 Julie Beth Napolin, "The Fact of Resonance: Modernist Acoustics and Narrative Form " English | ISBN: 0823288161 | 2020 | 288 pages | PDF | 6 MB Shortlisted, 2021 Memory Studies Association First Book Award  Baruch Spinoza, "The Essential Spinoza: Ethics and Related Writings " English | ISBN: 0872208044 | 2006 | 360 pages | PDF | 186 MB Designed to facilitate a thoughtful and informed reading of Spinoza's Ethics, this anthology provides the Ethics, related writings, and two valuable appendices: List of Propositions from the Ethics, which helps readers to trace the development of key themes; and Citations in Proofs, a list of all the propositions, corollaries, and scholia in the Ethics, together with all the definitions, axioms, propositions, corollaries, and scholia to which Spinoza refers in the proofs-thus, readers can locate, for a given item, each instance where Spinoza refers to it.  Christian Heath, "The Dynamics of Auction: Social Interaction and the Sale of Fine Art and Antiques " English | ISBN: 0521767407 | 2012 | 260 pages | PDF | 4 MB Each year art and antiques worth many billions of pounds are sold at auction. These auctions consist of numerous, intense episodes of social interaction through which the price of goods rapidly escalates until sold on the strike of a hammer. In this book, Christian Heath examines the fine details of interaction that arises at auctions, the talk and visible conduct of the participants, and their use of various tools and technologies. He explores how auctioneers, buyers and their representatives are able to transact the sale of goods worth anything from a few dollars through to many millions in just seconds. Heath addresses how order, trust, and competition are established at auctions and demonstrates how an economic institution of some global importance is founded upon embodied action and interaction. The analysis is based on video recordings of sales of art and antiques gathered within a range of national and international auction houses in Europe and the United States.  Scott M. Aquanno, "The Crisis of Risk: Subprime Debt and US Financial Power from 1944 to Present" English | ISBN: 1800370822 | 2021 | 192 pages | PDF | 1355 KB For the last decade, progressive scholars determined to understand the 2008 financial crisis have examined the growth of US subprime mortgage debt in the period leading up to the collapse and how government policy supported this accumulation. However, the long history of the subprime crisis, its connection to the patterns of financial risk designated by the postwar international monetary system, has been all too often overlooked.  Joyce Brabner, "The Courage Party: Helping Our Resilient Children Understand and Survive Sexual Assault " English | ISBN: 1621067858 | 2020 | 224 pages | PDF | 16 MB The Courage Party is a "gently explicit" book about sexual abuse, written for kids to read alone or (better) with a "good grownup." Parental guide included. After escaping a playground predator, a little girl learns to understand what happened and how to carry herself with pride and conviction after five older women organize a "Courage Party" for her and share stories from their own lives. Interactions with police, pediatricians, prosecutors, victim advocates, a community rape crisis center and courthouse are depicted as young Danielle learns she is more than a survivor. She is a "crime fighter," powered by her own truthfulness and courage, able to protect other kids in the park, with many good grownups on her side.Based on a true story, Dani's own good grownup talks in the margins to parents about key ideas: ending conflicting messages ("You didn't do anything wrong. But don't tell anybody!"); understanding the difference between loving adult sexual intercourse and sexual abuse; interacting with authorities; and helping your child deal with malicious gossip, taunts and jeers.Written by award-winning non-fiction graphic novelist Joyce Brabner with an assist from Danielle and illustrated by Gerta Oparaku. Both Joyce and Danielle were first introduced in Harvey Pekar's autobio series American Splendor and the movie of that same name.  The Complete Instant Pot Cookbook for Beginners: Quick & Easy Recipes for Mouth-Watering Pressure Cooker Homemade Meals By Sienna Palmer English | 2021 | ASIN : B09P1ZBCCP | 74 Pages | EPUB | 18 MB  Marie Rayner, "The Best of British Baking: Classic Sweet Treats and Savory Bakes" English | ISBN: 1638073023 | 2021 | 136 pages | AZW3, EPUB | 2 MB + 2 MB Master the most beloved recipes in British baking  System-Materials Nanoarchitectonics English | 2022 | ISBN: 4431569111 | 332 Pages | PDF | 13 MB This book is the first publication to widely introduce the contributions of nanoarchitectonics to the development of functional materials and systems. The book opens up pathways to novel nanotechnology based on bottom-up techniques. In fields of nanotechnology, theoretical and practical limitations are expected in the bottom-up nanofabrication process. Instead, some supramolecular processes for nano- and microstructure formation including molecular recognition, self-assembly, and template synthesis have gained great attention as novel key technologies to break through expected limitations in current nanotechnology. This volume describes future images of nanotechnology and related materials and device science as well as practical applications for energy and biotechnology. Readers including specialists, non-specialists, graduate students, and undergraduate students can focus on the parts of the book that interest and concern them most. Target fields include materials chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, nanotechnology, and even biotechnology.  Kam Knight, "Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour " English | ISBN: 109026447X | 2018 | 128 pages | EPUB | 646 KB #1 Speed Reading Book on Amazon for 3 Straight Years  Single- and Two-Phase Flow Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer in Tubes English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030872807 | 304 Pages | PDF EPUB | 50 MB The book provides design engineers an elemental understanding of the variables that influence pressure drop and heat transfer in plain and micro-fin tubes to thermal systems using liquid single-phase flow in different industrial applications. It also provides design engineers using gas-liquid, two-phase flow in different industrial applications the necessary fundamentals of the two-phase flow variables. The author and his colleagues were the first to determine experimentally the very important relationship between inlet geometry and transition. On the basis of their results, they developed practical and easy to use correlations for the isothermal and non-isothermal friction factor (pressure drop) and heat transfer coefficient (Nusselt number) in the transition region as well as the laminar and turbulent flow regions for different inlet configurations and fin geometry. This work presented herein provides the thermal systems design engineer the necessary design tools. The author further presents a succinct review of the flow patterns, void fraction, pressure drop and non-boiling heat transfer phenomenon and recommends some of the well scrutinized modeling techniques. |
