Christine Ryan, "Children of War: Child Soldiers as Victims and Participants in the Sudan Civil War " English | ISBN: 1780760175 | 2012 | 288 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The use of child soldiers in the Sudan Civil War has shattered the accepted understanding of why children join armies. Thousands of children signed up to participate in Africa's longest running civil war, yet so far the international community and the academic world have viewed them as victims rather than participants. In this groundbreaking new study, Christine Emily Ryan challenges preconceptions which have held back aid work and reconstruction in the Sudan region. Using face-to-face testimonies of former child soldiers, she illuminates the multi-dimensional motivations which children have for joining the Sudan Liberation Army, and unravels the complexity of their political participation. At the same time, interviews with NGO personnel illustrate the gap that exists between the West and the reality of conflict in Africa. 'Children of War' provides a powerful critique of the position taken by the international community, NGOs and academia to the phenomenon of child soldiers, and calls for a new approach to conflict resolution in Africa.  Maria Petmesidou, "Child Poverty, Youth (Un)Employment, and Social Inclusion " English | ISBN: 3838210026 | 2016 | 200 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Worldwide child and youth poverty remain the biggest barrier to achieving a better life in adulthood. Progress in lifting children out of poverty in the last decades has been slow and limited in the developing world, while the recent global economic crisis has exacerbated child poverty, youth unemployment, and social exclusion in many developed countries. This book critically examines the long-term consequences of growing up poor, the close linkages between deprivation and human rights violations in childhood and adolescence, and their effects on labor market entry and future career in a number of developing and developed countries. Drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives, it makes a forceful case for the eradication of child poverty to take center stage in the Sustainable Development Goals.  Characterization I: -/- By Helmut G. Karge, Ekkehard Geidel (auth.), Hellmut G. Karge, Jens Weitkamp (eds.) 2004 | 606 Pages | ISBN: 3540643354 | PDF | 6 MB Molecular Sieves - Science and Technology covers, in a comprehensive manner, the science and technology of zeolites and all related microporous and mesoporous materials. Authored by renowned experts, the contributions are grouped together topically in such a way that each volume of the book series deals with a specific sub-field. Volume 4 covers the characterization of molecular sieves with the help of the most important spectroscopic techniques (Characterization I), i.e. IR, Raman, NMR, EPR, UV-VIS Spectroscopy, X-ray absorption, photoelectron and Mössbauer Spectroscopy. Theory, experiment and application in selected examples are discussed.  George C. Edwards III, "Changing Their Minds?: Donald Trump and Presidential Leadership" English | ISBN: 022677581X | 2021 | 441 pages | EPUB | 1288 KB Despite popular perceptions, presidents rarely succeed in persuading either the public or members of Congress to change their minds and move from opposition to particular policies to support of them. As a result, the White House is not able to alter the political landscape and create opportunities for change. Instead, successful presidents recognize and skillfully exploit the opportunities already found in their political environments. If they fail to understand their strategic positions, they are likely to overreach and experience political disaster.  Michelle Williams, "Challenging Inequality in South Africa: Transitional Compasses " English | ISBN: 0367551616 | 2020 | 138 pages | EPUB | 2 MB In Challenging Inequality in South Africa: Transitional Compasses leading scholars of South Africa explore creative possibilities to challenge structures of economic, social and political power that produce inequality. Through concrete empirical examples of movements, workers' struggles, initiatives, and politics in challenging inequality, the authors illustrate 'transitional compasses' that go beyond protest politics to a 'generative' politics, a politics of building the alternatives in the interstitial spaces of capitalism. The conceptual framing is oriented around the way in which power is produced and reproduced through intricate relationships between hegemonic projects and everyday life. While power underpins all social relations, it is often taken for granted, as it is frequently hidden behind other social relations. Resistance to power emerges through engendering counter-hegemonic projects that are intertwined with alternative everyday practices. The authors highlight sources of alternative forms of power found in resistance to dominant forms of power through concrete experiences to create transformative alternatives. To concretize the conceptual framing, the authors look at the emancipatory possibilities of a universal basic income, the use of law in tackling inequality in health and education, creative initiatives to establish a people-centred food system through food sovereignty, new forms of organizing led by precarious workers, democratic possibilities in local state delivery, and attempts at reconceptualizing the good life by looking at issues of happiness and ecosocialism.

Ward, "Censoring Queen Victoria: How Two Gentlemen Edited a Queen and Created an Icon" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1780743637, 1780746547 | ASIN: B00OM7YW9C | EPUB | pages: 220 | 0.8 mb 'Fascinating' BBC History  Keith B. Armstrong, "Care and Repair of Advanced Composites" English | 2005 | pages: 684 | ISBN: 0768010624 | PDF | 16,0 mb This reference for repair technicians and design engineers offers an in-depth look at the principal materials and processes involved in manufacturing, inspecting, and repairing advanced composite aircraft structures. The first edition of the book was written to meet the needs of composite repair technicians who repair aircraft components and structures for return to airline service. This second edition has been updated to keep pace with the growing use of composite materials in commercial aviation. Topics new to this edition include nondestructive inspection, fasteners for composite materials, and repair design. Armstrong has devoted his career to advanced composite aircraft structures.

Sattler, "Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook: Nanoparticles, Nanocapsules, Nanofibers, Nanoporous Structures, and Nanocomposites, Volume II" English | 2016 | pages: 727 | ISBN: 1482252708, 036778307X | PDF | 90,7 mb The Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook contains extensive, interdisciplinary coverage of carbon nanomaterials, encompassing the full scope of the field―from physics, chemistry, and materials science to molecular biology, engineering, and medicine―in two comprehensive volumes.  Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols By John Swansbury (auth.), John Swansbury (eds.) 2003 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 1588290808 | PDF | 2 MB Cytogenetic studies of malignancy have become an essential tool in the clinical management of cancer patients, but they are not uniformly utilized, even in well-developed countries. In Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols, experienced cytogeneticists describe in step-by-step detail the key cytogenetic and FISH techniques used by modern clinical laboratories in the genetic analysis of human malignancies, as well as explain how best to interpret the results. The book's practical advice and methods are suitable for use at every level of expertise, including fully established laboratories, but with a sympathetic bias toward anyone considering setting up a new cytogenetics service. Here the reader will find not only elementary tutorials on the fundamentals of human karyotypes and chromosome analysis, but also detailed discussions on how laboratories may optimally upgrade their repertoire of available capabilities to include such newer complementary techniques as CGH, FISH, and M-FISH. Each protocol contains many novel ideas and time-saving techniques, expert commentary, tricks of the trade, alternative approaches, and suggestions that will help yield the results that clinicians want. Eminently practical for every stage of diagnostic service, Cancer Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols offers hospital and other pathology laboratories a user-friendly collection of both standard and advanced techniques, all carefully designed to improve the diagnosis and clinical management of cancer patients today.
