Windows Video Editor Made Easy: Creating Memories the Easy Way By James Bernstein English | 2021 | ASIN : B09755CCB7 | 99 pages | PDF, EPUB | 21 MB  Rachel A. Feinstein, "When Rape was Legal: The Untold History of Sexual Violence during Slavery " English | ISBN: 1138629685 | 2018 | 108 pages | PDF | 2 MB When Rape was Legal is the first book to solely focus on the widespread rape perpetrated against enslaved black women by white men in the United States. The routine practice of sexual violence against enslaved black women by white men, the motivations for this rape, and the legal context that enabled this violence are all explored and scrutinized. Enlightening analysis found that rape was not merely a result of sexual desire and opportunity, or simply a form of punishment and racial domination, but instead encompassed all of these dimensions as part of the identity of white masculinity. This provocative text highlights the significant role that white women played in enabling sexual violence against enslaved black women through a variety of responses and, at times, through their lack of response to the actions of the white men in their lives. Significantly, this book finds that sexual violence against enslaved black women was a widespread form of oppression used to perform white masculinity and reinforce an intersectional hierarchy. Additionally, white women played a vital role by enabling this sexual violence and perpetuating the subordination of themselves and those subordinate to them.  James L. Nolan Jr, "What They Saw in America: Alexis de Tocqueville, Max Weber, G. K. Chesterton, and Sayyid Qutb" English | ISBN: 1107146615 | 2016 | 306 pages | PDF | 2 MB Grounded in the stories of their actual visits, What They Saw in America takes the reader through the journeys of four distinguished, yet very different foreign visitors - Alexis de Tocqueville, Max Weber, G. K. Chesterton and Sayyid Qutb - who traveled to the United States between 1830 and 1950. The comparative insights of these important outside observers (from both European and Middle Eastern countries) encourage sober reflection on a number of features of American culture that have persisted over time - individualism and conformism, the unique relationship between religion and capitalism, indifference toward nature, voluntarism, attitudes toward race, and imperialistic tendencies. Listening to these travelers' views, both the ambivalent and even the more unequivocal, can help Americans better understand themselves, more fully empathize with the values of other cultures, and more deeply comprehend how the United States is perceived from the outside.  Rachel Lee Rubin, "Well Met: Renaissance Faires and the American Counterculture" English | ISBN: 1479859729 | 2014 | 300 pages | PDF | 4 MB The Renaissance Faire-a 50 year-long party, communal ritual, political challenge and cultural wellspring-receives its first sustained historical attention with Well Met. Beginning with the chaotic communal moment of its founding and early development in the 1960s through its incorporation as a major "family friendly" leisure site in the 2000s, Well Met tells the story of the thinkers, artists, clowns, mimes, and others performers who make the Faire.  Weaponized Words: The Strategic Role of Persuasion in Violent Radicalization and Counter-Radicalization English | 2020 | ISBN: 1108474527 | 545 Pages | PDF | 4 MB Strengthen your understanding of the persuasive mechanisms used by terrorist groups and how they are effective in order to defeat them. Weaponized Words applies existing theories of persuasion to domains unique to this digital era, such as social media, YouTube, websites, and message boards to name but a few. Terrorists deploy a range of communication methods and harness reliable communication theories to create strategic messages that persuade peaceful individuals to join their groups and engage in violence. While explaining how they accomplish this, the book lays out a blueprint for developing counter-messages perfectly designed to conquer such violent extremism and terrorism. Using this basis in persuasion theory, a socio-scientific approach is generated to fight terrorist propaganda and the damage it causes.  Virtual and Augmented Reality, Simulation and Serious Games for Education English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811613605 | 187 Pages | PDF EPUB | 36 MB This book introduces state-of-the-art research on virtual reality, simulation and serious games for education and its chapters presented the best papers from the 4th Asia-Europe Symposium on Simulation and Serious Games (4th AESSSG) held in Turku, Finland, December 2018. The chapters of the book present a multi-facet view on different approaches to deal with challenges that surround the uptake of educational applications of virtual reality, simulations and serious games in school practices. The different approaches highlight challenges and potential solutions and provide future directions for virtual reality, simulation and serious games research, for the design of learning material and for implementation in classrooms. By doing so, the book is a useful resource for both students and scholars interested in research in this field, for designers of learning material, and for practitioners that want to embrace virtual reality, simulation and/or serious games in their education.  English | 2021 | ASIN : B09CN3HJXM | 10 pages | PDF, AZW3, EPUB, MOBI | 3.81 MB For newcomers, Valorant isn't the easiest shooter in the genre. You need precise aim, map knowledge, clever ability usage, and strong communication to win matches, all of which take time to develop. Almost all of these things - especially precise aim coupled with low time-to-kill - can put off new players immediately. Take the time to adjust and learn, though, and it can become incredibly rewarding when you're popping heads or pulling off outrageous clutches.  Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Internet of Things (IoT): Concepts, Techniques, and Applications English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119768829 | 312 Pages | PDF EPUB | 19 MB The 15 chapters in this book explore the theoretical as well as a number of technical research outcomes on all aspects of UAVs. UAVs has widely differing applications such as disaster management, structural inspection, goods delivery, transportation, localization, mapping, pollution and radiation monitoring, search and rescue, farming, etc. The advantages of using UAVs are countless and have led the way for the full integration of UAVs, as intelligent objects into the IoT system.  Paul Schuler, "United Front: Projecting Solidarity through Deliberation in Vietnam's Single-Party Legislature " English | ISBN: 1503614743 | 2021 | 268 pages | PDF | 3 MB Conventional wisdom emerging from China and other autocracies claims that single-party legislatures and elections are mutually beneficial for citizens and autocrats. This line of thought reasons that these institutions can serve multiple functions, like constraining political leaders or providing information about citizens. In United Front, Paul Schuler challenges these views through his examination of the past and present functioning of the Vietnam National Assembly (VNA), arguing that the legislature's primary role is to signal strength to the public. When active, the critical behavior from delegates in the legislature represents cross fire within the regime rather than genuine citizen feedback. In making these arguments, Schuler counters a growing scholarly trend to see democratic institutions within single-party settings like China and Vietnam as useful for citizens or regime performance. His argument also suggests that there are limits to generating genuinely "consultative authoritarianism" through quasi-democratic institutions. Applying a diverse range of cutting-edge social science methods on a wealth of original data such as legislative speeches, election returns, and surveys, Schuler shows that even in a seemingly vociferous legislature like the VNA, the ultimate purpose of the institution is not to reflect the views of citizens, but rather to signal the regime's preferences while taking down rivals. |
