Scott McGaugh, "The Military in San Diego"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1467131563 | ASIN: B00K5E0OZ2 | EPUB | pages: 144 | 13.5 mb
No city is as proud of its military heritage as San Diego, known as "Navy Town, USA." Congress also has designated San Diego as "the Birthplace of Naval Aviation." However, its community fabric reflects a more diverse and tightly woven relationship with our nation's defense. Over the past century, the city has invented and then reinvented itself in response to shifting world affairs and national priorities. It began with a successful campaign to become a West Coast Navy base in the early 1900s. By the 1930s, military aircraft manufacturing drove economic development. After explosive growth in World War II, San Diego emerged as an established military metropolis. At the dawn of the Cold War, San Diego recast itself as a home for Cold War research and development and defense contractors. Today, San Diego is an internationally renowned defense science and technology development center, a city in which one in four jobs and fully 50 percent of regional domestic product are defense related. Like no other city in America, San Diego has grown from a remote military presidio outpost to become a preeminent Pacific powerhouse.

The Logic of Language: A Semiotic Study of Speech by Michael Shapiro
English | PDF | 2022 | 347 Pages | ISBN : 3031066111 | 4.7 MB
This book serves as a basis for the exploration of language in a more systematic way. The main impetus for writing this book derives from the fact that linguistics and semiotics are two fields of study that need to be brought together under one compass because language is what is known as the "passkey semiotic," i.e. the system of signs that underlies all other sign systems owing to its foundational status. Due to the current balkanization of linguistics as an academic discipline, the academic study of language structure rarely if ever incorporates the insights of semiotics and semioticians when presenting its material.
David Boyle, "The Little Money Book"
English | ISBN: 1901970515 | 2003 | 192 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
They say money is the root of all evil. That's debatable, but one thing that's not is that money and its attendant enterprises-buying, selling, lending, borrowing, credit cards, the stock market and banking-is an inescapable component of the fabric of modern life. How did this come to be? Money and the complex system that makes it work is a man-made product that we invented and yet, like Frankenstein, it has us all in its grip. From the poorest to the wealthiest, we worry about money. This highly accessible and easy-to-read synthesis of complex subjects asks some of the obvious questions about money and finance that few of us stop to think about.For instance, what is the real "value" of money? Well, astonishingly, nobody agrees. But most people seem to accept that it is lent into existence by the commercial banks. When you stash money in the bank, they must keep around 8 percent of that loan on deposit-in case there's a run on the bank-but all the rest is lent out again many times over. In other words, most of our mortgages and bank loans are created as if by magic by a stroke of the pen.That's the strange truth behind modern money. We don't mine it, we don't find it on a beach, it bears no relation to anything real, but still some people have vast amounts of it and some people have none at all. And we hardly ever talk about it.David Boyle is an associate at the New Economics Foundation. He lives in London.
Sia Mohajer, "The Little Book of Stupidity: How We Lie to Ourselves and Don't Believe Others"
English | ISBN: 1519282796 | 2015 | 98 pages | EPUB | 1125 KB
As Human Beings we are great story tellers. We tell stories about who we are, what we're doing and why we are doing it. The problem is sometimes those stories are fictions; created by our own blindness to reality. We are such good story tellers that we often don't know we are deceiving ourselves. The brain has evolved to make information processing simplified and with this has created a need to simplify the world. The problem is sometimes rational thinking becomes sacrificed for this simplicity In The Little Book of Stupidity, Sia Mohajer draws on extensive research and makes surprising connections among ten of life's most pervasive cognitive biases. It is a story about how stupid we can all be and also how we can become more compassionate as a result.
