Entangled Fictions

Entangled Fictions
Suvadip Sinha, "Entangled Fictions "
English | ISBN: 1032231718 | 2022 | 176 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Entangled Fictions: Nonhuman Animals in an Indian World studies the ethical and affective relationships between human and nonhuman animals in Indian fictional worlds. While drawing upon existing theoretical and philosophical texts with nonhumanist underpinnings, Entangled Fictions argues that the corpus is limited epistemologically and politically when it comes to their examinations of the nonhuman in India. Deeply influenced by the political/existential expediencies of our times, the book traverses several genres, shifts from fictional to anecdotal, and transitions from autobiographical to spectra in effort to introduce readers to fictional worlds marked by human-nonhuman fluidity and trans-species contiguity that was imagined and lived much before the telos of human extinction became either a global or local concern.

English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550

English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550
English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550 By Barbara J. Harris
2018 | 266 Pages | ISBN: 9462985987 | PDF | 3 MB
The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected. This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signifies their preferred identities.

Dynamical Systems with Applications using MATLAB®

Dynamical Systems with Applications using MATLAB®
Dynamical Systems with Applications using MATLAB® by Stephen Lynch
English | PDF(True) | 2004 | 458 Pages | ISBN : 0817643214 | 26.9 MB
Beginning with a tutorial guide to MATLAB®, the text thereafter is divided into two main areas. In Part I, both real and complex discrete dynamical systems are considered, with examples presented from population dynamics, nonlinear optics, and materials science. Part II includes examples from mechanical systems, chemical kinetics, electric circuits, economics, population dynamics, epidemiology, and neural networks. Common themes such as bifurcation, bistability, chaos, fractals, instability, multistability, periodicity, and quasiperiodicity run through several chapters. Chaos control and multifractal theories are also included along with an example of chaos synchronization. Some material deals with cutting-edge published research articles and provides a useful resource for open problems in nonlinear dynamical systems.

Disciplinary Intuitions and the Design of Learning Environments

Disciplinary Intuitions and the Design of Learning Environments
Kenneth Y. T. Lim, "Disciplinary Intuitions and the Design of Learning Environments"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 9812871810 | PDF | pages: 224 | 3.7 mb
This book introduces the concept of disciplinary intuitions, and foregrounds the tacit proto-understandings and sensings as distinct from prior knowledge.It explores the design of curricula and technology-augmented learning environments for more enduring understanding, and in doing so, initiates a provocative debate into contemporary understandings of curriculum design with regards the nature of intuitions as varying across traditional subject domains.
