Field, "The Invention of Infinity: Mathematics and Art in the Renaissance" English | ISBN: 0198523947 | | 262 pages | PDF | 22 MB As any student of art will tell you, one of the chief accomplishments of the Renaissance was the development of perspective in painting-the introduction of spatial perception that led to the legendary beauty and majesty of works by Giotto, Botticelli, and da Vinci. In The Invention of Infinity, Dr. J. V. Field, a noted historian on math and the arts, tells the remarkable story of how the "practical" mathematics of Renaissance artists actually influenced the development of "proper" mathematics-a true story of life imitating art. ![]() Free Download The Invention of Good and Evil: A World History of Morality by Hanno Sauer English | 2024 | ISBN: 0197790259 | 415 Pages | True PDF | 1.53 MB ![]() Free Download The Intoku Code: Delta Force's Intelligence Officer―Doing Good in Secret by Wade Ishimoto English | 2024 | ISBN: 1636244696 | 362 Pages | True ePUB | 24.6 MB ![]() Free Download The Internationalisation of Young High-Tech Firms: An Empirical Analysis in Germany and the United Kingdom By Dr. Oliver Bürgel, Dr. Andreas Fier, Dr. Georg Licht, Prof. Gordon Murray (auth.) 2004 | 292 Pages | ISBN: 3790801208 | PDF | 11 MB The huge economic and social impact of high-tech industries on the fortunes of nation states has been widely recognised in recent years. Therefore, government policies encouraging the creation of new technology-based firms have become a priority in virtually all advanced economies. One factor underpinning the performance and growth of high-tech start-ups is presumably international activity of such firms. This study addresses the issues concerning the critical decision to internationalise. The research sought to provide empirically supported analyses on (a) the incidence of international activity, (b) the degree of internationalisation, (c) the timing of entry into international markets, (d) the mode of market entry employed, (e) the impact of internationalisation on performance and (f) the differences between internationalising and non-internationalising firms. The findings confirm the extent and importance of internationalisation to young high-tech firms in the UK and Germany. Thus, if governments or venture capitalists are interested in the promotion of successful new technology-based firms they must, per force, be also interested in encouraging the processes of internationalisation. ![]() Free Download The Insect Epiphany: How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture by Barrett Klein English | October 15, 2024 | ISBN: 1643261363 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 199 MB From entomologist Barrett Klein comes a buzz-worthy exploration of the many ways insects have affected human society, history, and culture ![]() Free Download The Information Society in an Enlarged Europe By Soumitra Dutta, Arnoud De Meyer, Amit Jain, Gérard Richter (auth.), Professor Soumitra Dutta, Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Amit Jain, Gérard Richter (eds.) 2006 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 3540262210 | PDF | 2 MB Europe enlarged its boundaries in 2004 with the accession of ten new member states to the European Union. The creation of an effective information society is seen as critical to the global competitiveness of Europe. Based upon detailed data collection and rigorous analysis, the book presents a benchmarking study of the 10 new member states and 3 candidate countries of the European Union as compared to the 15 incumbent countries with respect to the development of their information societies. Using a framework based on the Europe 2005 benchmarking framework, the 28 EU members and candidate countries are ranked according to their level of information society development, and then classified into 4 categories. The results presented in this book are of importance to all managers and companies doing business in the IT sector in the European Union. ![]() Free Download The Information Bomb (Radical Thinkers) by Paul Virilio English | January 17, 2006 | ISBN: 1844670597 | True EPUB | 160 pages | 0.5 MB "Civilization or the militarization of science?" ![]() Free Download Vera Luboshinsky, "The Indian Diary of Vera Luboshinsky " English | ISBN: 0192889699 | 2024 | 438 pages | PDF | 30 MB The Indian Diary of Vera Luboshinsky narrates life at the Indian princely court of Bhopal, during the 1940s. Vera was the daughter of Professor M. J. Herzenstein, a member of the State Duma in pre-revolutionary Russia, and married to Count Mark Luboshinsky. After the Bolshevik revolution, they emigrated to Czechoslovakia where they met Hamidullah Khan, Nawab of Bhopal, an important political figure during the last decades of the British Empire and India's fight for independence. Impressed by Mark Luboshinsky's managerial abilities, the Nawab invited him to come to India to manage his estates. The couple spent seven years in India (winter 1938 - winter 1945). They stayed in and around Bhopal taking part in palace business or travelling across India accompanying the Nawab's family on long journeys. The Diary is a unique and completely unknown text to the Anglophone world: a rich primary source for historians of India's princely states, providing an interesting and uncommon depiction of the Nawab, his family, acquaintances, associates, and more generally, the life of Indians and foreigners in India during World War II. With literary flair, Vera describes not only her life in India, but also her intimate relationship with the Begum and British residents of Bhopal as well as meetings with well-known people like Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarojini Naidu, Fatima Jinnah, or Anandamayi Ma, and Paul Brunton. Importantly, the Diary also offers an extremely rare Eastern European female voice in late colonial India: a voice that both submits to and transgresses the Orientalist moods of its time. ![]() Free Download The Incomplete European Market for Financial Services By Rainer Beckmann, Carsten Eppendorfer (auth.), Prof. Dr. Paolo Cecchini, Dr. Friedrich Heinemann, Dr. Mathias Jopp (eds.) 2003 | 255 Pages | ISBN: 3790800139 | PDF | 10 MB The incomplete European market for financial services, the obstacles to its integration and the potential benefits from more integration are subject of this book which is largely focussing on retail markets. The analysis can be regarded as a modernised follow-up to the financial market part of the famous 1988 Cecchini Report "The cost of non Europe". Even in the Euro age, retail financial markets in the EU are heavily fragmented and the consumers pay a large price for this fragmentation. This also weakens the growth perspective of EU and its international role. Explanations originate both from natural and policy-induced factors. Priorities for future policies are the dismantling of tax discriminations and further harmonisation in consumer protection and financial supervision. ![]() Free Download Golnar Nikpour, "The Incarcerated Modern: Prisons and Public Life in Iran " English | ISBN: 1503637638 | 2024 | 352 pages | PDF | 41 M B |
