Juan Pablo Luna Farina, "Segmented Representation: Political Party Strategies in Unequal Democracies " English | ISBN: 0199642648 | 2014 | 400 pages | PDF | 10 MB Millions of enfranchised people live in abject poverty in democracies around the world. Yet in representative democracies, the success or failure of political parties rests on their ability to effectively engage voters. In today's highly unequal and individualized societies, the diversity of voters along socioeconomic, religious, and other lines presents an obstacle for parties vying for electoral success. How, then, can widespread, crushing poverty still exist in stable democracies, if every citizen has a vote? Two wildly different parties, Chile's right-wing UDI and Uruguay's left-wing Frente Amplio, have achieved stunning victories in this supposedly inhospitable political landscape. They have done so by simultaneously segmenting and strategically harmonizing their linkages to distinct cross-sections of voters in each society. While that electoral strategy makes for a winning hand for parties in fragmented modern societies, it perpetuates the gross inequalities that  Security, Data Analytics, and Energy-Aware Solutions in the IoT English | 2022 | ISBN: 1799873234 | 248 Pages | PDF EPUB | 33 MB Internet of things networks have shown promising outcomes in the provisioning of potentially critical services such as safety applications, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Security and Authorizations for SAP Business Technology Platform by Koch, Martin;Zeilinger, Siegfried; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1493223550 | 400 pages | True EPUB | 21.62 MB  Jonathan Balcombe, "Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0230107818, 0230613624 | EPUB | pages: 242 | 1.3 mb Do baboons have a sense of right and wrong? Do cats and dogs have their feelings hurt? Animal behavior expert Jonathan Balcombe makes the case that animals, once viewed only as mindless automatons, actually have rich sensory experiences and emotional complexity. Drawing on new research, observational studies, and personal anecdotes to reveal the full spectrum of animal experience, Balcombe paints a new picture of the inner lives of animals that diverges from the "fight or die" image often presented in the popular media. He challenges traditional views of animals and makes the case for why the human-animal relationship needs a complete overhaul.  Tony Matthews, "Sea Wolves: Savage Submarine Commanders of WW2" English | ISBN: 1399064614 | 2023 | 256 pages | EPUB | 7 MB From the heart-rending account of the sinking of the German liner Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945 - the worst maritime disaster in world history - through to a variety of other brutal actions carried out by numerous submarine commanders, including the sinking of the hospital ship Centaur in 1943, this book comes from the deep shadows of a tragic past to reveal the terrible truth of a secretive war that was responsible for the deaths of unimaginable numbers of innocent people.
 Science and Engineering of Chinese Liquor Baijiu: Microbiology, Chemistry and Process Technology English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811921946 | 614 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 147 MB This book provides a cutting-edge scientific overview of Chinese liquor, also known as Baijiu. Chinese liquor is one of the world's most ancient fermented alcoholic beverages. Fermented foods and beverages are consumed worldwide as an indispensable constituent in our daily life. However, most fermented foods rely on traditional techniques with limited known scientific knowledge. These indigenous processes are typically empirical without scientifically-based control and technological insights. The book analyses Chinese liquor processing on the three most important disciplines of fermented foods: process technology/engineering, flavor chemistry, and microbiology. It also addresses the perspectives and future research needs associated with spontaneous fermented foods. This book offers a deep understanding of the science of Chinese liquor production to students, researchers, and related practitioners both in the academic and the industry. It would also benefit many other fields of fermented foods for their optimization, standardization, and modernization.  Scared to Death: From BSE to Coronavirus: Why Scares are Costing Us the Earth By Christopher Booker; Richard North 2020 | 512 Pages | ISBN: 1472984668 | EPUB | 3 MB Newly revised and updated in the light of COVID-19For most of the latter part of the last century, and the early part of this, Britain has been assailed by a succession of 'scares', from salmonella and eggs to BSE, from the Millennium Bug to bird flu, from DDT to passive smoking, from asbestos to global warming.These scares have become one of the most conspicuous and damaging features of our modern world, so much so that as we entered the third decade of the new century, our senses had become so blunted that we scarcely recognised the real thing for what it was, until it arrived - COVID-19, for which we were almost completely unprepared.The authors analyse the crucial roles of the different factions who perpetrated the scares: from the scientists who misread or manipulated the evidence to the media and lobbyists who eagerly promoted scares without regard to the consequences, and the politicians and officials who came up with absurdly disproportionate responses, leaving us to pay a colossal price.In this updated edition, Scared to Death not only presents a detailed account of the scares that have dominated our society for the past 50 years - through all of which the authors lived - but also examines the background to the COVID-19 pandemic, tracing our lack of preparedness to its roots and then assessing, by way of contrast, why this is the real thing, as opposed to the succession of scares that we have experienced.
