![]() The New Ramen Cookbook: A Simple Cookbook for Preparing Delicious Ramen Noodle Soups (2nd Edition) by BookSumo Press English | January 16, 2019 | ISBN: 1794256504 | 78 pages | PDF | 3.39 Mb JapaneseRamen. Prepared Simply. ![]() The Maze Prison: A Hidden Story of Chaos, Anarchy and Politics By Tom Murtagh 2018 | 832 Pages | ISBN: 1909976504 | PDF | 23 MB The Maze Prison shows how an establishment built to hold those involved in terrorism, atrocities, murder and allied crimes became a pawn in the partisan conflict that was Northern Ireland. There followed a breakdown of norms, values and control as the last of these shifted from Governors to Ministers, outside officials and even prisoners. This led to the (often random) killing of prison officers and countless allegations, denials and obfuscations, as Prison Rules came into conflict with claims to be treated as prisoners-of-war or be given Special Category status. A social document par excellence, this stark slant on The Troubles and Peace Process cuts through the propaganda and base politics to reveal the truth about the H-Blocks, hunger-strikes, escapes and power struggles. Based on actual records and personal accounts, it challenges myths and legends to warn how easily a community can descend into what the author calls anomie. An invaluable record of 'One of the most dangerous prisons in the world'. ![]() The Letter Q: Queer Writers' Notes to their Younger Selves By Sarah Moon 2012 | 281 Pages | ISBN: 0545399327 | EPUB | 8 MB If you received a letter from your older self, what do you think it would say?

It's about markets.The past twenty-five years have witnessed a remarkable shift in how we get the stuff we want. If you've ever owned a business, rented an apartment, or shopped online, you've had a front-row seat for this revolution-in-progress. Breakthrough companies like Amazon and Uber have disrupted the old ways and made the economy work better-all thanks to technology.At least that's how the story of the modern economy is usually told. But in this lucid, wry book, Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan show that the revolution is bigger than tech: it is really a story about the transformation of markets. From the auction theories that power Google's ad sales algorithms to the models that online retailers use to prevent internet fraud, even the most high-tech modern businesses are empowered by theory first envisioned by economists.And we're all participants in this revolution. Every time you book a room on Airbnb, hire a car on Lyft, or click on an ad, you too are reshaping our social institutions and our lives.The Inner Lives of Marketsis necessary reading for the modern world: it reveals the blueprint for how we work, live, and shop, and offers wisdom for how to do it better.
![]() The Greek War of Independence: The Struggle for Freedom from Ottoman Oppression By David Brewer 2011 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 1590206916 | EPUB | 5 MB In what is certain to be the standard history for many years to come, David Brewer has captured the period brilliantly, from the ground up-the heroes and villains, the victories, and the tragic defeats. Greece was, as Byron said, a land with a special destiny: "Freedom's home, or Glory's grave." The Greek War of Independence is a masterful work-the first comprehensive study in thirty years-of one of the most heroic and bloody struggles for independence any people has ever waged. This was the revolution of the Romantic Age, inspiring painters, poets, and patriots the world over, fired as much by Lord Byron's ringing words and Delacroix's brilliant paintings as by Greece's seemingly hopeless plight. For nearly four hundred years the Ottoman Turks governed Greece, subjecting the country to crushing and arbitrary tax burdens and its peasants to serfdom; the glories of the ancient past were gone, and under Turkish rule Greece was poor and backward. But inspired by the examples of the American and French revolutions, Napoleon's victories, and the Latin American wars of liberation, the Greek people rose up against their Turkish masters in 1821. For twelve brutal years-a time of terrible violence and bloody massacre-the Greeks and the foreign volunteers who flocked to their cause fought until independence was won in 1833. ![]() Brandon Ellis, "The Complete Atlantis Series, Books 1 - 5" English | 2021 | ASIN: B0994X1NGL | EPUB | 1.3 MB A brand-new collection featuring all Atlantis novels in the Ascendant Saga.
