 Clive Harber, "Schooling for Peaceful Development in Post-Conflict Societies: Education for Transformation?" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030176886 | PDF | pages: 318 | 2.5 mb This book explores how, and if, formal education affects peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. As schooling is often negatively implicated in violent conflict, the author highlights the widely expressed need to 'build back better' and 'transform' schooling by changing both its structures and processes, and its curriculum. Drawing upon research from a wide range of post-conflict developing societies including Cambodia, Colombia and Kenya, the author examines whether there is any empirical support for the idea that schooling can be transformed so it can contribute to more peaceful and democratic societies. In doing so, the author reveals how the 'myth' of building back better is perpetuated by academics and international organisations, and explains why formal education in post-conflict developing societies is so impervious to radical change. This important volume will appeal to students and scholars of education in post-conflict societies.

Kevin Ivison GM, "Red One: A Bomb Disposal Expert on the Front Line" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0753828308, 0297860550 | 256 pages | PDF | 8.4 MB The gripping true story of a young bomb disposal officer and his terrifying experiences in Iraq facing daily rocket attacks and terrorist bombs, 'Red One' is a gut-wrenching tale of heroism and survival.  Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma (Contemporary Neurology Series) 5th Edition by Jerome B. Posner, Clifford B. Saper, Nicholas D. Schiff, Jan Claassen 2019 | ISBN: 0190208872 | English | 520 pages | EPUB | 20 MB Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology of structural lesions causing coma, and the specific disease states that result in coma. Chapter five is a comprehensive treatment of the many causes of metabolic coma. Chapter 6 review psychiatric causes of unresponsiveness and how to identify and treat them. Chapters 7 and 8 review the overall emergency treatment of comatose patients, followed by the treatment of specific causes of coma. Chapter 9 examines the long term outcomes of coma, including the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state, and how they can be distinguished, and their implications for eventual useful recovery. Chapter 10 reviews the topic of brain death and the standards for examination of a patient that are required to make the determination of brain death. The final chapter 11 is by J.J. Fins, a medical ethicist who was invited by the other authors to write an essay on the ethics of diagnosis and treatment of patients who, by definition, have no way to approve of or communicate about their wishes.  Wai-Fah Chen, "Plasticity in Reinforced Concrete " English | ISBN: 1932159746 | 2007 | 474 pages | PDF | 133 MB An indispensable reference that presents a unified treatment of mathematical models of concrete structural analysis. In Part I, the author considers the experimental data regarding stress and strain characteristics of concrete under biaxial and multiaxial stress states and presents empirical equations for modulus and fracture strength. Part II discusses concrete elasticity, generalized failure, and fracture criteria, while the final part addresses concrete plasticity with applications of limit analysis and finite element analysis to concrete and reinforced structures. An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1982, 474pp.  Wai-Fah Chen, "Plasticity for Structural Engineers " English | ISBN: 1932159754 | 2007 | 606 pages | PDF | 53 MB This comprehensive text addresses the elastic and plastic behavior of general structural elements under combined stress. It sets out to examine the stress strain behaviors of materials under simple test conditions and proceeds to show how these behaviors can be generalized under combined stress. An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by Springer-Verlag, New York, 1988, 606pp.  Jan Timman, "On The Attack: The Art of Attacking Chess According to the Modern Masters" English | ISBN: 9056911872 | 2006 | 240 pages | PDF | 9 MB A world famous grandmaster explains the modern style of attacking chess to amateur chess players. Jan Timman teaches how to build up an advantage in the game and how to convert that advantage into an aggressive strategy and into great attacking moves. He has selected the most instructive attacking games of great players like Kasparov, Topalov, Karpov, Shirov, and Judit Polgar in order to explain to amateur chess players the basic ideas of modern attacks and their successful execution.
