Climate Change Temporalities: Explorations in Vernacular, Popular, and Scientific Discourse by Kyrre Kverndokk, Marit Ruge Bjærke
English | Mar 23, 2021 | ISBN: 0367479605 | 202 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Climate Change Temporalities explores how various timescales, timespans, intervals, rhythms, cycles, and changes in acceleration are at play in climate change discourses. It argues that nuanced, detailed, and specific understandings and concepts are required to handle the challenges of a climatically changed world, politically and socially as well as scientifically. Rather than reflecting abstractly on theories of temporality, this edited collection explores a variety of timescales and temporalities from narratives, experience, popular culture, and everyday life in addition to science and history - and the entanglements between them. The chapters are clustered into three main sections, exploring a range of genres, such as questionnaires, interviews, magazines, news media, television series, aquariums, and popular science books to critically examine how and where climate change understandings are formed. The book also includes chapters historising notions of climate and temporality by exploring scientific debates and practices.

The Cleveland Way is the 108-mile National Trail that skirts the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Following Natural England's acorn waymarks, the route stretches from Helmsley and the White Horse in the west across the Moors to the dramatic coastline from Saltburn to Filey, offering panoramic views of the countryside and coast. This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. A complete description of the routeis divided into nine chapters, each covering one day's walk.A1:25 ordnance surveymapping is marked with points of interest along the route shown alongside the text.

Webb Keane, "Christian Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter (Volume 1) "
English | ISBN: 0520246527 | 2007 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Across much of the postcolonial world, Christianity has often become inseparable from ideas and practices linking the concept of modernity to that of human emancipation. To explore these links, Webb Keane undertakes a rich ethnographic study of the century-long encounter, from the colonial Dutch East Indies to post-independence Indonesia, among Calvinist missionaries, their converts, and those who resist conversion. Keane's analysis of their struggles over such things as prayers, offerings, and the value of money challenges familiar notions about agency. Through its exploration of language, materiality, and morality, this book illuminates a wide range of debates in social and cultural theory. It demonstrates the crucial place of Christianity in semiotic ideologies of modernity and sheds new light on the importance of religion in colonial and postcolonial histories.

Calculation of Critical Distance in Faulted Meshed Power System by Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli
English | 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B071G4BTC1 | EPUB | 0.84 Mb
Faults studies form an important part of power system analysis. The problem consists of determining bus voltages and line currents during various types of faults. If the fault location is known the problem can be easily solved. But if the fault location is unkown, it is difficult to solve the problem. If the fault location is known the problem can be easily solved. But if the fault location is unkown, it is difficult to solve the problem. There were attempts to find the critical distance of a fault that will cause certain pre-defined voltage dip at certain bus, and the problem was easy to be solved in radial systems, but yet non of the existing researches could provide proper solution for finding the crtical distance of the fault at certain line that will cause predefined voltage dip magnitude at certain bus.in meshed power system. The paper provided proper solution based in Gauess Seidal to find the critcal distance in meshed power system

Bringing Aztlan to Mexican Chicago: My Life, My Work, My Art By Jose Gamaliel Gonzalez, Marc Zimmerman
2010 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0252035380 | PDF | 10 MB
Bringing Aztlán to Mexican Chicago is the autobiography of Jóse Gamaliel González, an impassioned artist willing to risk all for the empowerment of his marginalized and oppressed community. Through recollections emerging in a series of interviews conducted over a period of six years by his friend Marc Zimmerman, González looks back on his life and his role in developing Mexican, Chicano, and Latino art as a fundamental dimension of the city he came to call home. Born near Monterey, Mexico, and raised in a steel mill town in northwest Indiana, González studied art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame. Settling in Chicago, he founded two major art groups: El Movimiento Artístico Chicano (MARCH) in the 1970s and Mi Raza Arts Consortium (MIRA) in the 1980s. With numerous illustrations, this book portrays González's all-but-forgotten community advocacy, his commitments and conflicts, and his long struggle to bring quality arts programming to the city. By turns dramatic and humorous, his narrative also covers his bouts of illness, his relationships with other artists and arts promoters, and his place within city and barrio politics.

PROF. Isabelle Sommier, PROF. Graeme Hayes, Isabelle Ollitrault, "Breaking Laws: Violence and Civil Disobedience in Protest"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 9089649344 | PDF | pages: 275 | 1.6 mb
Breaking Laws: Violence and Civil Disobedience in Protest questions the complex relationship between social movements and violence through two contrasted lenses; first through the short-lived radical left wing post '68 revolutionary violence, and secondly in the present diffusion of civil disobedience actions, often at the border between non-violence and violence. This book shows how and why violence occurs or does not, and what different meanings it can take. The short-lived extreme left revolutionary groups that grew out of May '68 and the opposition to the Vietnam War (such as the German Red Army Faction, the Italian Red Brigades, and the Japanese Red Army) are without any doubt on the violent side. More ambiguous are the burgeoning contemporary forms of "civil" disobedience, breaking the law with the aim of changing it. In theory, these efforts are associated with non-violence and self-restraint. In practice, the line is more difficult to trace, as much depends on how political players define and frame non-violence and political legitimacy.
