 Urban Carnival: Festive Culture in the Hanseatic Cities of the Eastern Baltic, 1350-1550 By Anu Mänd 2005 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 2503515215 | PDF | 3 MB This is a significant new study of the festival culture of northern Europe in the later Middle Ages: more specifically of the German-speaking communities of the great cities of the eastern Baltic littoral in what was then called Livonia, corresponding roughly to the territories of present-day Estonia and Latvia. While subject to a degree of Scandinavian influence, the festival culture of Livonian cities such as Riga, Reval (Tallinn), and Dorpat (Tartu), which were members of the Hanseatic League, substantially overlapped with that of other German-speaking areas, not least the Hanseatic cities of northern Germany.The major part of the book is devoted to the main annual festivals of the merchants' guilds: Christmas, Carnival, the popinjay shoot, and the May Count celebrations. There follows an analysis of specific aspects of the festivals: spatial contexts, finances, food and drink, entertainments (dances, jousts, games), customs and rituals. There is also a concluding glance at changes in festival culture after the Reformation. The study combines close scrutiny of local customs (made possible by the almost miraculous survival of uniquely detailed documentation), contextualization within the wider comparative context of festival culture in late-medieval Europe, and an alterness to significant recent scholarship in both English and German.  Peter Harries-Jones, "Upside-Down Gods: Gregory Bateson's World of Difference" English | 2016 | pages: 293 | ISBN: 0823270351, 0823270343 | PDF | 5,3 mb This intellectual biography covers the trajectory of Bateson's career, from his anthropological work in Bali alongside his wife, Margaret Mead, to his contributions to family therapy in the United States, and to studies of recursion as a feature of communication patterns in both the human and in the animal world. Layers of feedback with their many differing contexts, highlight the presence of meaning in social relations in contrast to that absence of meaning, purposefully proposed, within information theory. Throughout the human and in the animal world, recursion of feedback accounts for grasp of patterns, their difference, and with ability to communicate, enable transduction of perceptions of difference.

Over the past 205 years, the fortunes of the capital market have been closely linked to the "bumpy road" of Polish history. The establishment of the GPW Warsaw Stock Exchange in 1991 was a landmark for transformation from a centrally planned communist economy to a market-driven capitalist one. Since the doors of the exchange reopened, Polish GDP per capita (current USD) increased eight times, translating into an average yearly growth rate of over 7%.  Understanding Relativity: A Conceptual Journey Into Spacetime, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031172183 | 714 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 84 MB This book bridges the huge gap between popular science and mathematical treatments of Einstein's theories. It explains special and general relativity, gravity, black holes, and gravitational waves, also presenting current ideas about dark matter and dark energy. The explanations are entirely non-mathematical, using many color pictures and clear concepts. In this way, the reader is led to a much deeper understanding than any popular science book can provide.  Understanding jаvascript Promises English | 2022 | ISBN: 1678034150 | 116 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 1.25 MB Since promises were added to jаvascript in 2015, they have become an integral part of the language. A good understanding of how promises work is more important than ever in becoming a proficient jаvascript developer. This book begins by explaining the basic concepts behind promises, including what they are, how to use them, and how to create your own. You'll then build upon these basic concepts to learn how to chain promises together and how to respond to multiple promises at once. Once you've learned these advanced concepts, you'll move on to learn how promises work with async functions and how to track unhandled promise rejections. All of the concepts discussed are grounded in real world examples so you learn not just how to use a particular technique, but also why and when to use it. It doesn't matter if you're writing jаvascript for web browsers, Node.js, or Deno, this book will teach you everything you need to know about promises.  Unbecoming Blackness: The Diaspora Cultures of Afro-Cuban America By Antonio Lopez 2012 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0814765467 | EPUB | 3 MB 2014 Runner-Up, MLA Prize in United States Latina and Latino and Chicana and Chicano Literary and Cultural StudiesIn Unbecoming Blackness, Antonio López uncovers an important, otherwise unrecognized century-long archive of literature and performance that reveals Cuban America as a space of overlapping Cuban and African diasporic experiences. López shows how Afro-Cuban writers and performers in the U.S. align Cuban black and mulatto identities, often subsumed in the mixed-race and postracial Cuban national imaginaries, with the material and symbolic blackness of African Americans and other Afro-Latinas/os. In the works of Alberto O'Farrill, Eusebia Cosme, Rómulo Lachatañeré, and others, Afro-Cubanness articulates the African diasporic experience in ways that deprive negro and mulato configurations of an exclusive link with Cuban nationalism. Instead, what is invoked is an "unbecoming" relationship between Afro-Cubans in the U.S and their domestic black counterparts. The transformations in Cuban racial identity across the hemisphere, represented powerfully in the literary and performance cultures of Afro-Cubans in the U.S., provide the fullest account of a transnational Cuba, one in which the Cuban American emerges as Afro-Cuban-American, and the Latino as Afro-Latino. |
