Battleship: The Greatest Fighting Ships in History
English | 2022 | ISBN: 180032538X | 142 Pages | EPUB (True) | 0.7 MB
In this riveting book, leading historian Richard Hough examines fifteen of history's most significant and interesting battleships, from Lord Howard Effingham's Ark Royal, which held the Spanish Armada at bay, to the American New Jersey, which took part in three wars, and whose guns still remain ready for action. From the mighty German Bismarck of 1941, destroyed on its first operation voyage, Battleship ranges to Admiral Nelson's legendary HMS Victory, still a flagship after more than 200 years

Basics of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy: Acquiring Therapy Skills Step by Step
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032194474 | 188 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book presents a structured, pragmatic approach to Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RE&CBT), emphasizing the identification and restructuring of irrational beliefs that underlie emotional disturbances. It outlines the ABC model-Activating event, Belief, Consequence-as the foundation for understanding and treating emotional blockages, using techniques like inference chaining, disputation, and rational alternative formulation. The book integrates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies, supported by extensive examples, therapeutic session structures, and homework assignments to foster emotional insight and behavioral change. It also addresses common errors in psychotherapy, relapse prevention, and therapist development, aiming to empower both clients and practitioners toward lasting emotional resilience and self-sufficiency.

Barycentric calculus in euclidean and hyperbolic geometry: a comparative introduction
English | 2010 | ISBN: 981430493X | 360 Pages | PDF (True) | 4 MB
The word barycentric is derived from the Greek word barys (heavy), and refers to center of gravity. Barycentric calculus is a method of treating geometry by considering a point as the center of gravity of certain other points to which weights are ascribed. Hence, in particular, barycentric calculus provides excellent insight into triangle centers. This unique book on barycentric calculus in Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry provides an introduction to the fascinating and beautiful subject of novel triangle centers in hyperbolic geometry along with analogies they share with familiar triangle centers in Euclidean geometry. As such, the book uncovers magnificent unifying notions that Euclidean and hyperbolic triangle centers share. In his earlier books the author adopted Cartesian coordinates, trigonometry and vector algebra for use in hyperbolic geometry that is fully analogous to the common use of Cartesian coordinates, trigonometry and vector algebra in Euclidean geometry. As a result, powerful tools that are commonly available in Euclidean geometry became available in hyperbolic geometry as well, enabling one to explore hyperbolic geometry in novel ways. In particular, this new book establishes hyperbolic barycentric coordinates that are used to determine various hyperbolic triangle centers just as Euclidean barycentric coordinates are commonly used to determine various Euclidean triangle centers. The hunt for Euclidean triangle centers is an old tradition in Euclidean geometry, resulting in a repertoire of more than three thousand triangle centers that are known by their barycentric coordinate representations. The aim of this book is to initiate a fully analogous hunt for hyperbolic triangle centers that will broaden the repertoire of hyperbolic triangle centers provided here.

Banking in the GCC: Structure, Performance and Transformation
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032217369 | 323 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
Similar to banking systems worldwide and driven by geopolitical pressures, the banking systems in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region face many significant challenges, especially in the wake of the 2007-09 credit crunch, the decline in oil prices in 2014, and the post-2011 unsettled political landscape in the wider Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. These challenges include deregulation concerning the establishment, operation, and supervision of credit institutions; the accelerating improvements in computer and telecommunication technologies and Fintech structure; and growing competition from global and domestic banks. Moreover, the future expansion within the GCC banking sector due to the national governments' demonstrated commitment to implementing economic diversification strategies which favour the development of non-government sectors will present further opportunities to the domestic financial institutions as well as place greater pressure on them to boost efficiency and stability, as well as improve their competitive stance

Autonomous Networks: Using AI to Advance Operations in SP and Enterprise Domains
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9780135473351 | 507 Pages | EPUB | 55 MB
As enterprise and service provider environments become increasingly complex, traditional reactive operations can no longer keep pace. This book explains how autonomous networking combines model-driven telemetry, distributed tracing, AIOps, automation frameworks, MLOps, and IT service management integration to create intelligent systems capable of sensing conditions, making decisions, and executing actions in real time.

Autonomous Embodied AI: Towards Self-evolving Intelligence
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819577497 | 285 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 25 MB
This book offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of embodied artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration with swarm manipulation, navigation, and tracking tasks. It uniquely bridges the gap in the existing literature by providing a thorough review of swarm-embodied AI, focusing on collaborative perception and decision-making methods. Its standout features include a systematic approach, detailed discussions on advanced directions, and a practical case study on multi-robot multi-target tracking.

Augmented Corporate Valuation: From Digital Networking to ESG Compliance
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032179025 | 1187 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 57 MB
Standard corporate evaluation approaches are improved by trendy innovation, especially as it concerns technological scale up and environmental issues such as digital networking or ESG compliance. Whereas traditional firm appraisal follows institutional guidelines and best practices, frontier research still must define the boundaries of these trendy issues, linking a strong theoretical background to practical advances that still need fine-tuning. This revised book, written by an academic who is also a senior consultant, combines theoretical rigor with practical insights, providing an innovative framework for researchers, evaluators, managers, and practitioners.
