rationality as those in which elements of the process of choice are explicitly embedded.
The book focuses on the challenges of modeling bounded rationality, rather than on substantial economic implications.

Sheryl L. Olson, Arnold J. Sameroff, “Biopsychosocial Regulatory Processes in the Development of Childhood Behavioral Problems”
Cambridge University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 052184813X | 352 pages | PDF | 1,35 MB
In this timely volume, leading behavioral scientists describe recent advances in our understanding of the multiple biopsychosocial regulatory processes underlying the development of children’s behavior disorders. A full spectrum of regulatory influences is addressed, ranging from genes to cultural factors. Individual chapters highlight the importance of developing research paradigms that synthesize biological, behavioral, and social-ecological influences, and of viewing self-regulation as a complex system that reorganizes across development.
The regulatory foundations of a diverse range of childhood behavior problems are examined, including anxiety, social withdrawal, depression, conduct problems, inattention and impulsivity, and sleep problems.

Bose-Condensed Gases at Finite Temperatures
Publisher: Cambridge University | Pages: 474 | 2009-02-23 | ISBN 0521837022 | PDF | 3 MB
The discovery of Bose Einstein condensation (BEC) in trapped ultracold atomic gases in 1995 has led to an explosion of theoretical and experimental research on the properties of Bose-condensed dilute gases. The first treatment of BEC at finite temperatures, this book presents a thorough account of the theory of two-component dynamics and nonequilibrium behaviour in superfluid Bose gases.
It uses a simplified microscopic model to give a clear, explicit account of collective modes in both the collisionless and collision-dominated regions. Major topics such as kinetic equations, local equilibrium and two-fluid hydrodynamics are introduced at an elementary level. Explicit predictions are worked out and linked to experiments. Providing a platform for future experimental and theoretical studies on the finite temperature dynamics of trapped Bose gases, this book is ideal for researchers and graduate students in ultracold atom physics, atomic, molecular and optical physics and condensed matter physics.

The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems
264 pages | Oxford University Press, USA (March 15, 2009) | 0199217351 | PDF | 1 Mb
Citizens living in presidential or parliamentary systems face different political choices as do voters casting votes in elections governed by rules of proportional representation or plurality. Political commentators seem to know how such rules influence political behavior.
They firmly believe, for example, that candidates running in plurality systems are better known and held more accountable to their constituencies than candidates competing in elections governed by proportional representation. However, such assertions rest on shaky ground simply because solid empirical knowledge to evaluate the impact of political institutions on individual political behavior is still lacking. The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems has collected data on political institutions and on individual political behavior and scrutinized it carefully. In line with common wisdom results of most analyses presented in this volume confirm that political institutions matter for individual political behavior but, contrary to what is widely believed, they do not matter much.

Scotland: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Rab Houston
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | Number Of Pages: 144 | Publication Date: 2009-01-15 | ISBN-10: 019923079X | PDF | 2 Mb
Scotland’s past is too often seen through a film of myths and misconceptions. In this Very Short Introduction, Rab Houston explores the key themes from more than 1,000 years of Scotland’s very real and very fascinating history. Covering everything from the Jacobites to devolution to the modern economy, this concise account presents a fully-integrated picture of Scottish society, culture, politics and religion.
Houston examines a range of important subjects, including how an independent Scottish nation emerged in the Middle Ages, how it was irrevocably altered by Reformation, how links with England and economic change have affected Scotland, and how Scotland has in turn influenced the development of the modern world. The book shows as well why Scotland’s history has made it distinct from England, both before and after Union, and why it has today arrived at a political, social and cultural watershed. Authoritative, lucid, and ranging widely over issues of environment, people, and identity, this is Scotland’s story without myths: an ideal introduction for those interested in the Scots, but also a balanced yet refreshing challenge to those who already feel at home in Scotland past and present.

Nuclear Receptors as Molecular Targets for Cardiometabolic and Central Nervous System Diseases
Publisher: IOS Press | ISBN: 1586038575 | edition 2008 | PDF | 126 pages | 1,16 mb
Nuclear receptors are a family of transcription factors consisting of 49 members identified in the human genome. Nuclear receptors regulate transcription by binding to response elements in the regulatory regions of target genes and thereby affect expression of genes involved in differentiation, growth, lipid homeostasis, inflammation and immunity.
Over the past two decades significant advances have been made in the understanding of the regulation of gene expression by nuclear receptors.The knowledge on nuclear receptors has delivered novel therapies for lipid control and hormone replacement, and for management of cancer and diabetes. Therefore, nuclear receptors are attractive molecular targets for design of therapy for diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, cancer, inflammation and neurodegeneration. The focus of this volume is centered on the mechanistic involvement of nuclear receptors in cardiological, metabolic and neurological disorders, on possible explanation of pathways involved in pathogenesis, on susceptibility to and prevention of metabolic and neurological disorders and on the aspects of drug finding including chemistry and rational drug design. This volume reviews recent progress on nuclear receptors critically and will intrigue those pursuing interest in physiology, pathology and medicine.

William Edelglass, Jay Garfield “Buddhist Philosophy: Essential Readings”
Oxford University Press | English | 2009-04-21 | ISBN: 0195328175 | 480 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
The Buddhist philosophical tradition is vast, internally diverse, and comprises texts written in a variety of canonical languages. It is hence often difficult for those with training in Western philosophy who wish to approach this tradition for the first time to know where to start, and difficult for those who wish to introduce and teach courses in Buddhist philosophy to find suitable textbooks that adequately represent the diversity of the tradition, expose students to important primary texts in reliable translations, that contextualize those texts, and that foreground specifically philosophical issues.
Buddhist Philosophy fills that lacuna. It collects important philosophical texts from each major Buddhist tradition. Each text is translated and introduced by a recognized authority in Buddhist studies. Each introduction sets the text in context and introduces the philosophical issues it addresses and arguments it presents, providing a useful and authoritative guide to reading and to teaching the text. The volume is organized into topical sections that reflect the way that Western philosophers think about the structure of the discipline, and each section is introduced by an essay explaining Buddhist approaches to that subject matter, and the place of the texts collected in that section in the enterprise.
This volume is an ideal single text for an intermediate or advanced course in Buddhist philosophy, and makes this tradition immediately accessible to the philosopher or student versed in Western philosophy coming to Buddhism for the first time. It is also ideal for the scholar or student of Buddhist studies who is interested specifically in the philosophical dimensions of the Buddhist tradition.

Mitchel Sellers, Shaun Walker “Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming”
Wrox | English | February 24, 2009 | ISBN: 0470171162 | 336 pages | PDF | 5,1 MB
This book was written to provide insight into the development techniques needed (and the options available) to work within the DotNetNuke framework. Emphasis is placed on the available methods to extend the framework, as well as the situations and rules governing when each respective extension model should be used.
Along with this emphasis on selecting the right extension method, the book stresses the importance of leveraging the framework in as many areas as possible, and ultimately using the framework to the advantage of the developer, rather than merely working with it.
One current weakness of the DotNetNuke framework is developer documentation. The framework provides developers with numerous amazing methods to extend the framework and build truly robust applications, but as of this writing, minimal API documentation exists, and overall development topics are scattered all over the Internet. Many community members have helped to supplement this lack of developer content by writing blog articles and technical tutorials to help teach the individual concepts, but because there is no central repository, it can be tedious and difficult to find just what you need.
This book helps truly identify and document some excellent new features that are supported starting with DotNetNuke 5.0. The inclusion of jQuery exposes developers to a great JavaScript library that will enable interactive and animated interfaces to be created easily. The new Module Packaging system (discussed in detail in Appendix D) provides module developers and skin designers with many much-needed options when it comes to deploying applications. This book was written to expose this information, and tofunction as a key resource for the development community.
This book assumes that the reader has a working knowledge of standard ASP.NET development techniques and terminologies. Samples in the book are provided in both C# and Visual Basic (VB) to enable readers with diverse backgrounds to fully understand the concepts presented. Users do not need to have a comprehensive understanding of DotNetNuke prior to using this book because the early chapters discuss the configuration of both DotNetNuke and the development environment, and careful consideration has been taken to ensure that DotNetNuke-specific terminology is explained as the book progresses.
Readers already familiar with DotNetNuke 4.x development will find this book valuable because it introduces many of the new features of the latest software version, although some of the beginning chapters for these readers will be redundant because the overall concepts of environment configuration and basic interface elements have not changed from 4.x to 5.x. Differences between versions 4.x and 5.x are pointed out as appropriate.
As the title implies, this book primarily covers development techniques within the DotNetNuke 5.x platform. The chapters point out similarities and differences between the 4.x and 5.x platforms, enabling readers to apply some newer concepts to the older technology. Although this book primarily focuses on the concept of module development, it discusses other extension models as well, such as skin objects and authentication providers. Also covered in this book are recommended practices for successful integration with the framework.
This book begins with an introduction to development within DotNetNuke. The discussions walk you through DotNetNuke setup, terminology, development environment setup, and options for .NET project setup.
The book then presents a scenario-based model to introduce basic concepts of module development. This is accomplished by building a simple guestbook module that demonstrates how individual portions interact with one another. The discussion lays the foundation for the most basic elements of development within DotNetNuke. Later in the book, you learn about the more advanced module programming concepts, such as optional interfaces and DotNetNuke user controls. This discussion additionally introduces other extension methods, such as authentication providers and skin objects, as well as best practices.
In short, the main content of the book creates a working model that guides you through the most common development scenarios; at the same time, it provides the detail needed to tightly integrate custom code with the framework.
The appendixes provide supplemental information to what is contained in the chapters. This is material that, while not critical to an understanding of the individual chapters, is nonetheless important. The appendixes include items such as community resources and general DotNetNuke configuration items, as well as a detailed look at the new module manifest and a few key integration API points that are not well documented overall.

Mail Order Retailing in Britain: A Business and Social History
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0198296509 | edition 2005 | PDF | 258 pages | 1,46 mb
Since its inception in the late 19th century, Britain’s mail order industry both exploited and generated social networks in building its businesses. The common foundation of the sector was the agency system; Sales were made through catalogs held by agents, ordinary people in families, neighborhoods, pubs, clubs and workplaces.
Through this agency system mail order firms in Britain were able to tap social networks both to build a customer base, but also to obtain vital information on credit worthiness. In this, the first comprehensive history of the British mail order industry, the authors combine business and social history to fully explain the features and workings of this industry. They show how British general mail order industry firms such as Kay and Co., Empire Stores, Littlewoods, and Grattan grew from a range of businesses as diverse as watch sales or football pools.

