 Aeron Davis, "Reckless opportunists: Elites at the end of the Establishment " English | ISBN: 152612727X | 2018 | 160 pages | MOBI | 411 KB Aeron Davis takes a close look at the state of elites today. He argues that the Brexit vote and 2017 election outcome are signs of a deeper leadership crisis that has been developing over decades. The great transformations of the 1980s onwards have not only upended societies, they have reshaped elite rule itself.  Recent Trends in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 1447) by Sumit Kumar, Garima Aggarwal, Bhuvan Unhelkar English | November 21, 2025 | ISBN: 9819692024 | 588 pages | PDF | 28 Mb This book presents original, peer-reviewed research papers from the International Conference on Recent Trends in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences-CONFLUENCE 2025. It highlights the latest advancements across diverse areas of data science and computational techniques. The volume focuses on artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, soft computing, and other emerging methodologies. By sharing recent findings in these domains, the book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, industry professionals, and students alike.  Monica MacDonald, "Recasting History: How CBC Television Has Shaped Canada's Past" English | ISBN: 0773556311 | 2019 | 288 pages | MOBI | 4 MB Since 1952, CBC television has played a unique role as the primary mass media purveyor of Canadian history. Yet until now, there have been no comprehensive accounts of Canadian history on television. Monica MacDonald takes us behind the scenes of the major documentaries and docudramas broadcast on the CBC, including in Explorations (1956-64) and the series Images of Canada (1972-76), The National Dream (1974), The Valour and the Horror (1992), and Canada: A People's History (2000-02). Drawing on a wide range of sources, MacDonald explores how producers struggled to represent the Canadian past under a range of external and internal pressures. Despite dramatic shifts in the writing of history over this period, she determines that television themes and interpretations largely remained the same. The greater change was in the production and presentation, particularly in the role of professional historians, as journalists emerged not only as the new producers of Canadian history on CBC television, but also as the new content authorities. A critique of public history through the lens of political economy, Recasting History reveals the conflicts, compromises, and controversies that have shaped the CBC version of the Canadian past.  Real-World SwiftUI Projects by Benjamin Himmel English | 2026 | ISBN-13: 9798244923490 | ASIN: B0GHSV4WYG | 188 pages | pdf | 75 MB What separates a SwiftUI demo from an iOS app users actually keep?  Christopher Kormanyos, "Real-Time C++: Efficient Object-Oriented and Template Microcontroller Programming" English | ISBN: 3662585936 | 2019 | 459 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB With this book, Christopher Kormanyos delivers a highly practical guide to programming real-time embedded microcontroller systems in C++. It is divided into three parts plus several appendices. Part I provides a foundation for real-time C++ by covering language technologies, including object-oriented methods, template programming and optimization. Next, part II presents detailed descriptions of a variety of C++ components that are widely used in microcontroller programming. It details some of C++'s most powerful language elements, such as class types, templates and the STL, to develop components for microcontroller register access, low-level drivers, custom memory management, embedded containers, multitasking, etc. Finally, part III describes mathematical methods and generic utilities that can be employed to solve recurring problems in real-time C++. The appendices include a brief C++ language tutorial, information on the real-time C++ development environment and instructions for building GNU GCC cross-compilers and a microcontroller circuit.  Charles Chapman Pugh, "Real Mathematical Analysis " English | ISBN: 3319177702 | 2015 | 489 pages | AZW3 | 5 MB Based on an honors course taught by the author at UC Berkeley, this introduction to undergraduate real analysis gives a different emphasis by stressing the importance of pictures and hard problems. Topics include: a natural construction of the real numbers, four-dimensional visualization, basic point-set topology, function spaces, multivariable calculus via differential forms (leading to a simple proof of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem), and a pictorial treatment of Lebesgue theory. Over 150 detailed illustrations elucidate abstract concepts and salient points in proofs. The exposition is informal and relaxed, with many helpful asides, examples, some jokes, and occasional comments from mathematicians, such as Littlewood, Dieudonné, and Osserman. This book thus succeeds in being more comprehensive, more comprehensible, and more enjoyable, than standard introductions to analysis.  Real Hardware, Real Drivers: A Practical Guide to Adapting Windows Driver Examples (Aerospace Interface Standards Series) by Philippe Faucon English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GJ13N1QV | 138 pages | pdf | 77 MB  Robert P. Goldman, "Reading with the Rsi:: A Cross-Cultural and Comparative Literary Approach to Vālmīki's Rāmāyana" English | ISBN: 9354422829 | 2023 | 72 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The work examines the nature and contents of the Sanskrit epic poem, generally called the Valmiki Ramayana, in the form(s) it has come down to us in modernity. It discusses the issues the poem presents to the translator and reader in light of the ancient epic's popularity and profound influence on religious, ethical, social and political thought since its composition, on the culture of India and other nations of Southeast Asia. The essay examines the poem in terms of western and Indian aesthetic norms and tastes as a work of world literature and as an outstanding example of Indian poetry.  Philip Davis, "Reading for Life" English | ISBN: 0198815980 | 2020 | 308 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Reading for Life is an anthology of poems and of extracts from prose fiction, related to a series of case-histories of individuals carefully reading, discussing their reading lives, and thinking about the relation of literature to their existence. It enables readers to gain increased imaginative access to the works in question through seeing how they have intensely affected equivalent readers-a novelist, a poet, a doctor, a teacher, an anthologist, but also non-specialists, ordinary people within shared reading groups in many different settings, finding help from literary texts in times of often painful personal need. It is the story of the work done by Philip Davis' research unit, the Centre for Research into Reading, Literature and Society (CRILS), at the University of Liverpool, in a ten-year partnership with the outreach charity The Reader, taking serious literature to often neglected communities and struggling individuals through the shared reading-alive and aloud-of literature from all ages.  Seth Whidden, "Reading Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris and the Nineteenth-Century Prose Poem" English | ISBN: 0192849905 | 2022 | 332 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Through its readings of Charles Baudelaire's collection Le Spleen de Paris and other prose poems from the nineteenth century, this book considers the practice of reading prose poetry and how it might be different from reading poetry in verse. Among the numerous factors that helped shape the nascent modernity in Baudelaire's poetic prose are the poems' themes, forms, linguistic qualities, and modes. The contradictions identifiable at the level of prose poetry's discourse are similarly perceptible in other aspects of Baudelaire's poetic language, beyond the discursive: in the poems' formal considerations, which retain recognisable traces of verse despite their prose presentation; and, with respect to both poetic form and thematics, in the sights and sounds that contribute to their poeticity. |
