David Metzer, "The Ballad in American Popular Music: From Elvis to Beyoncé" English | ISBN: 1107161525 | 2017 | 244 pages | PDF | 4 MB While ballads have been a cornerstone of popular music for decades, this is the first book to explore the history and appeal of these treasured songs. David Metzer investigates how and why the styles of ballads have changed over a period of more than seventy years, offering a definition of the genre and discussing the influences of celebrated performers including Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston. The emotional power of the ballad is strongly linked to the popular mood of the time, and consequently songs can tell us much about how events and emotions were felt and understood in wider culture at specific moments of recent American history. Tracing both the emotional and stylistic developments of the genre from the 1950s to the present day, this lively and engaging volume is as much a musical history as it is a history of emotional life in America.  The Art of Tinkering: Meet 150+ Makers Working at the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology By Karen Wilkinson, Mike Petrich 2014 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1616286091 | PDF | 38 MB The Art of Tinkering is a collection of exhibits, artwork, and projects that celebrate a whole new way to learn, in which people create their own knowledge through making and doing, working with readily available materials, getting their hands dirty, collaborating with others, problem-solving in the most fun sense of the word, and, yes, oftentimes failing and bouncing back from getting stuck. Each artist featured in The Art of Tinkering goes through this process, and lovingly shares the backstory behind their own work so that readers can feel invited to join in on the whimsy. Whether it's sharing their favorite tools (who knew toenail clippers could be so handy?) or offering a glimpse of their workspaces (you'd be amazed how many electronics tools you can pack into one pantry!), the stories, lessons, and tips in The Art of Tinkering offer a fascinating portrait of today's maker scene.  The Art of Immutable Architecture: Theory and Practice of Data Management in Distributed Systems by Michael L. Perry English | July 15, 2020 | ISBN: 1484259548 | 444 pages | MOBI | 9.31 Mb This book teaches you how to evaluate a distributed system from the perspective of immutable objects. You will understand the problems in existing designs, know how to make small modifications to correct those problems, and learn to apply the principles of immutable architecture to your tools.  The Art of Bouncing Back: Find Your Flow to Thrive at Work and in Life - Any Time You're Off Your Game English | 2023 | ISBN: 1264854021 | 208 Pages | MOBI EPUB (True) | 2 MB With apologies to Benjamin Franklin, there are actually three things in life that are certain: Death, taxes, and the fact that sometimes, life will throw you a gut punch. Coach Dar has seen a fair share of calamitous situations in her 25+-year career, from major league players suffering slumps and season-ending injuries to executives floundering professionally and experiencing financial devastation-plus her own setbacks like three strokes before the age of 45 and the loss of both of her parents.  Vijay Sarde, "The Archaeology of the Natha Sampradaya in Western India, 12th to 15th Century " English | ISBN: 103221564X | 2023 | 228 pages | PDF | 46 MB This book studies Nātha sampradāya through archaeological evidence for the first time. Drawing on a pioneering approach to the study of ascetic traditions, it investigates not only the nature of the Nātha sampradāya's religious architecture but also examines the extent to which they shared space with other religious groups such as the devotees of Siva and Sakti, Buddhism, and Islam, especially with the Sufi tradition.  The American Stamp: Postal Iconography, Democratic Citizenship, and Consumerism in the United States by Richard Handler, Laura Goldblatt English | January 31, 2023 | ISBN: 0231208243 | True EPUB/PDF | 368 pages | 74.6/24 MB More than three thousand different images appeared on United States postage stamps from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth. Limited at first to the depiction of a small cast of characters and patriotic images, postal iconography gradually expanded as the Postal Service sought to depict the country's history in all its diversity. This vast breadth has helped make stamp collecting a widespread hobby and made stamps into consumer goods in their own right.  Michael J. Hogan, "The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Biography" English | ISBN: 1107186994 | 2017 | 324 pages | PDF | 31 MB In his new book, Michael J. Hogan, a leading historian of the American presidency, offers a new perspective on John Fitzgerald Kennedy, as seen not from his life and times but from his afterlife in American memory. The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy considers how Kennedy constructed a popular image of himself, in effect, a brand, as he played the part of president on the White House stage. The cultural trauma brought on by his assassination further burnished that image and began the process of transporting Kennedy from history to memory. Hogan shows how Jacqueline Kennedy, as the chief guardian of her husband's memory, devoted herself to embedding the image of the slain president in the collective memory of the nation, evident in the many physical and literary monuments dedicated to his memory. Regardless of critics, most Americans continue to see Kennedy as his wife wanted him remembered: the charming war hero, the loving husband and father, and the peacemaker and progressive leader who inspired confidence and hope in the American people.  Texts from the Middle: Documents from the Mediterranean World, 650-1650 edited by Brian A. Catlos, Thomas E. Burman, Mark D. Meyerson English | August 23, 2022 | ISBN: 0520296532 | True EPUB/PDF | 289 pages | 2.5/10.3 MB Texts from the Middle is a companion primary source reader to the textbook The Sea in the Middle. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the textbook, providing an original history of the Middle Ages that places the Mediterranean at the geographical center of the study of the period from 650 to 1650.  J. Tochukwu Omenma, "Ten Years of Boko Haram in Nigeria: The Dynamics and Counterinsurgency Challenges" English | ISBN: 3031227689 | 2023 | 189 pages | PDF | 9 MB This book provides a contemporary overview of Boko Haram's activities. Since Boko Haram emerged in 2002, media-driven narratives as well as social scientific methodologies have been increasingly applied to draw generalisable conclusions on what goals the groups have pursued, what strategies it has used for these purposes and the counter campaign strategies authorities have pursued. But from 2009 to 2018, Boko Haram has pursued high-intensity violence: assassinations, bombing, kidnappings, beheading or threats of violence, conscriptions and territorial occupation. This makes it imperative to deepen and broaden our understanding of the groups' activities toward a problem-solving and policy-relevant analysis.  Tectonics of Asia (Northern, Central and Eastern Asia) by Oleg V. Petrov English | EPUB | 2021 | 265 Pages | ISBN : 303062000X | 107.8 MB The book provides the results of tectonic, geological and geophysical studies of Northern, Central and Eastern Asia obtained over the last 20 years, and a Tectonic map for this area overview as well as essays on its geodynamic evolution. |
