 Jeffery Combs, "The Procrastination Cure: 7 Steps To Stop Putting Life Off" English | ISBN: 1601631995 | 2011 | 224 pages | MOBI | 1367 KB 20 percent of people admit to being procrastinators and an untold number never admit to it at all. Procrastination is an epidemic that can only be eliminated if the underlying causes are uncovered. Yet there's very little understanding of how to let go of procrastination, how to recognize and diffuse the feelings that lead to it, and most importantly, how to develop the ability to both produce and relax without guilt.  Belgrade Circle, Obrad Savic, Terry Eagleton, "The Politics of Human Rights" English | 2000 | ISBN:1859847277, 1859843735 | 370 pages | PDF | 29.4 MB This volume sets out to describe the political and philosophical underpinnings of the idea of human rights by bringing together a collection of original essays by a group of highly distinguished theorists. Recognizing that Western insistence on the universality of the concept of human rights can also function as diplomatic cover for post-colonial interventions, it insists that the campaign for human rights must take into account the varied social and economic environments in different nation states that affect the ways such demands can be implemented. This campaign is most effective when demonstrating international solidarity with those whose basic rights are jeopardized or denied.  The Philosophy of Mathematics: Translated from Cours de Philosophie Positive by W. M. Gillespie By Auguste Comte 2005 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0486442497 | PDF | 20 MB Written by the nineteenth-century French philosophical founder of positivism, this comprehensive map of mathematical science assigns to each part of the complex whole its true position and value. The two-part treatment begins with a general view of mathematical analysis and advances to algebra, continuing with an exploration of geometry's ancient and modern methods.  Daniel Borzutzky, "The Performance of Becoming Human" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1936767465 | 98 pages | EPUB | 0.283 MB Following in the path of his acclaimed collections The Book of Interfering Bodies (Nightboat, 2011) and In the Murmurs of the Rotten Carcass Economy (Nightboat, 2015), Daniel Borzutzky returns to confront the various ways nation-states and their bureaucracies absorb and destroy communities and economies. In The Performance of Becoming Human, the bay of Valparaiso merges into the western shore of Lake Michigan, where Borzutzky continues his poetic investigation into the political and economic violence shared by Chicago and Chile, two places integral to his personal formation. To become human is to navigate borders, including the fuzzy borders of institutions, the economies of privatization, overdevelopment, and underdevelopment, under which humans endure state-sanctioned and systemic abuses in cities, villages, deserts. Borzutzky, whose writing Eileen Myles has described as "violent, perverse, and tender" in its portrayal of a "kaleidoscopic journey of American horror and global horror," adds another chapter to a growing and important compendium of work that asks what it means to a be both a unitedstatesian and a globalized subject whose body is "shared between the earth, the state, and the bank."  The New Business Road Test: What entrepreneurs and investors should do before launching a lean start-up by John Mullins English | 2018 | ISBN: 1292208392 | 362 Pages | true EPUB | 2.58 MB  The New Basics: Education and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age By David D. Thornburg 2002 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 0871206560 | PDF | 2 MB The increasing globalization of work--coupled with rapid advancements in communications technology--is making age-old teaching methods irrelevant. To thrive in the plugged-in future workplace, students today need to learn a whole new set of fundamental skills. According to David Thornburg, we are on the cusp of a completely new era. The conventions of interoffice hierarchies, deskbound workers, and long-term employment contracts will quickly give way to a ''telematic'' model of work, in which workers are free to hop from client to client and country to country at the speed of a DSL connection. Today's curriculum is predicated on yesterday's realities, and must be reexamined to better reflect the digital age. This book explores The foundations of the future economy, The characteristics needed to succeed in the emerging world, and The changes we need to make in education to ensure that all students leave school prepared to face the challenges of a redefined world. The New Basics: Education and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age provides an in-depth discussion of the skills necessary for professional success in the coming years, along with strategies on how best to teach them in the classroom. Filled to capacity with visionary observations, practical suggestions for innovative instruction, and engaging discussions of the historical precedents for remodeled curriculum, this book is essential for those seeking to address the pressing issues of the new millennium.  The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness: How to Use Soft Skills to Get Hard Results by Audrey Tang English | 2019 | ISBN: 1292248408 | 256 Pages | true EPUB | 1.48 MB  Tim Saunders, "The Island: Nijmegen to Arnhem" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0850528615 | EPUB | pages: 191 | 70.3 mb Having fought their way up fifty miles of Hell's Highway and through Nijmegen, XXX Corps was just ten miles from Arnhem and the 1st British Airborne Division. Here it found itself on an island of flat land between the Waal at Nijmegen and the Rhine at Arnhem. The situation was increasingly bad with the remainder of II SS Panzer Corps in the area and German counter attacks on Hell's Highway preventing the Allies applying their material superiority. The Guards Armoured and then 43rd Wessex Infantry Division took turns to lead before reaching the Rhine opposite the paratroopers in the Oosterbeek Perimeter.  The Historical Imagination of G.K. Chesterton: Locality, Patriotism, and Nationalism By Joseph R. McCleary 2009 | 173 Pages | ISBN: 0415991757 | PDF | 2 MB This study examines a selection of Chesterton’s novels, poetry, and literary criticism and outlines the distinctive philosophy of history that emerges from these writings. Looking at Chesteron's relationship with and influence upon authors including William Cobbett, Sir Walter Scott, Belloc, Shaw, H.G. Wells, Christopher Dawson, Evelyn Waugh, and Marshall McLuhan, McCleary contends that Chesterton’s recurring use of the themes of locality, patriotism, and nationalism embodies a distinctive understanding of what gives history its coherence. The study concludes that Chesterton’s emphasis on locality is the hallmark of his historical philosophy in that it blends the concepts of free will, specificity, and creatureliness which he uses to make sense of history.  Ezio Portis, Alberto Acquadro, Sergio Lanteri, "The Globe Artichoke Genome" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030200116 | PDF | pages: 238 | 12.3 mb This book presents the latest information on the genetics and genomics of the globe artichoke. It focuses on the latest findings, tools and strategies employed in genome sequencing, physical map development and QTL analyses, as well as genomic resources. The re-sequencing of four globe artichoke genotypes, representative of the core varietal types in cultivation, as well as the genotype of cultivated cardoon, has recently been completed. Here, the five genomes are reconstructed at the chromosome scale and annotated. Moreover, functional SNP analyses highlight numerous genetic variants, which represent key tools for dissecting the path from sequence variation to phenotype, as well as for designing effective diagnostic markers. |
