 Science on the Ropes: Decline of Scientific Culture in the Era of Fake News by Carlos Elías English | EPUB | 2019 | 330 Pages | ISBN : 3030129772 | 3.4 MB In this controversial essay, Carlos Elías addresses the worldwide phenomenon that is threatening the scientific and economic progress of Western countries. The rise and influence of magic and irrationality in the media, in social networks and at universities is a disturbing phenomenon: many Western students no longer want to pursue STEM (Science, Technologies, Engineering, and Math) careers.  Salivary Gland Cancer: From Diagnosis to Tailored Treatment by Lisa Licitra English | EPUB | 2019 | 224 Pages | ISBN : 3030029573 | 64.2 MB This clinically oriented book provides a comprehensive update on the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of salivary gland cancer.

Crosby, "Sacred and Secular: Responses to Life in a Finite World" English | ISBN: 1438486596 | 2022 | 184 pages | PDF | 1513 KB The sacred and the secular-or religion and secularity-differ from one another in many ways, but they must also frequently interact with and can instruct and benefit one another in today's world. This is especially so when neither is reduced to an uninformed distortion or stereotype by the other. Careful analysis of their relationships is needed. Such analysis is especially important in the contemporary world, where the two are being challenged, reshaped, and reformed by the sheer number of changing religious and secular perspectives-all of this taking place within the ferment of an increasingly global society. This book explores past and present ways of distinguishing the two with which Donald A. Crosby either takes issue with or finds to be congenial. It also proposes ways in which the two are not only meaningfully distinguished from one another, but also where their mutually beneficial relationships can be highlighted. A particular conception of the nature of religious faith is compared and contrasted with some influential types of secular faith.  Reverse Logistics: Quantitative Models for Closed-Loop Supply Chains by Rommert Dekker English | PDF | 2004 | 429 Pages | ISBN : 3540406964 | 43.3 MB Reverse logistics concerns the integration of used and obsolete products back into the supply chain as valuable resources. Economic, marketing, and legislative drivers increasingly are leading companies to take back and recover their products after use. The arising product flows pose novel challenges for supply chain management.  Reverse Engineering of Object Oriented Code by Paolo Tonella English | PDF | 2005 | 213 Pages | ISBN : 0387402950 | 9.5 MB In software evolution and maintenance, the ultimate, most reliable description of a system is its source code. Reverse engineering aims at extracting abstract, goal-oriented views from the code, to summarize relevant properties of program computations.  Resistance and Emancipation: Cultural and Poetic Practices By Arturo Casas, Ben Bollig 2011 | 409 Pages | ISBN: 303430160X | PDF | 3 MB This book is a collection of essays developed from the meetings of the 'Poetics of Resistance' network in Leeds (2008) and Santiago de Compostela (2009). The volume contains contributions from an international group of researchers and cultural producers, who are committed to the activation, promotion and analysis of counter-hegemonic practices both in the development and transmission of knowledge and in the emancipatory tools of cultural production. The essays in the collection are written by scholars, activists and artists from around the world and concern subjects as diverse as poetry, film, philosophy, literary theory, plastic arts and television. The relationship between cultural production and resistance lies at the heart of the book's concerns. Creativity and its manifestations in art, cultural production and knowledge production are a vital resource for a type of resistance that draws upon the resolve and contribution of the individual to the same degree that it emphasizes the importance of collective reflection and action. The interaction between artistic production, emancipation and resistance therefore cannot be reduced to a commitment to particular ideologies as expressed in art or writing. Rather, the poetics of resistance and emancipation are produced through the negotiation of the subjective and the collective, of reflection and action, and of cultural practices and ideologies. The volume contains contributions in English and in Spanish.  Keith E. Whittington, "Repugnant Laws: Judicial Review of Acts of Congress from the Founding to the Present " English | ISBN: 0700627790 | 2019 | 432 pages | PDF | 3 MB When the Supreme Court strikes down favored legislation, politicians cry judicial activism. When the law is one politicians oppose, the court is heroically righting a wrong. In our polarized moment of partisan fervor, the Supreme Court's routine work of judicial review is increasingly viewed through a political lens, decried by one side or the other as judicial overreach, or "legislating from the bench." But is this really the case? Keith E. Whittington asks in , a first-of-its-kind history of judicial review.
