 Free Download Andreas Fickers, "History of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU): Transnational techno-diplomacy from the telegraph to the Internet" English | 2020 | ISBN: 3110669609 | EPUB | pages: 360 | 2.9 mb This book focuses on the history of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), from its origins in the mid-19th century to nowadays. ITU was the first international organization ever and still plays a crucial role in managing global telecommunications today. Putting together some of the most relevant scholars in the field of transnational communications, the book covers the history of ITU from 1865 to digital times in a truly global perspective, taking into account several technologies like the telegraph, the telephone, cables, wireless, radio, television, satellites, mobile phone, the internet and others. The main goal is to identify the long-term strategies of regulation and the techno-diplomatic manoeuvres taken inside ITU, from convincing the majority of the nations to establish the official seat of the Telegraph Union bureau in Switzerland in the 1860s, to contrasting the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance (supported by US and ICANN).

Free Download Kurt Flasch, "Historische Philosophie: Beschreibung Einer Denkart" Deutsch | 2021 | ISBN: 3465045661 | PDF | pages: 374 | 9.0 mb In this book Kurt Flasch describes and substantiates his way of thinking and working. He calls it "historical philosophy" and shows how it undercuts the separation of philosophical systematics and philosophical history, thus posing the problem of "historicism" in a new way. Flasch critically examines basic concepts such as "epoch," "tradition," and "continuity" and argues against dehistoricizing modes of appropriation of the past that ignore the time gap or reduce it to a mere external circumstance. He thus gains new insights into the relationship between the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Reformation.

Its instruments include not only the naked senses but also tools such as the telescope and microscope, the questionnaire, the photographic plate, the notebook, the glassed-in beehive, and myriad other ingenious inventions designed to make the invisible visible, the evanescent permanent, the abstract concrete. Yet observation has almost never been considered as an object of historical inquiry in itself. This wide-ranging collection offers the first examination of the history of scientific observation in its own right, as both epistemic category and scientific practice.

Panton English | September 15, 2022 | ISBN: 153812419X | 782 pages | MOBI | 2.25 Mb The evolution of the United States from a late-18th century coalition of rebel British colonies to a 21st century global superpower was shaped by several forces. As the nation expanded its boundaries after the Treaty of Paris confirmed independence from Great Britain in 1783, it acquired a rich variety of resources - coal, fertile soils, forests, iron ore, oil, precious metals, space, and varied climates as well as extensive tracts of territory. Technological innovations, such as the cotton gin and steam power, enabled entrepreneurs to exploit those resources and create wealth. Federal and state legislators provided environments in which the economy could flourish, and military strategists kept the country safe from external attack. Diplomats negotiated commercial agreements with foreign governments and cultivated multinational alliances that strengthened freedoms.

Free Download Hans Bernsdorff, "Hirten in der nicht-bukolischen Dichtung des Hellenismus" Deutsch | 2001 | ISBN: 3515078223 | PDF | pages: 222 | 10.4 mb Die Arbeit durchmustert die Darstellung von Hirten in den dafuer eigentlich nicht zuständigen poetischen Gattungen des Hellenismus (vor allem Drama, Epos und Epigramm). Durch Vergleich mit den entsprechenden archaischen und klassischen Vorläufern wird gezeigt, ob und wie sich die hellenistischen Dichter (besonders Menander und Apollonios) dem Hirtenbild der Bukolik, vor allem natuerlich der Theokrits, annähern. Kernstueck der Arbeit ist das Kapitel ueber das pastorale Epigramm (Anyte, Mnasakles u. a.). Dabei erweist sich, daá manches von dem, was neuere Interpreten als Eigentuemlichkeit Theokrits betrachten, sich auch hier findet; damit kann die Auffassung der theokriteischen Bukolik als Parodie auf eine zeitgenössische idyllisierende Sicht der Hirtenwelt in Frage gestellt werden. |
