 Stephen J Puetz, "The Unified Cycle Theory: How Cycles Dominate the Structure of the Universe and Influence Life on Earth" English | 2009 | pages: 603 | ISBN: 1432712160 | PDF | 6,5 mb Documented cycles range widely in diversity. They include fluctuations in the stock market, commodity prices, economic activity, wars, civilizations, global climate, ice-ages, geological formations, and abundance of life on Earth. This book examines all of these cycles, plus more. In addition, the Unified Cycle Theory makes predictions about our universe. If you're interested in history, science, geology, physics, astronomy, climatology, biology, mathematics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, economics, or investment theory, then read on. The theory includes portions of all of these academics. Furthermore, this book covers cycles ranging as short as 27 days to ones spanning billions of years. The evidence comes from a variety of scientific, academic, and business sources - which this book methodically details. In spite of the great advances in identifying cycles, this increased knowledge yielded little in the way of providing a consensus about why they occur. This book attempts to correct that shortcoming. These chapters step back, dispose all preconceptions, reexamine the wealth of information available, and use deductive processes to formulate a new theory.

 Srimati Basu, "The Trouble with Marriage: Feminists Confront Law and Violence in India (Volume 1) " English | ISBN: 0520282450 | 2015 | 280 pages | PDF | 3 MB The Trouble with Marriage is part of a new global feminist jurisprudence around marriage and violence that looks to law as strategy rather than solution. In this ethnography of lawyer-free family courts and mediations of rape and domestic violence charges in India, Srimati Basu depicts everyday life in legal sites of marital trouble, reevaluating feminist theories of law, marriage, violence, property, and the state. Basu argues that alternative dispute resolution, originally designed to empower women in a less adversarial legal environment, has created new subjectivities, but, paradoxically, has also reinforced oppressive socioeconomic norms that leave women no better off, individually or collectively.  Michael Modarelli, "The Transatlantic Genealogy of American Anglo-Saxonism " English | ISBN: 1138352608 | 2018 | 222 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book traces the myth of Anglo-Saxonism as it crosses from Britain to the New World as both a cultural construct and ideological nation-building tool. Through extensive investigations of both early American and English cultural attitudes toward Anglo-Saxonism and similar texts, the book advances the claim that the ways in which Anglo-Saxon authors envisioned history as unfolding becomes an important ideological model for later New World conceptions of historical and national identity. From this beginning, the book follows the influence of this adopted American Anglo-Saxonism in early American literature and the socio-cultural implications that follow upon this influence.  Corinna Kruse, "The Social Life of Forensic Evidence" English | ISBN: 0520288394 | 2015 | 208 pages | PDF | 1174 KB In The Social Life of Forensic Evidence, Corinna Kruse provides a major contribution to understanding forensic evidence and its role in the criminal justice system. Arguing that forensic evidence can be understood as a form of knowledge, she reveals that each piece of evidence has a social life and biography. Kruse shows how the crime scene examination is as crucial to the creation of forensic evidence as laboratory analyses, the plaintiff, witness, and suspect statements elicited by police investigators, and the interpretations that prosecutors and defense lawyers bring to the evidence. Drawing on ethnographic data from Sweden and on theory from both anthropology and science and technology studies, she examines how forensic evidence is produced and how it creates social relationships as cases move from crime scene to courtroom. She demonstrates that forensic evidence is neither a fixed entity nor solely material, but is inseparably part of and made through particular legal, social, and technological practices.

Robert J. Richards, "The Romantic Conception of Life: Science and Philosophy in the Age of Goethe" English | 2004 | ISBN: 0226712117, 0226712109 | PDF | pages: 609 | 8.2 mb "All art should become science and all science art; poetry and philosophy should be made one." Friedrich Schlegel's words perfectly capture the project of the German Romantics, who believed that the aesthetic approaches of art and literature could reveal patterns and meaning in nature that couldn't be uncovered through rationalistic philosophy and science alone. In this wide-ranging work, Robert J. Richards shows how the Romantic conception of the world influenced (and was influenced by) both the lives of the people who held it and the development of nineteenth-century science. |
