 Britannia's Palette: The Arts of Naval Victory By Nicholas Tracy 2007 | 521 Pages | ISBN: 0773531130 | PDF | 15 MB Britannia's Palette looks at the lives of British artists who witnessed the naval war against the French Republic and Empire between 1793 and 1815. This band of brothers, through their artistic and entrepreneurial efforts, established the images of the war at sea that were central to the understanding their contemporaries had of events - images that endure to this day. In this unprecedented book, Nicholas Tracy reveals the importance of the self-employed artist to the study of a nation at war. He includes lively accounts of serving officers, retired sailors, and academy-trained artists who, often under the threat of debtor's prison, struggled to balance the standards of art with the public desire for heroic, reassuring images. Containing over eighty illustrations, Britannia's Palette explores a varied and exciting collection of paintings that reveal the poignancy of the human experience of war.
 Bionanotechnology to Save the Environment: Plant and Fishery's Biomass as Alternative to Petrol By Pierfrancesco Morganti 2019 | 408 Pages | ISBN: 303842692X | PDF | 30 MB Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating atoms and molecules in the nanoscale thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair. The world market for products that contain nanomaterials is expected to increase enormously in the future. The use of nanotechnology has stretched across various streams of science, from electronics to medicine and has also found applications in the field of cosmetics. How will this revolution impact our lifestyle and our planet? Very often the progresses of science, human knowledge and evolution of our lifestyle has been associated with devastating effects on our forests, oceans and more in general on our planet. The real challenge in the years to come is the sustainability of human evolution. The reader of this interesting book will discover how nanotechnology, and in particular nanomaterials derived from plant biomass and fishery's waste, can improve the quality of our environment by reducing carbon emissions, improving the recycling of materials and even, in the long run, became a profitable business. Green nanotechnologies can be applied to a huge number of products ranging from intelligent textiles to smart drugs or functional polymers which can have a big impact on our daily lives, but nevertheless help us in saving our biodiversity and our planet.

Michael Beaney, "Aspect Perception after Wittgenstein: Seeing-As and Novelty " English | ISBN: 0367871491 | 2019 | 208 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 4 MB This volume brings together new essays that consider Wittgenstein's treatment of the phenomenon of aspect perception in relation to the broader idea of conceptual novelty; that is, the acquisition or creation of new concepts, and the application of an acquired understanding in unfamiliar or novel situations. Over the last twenty years, aspect perception has received increasing philosophical attention, largely related to applying Wittgenstein's remarks on the phenomena of seeing-as, found in Part II of Philosophical Investigations (1953), to issues within philosophical aesthetics. Seeing-as, however, has come to occupy a broader conceptual category, particularly in philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology. The essays in this volume examine the exegetical issues arising within Wittgenstein studies, while also considering the broader utility and implications of the phenomenon of seeing-as in the fields of aesthetics, philosophical psychology, and philosophy of mathematics, with a thematic focus on questions of novelty and creativity. The collection constitutes a fruitful interpretative engagement with the later Wittgenstein, as well as a unique contribution to considerations of philosophical methodology.
 Arduino: The Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Take Control of Arduino Programming by Miles Price English | April 18, 2018 | ISBN: 1717107028 | 70 pages | EPUB | 0.28 Mb Heads up - it's the twenty-first century! It's easier than ever to make your own gadgets. The Arduino is a hardware and software package that allows you to create your own gadgets from scratch. It's essentially a microcomputer that you can hook all sorts of neat things up to and that you can make full-fledged projects out of. Programming your Arduino projects isn't terribly difficult, but there are a lot of underlying concepts that you need to grasp if you really want to propel yourself forward as a programmer. You're going to be working with pretty low-level concepts, so it's important that you familiarize yourself with all of these before you jump into Arduino programming. Take action today to take advantage of our limited time offer!  Marie Stender, "Architectural Anthropology: Exploring Lived Space " English | ISBN: 0367555751 | 2021 | 288 pages | PDF | 16 MB This book prompts architects and anthropologists to think and act together. In order to fully grasp the relationship between human beings and their built environments and design more livable and sustainable buildings and cities in the future, we need new cross-disciplinary approaches combining anthropology and architecture. This is neither anthropology of architecture, nor ethnography for architects, but a new approach beyond these positions: Architectural Anthropology.
 Analyzing meaning: An introduction to semantics and pragmatics (Textbooks in Language Sciences 5) By Paul R. Kroeger 2019 | 482 Pages | ISBN: 396110137X | PDF | 2 MB Published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Licence (CC BY 4.0):http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/This book provides an introduction to the study of meaning in human language, from a linguistic perspective. It covers a fairly broad range of topics, including lexical semantics, compositional semantics, and pragmatics. The chapters are organized into six units: (1) Foundational concepts; (2) Word meanings; (3) Implicature (including indirect speech acts); (4) Compositional semantics; (5) Modals, conditionals, and causation; (6) Tense & aspect.Most of the chapters include exercises which can be used for class discussion and/or homework assignments, and each chapter contains references for additional reading on the topics covered.As the title indicates, this book is truly an INTRODUCTION: it provides a solid foundation which will prepare students to take more advanced and specialized courses in semantics and/or pragmatics. It is also intended as a reference for fieldworkers doing primary research on under-documented languages, to help them write grammatical descriptions that deal carefully and clearly with semantic issues. The approach adopted here is largely descriptive and non-formal (or, in some places, semi-formal), although some basic logical notation is introduced. The book is written at level which should be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. It presupposes some previous coursework in linguistics, but does not presuppose any background in formal logic or set theory.Did you like this book?This book was brought to you for freePlease help us in providing free access to linguistic research worldwide.
