 Dictionary of Analysis, Calculus, and Differential Equations By Douglas N. Clark 2000 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 0849303206 | PDF | 3 MB Clear, rigorous definitions of mathematical terms are crucial to good scientific and technical writing-and to understanding the writings of others. Scientists, engineers, mathematicians, economists, technical writers, computer programmers, along with teachers, professors, and students, all have the occasional-if not frequent-need for comprehensible, working definitions of mathematical expressions. To meet that need, CRC Press proudly introduces its Dictionary of Analysis, Calculus, and Differential Equations - the first published volume in the CRC Comprehensive Dictionary of Mathematics. More than three years in development, top academics and professionals from prestigious institutions around the world bring you more than 2,500 detailed definitions, written in a clear, readable style and complete with alternative meanings, and related references.  Depth: An Account of Scientific Explanation by Michael Strevens English | January 15, 2009 | ISBN: 0674031830, 0674062574 | PDF | 536 pages | 4.4 MB What does it mean for scientists to truly understand, rather than to merely describe, how the world works? Michael Strevens proposes a novel theory of scientific explanation and understanding that overhauls and augments the familiar causal approach to explanation. What is replaced is the test for explanatorily relevant causal information: Strevens discards the usual criterion of counterfactual dependence in favor of a criterion that turns on a process of progressive abstraction away from a fully detailed, physical causal story. The augmentations include the introduction of a new, non-causal explanatory relevance relation―entanglement―and an independent theory of the role of black-boxing and functional specification in explanation.  Michael N. Mitchell, "Data Management Using Stata: A Practical Handbook Ed 2" English | ISBN: 1597183180 | 2020 | 512 pages | PDF | 30 MB This second edition of Data Management Using Stata focuses on tasks that bridge the gap between raw data and statistical analysis. It has been updated throughout to reflect new data management features that have been added over the last 10 years. Such features include the ability to read and write a wide variety of file formats, the ability to write highly customized Excel files, the ability to have multiple Stata datasets open at once, and the ability to store and manipulate string variables stored as Unicode.  Dark Psychology: 2 BOOKS IN 1: The Complete Guide to Mind Control, Manipulation, Reverse Psychology, Secrets of Persuasion, How to Analyze People, Body ... Secrets of NLP by Shirley Reason English | 2021 | ASIN: B08T69427J | 200 Pages | EPUB | 2.31 MB  Amanda Lock Swarr, "Critical Transnational Feminist Praxis " English | ISBN: 1438429371 | 2010 | 244 pages | PDF | 1259 KB Investigates the theory and practice of transnational feminist approaches to scholarship and activism.  Creative Strategy: A Guide for Innovation by William Duggan Ph.D. English | December 4, 2012 | ISBN: 0231160526 | 176 pages | EPUB | 15 Mb William Duggan's 2007 book, Strategic Intuition, showed how innovation really happens in business and other fields and how that matches what modern neuroscience tells us about how creative ideas form in the human mind. In his new book, Creative Strategy, Duggan offers a step-by-step guide to help individuals and organizations put that same method to work for their own innovations.  Creating Literacy-Rich Schools for Adolescents By Gay Ivey, Douglas Fisher 2006 | 174 Pages | ISBN: 1416603212 | PDF | 2 MB We know that literacy is the key to learning in school, yet millions of middle and high school students lack the literacy skills they need to succeed. What can educators do? In Creating Literacy-Rich Schools for Adolescents , authors Gay Ivey and Douglas Fisher make a compelling case that all teachers-across the content areas-have a role to play in students' development of literacy, which they define as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing. Rather than focusing solely on reading instruction and the cliché that says "all teachers are teachers of reading," they urge teachers to incorporate rich literacy-based learning experiences into their classrooms, with the goal of helping students to learn and think across the curriculum. With research-based findings, engaging examples, and extensive lists of resources, Ivey and Fisher encourage readers to * Reexamine the materials, experiences, and expectations of the English/language arts classroom; * Use strategies to improve literacy in all the content areas and seek alternatives to the traditional textbook; * Make independent reading an important part of students' ongoing literacy development; * Design and use interventions that really work for struggling students; and * Consider the schoolwide elements-professional development, peer coaching, leadership, and assessment-that should be in place to support teachers and students.Essential questions provide the focus for each chapter, and Quality Indicators for Secondary Literacy help readers gauge where they are on the continuum of providing a meaningful literacy experience for students. Creating Literacy-Rich Schools for Adolescents will inspire educators to take up this challenge in their own school with new confidence that the work is worthwhile and achievable.
 Conquest by Law: How the Discovery of America Dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of Their Lands by Lindsay G. Robertson English | August 25, 2005 | ISBN-10: 019514869X | 272 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB Conquest by Law is an important contribution to the study of the extension of European ideas and governance to other parts of the world, and the work sheds considerable light on indigenous land policies in the United States.  Computationalism: New Directions By Matthias Scheutz 2002 | 223 Pages | ISBN: 0262194783 | PDF | 2 MB Classical computationalism--the view that mental states are computational states--has come under attack in recent years. Critics claim that in defining computation solely in abstract, syntactic terms, computationalism neglects the real-time, embodied, real-world constraints with which cognitive systems must cope. Instead of abandoning computationalism altogether, however, some researchers are reconsidering it, recognizing that real-world computers, like minds, must deal with issues of embodiment, interaction, physical implementation, and semantics. This book lays the foundation for a successor notion of computationalism. It covers a broad intellectual range, discussing historic developments of the notions of computation and mechanism in the computationalist model, the role of Turing machines and computational practice in artificial intelligence research, different views of computation and their role in the computational theory of mind, the nature of intentionality, and the origin of language.
