 DR. Mario Damen, "Constructing and Representing Territory in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe" English | ISBN: 9463726136 | 2021 | 366 pages | PDF | 4 MB In recent political and legal history, scholars seldom specify how and why they use the concept of territory. In research on state-formation processes and nation building, for instance, the term mostly designates an enclosed geographical area ruled by a central government. Inspired by ideas from political geographers, this book explores the layered and constantly changing meanings of territory in late medieval and early modern Europe before cartography and state formation turned boundaries and territories into more fixed (but still changeable) geographical entities. Its central thesis is that assessing the notion of territory in a pre-modern setting involves analysing territorial practices: practices that relate people and power to space(s). The essays in this book not only examine the construction and spatial structure of pre-modern territories but also explore their perception and representation through the use of a broad range of sources: from administrative texts to maps, from stained-glass windows to chronicles.
 Aaron Stephen Moore, "Constructing East Asia: Technology, Ideology, and Empire in Japan's Wartime Era, 1931-1945" English | 2015 | pages: 329 | ISBN: 0804797242, 0804785392 | PDF | 5,2 mb The conventional understanding of Japanese wartime ideology has for years been summed up by just a few words: anti-modern, spiritualist, and irrational. Yet such a cut-and-dried picture is not at all reflective of the principles that guided national policy from 1931-1945. Challenging the status quo, Constructing East Asia examines how Japanese intellectuals, bureaucrats, and engineers used technology as a system of power and mobilization―what historian Aaron Moore terms a "technological imaginary"―to rally people in Japan and its expanding empire. By analyzing how these different actors defined technology in public discourse, national policies, and large-scale infrastructure projects, Moore reveals wartime elites as far more calculated in thought and action than previous scholarship allows. Moreover, Moore positions the wartime origins of technology deployment as an essential part of the country's national policy and identity, upending another predominant narrative―namely, that technology did not play a modernizing role in Japan until the "economic miracle" of the postwar years.  Peter Crawford, "Constantius II: Usurpers, Eunuchs and the Antichrist" English | ISBN: 1783400552 | 2016 | 384 pages | PDF | 10 MB The reign of Constantius II has been overshadowed by that of his titanic father, Constantine the Great, and his cousin and successor, the pagan Julian. However, as Peter Crawford shows, Constantius deserves to be remembered as a very capable ruler in dangerous, tumultuous times.  Trevor Blake, "Confessions of a Failed Egoist: and Other Essays" English | 2014 | pages: 141 | ISBN: 0988553651 | PDF | 1,9 mb Explication, rumination and fulmination from Portland author Trevor Blake. Sixteen selections range from a critique of Objectivism to the career of filmmaker Nabil Shaban (focusing on The Skin Horse, a documentary on the sex lives of cripples). In addition there is a history and usage of Multiple Names (popular from obscure art movements like Neoism to common folk mythologies), a biographical sketch of Baltimore native and mutant tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, among other topics. Putting the "I" in "history", the author touches on a cultural history of Egoism, a personal "trajectory" through Anarchism, and his personal shift on 9/11 are also detailed herein.
 Paul Downes, "Concentric Space as a Life Principle Beyond Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Ricoeur: Inclusion of the Other" English | ISBN: 1138306932 | 2019 | 200 pages | PDF | 5 MB Concentric Space as a Life Principle beyond Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Ricoeur invites a fresh vision of human experience and search for life meanings in terms of potential openings through relational space. Offering a radical spatial rereading of foundational ideas of influential thinkers Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Ricoeur, it argues that these ideas can be rethought for a more fundamental understanding of life, self and other.  Stuart H. Young, "Conceiving the Indian Buddhist Patriarchs in China " English | ISBN: 0824841204 | 2015 | 352 pages | PDF | 15 MB Aśvaghoṣa, Nāgārjuna, and Āryadeva are among the most celebrated Indian patriarchs in Asian Buddhist traditions and modern Buddhist studies scholarship. Scholars agree that all three lived in first- to third-century C.E. India, so most studies have focused on locating them in ancient Indian history, religion, or society. To this end, they have used all available accounts of the Indian patriarchs' lives―in Sanskrit, Tibetan, various Central Asian languages, and Chinese, produced over more than a millennium―and viewed them as bearing exclusively on ancient India. Of these sources, medieval Chinese hagiographies are by far the earliest and most abundant.  Computer Speech: Recognition, Compression, Synthesis by Manfred R. Schroeder English | PDF | 1999 | 338 Pages | ISBN : 3540643974 | 47.3 MB Computer Speech is an introduction to multimedia speech applications and is suitable for nonspecialists.
