Study of Functional Stupidity and Defeated mind by Nicholas Markez
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09QXPPWX2 | 208 pages | EPUB | 0.34 Mb
The study of human stupidity has always attracted me. Perhaps because of the excitement that sometimes grips when I think of Erasmus of Rotterdam. No, I would not write praise for nonsense, but it deserves a treatise. If there is a scientific theory of reason, then stupidity deserves the same scientific study. I even believe that if such a science of stupidity were taught in schools and universities, it would be of great public benefit. You can even dream about how we would all get a vaccination against stupidity using this method. But stupidity is a disease of our time, and it is extremely contagious. If reason is our salvation, then stupidity is a gigantic threat. That is why it must be examined no less carefully than, for example,

Practical and easy to use, this text lays a solid groundwork for beginning and intermediate students to pursue careers in architecture, construction, or civil engineering. The text clarifies the vital interdependence between structural steel design and fabrication drawings, equipping students to work flexibly with both. First and foremost a drafting book, Structural Steel Drafting and Design gives an overview of structural design theory while providing numerous examples, illustrations, and real-world assignments. Students also become acquainted with critical tables and reference material from industry-standard sources, as well as the merits of Load and Resistance Factor Design and Allowable Strength Design.
Janell Moon, "Stirring the Waters: Writing to Find Your Spirit"

Stirring the Waters is a beautifully written guide for learning how to live a creative life without foregoing life's necessities; how to strike a balance between feeding your spirit and paying your bills. Just as Julia Cameron helped readers explore their inner-selves in The Artist's Way, author Janell Moon invites readers, through daily writing practice, to delve into the self to affirm where one has been and how it affects the choices made and the roads taken.
Hillel David Soifer, "State Building in Latin America"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1107518407, 1107107873 | PDF | pages: 324 | 15.1 mb
State Building in Latin America diverges from existing scholarship in developing explanations both for why state-building efforts in the region emerged and for their success or failure. First, Latin American state leaders chose to attempt concerted state- building only where they saw it as the means to political order and economic development. Fragmented regionalism led to the adoption of more laissez-faire ideas and the rejection of state- building. With dominant urban centers, developmentalist ideas and state-building efforts took hold, but not all state-building projects succeeded. The second plank of the book's argument centers on strategies of bureaucratic appointment to explain this variation. Filling administrative ranks with local elites caused even concerted state-building efforts to flounder, while appointing outsiders to serve as administrators underpinned success. Relying on extensive archival evidence, the book traces how these factors shaped the differential development of education, taxation, and conscription in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru.

Justin P. Coffey, "Spiro Agnew and the Rise of the Republican Right"
English | ISBN: 1440841411 | 2015 | 259 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Too often overlooked by students of modern conservatism, Spiro T. Agnew's political career mirrored the transformation of the Republicans from a "big tent" party to a narrower, more conservative, and ideologically purer one in the 1960s and 1970s. Spiro Agnew and the Rise of the Republican Right traces Agnew's life and career and shows how Agnew was a key figure in American politics―and documents how a powerful politician who looked to be headed to the presidency ended up having to resign from the office of the vice president in shame and fade into the shadows of political history.
Special Relativity: A Visual Guide to Basic And Advanced Concepts by Preetinder Rahil
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BR51TBVJ | 62 pages | EPUB | 8.77 Mb
Relativity is a triumph of the power of human thought and Einstein's greatest gift to mankind. It is a fascinating but difficult theory to understand. Mathematics is intimidating for a beginner. The popular books do not go into detail about the subject and textbooks are just too hard for self-study. This book aims to bridge the gap between the two. The emphasis of this book is to explain the meaning and intuition behind concepts and mathematics. There is extensive use of analogies from daily life to develop visualization and intuition. This book is well suited for a beginner who has a limited physics and mathematics background.

Relativity is a triumph of the power of human thought and Einstein's greatest gift to mankind. It is a fascinating but difficult theory to understand. Mathematics is intimidating for a beginner.

The emphasis of this book is to explain the meaning and intuition behind concepts and mathematics. There is extensive use of analogies from daily life to develop visualization and intuition. This book is well suited for a beginner who has limited physics and mathematics background. The biggest barrier in learning relativity is the notation, which is a language onto itself. If the meaning behind notation is not clear, it's easy to get lost in the maze of indices used in relativity. This book tries to address the reason and meaning behind relativistic notation.
Juliette Day, Raimo Hakola, Maijastina Kahlos, "Spaces in Late Antiquity: Cultural, Theological and Archaeological Perspectives"
English | 2019 | pages: 260 | ISBN: 0367880458, 1472450167 | PDF | 2,0 mb
Places and spaces are key factors in how individuals and groups construct their identities. Identity theories have emphasised that the construction of an identity does not follow abstract and universal processes but is also deeply rooted in specific historical, cultural, social and material environments. The essays in this volume explore how various groups in Late Antiquity rooted their identity in special places that were imbued with meanings derived from history and tradition. In Part I, essays explore the tension between the Classical heritage in public, especially urban spaces, in the form of ancient artwork and civic celebrations and the Church's appropriation of that space through doctrinal disputes and rival public performances. Parts II and III investigate how particular locations expressed, and formed, the theological and social identities of Christian and Jewish groups by bringing together fresh insights from the archaeological and textual evidence. Together the essays here demonstrate how the use and interpretation of shared spaces contributed to the self-identity of specific groups in Late Antiquity and in so doing issued challenges, and caused conflict, with other social and religious groups.
