Although his writings on the subject have been few, Wittgenstein developed influential and controversial theories on both religion (and magic) which emphasize the distinctive nature of religious discourse and how this nature can be misunderstood when viewed in direct competition with science.

 White Balance: How Hollywood Shaped Colorblind Ideology and Undermined Civil Rights by Justin Gomer English | June 29, 2020 | ISBN: 1469655799, 1469655802 | 268 pages | PDF | 3 MB The racial ideology of colorblindness has a long history. In 1963, Martin Luther King famously stated, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." However, in the decades after the civil rights movement, the ideology of colorblindness co-opted the language of the civil rights era in order to reinvent white supremacy, fuel the rise of neoliberalism, and dismantle the civil rights movement's legal victories without offending political decorum. Yet, the spread of colorblindness could not merely happen through political speeches, newspapers, or books. The key, Justin Gomer contends, was film-as race-conscious language was expelled from public discourse, Hollywood provided the visual medium necessary to dramatize an anti-civil rights agenda over the course of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.  James C. Zimring, "What Science Is and How It Really Works" English | ISBN: 1108476856, 1108701647 | 2019 | EPUB | 402 pages | 3 MB Scientific advances have transformed the world. However, science can sometimes get things wrong, and at times, disastrously so.  Sujal Desai, "Webb, Müller and Naidich's High-Resolution CT of the Lung" English | ISBN: 1975144430 | 2021 | 750 pages | PDF | 97 MB Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2021!  Robert Tracy McKenzie, "We the Fallen People: The Founders and the Future of American Democracy" English | ISBN: 0830852964 | 2021 | 304 pages | EPUB | 8 MB The success and survival of American democracy have never been guaranteed. Political polarization, presidential eccentricities, the trustworthiness of government, and the prejudices of the voting majority have waxed and waned ever since the time of the Founders, and there are no fail-safe solutions to secure the benefits of a democratic future. What we must do, argues the historian Robert Tracy McKenzie, is take an unflinching look at the very nature of democracy―its strengths and weaknesses, what it can promise, and where it overreaches. And this means we must take an unflinching look at ourselves. presents a close look at the ideas of human nature to be found in the history of American democratic thought, from the nation's Founders through the Jacksonian Era and Alexis de Tocqueville. McKenzie, following C. S. Lewis, claims there are only two reasons to believe in majority rule: because we have confidence in human nature―or because we don't. The Founders subscribed to the biblical principle that humans are fallen and their virtue is always doubtful, and they wrote the US Constitution to frame a republic intended to handle our weaknesses. But by the presidency of Andrew Jackson, contrary ideas about humanity's inherent were already taking deep root among Americans, bearing fruit in such perils as we now face for the future of democracy. Focusing on the careful reasoning of the Founders, the seismic shifts of the Jacksonian Era, and the often misunderstood but still piercing analysis of Tocqueville's , McKenzie guides us in a conversation with the past that can help us see the present―and ourselves―with new insight.

Winn, "Way Beyond Compare: The Beatles' Recorded Legacy, Volume One, 1957-1965" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0307451577 | EPUB | pages: 416 | 2.3 mb An answered prayer for Beatles fans and collectors, the first volume of a unique work that exhaustively chronicles all known and available Beatles recordings!  Wavelets in Neuroscience by Alexander E. Hramov English | PDF | 2021 | 397 Pages | ISBN : 3030759911 | 13.2 MB This book illustrates how modern mathematical wavelet transform techniques offer fresh insights into the complex behavior of neural systems at different levels: from the microscopic dynamics of individual cells to the macroscopic behavior of large neural networks. It also demonstrates how and where wavelet-based mathematical tools can provide an advantage over classical approaches used in neuroscience. The authors well describe single neuron and populational neural recordings.  Waveform Design for 5G and beyond Systems by Kwonhue Choi English | PDF | 2022 | 104 Pages | ISBN : 3036531750 | 3.6 MB 5G traffic has very diverse requirements with respect to data rate, delay, and reliability. The concept of using multiple OFDM numerologies adopted in the 5G NR standard will likely meet these multiple requirements to some extent. |