Jue Wang, Michael F. Cohen, “Image and Video Matting”
Now Publishers Inc | 2008 | ISBN: 1601981341 | 96 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
If you’ve ever wanted to add that missing member of your family to a group photograph, you can now, given newly developed technology. Simply find a picture of the missing person, determine a “matte” that will lift them out and leave the background behind, and use the matte to insert them in the original image. Matting refers to the problem of accurate foreground estimation in images and video.
The matte defines which pixels are foreground, which are background, and for pixels along the boundary or in semi-transparent regions such as hair, the matte defines the mixture of foreground and background at each pixel. Matting is one of the key techniques in many image editing and film production applications, thus has been extensively studied in the research literature. With the recent advances of digital cameras, using matting techniques to create novel composites or facilitate other editing tasks has gained increasing interest from both professionals as well as consumers. Consequently, various matting techniques and systems have been proposed to try to efficiently extract high quality mattes from both still images and video sequences. Image and Video Matting: A Survey provides a comprehensive review of existing image and video matting algorithms and systems, with an emphasis on the advanced techniques that have been recently proposed. Various methods are described and contrasted and finally tested against a uniform set of examples. Image and Video Matting: A Survey is most appropriate for a graduate level course in computational photography, or for any student or serious practitioner interested in the inner workings of matting methods.

Electronic Properties of Materials
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 438 | 2004-09-23 | ISBN 038795144X | DJVU | 6 MB
This book on electrical, optical, magnetic and thermal properties of materials differs from other introductory texts in solid state physics. First, it is written for engineers, particularly materials and electrical engineers, who want to gain a fundamental understanding of semiconductor devices, magnetic materials, lasers, alloys, and so forth.
Second, it stresses concepts rather than mathematical formalism. Third, it is not an encyclopedia: The topics are restricted to material considered to be essential and which can be covered in one 15-week semester. The book is divided into five parts. The first part, “Fundamentals of Electron Theory,” introduces the essential quantum mechanical concepts needed for understanding materials science; the other parts may be read independently of each other. Many practical applications are discussed to provide students with an understanding of electronic devices currently in use. The solutions to the numerical problems are given in the appendix. Previous editions have been well received by students and teachers alike. This third edition has again been thoroughly revised and brought up to date to take into account the explosive developments in electrical, optical, and magnetic materials and devices. In particular, the book contains expanded sections on flat-panel displays (liquid crystals, electroluminescent devices, and field-emission and plasma displays) as well as discussions of recent developments in ferro- and piezoelectricity, magneto-optical memories, photonic and magnetoresistive devices, blue- and green-emitting LED’s, and dielectric and thermoelectric properties. Rolf E. Hummel is Professor of Materials Science at the University of Florida, Gainesville. He received his Ph.D. in 1963 from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and the Max-Planck Institute for Materials Research, also in Stuttgart. Credits to original uploader DOWNLOAD

David Weigall, “International Relations: A Concise Companion”
A Hodder Arnold Publication 2003 | ISBN-10: 0340763337 | 224 Pages | PDF | 14,9 MB
This book offers a convenient, cross-referenced guide for students of international relations, twentieth-century international history, and other related studies. It also provides a comprehensive reference book for the general reader interested in these subjects and the contemporary global order. In recent decades, this field has been studied in greatly increased depth and variety and a large number of terms have been added to the vocabulary.
Much writing on international relations presumes understanding of a sophisticated terminology and comparison that are initially daunting. This books is a handy reference guide to this terminology. It will ease the student’s task with both the theoretical and factal aspects of their study, providing helpful examples, elaborating context and guiding them to further study. Key entries recommend further reading, while maps and a general annotated bibliography provide additional guidance.

Public Economics in Action: The Basic Income/Flat Tax Proposal
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0198292163 | edition 1997 | PDF | 184 pages | 7,14 mb
This book surveys recent developments in public economics by studying the proposals for a basic income/flat tax scheme. It discusses various approaches to taxation and presents a framework for a system which would affect both personal income and the social security system, replacing the one by a flat-rate income tax and the other by a guaranteed income.
The idea has generated wide interest in a number of countries, and is being actively discussed by a number of political groups. This book explains how these changes would benefit a wide variety of social groups, but asks how a single reform can meet the very different objectives of different supporters.

Indonesia Betrayed: How Development Fails
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press | ISBN: 0824831152 | edition 2007 | PDF | 265 pages | 1,67 mb
Supporters of neoliberalism claim that free markets lead to economic growth, the creation of a middle class, and the establishment of democratically accountable governments. Critics point to a widening gap between rich and poor as countries compete to win foreign investment, and to the effects on the poor of neoliberal programs that restrict funding for health, education, and welfare.
This book offers a ground-level view from Sumatra of the realities behind these debates during the final years of Suharto’s New Order and the beginning of a transition to more democratic government. The author’s wealth of primary data from ten years of interviews and local newspaper reportage (1994-2004) shows how farmers and laborers were dispossessed by both government policies and crony capitalism. Elizabeth Collins relates the stories of populist efforts in South Sumatra to combat “development” policies responsible for producing extreme poverty and allowing corruption to flourish. She describes how student-led NGOs worked with farmers fighting to retain their livelihoods in the lowland forests of South Sumatra.

Axel Schuessler , “ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese (ABC Chinese Dictionary Series)”
University of Hawaii Press; Bilingual edition (December 31, 2006) | ISBN-10: 0824829751 | 656 Pages | PDF | 53,1 MB
This is the first genuine etymological dictionary of Old Chinese written in any language. As such, it constitutes a milestone in research on the evolution of the Sinitic language group. Whereas previous studies have emphasized the structure of the Chinese characters, this pathbreaking dictionary places primary emphasis on the sounds and meanings of Sinitic roots.
Based on more than three decades of intensive investigation in primary and secondary sources, this completely new dictionary places Old Chinese squarely within the Sino-Tibetan language family (including close consideration of numerous Tiberto-Burman languages), while paying due regard to other language families such as Austroasiatic, Miao-Yao (Hmong-Mien), and Kam-Tai.
Designed for use by nonspecialists and specialists alike, the dictionary is highly accessible, being arranged in alphabetical order and possessed of numerous innovative lexicographical features. Each entry offers one or more possible etymologies as well as reconstructed pronunciations and other relevant data. Words that are morphologically related are grouped together into “word families” that attempt to make explicit the derivational or other etymological processes that relate them. The dictionary is preceded by a substantive and significant introduction that outlines the author’s views on the linguistic position of Chinese within Asia and details the phonological and morphological properties, to the degree they are known, of the earliest stages of the Chinese language and its ancestor. This introduction, because it both summaries and synthesizes earlier work and makes several original contributions, functions as a useful reference work all on its own.
The ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese is a monumental achievement in the history of Chinese linguistics, offering many new hypotheses and systematically evaluating and incorporating earlier scholarship. It will be warmly welcomed by scholars in a wide variety of China- and Asia-related fields, including early Chinese language, literature, culture, and thought as well as the broader cultural-linguistic landscape of prehistorical East and Southeast Asia.

Equilibrium, Stability and Growth
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | ISBN: 0198281455 | edition 1964 | PDF | 240 pages | 8,26 mb
THIS book brings together my recent papers published in several journals. They have been revised in various places and contain some new material. The main model carried through the whole book is Professor Leontief’s input-output system; and it is dynamized from various points of view.
Chapter I discusses formal similarities between the exchange equilibrium under weak gross substitutability and the static input-output system. By algebraic operations only (no infinite processes being used) it is seen that the Hicksian laws of comparative statics and the LeChatelier-Samuelson principle hold in both systems.

This handbook is intended primarily for the use of travelers in the Near and Middle East who are interested in antiquities without being already trained archaeologists. Much knowledge is lost because it comes in the way of those who do not know how to profit by it or to record it.
Accordingly, it has been thought that a handbook of elementary information and advice may be found of service by travelers with archaeological tastes; and the Trustees of the British Museum have undertaken the publication of it.

Vijay Krishna, “Auction Theory”
Academic Press | 2002 | ISBN: 012426297X | 316 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB
“Vijay Krishna’s book provides a very thorough and patient presentation of auction theory, starting from the most basic analysis and graduating to sophisticated, state of the art theory, including multi-unit auctions. This book covers a very wide range of auction topics, providing a clear and accessible treatment.
The theory is presented in a careful and easily understood style accessible to honors undergraduates as well as all economics graduate students. Krishna’s book will certainly become the central book on auction theory.”
–R. Preston McAfee, Murray S. Johnson Chair in Economics, University of Texas
“This book not only sets out much of the theoretical literature on auctions–including results that are very recent–but does so with a clarity, elegance, and rigor that is characteristic of Vijay Krishna’s work.”
–Eric Maskin, A.O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A.
“The book gives a superb presentation of auction theory, with clear and concise proofs of all results. It is essential reading for any serious student of auctions.”
–Peter Cramton, Professor of Economics, University of Maryland
“This is the book we have been waiting for: a high level treatment of auction theory that carefully presents the technical details necessary for an in depth understanding of the main themes of auction theory, ideal as a basis for a graduate course, and by an author who has himself made important contributions to the subject.”
–Paul Klemperer, Edgeworth Professor of Economics, Nuffield College, University of Oxford, U.K. — Review

Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy By Victor O. Sadras
Publisher: Academic Press | ISBN: 0123744318 | edition 2009 | PDF | 600 pages | 7,8 mb
Contemporary agriculture confronts the challenge of increasing demand in terms of quantitative and qualitative production targets. These targets have to be achieved against the background of soil and water scarcity, world-wide and regional shifts in the patterns of land use driven by both climate change and the need to develop crop-based sources of energy, and the environmental and social aspects of agricultural sustainability.
Hence, this book compiles a multi-authored perspective on the ways in which crop physiology could be integrated with other disciplines.

Math Wars: A Guide for Parents and Teachers
Praeger Publishers | 2004-12-30 | ISBN: 0275984230 | 200 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Parents are concerned about their children’s math learning. Teachers are concerned about math teaching. When parents see what children are bringing home under the new curriculum, it is clear that their children are not working on the same mathematics that parents remember from the time when they were in school. But, the problem goes beyond grades K-12. Post-secondary mathematics courses are the fear of many students.
The standards created by the NCTM do not necessarily prepare students for success, either on SATs or in college. Besides lack of knowledge about mathematics education, many parents have an additional problem in that they feel they lack knowledge in mathematics itself. This is very intimidating; thus it is difficult for parents to do anything about the confusing state of mathematics education. This book provides some answers.
Summary: An intriguing survey of the many issues and theories involved in math teaching
Rating: 5
Parents and teachers interested in the cross-country debate about how to teach basic math won’t want to miss the debate coverage in Math Wars: A Guide For Parents And Teachers. Here the heated issues between the NCTM curricula and traditional original curricula are discussed with an eye to understanding how kids learn math, what the differences are in what they are bringing home from the new curriculum, and why the standards created by the NCTM don’t help prepare students for college. An intriguing survey of the many issues and theories involved in math teaching.

