 Ginger Dellenbaugh, "Maria Callas's Lyric and Coloratura Arias " English | ISBN: 150137902X | 2021 | 168 pages | PDF | 4 MB More than 40 years after her death, the legend of Maria Callas, "La Divina Assoluta," remains unsurpassed. Much has been written about her sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her definitive mastery of iconic opera roles to her love affairs and tantrums. The prototype for the 20th century celebrity diva, Callas emblematizes the cliche of tormented talent - genius in the ring with catastrophe.  Judy Graham, "Managing Multiple Sclerosis Naturally: A Self-help Guide to Living with MS" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1594772908 | EPUB | pages: 372 | 1.2 mb A totally revised and updated edition of the first book to offer a holistic approach to slowing the progression of MS  Il Kwang Sung, "Mamluks in the Modern Egyptian Mind: Changing the Memory of the Mamluks, 1919-1952" English | 2016 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 1137557125 | PDF | 2,8 mb This book explores how modern Egyptians understand the Mamluks and reveals the ways in which that historical memory is utilized for political and ideological purposes. It specifically examines the representations of the Mamluks from two historical periods: the Mamluk Sultanate era (1250-1517) and the Mamluks under the Ottoman era (1517-1811) focusing mostly on the years 1760-1811. Although the Mamluks have had a great impact on the Egyptian collective memory and modern thought, the subject to date has hardly been researched seriously, with most analyses given to stereotypical negative representations of the Mamluks in historical works. However, many Egyptian historians and intellectuals presented the Mamluk era positively, and even symbolized the Sultans as national icons. This book sheds light on the heretofore-neglected positive dimensions of the multifaceted representations of the Mamluks and addresses the ways in which modern Egyptians utilize that collective memory.  Malevolent Managers: Insights using Executive Impression Management by Terry A. Sheridan English | March 11, 2016 | ISBN: 1472416015, 0367606054 | True EPUB | 220 pages | 1.2 MB Dr Terry A. Sheridan employs a new and unique theoretical perspective to examine how malevolent, tyrannical and mediocre managers commonly use violence in the workplace, not necessarily physical violence, but bullying, overt and covert emotional abuse - all forms of negative behaviour that are damaging to individuals and organisations.  Making the New World Their Own: Chinese Encounters with Jesuit Science in the Age of Discovery By Qiong Zhang 2015 | 500 Pages | ISBN: 9004284370 | PDF | 9 MB In Making the New World Their Own, Qiong Zhang offers a systematic study of how Chinese scholars in the late Ming and early Qing came to understand that the earth is shaped as a globe. This notion arose from their encounters with Matteo Ricci, Giulio Aleni and other Jesuits. These encounters formed a fascinating chapter in the early modern global integration of space. It unfolded as a series of mutually constitutive and competing scholarly discourses that reverberated in fields from cosmology, cartography and world geography to classical studies. Zhang demonstrates how scholars such as Xiong Mingyu, Fang Yizhi, Jie Xuan, Gu Yanwu, and Hu Wei appropriated Jesuit ideas to rediscover China's place in the world and reconstitute their classical tradition.  Kathy L. Schuh, "Making Meaning by Making Connections" English | 2016 | pages: 215 | ISBN: 9402409912 | PDF | 1,9 mb This book documents those first links that students make between content they learn in their classrooms and their prior experiences. Through six late-elementary school case studies these knowledge construction links are brought to life. The links of the students are often rich in describing who these individuals are, where they are in their learning process, and what is meaningful to them. Many times, these links point to what has been learned, both in and out of school, and the contexts when and where that learning took place. The mind as rhizome metaphor was used to guide the development and interpretation of the studies while the lens of Peircian semiotics provides an interpretation for these initial links. The resulting grounded theory is presented through a rich and extensive presentation of excerpts from classroom observations, student interviews, and a student writing activity and describes the varying types of student links, how the links were prompted, the relationships between what the students were learning and what they already knew, and specific types of in-school links. The narrative includes how these links were supported or inhibited in the classroom drawing on the roles of the teachers in the classrooms and what constituted authority sources of information in those classrooms. Before exploring the students' linking as a process of ongoing semiosis and how this process is part of a dynamic system, a study of the relationship between student knowledge links and achievement is shared. This rich narrative will be of interest to scholars and practitioners alike, and includes an extensive appendix documenting the research methods.  Macro-Financial Linkages in the Pacific Region By Akira Kohsaka 2015 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 1138806536 | PDF | 2 MB Growth perspectives in emerging market economies are increasingly dependent on international capital flows in recent decades because of their influences on business cycles. In fact, volatile international capital flows has been one of the main concerns for the macroeconomic policy authorities. Focusing on emerging economies in the Pacific region, this book reveals how they are different from those in other regions in terms of international macro-financial linkages to the global capital market and domestic financial development,. The book alsodiscusses how these characteristics have interacted with their macroeconomic policy regimes and their macroeconomic performance throughout the two major international financial crises in the past more than two decades. It suggests facts that have strengthened the resilience of these emerging economies in the Pacific region against the global financial crisis along with the intensified intra-regional economic integration through trade and investment. The book also examines their macroeconomic management focusing on monetary policy regimes and suggests that their factual unorthodox policies with exchange rate management and capital controls have contributed to their resilience against the intrinsic volatility of the international capital market and financial flows.  Machine Working: Big Data With The Help Of Python And C++, Guides For Absolute Beginners by Rene Pigram English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09NH7JB4M | 163 pages | EPUB | 0.18 Mb Big data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from, or otherwise, deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software.  Machine Learning with Python: The Ultimate Guide to Learn Machine Learning Algorithms. Includes a Useful Section about Analysis, Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence in Business Applications. by AI Academy English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B084T69871 | 192 pages | EPUB | 0.64 Mb Are you looking for a complete guide of machine learning and artificial intelligence?  Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms: Tools and Techniques Using MATLAB and Python English | 2019 | ISBN: 9388511131 | 280 Pages | EPUB | 9 MB Machine learning is mostly sought in the research field and has become an integral part of many research projects nowadays including commercial applications, as well as academic research. Application of machine learning ranges from finding friends on social networking sites to medical diagnosis and even satellite processing. In this book, we have made an honest effort to make the concepts of machine learning easy and give basic programs in MATLAB right from the installation part. Although the real-time application of machine learning is endless, however, the basic concepts and algorithms are discussed using MATLAB language so that not only graduation students but also researchers are benefitted from it. |
