He worked with - and relaxed with - scientific giants of that time such as Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, Stan Ulam, John von Neumann, and John Wheeler, and here offers illuminating insights into the personalities, the strengths, and the quirks of these men. Well known for his ability to explain physics to nonspecialists, Ford also brings to life the physics of fission and fusion and provides a brief history of nuclear science from the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 to the 10 megaton explosion of "Mike" that obliterated a Pacific Island in 1952. ![]() English | ASIN: B09TV8ZVB6 | 2022 | 3 hours and 35 minutes |MP3 | M4B | 116 MB In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an author's way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as "navel-gazing" - or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? ![]() English | 2016 | ASIN: B01M9GHYVR | |MP3 | M4B | 13h 43m | 1131.4 MB Based on Mark McGregor's 10 Principles of Leadership and Life, Being on Mission tells the story of Michael Weber, the typical, overworked manager, struck down in both his personal and professional life until he arrives at an all-time low.

Thereby, Michael ultimately alters the way he approaches his work, prioritizes the things that really matter, and begins to lead a more meaningful and purposeful life.

The author reports on an exploratory study on translation graduates with particular attention to the effects of metacognitive awareness on their professional development. The data collected show that, despite the growing demand on translation services and advancement of translation technology, there are still a great number of translation graduates who decide not to become professional translators. The findings show a number of reasons why they choose different career paths and discuss the correlations between their self-concept and their professional development, as reflected in their academic performance, career choice, career paths, job satisfaction and perceived success. The book will appeal to teachers, trainers and academics in the field of translation studies, and more specifically translation as a profession and translator competence. ![]() Fintan O'Toole, "We Don't Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland" English | ISBN: 1631496530 | 2022 | EPUB | 624 pages | 16 MB Winner * 2021 An Post Irish Book Award ― Nonfiction Book of the Year * from the judges: "The most remarkable Irish nonfiction book I've read in the last 10 years"; "[A] book for the ages." ![]() English | 2022 | ISBN: 1646220854 | 192 pages | True EPUB | 1.07 MB Memoir meets craft masterclass in this "daring, honest, psychologically insightful" exploration of how we think and write about intimate experiences-"a must read for anybody shoving a pen across paper or staring into a screen or a past" (Mary Karr) In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. ![]() Yasir Suleiman, "Being Palestinian: Personal Reflections on Palestinian Identity in the Diaspora" English | ISBN: 0748634029 | 2016 | 384 pages | PDF | 6 MB What does it means to be Palestinian in the diaspora?This collection of 100 personal reflections on being Palestinian is the first book of its kind.

Wehmeyer, "The Positive Psychology of Personal Factors: Implications for Understanding Disability" English | ISBN: 1793634653 | 2022 | 296 pages | PDF | 2 MB Historically, interventions designed to impact the lives of disabled people were predicated upon deficits-based models of disability. This began to change with the introduction of World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, particularly the International Classification of Function (ICF), that emphasized that disability could only be understood in the context of interactions among health, environmental factors, and personal factors and by examining the impact of such factors on a person's activities and participation. The ICF identified personal factors as among the elements of a social-ecological model of disability but did not provide an extensive taxonomy of what constitutes such factors. |
