 Facing the Revocation: Huguenot Families, Faith, and the King's Will by Carolyn Chappell Lougee 2016 | ISBN: 0190241314, 019753354X | English | 488 pages | EPUB | 11 MB Winner- Best Scholarly Work, National Huguenot Society, 2018  John Montgomery, David Bodznick, "Evolution of the cerebellar sense of self" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0198758863 | PDF | pages: 229 | 106.3 mb The cerebellum is an intriguing component of the brain. In humans it occupies only 10% of the brain volume, yet has approximately 69 billion neurons; that is 80% of the nerve cells in the brain. The cerebellum first arose in jawed vertebrates such as sharks, and sharks in fact have an additional cerebellum-like structure that works as an adaptive filter. The function of shark cerebellum-like structures is to discriminate 'self' from 'other' in sensory inputs. With the evolution of the true cerebellum the adaptive filter functionality was adopted for motor control and paved the way for athleticism and movement finesse that we see in swimming, running, climbing and flying vertebrates.  Essential Differential Geometry: The Language of General Relativity (Fiat Lux) by Naveen Balaji Umasankar English | August 6, 2018 | ISBN: 1717858333 | 95 pages | PDF | 2.02 Mb This book lays the mathematical foundations required to understand the majestic grandeur and essence of General Relativity (GR). This book provides a basic introduction to Differential Geometry required for studying GR. It's unique pictorial and analogy-driven approach provides a vivid experience to the reader. This book is for the highly-motivated undergraduate students of maths or physics who want to learn advanced concepts of maths and it's applications in physics in a unique and intuitive way. The mathematical level of the seven chapters of the book is that of undergraduates of mathematics or physics. The book assumes the reader to possess a fair knowledge of Special Relativity and Electromagnetism and aims at communicating the concepts as intuitively as possible, constantly promoting the avant-garde and consciously avoiding the vicissitudes one faces in the conventionalist approach to physics and the labyrinthine choice of words in archaic texts.  Ulf Andersson Ørom, "Enhancer RNAs: Methods and Protocols" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1493940333 | PDF | pages: 265 | 7.3 mb This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the experimental and computational methodologies used to study the function of long non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) expressed from enhancers. Chapter detail both wet-lab and dry-lab techniques and annotating long ncRNAs and exploring transcription by assessing where transcription starts and generally how it occurs.Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.  Elements of Game Design by The MIT Press English | August 18, 2020 | ISBN: 0262043912 | 256 pages | MOBI | 5.45 Mb An introduction to the basic concepts of game design, focusing on techniques used in commercial game production.  Egyptian Mathematics by The Open University English | 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08NDDX952 | 52 pages | PDF | 0.55 Mb This course investigates what we now know of Egyptian mathematics, and how we know it.  Joost Beuving, Geert Vries, "Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry" English | 2014 | ISBN: 9089647651 | PDF | pages: 221 | 4.5 mb Naturalistic inquiry is about studying people in everyday circumstances by ordinary means. It strives to blend in, to respect people in their daily lives, to take their actions and experiences seriously, and to build on these carefully. Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry offers guidance, combining thoughtful reflection with practical tips. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students in social science; for practitioners in social work, healthcare, policy advice, and organizational consultancy; and for all who have a genuine interest in society and its members.  Digital Storm: Fresh Business Strategies from the Electronic Marketplace by Philipp Gerbert and Alex Birch English | ISBN: 1841121681 | 2001 | PDF | 256 pages | 8,8 mb As the dust settles on the Internet boom, we can all benefit by taking a close look at what we learned. Companies like Enron were able to revolutionize their businesses and are even more excited about the future.  Democracy, Civil Society and Governance by Ghanshyam Shah 2019 | ISBN: 9353289696, 9353281792 | English | 260 pages | EPUB | 0.7 MB Civil society is often expected to rise above historical and contemporary socio-economic forces such as the neoliberal economic policy and undertake the transformation of a stratified society to an egalitarian society conducive to democracy. Democracy, Civil Society and Governance is an endeavour to critically examine such expectations. The book focuses on the interplay of democracy, civil society and public policy implementation, and addresses the role of civil society in terms of the changing nature of the economy and the condition of the working class. It highlights the reinforcement of hegemonic value systems by the contemporary mainstream civil society as well as the role of the pro-poor civil society in supporting and mobilizing the disadvantaged for their rights and justice. The book also critically evaluates government policies and their implementation in the domains of education, public health, employment, social upliftment and environment.  Dear DeeDee by Kat Meads 2020 | ISBN: 164603015X | English | 174 pages | EPUB | 2 MB West Coast-based Aunt K (the author) writes to niece DeeDee, ostensibly to bring her up to speed on family history and share anecdotes about their North Carolina relatives, past and present. The letters soon evolve into broader discussions of community, loss, love, ambition, leaving the South (in body, if not mind) and what it means to negotiate life as a female. Integral to the correspondence are books and writers (from Burroughs to Woolf), landscapes and cityscapes in North Carolina, California, New Mexico, New York, East Sussex and elsewhere. A persistent theme: the inter-weavings of person and place. It is also, in the sum of its parts, deeply concerned with the question of which elements (genetic and circumstantial) conspire to make us who we are. |
