 The FAL Rifle Classic Edition 1998 | ISBN: 0889351686 | English | 827 Pages | PDF | 650 MB [center]  Peter Singer, "The Expanding Circle: Ethics, Evolution, and Moral Progress" English | ISBN 10: 0691150699 | 2011 | PDF | 232 pages | 11,1 MB What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology-especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism?  The Evolution of the Chinese Internet: Creative Visibility in the Digital Public by Shaohua Guo English | ISBN: 1503613771, 1503614433 | 326 pages | EPUB | December 15, 2020 | 0.97 Mb Despite widespread consensus that China's digital revolution was sure to bring about massive democratic reforms, such changes have not come to pass. While scholars and policy makers alternate between predicting change and disparaging a stubbornly authoritarian regime, in this book Shaohua Guo demonstrates how this dichotomy misses the far more complex reality. The Evolution of the Chinese Internet traces the emergence and maturation of one of the most creative digital cultures in the world through four major technological platforms: the bulletin board system, the blog, the microblog, and WeChat. Guo transcends typical binaries of freedom and control, to argue that Chinese Internet culture displays a uniquely sophisticated interplay between multiple extremes, and that its vibrancy is dependent on these complex negotiations. In contrast to the flourishing of research findings on what is made invisible online, this book examines the driving mechanisms that grant visibility to particular kinds of user-generated content. Offering a systematic account of how and why an ingenious Internet culture has been able to thrive, Guo highlights the pivotal roles that media institutions, technological platforms, and creative practices of Chinese netizens have played in shaping culture on- and offline.  The Electron: New Theory and Experiment by David Hestenes English | PDF | 1991 | 405 Pages | ISBN : 9401055823 | 34.6 MB techniques, and raises new issues of physical interpretation as well as possibilities for deepening the theory.

The Economic Breakthrough: How to Monitor GDP Growth or Contraction and Boost a Country's Economy by Clifton Chambers English | 2021 | ASIN: B08RDGRYXW | 75 Pages | EPUB | 2 MB  The DevOps Toolkit: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints English | 2020 | ISBN: n/a | 419 Pages | PDF EPUB MOBI | 44 MB Unlike my other books where I typically dive into a single tool or a single process, this time, I chose a different approach. Instead of going to great lengths trying to help someone become proficient in one thing, this time, I am trying to give you a quick introduction into many different tools and processes. We will skip the potentially lengthy discussions and in-depth exercises. What I want, this time, is to help you make decisions. Which tool works the best for a given task? What should we explore in more depth, and what is a waste of time? The goal is not to learn everything about a tool in detail but rather to dive into many concepts and a plethora of tools right away. The aim is to get you up-to-speed fast while producing useful "real world" results. Think of each chapter as a crash-course into something with the outcome that you can use right away.  The Design and Analysis of Algorithms by Dexter C. Kozen English | PDF | 1992 | 327 Pages | ISBN : 146128757X | 20.8 MB These are my lecture notes from CS681: Design and Analysis of Algo rithms, a one-semester graduate course I taught at Cornell for three consec utive fall semesters from '88 to '90. The course serves a dual purpose: to cover core material in algorithms for graduate students in computer science preparing for their PhD qualifying exams, and to introduce theory students to some advanced topics in the design and analysis of algorithms.  Thomas Pinney, "The City of Vines: A History of Wine in Los Angeles" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1597143987 | 352 pages | EPUB | 24.5 MB Winner of the 2016 California Historical Society Book Award! The latest title from the author of A History of Wine in America recounts the beginnings of California's world renowned wine trade-a story set not in Napa but in the isolated pueblo now called Los Angeles. With incisive analysis and a touch of dry humor, The City of Vines chronicles winemaking in Los Angeles from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century through its decline in the 1950s. Thomas Pinney returns the megalopolis to the prickly pear-studded lands upon which Mission grapes grew for the production of claret, port, sherry, angelica, and hock. From these rural beginnings Pinney reconstructs the entire course of winemaking in a sweeping narrative, punctuated by accounts of particular enterprises including Anaheim's foundation as a German winemaking settlement and the undertakings of vintners scrambling for market dominance. Yet Pinney also shows Los Angeles's wine industry to be beholden to the forces that shaped all California under the flags of Spain, Mexico, and the United States: colonial expansion dependent on labor of indigenous peoples; the Gold Rush population boom; transcontinental railroads; rapid urbanization; and Prohibition. This previously untold story uncovers an era when California wine meant Los Angeles wine, and reveals the lasting ways in which the wine industry shaped the nascent metropolis.  Constance Hoffman Berman, "The Cistercian Evolution: The Invention of a Religious Order in Twelfth-Century Europe" English | 2010 | ISBN: 0812221028 | 336 pages | PDF | 23,9 MB According to the received history, the Cistercian order was founded in Cîteaux, France, in 1098 by a group of Benedictine monks who wished for a stricter community. They sought a monastic life that called for extreme asceticism, rejection of feudal revenues, and manual labor for monks.
