 "To Tread on New Ground": Selected Hebrew Writings of Hava Shapiro by Hava Shapiro, edited by Carole B. Balin, Wendy I. Zierler English | December 1, 2014 | ISBN: 0814338690 | EPUB | 472 pages | 12.9 MB Hava Shapiro is among the nearly forgotten Jewish women writers who sought acceptance in Jewish literary circles of the last century. Born in Slavuta (modern-day Ukraine) in 1878, she published works of fiction, memoir, literary criticism, and journalism, including a volume of short fiction and a scholarly monograph on the Czech leader Masaryk. Her handwritten diary-the first known diary to be kept by a woman in Hebrew-evokes not only the momentous events of her day but also the experiences of women like herself who failed to follow the dictates of Jewish tradition and aspired to roles beyond those of wife and mother.  Webster, "The West Highland Lines: Post-Beeching" English | 2014 | ISBN: 0752497065 | 184 pages | EPUB | 5.6 MB The railway lines of the West Highlands are famous the world over for their illustrious history and unparalleled scenic beauty. Linking Glasgow with Oban, Fort William and Mallaig, the lines managed to survive the axe of Dr Beeching, whose infamous report forced the closure of almost a third of Britain's railways in the 1960s. With a detailed look at the lines, their workings and rolling stock since then, Webster examines how the West Highland network has gone on to prosper to the present day.  The Informal Economy Revisited: Examining the Past, Envisioning the Future by Martha Chen and Françoise Carré English | Jul 14, 2020 | ISBN: 0367191512 | 326 pages | PDF | 5 MB This landmark volume brings together leading scholars in the field to investigate recent conceptual shifts, research findings and policy debates on the informal economy as well as future challenges and directions for research and policy. Well over half of the global workforce and the vast majority of the workforce in developing countries work in the informal economy, and in countries around the world new forms of informal employment are emerging. Yet the informal workforce is not well understood, remains undervalued and is widely stigmatised.  Colin Wilson, Samantha Devin, Thomas F. Bertonneau, "The Age of Defeat" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0993323073 | 243 pages | EPUB | 0.22 MB In The Age of Defeat, the third volume of the Outsider Cycle, Colin Wilson introduces his New Existentialism as the basis for the revolution in thought that we need to bring about; a revolt against insignificance and ordinariness. The New Existentialism is a practical and strong-willed philosophy that will renew the concept of Man as hero. It emphasises the extraordinary in us.The Age of Defeat examines the loss of the hero in Western culture and the implications of that loss for humanity. When it was written in the middle of the 20th century, it was the idea of the hero that was endangered. Today it is Man, his identity and his masculinity, who is verging on extinction. The concept of Man is one of the most ambiguous and puzzling in our culture. It might be a good moment to remember what to be a Man used to imply.  Talk about Faith: How Debate and Conversation Shape Belief by Stephen Pihlaja English | Jan 31, 2021 | ISBN: 110847599X | 200 pages | PDF | 1 MB How do people of faith use language to position themselves, and their beliefs and practices, in the contemporary world? This pioneering and original study looks closely at how Christians and Muslims talk to people inside and outside of their own communities about what they think are the right things to believe and do. From debates, to podcasts and YouTube videos, the book covers a range of engaging texts and contexts, showing how doctrine and beliefs are not nearly as fixed and static as we might think, and that people are prone to change what they say they believe, depending on who they are talking to. From abortion, to hell, to whether it's okay to sell alcohol, Pihlaja investigates how Christians and Muslims struggle with different elements of their own faith, and try to make decisions about what to do when there are so many different voices to believe.  Alicia Cook, "Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1524860522 | 240 pages | EPUB | 40.7 MB Sorry I haven't texted you back, (I've been anxious and depressed) I haven't had time to catch my breath, you know how life gets.  Webster, "Railways of Glasgow: Post-Beeching" English | 2014 | ISBN: 0752499076 | 168 pages | EPUB | 6.1 MB The city of Glasgow, formerly one of the largest industrial centres in the world, was once responsible for building about one-quarter of the world's railway locomotives. This was complemented by a massive urban railway network: the second largest in the UK. However, the Beeching Report of 1963 inevitably took its toll on Glasgow. This book examines the changing face of Glasgow's railways ever since, starting with the period of rationalisation and industrial decline that followed. It also explores the revival enjoyed in the latter half of the 20th century, with lines re-opened and modern rolling stock being introduced.  1.31 GB | 00:21:45 | mkv | 1440X1080 | 4:3 Language:English Genres:: Comedy, Game-Show Improvisational comedy competition show in which four members of the regular cast as comedians and often with guest appearances with other comedians and celebrities and members of the audience perform various comic games and sketches iMDB info  Phytotoxicity of Nanoparticles by Mohammad Faisal English | PDF | 2018 | 407 Pages | ISBN : 3319767070 | 11 MB This book provides relevant findings on nanoparticles' toxicity, their uptake, translocation and mechanisms of interaction with plants at cellular and sub-cellular level.
