Stillar 1998 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0761900608 | PDF | 11 MB By outlining and integrating three different perspectives - discourse, rhetoric and social theory - this book provides a comprehensive and well-illustrated framework for the analysis of everyday texts.

These perspectives are then brought together in an extensive analysis of everyday texts. The last chapter examines the principles and consequences of conducting theoretically informed critical textual analysis.  Analyzing Circuit: The Exercises In The Laboratory: Engineering Circuit Analysis by Bud Ryland English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B099F5157H | EPUB | 6.48 Mb A network, in the context of electrical engineering and electronics, is a collection of interconnected components. Network analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the currents through, all network components. There are many techniques for calculating these values. However, for the most part, the techniques assume linear components. Except where stated, the methods described in this article apply only to linear network analysis.  Alluring Monsters: The Pontianak and Cinemas of Decolonization (Film and Culture Series) by Rosalind Galt Ph.D. English | Oct 20, 2021 | ISBN: 023120132X, 0231201338 | 312 pages | PDF | 17 MB The pontianak, a terrifying female vampire ghost, is a powerful figure in Malay cultures, as loved and feared in Southeast Asia as Dracula is in the West. In animist tradition, she is a woman who has died in childbirth, and her vengeful return upsets gender norms and social hierarchies. The pontianak first appeared on screen in late colonial Singapore in a series of popular films that combine indigenous animism and transnational production with the cultural and political force of the horror genre.  Joyce Piert, "Alchemy of the Soul: An African-centered Education " English | ISBN: 1433126990 | 2015 | 161 pages | PDF | 1432 KB It started with a dream, a dream in the night that challenged the dream of the author's life. That dream, which evolved through her personal experiences, was to start an African-centered school. The dream in the night ignited the journey that led to this book, which was to discover answers to critical questions such as: What is an African-centered education model? How do former students perceive this experience? And can, or even should, this educational model be effectively adopted in traditional public schools? Joyce Piert offers this book as a critical resource to parents, educators, potential teachers, community leaders, and policymakers who are seriously pondering the question of how to provide all students with a holistic educational experience. In the vibrant voices of African American young adults share their stories in robust and candid narratives of their educational experiences at an African-centered school.  Rebecca Mills, "Agatha Christie Goes to War " English | ISBN: 0367208520 | 2019 | 184 pages | PDF | 5 MB Agatha Christie has never been substantially considered as a war writer, even though war is a constant presence in her writing. This interdisciplinary collection of essays considers the effects of these conflicts on the social and psychological textures of Christie's detective fiction and other writings, demonstrating not only Christie's textual navigation of her contemporary surroundings and politics, but also the value of her voice as a popular fiction writer reflecting popular concerns. Agatha Christie Goes to War introduces the 'Queen of Crime' as an essential voice in the discussion of war, warfare, and twentieth century literature.  Andreas Fejes, "Adult Education and the Formation of Citizens: A Critical Interrogation " English | ISBN: 0815362803 | 2018 | 150 pages | PDF | 2 MB Adult Education and the Formation of Citizens turns attention towards normative claims about who adults should become through education, and what capacities and skills adults need to develop to become included in society as 'full' citizens. Through these debates, adults are construed as not yet citizens, despite already being citizens in a formal sense; this book problematises such regimes of truth and their related notions of the possibilities and impossibilities of adult education and citizenship.  Adrian Willaert and the Theory of Interval Affect: The 'Musica Nova' Madrigals and the Novel Theories of Zarlino and Vicentino By Timothy R. McKinney 2010 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0754665097 | PDF | 12 MB In the writings of Nicola Vicentino (1555) and Gioseffo Zarlino (1558) is found, for the first time, a systematic means of explaining music's expressive power based upon the specific melodic and harmonic intervals from which it is constructed. But this 'theory of interval affect' originates not with these theorists, but with their teacher, influential Venetian composer Adrian Willaert (1490-1562). Because Willaert left no theoretical writings of his own, Timothy McKinney uses Willaert's music to reconstruct his innovative theories concerning how music might communicate extramusical ideas. For Willaert, the appellations 'major' and 'minor' no longer signified merely the larger and smaller of a pair of like-numbered intervals; rather, they became categories of sonic character, the members of which are related by a shared sounding property of 'majorness' or 'minorness' that could be manipulated for expressive purposes. This book engages with the madrigals of Willaert's landmark Music nova collection and demonstrates that they articulate a theory of musical affect more complex and forward-looking than recognized currently. The book also traces the origins of one of the most widespread musical associations in Western culture: the notion that major intervals, chords and scales are suitable for the expression of happy affections, and minor for sad ones. McKinney concludes by discussing the influence of Willaert's theory on the madrigals of composers such as Vicentino, Zarlino, Cipriano de Rore, Girolamo Parabosco, Perissone Cambio, Francesco dalla Viola, and Baldassare Donato, and describes the eventual transformation of the theory of interval affect from the Renaissance view based upon individual intervals measured from the bass, to the Baroque view based upon invertible triadic entities.
