 Beverley J. Hunt, Lucilla Poston, Michael Schachter, "An Introduction to Vascular Biology: From Basic Science to Clinical Practice" English | 2002 | pages: 474 | ISBN: 0521796520 | PDF | 9,5 mb This updated and expanded new edition takes full account of recent developments and conveys the basic science underlying a wide range of clinical conditions including atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and pregnancy. As with the first edition, the publication provides an introductory account of vascular biology before leading on to explain mechanisms involved in disease processes. The breadth and range of subjects covered in this new edition do full justice to this increasingly important area of clinical research and medicine. This multidisciplinary approach will suit the needs of all those seeking to refresh their knowledge with the very latest advances from basic science through to clinical practice.  Mr B Sanchez, "An Introduction to Marine Engineering, for Cadets and Deck Officers" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1973150255 | ASIN: B076VYWJJ5 | EPUB | pages: 174 | 1.6 mb This project is aimed at those with no prior knowledge: None at all. Aiming for 'simple is best' and the KISS principle ('keep it simple stupid') means that everything in this book is 'simplified for clarity'. The diagrams will not be over-dense blueprints and, wherever I make a grand sweeping statement, I will completely omit to mention any exceptions to the rule. I'll do my best not to use big words, abbreviations, or use any numbers. To keep us on track, I've put 'look up watchwords' at the end of each part. These are intended to be entered into your favorite internet search engine. By providing these sign posts, those who want more information can go off and get it, whilst the rest of us carry on regardless. With my excuses made, I hope you get as much out this informal introduction to marine engineering as I got from writing it. My only real promise is any revenue made from this tome shall be used exclusively for foolish, unwise and meaningless adventures.  Peter J. Howard, "An Introduction to Landscape" English | ISBN: 140940384X | 2011 | 328 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Inspiring deep emotion, landscape carries many meanings. This book follows the development of several threads of the concept of landscape as they have evolved across disciplines and across countries, leading to the European Landscape Convention and the designation of cultural landscapes as World Heritage Sites. The book introduces the key notions of landscape, such as landscape as meaning, as picture, as scale, as scenery and as place. It also considers the various factors which influence the way in which landscape is perceived now and in the past, with all of the senses. Finally, it looks of the various ways of protecting, managing and enhancing the landscape, taking into account a future of climate change. Beautifully illustrated and including 'capsules' in each section which provide fascinating insights into subjects from reading pictures, to mapping and GIS, through a discussion of the range of types of landscape to issues such as eco-museums, this book provides an excellent introductory overview for any students with an interest in the landscape around us.  An Indefinite Excursion in Operator Theory: Geometric and Spectral Treks in Kreĭn Spaces English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108969038 | 511 Pages | PDF | 4 MB This modern introduction to operator theory on spaces with indefinite inner product discusses the geometry and the spectral theory of linear operators on these spaces, the deep interplay with complex analysis, and applications to interpolation problems. The text covers the key results from the last four decades in a readable way with full proofs provided throughout. Step by step, the reader is guided through the intricate geometry and topology of spaces with indefinite inner product, before progressing to a presentation of the geometry and spectral theory on these spaces. The author carefully highlights where difficulties arise and what tools are available to overcome them. With generous background material included in the appendices, this text is an excellent resource for researchers in operator theory, functional analysis, and related areas as well as for graduate students.  An Economic Philosophy of Production, Work and Consumption: A Transhistorical Framework English | 2023 | ISBN: 036752225X | 209 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB An Economic Philosophy of Production, Work and Consumption presents a new transhistorical framework of defining production, work and consumption. It shows that they all share the common feature of intentional physical transformation of something external to the agent, at some point in time.  Deirdre McKay, "An Archipelago of Care: Filipino Migrants and Global Networks " English | ISBN: 0253024676 | 2016 | 196 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Focusing on the experience of Filipino caregivers in London, some of whom are living and working illegally in their host country, Deirdre McKay considers what migrant workers must do to navigate their way in a global marketplace. She draws on interviews and participant observations, her own long-term fieldwork in communities in the Philippines, and digital ethnography to present an intricate consideration of how these caregivers create stability in potentially precarious living situations. McKay argues that these workers gain resilience from the bonding networks they construct for themselves through social media, faith groups, and community centers. These networks generate an elaborate "archipelago of care" through which migrants create their sense of self.  Dan Flores, "American Serengeti: The Last Big Animals of the Great Plains" English | 2017 | ISBN: 070062466X, 0700622276 | 222 pages | AZW3 / EPUB / MOBI | 6.7 MB America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than two hundred years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write, "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals."  Jason W. Davidson, "America's Entangling Alliances: 1778 to the Present" English | ISBN: 1647120292 | 2020 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB A challenge to long-held assumptions about the costs and benefits of America's allies.  Jonathan Haidt, Dave Cicirelli, Richard Reeves, "All Minus One: John Stuart Mill's Ideas on Free Speech Illustrated, Second Edition" English | 2021 | ISBN: 0692087141 | ASIN: B094176K1C | EPUB | pages: 63 | 2.7 mb The 2nd edition of All Minus One published by Heterodox Academy: John Stuart Mill's On Liberty-just the 2nd chapter-made accessible for the 21st century, with gorgeous illustrations. Reeves (a biographer of Mill) and Haidt (a social psychologist) summarize Mill's three timeless arguments for free speech and the value of viewpoint diversity. They then reduce the text to half its original length, allowing Mill's best arguments and metaphors to shine. Artist Dave Cicirelli illustrates those metaphors to amplify their intuitive power. Ideal for use in college courses, or in any organization in which people would benefit from productive disagreement.  Mandeep Singh, "Air Defence Artillery in Combat, 1972 to the Present: The Age of Surface-to-Air Missiles" English | ISBN: 1526762048 | 2020 | 256 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Having made its debut in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, anti-aircraft artillery was used extensively in the First World War. It was, however, not until the Second World War that anti-aircraft artillery truly came into prominence, shooting down more aircraft than any other weapon and seriously affecting the conduct of air operations. |
