The book starts with the most basic programming concepts and gradually works its way to advanced object-oriented techniques.

Theater of War and Exile: Twelve Playwrights, Directors and Performers from Eastern Europe and Israel by Domnica Radulescu
2015 | ISBN: 0786473126 | English | 264 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
In what ways does political trauma influence the art arising from it? Is there an aesthetic of war and exile in theatrical works that emerge from such experiences? Are there cultural markers defining such works from areas like Eastern Europe and Israel? This book considers these questions in an examination of plays, performances and theater artists that speak from a place of political violence and displacement. The author's critical inquiry covers a variety of theatrical experimentations, including Brechtian distancing, black humor, pastiche, surreal and hyper-real imagery, reversed chronologies and disrupted narratives. Drawing on postmodern theories and performance studies as well as interviews and personal statements from the artists discussed, this study explores the transformative power of the theater arts and their function as catalysts for social change, healing and remembrance.

The Wardian Case: How a Simple Box Moved Plants and Changed the World by Luke Keogh
November 17, 2020 | ISBN: 022671361X | English | 288 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
Roses, jasmine, fuchsia, chrysanthemums, and rhododendrons bloom in gardens across the world, and yet many of the most common varieties have roots in Asia. How is this global flowering possible? In 1829, surgeon and amateur naturalist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward placed soil, dried leaves, and the pupa of a sphinx moth into a sealed glass bottle, intending to observe the moth hatch. But when a fern and meadow grass sprouted from the soil, he accidentally discovered that plants enclosed in glass containers could survive for long periods without watering. After four years of experimentation in his London home, Ward created traveling glazed cases that would be able to transport plants around the world. Following a test run from London to Sydney, Ward was proven correct: the Wardian case was born, and the botanical makeup of the world's flora was forever changed.

David R. Roediger, "The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 1844671453, 1844671267 | 195 pages | PDF | 9.6 MB
Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneered by E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger's widely acclaimed book provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explained simply with reference to economic advantage; rather, white working-class racism is underpinned by a complex series of psychological and ideological mechanisms that reinforce racial stereotypes, and thus help to forge the identities of white workers in opposition to Blacks.

The Viability of Organizations Vol. 3: Designing and Changing Organizations by Wolfgang Lassl
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 360 Pages | ISBN : 303025853X | 26.7 MB
The design process for organizational structures sometimes resembles a random walk, especially when it is embedded in an arena of competing personal interests and power games. Many organizations still lack clear guidance and are therefore seeking a rigorous, nuanced, and impartial methodology for the design and development of their organizational structures, processes and behavioral repertoire. The Viable System Model (VSM) can help: by identifying the essential design principles and parameters that need to be considered, and which can be used to enhance an organization's effectiveness, adaptability, cohesion and overall viability.

The Prose Edda is probably not what you think it is, yes, it was written by Snorri Sturluson, but the translations you read are often compiled from at least four differing facilimies of the original manuscript as the original manuscript has been lost in time. These four key manuscripts, each missing parts that other's have, and some older and copies of copies. That is one of the main reasons why there are different versions of the Prose Edda.
