 Sayaka Chatani, "Nation-Empire: Ideology and Rural Youth Mobilization in Japan and Its Colonies" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1501730754 | PDF | pages: 364 | 3.2 mb By the end of World War II, hundreds of thousands of young men in the Japanese colonies, in particular Taiwan and Korea, had expressed their loyalty to the empire by volunteering to join the army. Why and how did so many colonial youth become passionate supporters of Japanese imperial nationalism? And what happened to these youth after the war? Nation-Empire investigates these questions by examining the long-term mobilization of youth in the rural peripheries of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Personal stories and village histories vividly show youth's ambitions, emotions, and identities generated in the shifting conditions in each locality. At the same time, Sayaka Chatani unveils an intense ideological mobilization built from diverse contexts―the global rise of youth and agrarian ideals, Japan's strong drive for assimilation and nationalization, and the complex emotions of younger generations in various remote villages.
 Magnus Petersson, "NATO and the Crisis in the International Order: The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies" English | 2018 | pages: 98 | ISBN: 081536038X | PDF | 0,9 mb The main objectives of this book are to analyse the risks and dangers NATO faces in the current strategic environment and to discuss how the alliance can readjust to those challenges.  Murderous Minds by Dean A Haycock English | July 15, 2021 | ISBN: 1643139568 | 282 pages | PDF | 3.15 Mb How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself, "How could someone do something like that?"Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal-oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all, but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom.But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims and readers-for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad. Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences.  Multiplicative Number Theory by Harold Davenport English | PDF | 1980 | 188 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 10 MB Although it was in print for a short time only, the original edition of Multiplicative Number Theory had a major impact on research and on young mathematicians. By giving a connected account of the large sieve and Bombieri's theorem, Professor Davenport made accessible an important body of new discoveries. With this stimula tion, such great progress was made that our current understanding of these topics extends well beyond what was known in 1966. As the main results can now be proved much more easily.  Moral Economies of Money: Politics and the Monetary Constitution of Society by Jakob Feinig English | October 4, 2022 | ISBN: 1503629171, 1503633446 | 208 pages | PDF | 4 MB For much of American history, large numbers of people claimed that money was a public good and asserted the right to shape money creation practices. If popular knowledge about money creation was once widely shared, how and why did it disappear? In this astute new work, Jakob Feinig shows how the relation between money users and money-issuing governments changed from British colonial North America to today's United States, discussing how popular movements reshaped money-creating institutions, and how their opponents attempted to silence them. He also reveals how monetary and political history unfolds in the tension between "moral economies of money" and "monetary silencing." Offering an introduction to money creation practices since the colonial era, the book enables readers to understand why most people are disconnected from knowledge about money creation today. At the same time, the book also allows readers to situate the recent prominence of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) against a broader historical background. Historians of capitalism, economic and political sociologists, social theorists, anthropologists of money, and anyone seeking to understand monetary activism, will find this book helps to clarify present-day possibilities in light of historical processes.  Modular Units by Daniel S. Kubert , Serge Lang English | PDF | 1981 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 0387905170 | 17.8 MB In the present book, we have put together the basic theory of the units and cuspidal divisor class group in the modular function fields, developed over the past few years. Let i) be the upper half plane, and N a positive integer. Let r(N) be the subgroup of SL (Z) consisting of those matrices == 1 mod N. Then r(N)\i) 2 is complex analytic isomorphic to an affine curve YeN), whose compactifi cation is called the modular curve X(N). The affine ring of regular functions on yeN) over C is the integral closure of C[j] in the function field of X(N) over C.  Samuel Wahlen, "Microfinance: An Economic Analysis of Banking to the Poor" English | ISBN: 1480847097 | 2017 | 142 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Great strides are being made in technology, medicine, and other fields, but with these advances, many people are still being left behind in poverty.
 Steven Frank, "Memory Improvement: Brain Training and Accelerated Learning to Discover Your Unlimited Memory Potential: Declutter Your " English | ISBN: 1951266153 | 2020 | 144 pages | EPUB | 257 KB How to achieve a razor-sharp memory that runs at lightning speed, even if you're a total scatterbrain who forgets absolutely everything.  Media and Power in Southeast Asia (Elements in Politics and Society in Southeast Asia) by Cherian George and Gayathry Venkiteswaran English | 2019 | ISBN: 1108467881 | 75 pages | PDF | 1 MB This study of Southeast Asian media and politics explores issues of global relevance pertaining to journalism's relationship with political power. It argues that the development of free, independent, and plural media has been complicated by trends towards commercialisation, digital platforms, and identity-based politics. These forces interact with state power in complex ways, opening up political space and pluralising discourse, but without necessarily producing structural change. The Element has sections on the democratic transitions of Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia; authoritarian resilience in Singapore; media ownership patterns in non-communist Southeast Asia; intolerance in Indonesia and Myanmar; and digital disruptions in Vietnam and Malaysia.  M.D. Srinivas, "Measurements and Quantum Probabilities" English | 2001 | ISBN: 8173713707 | DJVU | pages: 283 | 2.1 mb This book explores the fascinating interplay between the quantum theory of measurements and the observable predictions of quantum theory, namely, the joint probabilities associated with successive measurements. The studies compiled here explore what important consequences the collapse postulate ? which describes the change in the state of a system consequent to a measurement ? has on the observable predictions of quantum theory. In the process, they unravel the novel mathematical structure of quantum theoretical probabilities and also lead to significant extensions of the conventional formulation of quantum theory, which are necessary to discuss important and commonly encountered physical situations. |
