![]() Renal lithiasis or Urolithiasis e chart: Full illustrated by HC-HealthComm English | 2016 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01J5Z1E8C | EPUB | 0.66 Mb Table of Contents ![]() Rape in Art Cinema By Dominique Russell 2010 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 082642967X | PDF | 2 MB Art cinema has always had an aura of the erotic, with the term being at times a euphemism for European films that were more explicit than their American counterparts. This focus on sexuality, whether buried or explicit, has meant a recurrence of the theme of rape, nearly as ubiquitous as in mainstream film. This anthology explores the representation of rape in art cinema. Its aim is to highlight the prevalence and multiple functions of rape in this prestigious mode of filmmaking as well as to question the meaning ofits ubiquity and versatility. Rape in Art Cinema takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together recognized figures such as historian Joanna Burke, philosopher Ann J. Cahill, and film scholars Martin Barker, Tanya Horeck and Scott Mackenzie alongside emerging voices. It is international in scope, with contributors from Canada, the U.S. and Britain coming together to investigate the representation of rape in some of cinema's most cherished films. ![]() Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album: How to Disappear Completely By Marianne Tatom Letts 2010 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0253355702 | PDF | 2 MB How the British rock band Radiohead subverts the idea of the concept album in order to articulate themes of alienation and anti-capitalism is the focus of Marianne Tatom Letts's analysis of Kid A and Amnesiac. These experimental albums marked a departure from the band's standard guitar-driven base layered with complex production effects. Considering the albums in the context of the band's earlier releases, Letts explores the motivations behind this change. She places the two albums within the concept-album/progressive-rock tradition and shows how both resist that tradition. Unlike most critics of Radiohead, who focus on the band's lyrics, videos, sociological importance, or audience reception, Letts focuses on the music itself. She investigates Radiohead's ambivalence toward its own success, as manifested in the vanishing subject of Kid A on these two albums. ![]() Kate Schatz, Miriam Klein Stahl, "Rad Women Worldwide: Artists and Athletes, Pirates and Punks, and Other Revolutionaries Who Shaped History" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0399578862 | EPUB | pages: 112 | 17.2 mb Educational and inspirational, this gift-worthyNew York Timesbestseller from the authors of Rad American Women A-Z,isa bold, illustrated collection of 40 biographical profiles showcasing extraordinary women from across the globe. ![]() R with RStudio for Introductory Statistics by Ramon Hernandez English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B086SP79JD | 180 pages | EPUB | 2.51 Mb This book, R with RStudio for Introductory Statistics, as the first part of a sequence, introduces the student to statistical computing using R as the language/application of choice.

By looking at the history of debates over providence and nature, the volume provides a set of criteria to evaluate providential divine action models, challenging the underlying, theologically contentious assumptions of current discussions on divine providential action. Such assumptions include that God needs causally open spaces in the created world in order to act in it providentially, and the unfitting conclusion that, if this is the case, then God is assumed to act as another cause among causes. In response to these shortcomings, the book presents a comprehensive account of Aquinas' metaphysics of natural causation, contingency, and their relation to divine providence. It offers a fresh and bold metaphysical narrative, based on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, which appreciates the relation between divine providence and natural contingency. ![]() Practical Project Management: Proven Framework That Great Project Managers Use In the Real World by Dmytro Nizhebetskyi English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09V3BZQDC | 515 pages | EPUB | 0.93 Mb There's a huge gap between the theory and practice of project management.

White III, "Policies of Chaos: The Organizational Causes of Violence in China's Cultural Revolution" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0691637482 | PDF | pages: 381 | 5.9 mb The tumult of the Cultural Revolution after 1966 is often blamed on a few leaders in Beijing, or on long-term egalitarian ideals, or on communist or Chinese political cultures. Lynn White shows, however, that the chaos resulted mainly from reactions by masses of individuals and small groups to three specific policies of administrative manipulation: labeling groups, designating bosses, and legitimating violence in political campaigns. These habits of local organization were common after 1949 and gave the state success in short-term revolutionary aims, despite scarce resources and staff-but they also drove millions to attack each other later. ![]() Plant Grow Harvest Repeat: Grow a Bounty of Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers by Mastering the Art of Succession Planting by Meg McAndrews Cowden English | March 15th, 2022 | ISBN: 1643260618 | 288 pages | True EPUB | 52.15 MB "Wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated, and everything you need to know to get more productivity out of your food garden."-Joe Lamp'l, creator and executive producer,Growing a Greener World ![]() Parent Like It Matters: How to Raise Joyful, Change-Making Girls by Ballantine Books English | March 2, 2021 | ISBN: 1984819623 | 256 pages | EPUB | 1.27 Mb An accessible blueprint to embolden our daughters to be critical thinkers, fearless doers, and joyful change agents for our future-from the proud mother of teen activist Marley Dias, founder of 1000BLACKGIRLBOOKS. |
