 Failure, Nationalism, and Literature: The Making of Modern Chinese Identity, 1895-1937 By Jing Tsu 2005 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0804751765 | PDF | 5 MB How often do we think of cultural humiliation and failure as strengths? Against prevailing views on what it means to enjoy power as individuals, cultures, or nations, this provocative book looks at the making of cultural and national identities in modern China as building success on failure. It reveals the exercise of sovereign power where we least expect it and shows how this is crucial to our understanding of a modern world of conflict, violence, passionate suffering, and cultural difference.  Evidence-Informed Learning Design : Creating Training to Improve Performance by Mirjam Neelen and Paul A. Kirschner English | 2020 | ISBN: 1789661439 | 328 Pages | PDF/ePUB | 5.3 MB  Entrepreneurial: Strategy Starting, Managing, and Scaling New Ventures by Dean A. Shepherd English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 142 Pages | ISBN : 3030789349 | 6.5 MB This book focuses on explaining differences amongst organizations regarding various attributes, forms, and outcomes. By focusing on the "how" of new venture creation and management to produce well-established organizations, the authors aim to increase our understanding of the antecedents of most management research assumptions. New ventures are the source of most newly created jobs generated in an economy, new industries and markets, innovative products and services, and new solutions to economic, social, and environmental problems. However, most management research assumes a well-established organization as the starting point of their theorizing.  Elemental: How the Periodic Table Can Now Explain (Nearly) Everything By Tim James 2018 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 147214094X | EPUB | 2 MB [center]  Egon Erwin Kisch, the Raging Reporter: A Bio-anthology By Kisch, E.E.;Segel, H.B. 1997 | 378 Pages | ISBN: 1557531005 | PDF | 7 MB Egon Erwin Kisch (1885-1948) is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding journalists of the twentieth century. He is also credited with virtually defining reportage as a form of literary art in which accuracy of observation and fidelity to facts combine with creative narrative. Born in Prague under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kisch began his career as a crime reporter for local newspapers. He saw combat in Serbia as a soldier in the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I, led an abortive left-wing coup d'etat in Vienna in 1918, and became famous in the German-speaking world as der rasende Reporter (the raging reporter) when he exposed the attempted cover-up of a case of treason in high places that rocked the Habsburg Empire on the eve of World War I. He visited North Africa, the Soviet Union, Central Asia, Australia, China, and the United States, where he traveled from one coast to the other as an ordinary seaman, made friends with Charlie Chaplin and Upton Sinclair, and commented with wit and irony on American life.  Dvořák: Romantic Music's Most Versatile Genius By David Hurwitz 2005 | 202 Pages | ISBN: 1574671073 | PDF | 8 MB A New York freelance percussionist/Classical Internet awards founder identifies themes of some 90 works of Dvor k (1841- 1904), going beyond the familiar. Hurwitz includes a timeline of Dvor k's compositions in the context of contemporaneous musical landmarks. Listening guides are grouped by themes both expected (e.g., Slavonic Works, American W  Differentiability in Banach Spaces, Differential Forms and Applications English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030778339 | 369 Pages | PDF EPUB | 47 MB This book is divided into two parts, the first one to study the theory of differentiable functions between Banach spaces and the second to study the differential form formalism and to address the Stokes' Theorem and its applications. Related to the first part, there is an introduction to the content of Linear Bounded Operators in Banach Spaces with classic examples of compact and Fredholm operators, this aiming to define the derivative of Fréchet and to give examples in Variational Calculus and to extend the results to Fredholm maps. The Inverse Function Theorem is explained in full details to help the reader to understand the proof details and its motivations. The inverse function theorem and applications make up this first part. The text contains an elementary approach to Vector Fields and Flows, including the Frobenius Theorem. The Differential Forms are introduced and applied to obtain the Stokes Theorem and to define De Rham cohomology groups. As an application, the final chapter contains an introduction to the Harmonic Functions and a geometric approach to Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism.  Die 25 Jahre der Philosophie: Eine systematische Rekonstruktion By Eckart Förster 2018 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 3465043421 | PDF | 4 MB Kant behauptete, dass es vor der Kritik der reinen Vernunft von 1781 gar keine Philosophie gegeben habe, und 1806 erklarte Hegel, dass die Philosophie nun beschlossen sei. Hatten beide mit ihren Behauptungen recht gehabt, wurde sich die Geschichte der Philosophie, die wir normalerweise auf zweieinhalb Jahrtausende berechnen, auf 25 Jahre reduzieren. Die 25 Jahre der Philosophie ist der Versuch, den einen Gedanken - dass die Philosophie 1781 beginnt und 1806 beschlossen ist - nachzuvollziehen und zu verstehen. Die 25 Jahre der Philosophie ist kein Beitrag zu dem popularen philosophiegeschichtlichen Genre "Von Kant bis Hegel"; ein Uberblick uber die Epoche ist nicht angestrebt. Eckart Forster untersucht vielmehr die Grunde, die Kant und Hegel zu ihren Aussagen bewegt haben, sowie die Schritte, die in so kurzer Zeit von Kants 'Anfang' zu Hegels 'Ende' fuhren konnten. Er kommt zu dem uberraschenden Ergebnis, dass sowohl Kant als auch Hegel in einem unerwarteten aber gewichtigen Sinn recht haben. Fur dieses Buch erhielt Eckart Forster, der an der Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA) lehrt und forscht, 2017 den renommierten Kuno-Fischer-Preis der Universitat Heidelberg. Er wird fur "hervorragende Werke aus dem Gebiet der Geschichte der Philosophie" vergeben; bisherige Preistrager waren u.a. Ernst Cassirer, Hans Blumenberg, Werner Beierwaltes (fur Denken des Einen, Klostermann 1985), Kurt Flasch (fur Nikolaus von Kues, Klostermann 1998) und Dieter Henrich.
