 Nancy Whittier, "The Politics of Child Sexual Abuse: Emotion, Social Movements, and the State" English | ISBN: 0199783314 | 2011 | 272 pages | PDF | 1359 KB As recently as 1970, child sexual abuse was seen as extremely rare and usually harmless. Over thirty years later, the media regularly covers child sexual abuse cases, many survivors speak openly about their experiences, and a thriving network of public and private organizations seek to prevent child sexual abuse and remedy its effects. This is the story of these dramatic changes and the activists who helped bring them about.  Kenneth W. Moffett, "The Political Voices of Generation Z " English | ISBN: 0367769050 | 2021 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1218 KB This book explores political expression of members of Generation Z old enough to vote in 2018 and 2020 on issues and movements including MeToo, Supreme Court nominations, March for Our Lives, immigration and family separation, and Black Lives Matter. Since generational dividing lines blur, we study 18 to 25-year-olds, capturing the oldest members of Generation Z along with the youngest Millennials. They share similarities both in their place in the life cycle and experiences of potentially defining events. Through examining some movements led by young adults and others led by older generations, as well as issues with varying salience, core theories are tested in multiple contexts, showing that when young adults protest or post about movements they align with, they become mobilized to participate in other ways, too, including contacting elected officials, which heightens the likelihood of their voices being heard in the halls of power.Perfect for students and courses in a variety of departments at all levels, the book is also aimed at readers curious about contemporary events and emerging political actors.  Angela L. Bos, "The Political Psychology of Women in U.S. Politics " English | ISBN: 1138683248 | 2016 | 254 pages | EPUB | 1219 KB The Political Psychology of Women in U.S. Politics is a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in women and politics. Highly original and drawing from the best available research in psychology and political science, this book is designed to summarize and extend interdisciplinary research that addresses how and why men and women differ as citizens, as political candidates, and as officeholders. The chapters in this volume are focused on differences in the political behavior and perceptions of men and women, yet the chapters also speak to broader topics within American politics - including political socialization, opinion formation, candidate emergence, and voting behavior. Broadly, this volume addresses the causes and consequences of women's underrepresentation in American government.
 The Physics of Proteins: An Introduction to Biological Physics and Molecular Biophysics by Hans Frauenfelder English | PDF | 2010 | 423 Pages | ISBN : 1441910433 | 33.7 MB Physics and the life sciences have established new connections within the past few decades, resulting in biological physics as an established subfield with strong groups working in many physics departments. These interactions between physics and biology form a two-way street with physics providing new tools and concepts for understanding life, while biological systems can yield new insights into the physics of complex systems.  Manus I. Midlarsky, "The Onset of World War " English | ISBN: 1138793108 | 2015 | 286 pages | EPUB | 1231 KB First published in 1988, this historical and quantitative analysis of war defines systemic world wars as conflicts of wide scope and intensity, which leave profound historical legacies in their wake. Manus Midlarsky examines various possible explanations for the onset of such past wars as the Peloponnesian War, the Thirty Years' War, and World Wars I and II. Midlarsky develops his basic theory of systemic war, outlining the reasons for the absence of wars of this magnitude and describing the violations of certain structural conditions that are associated with the onset of world war.

Cromwell, Morgan Jerkins, "The Living is Easy" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1936932970 | 368 pages | EPUB | 0.51 MB An insightful, witty novel set in early twentieth-century black Boston by the Harlem Renaissance's youngest member.  Allan Frankland, "The Little Psychotherapy Book: Object Relations in Practice" English | ISBN: 0195390814 | 2010 | 200 pages | PDF | 1147 KB Aimed at beginning therapists and those new to object relations, this concise work introduces the reader to the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy from an object relations (O-R) perspective in a dynamic and easy-to-follow way. One of the four main schools of psychodynamic psychotherapy, O-R is regarded as particularly challenging, both conceptually and practically. The book presents object relations in a clear and concise manner that makes it especially applicable for regular use in the clinical setting. Moreover, the author writes in a narrative style similar to actual psychotherapy supervision; dialogues between a therapist and a fictitious patient appear throughout the book to illustrate common clinical situations. Designed to complement actual training in psychotherapy, the book suggests ways in which the therapist can incorporate object relations tools with other forms of therapy, regardless of the clinical setting. Ideal for students, trainees, and clinicians in  Manly Wade Wellman, "The Last Mammoth" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1616462450 | 162 pages | EPUB | 0.86 MB Sam Ward was yearning for adventure when a Cherokee man arrived from a distant village with a tale of a monstrous hairy creature threatening his land.
