UAE 2023 TRAVEL GUIDE: The essential informative guide about the arabian peninsula, it's people, culture, lifestyle, and unique tourist attraction by Ewan Gold English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BPMY1ZWG | 52 pages | PDF | 0.53 Mb The United Arab Emirates is a very rewarding place to visit, full of people who strive to blend the ancient and the modern. The nation, which is located on the southeast coast of the Arabian Gulf, was formerly a desolate desert region, a federation of tribal sheikhdoms on the edge of the Arab world, and it relied on fishing and pearl diving for survival. Up until its independence in 1971, it was a British protectorate. Seven of the sheikhdoms then came together to form the UAE, a federation. The 1950s oil discovery drastically changed the country's fortunes, and the UAE is now a place of contrasts that embraces skyscrapers, high-tech communications, and luxury hotels while maintaining strong conservative values and religion. The UAE is a prominent participant in the shifting alignments of the Middle East and the struggle against radical Islam, simultaneously pursuing a worldwide leadership position while retaining its social structures and gently integrating women into public life without breaking its core principles.  Tsar Nicholas II and the End of the Romanov Dynasty: The History of the Downfall of Imperial Russia by Charles River Editors English | November 16, 2016 | ISBN: 1540448738 | 93 pages | EPUB | 2.50 Mb *Includes pictures *Includes the tsar's quotes about his life and reign *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I am not yet ready to be Tsar. I know nothing of the business of ruling." - Tsar Nicholas II of Russia The 17th century was marked by multiple pro-democratic revolutions exploding in both hemispheres. In Europe and its neighbors to the east, border-changing wars were fought incessantly. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the underlying premises of political, governmental and social structures within several European and Asian states were shaken to the core after centuries of royalty and one-family rule. By the onset of World War I, royal families began to experience a long, slow decline, with some quietly fading into the status of national symbols and others experiencing political overthrow. Some were horrified by the suddenness of a changing public, while others barely noticed. In the ensuing chaos brought about by the Great War, the last ruling family in Russia suffered the most brutal form of regime change at the hands of the Bolsheviks following a revolution in 1917, as the public outcry for individual equality mirrored the violence of the French Revolution from a prior century. The Romanov dynasty, which had enjoyed unbroken control over the throne since the early 1600s, represented a dilemma for a dissatisfied and restless workforce that nevertheless viewed the royal family through the lens of an ancient mystique. The modern Romanov saga was rife with intrigue, including the exploits of and mystique surrounding Grigory Rasputin, suspicion directed toward the German roots of Tsarina Alexandra, and fascination with the almost beatified children of the Tsar, their image buoyed by the powerful new medium of photography. When this mystical and fictitious portrait of the beloved ruler and happy peasant collided with Lenin's Bolshevik uprising, a movement largely devoid of mercy or sentiment, the pathos of the Romanov executions was felt all the more deeply around the world, and it has remained a topic of intense inquiry well into the following century. At the same time, gossip surrounding their fates, particularly that of the "lost" Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, have ensured that the Romanovs remain relevant nearly a century after their downfall. Tsar Nicholas II and the End of the Romanov Dynasty: The History of the Downfall of Imperial Russia looks at the seminal events that brought about an end to Imperial Russia. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the Romanovs like never before.  Trainspotting By Murray Smith 2021 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 1839022167 | PDF | 18 MB In 1996 Trainspotting was the biggest thing in British culture. Brilliantly and aggressively marketed, it crossed into the mainstream despite being a black comedy set against the backdrop of heroin addiction in Edinburgh. Produced by Andrew Macdonald, scripted by John Hodge and directed by Danny Boyle, the team behind Shallow Grave (1994), Trainspotting was an adaptation of Irvine Welsh's barbed novel of the same title. The film is crucial for understanding British culture in the context of devolution and the rise of 'Cool Britannia'. Murray Smith unpicks the processes that led to Trainspotting's enormous success. He isolates various factors - the film's eclectic soundtrack, its depiction of Scottish identity, its attitude to deprivation, drugs and violence, its traffic with American cultural forms, its synthesis of realist and fantastic elements, and its complicated relationship to 'heritage' - that make Trainspotting such a vivid document of its time. Although it heralded a false dawn for British film-making,Trainspotting is, Smith concludes, both authentically vernacular and yet transnational in its influences and ambitions.In his afterword to this new edition, Murray Smith reflects on the original film 25 years after its release, and its 2017 sequel T2: Trainspotting also directed by Boyle. Smith also considers Danny Boyle's subsequent directorial career, with highlights including Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.  