 Rationality and Moral Theory: How Intimacy Generates Reasons (Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory) By Diane Jeske 2008 | 190 Pages | ISBN: 041599036X | PDF | 2 MB This bookprovides answers to both normative and metaethical questions in a way that shows the interconnection of both types of questions, and also shows how a complete theory of reasons can be developed by moving back and forth between the two types of questions. It offers an account of the nature of intimate relationships and of the nature of the reasons that intimacy provides, and then uses that account to defend a traditional intuitionist metaethics. The book thus combines attention to the details of the lived moral life - the context in which many of our most pressing moral questions arise, how we deliberate and make moral decisions, the complexities that plague our attempts to know what we ought to do - with theoretical rigor in offering an account of the nature of reasons, how we come to have moral knowledge, and how we can adjudicate between competing positions.  Sergio Tenenbaum, "Rational Powers in Action: Instrumental Rationality and Extended Agency" English | ISBN: 0198851480 | 2021 | 258 pages | EPUB | 270 KB Human actions unfold over time, in pursuit of ends that are not fully specified in advance. Rational Powers in Action locates these features of the human condition at the heart of a new theory of instrumental rationality. Where many theories of rational agency focus on instantaneous choices between sharply defined outcomes, treating the temporally extended and partially open-ended character of action as an afterthought, this book argues that the deep structure of instrumental rationality can only be understood if we see how it governs the pursuit of long-term, indeterminate ends. These are ends that cannot be realized through a single momentary action, and whose content leaves partly open what counts as realizing the end. Sergio Tenenbaum argues that we need to focus on temporal duration and the indeterminacy of ends in intentional action, even to explain the rational governance of relatively simple actions. Theories of moment-by-moment preference maximization, or indeed any understanding of instrumental rationality on the basis of momentary mental items, cannot capture the fundamental structure of our instrumentally rational capacities. Tenenbaum provides a new theory of instrumental rationality as rationality  Joseph H Silverman, "Rational Points on Elliptic Curves " English | ISBN: 331918587X | 2015 | 332 pages | MOBI | 594 KB The theory of elliptic curves involves a pleasing blend of algebra, geometry, analysis, and number theory. This volume stresses this interplay as it develops the basic theory, thereby providing an opportunity for advanced undergraduates to appreciate the unity of modern mathematics. At the same time, every effort has been made to use only methods and results commonly included in the undergraduate curriculum. This accessibility, the informal writing style, and a wealth of exercises make Rational Points on Elliptic Curves an ideal introduction for students at all levels who are interested in learning about Diophantine equations and arithmetic geometry.  Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Distinctive Features (CBT Distinctive Features) By Windy Dryden 2008 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0415430852 | PDF | 1 MB Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) encourages the client to focus on their emotional problems in order to understand, challenge and change the irrational beliefs that underpin these problems. REBT can help clients to strengthen conviction in their alternative rational beliefs by acting in ways that are consistent with them and thus encourage a healthier outlook. This accessible and direct guide introduces the reader to REBT while indicating how it is different from other approaches within the broad cognitive behavioural therapy spectrum. Divided into two sections; The Distinctive Theoretical Features of REBT and The Distinctive Practical Features of REBT, this book presents concise, straightforward information in 30 key points derived from the author's own experience in the field. Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Distinctive Features will be invaluable to both experienced clinicians, and those new to the field. It will appeal to psychotherapists and counsellors, together with students and practitioners who are keen to learn how REBT can be differentiated from the other approaches to CBT.

The text follows the full path from geology to end use, showing how these materials move through exploration, mining, beneficiation, cracking, solvent extraction, refining, metal production, and final component manufacturing. Each stage is examined with attention to the chemistry, engineering, capital requirements, and regulatory pressures that shape global capacity. Readers see why only a few regions control separation and high purity refining, why heavy rare earths remain the most constrained, and how these limits influence trade flows, pricing, and long term supply stability.  Rare Earth Materials: Global Policies by Alessio Faccia English | December 20, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0G9WKLWSV | 84 pages | EPUB | 1.73 Mb Rare Earth Materials: Global Policies examines one of the most sensitive segments of the global economy. Rare earth materials sit at the centre of industrial production, defence systems, digital technologies, and the energy transition. Control over supply shapes power relations among states and influences long-term economic security.  Rare Earth Materials - An Introduction (Rare Earth Materials - Markets, Technology, and Geopolitics Book 1) by Alessio Faccia English | December 3, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DSCP9BKT | 163 pages | EPUB | 1.66 Mb Rare earth materials play a central role in modern industry, yet public debate often misreads their nature. This book examines them with a technical lens and questions common assumptions. It explains their atomic structure, their behaviour in geological systems, and the conditions that lead to economic concentrations. It looks at why these elements sit at the centre of advanced electronics, magnets, optics, and defence supply chains. It also examines mining routes, ore processing, refining limits, and the factors that shape global output.
