 Free Download Joseph Boyden, Noah Richler, Sarah Leavitt, "Northwords" English | 2012 | pages: 55 | ASIN: B0973K2D2Z | EPUB | 3,0 mb Northwords is a cross-platform project that takes urban Canadian writers Joseph Boyden, Sarah Leavitt, Rabindranth Maharaj, Noah Richler, and Alissa York to some of the world's most extreme environments, to join the conversation about the north.  Free Download André Oliveira Costa, "Norbert Elias and Sigmund Freud " English | ISBN: 1032458437 | 2023 | 208 pages | EPUB | 619 KB This book explores the influence of Freudian psychoanalysis on Norbert Elias' theory of the civilizing process - an influence acknowledged by Elias himself - conducting a dialogue with a view to analyzing points of contact and distance between them. Examining the development of Elias' work, it sheds light on the integration of psychoanalytic concepts in his thought, considering the dynamics that exist between individuals and social processes, as the civilizing process affects the psychic economy of individuals and psychic structures serve to sustain civilization. A genealogical study of Freudian concepts as expressed in the trajectory of Elias's sociology, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and psychology with interests in social and psychoanalytic theory.  Free Download Danielle Deavours, "Nonverbal Neutrality of Broadcasters Covering Crisis " English | ISBN: 1032450916 | 2023 | 138 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1459 KB + 3 MB Offering a critical and sensitive reflection on journalists' nonverbal behaviors during their coverage of school shootings in the U.S., this book shows how individual- and social-level factors predict broadcasters' nonverbal neutrality.  Free Download Nonlinear Waves 1: Dynamics and Evolution by Andrei V. Gaponov-Grekhov (Academician), Mikhail I. Rabinovich, Jüri Engelbrecht English | PDF | 1989 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 3540505628 | 20.1 MB Since 1972 the Schools on Nonlinear Physics in Gorky have been a meeting place for Soviet scientists working in this field. Instead of producing for the first time English proceedings it has been decided to present a good cross section of nonlinear physics in the USSR. Thus the participants at the last School were invited to provide English reviews and research papers for these two volumes (which in the years to come will be followed by the proceedings of forthcoming schools). The first volume starts with a historical overview of nonlinear dynamics from Poincaré to the present day and touches topics like attractors, nonlinear oscillators and waves, turbulence, pattern formation, and dynamics of structures in nonequilibrium dissipative media. It then deals with structures, bistabilities, instabilities, chaos, dynamics of defects in 1d systems, self-organizations, solitons, spatio-temporal structures and wave collapse in optical systems, lasers, plasmas, reaction-diffusion systems and solids.  Free Download Nonequilibrium Vibrational Kinetics by Mario Capitelli English | PDF | 1986 | 354 Pages | ISBN : 3642486177 | 29.6 MB This book is devoted to the systematic treatment of nonequi 1 ibrium vibrational kinetics in molecular systems. Particular emphasis is given to the vibrational excitation of diatomic molecules by low-energy electrons in a discharge and by IR photons in laser-pumped systems. The book follows the different steps of the introduction, redistribution, loss, and chemical conversion of the vibrational quanta, from the points of view of the overall kinetics and the dynamics of elementary processes. These two aspects are balanced in a multidisciplinary approach. The different chapters give the basic instruments (theoretical and experimental) which are needed to understand the ki netics of nonequilibrium systems. The book will introduce the reader to different areas such as plasmachemistry, laser chemistry, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and relaxation phenomena, emphasizing how the vibrational energy affects such research fields. The chapters dedicated to collisional dynamics involving vibrational excited molecules provide an introduc tion to the modern techniques uti 1 ized in the scattering theory of inelastic and reactive collisions. The extension of the vibrational kinetics to polyatomic mole cules, discussed in Chap. 10, is the natural bridge between coll ision and coll i sionless regimes. In conclusion, we hope that the approach followed in this book will stimulate the collaboration of researchers coming from different research fields, which are too often completely separate.  Free Download Tindara Addabbo, Giovanni Solinas, "Non-Standard Employment and Quality of Work: The Case of Italy" English | 2012 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 3790828351, 3790821055 | PDF | 4,4 mb The international literature on non-standard employment has mostly focussed on its impact on employment, and more recently on working and living conditions. This volume explores these issues with special reference to Italy. Italy is characterized by very low participationrates (particularly women's), a high degree of fragmentation of labour contracts and a very intense non-standard work diffusion that make this context a particularly interesting case for analysis. New elements of discussion are provided with reference to the interaction ofnon-standard work, employment probability and living conditions. Interesting insights on the impact of non-standard work on the transition to stable employment and workers' careers emerge, suggesting a possible failure of companies' internal systems of work evaluation. The effects on labour productivity and on companies' performance are analysed. Within this framework, a new perspective on quality of work is suggested.
 Free Download Kathryn Quinn-Sánchez, "Non-Normative Sexualities in US Latinx and Latin American Literature Through a Capitalist Lens" English | ISBN: 1666933740 | 2023 | 248 pages | EPUB | 521 KB Non-Normative Sexualities in US Latinx and Latin American Literature Through a Capitalist Lens studies how Latin American and Latinx authors represent non-normative sexualities through a capitalist lens. In our society, heterosexuality manifests as privilege and has been normalized to such an extent that any sexuality that is perceived as different from the dominant cis-gendered, heteropatriarchal norm is considered deviant. Non-normative sexualities continue to be viewed by society as detrimental to the health of the nation. Consequently, how one is perceived by the dominant culture continues to limit one's ability to thrive. Each chapter serves to analyze how one's perceived gender identity or sexuality can block access to economic opportunity. Queer, trans, spatial and intersectional theories form the base of the literary analyses. One of the contributors' goals is to present capitalism as it is intersectionally present in life, identity, and society. The authors studied in this collection come from the USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Southern Cone of Latin America.
