 Wake of War: A Novel by Zac Topping English | July 19, 2022 | ISBN: 1250814979 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 3.2 MB Zac Topping's Wake of War is a timely account of the lengths those with power will go to preserve it, and the determination of those they exploit to destroy everything in the name of freedom anew.  Voltammetric Methods in Brain Systems By Richard L. McCreery (auth.), Alan A. Boulton, Glen B. Baker, Ralph N. Adams (eds.) 1995 | 349 Pages | ISBN: 0896033120 | PDF | 27 MB This book is a very useful guide to the different voltammetry "engines" currently in use...all research groups involved in vivo voltammetry would be well advised to have a copy of this book. It is an invaluble source for...the different techniques and research workers in the field.-Quarterly Review of Biology  Helen Taylor, Sharon Wright, "Urban Schools: Designing for High Density" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1859468810 | 160 pages | EPUB | 50.9 MB When space is tight how can a city provide the best education experience for children? Is a multi-storey school really a poor option? Can high-quality play opportunities be provided without playgrounds? This book explores the design of schools in urban settings, the increased challenges in meeting the typical expectations of school design, and what the successful new typology of a school in a city might be. A practical guide as well as a theoretical exploration of ideas, this book outlines successful international contemporary and historical case studies, providing much-needed guidance for architects and others working in education design in dense urban environments.  Nic Low, "Uprising: Walking the Southern Alps of New Zealand" English | 2021 | ISBN: 1925355284 | EPUB | 11.6 MB This book is about walking as a form of knowing. Armed with Ngāi Tahu's traditional oral maps and modern satellite atlas, I crossed the Southern Alps more than a dozen times, trying to understand how our forebears saw the land. What did it mean to define your identity by sacred mountains, or actually see them as ancestors, turned to stone?
 UNDERSTANDING CREDIT AND CREDIT DEBT FINANCES: Live a better life financially with excellent credit by RAZAQ ADEKUNLE English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09VY93HPS | 112 pages | EPUB | 0.17 Mb Credit cards make spending money so easy. The process is one step removed and makes us far less careful about it than if we were handing over our hard-earned currency. The combination of this with the fact that they are so easy to obtain for most people can be a recipe for disaster.  Karyn Harvey, "Trauma-Informed Behavioral Interventions: What Works and What Doesn't" English | ISBN: 1937604047 | 2012 | 144 pages | EPUB | 448 KB In this book, the author describes ''what doesn't work'' by outlining the ways in which individuals with intellectual disability may have been damaged by the ''behavioral'' approach to their day-to-day actions. She demonstrates what has been missed through this approach: Needs have not been met, individuals have been misdiagnosed, and trauma responses have been triggered through the exclusive use of behavioral controls, both positive and negative.
 Malachi Jenkins, Roberto Smith, "Trap Kitchen: Mac N' All Over The World: Bangin' Mac N' Cheese Recipes from Around the World" English | ISBN: 195422026X | 2022 | EPUB | 128 pages | 96 MB Foreword by Snoop Dogg  Transgenic Xenopus : Microinjection Methods and Developmental Neurobiology By Shlomo Seidman, Hermona Soreq (auth.) 1997 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 0896034577 | PDF | 14 MB The need to better understand the molecular, b- chemical, and cellular processes by which a developing neuronal system unfolds has led to the development of a unique set of experimental tools and organisms. Special emphasis was devoted to allowing us access, at the ear- est stages, to the genomic basis underlying the system's ultimate complexity, as exhibited once its structures are fully formed. Yet, nerve cells are anatomically, physiolo- cally, and biochemically diverse. The multitude of d- tinctly different routes for their development thus makes the developing nervous system especially intriguing for molecular neurobiologists. In particular, the demands of modern molecular neuroscience call for the establishment of efficient yet versatile systems for studying these c- plex processes. Transgenic embryos of the frog Xenopus laevis offer an excellent system for approaching neuroscientific issues. Insertion of foreign genes is performed simply, by mic- injection under binocular observation; hundreds of in vitro-fertilized embryos can be microinjected in one experiment. Embryos develop in tap water, at room t- perature, and within a few days become independent swimming tadpoles with fully functioning neuromus- lar systems. Being relatively small, these organisms are amenable to detailed analyses at the levels of mRNA, protein, and cell. Their rapid development permits the study of morphogenetic processes involved in early development, such as myogenesis and neural induction, as well as those involved in organogenesis and formation of the brain, the musculature, and the interconnections between them. Foreign DNA remains predominantly extrachromosomal.
 Transformations in Research, Higher Education and the Academic Market: The Breakdown of Scientific Thought By Ylva Hasselberg, Sharon Rider (auth.), Sharon Rider, Ylva Hasselberg, Alexandra Waluszewski (eds.) 2013 | 222 Pages | ISBN: 9400752482 | PDF | 2 MB This volume tackles head-on the controversy regarding the tensions between the principles underlying Academe on the one hand, and the free market on the other. Its outspoken thesis posits that seemingly irresistible institutional pressures are betraying a core principle of the Enlightenment: that the free pursuit of knowledge is of the highest value in its own right. As 'market principles' are forced on universities, inducing a neoteric culture of 'managerialism', many worry that the very characteristics that made European higher education in particular such a success are being eroded and replaced by ideological opportunism and economic expediency.Richly interdisciplinary, the anthology explores a wealth of issues such as the phenomenon of bibliometrics (linking an institution's success to the volume and visibility of publications produced). Many argue that the use of such indicators to measure scientific value is inimical to the time-consuming complexities of genuine truth-seeking. A number of the greatest discoveries and innovations in the history of science, such as Newton's laws of mechanics or the Mendelian laws of inheritance, might never have seen the light of day if today's system of determining and defining the form and content of science had dominated. With analytical perspectives from political science, economics, philosophy and media studies, the collection interrogates, for example, the doctrine of graduate employability that exerts such a powerful influence on course type and structure, especially on technical and professional training. In contrast, the liberal arts must choose between adaptation to the dictates of employability strategies or wither away as enrollments dwindle and resources evaporate. Research projects and aims have also become an area of controversy, with many governments now assessing the value of proposals in terms of assumed commercial benefits. The contributors argue that these changes, as well as 'reforms' in the managerial and administrative structures in tertiary education, constitute a radical break with the previous ontology of science and scholarship: a change in its very character, and not merely its form. It shows that the 'scientific thinking' students, researchers, and scholars are encouraged to adopt is undergoing a rapid shift in conceptual content, with significant consequences not only for science, but also for the society of which it is a part.  Thomas' Calculus: 2 Volumes English | 2018 | ISBN: 0134438981 | 1213 Pages | PDF (True) | 27 MB Thomas' Calculus helps students reach the level of mathematical proficiency and maturity you require, but with support for students who need it through its balance of clear and intuitive explanations, current applications, and generalized concepts. In the 14th Edition, new co-author Christopher Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) partners with author Joel Hass to preserve what is best about Thomas' time-tested text while reconsidering every word and every piece of art with today's students in mind. The result is a text that goes beyond memorizing formulas and routine procedures to help students generalize key concepts and develop deeper understanding. |