Animal Subjects: An Ethical Reader in a Posthuman World (Environmental Humanities) By Jodey Castricano
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier University Press | ISBN: 0889205124 | edition 2008 | PDF | 324 pages | 2 mb
Although Cultural Studies has directed sustained attacks against sexism and racism, the question of the animal has lagged behind developments in broader society with regard to animal suffering in factory farming, product testing, and laboratory experimentation, as well in zoos, rodeos, circuses, and public aquariums.
The contributors to Animal Subjects are scholars and writers from diverse perspectives whose work calls into question the boundaries that divide the animal kingdom from humanity, focusing on the medical, biological, cultural, philosophical, and ethical concerns between non-human animals and ourselves. The first of its kind to feature the work of Canadian scholars and writers in this emergent field, this collection aims to include the non-human-animal question as part of the ethical purview of Cultural Studies and to explore the question in interdisciplinary terms.

Radiation Technology for Polymers by Jiri George Drobny
Publisher: CRC Press | November 25, 2002 | ISBN: 1587161087 | Pages: 224 | PDF | 5.40 MB
The industrial use of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) radiation is growing rapidly and now penetrates an ever-widening range of applications, including electronics, printing, packaging. Resources and references for seasoned professionals abound, but few effectively introduce the field to newcomers or provide fast access to specifics on UV and EB effects on particular materials. This book does both.Radiation Technology for Polymers systematically presents the practical aspects of using UV and EB radiation to treat polymeric materials.
Drawing on more than 30 years of engineering experience in polymer processing, the author describes the production and properties of UV and EB energy, explores processes associated with both types of radiation, and provides a detailed overview of their applications. He concludes with a look at recent developments and emerging trends in equipment, chemistry, and technologies.Whether you are an engineer or scientist new to radiation technology or a product or process designer researching the effects of radiation on a specific material, Radiation Technology for Polymers is the place begin your search for information. It offers a complete overview of the technology and provides valuable direction to sources of more specific, detailed data.

Le Commerce des promesses : Petit traité sur la finance moderne
Seuil | 2001-01-01 | ISBN: 2020381109 | 370 pages | PDF | 5 MB
L’économiste Pierre-Noël Giraud a voulu, dans cet ouvrage, “faire progresser la réflexion des économistes dont la finance est souvent absente des analyses”. Pour cela, il montre en quoi celle-ci repose essentiellement sur des paris, des croyances et des “promesses”, à savoir des composantes humaines incertaines et non pas des échanges de biens objectifs qu’il serait possible de prévoir. Pierre-Noël Giraud, qui ne se cache pas de ne pas apprécier les auditeurs financiers, fustige donc ceux qui prétendraient savoir ce que l’avenir réserve aux marchés.
Hors de son aspect polémique, ce livre, lauréat du Grand Prix du livre de management et de stratégie 2001 vulgarise très bien la finance ; c’est pourquoi il a été primé. L’impact du secteur de la finance est en effet de nos jours un aspect que les chefs d’entreprise et les cadres dirigeants ne peuvent négliger. Mais, souvent difficile à comprendre, cette dimension de l’économie nécessitait une mise au clair que l’auteur, très pédagogue, de cet ouvrage a réussi au mieux. –Mona Moalic
L’Entreprise
Pour sa huitième édition, le Grand Prix 2001 du livre de management et de stratégie, organisé par L’Expansion Management Review, en partenariat avec McKinsey, vient de distinguer l’ouvrage de Pierre-Noël Giraud, Le Commerce des promesses, petit traité sur la finance moderne (Editions du Seuil). Par ailleurs, une mention spéciale Management a été décernée à Eric Albert et Daniel Nguyen Nhon pour N’obéissez plus (Editions d’Organisation).

International Handbook of Catholic Education: Challenges for School Systems in the 21st Century
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 912 | 2007-12-06 | ISBN 1402048041 | PDF | 3 MB
Knowledge of Catholic educational scholarship and research has been largely confined to specific national settings. Now is the time to bring together this scholarship in an international Handbook reflecting the fact that the Catholic Church is an international organisation and that its various educational systems can learn from each other.
The unifying theme of the Handbook will be Catholic Education: challenges and responses in a number of international settings. The analytical focus will be problem orientated in examining church-state relations, the consequences of globalisation, the impact of secularisation, the extent of Vatican II transformations of educational policy and practice, issues of school leadership and governance and other contemporary challenges. At the same time an examination will be undertaken of the various responses which are being made to these challenges. The two volumes will be organized by geography.

Amyloid Precursor Protein: A Practical Approach by Weiming Xia and Huaxi Xu
Publisher: CRC Press | December 16, 2004 | ISBN: 0849322456 | Pages: 240 | PDF | 11 MB
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an extensively studied transmembrane protein, and its derivative, amyloid b-protein, has been implicated as the primary cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Thousands of reports have been published on APP, and interest continues to grow in the research community. In the search for an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, APP is a unique model protein that illustrates the wide array of basic and sophisticated techniques available for characterization.
Amyloid Precursor Protein: A Practical Approach presents a variety of biological techniques utilized in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry to elucidate the structure and function of this transmembrane protein. Each technique is presented with detailed, step-by-step protocols to achieve reproducible results and provide a framework for studying other membrane proteins. These protocols also form the core of the authors’ approaches to elucidating the function of APP. This timely book contrasts basic and advanced methods to explain how the development of biological techniques affects the way molecular targets are examined. Practical in scope, it provides useful lists of protocols and routinely used antibodies for easy reference and paints a complete picture of the current understanding of APP as well as direction for future research.

In this book, John Casti takes an academic’s eye toward 5 interesting areas of mathematics. Unfortunately, his treatment of the material reminds me of sitting in all too many classrooms in graduate school, with a professor rambling and scribbling on the board without ever bothering to indicate why it even mattered.
Like all too many of my professors, he leaves the truly interesting material (the impact) to the reader’s imagination.

Solid/Liquid Separation Lexicon
Publisher: Wiley | Pages: 141 | 2002-01-28 | ISBN 352730522X | PDF | 6 MB
Solid/Liquid Separation (SLS) is a cross-sectional unit operation which is ubiquitous in all sectors of the process industry as well as in environmental protection. Hence process engineers and experts of different fields are frequently confronted with specific Solid/Liquid-Separation terms and definitions they do not use for their daily business. Very often they require a reference book with explanations and interpretations that are readily understandable.
To fulfil this need, BOKELA has assembled a team of authors consisting of academic and industrial experts to compile the ‘Solid/Liquid Separation Lexicon’. This work gives a comprehensive survey of the definitions, terminology and concepts introduced by the Karlsruhe (Germany) School for Solid/Liquid-Separation Science. These terms are widely used as a standard and are now largely accepted in the scientific community. Credits to original uploader DOWNLOAD

Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polymers: Thin-film Poly Chara Blends by Tai-Shung Chung
Publisher: CRC Press | March 1, 2001 | ISBN: 1566769434 | Pages: 378 | PDF | 5.43 MB
Liquid crystal polymers are sometimes called super polymers–with good reason. Their wide range of exceptional properties and ease of processing make them design candidates for many demanding applications. This new book provides a thorough review of LCP technology with the emphasis on the chemistry, synthesis and characterization of the material in its many variants. Additional chapters cover processing and applications.
From the Editor’s PrefaceThe field of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers has grown substantially in the last two decades, with fundamental research, publications, commercial products, and patents. In the 1980’s, Dr. Ralph Miano led my colleagues and me at Hoechst Celanese in commercializing the first thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, based on Dr. Gordon Calundann’s composition patents. Today, more than seven companies have produced thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer materials, with at least 50 variants available. Hence, it is timely to compile a comprehensive review on the nature of this type of material and the ongoing progress in this field…. The goals of this book are to summarize previous work, provide new insights into this class of polymers, and add to the understanding of the formation of liquid crystallinity. This book covers a wide range of topics and addresses different disciplines in the field. The chapters are arranged as a learning scheme for the professional, from basic science to applied engineering. The first few chapters summarize the syntheses of various polyester, polyester-amid, and polyimide liquid crystalline polymers. The science and origins of liquid crystal formation are revealed. Next, we introduce the characterizations of these materials by their different chemical and physical aspects.Because most commercially available thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers have been used in the form of composites, we have also incorporated a chapter on polymer blends, detailing blending mechanisms and resultant properties. Two chapters on thermosetting liquid crystalline polymers integrate them with other topics, because of their unique importance and their applications for microelectronics and packaging. The final chapter deals with the engineering and processing aspects of thermoplastic liquid crystalline polymers for a variety of applications.

William Harding Carter And the American Army: A Soldier’s Story (Campaigns and Commanders) by Ronald Glenn Machoian
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press | Number Of Pages: 388 | Publication Date: 2006-05-02 | ISBN-10: 0806137460 | PDF | 2 Mb
In this first full-length biography of William Harding Carter, Ronald G. Machoian explores Carter’s pivotal role in bringing the American military into a new era and transforming a legion of citizen-soldiers into the modern professional force we know today.
Machoian follows Carter’s career from his boyhood in Civil War Nashville, where he volunteered to carry Union dispatches, through his involvement in bitter campaigns against Apaches in the Southwest, to his participation in the Indian Wars’ tragic final chapter at Wounded Knee in 1890.
Since his death in 1925, Carter’s important contributions toward modernizing the U.S. Army have been overlooked. Machoian redresses this oversight by highlighting Carter’s contributions to the U.S. military’s growth as a professional institution and the nation’s transition to the twentieth century.

The dream that summer night in 1988 was strange, even disturbing. In this dream, Bell Rock, an amazing Sedona natural landmark, was moving. And it was moving under its own propulsion.
Somehow, I knew that I would not be harmed, but that it was necessary that I recognize that this beautiful rock formation was not only capable of movement, but that it had the same powers of intellect as did I. Did everything in this reality have these same sentient abilities?

First Principles by Don Foy
Publisher: Algora Publishing (December 15, 2003) | ISBN-10: 0875862586 | PDF | 1,7 Mb | 172 pages
First Principles examines the flaws and broken promises of modernism, and hopes for renewal in traditionalism. The central spiritual conflict of our time is the struggle between modernism and traditionalism, and the debate over which should be our guide. Many modern conflicts appear intractable because they are hotspots in a larger cold war between entirely different frames of reference.
Only by unearthing and examining the divergent frames can we begin to se e which will work better for us. “Thy will be done” versus “My will be done”: according to First Principles, modernism and traditionalism differ principally in where they locate the source of values.

