 An Introduction to Safety Grounding English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367758717 | 183 Pages | PDF | 7 MB Safety or protective grounding is of vital importance for the protection of individuals from electric shock and structures and industrial concerns from potentially damaging lightning and electrostatic discharges. To many electrical engineers the notion of grounding is nebulous and safety grounding is quite often confused with neutral grounding of the power supply. The main objective of this book is to give the reader a better understanding of safety grounding, why it is needed, where it is needed, and what are the requirements which must be met in order to have an effective grounding system. The text as a whole serves to provide the reader with the necessary background for a better appreciation of the various National and International Standards concerned with safety grounding.
 All the Water the Law Allows: Las Vegas and Colorado River Politics (Volume 6) (The Environment in Modern North America) by Christian S. Harrison English | ISBN: 080616932X | 268 pages | EPUB | August 12, 2021 | 18 Mb As the population of the greater Las Vegas area grows and the climate warms, the threat of a water shortage looms over southern Nevada. But as Christian S. Harrison demonstrates in All the Water the Law Allows, the threat of shortage arises not from the local environment but from the American legal system, specifically the Law of the River that governs water allocation from the Colorado River. In this political and legal history of the Las Vegas water supply, Harrison focuses on the creation and actions of the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to tell a story with profound implications and important lessons for water politics and natural resource policy in the twenty-first century.  All Solutions Are With The Prophet's Progeny By Dr. Muhammad al-Tijani al-Samawi 2008 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 9644389824 | PDF | 3 MB [center]  Against The Megamachine: Essays On Empire And Its Enemies By David Watson 1998 | 334 Pages | ISBN: 1570270872 | PDF | 8 MB Urban-industrial civilization is a vast junkyard. Everything, from the planets to the cells of our bodies, is contaminated with its poisons. What it means to be human is now in dangerous flux, while the entire edifice sways over us, threatening to crash down in ruins. The green world in which we evolved is being shredded by our instruments and our way of life...David Watson's wide-ranging essays - published in the Fifth Estate, one of North America's most original radical journals - ponder such themes as the state, empire and war; humanity's tragic relation to the natural world; and the contemporary mass society generated by industrial capitalism and modern technology. His impassioned critique offers a vision of social transformation open to diverse possibilities, and suggests where a new politics must begin: as a radical challenge to the mystique of progress, in defense of nature, memory and spirit."David Watson is one of the handful of thinkers and authors who have managed to address technology in all of its dimensions - its effects on individual consciousness, on political power, on social and cultural forms, and on the natural world - to reveal something far more profound and terrifying, though still beneath the awareness of the public and the otherwise politically engaged community of activists. Technology must move to the forefront as an activist issue, and only through works like this will we understand the subject well enough to act." - Jerry Mander  Advanced Pole Dancing: For Fitness and Fun Vol 3 by Danni Peck English | April 30, 2017 | ISBN: 1521190798 | 102 pages | EPUB | 1.76 Mb Pole Dancing Series: Book 3  Advanced Materials: Proceedings of the International Conference on "Physics and Mechanics of New Materials and Their Applications", PHENMA 2018 by Ivan A.

AWS Lambda: Developer Guide by Amazon Web Services English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07GFJLN6D | 1096 pages | MOBI | 3.47 Mb This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. AWS Lambda executes your code only when needed and scales automatically, from a few requests per day to thousands per second. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. With AWS Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. AWS Lambda runs your code on a high-availability compute infrastructure and performs all of the administration of the compute resources, including server and operating system maintenance, capacity provisioning and automatic scaling, code monitoring and logging. All you need to do is supply your code in one of the languages that AWS Lambda supports (currently Node.js, Java, C#, Go and Python).  A Visual Atlas for Soil Micromorphologists English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030678059 | 184 Pages | PDF EPUB | 66 MB This open access atlas is an up-to-date visual resource on the features and structures observed in soil thin sections, i.e. soil micromorphology. The book addresses the growing interest in soil micromorphology in the fields of soil science, earth science, archaeology and forensic science, and serves as a reference tool for researchers and students for fast learning and intuitive feature and structure recognition. The book is divided into six parts and contains hundreds of images and photomicrographs. Part one is devoted to the way to sample properly soils, the method of preparation of thin sections, the main tool of soil micromorphology (the microscope), and the approach of soil micromorphology as a scientific method. Part two focuses on the organisation of soil fragments and presents the concept of fabric. Part three addresses the basic components, e.g. rocks, minerals, organic compounds and anthropogenic features. Part four lists all the various types of pedogenic features observed in a soil, i.e. the imprint of pedogenesis. Part five gives interpretations of features associated with the main processes at work in soils and paleosols. Part six presents a view of what the future of soil micromorphology could be. Finally, the last part consists of the index and annexes, including the list of mineral formulas. This atlas will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students, who will find it a convenient tool for the self-teaching of soil micromorphology by using comparative photographs.
 A Mosque in Munich: Nazis, the CIA, and the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the West By Ian Johnson 2011 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0547423179 | PDF | 5 MB In the wake of the news that the 9/11 hijackers had lived in Europe, journalist Ian Johnson wondered how such a radical group could sink roots into Western soil. Most accounts reached back twenty years, to U.S. support of Islamist fighters in Afghanistan. But Johnson dug deeper, to the start of the Cold War, uncovering the untold story of a group of ex-Soviet Muslims who had defected to Germany during World War II. There, they had been fashioned into a well-oiled anti-Soviet propaganda machine. As that war ended and the Cold War began, West German and U.S. intelligence agents vied for control of this influential group, and at the center of the covert tug of war was a quiet mosque in Munich-radical Islam's first beachhead in the West.Culled from an array of sources, including newly declassified documents, A Mosque in Munich interweaves the stories of several key players: a Nazi scholar turned postwar spymaster; key Muslim leaders across the globe, including members of the Muslim Brotherhood; and naïve CIA men eager to fight communism with a new weapon, Islam. A rare ground-level look at Cold War spying and a revelatory account of the West's first, disastrous encounter with radical Islam, A Mosque in Munich is as captivating as it is crucial to our understanding the mistakes we are still making in our relationship with Islamists today  A Guide to Assessments That Work 2nd Edition English | 2018 | ISBN: 0190492244 | 773 Pages | PDF | 6 MB The first edition of A Guide To Assessments That Work provided a much needed resource on evidence-based psychological assessment.
