 Aamir R. Mufti, "Forget English!: Orientalisms and World Literatures" English | ISBN: 0674734777, 067498689X | 2016 | EPUB | 304 pages | 902 KB A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year  Forest BioEnergy Production: Management, Carbon sequestration and Adaptation By Seppo Kellomäki, Antti Kilpeläinen, Ashraful Alam (auth.), Seppo Kellomäki, Antti Kilpeläinen, Ashraful Alam (eds.) 2013 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 1461483905 | PDF | 7 MB For thousands of years, forest biomass or wood has been among the main energy sources of humans around the world. Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels have replaced wood and become the dominant source of energy. The use of fossil fuels has the disadvantage of increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially carbon dioxide (CO2), with the consequent warming of global climate and changes in precipitation. In this context, the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like forest biomass is among the ways to mitigate climate change.This book summarizes recent experiences on how to manage forest land to produce woody biomass for energy use and what are the potentials to mitigate climate change by substituting fossil fuels in energy production. In this context, the book addresses how management can affect the supply of energy biomass using short-rotation forestry and the conventional forestry applying long rotations. Furthermore, the book outlines the close interaction between the ecological systems and industrial systems, which controls the carbon cycle between the atmosphere and biosphere. In this context, sustainable forest management is a key to understand and control indirect carbon emissions due to the utilization of forest biomass (e.g. from management, harvesting and logistics, and ecosystem processes), which are often omitted in assessing the carbon neutrality of energy systems based on forest biomass. The focus in this book is on forests and forestry in the boreal and temperate zones, particularly in Northern Europe, where the woody biomass is widely used in the energy industry for producing energy.  Findom Sisters 1 - 3 by Hellen Heels English | 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07CBRYSDW | 70 pages | EPUB | 1.41 Mb Findom Sisters 1 - 3: Femdom Worship - Public Humiliation - Sissy Hypnosis - Femdom Pegging - Financial Domination  Financial Independence through Real Estate 3: The Advanced Guide to Passive Income from Real Estate by Joshua King English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09ZRMRZXP | 213 pages | EPUB | 6.38 Mb We have come a long way on our real estate journey over the last 18 months, but the fun continues. I'm back for more real estate goodness in my series dedicated to real estate.  Douglas P. McCormick, "Family Inc.: Using Business Principles to Maximize Your Family's Wealth" English | ISBN: 1119577411 | 2019 | 272 pages | PDF | 4 MB Actionable, intelligent CFO training for the Chief Family Financial Officer  Se Hoon Park, "Exporting Urban Korea? " English | ISBN: 0367498405 | 2020 | 236 pages | EPUB | 2 MB A detailed examination of the "Korean development model" from its urban dimension, evaluating its sociopolitical contexts and implications for international development cooperation.  Sara Read, "Exploring the Lives of Women, 1558-1837" English | ISBN: 152674497X | 2019 | 248 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Exploring the Lives of Women, 1558-1837' is an engaging and lively collection of original, thought-provoking essays. Its route from Lady Jane Grey's nine-day reign to Queen Victoria's accession provides ample opportunities to examine complex interactions between gender, rank, and power. Yet the book's scope extends far beyond queens: its female cast includes servants, aristocrats, literary women, opera singers, actresses, fallen women, athletes and mine workers.  H.A. Mavromatis, "Exercises in Quantum Mechanics: A Collection of Illustrative Problems and Their Solutions Ed 2" English | ISBN: 9401051720 | 2012 | 346 pages | PDF | 9 MB This monograph is written within the framework of the quantum mechanical paradigm. It is modest in scope in that it is restricted to some observations and solved illustrative problems not readily available in any of the many standard (and several excellent) texts or books with solved problems that have been written on this subject. Additionally a few more or less standard problems are included for continuity and purposes of comparison. The hope is that the points made and problems solved will give the student some additional insights and a better grasp of this fascinating but mathematically somewhat involved branch of physics. The hundred and fourteen problems discussed have intentionally been chosen to involve a minimum of technical complexity while still illustrating the consequences of the quantum-mechanical formalism. Concerning notation, useful expressions are displayed in rectangular boxes while calculational details which one may wish to skip are included in square brackets. Beirut HARRY A. MAVROMATIS June, 1985 IX Preface to Second Edition More than five years have passed since I prepared the first edition of this mono graph. The present revised edition is more attractive in layout than its predecessor, and most, if not all of the errors in the original edition (many of which were kindly pointed out by reviewers, colleagues, and students) have now been corrected. Additionally the material in the original fourteen chapters has been extended with significant additions to Chapters 8, 13, and 14.  Cristina Videira Lopes, "Exercises in Programming Style" English | ISBN: 1482227371 | 2014 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB Using a simple computational task (term frequency) to illustrate different programming styles, Exercises in Programming Style helps readers understand the various ways of writing programs and designing systems. It is designed to be used in conjunction with code provided on an online repository. The book complements and explains the raw code in a way that is accessible to anyone who regularly practices the art of programming. The book can also be used in advanced programming courses in computer science and software engineering programs.  A. J. Arberry, "Ethical and Religious Classics of East and West" English | ISBN: 1032132671 | 2021 | 1632 pages | PDF | 8 MB In the belief that all the great religions have similarities that confirm and differences that enrich peoples' spiritual outlook on the world, the editors inaugurated a series which they hoped would bring out the essential tenets of religion in what they perceived to be an age of doubt. The series was originally published in the 1950s and consisted of three kinds of books: translations of imaginative, devotional and philosophic works, with an introduction or commentary; reproductions of masterpieces of religious art; and background books showing the environment in which this literature and art arose and developed. The books overlap each other: Both Eastern and Western religious art often illustrates a religious text and many of the books seek the common ground in their cultural view of religion or philosophy. |