Arterial Chemoreceptors (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, Volume 648) By Constancio Gonzalez, Colin A. Nurse, Chris Peers
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 9048122589 | edition 2009 | PDF | 462 pages | 15,5 mb
The carotid body arterial chemoreceptors constitute unique sensory receptors capable of rapidly monitoring the levels of arterial blood oxygen and carbon dioxide. Whenever necessary they initiate homeostatic reflexes aimed to correct the detected deviations. Chemoreceptor cells of the carotid body constitute ideal models to study the entire processes of O2-sensing as well asCO2-sensing.
The present book represents an updated review of the physiology of the carotid body chemoreceptors.
Most important, the book provides the trends in the field as it contains results in the topics that are at the frontiers of future developments in O2-sensing in chemoreceptor cells. Additionally, it contains data form studies carried in other O2-sensing tissues including pulmonary vasculature and erythropoietin producing cells as well as on central CO2/pH chemoreceptors.
Arterial Chemoreceptors should be considered as a prime source of information and as a guideline to every researcher in the field of arterial chemoreception in the years to come. It is also an important source of information for researchers and clinicians in the fields of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary hypertension as well as for researchers in the field of erythropoietin and central chemoreceptors.

Complex enzymes in microbial natural product biosynthesis, Part B: polyketides, aminocoumarins and carbohydrates
Publisher: Academic Press | Language: English | ISBN:0123745918 | 350 pages | Data: 2009 | PDF | 11 Mb
Description: Microbial natural products have been an important traditional source of valuable antibiotics and other drugs but interest in them waned in the 1990s when big pharma decided that their discovery was no longer cost-effective and concentrated instead on synthetic chemistry as a source of novel compounds, often with disappointing results. Moreover understanding the biosynthesis of complex natural products was frustratingly difficult.
With the development of molecular genetic methods to isolate and manipulate the complex microbial enzymes that make natural products, unexpected chemistry has been revealed and interest in the compounds has again flowered. This two-volume treatment of the subject will showcase the most important chemical classes of complex natural products: the peptides, made by the assembly of short chains of amino acid subunits, and the polyketides, assembled from the joining of small carboxylic acids such as acetate and malonate. In both classes, variation in sub-unit structure, number and chemical modification leads to an almost infinite variety of final structures, accounting for the huge importance of the compounds in nature and medicine.
* Gathers tried and tested methods and techniques from top players in the field.
* Provides an extremely useful reference for the experienced research scientist.
* Covers biosynthesis of Polyketides, Tarpenoids, Aminocoumarins and Crabohydrates

Protecting Home: Class, Race, And Masculinity In Boys’ Baseball
Rutgers University Press | 2005-05-25 | ISBN: 0813535557 | 247 pages | PDF | 6 MB
“The best traditions of community and urban sociology come alive in this fantastic work of participant observation. Sherri Grasmuck shows us the people, narrates their lives, and links them to as sophisticated a take on race and class to be found in any contemporary urban ethnography. She is a beautiful writer with that rarest of gifts—a sober critical voice, an unrelenting systematicity, the wisdom of personal experience, and a sense of humor that comes together in a deep act of interpretation and explanation.
Janet Goldwater’s fantastic photographs merge with the text to produce a documentary account of how we live today in multicultural America, one that takes its place among the finest firsthand studies.”—Mitchell Duneier, Princeton University, author of Sidewalk and Slim’s Table

Facility Siting: Risk, Power and Identity in Land Use Planning (The Earthscan Risk in Society Series) By Åsa Boholm
Publisher: Earthscan Publications Ltd. | ISBN: 1844071464 | edition 2005 | PDF | 256 pages | 3,7 mb
Examines the social, political and environmental issues at stake and the acute conflicts over the siting of industrial facilities and infrastructure
Essential reading for all involved in land use planning and facility siting at all levels and in all situations
New in the Risk, Society and Policy Series
From dams to landfill sites and power plants to radioactive waste repositories, the siting of facilities is a veritable minefield of conflicting data, politics, perception and controversy for industry, planners and authorities and citizens.
This penetrating new edited collection examines risk, power and identity in contests over the siting of infrastructure and industrial facilities. Going beyond nimby-ism, experts in a variety of fields bring a multi-perspective analysis to case studies from the UK, US and Europe and expose the political and cultural dimensions of siting conflicts. In the process they show how place attachment and notions of landscape and local identity play a prominent role in resistance to ‘development’.

Michael Green - Tiger Tanks
Motorbooks International (MBI) | 1995 | ISBN: 0879389540 | 128 pages | PDF | 54.45 MB
More than any other tank of WWII, the German Tiger tank instilled fear in the hearts of Allied soldiers when it entered a battlefield. With almost inpenetrable armor and a highly accurate 88mm main gun, they earned the respect they were rightly given. With a combat weight of over sixty tons, these tanks were among the most massive in the war, easily able to destroy any Allied tanks they encountered.
This book will take an inside look at the brute force design of the TigerI tank, built with the largest pieces of plate armor that could be made. Learn first-hand how this formidable weapon was used in battle from the German soldiers that fought in them and the Allied soldiers that fought against them. Then climb on board the TigerII, the best-armed and best-protected tank Of the WWII. See what it is like to ride into battle with a German crew and hunt the Allied tanks such as the American Shermans and Soviet T-34s.

Eric Haney “Inside Delta Force: The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit”
Delta | English | 2005-08-30 | ISBN: 0385339364 | 352 pages | PDF | 1 MB
Now the inspiration for the CBS Television drama, “The Unit.”
Delta Force. They are the U.S. Army’s most elite top-secret strike force. They dominate the modern battlefield, but you won’t hear about their heroics on CNN. No headlines can reveal their top-secret missions, and no book has ever taken readers inside—until now. Here, a founding member of Delta Force takes us behind the veil of secrecy and into the action-to reveal the never-before-told story of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force).
Inside Delta Forece
The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit
He is a master of espionage, trained to take on hijackers, terrorists, hostage takers, and enemy armies. He can deploy by parachute or arrive by commercial aircraft. Survive alone in hostile cities. Speak foreign languages fluently. Strike at enemy targets with stunning swiftness and extraordinary teamwork. He is the ultimate modern warrior: the Delta Force Operator.
In this dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney, one of the founding members of Delta Force, takes us inside this legendary counterterrorist unit. Here, for the first time, are details of the grueling selection process—designed to break the strongest of men—that singles out the best of the best: the Delta Force Operator.
With heart-stopping immediacy, Haney tells what it’s really like to enter a hostage-held airplane. And from his days in Beirut, Haney tells an unforgettable tale of bodyguards and bombs, of a day-to-day life of madness and beauty, and of how he and a teammate are called on to kill two gunmen targeting U.S. Marines at the Beirut airport. As part of the team sent to rescue American hostages in Tehran, Haney offers a first-person description of that failed mission that is a chilling, compelling account of a bold maneuver undone by chance—and a few fatal mistakes.
From fighting guerrilla warfare in Honduras to rescuing missionaries in Sudan and leading the way onto the island of Grenada, Eric Haney captures the daring and discipline that distinguish the men of Delta Force. Inside Delta Force brings honor to these singular men while it puts us in the middle of action that is sudden, frightening, and nonstop around the world.

Marc Mezard, Andrea Montanari “Information, Physics, and Computation”
Oxford University Press | English | 2009-03-27 | ISBN: 019857083X | 560 pages | PDF | 11,3 MB
This book presents a unified approach to a rich and rapidly evolving research domain at the interface between statistical physics, theoretical computer science/discrete mathematics, and coding/information theory. It is accessible to graduate students and researchers without a specific training in any of these fields. The selected topics include spin glasses, error correcting codes, satisfiability, and are central to each field.
The approach focuses on large random instances, adopting a common probabilistic formulation in terms of graphical models. It presents message passing algorithms like belief propagation and survey propagation, and their use in decoding and constraint satisfaction solving. It also explains analysis techniques like density evolution and the cavity method, and uses them to study phase transitions.
This book is structured in five large parts, focusing on topics of increasing complexity. Each part typically contains three chapters that present some core topics in each of the disciplines of information theory, statistical physics, and combinatorial optimization. The topics in each part have a common mathematical structure, which is developed in additional chapters serving as bridges.
Part I (Chapters 1-4) contains introductory chapters to each of the three disciplines and some common probabilistic tools.
Part II (Chapters 5-8) deals with problems in which independence plays an important role: the random energy model, the random code ensemble, and number partitioning. Thanks to the independence of random variables, classical techniques can be applied successfully to these problems. The part ends with a description of the replica method.
Part III (Chapters 9-13) describes ensembles of problems on graphs: satisfiability, low-density parity-check codes, and spin glasses. Factor graphs and statistical inference provide a common language.
Part IV (Chapters 14-17) explains belief propagation and the related ‘replica-symmetric’ cavity method. These can be thought of as approaches to studying systems of correlated random variables on large graphs, when the correlations decay fast enough with distance. The part shows the success of this approach with three problems: decoding, assignment, and ferromagnets.
Part V (Chapters 18-22) is dedicated to an important consequence of long-range correlations, namely the proliferation of pure states and ‘replica symmetry breaking’. It starts with the simpler problem of random linear equations with Boolean variables, and then develops the general approach and applies it to satisfiability and coding. The final chapter reviews some open problems.
• Landmark book in a new field
• Defines a common set of concepts and common language for three disciplines which used to work independently
• Self-contained, precise. Numerous examples and exercises make it a valuable teaching book
• Builds a bridge between physics of glasses and computer science problems
• Unique place to learn about the cavity method and its connections to message passing algorithms

Le vocabulaire de Paul Ricoeur
Ellipses Marketing (22 mars 2007) | ISBN: 2729832475 | 94 pages | PDF | 3 MB
La collection ” Le vocabulaire de… ” présente les principaux termes dans lesquels s’exprime chaque philosophe, selon un ordre alphabétique, en parlant du principe qu’un philosophe n’est intelligible que dans sa langue, dans son vocabulaire propre ou dans le vocabulaire commun qu’il s’approprie.
L’ approche de chaque notion comporte trois niveaux qui sont signalés dans le texte par des pictogrammes : la définition de base, accessible à un étudiant débutant ; l’approche scientifique, s’adressant à l’étudiant confirmé, et ce jusqu’à l’Agrégation ; et enfin, une approche plus libre, permettant une interprétation plus large, comme par exemple la résonance de la notion au sein du système. Chacun des volumes de la collection ” Le vocabulaire de… ” devrait constituer une voie d’accès privilégiée à la lecture et à l’intelligence d’un système philosophique.
Rarement auteur s’est autant appuyé sur la langue telle qu’elle est. Ricoeur ne s est pas créé une langue propre, mais il a observé et discerné des usages déjà là, qu’il a soigneusement cherché à mettre en ordre. Ces trésors du langage ordinaire font pour lui partie de notre compréhensions des questions, et plutôt que croire pouvoir en faire table rase en commençant par des définitions pures, il vaut toujours mieux partir de ces sources non-philosophiques de la philosophie. Comme il dit, nous survenons au beau milieu d’une conversation qui est déjà commencée et dans laquelle nous essayons de nous orienter afin de pouvoir à notre tour y apporter notre contribution Cependant, en creusant certaines apories, en approfondissant certains paradoxes, il arrive qu’il opère des retournements ou des déplacements de significations, qui rapprochent des concepts étonnés, au point d’en en faire des métaphores vires “.

