Tim G. Parkin, "Old Age in the Roman World: A Cultural and Social History "
English | ISBN: 080187128X | 2003 | 520 pages | PDF | 23 MB
Classical authors such as Cicero and Plutarch would have us believe that the elderly were revered, active citizens of ancient Rome. But upon closer inspection, it appears that older people may not have enjoyed as respected or as powerful a place in Roman society as has been supposed.

In this highly original work, Tim Parkin considers the many issues related to aging and the aged in the classical Roman world. Drawing on both his expertise in demography and his knowledge of ancient history and literature, he coaxes new insights from a variety of sources, including legal documents on the "rules of age," representations of old age in classical literature, epigraphic evidence from tombstones, Greco-Roman medical texts, and papyri from Roman Egypt. Analyzing such diverse sources, he offers valuable new views of old age―not only of men in public life but of men and women in marriage, sexual relationships, and the family.

Once They Were Hats: In Search of the Mighty Beaver by Frances Backhouse
English | September 1st, 2018 | ISBN: 1770412077 | 272 pages | True EPUB | 16.10 MB
"Unexpectedly delightful reading-there is much to learn from the buck-toothed rodents of yore" (National Post).

Beavers, those icons of industriousness, have been gnawing down trees, building dams, shaping the land, and creating critical habitat in North America for at least a million years. Once one of the continent's most ubiquitous mammals, they ranged from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Rio Grande to the edge of the northern tundra. Wherever there was wood and water, there were beavers-sixty million, or more-and wherever there were beavers, there were intricate natural communities that depended on their activities. Then the European fur traders arrived.
Once They Were Hats examines humanity's fifteen-thousand-year relationship with Castor canadensis, and the beaver's even older relationship with North American landscapes and ecosystems. From the waterlogged environs of the Beaver Capital of Canada to the wilderness cabin that controversial conservationist Grey Owl shared with pet beavers; from a bustling workshop where craftsmen make beaver-felt cowboy hats using century-old tools to a tidal marsh where an almost-lost link between beavers and salmon was recently found, it's a journey of discovery to find out what happened after we nearly wiped this essential animal off the map, and how we can learn to live with beavers now that they're returning.
"Fascinating and smartly written." -The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

One Sinha Lifetime: Comedy, disaster and one man's quest for happiness by Paul Sinha
English | 20 Jun. 2024 | ISBN: 1529908531 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 0.7 MB
'That night, I'd survived my life flashing before me, with my dignity intact.

Yes, this chaotic life has always been a gamble.
... But what a gamble.'
Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, a quizzing mastermind and a happily-married husband. But for much of his life none of these seemed remotely imaginable.
As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn't quite fit. Who was he? An over-achieving schoolkid with the world's knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he never once craved. A young gay man yearning to breathe freely? Or was he yet another flawed human being on a self-destruct mission?
Amid life's mayhem, it was frequently Paul's love of facts in which he found solace, whether funding his lifestyle through quiz machines or simply trying to show off to his mates. Stumbling serendipitously into both a career in stand-up and the clandestine network of competitive quizzers introduced him to a new sense of purpose, a new identity, and, eventually, new love...
A hilarious and moving coming-of-age memoir of one man's search for fulfilment, One Sinha Lifetime is an unconventional odyssey through love, family, and the joy of general knowledge.

One Week to Change the World: An Oral History of the 1999 WTO Protests by DW Gibson
English | June 18, 2024 | ISBN: 1668033569 | 368 pages | PDF | 17 Mb
The definitive history of Seattle's 1999 World Trade Organization protests, featuring over 100 original interviews and timed to the event's twenty-fifth anniversary.

One week in late 1999, more than 50,000 people converged on Seattle. Their goal: to shut down the World Trade Organization conference and send a message that working-class people would not quietly accept the runaway economic globalization that threatened their livelihoods. Though their mission succeeded, it was not without blowback. Violent confrontations between police and protestors resulted in hundreds of arrests and millions of dollars in property damage. But the images of tear gas and smashed windows that flashed across TVs and newspapers were not an accurate representation of what actually happened that week.
In the oral history One Week to Change the World, award-winning journalist DW Gibson pieces together a complex and compelling account of what really went down in Seattle, immersing you in the angst that defined the end of a millennium, complete with fight clubs and Y2K doomsday scenarios. In more than 100 original interviews with protestors, police, politicians, anarchists, artists, activists, union members, and many others, Gibson reconstructs the events in gripping detail; documents its antecedents and aftermath; and shows how so many of its themes remain just as pressing today, including the vitalness and difficulty of grassroots activism, the aspirations and limitations of globalization, the militarization of policing, the sensationalism of the media, and the undeniable power of the people.
Timed to the 25th anniversary of the protests, this book is a page-turning drama, an essential history, and a practical handbook for how to make one's voice heard.

