 The Civil War Abroad by Charles Priestley; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1476687099 | 228 pages | True PDF EPUB | 32.59 MB The impact of the Civil War was felt far beyond American shores. Many sites associated with the war remain in Britain and France-the two countries most affected-and traces of it can still be found in such unlikely places as Sweden and Turkey. Both Union and Confederate agents sought support overseas, aided by local sympathizers. Some Victorian Britons, despite their disdain for slavery, saw the South as an incipient nation struggling for recognition, like the Italians or the Poles, but linked to Britain by ties of blood, language and history. The sinking of the CSS Alabama by the USS Kearsarge off Cherbourg brought the war to the European coastline. Ten years after Appomattox, veterans from both North and South found themselves on the same side in the Egyptian army. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book examines the international side of the Civil War.  The Challenge of Leading an Ethical and Successful Organization by John Zinkin, Chris Bennett English | 2023 | ISBN: 311078081X | 174 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.89 MB Being both ethical and successful is challenging. The rewards of unethical behavior are often greater than the price paid for misbehavior. This book explains why leaders, seeking to run ethical and successful organizations, cannot depend only on the law and their organizations to make moral business decisions.  The Being of Negation in Post-Kantian Philosophy by Gregory S. Moss English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031138619 | 499 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.1 MB By drawing on the insights of diverse scholars from around the globe, this volume systematically investigates the meaning and reality of the concept of negation in Post-Kantian Philosophy-German Idealism, Early German Romanticism, and Neo-Kantianism. The reader benefits from the historical, critical, and systematic investigations contained which trace not only the significance of negation in these traditions, but also the role it has played in shaping the philosophical landscape of Post-Kantian philosophy. By drawing attention to historically neglected thinkers and traditions, and positioning the dialogue within a global and comparative context, this volume demonstrates the enduring relevance of Post-Kantian philosophy for philosophers thinking in today's global context. This text should appeal to graduate students and professors of German Idealism, Post-Kantian philosophy, comparative philosophy, German studies, and intellectual history.  The Architecture Drawing Book by Charles Hind English | 2022 | ISBN: 1859469493 | 241 pages | True PDF | 325.34 MB A club house in a castle in the West End of London, complete with battlements and turrets, from 1882. A design for the post-war reconstruction of the City of London in 1945. A fantasy landscape featuring Le Corbusier's Capriccio of Notre-Dame du Haut in ruins. A section of a 19th-century townhouse, showing a slice of the staircase wallpaper winding from deep navy on the ground floor to pale sky blue at the top. This is a treasury of architectural drawing from the 16th century to the present day. Exploring both how and why architects draw, it offers a rich visual history from Palladio, Inigo Jones and Augustus Pugin to contemporaries such as Richard Rogers, Foster Associates and Zaha Hadid, via Sir Christopher Wren, George Gilbert Scott and Erno Goldfinger, and everything else in between. From back-of-envelope concept sketches to painstaking pen and ink perspectives, exploded axonometrics and born-digital drawings, this book celebrates the full gamut of architectural representation. With over 200 lush, full-colour reproductions, this is a window into soul of architectural drawing over the past five hundred years.  Testing and Modeling of Cellular Materials by Derek G. Spear English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032290226 | 207 pages | True PDF | 39.7 MB Testing and Modeling of Cellular Materials discusses the characterization of cellular lattices through quasi-static and dynamic testing for use in light-weighting or energy-absorbing applications. Covering cellular materials, specifically additively manufactured lattices, this book further progresses into dynamic testing and modeling techniques for computational simulations. It presents modeling and simulation techniques used for cellular materials and evaluates them against experimental results to illustrate the material response under various conditions. The book also includes a case study of high-velocity impact that highlights the high strain rate effects on the cellular lattices.
 Technologies in Decline; Socio-Technical Approaches to Discontinuation and Destabilisation; First Edition by Zahar Koretsky English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032101024 | 295 pages | True PDF | 8.34 MB The central questions of this book are how technologies decline, how societies deal with technologies in decline, and how governance may be explicitly oriented towards parting with 'undesirable' technology.  Technological Advancement in Algal Biofuels Production by Neha Srivastava, P. K. Mishra English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811968055 | 301 pages | True PDF EPUB | 37.19 MB This edited book presents all feasible approaches to improve technology of algal biofuels production at both qualitative and quantitative front. The book's focus in on enhancing mass scale production of algae based biofuels by addressing technological issues and filling the existing gaps to make it smooth for practical as well as commercial implementation. The book also explores in depth analysis of various issues other than technology and related to improve technological significance for practical biofuels production from algae. Low cost strategies and higher mass production is one of the most sounding agenda of the book. The book also evaluates enlighten various sustainable algal biofuels options which are close towards commercial application along with their green future prospect. Societal and environment friendly approach even for commercial application has also been discussed in book. This is a useful readingmaterial for researchersand students of biofuels and reneable energy.
 Systemic Approaches to Brain Injury Treatment; Navigating Contemporary Practice by Ndidi Boakye English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032314508 | 231 pages | True PDF | 5.53 MB This book is an exploration of key systemic and socio-political considerations when working with people whose lives have been impacted by neurological injury and those who care for them.
 Sustainable Innovation by Michele Visciola English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031187504 | 240 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.47 MB This book puts forward a new paradigm to understand and implement Sustainable Innovation (SI). Innovation without sustainability leaves out large swathes of the population or generates maladaptive or misappropriate behaviors. Innovative solutions will be sustainable if they can retain individual and group differences while offering greater benefits for the common good. When working together, designers, life, human and social behavioral scientists can add value, which promotes behavioral changes to the advantage of sustainable models in all fields. This volume presents a guide on how to set up sustainable innovation programs, as well as ideas on how to integrate multidisciplinary teams into innovation projects. Moreover, this book offers students a synthesis of non-academic thinking on the relationship between design and behavioral science.
 Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 58 by Asif Iqbal, Mazhar Iqbal, Madeeha Alamzeb, Song Meizhen, Zhang Xiling, Muhammad Arif, Xiongming Du, Eric Lichtfouse English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031161548 | 250 pages | True PDF EPUB | 20.01 MB This book presents recently-developed crop, soil, and management practices that can be used to improve phosphorous use efficiency in agriculture. Food security highly depends on the availability of plant nutrients such as phosphorus, yetrockphosphate reserves are expected to be exhausted in the next 50-100 years. Moreover, about 80% of the phosphorous fertilizers applied to soils become unavailable to plants due to phosphorous fixation in iron and aluminum oxides in acidic soils and with carbonates in alkaline soils. As a consequence, only 10-15% of applied phosphorous is up taken by crops. Therefore, there is a need for advanced practices for improving phosphorus use efficiency. |
