 On Rereading by Patricia Meyer Spacks English | November 18, 2013 | ISBN: 0674062221, 0674725891, 9780674267473 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 0.9 MB After retiring from a lifetime of teaching literature, Patricia Meyer Spacks embarked on a year-long project of rereading dozens of novels: childhood favorites, fiction first encountered in young adulthood and never before revisited, books frequently reread, canonical works of literature she was supposed to have liked but didn't, guilty pleasures (books she oughtn't to have liked but did), and stories reread for fun vs. those read for the classroom. On Rereading records the sometimes surprising, always fascinating, results of her personal experiment.  Noam Chomsky, "On Power and Ideology: The Managua Lectures" English | ISBN: 1608464008 | 2015 | 208 pages | MOBI | 474 KB One of Noam Chomsky's most accessible books, On Power and Ideology is a product of his 1986 visit to Managua, Nicaragua, for a lecture series at Unversidad Centroamericana. Delivered at the height of U.S. involvement in the Nicaraguan civil war, this succinct series of lectures lays out the parameters of Noam Chomsky's foreign policy analysis.  On Painting: Courses, March-June 1981 (Univocal) by Gilles Deleuze, edited by David Lapoujade, translated by Charles J. Stivale English | August 12, 2025 | ISBN: 1517918391, 1517918405, 9781452973227 | True EPUB | 360 pages | 0.7 MB Available for the first time in English: the complete and annotated transcripts of Deleuze's 1981 seminars on painting  On Our Own, Together: Peer Programs for People with Mental Illness By Sally Clay 2005 | 313 Pages | ISBN: 0826514650 | PDF | 3 MB On Our Own, Together describes the inner workings of eight successful peer-run services for mental health consumers, including drop-in centers, educational programs, and peer support/mentoring programs. Written by people who developed such programs, it reveals these services as a valuable resource within the mental health system and a precious necessity for many consumers. The book clusters the COSPs into three key types: drop-in centers, which provide varied services for their members, including meals, housing assistance, and stigma-free environments; educational programs, which train mental health consumers in recovery skills for themselves and for other consumers; and services based on peer support and mentoring. Despite their differences, the book shows, the programs share many essential characteristics. Most significantly, they demonstrate the benefits of allowing mental health consumers to operate and govern their own organizations. Also important is their emphasis on equality, mutuality, empowerment, recovery, belonging, and hope in administering services. Such core values, the book suggests, distinguish peer-run programs from the professional services that have long dominated the mental health system. In contrast to the dry, clinical reports that make up much of the current literature, this book is written "from the inside out" and, for the most part, by the people who developed the programs and who live them every day. It reveals peer-run programs as valuable resources within the mental health system and, indeed, a precious necessity for many consumers.  On Lingering and Literature (Routledge Focus on Literature) by Harold Schweizer English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367740370 | 137 Pages | True PDF | 1.4 MB  Philip Kitcher, "On John Stuart Mill " English | ISBN: 0231204140 | 2023 | 152 pages | MOBI | 697 KB John Stuart Mill expressed many of the central tenets of liberalism with unsurpassed clarity and enduring influence. Yet Mill's apparent victory in the marketplace of ideas has numbed us to the power of his arguments. To many readers today, his views can seem utterly familiar, even banal.  Newton C. A. da Costa, "On Hilbert's Sixth Problem " English | ISBN: 3030838366 | 2022 | 204 pages | MOBI | 496 KB This book explores the premise that a physical theory is an interpretation of the analytico-canonical formalism. Throughout the text, the investigation stresses that classical mechanics in its Lagrangian formulation is the formal backbone of theoretical physics. The authors start from a presentation of the analytico-canonical formalism for classical mechanics, and its applications in electromagnetism, Schrödinger's quantum mechanics, and field theories such as general relativity and gauge field theories, up to the Higgs mechanism.

On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right - a Personal History by Josiah Hesse English | January 13, 2026 | ISBN: 0553387294, 9780553387308 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 1.7 MB One part Educated, one part rebuttal to Hillbilly Elegy, On Fire for God explores the ways evangelical Christianity has preyed upon its followers while galvanizing them into the political force known today as the Christian right.  On Communicating: Otherness, Meaning, and Information By Klaus Krippendorff, edited by Fernando Bermejo 2008 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0415978599 | PDF | 3 MB Klaus Krippendorff is an influential figure in communication studies widely known for his award-winning book Content Analysis. Over the years, Krippendorff has made important contributions to the ongoing debates on fundamental issues concerning communication theory, epistemology, methods of research, critical scholarship, second-order cybernetics, the social construction of reality through language, design, and meaning. On Communicating assembles Krippendorff's most significant writings - many of which are virtually unavailable today, appearing in less accessible publications, conference proceedings, out-of-print book chapters, and articles in journals outside the communication field. In their totality, they provide a goldmine for communication students and scholars. Edited and with an introduction by Fernando Bermejo, this book provides readers with access to Krippendorff's key works. |