Optimal: How to Sustain Personal and Organizational Excellence Every Day by Daniel Goleman, Cary Cherniss
English | January 9, 2024 | ISBN: 0063279762 | 272 pages | PDF | 2.05 Mb
In his groundbreaking #1 bestseller Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman revolutionized how we think about intelligence. Now, he reveals practical methods for using these inner resources to more readily enter an optimal state of high performance and satisfaction while avoiding burnout.

There are moments when we achieve peak performance: An athlete plays a perfect game; a business has a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But these moments are often elusive, and for every amazing day, we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying days. Fulfillment doesn't come from isolated peak experiences, but rather from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, while avoiding burnout and maintaining balance?
In Optimal, Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a great day, any day. They explain how to set a realistic, attainable goal of feeling satisfied that you've had a productive day - to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on research of how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they sketch what an optimal state feels like, and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance.
Optimal is the culmination of decades of scientific discoveries bearing on emotional intelligence. Enhanced emotional intelligence pays off in improved engagement, productivity, and more satisfying days. In this book, you'll find the keys to competence in emotional intelligence, and practical methods for applying this skill set more readily. It will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance.

Optimization of Dynamical Systems with Impulse Controls and Shocks by Boris Miller , Evgeny Rubinovich
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 632 Pages | ISBN : 303164123X | 67.6 MB
This text explores the state-of-the-art in the rapidly developing theory of impulse control and introduces the theory of singular space-time transformations, a new method for studying shock mechanical systems. Two approaches in the theory of impulse control are presented: The first, more traditional approach defines the impulsive action as a discontinuity of phase coordinates depending on the current time, the state preceding the action, and its magnitude. The second requires the use of modern methods for describing dynamical systems - differential equations with measures. The impulse is treated as an idealization of a very short action of high magnitude, which produces an almost abrupt change of phase coordinates. The relation between these two approaches is also discussed, and several applications, both traditional and emerging, are considered.

This text is intended for graduate students and researchers in control engineering and optimal control theory for dynamical systems. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the theory of ODEs, optimal control, and functional analysis, though an appendix is included that covers many of the necessary mathematical concepts.

Optionen in Lebensversicherungsprodukten: Bedeutung, Bewertung und Innovation By Klaus Math (auth.)
2002 | 215 Pages | ISBN: 3824490862 | PDF | 5 MB
Vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Individualisierungstendenzen der Nachfrage werden die Flexibilisierung von Versicherungsprodukten, die Möglichkeit von Vertragsänderungen und die Ausübung von derzeit kaum wahrgenommenen Wahlrechten immer wichtiger. Klaus Math untersucht Optionen in Produkten bzw. Verträgen des deutschen Lebensversicherungsmarktes und bewertet sie. Besonderen Wert legt er dabei auf das Risikopotenzial für das Versicherungsunternehmen. Er entwickelt innovative Ansätze, wie Optionen als Träger von Vertragsflexibilität den Bedürfnissen der Versicherungskunden entgegenkommen und wie sie als Instrument außergewöhnlicher Risikoübernahme durch den Versicherer zu Wettbewerbsvorteilen führen können. Abschließend stellt der Autor ein Bewertungsmodell für die Option des Versicherungsunternehmens auf Senkung der Gewinnbeteiligung vor.

Organisation und Geschlecht: Strukturelle Bindungen und kontingente Kopplungen By Sylvia Marlene Wilz (auth.)
2002 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 3810032115 | PDF | 7 MB
Ziel der Reihe ,Geschlecht und Gesellschaft' ist es, herausragende wissenschaftliche Beiträge und Untersuchungen zu publizieren, in denen die Impulse der Frauenforschung für die Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften dokumentiert werden. In diesem Band: Im Zentrum des Buches steht die Frage danach, ob ein systematischer Zusammenhang zwischen Organisation und Geschlecht besteht und, wenn ja, wie er hergestellt wird. Dazu wird zunächst die theoretische Spannbreite zwischen den Polen ,Organisationen sind geschlechtsneutral' und ,Organisationen sind strukturell gendered' differenziert aufgefächert und kritisch diskutiert. Die detaillierte Analyse der Reorganisation in einem Versicherungsunternehmen zeigt dann: In Arbeitspraxen und -normen spielt Geschlecht keine systematische Rolle, in der Legitimation von Personalentscheidungen kann Geschlecht relevant gemacht werden, muss aber nicht. Geschlecht wird entsprechend einerseits als Strukturelement, andererseits als Element der ,kontingenten Kopplung' von vergeschlechtlichten und nicht vergeschlechtlichten Elementen organisatorischer Prozesse verstanden; das bedeutet, dass sowohl die Annahme der Irrelevanz als auch die der Omnipräsenz und Omnirelevanz von Geschlecht in Organisationen in Frage gestellt wird. In den Mittelpunkt der Analyse rücken so situative Relevanzen, Muster von Regeln, Normen und Interpretationen und die Funktion von Geschlechterdifferenzen, Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen und soziale Ordnung herzustellen.