The Handbook of Neuropsychiatric Biomarkers, Endophenotypes and Genes: Volume IV: Molecular Genetic and Genomic Markers
Publisher: Springer | Language: English | ISBN:904812297X | 232 pages | Data: 2009 | PDF | 9 Mb
Description: Neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, alcoholism, substance abuse and others are one of the most debilitating illnesses worldwide characterizing by the complexity of the causes, and lacking the laboratory tests that may promote diagnostic and prognostic procedures.
Recent advances in neuroscience, genomic, genetic, proteomic and metabolomic knowledge and technologies have opened the way to searching biomarkers and endophenotypes, which may offer powerful and exciting opportunity to understand the etiology and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders. The challenge now is to translate these advances into meaningful diagnostic and therapeutic advances. This book offers a broad synthesis of the current knowledge about diverse topics of the biomarker and endophenotype strategies in neuropsychiatry. The book is organized into four interconnected volumes: “Neuropsychological Endophenotypes and Biomarkers” (with overview of methodological issues of the biomarker and endophenotype approaches in neuropsychiatry and some technological advances), “Neuroanatomical and Neuroimaging Endophenotypes and Biomarkers”, “Metabolic and Peripheral Biomarkers” and “Molecular Genetic and Genomic Markers”.

Governing New York State
State University of New York Press | 2006-02-02 | ISBN: 0791466914 | 434 pages | PDF | 3 MB
New York State, because of its great diversity, has more extensive social and political conflict than most states. Governing New York State: Fifth Edition provides expert assessment of how these conflicts are organized and represented, and how the political process and political institutions work to seek to resolve them.
This newly updated fifth edition contains significantly revised material and covers more topics than the prior edition.
The contributors examine conflicts between New York City and the rest of the state, and between federal, state, and local governments. The role of major political parties in organizing and representing broad coalitions of different groups is reviewed, along with the role of third parties, interest groups, and the media. Political institutions that shape the political process—the governor, the legislature, the courts, and the public authorities—are discussed, along with how these institutions affect the representation of responsiveness of various groups. Finally, Governing New York State investigates the major policy areas of the state: the economy, taxes, local education, higher education, health care, welfare, transportation, and the environment.
“This book provides the reader with informed perspectives on New York State government and politics. It will be useful to students as well as the citizens of New York and beyond.” - Peter J. Galie, author of Ordered Liberty: A Constitutional History of New York
Contributors include Elizabeth Benjamin, Gerald Benjamin, Thomas A. Birkland, Donald J. Boyd, Thomas W. Church, Keith M. Henderson, Rogan T. Kersh, Jeffrey Kraus, Sarah F. Liebschutz, Stephanie Lundquist, Sean Madden, Jeffrey Mapes, Brian J. Nickerson, Robert F. Pecorella, Kathryn A. Roe, Robert J. Spitzer, Henry Steck, Amanda Stein, Jeffrey M.

The Dynamics of Social Welfare Policy
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0195311701 | edition 2007 | PDF | 528 pages | 4,86 mb
The first edition of The Dynamics of Social Welfare Policy reinvented the standard social welfare policy text to speak to students in a vital new way. This second edition builds on its strengths, with a more accessible graphic design and a thorough update of the effects of recent political and legislative changes on social welfare programs. The book begins by discussing how social problems are constructed.
After an analysis of social welfare policy, its purposes, and functions, a unique policy model bolsters the text’s overarching progressive narrative. Through this model, students learn how five key social forces-ideology, politics, history, economics, and social movements-interact both to create and to change the social welfare system. By applying this model to five critical social welfare policy issues-income security, employment, housing, health, and food-the text demonstrates to students that every kind of social work practice embodies a social welfare policy. The model is also telling in identifying the triggers of social change and the effects of race, class, and gender. By applying the policy model to the latest developments in social welfare, the chapter-long case studies in this second edition equip students with knowledge about social welfare policy and the tools for comparative analysis. With this knowledge, students begin to understand that both the whole and the parts of the social welfare system affect what they actually do as social workers. Once they grasp this concept, they’ll understand why it is so important to learn social welfare policy. The Dynamics of Social Welfare Policy 2E captures the fluidity and change inherent in social policy like no other textbook. Its approach remains the most invigorating, forward-thinking one available. Highlights from this edition include: * Revised data in text, charts, and graphs show how government policies are proving the points made throughout the chapters *Exhaustive statistics are included about every major social program’s budget, benefits, and participants *Underlying policy model has been updated in response to the evolving political environment *Content and writing style are appropriate to both bachelor’s- and master’s-level programs *More graphics and attractive new two-color interior design make debates easier to grasp and the book easier to navigate Visit www.oup.com/us/dynamics for access to the instructor’s manual and test bank.

Time and the Shape of History
Publisher: Yale University Press | ISBN: 030011558X | edition 2007 | PDF | 330 pages | 1,42 mb
This ambitious book explores the relationship between time and history and shows how an appreciation of long-term time helps to make sense of the past. The book is devoted to a wide-ranging analysis of the way different societies have conceived and interpreted time, and it develops a theory of the threefold roles of continuity, gradual change, and revolution which together form a “braided” history.
Linking the interpretative chapters are intriguing brief expositions on time travel, time cycles, time lines, and time pieces, showing the different ways in which human history has been located in time.

Man in the Middle Voice: Name and Narration in the Odyssey (Martin Classical Lectures, New Series) by John Peradotto
Publisher: Princeton Univ Pr | Number Of Pages: 207 | Publication Date: 1990-11 | ISBN-10: 0691068305 | PDF | 13 Mb
Beginning with a diagnosis of the current state of American classical philology, John Peradotto proceeds to concentrate on textual practices of naming and narrating in the Odyssey from a perspective that blends traditional philological with semiotic and narratological techniques.
What emerges from this reading is a view of the poem as a tense opposition between “myth” and “folktale,” recognized as vehicles for contrasting ideological opinions on the world. With terms drawn from Bakhtin’s concept of “dialogism,” the Odyssey’s two voices are characterized as “centripetal” and “centrifugal”–the one associated with dominant political power, with the conventional, the official, and the heroic; the other, with the personal, the disempowered, and the popular, with the antics of the Autolycan trickster and outlaw. As he examines the more audible, “centrifugal” voice, Peradotto shows how the poet’s sense of power over his material, represented in Odysseus’ ability to narrate a fictitious world, creates a “character” of infinite varietyone whose self- chosen anonymity becomes a paradigm for a subtler ideology of the self than that embodied in the Iliadic Achilles.

An Accidental Journalist: The Adventures of Edmund Stevens, 1934-1945
Publisher: University of Missouri Press | ISBN: 0826217702 | edition 2007 | PDF | 296 pages | 1,49 mb
Idealistic American Edmund Stevens arrived in Moscow in 1934 to do his part for the advancement of international Communism. His job writing propaganda led to an accidental career in journalism and an eventual Pulitzer Prize in 1950 for his uncensored descriptions of Stalin s purges. The longest-serving American-born correspondent working from within the Soviet Union, Stevens began his journalism career reporting on the Russo-Finnish War in 1939 and was the Christian Science Monitor s first man in the field to cover fighting in World War II.
He reported on the Italian invasion of Greece, participated in Churchill s Moscow meeting with Stalin as a staff translator, and distinguished himself as a correspondent with the British army in North Africa. Drawing on Stevens s memoirs as well as his articles and correspondence, Heckler sheds new light on both the public and the private Stevens, portraying a reporter adapting to new roles and circumstances with a skill that journalists today could well emulate.

The Psychopath: Emotion and the Brain
Wiley-Blackwell | 2005-09-30 | ISBN: 0631233350 | 216 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Psychopathy is a disorder embedded in mystique, controversy and fantasy. Consistently portrayed in the media and popular culture as unusual, inhumane and emotionless creatures, individuals with psychopathy are the bogeymen of today’s society, and the label psychopathy is used widely to describe a broad range of notorieties from political figures to serial killers.
This timely new book separates fact from fiction. It presents the scientific facts of psychopathy and antisocial behavior, addressing critical issues such as the definition of psychopathy, the number of psychopathic individuals in society, whether they can be treated, and whether psychopathy is down to nature or nurture.
More controversially, the authors present their ground-breaking research into whether an underlying abnormality in brain development, reducing emotional learning, is at the heart of the disorder. The resulting theory could lead to early diagnosis and revolutionize the way society, the media, and the state both view and contend with the psychopaths in our midst.

Dr. Alexander Elder, “Entries & Exits: Visits to 16 Trading Rooms”
Wiley | 2006 | ISBN: 0471678058 | 341 pages | PDF | 48,5 MB
Come behind closed doors and see real trades made by real traders. Dr. Alexander Elder leads you into 16 trading rooms where you meet traders who open up their diaries and show you their trades. Some of them manage money, others trade for themselves; some trade for a living, others are on the semi-professional level. All are totally serious and honest in sharing their trades with those who would like to learn.
You will meet American and international traders who trade stocks, futures, and options using a variety of methods. All are normally very private, but now, thanks to their relationships with Dr. Elder, you can see exactly how these traders decide to enter and exit trades. Each chapter illustrates an entry and an exit for two trades, with comments by Dr. Elder. With this book as your guide, you can get closer to mastering the key themes of trading—psychology, tactics, risk control, record keeping, and the decision-making process.
The companion Study Guide is filled with striking insights and practical advice allowing you to test your knowledge and reinforce the principles outlined in Entries & Exits.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2000 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0521594553 | PDF | 1.9 MB
This book shows just how much can be discovered about the so-called “Dark Ages,” between the fall of Rome and the high Middle Ages.
Whereas it is believed widely that the source materials for early medieval Europe are too sparse to allow sustained study of social and political relationships, State and Society in the Early Middle Ages offers a detailed analysis of the workings of society at the heart of Charlemagne’s empire, and suggests the need to rethink our understanding of political power in this period.

