 William Sullivan, "SQL Programming & Database Management For Absolute Beginners SQL Server, Structured Query Language Fundamentals" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1979683824 | 162 pages | EPUB | 0.61 MB SQL Made Easy- The Ultimate Step by Step Guide To Success  SEVEN YEARS' WAR by Ruben Ygua English | 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07KJTS6DN | 92 pages | EPUB | 4.01 Mb This conflict, which could well be called World War I, faced Prussia, England-Hannover and Portugal against Saxony, France, Spain, Austria, Russia and Sweden, which fought in Europe, North America, Central America, the west coast of Africa, India and the Philippines. Once again, one of its main causes was the dispute over hegemony between France and Great Britain.  Jeff Chinn, "Russians As The New Minority" English | ISBN: 0367301954 | 2021 | 320 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Twenty-five million Russians live in the newly independent states carved from the territory of the former Soviet Union. When they or their ancestors emigrated to these non-Russian areas, they seldom saw themselves as having moved "abroad." Now, with the dissolution of the USSR, these Russians find themselves to be minorities―often unwelcome―in new states created to fulfill the aspirations of indigenous populations. Will the governments of these newly independent states be able to accept the fact that their populations are multi-national? Will the formerly dominant and privileged Russians be able to live with their new status as equals or, more often, subordinates? To what extent do the new regimes' policies of accommodation or exclusion establish lasting patterns for relations between the titular majorities and the minority Russians? Developing the concept of interactive nationalism, this timely book explores the movement of Russians to the borderlands during the Russian Empire and Soviet times, the evolution of nationality policies during the Soviet era, and the processes of indigenization during the late Soviet period and under the newfound independence of the republics. The authors examine questions of citizenship, language policy, and political representation in each of the successor states, emphasizing the interaction between the indigenous population and the Russians. Through the use of case studies, the authors explore the tragic ethnic violence that has erupted since the demise of the Soviet Union, and weigh strategies for managing national conflict and developing stable democratic institutions that will respect the rights of all ethnic groups.

 Birgit Beumers, "Ruptures and Continuities in Soviet/Russian Cinema: Styles, characters and genres before and after the collapse of the U" English | ISBN: 0367876574 | 2019 | 226 pages | EPUB | 5 MB This book, based on extensive original research, examines how far the collapse of the Soviet Union represented a threshold that initiated change or whether there are continuities which gradually reshaped cinema in the new Russia. The book considers a wide range of films and film-makers and explores their attitudes to genre, character and aesthetic style. The individual chapters demonstrate that, whereas genres shifted and characters developed, stylistic choices remained largely unaffected.  Runtime Verification: A Hands-On Approach in Java by Christian Colombo English | 2022 | ISBN: 303109266X | 209 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB  Rugbeians in the Great War by Daniel J McLean English | February 8, 2020 | ISBN: 1526742853 | 321 pages | PDF | 37 Mb Few schools can claim to have had such a deep and diverse effect on British history as Rugby. Its influence on the sporting field is well-known, but this book examines the roles played by Rugbeians in many different spheres during the Great War. Politicians and academics, Olympians and artists all left their ordinary lives to fight for their country and it was their school which bound them together. Some such as Ernest Swinton, inventor of the tank, and Maurice Hankey, Cabinet Secretary, had direct influence on the shaping of the conflict, whereas others such as Duncan Mackinnon (Olympic gold medal-winning rower) and the Cawley brothers (both Members of Parliament) are remembered primarily for their pre-war achievements. Until now there has never been a volume which traces the extent of Rugby's influence, but this book showcases the extraordinary range of individuals from the school who left their mark on the war and the world at large.

 Riverine Border Practices: People's Everyday Lives on the Thai-Lao Mekong Border by Thanachate Wisaijorn English | PDF | 2022 | 207 Pages | ISBN : 9811628653 | 3.9 MB This book focuses on the ways in which unofficial modes of border crossings are practised by the Thai Ban, along the Mekong Thai-Lao border. In doing so, the book assesses how these border crossings can be theorised as a contribution to existing literature on borderland studies. With that, the book discusses the importance of the notion of the Third Space and its effects on the pluralities of border-crossings in the borderland by weaving together spatial negotiations, temporal negotiations, and negotiations of political subjectivity.  Zhaoyin Wang, Zhiwei Li, Mengzhen Xu, "River Morphodynamics and Stream Ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" English | 2016 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 1138027715 | PDF | 181,5 mb This book focuses on the river morphodynamics and stream ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The objective of the book is to summarize and synthesize the recent studies based on field surveys undertaken in the period 2007-2014. This book was written to serve as a graduate-level text for a course in river dynamics and stream ecology and as a reference text for engineers and researchers engaged in hydropower engineering, fluvial geomorphology and aquatic ecology. The first two chapters serve as an introduction of geomorphological characteristics as well as uplift and its impact on river morphology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Chapters 3-5 cover meandering rivers and cutoff, wetlands and wetland shrinkage,desertification and restoration strategies in the Sanjiangyuan region. Chapter 6 discusses the interaction between erosion and vegetation, and Chapter 7 characterizes the aquatic ecology of the Yarlung Tsangpo and the Sanjiangyuan region. |
