 Free Download John Doran, "Pope Innocent II (1130-43): The World vs the City " English | ISBN: 0367879166 | 2019 | 404 pages | EPUB | 11 MB The pontificate of Innocent II (1130-1143) has long been recognized as a watershed in the history of the papacy, marking the transition from the age of reform to the so-called papal monarchy, when an earlier generation of idealistic reformers gave way to hard-headed pragmatists intent on securing worldly power for the Church. Whilst such a conception may be a cliché its effect has been to concentrate scholarship more on the schism of 1130 and its effects than on Innocent II himself. This volume puts Innocent at the centre, bringing together the authorities in the field to give an overarching view of his pontificate, which was very important in terms of the internationalization of the papacy, the internal development of the Roman Curia, the integrity of the papal state and the governance of the local church, as well as vital to the development of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Empire.  Free Download Paul Allemeersch, "Polymerisation of Ethylene: In Slurry Loop Reactors" English | ISBN: 3110292149 | 2015 | 206 pages | PDF | 4 MB This book presents all information necessary to understand the functioning of a slurry loop reactor for the polymerisation of ethylene into high density polyethylene, and to operate it accordingly. All discussions are based on experimental data from the operation of full scale commercial loop reactors.  Free Download Polymeric Biomaterials for Tissue Regeneration: From Surface/Interface Design to 3D Constructs by Changyou Gao English | EPUB (True) | 2024 | 578 Pages | ISBN : 9819969476 | 135.8 MB This book reviews state of the art of polymeric biomaterials for regenerative medicine and highlights advances in both fundamental science and clinical practice. It summarizes the latest techniques in polymeric scaffold fabrication, delivery carriers, physiochemical property modulation, as well as their influence on the adhesion and performance of biomolecules, cells, and tissues. It also describes methods for creating biofunctional surfaces/interfaces and subsequently modulating the host response to implantable materials. Lastly, it discusses the applications of biomaterials and constructs in soft-tissue regenerative medicine. It is a valuable resource for materials scientists and engineers wishing to identify research priorities to fulfill clinical needs and provides physicians with insights into emerging novel biomaterials. This integrated approach also offers engineering students a sense of the relevance of materials science in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.  Free Download Polycrystalline Silicon for Integrated Circuits and Displays by Ted Kamins English | PDF | 1998 | 391 Pages | ISBN : 0792382242 | 36.4 MB Polycrystalline Silicon for Integrated Circuits and Displays, Second Edition presents much of the available knowledge about polysilicon. It represents an effort to interrelate the deposition, properties, and applications of polysilicon. By properly understanding the properties of polycrystalline silicon and their relation to the deposition conditions, polysilicon can be designed to ensure optimum device and integrated-circuit performance.  Free Download Politische Theologie: Vier Kapitel zur Lehre von der Souveränität By Schmitt, Carl 2021 | 72 Pages | ISBN: 3428182596 | PDF | 1 MB Souverän ist, wer über den Ausnahmezustand entscheidet ist der erste Satz von Carl Schmitts Schrift Politische Theologie. Er wird national und international zitiert, oft ohne Nennung des Urhebers, so dass ein weiteres Diktum Schmitts zutrifft, dass er ›Gemeingut aller Gebildeten‹ geworden ist. Die kleine Schrift über Begriff und Problem der Souveränität, Dezisionismus, Politische Theologie als Soziologie juristischer Begriffe und die der Gegenrevolution wird seit Erscheinen im Jahr 1922 bis heute besprochen, gedeutet und kritisiert. Die 11. Auflage enthält Satzkorrekturen aus Schmitts Handexemplar und ein Personenverzeichnis.  