Free Download Stephen R. Mosley, "The Chimney of the World: A History of Smoke Pollution in Victorian and Edwardian Manchester"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 1874267499, 0415477670 | EPUB | pages: 250 | 3.2 mb
Air quality became a keenly contested issue in the world's first industrial city. The devastating costs of Manchester's steam-driven economic miracle included acid rain, loss of biological diversity, and adverse health impacts. Competing environmental discourses about smoke were used by contemporaries to rationalize, naturalize or criticize the dramatic changes wrought by air pollution in nineteenth-century Manchester. Mosley breaks new ground by seeking to understand working-class ideas about air pollution, as well as those of businessmen and middle-class reformers. 'The Chimney of the World' concludes by reflecting on the continuities between past and present attitudes towards air pollution.

Free Download Audrey Henshall, "The Chambered Tombs of the Isle of Man: A study by Audrey Henshall 1971-1978"
English | ISBN: 1784914681 | 2018 | 180 pages | PDF | 130 MB
This is the first book ever devoted to the chambered tombs of the Isle of Man and, though there are no more than nine surviving monuments, they are of considerable interest and importance because of the central location of the island in the north Irish Sea where cultural influences and traditions of tomb building are mixed - and no doubt populations too. These monuments, still impressive reminders of the past in our contemporary landscape, belong to the early 4th millennium BC when farming, one of the most significant movers of change in society, first came to the Isle of Man. These vast stone chambers speak of the power of ancestors, the continuity of family groups and the importance of the land and territory which sustained them. Work on this book was begun in the 1960s by Audrey Henshall, the foremost authority on these monuments in Britain. It has been edited and brought up to date for publication by Frances Lynch and Peter Davey and contains a comprehensive study of previous work on the tombs, new plans and commentary on each site, and also a review of the associated finds from excavation. Appendices provide the final reports on previously unpublished excavations at King Orry's Grave and Ballaharra.

Free Download Stephen M. Kosslyn, "The Case for Mental Imagery "
English | ISBN: 0195179080 | 2006 | 260 pages | PDF | 3 MB
When we try to remember whether we left a window open or closed, do we actually see the window in our mind? If we do, does this mental image play a role in how we think? For almost a century, scientists have debated whether mental images play a functional role in cognition. In The Case for Mental Imagery, Stephen Kosslyn, William Thompson, and Giorgio Ganis present a complete and unified argument that mental images do depict information, and that these depictions do play a functional role in human cognition. They outline a specific theory of how depictive representations are used in information processing, and show how these representations arise from neural processes. To support this theory, they seamlessly weave together conceptual analyses and the many varied empirical findings from cognitive psychology and neuroscience. In doing so, they present the conceptual grounds for positing this type of internal representation and summarize and refute arguments to the contrary. Their argument also serves as a historical review of the imagery debate from its earliest inception to its most recent phases, and provides ample evidence that significant progress has been made in our understanding of mental imagery. In illustrating how scientists think about one of the most difficult problems in psychology and neuroscience, this book goes beyond the debate to explore the nature of cognition and to draw out implications for the study of consciousness. Student and professional researchers in vision science, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience will find

Free Download Irfan Orga, "The Caravan Moves On"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0907871976 | PDF | pages: 173 | 10.6 mb
This book made Irfan Orga something of a celebrity when it was first published in the 1950s. It is about living with a nomadic people who have no sense of belonging to a nation or the world beyond their tribe. Orga journeys to the center of Turkey to stay with the Yuruk nomads in the High Taurus Mountains. There he learns their lore, listens to their legends, and lives to feel that heroes dead a thousand years and abducted princesses turned mad by grief are still palpably alive. Orga opens a world untouched by politics or the march of events. He reconnects us with a once-ubiquitous emotional landscape-a visceral place underpinned by elemental values.

Free Download The Capability Approach, Technology and Design by Ilse Oosterlaken, Jeroen Hoven
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 258 Pages | ISBN : 9400738781 | 2.8 MB
The capability approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen places human capabilities at the centre stage of discussions about justice, equality, development and the quality of life. It rejects too much emphasis on mere preference satisfaction or resource provision and highlights the importance of human agency and freedom. This approach has already significantly influenced different fields of application, such as economics and development studies. Only recently have scholars started to explore its relevance for and application to the area of technology and design, which can be crucial factors in the expansion of human capabilities. How does technology influence human capabilities? What difference could a capability approach make to policies and practices of applying ICT in development processes in the South? How can we criticize and improve the design of technology from the perspective of the capability approach?

Free Download Sir Julian Stafford Corbett, LLM., "The Campaign of Trafalgar - 1805. Vol. I."
English | 2012 | ASIN: B008FHEUN8 | EPUB | pages: 236 | 3.2 mb
Of the many campaigns in the long history of Britain, naval and otherwise, there have been few more momentous than the campaign in the Mediterranean in 1804-5 culminating in the battle of Trafalgar. They spawned a national hero in the figure of heroic lord Nelson, one-armed and blind in one eye, dying at the moment of his greatest victory over a more numerous enemy. However, the story of the battle, much less the campaign, was more complex than the story of one man, however great. It is this web of sailings, counter-sailings, orders, alliances, courage and genius that Corbett elucidates with his great naval knowledge and lucid text.
