How and why did those empires gain such power, and lose it? What legacies did they leave?  The Global Police State by William I Robinson English | Aug 20, 2020 | ISBN: 0745341632, 0745341640 | 208 pages | PDF + EPUB | 1,2 + 0,6 MB As the world becomes ever more unequal, people become ever more 'disposable'. Today, governments systematically exclude sections of their populations from society through heavy-handed policing. But it doesn't always go to plan. William I. Robinson exposes the nature and dynamics of this out-of-control system, arguing for the urgency of creating a movement capable of overthrowing it.  The Evolution of Music Through Culture and Science by Peter Townsend English | 2020 | ISBN: 0198848404 | 283 Pages | PDF | 5.6 MB  The Crisis of Expertise by Gil Eyal English | November 19, 2019 | ISBN: 0745665772, 0745665780 | EPUB | 208 pages | 0.3 MB In recent political debates there has been a significant change in the valence of the word "experts" from a superlative to a near pejorative, typically accompanied by a recitation of experts' many failures and misdeeds. In topics as varied as Brexit, climate change, and vaccinations there is a palpable mistrust of experts and a tendency to dismiss their advice. Are we witnessing, therefore, the "death of expertise," or is the handwringing about an "assault on science" merely the hysterical reaction of threatened elites?  The Construction Technology Handbook: Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence and Beyond by Hugh Seaton English | Jan 7, 2021 | ISBN: 111971995X | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB Tired of new software that doesn't seem to work in the field?

The Art of the Subject: Between Necessary Illusion and Speakable Desire in the Analytic Encounter by Mardy Ireland English | 2003 | ISBN 159051033X | 250 pages | PDF OCR | 3,2 MB A practicing psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist based in Berkeley, California, Ireland (New College of California) launches a theoretical and clinical engagement between two fields of psychoanalysis represented by Donald Winnicott and Jacques Lacan.  The Art of Digital Orchestration by Sam McGuire and Zbyněk Matějů English | Dec 29, 2020 | ISBN: 0367362759, 0367362740 | 280 pages | PDF | 42 MB The Art of Digital Orchestration explores how to replicate traditional orchestration techniques using computer technology, with a focus on respecting the music and understanding when using real performers is still the best choice.  Tales of Forgotten Chicago by Richard C. Lindberg English | 2020 | ISBN: 0809337819 | 279 Pages | ePUB | 5.73 MB  Sterile Insect Technique: Principles And Practice In Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management, 2nd edition by Victor A. Dyck, Jorge Hendrichs English | Feb 1, 2021 | ISBN: 0367474344 | 1216 pages | PDF | 36 MB The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT.  Smart Agriculture: Emerging Pedagogies of Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Internet of Things by Govind Singh Patel, Amrita Rai English | Feb 11, 2021 | ISBN: 0367535807 | 254 pages | PDF | 12 MB This book endeavours to highlight the untapped potential of Smart Agriculture for the innovation and expansion of the agriculture sector. The sector shall make incremental progress as it learns from associations between data over time through Artificial Intelligence, deep learning and Internet of Things applications. The farming industry and Smart agriculture develop from the stringent limits imposed by a farm's location, which in turn has a series of related effects with respect to supply chain management, food availability, biodiversity, farmers' decision-making and insurance, and environmental concerns among others. All of the above-mentioned aspects will derive substantial benefits from the implementation of a data-driven approach under the condition that the systems, tools and techniques to be used have been designed to handle the volume and variety of the data to be gathered. Contributions to this book have been solicited with the goal of uncovering the possibilities of engaging agriculture with equipped and effective profound learning algorithms. Most agricultural research centres are already adopting Internet of Things for the monitoring of a wide range of farm services, and there are significant opportunities for agriculture administration through the effective implementation of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Big Data and IoT structures. |
