Susanna Kim Ripken, "Corporate Personhood"
English | ISBN: 1108416527 | 2019 | 312 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The topic of corporate personhood has captured the attention of many who are concerned about the increasing presence, power, and influence of corporations in modern society. Recent Supreme Court cases like Citizens United, Hobby Lobby, and Masterpiece Cakeshop - which solidified the free speech and religious liberty rights of corporations and their owners - have heightened the controversy over treating corporations as persons under the law. What does it mean to say that the corporation is a person, and why does it matter? In Corporate Personhood, Susanna Kim Ripken addresses these questions and highlights the complexity of the corporate personhood concept. Using a broad, interdisciplinary framework - incorporating law, economics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, organizational theory, political science, and linguistics - this highly original work explores the complex, multidimensional nature of corporate personhood and its implications for corporate rights and duties.

Martin Stynes, "Convection Diffusion Problems: An Introduction to Their Analysis and Numerical Solution "
English | ISBN: 1470448688 | 2018 | 156 pages | DJVU | 2 MB
Many physical problems involve diffusive and convective (transport) processes. When diffusion dominates convection, standard numerical methods work satisfactorily. But when convection dominates diffusion, the standard methods become unstable, and special techniques are needed to compute accurate numerical approximations of the unknown solution. This convection-dominated regime is the focus of the book. After discussing at length the nature of solutions to convection-dominated convection-diffusion problems, the authors motivate and design numerical methods that are particularly suited to this class of problems. At first they examine finite-difference methods for two-point boundary value problems, as their analysis requires little theoretical background. Upwinding, artificial diffusion, uniformly convergent methods, and Shishkin meshes are some of the topics presented. Throughout, the authors are concerned with the accuracy of solutions when the diffusion coefficient is close to zero. Later in the book they concentrate on finite element methods for problems posed in one and two dimensions. This lucid yet thorough account of convection-dominated convection-diffusion problems and how to solve them numerically is meant for beginning graduate students, and it includes a large number of exercises. An up-to-date bibliography provides the reader with further reading.
Controlling Motors with Arduino/Genuino by David Leithauser
English | June 15, 2018 | ISBN: 1721143874 | 100 pages | EPUB | 0.98 Mb
This book is about controlling motors using Arduinos (called Genuinos outside the United States). I start out with simple direct current (DC) motors, covering turning them on and off, controlling their speed, and reversing direction. I then get into more complicated motors. I discuss two types of stepper motors, a type of precision motor that can be used for detailed control of devices like 3D printers, CNC routers, robot arms, etc. I also discuss servo motors, which are useful for setting positions, and brushless motors, which are good for high speeds like you might need for drone or model plane propellers, fans, model boat propellers, high-speed model cars, and any other application that requires high speeds. This book covers both electronics and programming, so are be electronic schematics and Arduino sketches. I assume that the reader is already familiar with the basics of Arduinos, such as how to install the IDE and load sketches, so I do not go into details on topics like that. I use Arduino Uno as the basis for designs in this book, but other models will work for most of the applications discussed in this book. In the last chapter, I provide several links to locations where you can download the sketches in this book to save you the trouble of typing them.

Confessions of a Philosopher: A Personal Journey Through Western Philosophy from Plato to Popper By Bryan Magee
1999 | 496 Pages | ISBN: 0375750363 | DJVU | 5 MB
In this infectiously exciting book, Bryan Magee tells the story of his own discovery of philosophy and not only makes it come alive but shows its relevance to daily life. Magee is the Carl Sagan of philosophy, the great popularizer of the subject, and author of a major new introductory history, The Story of Philosophy. Confessions follows the course of Magee's life, exploring philosophers and ideas as he himself encountered them, introducing all the great figures and their ideas, from the pre-Socratics to Bertrand Russell and Karl Popper, including Wittgenstein, Kant, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer, rationalism, utilitarianism, empiricism, and existentialism.
