 Jacqueline Warwick, "Music, Gender, and Sexuality Studies " English | ISBN: 0367487411 | 2022 | 140 pages | PDF | 6 MB Music, Gender, and Sexuality Studies: A Teacher's Guide serves as a guide to the professor tasked with teaching music to undergraduates, with a focus on gender. Although the notion of feminist approaches in musicology was once greeted with scorn, the last 40 years have seen a seismic shift across music studies, to the point that classes on women and music are now commonplace in most undergraduate music program. The goal of this book is to give the instructor some tools and strategies that will build confidence in approaching music as it relates to gender and sexuality, and to offer some advice on how to make the class rewarding for all.  Multifractals and 1/ƒ Noise: Wild Self-Affinity in Physics (1963-1976) by Benoit B. Mandelbrot English | PDF | 1999 | 448 Pages | ISBN : 1461274346 | 42.4 MB Certain noises, many aspects of turbulence, and almost all aspects of finance exhibit a level of temporal and spatial variability whose "wildness" impressed itself vividly upon the author, Benoit Mandelbrot, in the early 1960's. He soon realized that those phenomena cannot be described by simply adapting the statistical techniques of earlier physics, or even extending those techniques slightly. It appeared that the study of finance and turbulence could not move forward without the recognition that those phenomena represented a new second stage of indeterminism. Altogether new mathematical tools were needed. The papers in this Selecta volume reflect that realization and the work that Dr. Mandelbrot did toward the development of those new tools.  Alan A. Stone, Joshua Cohen, "Movies and the Moral Adventure of Life" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0262195674 | PDF | pages: 248 | 26.5 mb Essays on small art films and big-budget blockbusters, including Antonia's Line, American Beauty, S chindler's List, and The Passion of the Christ, that view films as life lessons, enlarging our sense of human possibilities.  Modern Well Test Analysis By Roland N. Horne 1995 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0962699217 | PDF | 11 MB Advances in well test analysis during the 1980's and 90'shave been associated with: (a) the use of pressure derivative Descriptions, (b) the common availability of computer software for rapid graphical presentation, (c) the use of non-linear regression (automated type cure matching), (d) the availability of higher precision, high frequency data, both for pressure and flow rate, and (e) the development of new interpretation models, such as for horizontal wells, layered reservoirs and multiphase flow.This book takes the form of a tutorial emphasizing these aspects of well test interpretation in this new computerized environment. During the book, emphasis is on problem solving, using computerized tools. A companion CD-ROM contains full listings of the data used in many of the examples, as well as a hypertext searchable version of the entire book (in the form of a Windows™ Multimedia Viewer title). A complete well test interpretation software package on the CD-ROM allows you to work with the example data yourself to learn more about how well test interpretation is achieved in practice.  Modeling Peace: Royal Tombs and Political Ideology in Early China (Tang Center Series in Early China) by Jie Shi English | March 24, 2020 | ISBN: 0231191022 | True PDF | 368 pages | 25.6 MB Among hundreds of thousands of ancient graves and tombs excavated to date in China, the Mancheng site stands out for its unparalleled complexity and richness. It features juxtaposed burials of the first king and queen of the Zhongshan kingdom (dated late second century BCE). The male tomb occupant, King Liu Sheng (d. 113 BCE), was sent by his father, Emperor Jing (r. 157-141 BCE), to rule the Zhongshan kingdom near the northern frontier of the Western Han Empire, neighboring the nomadic Xiongnu confederation.  Joan Hunter, "Miracles Happen! " English | ISBN: 1424559502 | 2020 | pages | EPUB | 2 MB Start seeing miracles!  Mineral Resource Estimation by Mario E. Rossi, Clayton V. Deutsch English | PDF | 2014 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 1402057164 | 34.4 MB Mineral resource estimation has changed considerably in the past 25 years: geostatistical techniques have become commonplace and continue to evolve; computational horsepower has revolutionized all facets of numerical modeling; mining and processing operations are often larger; and uncertainty quantification is becoming standard practice. Recent books focus on historical methods or details of geostatistical theory. So there is a growing need to collect and synthesize the practice of modern mineral resource estimation into a book for undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and young geologists and engineers. It is especially fruitful that this book is written by authors with years of relevant experience performing mineral resource estimation and with years of relevant teaching experience. This comprehensive textbook and reference fills this need.  Josh Gregory, "Minecraft Dungeons: Beginner's Guide " English | ISBN: 166891137X | 2022 | 32 pages | EPUB | 5 MB By taking the focus off mining and building and placing it squarely on exploration and action, Minecraft Dungeons offers players a whole new way to enjoy the colorful world of Minecraft. In this book, readers will learn everything they need to get started on their own Minecraft Dungeons adventures. Includes table of contents, author biography, sidebars, glossary, index, and informative backmatter.  Heide Castañeda, "Migration and Health: Critical Perspectives " English | ISBN: 1138490431 | 2022 | 166 pages | PDF | 9 MB Migration and Health: Critical Perspectives offers a radical rethinking of the field by unsettling conventional ideas of mobility and borders to highlight the ways in which they produce health inequalities. Covering a wide range of topics, the text provides insight through a critical lens, and proposes areas for intervention along with an added emphasis on the need for future research to address the health inequities that affect migrants. It illustrates how a critical perspective can deepen our understanding of the relationship between migration and health, which remains a defining global issue of our century. |