Organisationale Wandelfähigkeit: Eine konstruktivistische Sichtweise By Stefan Kaduk (auth.)
2002 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 3824406535 | PDF | 5 MB
Ausgehend von der Erkenntnis, dass ein nachhaltiger Wandel in Organisationen nicht auf der strukturell-instrumentellen Ebene erreicht werden kann, ist ein sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Ansatz zum zweckmäßigen Verständnis von Wandelprozessen nahe liegend. Auf der Grundlage der konstruktivistischen Epistemologie referiert Stefan Kaduk zwei Ansätze, die die Theorien komplexer sozialer Systeme auf den Wandel in Organisationen beziehen. Hieraus leitet er relevante Kriterien der Wandelfähigkeit ab, die er zur Interpretation und Beurteilung der Organisations- und Führungsdynamik in vier Unternehmen der Elektrizitätswirtschaft einsetzt. Damit schlüsselt er den Zusammenhang zwischen Organisations- und Selbstverständnissen einerseits und der spezifischen Wandeldynamik andererseits auf und gibt Hinweise zur Initiierung von notwendigen Reflexionsprozessen.

Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need by Michael P. Hoffmann, Carrie Koplinka-Loehr, Danielle L. Eiseman
English | April 15th, 2021 | ISBN: 1501754629 | 264 pages | True EPUB | 83.75 MB
Our Changing Menu helps us understand how to think about food, rather than what to think. The diversity of the co-authors' experiences is woven together to create awareness and help us get involved in improving our diets, while reducing food waste and food's impacts on climate change and the planet.- Jason Clay, Senior Vice President, Markets, World Wildlife Fund

Our Changing Menu unpacks the increasingly complex relationships between food and climate change. Whether you're a chef, baker, distiller, restaurateur, or someone who simply enjoys a good pizza or drink, it's time to come to terms with how climate change is affecting our diverse and interwoven food system.
Michael P. Hoffmann, Carrie Koplinka-Loehr, and Danielle L. Eiseman offer an eye-opening journey through a complete menu of before-dinner drinks and salads; main courses and sides; and coffee and dessert. Along the way they examine the escalating changes occurring to the flavors of spices and teas, the yields of wheat, the vitamins in rice, and the price of vanilla. Their story is rounded out with a primer on the global food system, the causes and impacts of climate change, and what we can all do.
Our Changing Menu is a celebration of food and a call to action-encouraging readers to join with others from the common ground of food to help tackle the greatest challenge of our time.

Our Hormones, Our Health: how to understand your hormones and transform your life by Susanne Esche-Belke, Suzann Kirschner-Brouns
English | March 2nd, 2021 | ISBN: 1913348393 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 0.74 MB
A handbook for how we can use the power of our hormones to master any stage of life.

Joint pain, weight gain, migraines, acne, sleepless nights, loss of libido - all of these and more can be caused by hormone imbalances. Our health is impacted by our hormones all the way through our lives. So why do we often assume they're mainly 'a menopause thing', and wait until hot flushes arrive before we take them seriously? Many women who experience hormone-related symptoms find that they aren't acknowledged or treated until menopause hits, despite the impact they can have years before this, on all aspects of our lives.
With advances in medical science, however, effective new treatment options are available, including modern hormone replacement therapy (HRT), diet, and exercise. So why don't more of us know that help is at hand? Why are we still being told that we have to put up with these conditions?
Our Hormones, Our Health is written by two doctors who draw on their experience as practitioners, and as women. With the aid of pioneering research from epigenetics, stress medicine, nutritional medicine, and modern HRT, they show us how we can live with health and happiness - no matter what our age.

Pacific: Silicon Chips and Surfboards, Coral Reefs and Atom Bombs, Brutal Dictators, Fading Empires, and the Coming Collision of the World's Superpowers by Simon Winchester
English | October 27, 2015 | ISBN: 0062315412, 006244073X, 0062421638 | True EPUB | 512 pages | 4.3 MB
Bestselling author Simon Winchester offers an enthralling biography of the Pacific Ocean and its role in the modern world, exploring our relationship with this imposing force of nature.

