A fascinating read.  Windows 10 All-in-One For Dummies, 4th Edition by Woody Leonhard, Ciprian Rusen English | January 27th, 2021 | ISBN: 1119680573 | 994 pages | True EPUB | 54.34 MB Dig into the ins and outs of Windows 10  John Giacon, "Wiidhaa: An Introduction to Gamilaraay " English | ISBN: 1760463264 | 2020 | 308 pages | PDF | 2 MB The Gamilaraay language declined in use for many years after the colonisation of Australia. From around 1990, Gamilaraay people and others have been working to revive the language. This book draws on recent research into previous records and analyses of Gamilaraay and of the closely related, and better recorded, Yuwaalaraay. It provides an introduction to many aspects of the language including verbs, the case system and the extensive pronoun paradigm, in a format that students have found very helpful for the last 12 years.  When the King Took Flight By Timothy Tackett 2003 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 067401054X | PDF | 2 MB Though avid reader of Enlightenment history, if I had not had to read this book for class, I never would have picked it up. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for a pretty cover, but I saw this book everywhere in stores when it came out, which gave it the stigma of being "popular" history written for the non-historian. But since I *had* to read it, I honestly did go in hoping that my first impression was wrong and that I would like it. But no. I really, really disliked this book. Either Tackett is forgetful, or he assumes that the reader is. He defined a "cocarde" twice before page 150. Every time he mentioned Bailly, he felt the need to "remind" the reader who the man was, always saying something along the lines of "Bailly, astronomer and onetime friend of Benjamin Franklin." He repeats himself in a similar fashion over a number of people and subjects during the entire book. Perhaps someone new to the subject (probably Tackett's intended audience) would find the book more usetful, but I have my doubts. Tackett doesn't write very chronologically . Even as someone who has read a good many books on the French Revolution, I was still jarred by his strange order, which confused the points he was trying to make. He also leaves out a few things, such as many of the details of the Champs de Mars massacre. Whether or not Lafayette actually did give the order for troops to fire on the protesters, Tackett makes no mention of even the probability. Even Unger, whose rather poor biography of Lafayette does not (as I recall, it's been a while since I read the book) totally whitewash him in that respect! (And I'm a big Lafayette fan...) When the King Took Flight is bland, poorly written, and Tackett fails to tie most of it into his main point in a significant, insightful way. It seems like he wanted to stretch a small amount of material into enough pages to make a respectably sized book. I will admit that his efforts to try and figure out what various kinds of contemporaries thought were commendable. His documentation of the spread of information was the best part of the book. If it had been an essay of about 30-60 pages, it might have seemed more meaningful. Don't forget, "brevity is the soul of wit!"Authors to read instead: Hunt, Tilly, Bouloiseau.  When Someone You Love Is Kinky by Dossie Easton, Catherine A. Liszt English | September 22nd, 2011 | ISBN: 1890159239 | 156 pages | True EPUB | 3.55 MB When Someone You Love Is Kinky to help "non-kinky" folks understand and communicate with their kinky friends, partners, and relatives. Included are guidelines for dealing with the emotional turmoil of the coming-out process; brief and non-threatening descriptions of the commonest kinks (and ideas about why people enjoy them); suggestions for how to talk to your kinky friend or relative in ways that promote good communication; explanation of how kinky people keep themselves safe while exploring diverse sexualities; a glossary of commonly used terminology from the kink communities; a resource guide to help the reader find further information and support.  Henrik Jensen, "Weber and Durkheim: A Methodological Comparison" English | ISBN: 0415696143 | 2012 | 136 pages | AZW3 | 202 KB Weber and Durkheim: A methodological comparison is a systematic, comparative analysis of the methodologies of Max Weber and Émile Durkheim. Jensen shows how Weber and Durkheim analyse Protestants and Catholics in practice in The Protestant Ethic and Suicide, respectively. The very different ways that Weber and Durkheim carry out their analyses are then used to describe, analyse and contrast their methodological principles and points of view, raising fundamental questions in sociological and social science analysis, such as:  Voyeur: A Lesbian Anthology (Lesbian / Bisexual Erotica) by Victoria Rush English | 2019 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B082FLQC5L | 270 pages | PDF | 2.11 Mb Sometimes it's more fun to watch...  Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy By T.C. Weekes 2003 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 0750306580 | PDF | 5 MB High energy gamma-ray photons are the prime probes of the relativistic or high-energy universe, populated by black holes, neutron stars, supernovae, quasars, and matter-antimatter annihilations. Through studying the gamma-ray sky, astrophysicists are able to better understand the formation and behavior of these exotic and energetic bodies. Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy summarizes the status of gamma-ray astronomy at energies between 30MeV and 50TeV at a critical point in the development of the discipline: the hiatus between the demise of the EGRET telescope and the launch of the next generation of space telescopes. Starting with an overview of the astrophysics of the bodies that generate high energy gamma rays, it proceeds to discuss the latest developments in observational techniques and equipment. By presenting the techniques, observations, and theories of this expanding frontier, Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy aids experimentalists and theoreticians in detecting and explaining gamma rays of the highest energies.
