![]() Carole Boston Weatherford (Author), Floyd Cooper, "Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre" English | 2021 | ISBN: 1541581202 | 32 pages | EPUB | 65.1 MB Winner of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards for Author and Illustrator ![]() Unmanned: Drone Warfare and Global Security By Ann Rogers, John Hill 2014 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0745333346 | PDF | 6 MB Drones have become the controversial new weapon of choice for the US military abroad. Unmanned details the causes and deadly consequences of this terrifying new development in warfare, and explores the implications for international law and global peace. Ann Rogers and John Hill argue that drones represent the first truly globalised technology of war. The book shows how unmanned systems are changing not simply how wars are fought, but the meaning of conflict itself. Providing an unparalleled account of new forms of 21st century imperial warfare, Unmanned shows how drone systems dissolve the conventional obstacles of time and space that have traditionally shaped conflict in the international system. It considers the possibility that these weapons will become normalised in global conflict, raising the spectre of new, unpredictable and unaccountable forms of warfare. ![]() Unlocking the Emotional Brain: Eliminating Symptoms at Their Roots Using Memory Reconsolidation by Bruce Ecker English | ISBN: 0415897173, 1032117540 | 244 pages | EPUB | September 24, 2012 | 1.66 Mb In Unlocking the Emotional Brain, authors Ecker, Ticic, and Hulley equip readers to carry out focused, empathic therapy using the potent process of memory reconsolidation, the recently discovered and only known process for actually unlocking emotional memory at the synaptic level.

Without a scientific framework on which to base them, however, such decisions are often unsystematic and inconsistent. Providing a clear and defined starting point for any behavioural study, this is the first book to make available a set of principles for how to study the organisation of behaviour and, in turn, for how to use those insights to select what to measure. The authors provide enough theory to allow the reader to understand the derivation of the principles, and draw on numerous examples to demonstrate clearly how the principles can be applied. By providing a systematic framework for selecting what behaviour to measure, the book lays the foundations for a more scientific approach for the study of behaviour. ![]() Arnold van de Laar, "Under the Knife: A History of Surgery in 28 Remarkable Operations" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1250200105 | EPUB | pages: 368 | 16.3 mb Surgeon Arnold van de Laar uses his own experience and expertise to tell this engrossing history of surgery through 28 famous operations―from Louis XIV and Einstein to JFK and Houdini. ![]() Laurence Tribe, "Uncertain Justice: the Roberts court and the constitution" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1250069351, 0805099093 | EPUB | pages: 401 | 0.8 mb "Irresistible...A brilliantly layered account of the Roberts Court filled with memorable stories...This book is a joy to read from start to finish."-Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals and The Bully Pulpit ![]() Treading the Deep: Inspirational Lessons on Life and Leadership by Command Sergeant Major (Ret.)

This new edition will build on the foundation of the first edition while incorporating the progress that has been made in the field of transcriptomics in the past six years, including bioinformatics for data analysis. Written by leading experts, chapters address new subjects such as methodological advances in large-scale sequencing, the sequencing of single-cells, and spatial transcriptomics. The new edition will address how transcriptomics may be used in combination with genetic strategies to identify causative genes in monogenic and complex genetic diseases. Coverage will also explore transcriptomics in challenging groups of diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, bacterial infection, and autoimmune diseases. The updated volume will be useful for geneticists, genome biologists, biomedical researchers, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and students, among others. ![]() Touch: Recovering Our Most Vital Sense by Columbia University Press English | February 23, 2021 | ISBN: 0231199538 | 145 pages | PDF | 4.50 Mb Our existence is increasingly lived at a distance.
