 Robert E. Hunter, "Nato-the Next Generation: The Next Generation" English | ISBN: 0367005883 | 2019 | 284 pages | EPUB | 1369 KB If NATO is to meet the needs of its sixteen members over the next several decades, it must address issues that go far beyond deterrence and defense: How can consensus be reached on NATO's future? How can public perception of the organization be gauged? How can NATO sustain and bolster worldwide political and economic support? NATO's interests are no longer limited to Western Europe; the Gulf has become a critical area, and Japan and other non-European nations now play a major role in Western security. In this book, composed of keynote speeches and papers delivered in Brussels at the conference on "The Future of NATO and Global Security," a diverse group of distinguished experts and political leaders from Western Europe, the United States, and Japan analyze current problems facing the Western Alliance and consider potential courses of action for the future.
 Jonathan E. Peters, "Music Theory: An in-depth and straight forward approach to understanding music" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1499113374 | ASIN: B00KBBOLSU | EPUB | pages: 342 | 2.8 mb (Includes free life-time access to on-line quizzes, exercises and audio examples)  Muscle Car Interior Restoration Guide by Daniel Strohl English | September 9, 2009 | ISBN: 1613250398 | True EPUB | 164 pages | 182 MB A muscle car has not been fully restored until the interior has been returned to original or like-new condition. Whether a car operates in a northern or southern climate, seats, carpets, and other equipment deteriorate and wear out over time. A factory-original and professional-grade interior restoration is critical for enjoying the driving experience. However, many enthusiasts and owners do not fully understand the techniques and procedures necessary to produce a premium-quality or original restoration.  Ian Bache, "Multilevel Governance and Climate Change: Insights From Transport Policy" English | ISBN: 1783480610 | 2015 | 306 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Based on a major three-year research project, this book explores the various roles of political actors and the policies that deal with the governance of reducing transport-related carbon emissions. Using this clear - and globally crucial - example of climate change governance, the authors are able to tease apart a range of debates and dilemmas and to fully explore the nature, pace and significance of core policies designed to tackle climate change.
 Mark Adams, "Mr. America: How Muscular Millionaire Bernarr Macfadden Transformed the Nation Through Sex, Salad, and the Ultimate Star" English | ISBN: 0060594764 | 2010 | 320 pages | EPUB | 1021 KB "A remarkable story. . . . It is to Mark Adams's great credit that, in Mr. America, he has rescued from obscurity a man whose influence is still felt in this country more than a century after he muscled his way onto the national scene." -Wall Street Journal  Adam Golub, "Monsters in the Classroom: Essays on Teaching What Scares Us" English | ISBN: 1476663270 | 2017 | 264 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Exploring the pedagogical power of the monstrous, this collection of new essays describes innovative teaching strategies that use our cultural fascination with monsters to enhance learning in high school and college courses. The contributors discuss the implications of inviting fearsome creatures into the classroom, showing how they work to create compelling narratives and provide students a framework for analyzing history, culture, and everyday life. Essays explore ways of using the monstrous to teach literature, film, philosophy, theater, art history, religion, foreign language, and other subjects. Some sample syllabi, assignments, and class materials are provided.  Molecular Pathology of the Prions By Rosalind M. Ridley (auth.), Harry F. Baker (eds.) 2001 | 279 Pages | ISBN: 0896039242 | PDF | 41 MB It is now widely agreed that the prion protein plays a key role in the molecular pathogenesis of prion diseases-diseases that involve the misfolding of proteins-in both humans and animals. In Molecular Pathology of the Prions, noted prion researcher Harry Baker has asked internationally recognized investigators to review the latest developments in, and novel approaches to, understanding the prion protein and prion diseases at the molecular level. Utilizing a variety of cutting-edge techniques, these distinguished scientists seek to define the normal function of a prion protein, to detect and measure the early immune response to prion disease, and to discover possible therapeutic targets. They also use transgenic mice and new electrophysiological investigations to elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in prion diseases. Other topics addressed include the neuronal death that occurs in prion disease, the different strains of prion disease agents, and the accumulation of protein deposits within brain parenchyma. State-of-the-art and richly insightful, Molecular Pathology of the Prions captures for basic and clinical neuropathologists the latest developments and approaches to understanding the pathogenesis of prion diseases, including research techniques now likely to enjoy broader application for the more common proteinopathies, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.  Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Transmembrane Transport By Soraya P. Shirazi-Beechey (auth.) 2004 | 407 Pages | ISBN: 3540218378 | PDF | 5 MB All living cells are strictly separated from their surroundings by a membranous lipid bilayer. Into these membranes a variety of transport proteins are embedded that ensure the uptake and secretion of various molecules and ions. In order to respond properly to a changing nutrient supply or demand, as well as to external stress factors, cells must be able to adapt both amount and activity of the corresponding transporters. This book provides readers with state-of-the-art knowledge on the various regulatory mechanisms that control transmembrane transporter expression, activity and their subcellular localisation.
 Modern American History: A Captivating Guide to the Modern History of the United States of America by Captivating History English | May 21, 2022 | ISBN: 1637166389 | 140 pages | EPUB | 1.83 Mb American history has many twists and turns. Are you ready to take the journey?
 Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System: Proceedings of the ESO Workshop Held at Garching, Germany, 2-5 November 1998 By David Jewitt (auth.), A. Fitzsimmons, D. Jewitt, R. M. West (eds.) 2000 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 3540411526 | PDF | 2 MB This volume tries to summarize the status of observational knowledge of the Kuiper Belt. Its recent discovery has revitalized the astromomical study of the Solar System and is beginning to open new and unexpected windows on the physics of planetesimal accretion. With more and better observational data being obtained at the technological limit of current facilities, a new perception of the relationships that exist among the various classes of small Solar System bodies has emerged. The new observations have also motivated a number of fascinating theoretical studies in Solar System dynamics. |