Pro Apache, Third Edition (Expert’s Voice)
Apress | 2004-01-19 | ISBN: 1590593006 | 904 pages | PDF | 3 MB
“…a behemoth of a resource for everything you ever wanted to know about Apache.” — Doug Schasteen, me ofKansas City’s PHP User Group
“This is by far the best ‘know all, end all’ reference, bar none. My hat goes off to Peter Wainwright and Apress for opening up a whole new world to me.” — Eric Wolf (a.k.a. “nawlej”), Codewalkers.com This book aims to teach you everything you need to know to build, install, and configure every aspect of Apache, the world’s most popular Web server.
Two versions of Apache are now available. Apache 1.3 is still widely used and is continuously updated. Apache 2 offers new and powerful features, such as multi-processsing modules and filters, as well as a revised and expanded build system for compiling Apache from source. This book comprehensively covers both server versions, presenting up-to-date information and examples, and highlighting variations bettween the two releases in context. In addition, this book is organized to provide solutions to common problems. It answers the questions that administrators like you typically ask, without requiring that you know the name of a specific Apache module or directive beforehand. This book also demonstrates multiple solutions to a problem, and contrasts the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. After reading Pro Apache, you’ll know not only how to get the results you want, but also why a solution works the way it does. Finally, this book examines how to accomplish more advanced configurations, where individual features must cooperate with each other intelligently. Now in its third edition, the expertise found in Pro Apache makes it the definitive guide to harnessing the power of Apache safely and securely.

Interface Science in Drinking Water Treatment
Volume 10: Theory and Applications (Interface Science and Technology)
by Gayle Newcombe and David Dixon
Publisher: Academic Press | December 23, 2006 | ISBN: 0120883805 | Pages: 376 | PDF | 26.47 MB
It is difficult to imagine anything more important to the human population than safe drinking water. Lack of clean drinking water is still the major cause of illness and death in young children in developing countries. In more fortunate communities, where water treatment is practiced, the primary aim of water authorities is to provide water that is free from pathogens and toxins.
Most countries now have water quality regulations, or guidelines, which are driving water authorities to produce purer water, with the minimum of contamination from natural or man-made origin. At the same time, consumers are demanding that chemicals added during the treatment of drinking water be kept to a minimum. As a consequence, conventional clarification methods are being challenged to comply with the new regulations and restrictions and our understanding of the mechanisms involved is being tested as never before.

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Religion
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0195331354 | edition 2007 | PDF | 451 pages | 1,44 mb
The philosophy of religion as a distinct discipline is an innovation of the last two hundred years, but its central topics–the existence and nature of the divine, humankind’s relation to it, the nature of religion and its place in human life–have been with us since the inception of philosophy. Philosophers have long critically examined the truth of (and rational justification for) religious claims, and have explored such philosophically interesting phenomena as faith, religious experience and the distinctive features of religious discourse.
The second half of the twentieth-century has been an especially fruitful period, with philosophers using new developments in logic and epistemology to mount both sophisticated defenses of, and attacks on, religious claims. The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Religion contains newly commissioned chapters by 21 prominent experts who cover the field in a comprehensive but accessible manner. Each chapter is expository, critical, and representative of a distinctive viewpoint.

P. Zanello, “Inorganic Electrochemistry: Theory, Practice, and Application”
Royal Society of Chemistry | 2003 | ISBN: 0854046615 | 606 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Electrochemistry can be an elegant and essential support to synthetic inorganic chemistry. However, it is often perceived as a difficult technique. This book aims to introduce inorganic chemists to electrochemical investigations in as straightforward a way as possible.
First, the reader is introduced to the theory of electron transfer processes, how they can be studied by various electrochemical techniques, and the practical procedures required. The book then goes on to look extensively, and with numerous illustrations, at the application of the techniques in the multiple fields of inorganic chemistry (including organometallics, coordination compounds, bioinorganics/biomimetics and materials science). Topics covered include: metallocenes; organometallic and coordination complexes; metal complexes of redox active ligands; metal-carbonyl clusters; superconductors; and proteins. Throughout, special attention is paid to the structural effects accompanying the electron transfer processes.
This unique book bridges the gap between undergraduate and research-level electrochemistry books, and will be welcomed as an introduction to electrochemical applications within inorganic chemistry.

The Birth of Physics (Philosophy of science)
Clinamen Press Ltd | 2001-01-28 | ISBN: 1903083036 | 256 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The Birth of Physics focuses on the largest text still intact to reach us from the Ancient Greek Atomists - Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura - but mobilises everything we know about the related scientific work of the time (Archemides, Epicurus et al) in order to demand a complete reappraisal of the legacy.
Serres argues that the Greeks had all the mathematical resources to formulate an adequate picture of the physical principles acting on matter. Crucial to his reconception of the Atomists’ thought is a recognition that their model of atomic matter is essentially a fluid one - they are describing the actions of turbulence. Recognition of this fact throws in relief the force of this ancient thought with respect to the recent disciplines of chaos and complexity. It explains the continuing presence of Lucretius in the work of such scientific giants as Nobel Laureates Schroedinger and Prigogine.

Hardening Windows, Second Edition by Jonathan Hassell
Publisher: Apress | Number Of Pages: 216 | Publication Date: 2005-10-26 | ISBN-10: 1590595394 | PDF | 4 Mb
Hardening is the process of protecting a system against unknown threats. System administrators harden against that which they think could be a threat. Administrators know the Internet is a hostile environment. Although they can’t tell, for example, that a hacker will attempt to gain access to the SQL server next Tuesday, they can bet money there’ll be an attempt soon and should “batten down the hatches” in anticipation.

Nuclear Energy: Principles, Practices, and Prospects by David Bodansky
Publisher: Springer | 2nd edition (April 21, 2008) | ISBN: 0387207783 | Pages: 693 | PDF | 5.97 MB
As energy resources, particularly fossil fuels, become strained, nuclear energy (despite its known shortcomings) must be considered as an alternative. This book presents an objective view of nuclear energy as an important source for future energy needs. It discusses various types of reactors, the nuclear fuel cycle, the problem of nuclear waste disposal, reactor accidents, safety and new types of reactors that are being considered, and the cost of electricity from nuclear power.
Additional themes include the problem of nuclear weapons, their storage, and, very important, their disposal as nuclear arsenals are pared down. This new edition has been brought up to date throughout, with new data, figures, and tables added. The chapter on costs of electricity has been shortened, simplified, and revised to make reference to the changes caused by the electricity deregulation. A motivating introductory chapter, and a new chapter on nuclear waste disposal at Yucca Mountain have been added.

Wettability
360 pages | Gulf Publishing Company; illustrated edition edition (July 2008) | 1933762292 | PDF | 10 Mb
The wettability of oil reservoirs is the most important factor controlling the rate of oil recovery, providing a profound effect on petroleum production. The oil industry has increased the research effort on wettability but so far there has never been a comprehensive book on the topic.
This book covers all the essential facets. Critical topics include core preservation, effect of wettability on relative permeability, surface forces, oil traps and pore size effect. Deciphering the techniques and examples will increase the efficiency and production of oil recovery, translating to stronger reservoir simulations and improved well production.

J.A. Green, K. Erdmann, M. Schocker, “Polynomial Representations of GL_n: with an Appendix on Schensted Correspondence and Littelmann Paths ”
Springer | 2007 | ISBN: 3540469443 | 166 pages | PDF | 4,8 MB
The first half of this book contains the text of the first edition of LNM volume 830, Polynomial Representations of GLn. This classic account of matrix representations, the Schur algebra, the modular representations of GLn, and connections with symmetric groups, has been the basis of much research in representation theory.
The second half is an Appendix, and can be read independently of the first. It is an account of the Littelmann path model for the case gln. In this case, Littelmann’s ‘paths’ become ‘words’, and so the Appendix works with the combinatorics on words. This leads to the representation theory of the ‘Littelmann algebra’, which is a close analogue of the Schur algebra. The treatment is self-contained; in particular complete proofs are given of classical theorems of Schensted and Knuth.

The Constitutionalism of American States
808 pages | University of Missouri Press (January 1, 2008) | 0826217648 | PDF | 2 Mb
Each chapter in this comparative study reflects the
constitutional history and theory of a single state. The colonial aspect of the New England and Mid-Atlantic states history laid the foundation for national constitution-making. While North and South moved in distinct directions, the Border states wrestled with conflicting constitutional traditions in the same way that they wrestled with their place in the Union.
The Midwest, united by the Northwest Ordinance, wrote constitutions defined by that act s parameters while reflecting each state s unique culture and politics. The Plains states developed a constitutionalism historically rooted in progressivism and populism. The Mountain West states created their individual constitutional identities in spite of the geography which defined them. Western states borrowed heavily from older constitutions, but their contributors borrowed differently and in different proportions in order to craft uniquely adapted constitutions.

Elsevier’s Dictionary of Psychological Theories
Publisher: Elsevier Science | ISBN: 0444517502 | edition 2006 | PDF | 692 pages | 4,7 mb
In attempting to understand and explain various behaviour, events, and phenomena in their field, psychologists have developed and enunciated an enormous number of best guesses or theories concerning the phenomenon in question. Such theories involve speculations and statements that range on a potency continuum from strong to weak. The term theory, itself, has been conceived of in various ways in the psychological literature.
In the present dictionary, the strategy of lumping together all the various traditional descriptive labels regarding psychologists best guesses under the single descriptive term theory has been adopted. The descriptive labels of principle, law, theory, model, paradigm, effect, hypothesis and doctrine are attached to many of the entries, and all such descriptive labels are subsumed under the umbrella term theory.
The title of this dictionary emphasizes the term theory (implying both strong and weak best guesses) and is a way of indication, overall, the contents of this comprehensive dictionary in a parsimonious and felicitous fashion.
The dictionary will contain approximately 2,000 terms covering the origination, development, and evolution of various psychological concepts, as well as the historical definition, analysis, and criticisms of psychological concepts. Terms and definitions are in English.

Operating Systems Design and Implementation (3rd Edition) (Prentice Hall Software Series) by Andrew S Tanenbaum, Albert S Woodhull
Publisher: Prentice Hall; 3 edition (January 4, 2006) | ISBN-10: 0131429388 | CHM | 6,4 Mb | 1080 pages
Most books on operating systems deal with theory while ignoring practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second Edition provides the MINIX source code.
The relevant selections of the MINIX code are described in detail. When it first came out, MINIX caused something of a revolution. Within weeks, it had its own newsgroup on USENET, with 40,000 people. Most wanted to make MINIX bigger and fancier. Instead, Linux was created. That has become quite popular, very large, and complicated. MINIX, on the other hand, has remained small and suitable for instruction and example. The book has been revised to include updates in MINIX, which started out as a v 7 unix clone for a floppy-disk only 8088. It is now aimed at 386, 486, and pentium machines and is based on the international posix standard instead of on v7. There are now also versions of MINIX for the Macintosh and SPARC available. Professional programmers will find this book to be a valuable resource and reference book.

