 Metamaterials And Nanophotonics: Principles, Techniques And Applications by Kosmas L Tsakmakidis; English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811261865 | 330 pages | True PDF | 50.05 MB  Metal-organic Framework Membranes For Molecular Gas Separations by Moises A Carreon;Surendar R Venna; English | 2021 | ISBN: 1786346729 | 283 pages | True PDF EPUB | 68.53 MB  Metacyclic Groups And The D(2) Problem by Francis E A Johnson; English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811222754 | 372 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.53 MB  Mentoring Teenage Heroes: The Hero's Journey of Adolescence By Matthew Winkler 2017 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0997543736 | EPUB | 1 MB Matthew P. Winkler's viral TED-Ed lesson "What Makes a Hero?" introduced the Hero's Journey to millions of viewers. His debut book guides parents, teachers, coaches, and other adults toward a fresh understanding of adolescence as a heroic quest - a rite of passage as old as the ancient myths that metaphorically describe it. Those myths echo through contemporary books and movies and the real-world experience of growing up. For most adults, daily life is a routine grind. For teenagers, it's an epic struggle for identity  Men Over 60: Don't Quit Now! by Dorsen, M.D., Peter J.; English | 2022 | ISBN: 139846466X | 362 pages | True EPUB | 15.24 MB  Judith Pollmann, "Memory in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800" English | ISBN: 0198797559 | 2017 | 256 pages | PDF | 151 MB For early modern Europeans, the past was a measure of most things, good and bad. For that reason it was also hotly contested, manipulated, and far too important to be left to historians alone.  Memorial Museums: The Global Rush to Commemorate Atrocities By Paul Williams 2007 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1845204883 | PDF | 50 MB The past 25 years has seen an extraordinary boom in a new kind of cultural complex: the memorial museum. These seek to research, represent, commemorate and teach on the subject of dreadful, violent histories. With World War and Holocaust memorials as precursors, the kinds of events now recognized include genocide in Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda and the Balkans, state repression in Eastern Europe, apartheid in South Africa, terrorism in the United States, political "disappearances" in Chile and Argentina, massacres in China and Taiwan, and more.This book is the first of its kind to "map" these new institutions and cultural spaces, which, although varying widely in size, style and political situation, are nonetheless united in their desire to promote peace, tolerance and the avoidance of future violence. Moving across nations and contexts, Memorial Museums critically analyzes the tactics of these institutions and gauges their wider public significance.  Ben Singer, "Melodrama and Modernity" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0231113293, 0231113285 | PDF | pages: 380 | 9.5 mb In this groundbreaking investigation into the nature and meanings of melodrama in American culture between 1880 and 1920, Ben Singer offers a challenging new reevaluation of early American cinema and the era that spawned it. Singer looks back to the sensational or "blood and thunder" melodramas (e.g., The Perils of Pauline, The Hazards of Helen, etc.) and uncovers a fundamentally modern cultural expression, one reflecting spectacular transformations in the sensory environment of the metropolis, in the experience of capitalism, in the popular imagination of gender, and in the exploitation of the thrill in popular amusement. Written with verve and panache, and illustrated with 100 striking photos and drawings, Singer's study provides an invaluable historical and conceptual map both of melodrama as a genre on stage and screen and of modernity as a pivotal idea in social theory.  Medievalism in the Modern World: Essays in Honour of Leslie Workman By Richard Utz, Tom Shippey (eds.) 1998 | 472 Pages | ISBN: 2503501664 | PDF | 23 MB The twenty-six essays in this volume examine the process of creating the Middle Ages. In doing so, they honour Leslie Workman, who has led the revival of the study of medievalism in the past two generations, and leads this sub-discipline towards the comprehensiveness that Lord Acton as early as 1859 had promised: 'Two great principles divide the world, and contend for the mastery: antiquity and the Middle Ages. These are the two civilizations that have preceded us, the two elements of which ours is composed. All political as well as religious questions reduce themselves practically to this. This is the great dualism that runs through our society.' While using different approaches and discussing topics in a variety of specialised fields, the contributions clearly centre on negotiating the reception of medieval culture in the Early Modern, Modern and Contemporary periods, thus presenting a broad and representative picture of current research in medievalism.
 Medieval Thought Experiments: Poetry, Hypothesis, and Experience in the European Middle Ages By Philip Knox, Jonathan Morton, Daniel Reeve (eds.) 2018 | 350 Pages | ISBN: 2503576214 | PDF | 10 MB Throughout the Middle Ages, fictional frameworks could be used as imaginative spaces in which to test or play with ideas without asserting their truth. The aim of this volume is to consider how intellectual problems were approached - if not necessarily resolved - through the kinds of hypothetical enquiry found in poetry and in other texts that employ fictional or imaginative strategies. Scholars working across the spectrum of medieval languages and academic disciplines consider why a writer might choose a fictional or hypothetical frame to discuss theoretical questions, how a work's truth content is affected and shaped by its fictive nature, or what kinds of affective or intellectual work its reading demands. By reading literary, philosophical, and spiritual texts from England, France, and Italy alongside each other, this collection offers a new interdisciplinary approach to the history of medieval thought. |
