The New Mechanical Philosophy by Stuart Glennan
English | October 10, 2017 | ISBN: 0198779712, 0198848072 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 1 MB
The New Mechanical Philosophy argues for a new image of nature and of science-one that understands both natural and social phenomena to be the product of mechanisms, and that casts the work of science as an effort to discover and understand those mechanisms. Drawing on an expanding literature on mechanisms in physical, life, and social sciences, Stuart Glennan offers an account of the nature of mechanisms and of the models used to represent them. A key quality of mechanisms is that they are particulars - located at different places and times, with no one just like another. The crux of the scientist's challenge is to balance the complexity and particularity of mechanisms with our need for representations of them that are abstract and general.

The Invention of the White Race: The Origin of Racial Oppression by Theodore W. Allen
English | January 11th, 2022 | ISBN: 1839763922 | 800 pages | True EPUB | 3.60 MB
When the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619, there were no "white" people there; nor, according to colonial records, would there be for another sixty years. Historical debate about the origin of racial slavery has focused on the status of the Negro in seventeenth-century Virginia and Maryland. However, as Theodore W. Allen argues in this magisterial work, what needs to be studied is the transformation of English, Scottish, Irish and other European colonists from their various statuses as servants, tenants, planters or merchants into a single new all-inclusive status: that of whites. This is the key to the paradox of American history, of a democracy resting on race assumptions.
The Homestead Strike: Labor, Violence, and American Industry (Critical Moments in American History) by Paul Kahan
English | Dec 13, 2013 | ISBN: 0415531934, 0415531942 | 176 pages | PDF | 4 MB
On July 6, 1892, three hundred armed Pinkerton agents arrived in Homestead, Pennsylvania to retake the Carnegie Steelworks from the company's striking workers. As the agents tried to leave their boats, shots rang out and a violent skirmish began. The confrontation at Homestead was a turning point in the history of American unionism, beginning a rapid process of decline for America's steel unions that lasted until the Great Depression.
The Gestapo: Power and Terror in the Third Reich by Michael Stolle, Carsten Dams
English | June 1, 2014 | ISBN: 019966921X | True EPUB | 234 pages | 3.3 MB
The Gestapo was the most feared instrument of political terror in the Third Reich, brutally hunting down and destroying anyone it regarded as an enemy of the Nazi regime: socialists, Communists, Jews, homosexuals, and anyone else deemed to be an 'anti-social element'. Its prisons soon became infamous - many of those who disappeared into them were never seen again - and it has been remembered ever since as the sinister epitome of Nazi terror and persecution.
The Antibody Molecule: From antitoxins to therapeutic antibodies (Oxford Medical Histories) by Anthony R. Rees
English | January 2, 2015 | ISBN: 0199646570 | True EPUB | 384 pages | 8.5 MB
The Antibody Molecule follows the extraordinary journey of the medics and scientists who shaped the course of medical advances in the field of immunology. One of the oldest of the medical sciences, immunology has a history that has seen chemists, physicists and biologists alike seeking to unravel the most complex system in the human body outside the brain. This book charts its intriguing history, from the genetic basis of antibody diversity, through the understanding of the mechanism by which the immune system's first line of defence works, to breakthroughs in crystallography and the exploitation of immunoglobulins as therapeutic platforms to treat cancer, inflammation and allergy.

Soil and Plant Analysis for Forest Ecosystem Characterization By Daniel John Vogt, Joel P. Tilley, Robert L. Edmonds
2015 | 221 Pages | ISBN: 3110290294 | EPUB | 3 MB
This handbook provides and overview of physical, chemical and biological methods used to analyze soils and plant tissue using an ecosystem perspective. The current emphasis on climate change has recognized the importance of including soil carbon as part of our carbon budgets. Methods to assess soils must be ecosystem based if they are to have utility for policy makers and managers wanting to change soil carbon and nutrient pools. Most of the texts on soil analysis treat agriculture and not forest soils and these methods do not transfer readily to forests because of their different chemistry and physical properties. This manual presents methods for soil and plant analysis with the ecosystem level approach that will reduce the risk that poor management decisions will be made in forests.
