 VEDIC ARITHMETIC AND MATHEMATICS: Speed Math Tips and Mental Math Shortcuts You Need to Know... Made Easy! by Sanjay Patel English | October 31, 2015 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B017GER10Y | 62 pages | PDF | 0.24 Mb VEDIC ARITHMETIC AND MATHEMATICS: Speed Math Tips and Mental Math Shortcuts You Need to Know... Made Easy!  Davis Baird, "Thing Knowledge: A Philosophy of Scientific Instruments" English | 2004 | ISBN: 0520232496 | 296 pages | EPUB | 2.66 MB Western philosophers have traditionally concentrated on theory as the means for expressing knowledge about a variety of phenomena. This absorbing book challenges this fundamental notion by showing how objects themselves, specifically scientific instruments, can express knowledge. As he considers numerous intriguing examples, Davis Baird gives us the tools to "read" the material products of science and technology and to understand their place in culture. Making a provocative and original challenge to our conception of knowledge itself, Thing Knowledge demands that we take a new look at theories of science and technology, knowledge, progress, and change. Baird considers a wide range of instruments, including Faraday's first electric motor, eighteenth-century mechanical models of the solar system, the cyclotron, various instruments developed by analytical chemists between 1930 and 1960, spectrometers, and more.

Alain Ehrenberg, "The Weariness of the Self: Diagnosing the History of Depression in the Contemporary Age" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0773546480 | 376 pages | EPUB | 2.2 MB Depression, once a subfield of neurosis, has become the most diagnosed mental disorder in the world. Why and how has depression become such a topical illness and what does it tell us about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressive symptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing that identifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnostic distinction between normal and pathological sadness - the one constant in the history of depression is its changing definition. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the study of the individual in modern democratic society, Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression is not a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathology arising from inadequacy in a social context where success is attributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of the illness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between its diagnostic history and changes in social norms and values. The first book to offer both a global sociological view of contemporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatric reasoning and its transformation - from the invention of electroshock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac - The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact.

The Family in Roman Egypt: A Comparative Approach to Intergenerational Solidarity and Conflict by Sabine R. Huebner 2013 | ISBN: 1107011132, 1108438695 | English | 276 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This study captures the dynamics of the everyday family life of the common people in Roman Egypt, a social strata that constituted the vast majority of any pre-modern society but rarely figures in ancient sources or in modern scholarship. The documentary papyri and, above all, the private letters and the census returns provide us with a wealth of information on these people not available for any other region of the ancient Mediterranean. The book discusses such things as family composition and household size and the differences between urban and rural families, exploring what can be ascribed to cultural patterns, economic considerations and/or individual preferences by setting the family in Roman Egypt into context with other pre-modern societies where families adopted such strategies to deal with similar exigencies of their daily lives. |