Free Download Politische Theologie II: Die Legende von der Erledigung jeder Politischen Theologie By Schmitt, Carl 2017 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 3428152212 | PDF | 1 MB In seinem Alterswerk setzt sich Carl Schmitt mit der These seines langjährigen Bekannten und Kritikers Erik Peterson auseinander, der die Unmöglichkeit jeder politischen Theologie behauptet hatte. Er hält dem zum Katholizismus konvertierten Theologen entgegen, dass dessen Kritik das typische Produkt einer protestantischen Krisentheologie sei, die von der Fiktion sauberer Trennungen zwischen Politik und Religion ausgehe. Nach weiteren Widerlegungen geht Carl Schmitt in einem ausführlichen Nachwort auf Hans Blumbergs Verteidigung der Legitimität der Neuzeit ein und entwirft ein Bild von der Selbstzerstörung des modernen Menschen in einer gänzlich profanierten Welt mit neuen Feindschaften.  Free Download Politik als Beruf By Weber, Max 2010 | 66 Pages | ISBN: 3428134796 | PDF | 1 MB Wahrlich: Politik wird zwar mit dem Kopf, aber ganz gewiß nicht nur mit dem Kopf gemacht. [...] Die Politik bedeutet ein starkes langsames Bohren von harten Brettern mit Leidenschaft und Augenmaß zugleich. Es ist ja durchaus richtig, und alle geschichtliche Erfahrung bestätigt es, daß man das Mögliche nicht erreichte, wenn nicht immer wieder in der Welt nach dem Unmöglichen gegriffen worden wäre. (Aus dem Text)  Free Download Politics, Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective By Marcel Danesi 2023 | 126 Pages | ISBN: 1032393130 | EPUB | 1 MB Politics, Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective shows how language influences mechanisms of cognition, perception and belief, and by extension its power to manipulate thoughts and beliefs. This exciting and original work is the first to apply cognitive linguistics to the analysis of political lies and conspiracy theories, both of which have flourished in the internet age and which many argue are threatening democracy. It unravels the verbal mechanisms that make these "different truths" so effective and proliferative, dissecting the verbal structures (metaphor, irony, connotative implications etc) of the words of a variety of real-life cases in the form of politicians, conspiracy theorists and influencers. Marcel Danesi goes on to demonstrate how these linguistic structures "switch on" or "switch off" alternative mind worlds. This book is essential reading for students of cognitive linguistics and will enrich the studies of any student or researcher in language and linguistics more broadly, as well as discourse analysis, rhetoric or political science.  Free Download Politics of the Ordinary: Care, Ethics, and Forms of Life (Ethics of Care) By S Laugier 2020 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 9042942495 | PDF | 1 MB What is an ethics formulated in a "different voice"? This book develops the connection between ordinary language philosophy, represented by Wittgenstein and Austin, and the ethics of care. Care is at once a practical response to specific needs and a sensitivity to the ordinary details of human life that matter. The Ordinary has been variously denied, undervalued, or neglected - not taken into account - in theoretical thought. Such negligence, I propose, has to do with widespread contempt for ordinary life inasmuch as it is domestic and female. The disdain stems from the gendered hierarchy of objects deemed worthy of intellectual research. One important aspect of ordinary language philosophy is its capacity to call our attention to human expressiveness as embodied in women's voices. It thus provides the basis for a re-definition of philosophyas attention to ordinary life, and care for moral expression. This book proposes nothing less than a paradigm shift in ethics, with a reorientation towards vulnerability and a shift from the "just" to the "important."  Free Download Donald F. Kettl, "Politics of the Administrative Process" English | ISBN: 1071875558 | 2023 | 480 pages | PDF | 25 MB Efficient public administration requires a delicate balance between politics, accountability, and performance-bureaucracy must be powerful enough to be effective but also accountable to elected officials and citizens. Author Don Kettl understands that the push and pull of political forces in a democracy make the functions of bureaucracy both contentious and crucial. In The Politics of the Administrative Process, he gives students a realistic, relevant, and well-researched view of the field featuring engaging vignettes and rich examples from current events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ninth Edition has been thoroughly updated with an additional chapter, as well as new scholarship, data, and case studies, giving students multiple opportunities to apply ideas and analysis as they read. |