As the Mediterranean shaped the classical world, and the Atlantic connected Europe to the New World, the Pacific Ocean defines our tomorrow. With China on the rise, so, too, are the American cities of the West coast, including Seattle, San Francisco, and the long cluster of towns down the Silicon Valley.
Today, the Pacific is ascendant. Its geological history has long transformed us-tremendous earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis-but its human history, from a Western perspective, is quite young, beginning with Magellan's sixteenth-century circumnavigation. It is a natural wonder whose most fascinating history is currently being made.
In telling the story of the Pacific, Simon Winchester takes us from the Bering Strait to Cape Horn, the Yangtze River to the Panama Canal, and to the many small islands and archipelagos that lie in between. He observes the fall of a dictator in Manila, visits aboriginals in northern Queensland, and is jailed in Tierra del Fuego, the land at the end of the world. His journey encompasses a trip down the Alaska Highway, a stop at the isolated Pitcairn Islands, a trek across South Korea and a glimpse of its mysterious northern neighbor.
Winchester's personal experience is vast and his storytelling second to none. And his historical understanding of the region is formidable, making Pacific a paean to this magnificent sea of beauty, myth, and imagination that is transforming our lives.

Painting with Light by John Alton
English | February 5, 2013 | ISBN: 0520275845 | True EPUB | 248 pages | 31.2 MB
Few cinematographers have had as decisive an impact on the cinematic medium as John Alton. Best known for his highly stylized film noir classics T-Men, He Walked by Night, and The Big Combo, Alton earned a reputation during the 1940s and 1950s as one of Hollywood's consummate craftsmen through his visual signature of crisp shadows and sculpted beams of light.

No less renowned for his virtuoso color cinematography and deft appropriation of widescreen and Technicolor, he earned an Academy Award in 1951 for his work on the musical An American in Paris. First published in 1949, Painting With Light remains one of the few truly canonical statements on the art of motion picture photography, an unrivaled historical document on the workings of postwar American cinema.
In simple, non-technical language, Alton explains the job of the cinematographer and explores how lighting, camera techniques, and choice of locations determine the visual mood of film. Todd McCarthy's introduction provides an overview of Alton's biography and career and explores the influence of his work on contemporary cinematography and the foreword, written expressly for this edition by award-winning cinematographer John Bailey, explores Alton's often contentious relationships with colleagues, the American Society of Cinematographers, and the movie industry itself.

Steven Collins, "Pali Grammar for Students"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 9749511131 | PDF | pages: 206 | 91.1 mb
This book is intended for modern students, inside or outside the classroom, as a work of reference rather than a "teach yourself" textbook. It presents an introductory sketch of Pali using both European and South Asian grammatical categories. In English-language works, Pali is usually presented in the traditional terms of English grammar, derived from the classical tradition, with which many modern students are unfamiliar. This work discusses and reflects upon those categories, and has an appendix devoted to them. It also introduces the main categories of traditional Sanskrit and Pali grammar, drawing on, in particular, the medieval Pali text Saddaniti, by Aggavamsa. Each grammatical form is illustrated by examples taken from Pali texts, mostly canonical. Although some previous knowledge of Sanskrit would be helpful, the book can also be used by those without previous linguistic training. A bibliographical appendix refers to other, complementary resources.

English | 2008 | ISBN: 1412807050, 113851294X | PDF | pages: 261 | 2.0 mb
The Papuan conflict has been on the international radar screen since Indonesia became an independent state in 1945. Since the surrender of the territory of Papua to Indonesia in 1962, a low-intensity military conflict has been building. Most Papuans believed that their right to self-determination was sacrificed on the altar of geopolitics. Later, when East Timor seceded peacefully from Indonesia, Papuans expected the same right. When this did not happen, the conflict intensified. In this pivotal work, Bilveer Singh examines the history of the Papuan struggle, and approaches to conflict resolution through the framework of its geopolitical implications. Asserting that the Papuans were treated unjustly by Indonesia and the international community, it is not surprising that many have come down squarely on the side of Papuan independence as a way out of the imbroglio.While to some extent the Papuan's case cannot be denied, definite political and strategic realities should not be ignored. Unfortunately for the Papuans, their territory has immense geopolitical, geostrategic, and economic significance-not only for Indonesia, but also for others such as the United States, China, Australia, and a number of European countries. Papua is wealthy, under-populated and backward in terms of human resource development. Its future as a distinct entity is in real danger as the Papuans are becoming the minority in their own homeland. Due to the asymmetry of power, the Papuans' struggle has not made a breakthrough that would force Indonesia to rethink the future of the territory in any fundamental way.In order to unravel the dynamics involving Papuan separatism, this study describes the Papuan political landscape. Singh explains what makes Papua unique, and how its makeup has affected the territory's political dynamics. He analyzes the emergence of Papua as a geopolitical trophy, calling into question the degree to which Papuan nationalism has crystallized. Finally, he questions whether Papua is emerging as a regional flashpoint, and, in view of its geopolitical importance, the various options available. Papua: Geopolitics and the Quest for Nationhood will be of interest to scholars of international relations, comparative politics of Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific, and policymaking.
