Reason After its Eclipse: On Late Critical Theory
English | 2016 | ISBN: 029930650X | 266 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.2 MB
Martin Jay tackles a question as old as Plato and still pressing today: what is reason, and what roles does and should it have in human endeavor? Applying the tools of intellectual history, he examines the overlapping, but not fully compatible, meanings that have accrued to the term "reason" over two millennia, homing in on moments of crisis, critique, and defense of reason.

Reading for Health: Medical Narratives and the Nineteenth-Century Novel
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0821422243 | 182 Pages | EPUB (True) | 0.8 MB
In Reading for Health: Medical Narratives and the Nineteenth-Century Novel, Erika Wright argues that the emphasis in Victorian Studies on disease as the primary source of narrative conflict that must be resolved has obscured the complex reading practices that emerge around the concept of health. By shifting attention to the ways that prevention of illness and the preservation of well-being operate in fiction, both thematically and structurally, Wright offers a new approach to reading character and voice, order and temporality, setting and metaphor. As Wright reveals, while canonical works by Austen, Brontë, Dickens, Martineau, and Gaskell register the pervasiveness of a conventional "therapeutic" form of action and mode of reading, they demonstrate as well an equally powerful investment in the achievement and maintenance of "health"-what Wright refers to as a "hygienic" narrative-both in personal and domestic conduct and in social interaction of the individual within the community.

React Design Patterns and Best Practices - Fifth Edition
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9781806108251 | 172 Pages | EPUB | 2.3 MB
React continues to evolve, and so should the way you design, build, and ship applications. This new edition helps you make decisions that work reliably in production, focusing on patterns, real-world insights, and advanced techniques that streamline development and create robust, scalable applications. Along the way, it highlights common anti-patterns that slow teams down and demonstrates practical solutions.

Rapid Perioperative Care

Rapid Perioperative Care is an essential text for students and practitioners requiring up-to-date fundamental information on the perioperative environment. Covering a wide range of subjects related to perioperative practice and care, each chapter is concise and focused to guide the reader to find information quickly and effectively. This book uses a structured approach to perioperative care, starting with an introduction to the perioperative environment, anaesthetics, surgery and recovery, followed by postoperative problems and finally the roles of the Surgical Care Practitioner (SCP).

Ramification Groups of Local Fields: with Geometric Applications
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1009617532 | 473 Pages | PDF | 13 MB
Ramification groups of local fields are essential tools for studying boundary behaviour in geometric objects and the degeneration of Galois representations. This book presents a comprehensive development of the recently established theory of upper ramification groups of local fields with imperfect residue fields, starting from the foundations. It also revisits classical theory, including the Hasse-Arf theorem, and offers an optimal generalisation via log monogenic extensions. The conductor of Galois representations, defined through ramification groups, has numerous geometric applications, notably the celebrated Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula. A new proof of the Deligne-Kato formula is also provided; this result plays a pivotal role in the theory of characteristic cycles. With a foundational understanding of commutative rings and Galois theory, graduate students and researchers will be well-equipped to engage with this rich area of arithmetic geometry.

Ramet Rules: Individual Based Modelling of Clonal Plants
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9402423648 | 183 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB
The book provides a way forward to advance our numerical models to include the details of modular plant growth that are key to understanding clonal plant dynamics and colonization. Readers are introduced to an individual based approach combined with a specific growth rate model to simulate aquatic clonal plants that can be applied to other species and ecosystems. These lessons are of interest to the natural resource manager practicing conservation and restoration, as well as ecologists working to develop models that include realism while also allowing for emergent behaviour.

Raising Leaders: Using the principles of parenting at work to become a great leader and create great leaders
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0648753050 | 96 Pages | EPUB (True) | 0.9 MB
Like parenting, leadership is difficult, challenging and rewarding - sometimes all in the first hour of the day! This enlightening new book explores the common principles of parenting and leading that will help you become a better leader and create great leaders in your team.You don't need to be a parent to be able to see the comparisons between raising children and creating next generation leaders (or indeed becoming a better leader yourself). We have all been raised by someone - if not a parent, another relative or carer - who traditionally shows the actions and considerations parents are known for. When you focus on observing the behaviour of leaders you admire, you will see similarities between them and your own experiences as a child or parent. Like parenting, leadership is difficult, challenging and rewarding - sometimes all in the first hour of the day. Whether parenting or leading you need to focus on five core areas to get the best out of your people:1.Love2.Environment3.Health and wellbeing4.Language5.Vision.Each of these core areas is discussed in detail through the book. Author, Wendy Born, uses a unique framework drawn from the principles of parenting that will help you to build and lead great teams. All you need is:Foresight to have a vision, strategy and purpose to guide your way into the future and manage your talent to fit.Plain sight to lead by example, establish boundaries and expectations creating a culture of accountability. Insight into the importance of a positive attitude and mindset, good work/life balance and establishing trust and connection as the foundation of your team.
