 The Three-Pole Order: China, Russia, America - and the New Geometry of Power English | Dec 23, 2025 | ISBN: 9798232849702 | 69 pages | EPUB (True) | 297.87 KB The global order has changed without a formal declaration. Power has not dispersed evenly, nor has it remained anchored to the institutions that once defined it. Instead, it has reorganized around three primary actors-China, Russia, and the United States-whose capacity to endure competition now shapes the limits of international politics.  The Three Poles of the Earth: Challenges to Sustainable Development in Fragile Environments (Sustainable Development Goals Series) by Xin Li, Anmin Duan, Donghui Shangguan English | June 1, 2025 | ISBN: 9819777208 | 345 pages | PDF | 24 Mb The book summarizes the latest research achievements of the "CAS Earth Poles: Big Data for the Three Poles" project in actively responding to the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs). The book covers six aspects: projections of future climate change in polar regions, assessment and response to climate-related cryospheric disasters, land water resource and terrestrial ecological environments in polar regions, marine environmental changes, the SDG big data platform, and big data products that support sustainable development. The book emphasizes the critical role of Earth's three poles in achieving global sustainable development, and identifies current shortcomings, and outlines major challenges. However, the book provides a comprehensive review of scientific actions and the latest research progress toward achieving SDGs at Earth's three poles. Furthermore, the book introduces the three-pole big data platform and data products that support calculations and assessments for polar SDGs. Finally, the book offers recommendations for revising SDGs and indicators specific to the three-pole regions, and discusses pathways to achieve sustainable development in these regions. Ultimately, the book aims to address the gaps between polar sustainable development and the United Nations' SDGs, ensuring that the sustainable development of the Earth's three poles keeps pace with global efforts.  The Threads of Reading: Strategies for Literacy Development By Karen Tankersley 2003 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 087120794X | PDF | 3 MB How can teachers make sure that all students gain the reading skills they need to be successful in school and in life? In this book, Karen Tankersley describes the six foundational "threads" that students need to study in order to become effective readers: phonemic awareness, phonics and decoding, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and higher-order processing.For each area, the author explains how students acquire the reading skills they need and offers a series of skill-building strategies and activities that teachers can use in the classroom. Although reading is perhaps most intensely taught in the kindergarten and 1st-grade classrooms, Tankersley emphasizes that helping students become lifelong readers is a task for all teachers, including content-area teachers in middle and high schools.The Threads of Reading addresses key questions about literacy, such as- What makes a difference in reading achievement?- How much reading time is enough?- How can teachers use writing to build reading skills?- How can teachers help students make meaning from their reading?The strategies in the book address many situations, from individual instruction to small- or large-group instruction, from kindergarten to high school. Teachers will appreciate the multitude of activities provided, and administrators will learn to better evaluate the reading programs in place in their districts and schools. Grounded in both research and "teacher lore" from actual classrooms, this book is a solid guide to helping students become lifelong readers.  Benny Morris, "The Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey's Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924" English | ISBN: 067491645X | 2019 | 672 pages | MOBI | 3 MB A reappraisal of the giant massacres perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire, and then the Turkish Republic, against their Christian minorities.  The Thermodynamics of Mathematical Representation by Daniel J. Graham English | July 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1032981504 | 314 pages | MOBI | 13 Mb Thermodynamics is the physical science surrounding work, heat, and relationships across fundamental quantities, and situates itself near the center of multiple disciplines through its generality and timelessness. Its laws required no rewriting after the twentieth century revolutions of quantum mechanics, relativity, and solid state physics, just to name three subjects. The nine chapters of this book make appeal to thermodynamic notions and laws to get under the hood of mathematics―the language of the physical sciences―without just echoing things best said and written in math books. It takes a system to learn about another system―we all need thermometers, voltmeters, and other gadgets to get to know objects of interest. But just as critical are the numbers and functions we put to the task, however relegated they are to computers in the modern day for the heavy lifting. To be sure, mathematical representations like x = ½, 5.2, π, e, etc., and f(x) = x2, sin(x), etc., are never in physical contact with the solids, liquids, and gases that draw our attention, but they are as impacted by the same natural laws as the lab apparatus itself.  The Theatricality of Greek Tragedy: Playing Space and Chorus By Graham Ley 2007 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0226477576 | PDF | 2 MB Ancient Greek tragedy has been an inspiration to Western culture, but the way it was first performed has long remained in question. In The Theatricality of Greek Tragedy, Graham Ley provides an illuminating discussion of key issues relating to the use of the playing space and the nature of the chorus, offering a distinctive impression of the performance of Greek tragedy in the fifth century BCE.Drawing on evidence from the surviving texts of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, Ley explains how scenes with actors were played in the open ground of the orchestra, often considered as exclusively the dancing place of the chorus. In reviewing what is known of the music and dance of Greek antiquity, Ley goes on to show that in the original productions the experience of the chorus-expressed in song and dance and in interaction with the characters-remained a vital characteristic in the performance of tragedy. Combining detailed analysis with broader reflections about the nature of ancient Greek tragedy as an art form, this volume-supplemented with a series of illustrative drawings and diagrams-will be a necessary addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in literature, theater, or classical studies.  The Thai Home Kitchen Cookbook - Curries, Stir-Fries, and Noodle Bowls with Big, Bold Flavors English | Aug 29, 2025 | ISBN: 9798231740864 | 277 pages | EPUB (True) | 2.13 MB The Thai Home Kitchen Cookbook - Curries, Stir-Fries, and Noodle Bowls with Big, Bold Flavors  The Temple and the Community in Qumran and the New Testament: A Comparative Study in the Temple Symbolism of the Qumran Texts and the New Testament (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series) By Bertil Gartner 2005 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 0521020484 | PDF | 5 MB This is the first of a series of monograph supplements to the journal New Testament Studies. The main purpose of the series is to make possible publication of work which is too long for inclusion in the journal. The monographs will be published in either English, French or German: the present one is in English. Dr G?rtner's purpose is to follow in detail the parallels between the New Testament and Qumran writings in their concpet of the community - Christian or Essene - as a spiritual temple. The whole complex of relationships between Qumran and the early Church is studied with the purpose of extending our knowledge of the Jewish background of the New Testament. Dr G?rtner's conclusions lend strong support to the view that it is from this Qumran type of Judaism that the Christian Church arose.