Thomas Joos, “Windows Vista Business Kompendium: Installation, Netzwerke, Praxistipps”
Markt und Technik | 2007 | ISBN: 3827243122 | 932 pages | PDF | 36,1 MB
Rezension
Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um eine ausführliche Informationsquelle für Benutzer die Vista in Unternehmen einsetzen. Auch wer Vista zuhause nutzt wird von den vielen professionellen Tipps in diesen Buch profitieren. Mich als Admin haben die Ausführen zum Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK), die neuen Gruppenrichtlinien und die ausführlichen Anleitungen für Vista im Netzwerk ebenfalls sehr interessiert.
Das Buch kommt ohne viel blabla aus. Die ganzen Multimedia-Spielereien werden zwar erklärt, aber der Autor macht Gott sein dank keine Orgie daraus, sondern behandelt die Themen die wirklich interessant sind sehr ausführlich. Alleine die Sicherheitseinstellungen werden auf weit über 100 Seiten erläutert. Netzwerk und Internet sind hervorragend erklärt. Zusatztools werden ebenfalls besprochen. Für mich das derzeit einzige vernünftige Buch über Vista in Unternehmen. Im Buch werden auch die ganzen Ultimate-Funktionen erläutert,was mir sehr entgegenkommt, da ich selbst Ultimate auf der Workstation habe. Wer sich mit den Internas von Vista auseinandersetzen will und schon einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf Longhorn Server braucht, ist mit diesem Buch hervorragend bedient.

The Shifts in Hizbullah’s Ideology: Religious Ideology, Political Ideology, and Political Program (Amsterdam University Press - ISIM Dissertations)
Amsterdam University Press | 2006-02-15 | ISBN: 9053569103 | 380 pages | PDF | 3 MB
As the recent war in Lebanon demonstrated, an understanding of the Lebanese Shi‘ite militant group Hizbullah remains an important component of any attempt to solve the problems of the Middle East. The Shifts in Hizbullah’s Ideology provides an in-depth analysis of the group’s motivations, tracking the changes it has undergone since Hizbullah’s founding by Lebanese Shi‘ite clergy in 1978. Joseph Alagha demonstrates that Hizbullah, driven at its founding chiefly by religious concerns, in the latter half of the 1980s became a full-fledged social movement, with a structure and ideology aimed at social change.
Further changes in the 1990s led to Hizbullah’s becoming a mainstream political party—but without surrendering its militarism or willingness to use violence to advance its ends.
In tracking these changes, The Shifts in Hizbullah’s Ideology covers such disparate topics as Hizbullah’s views of jihad, suicide and martyrdom, integration, pan-Islamism, anti-Zionism, and the relationship with Israel and the United States. It will be necessary reading for both scholars and policymakers.

Greek and Roman Siege Machinery 399 BC-AD 363
Publisher: Osprey | ISBN: 1841766054 | edition 2003 | PDF | 48 pages | 11,07 mb
Siege machinery first appeared in the West during the Carthaginian invasion of Sicily in the late-5th century BC, in the form of siege towers and battering rams. After a 50-year hiatus these weapons of war re-appeared in the Macedonian armies of Philip II and Alexander the Great, a period that saw the height of their development in the Ancient World.The experience of warfare with both the Carthaginians during the later-3rd century BC, and Philip V of Macedon during the early-2nd century BC, finally prompted the introduction of the siege tower and the battering ram to the Roman arsenal.
This title traces the development and use of these weapons across the whole of this period.

John Muir’s Last Journey South to the Amazon and East to Africa: Unpublished Journals and Selected Correspondence by John Muir
Publisher: Island Press | Number Of Pages: 350 | Publication Date: 2001-05-01 | ISBN-10: 1559636408 | PDF | 5 Mb
I am now writing up some notes, but when they will be ready for publication I do not know… It will be a long time before anything is arranged in book form.” These words of John Muir, written in June 1912 to a friend, proved prophetic. The journals and notes to which the great naturalist and environmental figure was referring have languished, unpublished and virtually untouched, for nearly a century. Until now. Here edited and published for the first time, Muir’s travel journals from 1911-12, along with his associated correspondence, finally allow us to read in his own words the remarkable story of John Muir’s last great journey.
Leaving from Brooklyn, New York, in August 1911, Muir, at the age of seventy-three and traveling alone, embarked on an eight-month, 40,000-mile voyage to South America and Africa. The 1911-12 journals and correspondence reproduced in this volume allow us to travel with him up the great Amazon, into the jungles of southern Brazil, to snowline in the Andes, through southern and central Africa to the headwaters of the Nile, and across six oceans and seas in order to reach the rare forests he had so long wished to study. Although this epic journey has received almost no attention from the many commentators on Muir’s work, Muir himself considered it among the most important of his life and the fulfillment of a decades-long dream.
John Muir’s Last Journey provides a rare glimpse of a Muir whose interests as a naturalist, traveler, and conservationist extended well beyond the mountains of California. It also helps us to see Muir as a different kind of hero, one whose endurance and intellectual curiosity carried him into far fields of adventure even as he aged, and as a private person and family man with genuine affections, ambitions, and fears, not just an iconic representative of American wilderness.
With an introduction that sets Muir’s trip in the context of his life and work, along with chapter introductions and a wealth of explanatory notes, the book adds important dimensions to our appreciation of one of America’s greatest environmentalists. John Muir’s Last Journey will be must reading for students and scholars of environmental history, American literature, natural history, and related fields, as well as for naturalists and armchair travelers everywhere.

Greek and Roman Artillery 399 BC-AD 363
Publisher: Osprey | ISBN: 1841766348 | edition 2003 | PDF | 48 pages | 11,5 mb
The catapult (katapeltikon) was invented under the patronage of Dionysius I, tyrant of Syracuse, in the 4th century bc. At first only the arrow-firing variant was used, and it was not until the reign of Alexander the Great that stone-projecting catapults were introduced. The Romans adopted these weapons during the Punic Wars and further developed them, before introducing the new arrow-firing ballista and stone-throwing onager.
This title traces the often controversial design, development and construction of these weapons throughout the history of the classical world.

The democratic experiment in Africa has had a chequered history over the 1990s. Authors in this volume argue that African civil society is less likely to support democracy, they measure African democracy by the women’s rights movements, unravel the mythical hope of technology and point to ideological capitulation necessary for a limited transition.
Past experience from Botswana, South-Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar should give the readers an understanding of democracy in Africa.

Universality of Nonclassical Nonlinearity

This book comes as a result of the research work developed in the framework of two large international projects: the European Science Foundation (ESF) supported program NATEMIS (Nonlinear Acoustic Techniques for Micro-Scale Damage Diagnostics) (of which PRofessor Delsanto was the European coordinator, 2000-2004) and a Los Almos-based newtork (headed by Dr. P.A. Johnson, 1996-to date).
The main topic of both programs and of this book is the description of the phenomenology, theory and applications of nonclassical Nonlinearity (NCNL). In fact NCNL techniques have been found in recent years to be extremely powerful (up to more than 1000 times with respect to the corresponding linear techniques) in a wide range of applications, including Elasticity, Material Characterization, Ultrasonics, Geophysics uo to Maintenance and Restoration of artefacts (paintings, stone buildings, etc.). The book is divided into three parts: Part I -defines and describes the concept of NCNL and its universality and reviews several fields to which it may applpy; Part II - describes the phenomenology, theory, modelling and virtual experiments (simulations); Part III - discusses some of the most relevant experimental techniques and applications.

Philippa S. Dee, Michael J. Ferrantino, “Quantitative Methods For Assessing the Effects of Non-tariff Measures And Trade Facilitation”
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company | 2005-04-26 | ISBN 9812560513 | PDF | 664 pages | 32.35 MB
As tariffs have fallen worldwide, the increasing importance of non-tariff policies for further trade liberalization has become widely recognized. The methods for assessing the potential effects of such liberalization have lagged significantly behind those available for analyzing tariffs.
This book is the first volume that comprehensively addresses this gap. It has been designed to be useful for both economists and policymakers, especially for those involved in communicating ideas and results between economists and policymakers.
This indispensable book contains cutting-edge discussions of the full range of methodologies used in this area, including business surveys, summary statistics such as effective rates of protection and price gaps, time-series and panel econometrics, and simulation methods such as computable general equilibrium. It covers the entire spectrum of polices under discussion in current trade negotiations, including trade facilitation, services policies, quantitative measures, customs procedures, standards, movement of natural persons, and anti-dumping.
Some prominent contributors to this book are Bijit Bora (World Trade Organization), John Wilson, Tsunehiro Otsuki and Vlad Manole (World Bank), Catherine Mann (Institute of International Economics), Alan Deardorff and Robert Stern (University of Michigan), Joe Francois (Erasmus University), Dean Spinanger (University of Kiel), Antoni Estevadeordal and Kati Suominen (Inter-American Development Bank), Thomas Prusa (Rutgers University), Thomas Hertel and Terrie Walmsley (Purdue Univeristy), Scott Bradford (Brigham Young University), Judith Dean, Robert Feinberg, Soamiely Andriamananjara and Marinos Tsigas (US International Trade Commission).

Particles at Fluid Interfaces and Membranes (Studies in Interface Science) by K. Nagayama
Publisher: Elsevier Science | (January 1, 2001 | ISBN: 0444502343 | Pages: 668 | PDF | 23.26 MB
Hardbound. In the small world of micrometer to nanometer scale many natural and industrial processes include attachment of colloid particles (solid spheres, liquid droplets, gas bubbles or protein macromolecules) to fluid interfaces and their confinement in liquid films. This may lead to the appearance of lateral interactions between particles at interfaces, or between inclusions in phospholipid membranes, followed eventually by the formation of two-dimensional ordered arrays.
The book is devoted to the description of such processes, their consecutive stages, and to the investigation of the underlying physico-chemical mechanisms. The first six chapters give a concise but informative introduction to the basic knowledge in surface and colloid science, which includes both traditional concepts and some recent results. Chapters 1 and 2 are devoted to the basic theory of capillarity, kinetics of surfactant adsorption, shapes of axisymmetric fluid interfaces etc.

States of Matter (Dover Phoenix Editions)
Publisher: Dover Pubns | ISBN: 048649506X | edition 2002 | DJV | 512 pages | 4,61 mb
In this enlightening and highly rewarding hardcover text, David L. Goodstein, Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology, offers serious students a much needed “overview of the study of matter, and a feeling for those concepts that are applied with more or less success in all the various fields” of science. Focusing his survey on “the macroscopic world, from the atom up rather than the nucleus down,” the author consistently emphasizes areas where the fruits of research are likely to be applicable in other disciplines.
This broad orientation makes States of Matter a valuable adjunct to the study of chemistry, geology, engineering and applied mathematics, as well as physics. Beginning with a chapter covering thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, Dr. Goodstein then proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the three basic states–gases, solids and liquids–a few special states and, finally, phase transitions. Perfect gases are discussed in terms of the ideal gas, Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics, slightly degenerate perfect gases, electrons in metals and the Bose condensation. Coverage on solids includes heat capacity, normal modes, crystal structures, crystal space and electrons in crystals. Additional chapters describe the structure of a fluid, potential energy, interacting gases and liquids; superfluidity, superconductivity and magnetism; Weiss molecular field theory, the van der Waals equation, scaling laws and other pertinent aspects of phase transitions. Many helpful, illustrative problems appear at the end of each chapter; annotated bibliographies further guide the student who wishes to delve more deeply into the subject. Unabridged, corrected Dover republication of the edition first published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1975. Preface. Annotated bibliography and problems at end of each chapter. 154 figures. 4 tables.

