 Novels for Students: Presenting Analysis, Context and Criticism on Commonly Studied Novels (Novels for Students, 61) By 2019 | 338 Pages | ISBN: 1410365603 | EPUB | 1 MB Each volume of Novels for Students contains easily accessible and content-rich discussions of the literary and historical background of 12 to 15 works from various cultures and time periods. Each novel included in this new resource was specially chosen by an advisory panel of teachers and librarians -- experts who have helped us define the information needs of students and ensure the age-appropriateness of this references content. Each volume (beginning with volume 32) will include two Literature to Film entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays/novels not only diversify the study of plays/novels but support alternate learning styles, media literacy, and film studies curricula as well. Here are some of the novels they will find - The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian| by Sherman Alexie; |My Name is Asher Lev| by Chaim Potok; |The Shipping News| by Louise Erdrich; |Sister of My Heart| by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni; and |Unvanquished| by William Faulkner.You may also be interested in For Students Online - the complete For Students Collection in eBook format.Call your Sales Rep for details.|PIM|31-MAY-18|01  Kenneth F Conklin, "Norvel: An American Hero" English | ISBN: 1734480726 | 2021 | 368 pages | EPUB | 7 MB Discover an unsung American hero in this engaging historical novel.  David Owens, "Normativity and Control" English | ISBN: 0198713231 | 2017 | 224 pages | PDF | 1534 KB Do we control what we believe? Are we responsible for what we believe? These two questions are connected: the kind of responsibility we have for our beliefs depends on the form of control that we have over them. For a number of years David Owens has investigated what form of control we must have over something in order to be held to the norms governing that thing, and has argued that belief, intention and action each require a different type of control. The forms of freedom appropriate to each of them vary, and so do the presuppositions of responsibility associated with each of them. Issues in the moral psychology of belief cast light on some of the traditional problems of epistemology and in particular on the problems of scepticism and testimony.  Nonblocking Electronic and Photonic Switching Fabrics by Wojciech Kabaciński English | PDF | 2005 | 282 Pages | ISBN : 0387254315 | 14.3 MB Switching fabrics first appeared in telephone exchanges, where there was a need to interconnect many pairs of telephones installed in the network. Due to the large number of connected subscribers and int- exchange links, switching fabrics in telephone exchanges have to serve a great number of input and output ports. Because of the scale, large switching fabrics were constructed from smaller ones. The way of building switching fabrics from elements of smaller capacity and different characteristics of switching fabrics topologies has been for a long time a rich area of theoretical research. The seminal work is due to C. Clos [23], who first considered multistage strict-sense nonblocking switching networks, and V. E. Benes [9], who first introduced the mathemati cal theory of switching networks. From that time, many research was conducted in this field. Switching fabrics found its application not only in telecommunication, starting from telephone exchanges through ATM switches and IP routers to optical cross-connect systems and optical packet switches, but also in other areas of knowledge like computation and control.
 Katarzyna Górak-Sosnowska, "Non-Inclusive Education in Central and Eastern Europe: Comparative Studies of Teaching Ethnicity, Religion and Gender" English | ISBN: 1350325260 | 2022 | 248 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book presents research into inclusive education in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), written by scholars based in CEE. Inclusive education has become a framework for understanding and embracing diversity but most of the research in this area has been carried out in intercultural or culturally diverse settings within a relatively inclusive and open framework of democratic/liberal and multicultural Western societies. Unlike many Western societies, the realities of CEE countries are often much less diverse and connected with different fragile historical and political processes, which puts tackling sensitive topics in a different context. The editors and contributors address the dominant Western ways of looking at inclusive and global education in CEE. They argue that Western leveraged pedagogy has been imposed on CEE and outline the context-specific problems of teaching global education in CEE. Collectively, the chapters offer critical responses to the issues of exclusion and exclusionary practices of 'silenced' minorities in CEE. Written by academics based in Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary Poland, Romania and Russia, the book cover topics including Roma genocide in Poland, teaching about Islam and teaching about LGBTQ+ issues. The book includes a preface written by Jacqueline Bhabha, Professor of the Practice of Health and Human Rights at Harvard University, USA.  Noetherian Semigroup Algebras by Eric Jespers , Jan Okniński English | PDF | 2007 | 356 Pages | ISBN : 1402058098 | 3.4 MB The ?rst aim of this work is to present the main results and methods of the theory of Noetherian semigroup algebras. These general results are then applied and illustrated in the context of certain interesting and important concrete classes of algebras that arise in a variety of areas and have been recently intensively studied. One of the main motivations for this project has been the growing int- est in the class of semigroup algebras (and their deformations) and in the application of semigroup theoretical methods.  Nobel Lectures in Physics, Vol 7 (1991-1995) By Gosta Ekspong (editor) 1997 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 9810226772 | PDF | 5 MB This volume is a collection of the Nobel Lectures delivered by the prizewinners, together with their biographies, portraits and the presentation speeches for the period 1991 - 1995. Each Nobel Lecture is based on the work that won the prize. These volumes of inspiring lectures by outstanding physicists should be on the bookshelf of every keen student, teacher and professor of physics as well as of those in related fields.Below is a list of the prizewinners during the period 1991 - 1995 with a description of the works which won them their prizes.(1991) P-G de GENNES-for discovering that methods developed for studying order phenomena in simple systems can be generalized to more complex forms of matter, in particular to liquid crystals and polymers; (1992) G CHARPAK - for his invention and development of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber; (1993) R A HULSE & J-H TAYLOR JR. - for the discovery of a new type of pulsar, a discovery that has opened up new possibilities for the study of gravitation; (1994) B N BROCKHOUSE -- for the development of neutron spectroscopy; C G SHULL -- for the development of the neutron diffraction technique; (1995) M L PERL -- for the discovery of the tau lepton; F REINES -- for the detection of the neutrino.  Daniel Heller-Roazen, "No One's Ways: An Essay on Infinite Naming " English | ISBN: 1935408887 | 2017 | 336 pages | PDF | 23 MB Homer recounts how, trapped inside a monster's cave, with nothing but his wits, Ulysses once saved himself by twisting his name. He called himself Outis: "No One" or "Non-One," "No Man" or "Non-Man." The ploy was a success. He blinded his barbaric host and eluded him, becoming anonymous, for a while, even as he bore a name.
