 Yoeri Albrecht, "Re:Thinking Europe: Thoughts on Europe: Past, Present and Future" English | ISBN: 9462983151 | 2016 | 318 pages | PDF | 1193 KB What is Europe? This question is ever more pressing, as present day Europe wallows in crisis - its deepest since the process of European integration took off in the 1950s. The current state of affairs sets the stage for this book. It brings together leading international thinkers and scholars of different generations in a feverish quest to better understand Europe's present state.  Quantum Mechanics for Nuclear Structure, Volume 1: A primer English | 2020 | ISBN: 0750321776 | 281 Pages | PDF EPUB MOBI (True) | 38 MB This book - the first of a two-volume set - provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics for nuclear structure for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students entering the field. The goal is the theoretical description of nuclear structure, beginning with logical foundations based on linear spaces and operators, as applied to two-state systems: both polarized photons and spin-1/2 particles. This leads to the logic behind the physical structure and an axiomatic formulation using linear spaces and operators. The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator is featured as the epitome of the mathematics and the physics. Matrix mechanics is introduced as the fundamental approach needed for calculations of eigenstates. The basics of measurement theory are covered. Wave functions and time dependence are developed using continuous transformation operators. A basic introduction to group theory and the algebra of angular momentum is given. Central force problems are handled algebraically. Finally, charged particle motion in a magnetic field is quantized to illustrate the power of algebraic approaches.

Protecting Whiteness: Whitelash and the Rejection of Racial Equality by Cameron D. Lippard, J. Scott Carter English | Dec 15, 2020 | ISBN: 0295747986, 0295747994 | 296 pages | PDF | 3 MB The standoff at Cliven Bundy's ranch, the rise of white identity activists on college campuses, and the viral growth of white nationalist videos on YouTube vividly illustrate the resurgence of white supremacy and overt racism in the United States. White resistance to racial equality can be subtle as well―like art museums that enforce their boundaries as elite white spaces, "right on crime" policies that impose new modes of surveillance and punishment for people of color, and environmental groups whose work reinforces settler colonial norms.  Postcolonial Borges: Argument and Artistry by Robin Fiddian English | October 10, 2017 | ISBN: 0198794711 | True EPUB | 224 pages | 0.4 MB Postcolonial Borges is the first systematic account of geo-political and postcolonial themes in a range of writings by Borges, from the poetry and essays of the 1920s, through the prose and poetry of the middle years (the 40s, 50s, and 60s), to the stories of El informe de Brodie and the poems of La cifra and other later collections. Robin Fiddian analyses the development of a postcolonial sensibility in works such as 'Mythical Founding of Buenos Aires', 'Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius', 'Theme of the Traitor and the Hero', and 'Brodie's Report'. He examines Borges's treatment of national and regional identity, and of East-West relations, in several essays and poems, contained, for example, in Other Inquisitions and Seven Nights. The theoretical concepts of 'coloniality' and 'Occidentalism' shed new light on several works by Borges, who acquires a sharper political profile than previously acknowledged. Fiddian pays special attention to Oriental subjects in Borges's works of the 70s and 80s, where their treatment is bound up with a critique of Occidental values and assumptions.  Piero della Francesca: Artist and Man by James R. Banker English | April 15, 2014 | ISBN: 0199609314 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 7.1 MB Largely neglected for the four centuries after his death, the fifteenth century Italian artist Piero della Francesca is now seen to embody the fullest expression of the Renaissance perspective painter, raising him to an artistic stature comparable with that of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.  Perspectives on Localization By Keiran J. Dunne 2006 | 362 Pages | ISBN: 9027231893 | PDF | 4 MB Over the past two decades, international trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA have lowered international trade barriers. At the same time, the information revolution has fueled profound shifts in the ways companies conduct business and communicate with their customers, and worldwide acceptance of the ISO 9000 standard has established the notion that quality must be defined in terms of customer satisfaction. Falling trade barriers and rising quality standards have made linguistic and cultural issues increasingly important. To successfully compete in today's global on-demand economy, companies must localize their products and services to fit the needs of the local market in terms of language, culture, functionality, work practices, as well as legal and regulatory requirements. In recognition of the growing importance of localization, this volume explores a certain number of key issues, including: * Return on investment and the localization business case * Localization cost drivers and cost-containment strategies * Localization quality and customer-focused quality management * Challenges posed by localization of games, including Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) * Using a meta-language to facilitate accurate translation of disembodied content * The case for managing source-language terminology * Terminology management in the localization process * Reconciling industry needs and academic objectives in localization education * Localization standards and the commoditization of linguistic information * The creation and application of language industry standards * Rethinking customer-focused localization through user-centered design * Moving from translation reuse to language reuse  Parenting and Couple Relationships Among LGBTQ+ People in Diverse Contexts English | 2021 | ISBN: 303084188X | 601 Pages | PDF EPUB | 3 MB This book analyzes how the increasing number of same-sex couples is changing the traditional concepts of family and parenthood, and how these changes affect the psychological studies of family, couple relationships and human development. The majority of chapters included in this contributed volume present results of research conducted with LGBTQ+ people in Brazil, a country where same-sex couples have been recognized by the national legislation since 2011, but is currently facing a conservative wave which threatens much of the victories gained by the LGBTQ+ movement in recent years. That's why this book aims to provide both updated theoretical and methodological contributions as well as ethically and political engaged reflections to the field of psychological studies of LGBTQ+ parenting and couple relationships.  Openhearted: Eighty Years of Love, Loss, Laughter and Letting Go by Ann Ingle English | September 23rd, 2021 | ISBN: 1844885712 | 266 pages | True EPUB | 0.81 MB SHORTLISTED FOR TWO IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2021 |
