Affirmative Action Policies and Judicial Review Worldwide by George Gerapetritis
English | PDF | 2016 | 270 Pages | ISBN : 3319223941 | 2.6 MB
This book discusses affirmative action or positive discrimination, defined as measures awarding privileges to certain groups that have historically suffered discrimination or have been underrepresented in specific social sectors. The book's underlying rationale is that one cannot place at the same starting point people who have been treated differently in the past because in this way one merely perpetuates a state of difference and, in turn, social gaps are exaggerated and social cohesion is endangered. Starting out with an introduction on the meaning and typology of affirmative action policies, the book goes on to emphasise the interaction of affirmative action with traditional values of liberal state, such as equality, meritocracy, democracy, justice, liberalism and socialism. It reveals the affirmative action goals from a legal and sociological point of view, examining the remedial, cultural, societal, pedagogical and economy purposes of such action.

Active Prelude to Calculus by Matthew Boelkins
English | PDF | 2019 | 327 Pages | ISBN : 1085940853 | 5.3 MB
Active Prelude to Calculus is designed for college students who aspire to take calculus and who either need to take a course to prepare them for calculus or want to do some additional self-study. Many of the core topics of the course will be familiar to students who have completed high school. At the same time, we take a perspective on every topic that emphasizes how it is important in calculus. This text is written in the spirit of Active Calculus and is especially ideal for students who will eventually study calculus from that text. The reader will find that the text requires them to engage actively with the material, to view topics from multiple perspectives, and to develop deep conceptual understanding of ideas. Many courses at the high school and college level with titles such as "college algebra", "precalculus", and "trigonometry" serve other disciplines and courses other than calculus.

Active Calculus Multivariable by Steven Schlicker
English | PDF | 2017 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 154865552X | 6.6 MB
Active Calculus Multivariable is the continuation of Active Calculus to multivariable functions. The Active Calculus texts are different from most existing calculus texts in at least the following ways: the texts are free for download by students and instructors in .pdf[/url] format; in the electronic format, graphics are in full color and there are live html links to java applets; the texts are open source, and interested instructors can gain access to the original source files upon request; the style of the texts requires students to be active learners - there are very few worked examples in the texts, with there instead being 3-4 activities per section that engage students in connecting ideas, solving problems, and developing understanding of key calculus concepts; each section begins with motivating questions, a brief introduction, and a preview activity, all of which are designed to be read and completed prior to class; the exercises are few in number and challenging in nature.

Daniel Byman, "A High Price: The Triumphs and Failures of Israeli Counterterrorism"
English | ISBN: 0195391829 | 2011 | 464 pages | EPUB | 1335 KB
The product of painstaking research and countless interviews, A High Price offers a nuanced, definitive historical account of Israel's bold but often failed efforts to fight terrorist groups. Beginning with the violent border disputes that emerged after Israel's founding in 1948, Daniel Byman charts the rise of Yasir Arafat's Fatah and leftist groups such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-organizations that ushered in the era of international terrorism epitomized by the 1972 hostage-taking at the Munich Olympics. Byman reveals how Israel fought these groups and others, such as Hamas, in the decades that follow, with particular attention to the grinding and painful struggle during the second intifada. Israel's debacles in Lebanon against groups like the Lebanese Hizballah are examined in-depth, as is the country's problematic response to Jewish terrorist groups that have struck at Arabs and Israelis seeking peace. In surveying Israel's response to terror, the

A Guide to Understanding Land Surveys, Third Edition By Stephen V. Estopinal(auth.)
2009 | 253 Pages | ISBN: 0470230584 | PDF | 3 MB
The nonsurveyor's definitive land survey sourcebook-now extensively updated Over the last several decades, the Internet has allowed individuals with a non-technical background to assume more control of land surveys. But without a clear understanding of how to accurately use land survey data, and faced with the challenges of communicating specific requirements to a professional land surveyor, conflicts often arise that lead to litigation. A Guide to Understanding Land Surveys bridges the ever-expanding communication gap between the users of land boundary information and professional land surveyors. This indispensable guide clearly explains the functions and procedures required in every survey (routine or otherwise), and the role of a surveyor in their investigation and re-establishment. It is a must-have resource for title attorneys, paralegals, realtors, government agents, and others who rely on the information gathered and presented by land surveys. Written in nontechnical language and supported by numerous line drawings, A Guide to Understanding Land Surveys not only helps readers gain a strong familiarity with a survey, plat, or land description, but enables them to accurately evaluate it, detect any inadequacies, and make the proper adjustments to obtain approval. The Third Edition of A Guide to Understanding Land Surveys has been expanded with thirty percent new material and is fully updated to reflect the latest practice guidelines and technology, including the use of GPS and GIS in land boundary re-establishment. Also included is important new material on how technology should be interpreted in assessing the quality and accuracy of a land survey.Content: Chapter 1 Purpose of the Book (pages 1-6): Chapter 2 Real Property on a Round Planet (pages 7-18): Chapter 3 Geometry (pages 19-32): Chapter 4 Defining North (pages 33-42): Chapter 5 Projection Systems (pages 43-54): Chapter 6 Fundamentals of Measurements (pages 55-88): Chapter 7 Land Record Systems (pages 89-122): Chapter 8 The Global Positioning System (GPS) (pages 123-130): Chapter 9 The Geographic Information System (GIS) Revolution (pages 131-134): Chapter 10 Boundary Recovery (pages 135-146): Chapter 11 Evaluating Survey Plats (pages 147-172): Chapter 12 Exercises in Evaluating Survey Plats (pages 173-202): Chapter 13 Writing Legal Descriptions (pages 203-218): Chapter 14 Exercises in Writing Deed Descriptions (pages 219-226): Chapter 15 Ethics and Professional Conduct (pages 227-230):
