 Judy Eaton, "Autism Missed and Misdiagnosed" English | ISBN: 1839974605 | 2023 | 208 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 586 KB + 881 KB Autism presents in a multitude of different and highly nuanced ways - particularly as it intersects with variance in class, gender, race and age.  Auschwitz-Birkenau: Nazi German Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945): Official Report on Auschwitz: Systematic Extermination, Forced Labour, Medical Experiments, and Camp Administration by Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GLHC21N4 | 98 Pages | PDF | 52 MB  Lourdes Monterrubio Ibáñez, "Audiovisual Thinking and the Essay Film: The Case of Francophone Europe" English | ISBN: 9463728589 | 2025 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB From a semio-pragmatic perspective and drawing on an interdisciplinary and intermedial approach, this book analyses how the audiovisual thinking process manifests itself in essay films. It explores how issues of subjectivity and identity, whether individual, social, political or cultural, prompt thought through the medium of cinema. The volume discusses the European Francophone essay film from its first appearance in cinematic modernity to the present. The study is developed in three stages. The first analyses the intermedial forms that are used: the letter, the (self-)portrait, the dialogue, the diptych, etc. The second examines the audiovisual materials that are mobilised. The third addresses the audiovisual procedures that are generated. In its analysis of works by Marker, Godard, Akerman, Varda and others, this book offers a new and detailed understanding of the production, evolution and achievements of the essay film in Francophone Europe.

Susannah Young-ah Gottlieb, "Auden and the Muse of History" English | ISBN: 1503633926 | 2022 | 312 pages | AZW3 | 999 KB Concentrating on W. H. Auden's work from the late 1930s, when he seeks to understand the poet's responsibility in the face of a triumphant fascism, to the late 1950s, when he discerns an irreconcilable "divorce" between poetry and history in light of industrialized murder, this startling new study reveals the intensity of the poet's struggles with the meanings of history. Through meticulous readings, significant archival findings, and critical reflection, Susannah Young-ah Gottlieb presents a new image and understanding of Auden's achievement and reveals how his version of modernism illuminates urgent contemporary issues and theoretical paradigms: from the meaning of marriage equality to the persistence of fascism; from critical theory to psychoanalysis; from precarity to postcolonial studies. "The muse does not like being forced to choose between Agit-prop and Mallarmé," Auden writes with characteristic lucidity, and this study elucidates the probity, humor, and technical skill with which his responses to historical reality in the mid-twentieth century illuminate our world today.  Simon LeVay, "Attraction, Love, Sex: The Inside Story" English | ISBN: 0231204507 | 2023 | 296 pages | MOBI | 795 KB Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love?

KINGSLEY WHITMAN English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GFPB3G2D | 536 Pages | PDF | 276 MB  Marek Węcowski, "Athenian Ostracism and its Original Purpose: A Prisoner's Dilemma" English | ISBN: 019884820X | 2023 | 316 pages | MOBI | 1447 KB Ostracism is by far the most emblematic institution of ancient Athenian democracy. This volume offers a reassessment of recently found ostraka (or potsherds, on which the names of the 'candidates' for exile were inscribed by citizens) from several Greek cities outside Athens, a thorough reconstruction of the history and of the procedure of ostracism in Athens, and a comprehensive account of the political circumstances of the introduction of the law on ostracism by Cleisthenes in 508/507 BCE. Marek Węcowski's original study focuses not only on the final stage, the day of the vote, but on the entire operation and procedure of ostracisation. Tracing the logic of the political play in Athens between the opening and final stages of ostracism, Węcowski argues that Athenian ostracism was a mechanism devised to impose compromise on the main players in Athenian political life, thereby avoiding the punishment of political elites by exile of leading politicians resulting from unpredictable votes by the citizenry. To support this hypothesis, Węcowski turns to the theory of the 'evolution of cooperation' as formulated by the American mathematician and political scientist Robert Axelrod based on the iterated prisoner's dilemma in game theory, applied as a probabilistic analogy to the dynamics of Athenian political life under democracy.