Timeless Youth by Crippen, Dr. Jeff; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1944194851| 171 pages | True EPUB | 5.37 MB  Time Series Algorithms Recipes: Implement Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques with Python English | 2023 | ISBN: 1484289773 | 220 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 13.3 MB This book teaches the practical implementation of various concepts for time series analysis and modeling with Python through problem-solution-style recipes, starting with data reading and preprocessing.  Donna E. Alvermann, "Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy Ed 7" English | ISBN: 1138087270 | 2018 | 624 pages | PDF | 12 MB The Seventh Edition of this foundational text represents the most comprehensive source available for connecting multiple and diverse theories to literacy research, broadly defined, and features both cutting-edge and classic contributions from top scholars. Two decades into the 21st century, the Seventh Edition finds itself at a crossroads and differs from its predecessors in three major ways: the more encompassing term literacy replaces reading in the title to reflect sweeping changes in how readers and writers communicate in a digital era; the focus is on conceptual essays rather than a mix of essays and research reports in earlier volumes; and most notably, contemporary literacy models and processes enhance and extend earlier theories of reading and writing. Providing a tapestry of models and theories that have informed literacy research and instruction over the years, this volume's strong historical grounding serves as a springboard from which new perspectives are presented. The chapters in this volume have been selected to inspire the interrogation of literacy theory and to foster its further evolution. This edition is a landmark volume in which dynamic, dialogic, and generative relations of power speak directly to the present generation of literacy theorists and researchers without losing the historical contexts that preceded them. Some additional archival essays from previous editions are available on the book's eResource.  The Witches of St Osyth English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108494676 | 354 Pages | PDF | 7 MB An emotive, haunting story of a community torn apart, the Essex witch accusations and trial of 1581-2 are, taken together, one of the pivotal instances of that malign and destructive wave of misogynistic persecution which periodically broke over early modern England. Yet, for all their importance in the overall study of witchcraft, the so-called witches of St Osyth have largely been overlooked by scholars. Marion Gibson now sets right that neglect. Using fresh archival sources - and investigating not just the village itself, but also its neighbouring Elizabethan hamlets and habitations - the author offers revelatory new insights into the sixteen women and one man accused of sorcery while asking wider, provocative questions about the way history is recollected and interpreted. Combining landscape detective work, a reconstruction of lost spaces and authoritative readings of crucial documents, Gibson skilfully unlocks the poignant personal histories of those denied the chance to speak for themselves.  Chesa Boudin, Gabriel Gonzalez, Wilmer Rumbos, "The Venezuelan Revolution: 100 Questions-100 Answers" English | 2006 | ISBN: 1560257733 | PDF | pages: 193 | 17.3 mb There is one country in the Americas that the Bush Administration regards as a significant threat to U.S. interests, and it is not Cuba. Oil-rich Venezuela's democratically-elected government has survived repeated, U.S.-supported attempts to undermine its power, including a short lived military coup. Its leader, President Hugo Chávez, is neither communist nor capitalist, and instead claims to be creating an alternative 21st Century socialism that courts international capital. What is the real story behind this leader of Latin America's lurch to the left? Is it a new petro-populism in the tradition of Peron and Fujimori, or is it truly a progressive, home-grown democratic revolution that will address the massive economic and social inequalities plaguing the region for more than three centuries? The curiosity of a North American living in Venezuela and the expertise of two Venezuelans-one an adviser in the Presidential Palace, and the other a journalist with a weekly column in one of Venezuela's leading newspapers-bring insiders' answers to outsiders' questions, such as: Is Chávez a dictator? What was the role of the Bush Administration in the 2002 military coup? What is Chávez's political platform? Does Chávez work with terrorist governments to undermine U.S. interests?  The Transformation of Psychology: Influences of 19th Century Philosophy, Technology, and Nature Science By Christopher D. Green (editor), Marlene Shore (editor), Thomas Teo (editor) 2001 | 245 Pages | ISBN: 1557987769 | PDF | 28 MB Reveals some of the intellectual, social, technological, and institutional currents and practices that were commonplace during the 19th century and fostered a radical reappraisal of the scientific possibilities for psychology. |
