Free Download The Persistence of the Ideological Lie: The Totalitarian Impulse Then and Now by Daniel J. Mahoney
English | April 15, 2025 | ISBN: 1641773731 | True EPUB | 168 pages | 0.5 MB
The Ideological Lie,as Solzhenitsyn calls it, was born when modern revolutionaries replaced the age-old distinction between good and evil with the illusory distinction between progress and reaction. In the name of progress, evil was called goodness, and goodness in the form of wise restraint was labeled evil, backward, racist, colonialist, sexist, etc.
Jacobinism, Marxism-Leninism, National Socialism, Progressive Democracy, the New Left, and now the new woke dispensation have all iterated upon this central conceit. Their adherents were all frenziedly preoccupied with being on "the right side of history"-the side of "progress."

Free Download The People's Voice : The Orator in American Society By Barnet Baskerville
2014 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 0813151139 | EPUB | 1 MB
In this flavorful and perceptive study of the American orator, Barnet Baskerville makes an inquiry into American attitudes toward orators and oratory and the reflection of these attitudes in speaking practices. He examines the role of the orator in society and the kinds or qualities of oratory that were dominant in each period of American history, and he looks into the nature and importance of oratory as perceived by audiences and by speakers themselves. By examining this "public image" of the orator, the author is able to tell us much about the people who drew that image.

English | EPUB | 2019 | 315 Pages | ISBN : 3030110478 | 141.1 MB
Addressing the pear genome, this book covers the current state of knowledge regarding genetic and genomic resources, breeding approaches and strategies, as well as cutting-edge content on how these tools and resources are being / soon will be utilized to pursue genetic improvement efforts that will combine fruit quality, high productivity, precocious fruit bearing, and long postharvest storage life, along with elevated levels of resistance to various major diseases and insect pests. Throughout, the book also explores potential opportunities and challenges in genomic analysis, sequence assembly, structural features, as well as functional studies that will assist in future genetic improvement efforts for pears.The pear (Pyrus), an important tree fruit crop, is grown worldwide, and has several economically relevant cultivars. In recent years, modern genetic and genomic tools have resulted in the development of a wide variety of valuable resources for the pear. In the past few years, completion of whole genome assemblies of 'Dangshansuli', an Asian pear, and 'Bartlett', a European pear, have paved the way for new discoveries regarding for example, the pear's genomic structure, chromosome evolution, and patterns of genetic variation. This wealth of new resources will have a major impact on our knowledge of the pear genome; in turn, these resources and knowledge will have significant impacts on future genetic improvement efforts

Free Download The Pattern of Change: A Mathematical and Philosophical Study of How We See the World
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009546511 | 601 Pages | PDF | 66 MB
One of life's most fundamental revelations is change. Presenting the fascinating view that pattern is the manifestation of change, this unique book explores the science, mathematics, and philosophy of change and the ways in which they have come to inform our understanding of the world. Through discussions on chance and determinism, symmetry and invariance, information and entropy, quantum theory and paradox, the authors trace the history of science and bridge the gaps between mathematical, physical, and philosophical perspectives. Change as a foundational concept is deeply rooted in ancient Chinese thought, and this perspective is integrated into the narrative throughout, providing philosophical counterpoints to customary Western thought. Ultimately, this is a book about ideas. Intended for a wide audience, not so much as a book of answers, but rather an introduction to new ways of viewing the world.

by James Miller
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0231220049 | 216 Pages | True ePUB | 0.25 MB
The films of Pedro Almodóvar teem with characters who at once are and are not alter egos of the director. In film after film, the Spanish auteur mines his past for alternative selves, telling and retelling formative stories from his own life, plumbing the depths of his memory while exploring other lives he might have led. What can Almodóvar's work tell us about the quest for self-knowledge―for understanding who we are and who we might yet become?

Free Download Ernest Jakaza, "The Palgrave Handbook of Language and Crisis Communication in Sub-Saharan Africa"
English | ISBN: 3031430581 | 2024 | 589 pages | EPUB | 33 MB
This handbook provides a detailed and sustained examination of the scope, purpose and practical application of crisis and disaster management communication in this critical region of the African continent, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The volume lays the foundation that enables a nuanced appreciation of two significant issues. The first pertains to SSA's vulnerability to both natural and man-made phenomena. Secondly, it argues that communication plays a critical role in so far as the identification, social construction, raising awareness, preparation, mitigation and eradication of crises and disasters in the region. Communication plays a critical role in potentially reducing the impacts of crises and disasters before their occurrence. This handbook is a key resource for academics, students and practitioners in areas such as political communication, media communication, language and communication, brand communication, social/digital media communication, and crisis communication, among others.
