Jagdish Mehra, "The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman" English | 1996 | ISBN: 0198518870, 0198539487 | DJVU | pages: 710 | 6.8 mb Few would argue that Richard Feynman was one of the greatest American-born theoretical physicists of the twentieth century, and fewer still would dispute that he was the most iconoclastic. In the words of the eminent mathematician Mark Kac, geniuses are of two kinds: the ordinary, and the  The Basics of Metaverse: A Comprehensive Introduction to Metaverse Technology and How to Invest in Related Cryptocurrencies, NFTS, Top Metaverse Tokens, Games, and Digital Real Estate by James C. Willams English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BQRM2BBD | 65 pages | EPUB | 0.11 Mb The term "Metaverse" has suddenly appeared everywhere, from the front pages of national newspapers to the newest fashion trends to the strategies of the world's most powerful corporations. It is already influencing the policies of the United States government, the European Union, and the Chinese Communist Party.  John Weston Parry, "The Athlete's Dilemma: Sacrificing Health for Wealth and Fame" English | ISBN: 1442275405 | 2017 | 364 pages | EPUB | 1336 KB Sports provide people around the world with unmatched entertainment, from the excitement of victory to the agony of defeat. Unfortunately, it also has become painfully clear that the agony of sports goes well beyond athletes losing games or competitions. Playing through concussions, the abuse of pain medicine, the use of performance-enhancing substances, and other health-related issues have become a constant reminder that being a professional athlete can be as dangerous as it is lucrative.  Karen Kurczynski, "The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn: The Avant-Garde Won't Give Up" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1409431975, 1138575062 | PDF | pages: 276 | 12.7 mb A leading figure of the postwar avant-garde, Danish artist Asger Jorn has long been recognized for his founding contributions to the Cobra and Situationist International movements - yet art historical scholarship on Jorn has been sparse, particularly in English. This study corrects that imbalance, offering a synthetic account of the essential phases of this prolific artist's career. It addresses his works in various media alongside his extensive writings and his collaborations with various artists' groups from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Situating Jorn's work in an international, post-Second World War context, Karen Kurczynski reframes our understanding of the 1950s, away from the Abstract-Expressionist focus on individual expression, toward a more open-ended conception of art as a public engagement with contemporary culture and politics. Kurczynski engages with issues of interest to twenty-first-century artists and scholars, highlighting Jorn's proposition that the sensory address of art and its complex relationship to popular media can have a direct social impact. Perhaps most significantly, this study foregrounds Jorn's assertion that creativity is crucial to subjectivity itself in our increasingly mediated 'Society of the Spectacle.'  Niko Besnier, Susan Brownell, Thomas F. Carter, "The Anthropology of Sport: Bodies, Borders, Biopolitics" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0520289013 | PDF | pages: 336 | 3.5 mb Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums or China's parks, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or Fiji's rugby fields, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances. Sport is a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of Sport explores how sport both shapes and is shaped by the social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism, the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender and sexuality.  Geoffrey Holmes, D. Szechi, "The Age of Oligarchy" English | 1993 | pages: 456 | ISBN: 0582209552, 1138163236 | PDF | 35,6 mb The second volume, on early and mid-Georgian Britain, shows how the country used its expanding wealth, its new-found social cohesion at home and its international influence abroad to become not only a European but an imperial power. As with the first volume, every aspect of the period is covered.

 Teaching Cybersecurity: A Handbook for Teaching the Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge in a Conventional Classroom by Daniel Shoemaker English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032034092 | 229 pages | True PDF | 12.89 MB  Thomas O'Donoghue, "Teacher Preparation in Ireland: History, Policy and Future Directions " English | ISBN: 1787145123 | 2017 | 264 pages | EPUB | 973 KB Fifty years ago, in 1967, free education was introduced in Ireland for attendance at second-level schools and great expansion of provision of education at both this and third-level followed. Currently, great interest is developing in this landmark development in Irish history, which was probably the most significant initiative taken in regard to education in Ireland from Independence from Britain in 1922 to the present. This book contributes to the interest generated by this landmark anniversary by tracing the history of teacher preparation in Ireland. It relates to the introduction to the 'free education' education scheme introduced in 1967, in that it provides an exposition on the nature of teacher preparation for teaching in primary and second-level schools both before and after the initiative was taken. Thus, it traces the history of teacher preparation through a number of stages; from education for nation-building in the new post-colonial society to partaking in the recent neo-liberal agenda sweeping through education systems throughout the world. This book should be of interest not only to Irish educationists, historians and policy makers, but also to their counterparts internationally, as well as to comparative educationists. It can be seen as providing an exposition which can be used by teacher educators in many parts of the world which they can use to sharpen their perceptions of their own situations through comparison and contrast, provoke ideas for critical discussion, and stimulate them to come to an understanding of the importance of considering contemporary developments within their wider historical contexts. |
