Postcolonial Realms of Memory: Sites and Symbols in Modern France by Etienne Achille, Charles Forsdick, Lydie Moudileno
2020 | ISBN: 178962066X | English | 352 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Recognized as one of the most influential studies of memory in the late twentieth century, Pierre Nora's monumental project Les Lieux de memoire has been celebrated for its elaboration of a ground-breaking paradigm for rethinking the relationship between the nation, territory, history and memory. It has also, however, been criticized for implying a narrow perception of national memory from which the legacy of colonialism was excluded. Driven by an increasingly critical postcolonial discourse on French historiography and fuelled by the will to acknowledge the relevance of the colonial in the making of modern and contemporary France, the present volume intends to address in a collective and sustained manner this critical gap by postcolonializing the French Republic's lieux de memoire. The various chapters discern and explore an initial repertoire of realms and sites in France and the so-called Outremer that crystalize traces of colonial memory, while highlighting its inherent dialectical relationship with firmly instituted national memory. By making visible the invisible thread that links the colonial to various manifestations of French heritage, the objective is to bring to the fore the need to anchor the colonial in a collective memory that has often silenced it, and to foster new readings of the past as it is represented, remembered and inscribed in the nation's collective imaginary.

al settings when installed and templates, views and default options need to be adjusted to obtain the best possible performance. Usually the Help files do not connect the user to real life situations and do not explain the practical use of functions. Furthermore, there are many flicks and switches with obscure names that are difficult to understand or decide what they do or which are important. These issues make learning the software very difficult without a comprehensive guide written by an experienced user. Investing in a book written by Paul E Harris will address all these issues and allow you to setup the software properly and understand all the obscure functions letting you become productive more quickly and enhance your career opportunities and salary with a solid understanding of the software.

PHYSICS FOR ALL: Delve into the concepts of Kinematics, Thermodynamics, Relativity, Quantum Physics, and much more as a casual reader or as a physics student without the complexities of mathematics by Krishna S Yeddanapudi
English | December 10, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08QBXWJ1G | 267 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 11 Mb
This is the first book of physics that anyone should read before venturing into highly technical books of physics. This book is ideal for anyone to get introduced to the concepts of physics or for people who wish to brush up quickly long-forgotten technical concepts and laws of physics. I have been fascinated by "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawkings, and I always wanted to write a physics book with that style. And so, I had always wanted to read a physics book focusing on concepts without mathematical complexities since my freshman year when I was first introduced to high school physics. However, all of the physics books I found contained extensive mathematics and too many formulas. This book is written by a student for other fellow students and casual readers interested in physics. Physics for All is the most straightforward guide that anyone would ever need to get into the complicated world of physics. This physics novel takes an approach without the need for mathematics is like no other and analyzes and simplifies even the most complex of topics into basic digestible segments. Additionally, the book covers a wide variety of topics ranging from the basics to the latest theories. This ensures that anyone from a casual reader wanting to know more to a high school student or even a college student in the subject can find something new. The subject matter covered includes (but is not limited to): Kinematics, Newtonian Physics, Thermodynamics, Energy and Radiation, Electricity and magnetism, Waves and Electromagnetism, Elementary Particles, and Neutrinos, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and much, much more. The simple physics book also contains many images for everyone to grasp and understand the concepts. Anyone simply curious will significantly improve their knowledge base by merely reading this one-for-all guide. This book introduces physics concepts from the basic to advanced level and can be read in one sitting. Any high school learner, college student, or casual reader can use this book quickly and get introduced to a massive slew of physics concepts.
