Drawing on rich archival resources the author provides a detailed account of this turbulent period, revealing the difficulties faced by a leading merchant company as they sought to resolve their conflicting interests of commerce and settlement in a complex situation, and providing fresh and lively insights into the emergence of a region of North America that is today one of the principal commercial centres of Canada. ![]() Free Download Compact Cooking: Big Flavor from Small Kitchens by Jenna Hunter English | December 12, 2023 | ISBN: 1628605359 | 256 pages | MOBI | 164 Mb If you find your small kitchen, or no kitchen at all, is hindering you from cooking balanced and nutritious meals, popular TikTok creator and registered dietitian Jenna Hunter has the perfect solution with her new cookbook, Compact Cooking. ![]() Free Download CompTIA Security+ Practice Tests: Exam SY0-701 by David Seidl English | January 11, 2024 | ISBN: 1394211384 | 368 pages | MOBI | 2.62 Mb Prepare for the Security+ certification exam confidently and quickly ![]() Free Download CompTIA Cloud+ Guide to Cloud Computing by West, Jill; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0357883454 | 530 pages | True PDF | 17.6 MB ![]() Free Download Thomas J. Marrie, "Community-Acquired Pneumonia" English | 2001 | pages: 920 | ISBN: 1475782489, 0306464322 | PDF | 72,8 mb Pneumonia (along with influenza) is the sixth leading cause of death in adults. About 4 million adults develop pneumonia each year in the US, resulting in 64 million days of restricted activity, 39 million days of bed confinement, and 10 million days of lost work. Yet the admission rates to hospital, length of stay, investigations, antimicrobial therapy and prevention strategies vary greatly from one geographic area to the next, and the scientific basis for many of our management strategies for pneumonia is weak to nonexistent. There are over 100 microbial agents that can cause pneumonia and many of these, especially Streptococcus pneumoniae, Group A streptococcus, and Staphylococcus aureus, are in a state of flux in terms of changing antimicrobial resistance. This book is designed to provide new information about pneumonia and identify critical research questions that will come to the fore as we enter the 21st century. ![]() Free Download Community and Progress in Kant's Moral Philosophy By Kate A. Moran 2012 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0813219523 | PDF | 2 MB Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy has often been criticized for ignoring a crucial dimension of community in its account of the lives that agents ought to lead. Historical and contemporary critics alike often paint Kant's moral theory, with its emphasis on rationality, as overly formalistic and unrealistically isolating. Against these criticisms, Kate A. Moran argues that Kant's moral philosophy reserves a central role for community in several important respects.In the first part of her book, Moran asserts that Kant's most developed account of the goal toward which agents ought to strive is actually a kind of ethical community. Indeed, Kant claims that agents have a duty to pursue this goal. Moran argues that this duty entails a concern for the development of agents' moral characters and capacities for moral reasoning, as well as the institutions and relationships that aid in this development. Next, Moran examines three specific social institutions and relationships that, according to Kant, help develop moral character and moral reasoning. In three separate chapters, Moran examines the role that moral education, friendship, and participation in civil society play in developing agents' moral capacities. Far from being mere afterthoughts in Kant's moral system, Moran maintains that these institutions are crucial in bringing about the end of an ethical community.The text draws on a wide range of Immanuel Kant's writings, including his texts on moral and political philosophy and his lectures on ethics, pedagogy, and anthropology. Though the book is grounded in an analysis of Kant's writing, it also puts forward the novel claim that Kant's theory is centrally concerned with the relationships we have in our day-to-day lives. It will, therefore, be an invaluable tool in understanding both the complexities of Kant's moral philosophy, and how even a liberal, deontological theory like Kant's can give a satisfying account of the importance of community in our moral lives. ![]() Free Download Linda S.

Kaplan, 1942-1951 " English | ISBN: 0814347673 | 2020 | 456 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Mordecai M. Kaplan (1881-1983), founder of Reconstructionism and the rabbi who initiated the first Bat Mitzvah, also produced the longest Jewish diary on record. In twenty-seven volumes, written between 1913 and 1978, Kaplan shares not only his reaction to the great events of his time but also his very personal thoughts on religion and Jewish life. In Communings of the Spirit: The Journals of Mordecai M. Kaplan Volume III, 1942-1951, readers experience his horror at the persecution of the European Jews, as well as his joy in the founding of the State of Israel. Above all else, Kaplan was concerned with the survival and welfare of the Jewish people. And yet he also believed that the well-being of the Jewish people was tied to the safety and security of all people. In his own words, "Such is the mutuality of human life that none can be saved, unless all are saved." ![]() Free Download Communications, Signal Processing, and Systems: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and Systems by Qilian Liang English | EPUB | 2020 | 2719 Pages | ISBN : 9811394083 | 291.3 MB This book brings together papers from the 2019 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and Systems, which was held in Urumqi, China, on July 20-22, 2019.
