Jerome McGann, "Culture and Language at Crossed Purposes: The Unsettled Records of American Settlement" English | ISBN: 0226818462 | 2022 | 284 pages | PDF | 5 MB Culture and Language at Crossed Purposes unpacks the interpretive problems of colonial treaty-making and uses them to illuminate canonical works from the period.  Cruising the Dead River: David Wojnarowicz and New York's Ruined Waterfront By Fiona Anderson 2019 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 022660361X | PDF | 5 MB In the 1970s, Manhattan's west side waterfront was a forgotten zone of abandoned warehouses and piers. Though many saw only blight, the derelict neighborhood was alive with queer people forging new intimacies through cruising. Alongside the piers' sexual and social worlds, artists produced work attesting to the radical transformations taking place in New York. Artist and writer David Wojnarowicz was right in the heart of it, documenting his experiences in journal entries, poems, photographs, films, and large-scale, site-specific projects. In Cruising the Dead River, Fiona Anderson draws on Wojnarowicz's work to explore the key role the abandoned landscape played in this explosion of queer culture. Anderson examines how the riverfront's ruined buildings assumed a powerful erotic role and gave the area a distinct identity. By telling the story of the piers as gentrification swept New York and before the AIDS crisis, Anderson unearths the buried histories of violence, regeneration, and LGBTQ activism that developed in and around the cruising scene.  Daniel Burston, "Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis: From the Frankfurt School to Contemporary Critique " English | ISBN: 1032104279 | 2022 | 318 pages | PDF | 3 MB Critical theory has traditionally been interested in engaging classical psychoanalysis rather than addressing postclassical thought. For the first time, this volume brings critical theory into proper dialogue with modern developments in the psychoanalytic movement and covers a broad range of topics in contemporary society that revisit the Frankfurt School and its contributions to psychoanalytic social critique.  Jeffrey Rosen, "Conversations with RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Life, Love, Liberty, and Law" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1250235162, 1250762642 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 2.3 mb In her own words, Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers an intimate look at her life and career, through an extraordinary series of conversations with the head of the National Constitution Center.  Ahmed W. Waheed, "Constructing 'Pakistan' through Knowledge Production in International Relations and Area Studies" English | 2019 | ISBN: 9811507414, 9811507449 | PDF | pages: 242 | 2.3 mb This book analyses the discourse on Pakistan by exploring the knowledge production processes through which the International Relations community, Asian and South Asian area study centres, and think-tanks construct Pakistan's identity. This book does not attempt to trace how Pakistan has been historically defined, explained, or understood by the International Relations interpretive communities or to supplant these understandings with the author's version of what Pakistan is. Instead, this study focuses on investigating how the identity of Pakistan is fixed or stabilized via practices of the interpretive communities. In other words, this book attempts to address the following questions: How is the knowledge on Pakistan produced discursively? How is this knowledge represented in the writings on Pakistan? What are the conditions under which it is possible to make authoritative claims about Pakistan?  Connecting to the Living History of Radiation Exposure English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031187571 | 147 Pages | PDF (True) | 4 MB This book highlights the multiple ways of telling stories of radiation exposure; they include stories about Japan, Australia, the United States, the Canadian Arctic, and more, and they probe the framing of major incidents such as Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. All the chapters in this book are written by authors who participated in our work at Oregon State University and have benefited from hearing not only from scientists but also from those whose lives were directly affected by the history of radiation exposure. The question 'What is at stake when researching and narrating the histories of radiation exposure?' is discussed, but the book does not reinforce existing frameworks, such as legal decisions or government policies, but rather highlights what narrative framings accomplish and commit by scrutinizing them with rigorous research, varied approaches, and, above all, listening to those whose lives were most affected by exposure.  Nancie L. Gonzalez, "Conflict, Migration, and the Expression of Ethnicity" English | ISBN: 0367012219 | 2020 | 174 pages | EPUB | 462 KB This book sets forth some of the common understandings about conflict, migration, and the expression of ethnicity, together with a glimpse of how each presentation is inter-related. It discusses how conflict produces and is a product of migration, and ethnic phenomena are interwoven with both.  V. Scott Gordon PhD, John L. Clevenger PhD, "Computer Graphics Programming in OpenGL with C++" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1683922212 | EPUB | pages: 384 | 29.3 mb This book provides step-by-step instruction on modern 3D graphics shader programming in OpenGL with C++, along with its theoretical foundations. It is appropriate both for computer science graphics courses and for professionals interested in mastering 3D graphics skills. It has been designed in a 4-color, "teach-yourself" format with numerous examples and detailed explanations. Every shader stage is explored, starting with the basics of modeling, lighting, textures, etc., up through advanced techniques such as tessellation, soft shadows, and generating realistic materials and environments. The book includes companion files with all of the source code, models, textures, skyboxes and normal maps used in the book.  Complexity Economics for Environmental Governance English | 2023 | ISBN: 1108428827 | 489 Pages | PDF | 17 MB In Complexity Economics for Environmental Governance, Jean-François Mercure reframes environmental policy and provides a rigorous methodology necessary to tackle the complexity of environmental policy and the transition to sustainability. The book offers a detailed account of the deficiencies of environmental economics and then develops a theory of innovation and macroeconomics based on complexity theory. It also develops a new foundation for evidence-based policy-making using a Risk-Opportunity Analysis applied to the sustainability transition. This multidisciplinary work was developed in partnership with prominent natural scientists and economists as well as active policy-makers with the aim to revolutionize thinking in the face of the full complexity of the sustainability transition, and to show how it can best be governed to minimize its distributional impacts. The book should be read by academics and policy-makers seeking new ways to think about environmental policy-making.  Charisma K. Lepcha, "Communities, Institutions and Histories of India's Northeast" English | ISBN: 1032158387 | 2021 | 408 pages | EPUB | 1387 KB People from India's Northeast have crafted distinct as well as diverse cultural cryptograms, discernments and personality which is frequently at loggerheads with the power politics from outside the region. Thus, attention is often on the societies of the Northeast India as they putter with transforming institutions and more intensive resource consumption in the wake of modernization and development activities. This volume is an examination into questions of who exercises control, who constructs knowledge/ideas about the region and how far such discourses are people-centric. It inspects how India's Northeast have been understood in colonial and post-colonial contexts through the contributions from research scholars and faculties from different academic spaces. These contributions are both from within the region as well as from neighbourhood. Thus, presenting a cross-dimensional gaze on social, political, economic as well as issues related to space-relation. |
