Africa gets lost in this equation, Daniel Jordan Smith argues, transformed into a mere vehicle to explain AIDS, and in AIDS Doesn't Show Its Face, he offers a powerful reversal, using AIDS as a lens through which to view Africa.  Bonneson, James A, "AASHTO HSM-1 2014 SUPPLEMENT 2014 Supplement to the Highway Safety Manual, First Edition" English | 2010 | pages: 1203 | ISBN: 1560516003 | PDF | 42,0 mb The Highway Safety Manual Supplement includes two new chapters that help utilize the predictive method to estimate the expected average crash frequency (in total, by crash type, or by crash severity) for both freeways and ramps with known characteristics. The third chapter, Appendix B for Part C, describes two specialized procedures to be used with the predictive method presented in the new Chapters 18 and 19; the first procedure is used to calibrate the predictive models; the second, the Empirical Bayes Method, helps combine observed crash frequencies with the estimates provided by the predictive models.  A Transdiagnostic Approach to Develop Organization, Attention and Learning Skills: The GOALS Treatment Manual for College Students English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032058765 | 151 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB  A Short History of Transport in Japan from Ancient Times to the Present by John Andrew Black English | 2022 | ISBN: 1800643578 | 322 Pages | True PDF | 4.68 MB  James Williams, "A Process Philosophy of Signs" English | ISBN: 0748695001 | 2016 | 208 pages | PDF | 699 KB We usually think of signs as fixed relations: a red light signifies 'Stop'. In his bold new book, James Williams argues that signs are processes: you see the red light and think 'should I stop?', triggering a creative response. Williams develops this new process philosophy of signs through a formal model , in contrast to earlier structuralist definitions. He draws on the philosophies of Deleuze and Whitehead, criticises earlier work on the sign in biology by Jakob von Uexküll, and connects to contemporary work on process in the philosophy of biology by John Dupré. The process model has wide applications in the arts, humanities and social sciences, and informs their critical debates with science. In defining the sign as essentially political, this radical definition of the sign opens up new possibilities for social and political critique.  Gordon K. Hirabayashi, "A Principled Stand: The Story of Hirabayashi v. United States " English | ISBN: 0295992700 | 2013 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB In 1943, University of Washington student Gordon Hirabayashi defied the curfew and mass removal of Japanese Americans on the West Coast, and was subsequently convicted and imprisoned as a result. In A Principled Stand, Gordon's brother James and nephew Lane have brought together his prison diaries and voluminous wartime correspondence to tell the story of Hirabayashi v. United States, the Supreme Court case that in 1943 upheld and on appeal in 1987 vacated his conviction. For the first time, the events of the case are told in Gordon's own words. The result is a compelling and intimate story that reveals what motivated him, how he endured, and how his ideals changed and deepened as he fought discrimination and defended his beliefs.  A Primer on Theoretical Soil Mechanics English | 2022 | ISBN: 1009210335 | 199 Pages | PDF | 10 MB A Primer to Theoretical Soil Mechanics is about adapting continuum mechanics to granular materials. The field of continuum mechanics offers many fruitful concepts and methods, however there is declining interest in the field due to its complex and fragmented nature. This book's purpose is therefore to facilitate the understanding of the theoretical principles of soil mechanics, as well as introducing the new theory of barodesy. This title argues for barodesy as a simple alternative to the plasticity theory used currently and provides a systematic insight into this new constitutive model for granular materials. This book therefore introduces a complex field from a fresh and innovative perspective using simple concepts, succinct equations and explanatory sketches. Intended for advanced undergraduates, graduates and PhD students, this title is also apt for researchers seeking advanced training on fundamental topics.  A Practical Introduction to Enterprise Network and Security Management 2nd Edition English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367642514 | 446 Pages | PDF (True) | 39 MB A Practical Introduction to Enterprise Network and Security Management, Second Edition, provides a balanced understanding of introductory and advanced subjects in both computer networking and cybersecurity.

Smriti Srinivas, "A Place for Utopia: Urban Designs from South Asia " English | ISBN: 0295997389 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Exploring several utopian imaginaries and practices, A Place for Utopia ties different times together from the early 20th century to the present, the biographical and the anthropological, the cultural and the conjunctional, South Asia, Europe, and North America. It charts the valency of "utopia" for understanding designs for alternative, occluded, vernacular, or emergent urbanisms in the last hundred years. Central to the designs for utopia in this book are the themes of gardens, children, spiritual topographies, death, and hope. |
