Each project provides clear and easy step-by-step instructions, photographs and diagrams. They can be made with either hand or power tools. In addition, the author provides a comprehensive reference section, describing tools, techniques and wood choices, which is both ideal for the expert and indispensable for the beginner.  The Space That Separates : A Realist Theory of Art by Nick Wilson English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367784149 | 259 Pages | ePUB | 0.61 MB  The Routledge International Handbook of Financialization by Philip Mader, Daniel Mertens English | Feb 17, 2020 | ISBN: 1138308218 | 530 pages | PDF | 8 MB Financialization has become the go-to term for scholars grappling with the growth of finance. This Handbook offers the first comprehensive survey of the scholarship on financialization, connecting finance with changes in politics, technology, culture, society and the economy.  Harold Speed, "The Practice and Science of Drawing Ed 3" English | ISBN: 0486228703 | | 400 pages | PDF | 4 MB Much of the learning to practice as well as to appreciate art is concerned with understanding the basic principles. One of these principles is what Harold Speed calls "dither," the freedom that allows realism and the artistic vision to play against each other. Very important to any artist or work of art, this quality separates the scientifically accurate from the artistically accurate. Speed's approach to this problem is now considered a classic, one of the few books from the early years of this century that has continued to be read and recommended by those in the graphic arts.  Ralph Waldo Emerson, Jeffrey S. Cramer, "The Portable Emerson" English | 2014 | ISBN: 0143107461 | 752 pages | EPUB | 1.7 MB A comprehensive collection of writings by "the most influential writer of the nineteenth century" (Harold Bloom)
 The Politics of Public Housing: Black Women's Struggles Against Urban Inequality (Transgressing Boundaries) by Rhonda Y. Williams English | September 9, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0195158903 | 320 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB Black women have traditionally represented the canvas on which many debates about poverty and welfare have been drawn. For a quarter century after the publication of the notorious Moynihan report, poor black women were tarred with the same brush: "ghetto moms" or "welfare queens" living off the state, with little ambition or hope of an independent future.  Martha P. Nochimson, "The Passion of David Lynch: Wild at Heart in Hollywood" English | 1997 | ISBN: 0292755651 | 288 pages | EPUB | 3.3 MB Filmmaker David Lynch asserts that when he is directing, ninety percent of the time he doesn't know what he is doing. To understand Lynch's films, Martha Nochimson believes, requires a similar method of being open to the subconscious, of resisting the logical reductiveness of language. In this innovative book, she draws on these strategies to offer close readings of Lynch's films, informed by unprecedented, in-depth interviews with Lynch himself.  J. Gerald Kennedy, "The Oxford Handbook of Edgar Allan Poe " English | ISBN: 0190641878 | 2019 | 880 pages | PDF | 30 MB No American author of the early 19th century enjoys a larger international audience than Edgar Allan Poe. Widely translated, read, and studied, he occupies an iconic place in global culture. Such acclaim would have gratified Poe, who deliberately wrote for "the world at large" and mocked the provincialism of strictly nationalistic themes. Partly for this reason, early literary historians cast Poe as an outsider, regarding his dark fantasies as extraneous to American life and experience. Only in the 20th century did Poe finally gain a prominent place in the national canon. Changing critical approaches have deepened our understanding of Poe's complexity and revealed an author who defies easy classification. New models of interpretation have excited fresh debates about his essential genius, his subversive imagination, his cultural insight, and his ultimate impact, urging an expansive reconsideration of his literary achievement.  The Origins of AIDS, 2nd edition by Jacques Pépin English | ISBN: 1108487491, 1108720390 | 392 pages | EPUB | January 21, 2021 | 22 Mb It is now forty years since the discovery of AIDS, but its origins continue to puzzle doctors, scientists and patients. Inspired by his own experiences working as a physician in a bush hospital of Zaire, Jacques Pépin looks back to the early twentieth-century events in central Africa that triggered the emergence of HIV/AIDS and traces its subsequent development into the most dramatic and destructive epidemic of modern times. He shows how the disease was first transmitted from chimpanzees to man and then how military interventions, urbanisation, prostitution and large-scale colonial medical campaigns intended to eradicate tropical diseases combined to disastrous effect to fuel the spread of the virus from its origins in Léopoldville to the rest of Africa, the Caribbean and ultimately worldwide. This is an essential perspective on HIV/AIDS and on the lessons that must be learned as the world faces another pandemic.
