 Mano Singham, "The Great Paradox of Science: Why Its Conclusions Can Be Relied Upon Even Though They Cannot Be Proven" English | ISBN: 0190055057 | 2019 | 320 pages | PDF | 4 MB Science has revolutionized our lives and continues to show inexorable progress today. It may seem obvious that this must be because its theories are steadily getting better and approaching the truth about the world. After all, what could science be progressing toward, if not the truth? But scholarship in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science offers little support for such a sanguine view.

The Forensic Evaluation of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Handbook for Clinicians and Attorneys By Gregory Murrey Ph.D. 2000 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 0849320356 | PDF | 2 MB Few medical and legal professionals would have trouble locating a book on traumatic brain injury and forensic neuropsychology. But to locate a text on the forensic assessment process and clinical issues of TBI is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Very few, if any, works exist on the subject. The Forensic Evaluation of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Handbook for Clinicians and Attorneys fills this void. It provides both the clinician involved in forensic examinations and the legal professional involved in litigation or legal proceedings of personal injury with a general overview of the legal issues and assessment process in TBI cases.The book begins with an overview of key issues involved in the forensic assessment of TBI, including definitions and medical diagnostic terminology of interest to the forensic examiner and legal professional. Subsequent chapters provide an overview of the neurologic, neuropsychological and psychological forensic assessment process specific to brain injury cases. The final portion of the book focuses on the forensic examiner as expert witness.  Conor McCarthy, "The Cambridge Introduction to Edward Said " English | ISBN: 0521864534 | 2010 | 170 pages | AZW3 | 597 KB One of the most famous literary critics of the twentieth century, Edward Said's work has been hugely influential far beyond academia. As a prominent advocate for the Palestinian cause and a noted music critic, Said redefined the role of the public intellectual. In his books, as scholarly as they are readable, he challenged conventional critical demarcations between disciplines. His major opus, Orientalism, is a key text in postcolonial studies that continues to influence as well as challenge scholars in the field. Conor McCarthy introduces the reader to Said's major works and examines how his work and life were intertwined. He explains recurring themes in Said's writings on literature and empire, on intellectuals and literary theory, on music and on the Israel/Palestine conflict. This concise, informative and clearly written introduction for students beginning to study Said is ideally set up to explain the complexities of his work to new audiences.  C. V. Jones, "The Buddhist Self: On Tathāgatagarbha and Ātman" English | ISBN: 082488342X | 2020 | 316 pages | PDF | 9 MB The assertion that there is nothing in the constitution of any person that deserves to be considered the self (ātman)―a permanent, unchanging kernel of personal identity in this life and those to come―has been a cornerstone of Buddhist teaching from its inception. Whereas other Indian religious systems celebrated the search for and potential discovery of one's "true self," Buddhism taught about the futility of searching for anything in our experience that is not transient and ephemeral. But a small yet influential set of Mahāyāna Buddhist texts, composed in India in the early centuries CE, taught that all sentient beings possess at all times, and across their successive lives, the enduring and superlatively precious nature of a Buddha. This was taught with reference to the enigmatic expression tathāgatagarbha―the "womb" or "chamber" for a Buddha―which some texts refer to as a person's true self.

The Art of Self Defense: A do-it-yourself, self-defense guide for security personnel and for the lay-man, 2nd Edition by Christopher Fernandes, Lazarus Mascarenhas 2021 | ISBN: 8193468902 | English | 100 pages | PDF | 14 MB In the past few decades, there has been a phenomenal increase in crime and consequently the need for protection. Citizens have been licensed to have personal pistols that are expensive, or provided with police protection, which again is costly and a burden on the police force or private security agencies. The propagating of the martial arts while equipping people to protect themselves substitutes "fire-arms" with the strength of the arms, legs, feet,..... the entire body. From firearms that can be destructive and fatal, the martial arts without necessary being fatal, can equip an individual with adequate security through self defense that is effective and controlled. Self defense through the martial arts will not only make individuals more secure and society safer but lessen the burden and tasks of the police. Training in the martial arts will also contribute to the general health and well being of its adherents. The martial arts a collective accumulation of the experience and insights of centuries and in-depth study of the human body and its strong and weak points have gone into the creation of a scientific system of self defense.In ancient times it was not unusual for a student to trudge over a thousand miles, scaling high mountains and crossing huge rivers and traveling through dangerous forests to seek the teaching of the great master. It was common practice that subtle techniques, unique experiences and special knowledge were made esoteric and only handed down from father to son and master to selected disciple. Today, even though travel is simplified to eliminate its hardships its still not easy to come across a good teacher who has the knowledge and is willing to hand his secrets over to anyone who knocks at his door.  Technological Turf Wars: A Case Study of the Computer Antivirus Industry By Jessica R. Johnston 2008 | 233 Pages | ISBN: 1592138829 | PDF | 6 MB I found Technological Turf Wars to be an engaging and revealing look into the anti-virus (AV) industry. While I expected the book to contain more details on AV or malware from a technical standpoint, I still found it was a great read. The book exposes many of the industry paradigms and idiosyncrasies. It also highlighted how AV companies operate vis a vis their customers and their peers. I especially liked the indictment of a members only knowledge club and the inherent dangers in such an arrangement.
