Erasmo Gamboa's study of the bracero program during World War II is an important beginning, describing and documenting the labor history of Mexican and Chicano workers in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and contributing to our knowledge of farm labor."―Oregon Historical Quarterly ![]() Methane Activation and Utilization in the Petrochemical and Biofuel Industries by Hua Song, Jack Jarvis, Shijun Meng, Hao Xu, Zhaofei Li, Wenping Li English | EPUB | 2022 | 264 Pages | ISBN : 3030884236 | 64.6 MB This book discusses effective and alternative uses for natural gas (NG) and highlights the utilization of NG in the field of methane activation and chemical production.

Are messianic structures intelligible outside the theological systems in which they were invented? This book seeks to situate the ethical, ontological, and literary adoptions of messianism within the broader contours of messianic thought.The gesture by Benjamin, Rosenzweig, and others of detaching messianism from the person of the messiah, understanding it instead as a redemptive potential inherent in all human history, is one facet of a broad move in political theory, philosophy, linguistics, and historiography to redeem secular thinking through theological figures.Yet already within religious discourse the messiah figure is paradoxical. With the invocation of a future arrival "to come," history is opened, yet the previous assumption of an end threatens to shut it off from whatever unexpected might come. The coming arrival, so certain, so complete, will have already come in an anteriority that seems to cancel the future and close down historical life before it starts. ![]() Richard E Mack, "Memoir of a Cold War Soldier" English | ISBN: 0873386752 | 2000 | 232 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Fifty years after America's involvement in the Korean War began, Richard E.

Traveling is understood as an act of generating meaning out of movement, displacement andmigration, while the position of traveling subjects is seen as that of a paradoxical liminality, yet carrying the insurgent potential of finding newmodes of agency. The argument evolves from crossing boundaries of one's own body towards radical transgression of borders of identity.Before the traveler is able to transgress the limitations exhorted by forces beyond a single person's grasp, she has to establish the boundariesof her own identity - only in order to shed its steadiness and discover liberating instability. ![]() Mastering Roblox Coding: The unofficial guide to leveling up your Roblox scripting skills and building games using Luau programming English | 2022 | ISBN: 180181404X | 424 Pages | MOBI EPUB (True) | 21 MB ![]() Mastering Financial Pattern Recognition English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781098120467 | 366 Pages | MOBI EPUB (True) | 13 MB Candlesticks have become a key component of platforms and charting programs for financial trading.

Since 1867, when the first of its three volumes was published, it has had a profound effect on politics and economics in theory and practice throughout the world. But Marx wrote in the context of capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century, and his assumptions and analysis need to be updated in order to address to the technological, economic, and industrial change that has followed Capital's initial publication. In Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason, David Harvey not only provides a concise distillation of his famous course on Capital, but also makes the text relevant to the twenty-first century's continuing processes of globalization. This book serves as an accessible window into Harvey's unique approach to Marxism and takes readers on a riveting roller coaster ride through recent global history.
