 Paper Belt on Fire: How Renegade Investors Sparked a Revolt Against the University by Michael Gibson English | November 29th, 2022 | ISBN: 164177245X | 400 pages | True EPUB | 1.98 MB Written by a successful venture capitalist (and university dropout), this book is part memoir, part guide for the next generation of innovators who seek an alternative to the traditional path in higher education.  Palgrave Handbook of Critical Posthumanism English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031049578 | 1233 Pages | PDF (True) | 17 MB Palgrave Handbook of Critical Posthumanism is a major reference work on the paradigm emerging from the challenges to humanism, humanity, and the human posed by the erosion of the traditional demarcations between the human and nonhuman. This handbook surveys and speculates on the ways in which the posthumanist paradigm emerged, transformed, and might further develop across the humanities. With its focus on the posthuman as a figure, on posthumanism as a social discourse, and on posthumanisation as an on-going historical and ontological process, the volume highlights the relationship between the humanities and sciences. The essays engage with posthumanism in connection with subfields like the environmental humanities, health humanities, animal studies, and disability studies. The book also traces the historical representations and understanding of posthumanism across time. Additionally, the contributions address genre and forms such as autobiography, games, art, film, museums, and topics such as climate change, speciesism, anthropocentrism, and biopolitics to name a few. This handbook considers posthumanism's impact across disciplines and areas of study.  Painting and Presence: Why Paintings Matter by Anthony Rudd English | November 18, 2022 | ISBN: 0192856286 | True EPUB/PDF | 256 pages | 0.9/1.5 MB This book is concerned with why (or whether) paintings have value: why they might be worth creating and attending to. The author starts from the challenge expressed in Plato's critique of the arts generally, according to which they do not lead us to what is true and good, and may take us away from them. Rudd tries to show that this Platonic Challenge can be answered in its own terms: that painting is good because it does lead us to truth. What paintings can give us is a non-discursive "knowledge by acquaintance" in which the essence of the painting's subject-matter is made present to the viewer.  Painter's Life by Lyons, Mari;Lyons, Nick;Perl, Jed; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1510774343 | 183 pages | True EPUB | 34.85 MB  Our God Is Awesome: Encountering the Greatness of Our God By Tony Evans 2008 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 080244850X | EPUB | 1 MB God's sovereignty inspires our worship.

 Organizational Management and the COVID-19 Crisis; Security and Risk Management Dilemmas by Wioletta Sylwia Wereda English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032255846 | 153 pages | True PDF | 8.5 MB  Optimization Algorithms for Distributed Machine Learning English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031190661 | 213 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 18 MB This book discusses state-of-the-art stochastic optimization algorithms for distributed machine learning and analyzes their convergence speed. The book first introduces stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its distributed version, synchronous SGD, where the task of computing gradients is divided across several worker nodes. The author discusses several algorithms that improve the scalability and communication efficiency of synchronous SGD, such as asynchronous SGD, local-update SGD, quantized and sparsified SGD, and decentralized SGD. For each of these algorithms, the book analyzes its error versus iterations convergence, and the runtime spent per iteration. The author shows that each of these strategies to reduce communication or synchronization delays encounters a fundamental trade-off between error and runtime.  Open Mapping Towards Sustainable Development Goals: Voices of Youthmappers on Community Engaged Scholarship English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031051815 | 382Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 165 MB  Ken W Davies, "One Step to Happiness" English | ISBN: 1637675348 | 2021 | 106 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Fame and fortune may be satisfying to some people, but the blessing of joy that God gives to a humble soul falls in an entirely different class. Jesus radiated joy while serving the people of his day, and showed no pride in his powerful gifts of healing and preaching.
