Barbara J. Mills, "Alternative Leadership Strategies in the Prehispanic Southwest" English | 2000 | pages: 310 | ISBN: 0816520283 | PDF | 11,1 mb In considerations of societal change, the application of classic evolutionary schemes to prehistoric southwestern peoples has always been problematic for scholars. Because recent theoretical developments point toward more variation in the scale, hierarchy, and degree of centralization of complex societies, this book takes a fresh look at southwestern prehistory with these new ideas in mind. Algorithms and Order by Ivan Rival English | PDF | 1989 | 491 Pages | ISBN : 0792300076 | 38.8 MB This volume contains the texts of the principal survey papers presented at ALGORITHMS -and ORDER, held· at Ottawa, Canada from June 1 to June 12, 1987.

Elizabeth Henson, "Agrarian Revolt in the Sierra of Chihuahua, 1959-1965" English | 2019 | pages: 297 | ISBN: 0816538735 | PDF | 6,3 mb The early 1960s are remembered for the emergence of new radical movements influenced by the Cuban Revolution. One such protest movement rose in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. With large timber companies moving in on the forested sierra highlands, campesinos and rancheros did not sit by as their lands and livelihoods were threatened. Continuing a long history of agrarian movements and local traditions of armed self-defense, they organized and demanded agrarian rights. John Alcock, "After the Wildfire: Ten Years of Recovery from the Willow Fire" English | 2017 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 0816534039 | PDF | 11,7 mb Swallowtail butterflies frolic on the wind.

After the Wildfire describes the remarkable recovery of wildlife in the Mazatzal Mountains in central Arizona.
Assata Zerai, "African Women, ICT and Neoliberal Politics: The Challenge of Gendered Digital Divides to People-Centered Governance " English | ISBN: 1138559369 | 2018 | 171 pages | EPUB | 1135 KB How can we promote people-centered governance in Africa? Cell phones/ information and communications technology (ICT) are shown to be linked to neoliberal understandings of more democratic governance structures, defined by the Worldwide Governance Indicators as: the rule of law, corruption-control, regulation quality, government effectiveness, political stability/no violence, and voice and accountability. However, these indicators fall short: they do note emphasize gender equity or pro-poor policies.

Regina Horta Duarte, "Activist Biology: The National Museum, Politics, and Nation Building in Brazil" English | 2016 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 081653201X | PDF | 3,4 mb Brazilian society was shaken by turmoil in the 1920s and 1930s. The country was rocked by heated debates over race and immigration, burgeoning social movements in cities and the countryside, entrenched oligarchies clinging to power, and nature being despoiled. Against this turbulent backdrop, a group of biology scholars at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro joined the drive to renew the Brazilian nation, claiming as their weapon the voice of their fledgling field. Without discarding scientific rigor, they embraced biology as a creed and activism as a conviction-and achieved success in their bid to influence public policy in environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources. Joy Logan, "Aconcagua: The Invention of Mountaineering on America's Highest Peak" English | 2011 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 0816529507 | PDF | 3,4 mb Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas and the tallest mountain in the world outside of the Himalayas. Located in the Andes Mountains of Argentina, near the city of Mendoza, Aconcagua has been luring European mountain climbers since 1883, when a German ge-ologist nearly reached the mountain's summit. (A Swiss climber finally made the ascent in 1897.) In this fascinating book, Joy Logan explores the many impacts of mountaineering's "discovery" of Aconcagua including its effect on how local indigenous history is understood. The consequences still resonate today, as the region has become a magnet for "adventure travelers," with about 7,000 climbers and trekkers from all over the world visiting each year. Abstract Data Types and Algorithms by Manoochehr Azmoodeh English | PDF | 1990 | 395 Pages | ISBN : 0333512103 | 14.5 MB Intended as a second course on programming with data structures, this book is based on the notion of an abstract data type which is defined as an abstract mathematical model with a defined set of operations. The specification of data types and their corresponding operations are presented in a form directly representable in a Pascal-like language. Part 1 begins by examining the time and space requirements of computer algorithms and develops a notation which is used in the remainder of the book to compare various implementations of abstract data types. Part 2 further describes many algorithms and common techniques for developing efficient algorithms using abstract data types. Programming paradigms such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, graph searching, tabulation techniques and radomized algorithms are discussed. Jack E. Levin, Mark R.
