Simon Gunn, "History and Cultural Theory"

==========

Simon Gunn, "History and Cultural Theory"

English | ISBN: 0582784085 | 2006 | 256 pages | PDF | 1 MB

In recent times there has been recognition of the growing influence of cultural theory on historical writing. Foucault, Bourdieu, Butler and Spivak are just some of the thinkers whose ideas have been taken up and deployed by historians.
What are these ideas and where do they come from? How have cultural theorists thought about 'history'? And how have historians applied theoretical insights to enhance their own understanding of events in the past?
This book provides a wide-ranging and authoritative guide to the often vexed and controversial relationship between history and contemporary theory. It analyses the concepts that concern both theorists and historians, such as power, identity, modernity and postcolonialism, and offers a critical evaluation of them from an historical standpoint.
Written in an accessible manner, History and Cultural Theory gives historians and students an invaluable summary of the impact of cultural theory on historiography over the last twenty years, and indicates the likely directions of the subject in the future.

==========

Eunju Lee, "Gendered Processes: Korean Immigrant Small Business Ownership"

2005 | pages: 220 | ISBN: 1593321236 | PDF | 13 mb

Lee examines gendered processes of becoming small business owners among Korean immigrants in the New York City metropolitan area. Immigration necessitated Korean wives to work outside the home, but this economic transition did not change gender relations. Married couples run small businesses together, but husbands exercise rights as owners and wives are primarily viewed as sources of labor. The immigrants hold onto traditional gender values and patriarchal family relations. Paradoxically, immigrants' deep-seated gender norms have been catalysts for the dominance of women as nail salon owners. Korean immigrant men were unwilling to acquire on-the job training in what they considered as a feminine work.

Integral Psychology connects Eastern and Western approaches to psychology and healing. Psychology in the East has focused on our inner being and spiritual foundation of the psyche. Psychology in the West has focused on our outer being and the wounding of the body-heart-mind and self. Each requires the other to complete it, and in bringing them together an integral view of psychology comes into view.

==========

Helmut Werner, "Landmarks in Organo-Transition Metal Chemistry: A Personal View"

2008 | pages: 361 | ISBN: 038709847X | PDF | 8,6 mb

Since the discovery of ferrocene and the sandwich-type complexes, the development of organometallic chemistry took its course like an avalanche and became one of the scientific success stories of the second half of the twentieth century. Based on this development, the traditional boundaries between inorganic and organic chemistry gradually disappeared and a rebirth of the nowadays highly important field of homogeneous catalysis occurred. It is fair to say that despite the fact that the key discovery, which sparked it all off, was made more than 50 years ago, organometallic chemistry remains a young and lively discipline.

Intorno alla chiesa di St Frideswide, dall'alto del suo campanile gotico, a Oxford North, si vede scorrere la vita di quel pezzo di provincia inglese.

Sentinel HC; First Edition edition | December 29, 2004 | English | ISBN: 1595230017 | 944 pages | PDF | 5 MB
For at least thirty years, high school and college students have been taught to be embarrassed by American history. Required readings have become skewed toward a relentless focus on our country's darkest moments, from slavery to McCarthyism. As a result, many history books devote more space to Harriet Tubman than to Abraham Lincoln; more to My Lai than to the American Revolution; more to the internment of Japanese Americans than to the liberation of Europe in World War II.

Steve Antinoff, "Spiritual Atheism"

English | ISBN: 1582435642 | 2010 | 120 pages | PDF | 0.4 MB

In Spiritual Atheism, Steve Antinoff argues that the dilemma burning within the West has been given its most fundamental expression by Kirilov in Dostoyevsky's The Possessed: ''God is necessary, and so must exist...Yet I know that he doesn't exist, and can't exist...But don't you understand that a man with two such ideas cannot go on living?'' According to Antinoff, spiritual atheism begins with triple realisation: that the experience of the world leaves people dissatisfied, that this dissatisfaction is intolerable and that there is no God.

Chemometrics in Food Chemistry, Volume 28 (Data Handling in Science and Technology)

English | 2013 | ISBN: 0444595287 | 512 pages | PDF | 18,9 MB

The issues related to food science and authentication are of particular importance for researchers, consumers and regulatory entities. The need to guarantee quality foodstuff - where the word "quality" encompasses many different meanings, including e.g. nutritional value, safety of use, absence of alteration and adulterations, genuineness, typicalness, etc. - has led researchers to look for increasingly effective tools to investigate and deal with food chemistry problems.


As even the simplest food is a complex matrix, the way to investigate its chemistry cannot be other than multivariate. Therefore, chemometrics is a necessary and powerful tool for the field of food analysis and control.

A Nuclear Winter's Tale: Science and Politics in the 1980s (Transformations: Studies in the History of Science and Technology) by Lawrence Badash

The MIT Press | July 10, 2009 | English | ISBN: 0262012723 | 424 pages | PDF | 2 MB

The nuclear winter phenomenon burst upon the public's consciousness in 1983. Added to the horror of a nuclear war's immediate effects was the fear that the smoke from fires ignited by the explosions would block the sun, creating an extended "winter" that might kill more people worldwide than the initial nuclear strikes. In A Nuclear Winter's Tale, Lawrence Badash maps the rise and fall of the science of nuclear winter, examining research activity, the popularization of the concept, and the Reagan-era politics that combined to influence policy and public opinion. Badash traces the several sciences (including studies of volcanic eruptions, ozone depletion, and dinosaur extinction) that merged to allow computer modeling of nuclear winter and its development as a scientific specialty.

The discussion of neurobiological problems covers mental retardation, polyglutamate, and speech disorders, as well as disorders that involve cognitive, social, speech, and language dysfunction.

Israel M Kirzner - The Meaning of the Market Process: Essays in the Development of Modern Austrian Economics

Published: 1996-06-06 | ISBN: 0415137381, 0415068665 | PDF | 264 pages | 3 MB



Israel Kirzner is the foremost proponent of the modern Austrian theory of the market process. This theory, while concurring with many of the major policy implications of neo-classical economics, sharply dissents from much of the substance and methodology of neo-classicism. Emphasising the crucial role of ignorance, uncertainty, and the passage of time, Austrian economists criticize the 'tight equilibrium' approach of the mainstream. Yet the Austrians refuse to conclude that the major conclusions of economics are to be rejected. By introducing the role of the entrepreneur and of entrepreneurial discovery (an innovation in which the author's earlier work has played a central role), modern Austrian economists believe it possible to steer a middle course between those who believe the world to be at all times in full co-ordination, and those who believe it to lack any important co-ordinative properties altogether. The Meaning of Market Process offers new substantive insights in support of this Austrian position, and new historical interpretations of how the ideas of the modern Austrians emerged.

2005 | pages: 218 | ISBN: 0071447881 | PDF | 3,5 mb


Biofliudics has gained in importance in recent years, forcing engineers to redefine mechanical engineering theories and apply them to biological functions. To date, no book has successfully done this. Biofliud Mechanics in Cardiovascular Systems is one of the first books to take an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Written by a professor and researcher, this book will combine engineering principles with human biology to deliver a text specifically designed for biomedical engineering professionals and students.
