 Srinivasan Gopalakrishnan, Saggam Narendar, "Wave Propagation in Nanostructures: Nonlocal Continuum Mechanics Formulations" English | 2013 | pages: 365 | ISBN: 331901031X | PDF | 21,2 mb Wave Propagation in Nanostructures describes the fundamental and advanced concepts of waves propagating in structures that have dimensions of the order of nanometers. The book is fundamentally based on non-local elasticity theory, which includes scale effects in the continuum model. The book predominantly addresses wave behavior in carbon nanotubes and Graphene structures, although the methods of analysis provided in this text are equally applicable to other nanostructures.  War Dance at Fort Marion: Plains Indian War Prisoners By Brad D. Lookingbill 2006 | 305 Pages | ISBN: 0806137398 | PDF | 2 MB War Dance at Fort Marion tells the powerful story of Kiowa, Cheyenne, Comanche, and Arapaho chiefs and warriors detained as prisoners of war by the U.S. Army. Held from 1875 until 1878 at Fort Marion in Saint Augustine, Florida, they participated in an educational experiment, initiated by Captain Richard Henry Pratt, as an alternative to standard imprisonment. This book, the first complete account of a unique cohort of Native peoples, brings their collective story to life and pays tribute to their individual talents and achievements. Throughout their incarceration, the Plains Indian leaders followed Pratt's rules and met his educational demands even as they remained true to their own identities. Their actions spoke volumes about the sophistication of their cultural traditions, as they continued to practice Native dances and ceremonies and also illustrated their history and experiences in the now-famous ledger drawing books. Brad D. Lookingbill's War Dance at Fort Marion draws on numerous primary documents, especially Native American accounts, to reconstruct the war prisoners' story. The author shows that what began as Pratt's effort to end the Indians' resistance to their imposed exile transformed into a new vision to mold them into model citizens in mainstream American society, though this came at the cost of intense personal suffering and loss for the Indians.
 David Der-wei Wang, "Utopia and Utopianism in the Contemporary Chinese Context: Texts, Ideas, Spaces" English | ISBN: 988852836X | 2020 | 232 pages | PDF | 4 MB Utopia and Utopianism in the Contemporary Chinese Context: Texts, Ideas, Spaces decisively demonstrates the extent to which utopianism has shaped political thought, cultural imaginaries, and social engagement after it was introduced into the Chinese context in the nineteenth century. In fact, pursuit of utopia has often led to action―such as the Chinese Revolution and the Umbrella Movement―and contested consequences. Covering a time span that goes from the late Qing to our days, the authors show that few ideas have been as influencing as utopia, which has compellingly shaped the imaginaries that underpin China's historical change. Utopianism contributed to the formation of the Chinese state itself―shaping the thought of key figures of the late Qing and early Republican eras such as Kang Youwei and Sun Yat-sen―and outlived the labyrinthine debates of the second halve of the twentieth century, both under Mao's rule and during the post-socialist era. Even in the current times of dystopian narratives, a period in which utopia seems to be less influential than in the past, its manifestations persistently provide lifelines against fatalism or cynicism. This collection shows how profoundly utopian ideas have nurtured both the thought of crucial figures during these historical times, the new generation of mainland Chinese and Sinophone intellectuals, and the hopes of twenty-first-century Hong Kong activists.  Alessandro Fiori, "Trends and Applications of Text Summarization Techniques " English | ISBN: 152259373X | 2019 | 335 pages | PDF | 10 MB While the availability of electronic documents increases exponentially with advancing technology, the time spent to process this wealth of resourceful information decreases. Content analysis and information extraction must be aided by summarization methods to quickly parcel pieces of interest and allow for succinct user familiarization in a simple, efficient manner.  Transparency in Biology: Making the Invisible Visible by Kohei Soga English | PDF | 2021 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 9811596263 | 13 MB This book explains transparency in biology with emphasis on bending and absorption, which together are the essence of transparency. The reader is provided with an understanding of why the interior of the body can be made to appear transparent through the application of elementary physics.  Jean Klein, "Transmission of the Flame" English | 1994 | ISBN: 1877769223 | 267 pages | True PDF | 13 MB Dialoges between Jean Klein and his students and friends during recent seminars in the United States and Europe form the text of this illuminating book. In many different settings and circumstances Klein casts and recasts the teaching of Advaita addressing each individual in his or her uniqueness while at the same time demonstrating the oneness of being. these far-reaching exchanges-exploring almost every aspect of self-knowledge-show that it is only through living fully in not knowing that we can awaken to our real nature: the I Am of pure consciousness  Towards Digital Intelligence Society: A Knowledge-based Approach by Ján Paralič English | PDF | 2021 | 212 Pages | ISBN : 3030638715 | 12.9 MB This book aims to provide readers with up-to-date knowledge on how to make these technologies smarter.

The Struggle for Recognition: The Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts By Axel Honneth, Joel Anderson 1996 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 0262581477 | PDF | 35 MB This is a most remarkable book. The exposition and critical discussion are conducted with exemplary clarity. It may change intellectual lives; it will certainly attract a great deal of attention for many years to come.'' -- William Outhwaite, University of Sussex ''Honneth's book casts a flood of light on what has been an area of darkness, the place where the philosophical tradition and modern politics meet and interweave. Since neither is really comprehensible without the other, this work is essential reading for those who would understand either. It is a pathbreaking study, which ought to be at the center of the debate for many years to come.'' -- Charles Taylor, McGill University In this pathbreaking study, Axel Honneth argues that ''the struggle for recognition'' is, and should be, at the center of social conflicts. Moving smoothly between moral philosophy and social theory, Honneth offers insights into such issues as the social forms of recognition and nonrecognition, the moral basis of interaction in human conflicts, the relation between the recognition model and conceptions of modernity, the normative basis of social theory, and the possibility of mediating between Hegel and Kant. |
