J. T. Ismael, "How Physics Makes Us Free"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0190269448, 0190090588 | PDF | pages: 312 | 1.4 mb
In 1687 Isaac Newton ushered in a new scientific era in which laws of nature could be used to predict the movements of matter with almost perfect precision. Newton's physics also posed a profound challenge to our self-understanding, however, for the very same laws that keep airplanes in the air and rivers flowing downhill tell us that it is in principle possible to predict what each of us will do every second of our entire lives, given the early conditions of the universe.

Dr. Susan E Meisenhelder, "Hitting A Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick: Race and Gender in the Work of Zora Neale Hurston"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0817311319, 0817309659 | PDF | pages: 273 | 20.1 mb
Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick examines the ways Zora Neale Hurston circumvented the constraints of the white publishing world and a predominantly white readership to critique white culture and its effects on the black community. A number of critics have concluded that Hurston simply capitulated to external demands, writing stories white people wanted to hear. Susan Edwards Meisenhelder, however, argues that Hurston's response to her situation is much more sophisticated than her detractors recognized. Meisenheldersuggests, in fact, that Hurston's work, both fictional and anthropological, constitutes an extended critique of the values of white culture and a rejection of white models for black people. Repeatedly, Hurston's work shows the diverse effects that traditional white values, including class divisions and gender imbalances, have on blacks.
History and Education: Engaging the Global Class War By Curry Stephenson Malott
2016 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 1433133997 | PDF | 2 MB
History and Education is a text that engages the history of the global class war, from the United States to the former Soviet Union, from the People's Republic of China to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in order to contribute to the development of communist pedagogy. Central to this communist pedagogy is the struggle for Native American sovereignty and for the self-determination of oppressed nations within the U.S. Pedagogical theory is mobilized to highlight the centrality of seizing state power in the movement for transforming capitalist production relations and bourgeois society into socialist relations and a communist form of society premised on the self-determination of racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities. In the process History and Education challenges both the white chauvinism of pure proletarian communists as well as the anti-communism that, for decades, has dominated the Left in general, and the educational Left in particular, especially in the U.S. The book contributes to the current resurgence in the popularity and appeal of socialism as an achievable and necessary internationalist, solidarity-based alternative to capitalism.
High Temperature Shock Technology: Ultra-fast Micro-Nano Manufacturing by Yanan Chen
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 (2023 Edition) | 196 Pages | ISBN : 981198123X | 92.7 MB
This book introduces high-temperature shock technology (HTS), a new method for ultra-fast synthesis of nanomaterials. HTS cannot only effectively avoid surface oxidation, agglomeration and immiscibility during the preparation of nanomaterials but also eliminate the defects or impurities of carbon-based nanomaterials. The book first presents the unique working devices of HTS. Then, it explains the working principle of its rapid heating and cooling rate at the millisecond level. In addition, the book highlights the latest research achievements of this technology in catalysis, batteries, carbon materials and new material devices, and puts forward the cost-benefit analysis and future development direction. Given its scope, the book appeals to a broad readership, particularly researchers engaged in materials, chemistry, new energy and other related fields, as well as teachers of relevant majors in colleges and universities.

Easton Lee, "Heritage Call: Ballad for Children of the Dragon"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 9766370346 | PDF | pages: 87 | 2.0 mb
The poems in this collection attempt to give a glimpse of life both in China and in one country, Jamaica, in which Chinese immigrants have settled. By preserving some of the stories that were passed down to him by his father about life in China, Easton Lee hopes to ensure that the history and lore of the great Chinese civilisation will help offspring of the present and future generations to understand their culture with pride and dignity.
Her Life Historical: Exemplarity and Female Saints' Lives in Late Medieval England By Catherine Sanok
2007 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 0812239865 | PDF | 17 MB
'Her Life Historical' offers a major reconsideration of one of the most popular narrative forms in late medieval England - the lives of female saints - and one of the period's primary modes of interpretation - exemplarity. With lucidity and insight, Catherine Sanok shows that saints' legends served as vehicles for complex considerations of historical difference and continuity in an era of political crisis and social change. At the same time, they played a significant role in women's increasing visibility in late medieval literary culture by imagining a specifically feminine audience. Sanok proposes a new way to understand exemplarity - the repeated injunction to imitate the saints - not simply as a prescriptive mode of reading but as an encouragement to historical reflection. With groundbreaking originality, she argues that late medieval writers and readers used religious narrative, and specifically the legends of female saints, to think about the historicity of their own ethical lives and of the communities they inhabited. She explains how these narratives were used in the fifteenth century to negotiate the urgent social concerns occasioned by political instability and dynastic conflict, by the threat of heresy and the changing status of public religion, and by new kinds of social mobility and forms of collective identity. 'Her Life Historical' also offers a fresh account of how women came to be visible participants in late medieval literary culture. The expectation that they formed a distinct audience for saints' lives and moral literature allowed medieval women to surface in the historical record as book owners, patrons, and readers. Saints' lives thereby helped to invent the idea of a gendered audience with a privileged affiliation and a specific response to a given narrative tradition.
