 Exploring Science Communication: A Science and Technology Studies Approach English | 2020 | ISBN: 152646439X | 264 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB Exploring Science Communication demonstrates how science and technology studies approaches can be explicitly integrated into effective, powerful science communication research. Through a range of case studies, from climate change and public parks to Facebook, museums, and media coverage, it helps you to understand and analyse the complex and diverse ways science and society relate in today's knowledge intensive environments. Notable features include:  Evidence-Based Policing: The Basics English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367703254 | 273 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB What is evidence-based policing and how is it done? This book provides an answer to both questions, offering an introduction for undergraduate students and a hands-on guide for police officers wanting to know how to put principles into practice. It serves as a gentle introduction to the terminology, ideas, and scientific methods associated with evidence-based policy, and outlines some of the existing policing applications.

Essential Mathematics for Applied Fields by Richard M. Meyer English | PDF | 1979 | 564 Pages | ISBN : 0387904506 | 26.9 MB 1. Purpose The purpose of this work is to provide, in one volume, a wide spectrum of essential (non-measure theoretic) Mathematics for use by workers in the variety of applied fields. To obtain the background developed here in one volume would require studying a prohibitive number of separate Mathematics courses (assuming they were available). Before, much of the material now covered was (a) unavailable, (b) too widely scattered, or © too advanced as presented, to be of use to those who need it. Here, we present a sound basis requiring only Calculus through however, Differential Equations. It provides the needed flexibility to cope, in a rigorous manner, with the every-day, non-standard and new situations that present themselves.  Elements of the Theory of Generalized Inverses of Matrices by Randall E. Cline English | PDF | 1979 | 90 Pages | ISBN : 0817630139 | 4.1 MB The purpose of this monograph is to provide a concise introduction to the theory of generalized inverses of matrices that is accessible to undergraduate mathematics majors. Although results from this active area of research have appeared in a number of excellent graduate level text books since 1971, material for use at the undergraduate level remains fragmented.  Rebecca Ford, "Edinburgh and East Scotland" English | 2009 | pages: 147 | ISBN: 0749562897 | PDF | 227,1 mb Explore the best of Edinburgh and Eastern Scotland with 50 themed walks of 2-10 miles, each with fascinating background reading, clear easy-to-follow route descriptions for every walk and information on what to look out for and recommended places to eat and drink; What to see in the area while you're there; Guidance for dog owners on where to walk.

Anthropologist Mark Pedelty, joined an eco-oriented band, the Hypoxic Punks, to find out. In his timely and exciting book, Ecomusicology, Pedelty explores the political ecology of rock, from local bands to global superstars. He examines the climate change controversies of U2's 360 Degrees stadium tour-deemed excessive by some-and the struggles of local folk singers who perform songs about the environment. In the process, he raises serious questions about the environmental effects and meanings on music.  Andrea A.

Paul Mariani, "Dream Song: The Life of John Berryman" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1595347666 | EPUB | pages: 580 | 19.3 mb Dream Song is the story of John Berryman, one of the most gifted poets of a generation that included Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Jarrell, Robert Lowell, and Dylan Thomas. Using Berryman's unpublished letters and poetry, as well as interviews with those who knew him intimately, Paul Mariani captures Berryman's genius and the tragedy that dogged him, while at the same time illuminating one of the most provocative periods in American letters. Here we witness Berryman's struggles with alcohol and drugs, his obsession with women and fame, and his friendships with luminary writers of the century. Mariani creates an unforgettable portrait of a poet who, by the time of his suicide at age fifty-seven, had won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award.  Gonzalo Lamana, "Domination without Dominance: Inca-Spanish Encounters in Early Colonial Peru" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0822343118, 0822342936 | PDF | pages: 304 | 1.6 mb Offering an alternative narrative of the conquest of the Incas, Gonzalo Lamana both examines and shifts away from the colonial imprint that still permeates most accounts of the conquest. Lamana focuses on a key moment of transition: the years that bridged the first contact between Spanish conquistadores and Andean peoples in 1531 and the moment, around 1550, when a functioning colonial regime emerged. Using published accounts and array of archival sources, he focuses on questions of subalternization, meaning making, copying, and exotization, which proved crucial to both the Spaniards and the Incas. On the one hand, he re-inserts different epistemologies into the conquest narrative, making central to the Description often-dismissed, discrepant stories such as books that were expected to talk and year-long attacks that could only be launched under a full moon. On the other hand, he questions the dominant image of a clear distinction between Inca and Spaniard, showing instead that on the battlefield as much as in everyday arenas such as conversion, market exchanges, politics, and land tenure, the parties blurred into each other in repeated instances of mimicry. |
