 Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean Boyhood, 2nd Edition by Richard E. Kim English | February 5th, 2014 | ISBN: 0520268121 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 1.44 MB In this autobiography, Richard E. Kim paints seven vivid scenes from a boyhood and early adolescence in Korea at the height of the Japanese occupation during WWII, 1932 to 1945. Taking its title from the grim fact that the occupiers forced the Koreans to renounce their own names and adopt Japanese names instead, the book follows one Korean family through the Japanese occupation to the surrender of Japan and dissolution of the Japanese empire. Examining the intersections of Japanese and Korean history that influenced Korea-Japan relations at the time, Lost Names is at once a loving memory of family, an ethnography of Zainichi Koreans in 1930s Japan, and a vivid portrayal of human spirit in a time of suffering and survival.  Lev Shestov: Philosopher of the Sleepless Night by Matthew Beaumont 2021 | ISBN: 1350151149 | English | 216 pages | PDF | 8 MB The Jewish philosopher Lev Shestov (1866-1938) is perhaps the great forgotten thinker of the twentieth century, but one whose revival seems timely and urgent in the twenty-first century. An important influence on Georges Bataille, Albert Camus, Gilles Deleuze and many others, Shestov developed a fascinating anti-Enlightenment philosophy that critiqued the limits of reason and triumphantly affirmed an ethics of hope in the face of hopelessness.  Lead Babies: Breaking the Cycle of Learning Disabilities, Declining IQ, ADHD, Behavior Problems, and Autism By Joanna Cerazy MEd, Sandra Cottingham PhD 2009 | 213 Pages | ISBN: 1601641923 | PDF | 10 MB This groundbreaking study reveals the continuing danger that lead contamination presents to health-particularly in the earliest stages of life. Disclosure about the lead content in house paint, gasoline, canned food, and tap water revolutionized the manufacturing of those products a generation ago, but lead-based products are still produced and pose a health hazard as lead remains in the environment years after its initial use. The deleterious effects of lead on early cognitive development are well documented, but the data in this reference regarding in utero lead transfer contains critical new information that shows the effects on infants and families. Week-by-week brain development in unborn and newborn children is demonstrated, explaining lead's damage potential at each stage and how that household sources and surroundings-including soil, plumbing, imported canned goods, and house dust-are outlined and simple precautions that can reduce or minimize exposure are discussed. With an awareness that has allowed a generation of injured children to be born, and empowers the reader to break this destructive cycle.

Nowadays, they are used as powerful languages for projective, Euclidean and other classical geometries. This book contains the author's most recent, original development of Grassmann-Cayley algebra and geometric algebra and their applications in automated reasoning of classical geometries. It includes three advanced invariant algebras - Cayley bracket algebra, conformal geometric algebra, and null bracket algebra - for highly efficient geometric computing. They form the theory of advanced invariants, and capture the intrinsic beauty of geometric languages and geometric computing. Apart from their applications in discrete and computational geometry, the new languages are currently being used in computer vision, graphics and robotics by many researchers worldwide.  Human Evolutionary Biology: Human Anatomy and Physiology from an Evolutionary Perspective By Arndt Von Hippel 1995 | 576 Pages | ISBN: 0961580828 | PDF | 2 MB This is a remarkable book, despite some flaws. In a fast paced, informal, conversational voice, von Hippel presents an incredible amount of information, most of it very interesting. The emphasis is on physiology, not anatomy, and it is grounded in evolutionary concepts. Thus, while things work remarkably well, designs are certainly not what you would get starting from scratch - although Hippel sometimes shows that there are so many conflicting constraints that many apparently simpler designs would not work. Hippel, a doctor, is interested in clinical problems and treatments, as well as evolution and how things work in other life forms. He is also the type of scientist who draws scientific lessons from the most mundane phenomenon of everyday life. I personally enjoyed his sense of humor and crusty manner, although you might not if you are a lawyer or politician. The problem with the book is that while Hippel explains things clearly enough, there is a limit to how well you can convey material without the graphical aids found in good textbooks, nor is Hippel that clear in his own mind about just what kind of background he expects his readers to have. I tended to enjoy most of the sections I was not fully following: I would read quickly and pick up interesting nuggets. Still, readers without any background in molecular biology are likely to miss a lot and may have difficulty with the first few chapters.  How to Survive: Self-Reliance in Extreme Circumstances by John Hudson English | January 5th, 2021 | ISBN: 1682686450 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 1.58 MB Gripping stories of near disaster and survival-and the lessons to be gleaned from them-from the British military's chief survival instructor.
