 J. F. James, "An Introduction to Practical Laboratory Optics" English | ISBN: 1107050545 | 2014 | 196 pages | PDF | 3 MB Aimed at students taking laboratory courses in experimental optics, this book introduces readers to optical instruments and their uses. The book explains the basic operation of lenses, mirrors, telescopes in the laboratory and under field conditions, how to use optical instruments to their maximum potential and how to keep them in working order. It gives an account of the laws of geometrical optics which govern the design, layout and working of optical instruments. The book describes the interactions of polarised light with matter and the instruments and devices derived from this, and discusses the choice of spectrometers and detectors for various spectral regions, with particular attention to CCD cameras. The emphasis throughout is on description, with mathematical precision confined to the appendices, which explain the ray transfer matrix and outline the Seidel theory of optical aberrations. The appendices also introduce Fourier methods in optics and Fourier transform infra-red spectrometry.  Suzy Kim, "Among Women across Worlds: North Korea in the Global Cold War" English | ISBN: 1501767305 | 2023 | 348 pages | PDF | 39 MB In Among Women across Worlds, Suzy Kim excavates the transnational linkages between women of North Korea and a worldwide women's movement. Women of Asia, especially those espousing communism, are often portrayed as victims or pawns of a patriarchal Confucian state. Kim undercuts this standard analysis through detailed archival work in the international women's press, and finds that North Korean women asserted themselves in unexpected places from the late 1940s―just before the official beginning of the Korean War―to 1975, the year designated by the UN as International Women's Year.  Zachary Callen, "American Political Development and the Trump Presidency " English | ISBN: 081225208X | 2020 | 288 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Leading political scientists analyze the presidency of Donald Trump and its impact on the future of American politics  All You Want Is Money, All You Need Is Love: Sex and Romance in Modern India (Gender & Women's Studies/Literature & the Arts) By Rachel Dwyer 2000 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0304703214 | PDF | 56 MB An examination of India's bourgeois, its lifestyle and aspirations as manifested in fiction and film. It begins by looking at heroines and notions of idealized womanhood in a historical perspective, and examines how these are reworked in modern narratives, how conflicts are resolved and new models developed. A major theme is the redefinition of love and romance among the Indian middle classes, as part of the creation of a bourgeois individual revolving around love, romance and marriage. The book concentrates on the most radical of India's metropolitan bourgeoisies, that of the city of Mumbai (Bombay).  Amitabha Bagchi, "Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics: 9th International Conference, CALDAM 2023, Gandhinagar, India, February 9-1" English | ISBN: 3031252101 | 2023 | 479 pages | PDF | 9 MB This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics, CALDAM 2023, which was held in Gandhinagar, India, during February 9-11, 2023.  Alginate Biomaterial: Drug Delivery Strategies and Biomedical Engineering English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811969361 | 726 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 31 MB This book focuses on recent trends of research on alginate-based biomaterials in Drug Delivery strategies and biomedical engineering. It contains the widely used alginate-based biomaterials as micro to nano-controlled drug delivery (oral, ocular delivery, topical delivery, etc.) and its fabrication technology, characterization, and biomedical aspects (such as cancer therapy, tissue engineering, gene delivery, vaccine delivery, enzyme immobilization, wound healing, dental applications, etc.) in a single book. The chapters cover updated information, current research trends, informatics, and all aspects of applications.  Irina Carlota Silber, "After Stories: Transnational Intimacies of Postwar El Salvador" English | ISBN: 150360909X | 2022 | 280 pages | PDF | 8 MB This book builds upon Irina Carlota [Lotti] Silber's nearly 25 years of ethnographic research centered in Chalatenango, El Salvador, to follow the trajectories-geographic, temporal, storied-of several extended Salvadoran families. Traveling back and forth in time and across borders, Silber narrates the everyday unfolding of diasporic lives rich with acts of labor, love, and renewed calls for memory, truth, and accountability in El Salvador's long postwar. Through a retrospective and intimate ethnographic method that examines archives of memories and troubles the categories that have come to stand for "El Salvador" such as alarming violent numbers, Silber considers the lives of young Salvadorans who were brought up in an everyday radical politics and then migrated to the United States after more than a decade of peace and democracy. She reflects on this generation of migrants-the 1.5 insurgent generation born to forgotten former rank-and-file militants-as well as their intergenerational, transnational families to unpack the assumptions and typical ways of knowing in postwar ethnography. As the 1.5 generation sustains their radical political project across borders, circulates the products of their migrant labor through remittances, and engages in collective social care for the debilitated bodies of their loved ones, they transform and depart from expectations of the wounded postwar that offer us hope for the making of more just global futures.  Karthik Sekar, "After Meat: The Case for an Amazing, Meat-Free World" English | ISBN: 0578977370 | 2021 | 422 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Animals make for terrible technology. The technological use of animals-making food, drugs, clothing, and cosmetics out of animal material-will cease. A cow takes over one year to grow, "wastes" over ninety percent of what it's fed, and cannot be innovated much further. After Meat explains the fundamental limits of animal technology in terms of physics and biology. Replacement technology such as microbial fermentation will surpass those limits. Eventually, we'll have food that is better in every way-in terms of taste, cost, nutrition, resource consumption, and ethics-because we won't use animals to produce it.