Learn & Play Sudoku for Second Grade
Shell Education | 2007-06-07 | ISBN: 1425803210 | 72 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Based on grade-appropriate math concepts, student will encounter three variations of puzzles and practice problem-solving skills on puzzles of increasing difficulty. Contains 45 different puzzles including two Super Challenge puzzles. Learn and Play Sudoku is correlated to NCTM Problem-Solving Standards.
What Is Sudoku?
Whether you are traveling or just relaxing on a Sunday morning,
Sudoku is a pastime that the whole family can enjoy. The Sudoku
craze has taken over. It is goodbye to crossword puzzles and
magic squares and hello to Sudoku. If you search the word
Sudoku on Google™, you will get over 70 million hits. Sudoku
puzzles are published in newspapers, magazines, and books.
They even come in electronic handheld games or interactive
games on the Web.
Sudoku is a logic puzzle. Each puzzle has one or more mini-grids.
Each mini-grid has boxes that are arranged in rows and columns.
Hints are given in some of the boxes. There are different types of puzzles. The puzzles can be
1 x 1 grids, 2 x 2 grids, 2 x 3 grids, 3 x 3 grids, or even more. Pictures, letters, and numbers are
all used within the puzzles in this series.
The objective of a Sudoku puzzle is to fill in all the boxes of the puzzle using only the given
hints. Each column, row, and mini-grid must have each picture, letter, or number only once.
That means you have to pay attention to three things while you try to solve these puzzles.
You have to look up and down the column, across the row, and around the mini-grid!
The History of Sudoku
How did the Sudoku craze start? Sudoku puzzles first appeared in a U.S. magazine in 1979.
At that time it was called “number place.” A magazine editor from Japan saw the number place
puzzle and liked it so much that he decided to create a magazine with his version of it. He
called the puzzle Sudoku. The word su in Japanese means number, and the word doku means
single. The puzzle became very popular in Japan. Today, 660,000 Sudoku magazines are
circulated every month in Japan.

Summary: LOVE IT!
Rating: 5
This is the PERFECT introduction to Sudoku. My 4 year old son LOVES it. It is so nice that you can cut out the little pieces so you can just lay them on the grid instead of writing on them. That way it will work for my next son when he’s old enough. I would definitely recommend this product!

A Texas Cowboy’s Journal Up the Trail to Kansas in 1868
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press | ISBN: 0806137371 | edition 2006 | PDF | 111 pages | 1,22 mb
In this earliest known day-by-day journal of a cattle drive from Texas to Kansas, Jack Bailey, a North Texas farmer, describes what it was like to live and work as a cowboy in the southern plains just after the Civil War. We follow Bailey as the drive moves northward into Kansas and then as his party returns to Texas through eastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, northwestern Arkansas, and Indian Territory.
For readers steeped in romantic cowboy legend, the journal contains surprises. Bailey’s time on the trail was hardly lonely. We travel with him as he encounters Indians, U.S. soldiers, Mexicans, freed slaves, and cowboys working other drives. He and other crew members-ncluding women–battle hunger, thirst, illness, discomfort, and pain. Cowboys quarrel and play practical jokes on each other and, at night, sing songs around the campfire.David Dary’s thorough introduction and footnotes place the journal in historical context.

The Khat Controversy: Stimulating the Debate on Drugs (Cultures of Consumption)
Publisher: Berg Publishers | ISBN: 1845202503 | edition 2007 | PDF | 256 pages | 1,4 mb
Khat is a natural substance that, in the Middle East, is as ubiquitous as coffee in the West. It is hugely popular in some African and Arab populations. But critics contend that it is a seriously addictive stimulant that damages the cardiovascular system. In a groundbreaking study, the authors go behind the veil of the drug, questioning its availability and its affect on its Red Sea producers. Interwoven with case studies from Djibouti to Rome, The Khat Controversy goes deeper to explore contemporary issues relating to globalization, ethnicity and culture.
The first study of this contested drug, Khat provides a concise introduction to the issues surrounding Khat usage and suggests how policymakers should address them.

Jay Cooke’s Gamble
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press | ISBN: 0806137401 | edition 2006 | PDF | 380 pages | 6,54 вс mb
In 1869, Jay Cooke, the brilliant but idiosyncratic American banker, decided to finance the Northern Pacific, a transcontinental railroad planned from Duluth, Minnesota, to Seattle. M. John Lubetkin tells how Cooke’s gamble reignited war with the Sioux, rescued George Armstrong Custer from obscurity, created Yellowstone Park, pushed frontier settlement four hundred miles westward, and triggered the Panic of 1873.
Staking his reputation and wealth on the Northern Pacific, Cooke was soon whipsawed by the railroad’s mismanagement, questionable contracts, and construction problems. Financier J. P. Morgan undermined him, and the Crédit Mobilier scandal ended congressional support. When railroad surveyors and army escorts ignored Sioux chief Sitting Bull’s warning not to enter the Yellowstone Valley, Indian attacks–combined with alcoholic commanders–led to embarrassing setbacks on the field, in the nation’s press, and among investors.Lubetkin’s suspenseful narrative describes events played out from Wall Street to the Yellowstone and vividly portrays the soldiers, engineers, businessmen, politicians, and Native Americans who tried to build or block the Northern Pacific.

The Meaning of Relativity by Albert Einstein
ISBN-10: 0415285887 | Publisher: Routledge | 2003-02-06 | 192 Pages | PDF | 2 Mb
The world would be a very different place if it were not for Albert Einstein. Like Newton and Galileo before him, this remarkable scientist changed forever mankind’s understanding of the universe. In 1921, five years after proclaiming his general theory of relativity, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in recognition of his remarkable achievements.
In the same year he travelled to the United States to give four lectures that consolidated his theory and sought to explain its meaning to a new audience. These lectures were published the following year as The Meaning of Relativity, which he revised with each new edition until his death. It remains a key work for anyone wishing to discover at first hand the workings of one of the most inspiring minds of the twentieth century.

Nitric Oxide in Plant Growth, Development and Stress Physiology (Plant Cell Monographs)
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540451285 | edition 2007 | PDF | 251 pages | 4,09 mb
Recent advances in the study of nitric oxide (NO) biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology in plants are presented in this book, providing an overview of current understanding of the NO actions involved in adaptive responses of plant fitness to environmental constraints. The special emphasis is on NO-dependent signalling, molecular adjustments and targets as key elements in plant growth, development and stress physiology.
The first part of the book is devoted to the description of key features related to NO biochemistry, synthesis and metabolism and the modes of action involved. The second part covers the functionality of NO in three central nodes of the plant life cycle: growth, development and stress physiology. Finally, a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the use of fluorometric detection of NO in plant research brings to light information necessary for understanding the limitations of the method.

Bjorn Lomborg - The Skeptical Environmentalist
Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521010683 | 2001-09 | djvu | 530 pages | 40 Mb
The Skeptical Environmentalist challenges widely held beliefs that the environmental situation is getting worse and worse. The author, himself a former member of Greenpeace, is critical of the way in which many environmental organisations make selective and misleading use of the scientific evidence. Using the best available statistical information from internationally recognised research institutes, Bjørn Lomborg systematically examines a range of major environmental problems that feature prominently in headline news across the world. His arguments are presented in non-technical, accessible language and are carefully backed up by over 2500 footnotes allowing readers to check sources for themselves. Concluding that there are more reasons for optimism than pessimism, Bjørn Lomborg stresses the need for clear-headed prioritisation of resources to tackle real, not imagined problems. The Skeptical Environmentalist offers readers a non-partisan stocktaking exercise that serves as a useful corrective to the more alarmist accounts favoured by campaign groups and the media.

This book is the proceedings of the Third Annual Conference on Fuzzy Information and Engineering (ACFIE2008) from Dec. 5-10, 2008 in Haikou, China. The conference proceedings is published by Springer-Verlag (Advances in Soft Computing, ISSN: 1615-3871).
This year, we have received 155 submissions. Each paper has undergone a rigorous review process. Only high-quality papers are included.
The Third Annual Conference on Fuzzy Information and Engineering (ACFIE2008), built on the success of previous conferences, the ACFIE2005 (Guangzhou, China), is a major symposium for scientists, engineers and practitioners in China to present their updated results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of fuzzy information and engineering.
It aims to strengthen relations between industry research laboratories and universities, and to create a primary symposium for world scientists in fuzzy fields as follows:
1) Fuzzy intelligence, neural networks and optimal;
2) Fuzzy algebra;
3) Fuzzy analysis;
4) Fuzzy systems and logic;
5) Fuzzy topology and measure;
6) Fuzzy probability, control, forecasting and decision-making;
7) Fuzzy clustering and fuzzy algorithms;
Application in fuzzy sets;
9) Rough sets and its application; etc.
This book contains 80 papers, divided into nine main parts:
In Section I, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy intelligence, neural networks and optimal”.
In Section II, we have 11 papers on “fuzzy algebra”.
In Section III, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy analysis”.
In Section IV, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy systems and logic”.
In Section V, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy topology and measure”.

Sharon Doherty, “Heathrow’s Terminal 5: History in the Making”
Wiley | 2008 | ISBN: 0470754354 | 372 pages | PDF | 51,6 MB
This book reveals the inside track on the making of Terminal 5: the courage, the ground-breaking management thinking and the many lessons learnt from the leaders, the client and integrated supply chain teams, - involving over 50,000 people from 20,000 companies - which led to the successful delivery of this mega project on time, on budget, and safely.
Love or hate Heathrow we can’t ignore it! An economic power house for the UK, 155,000 earn their living from it and 68 million of us pass through it each year. Two decades of the planning, design, construction and opening of Terminal 5 has resulted in a gateway that Heathrow can be proud of.
Faced with the risk of opening a year late, being a billion overspent, since Sir John Egan in the early 1990s, BAA, stakeholders and supplier partners have been grappling with Terminal 5`s challenges. The result? £4.3 billion of design and construction delivered on time, to budget and safely is to be commended given the industry statistics but the acid test will now be the quality of the 30 million passengers experience and the operating costs that have been left to stand the test of time.
Sharon Doherty is HR and organisational effectiveness director for Heathrow airport and Terminal 5. Sharon has previously worked in consultancy, financial services and retail. Her specialism is people and change. 2002 to the end 2007 she was accountable for the approach to people management and organisational change on Terminal 5.

Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein Deficiency
Publisher: ICON Group International, Inc. | ISBN: 0497113767 | edition 2007 | PDF | 106 pages | 1,10 mb
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: “The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading.” Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing.
Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
