Cold Rush: Critical Assemblage Analysis of a Heating Arctic
by Sari Pietikäinen
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031639944 | 249 Pages | True PDF | 14 MB

This book is an original study of Cold Rush, an accelerated race for the extraction and protection of Arctic natural resources. The Northernmost reach of the planet is caught up in the double developments of two unfinished forces - rapidly progressing climate change and global economic investment - working simultaneously in tension and synergy. Neither process is linear or complete, but both are contradictory and open-ended. This book traces the multiplicity of Cold Rush in the Finnish Arctic, a high-stakes ecological, economic, and political hotspot. It is a heterogeneous space, understood as indigenous land within local indigenous Sámi people politics, the last frontier from a colonial perspective, and a periphery under the modernist nation-state regime. It is now transforming into an economic hub under global capitalism, intensifying climate change and unforeseen geo-political changes. Based on six years of ethnography, the book shows how people struggle, strategize, and profit from this ongoing, complex, and multidirectional change. The author offers a new theoretical approach called critical assemblage analysis, which provides an alternative way of exploring the dynamics between language and society by examining the interaction between material, discursive, and affective dimensions of Cold Rush. The approach builds on previous work at the intersection of critical discourse analysis, critical sociolinguistics, nexus analysis and ethnography, but expands toward works by philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. This book will be of interest to researchers on language, discourse, and sociolinguistics interested in engaging with social critique embedded in global capitalism and accelerating climate change; as well as researchers in the social and human sciences and natural sciences, who are increasingly aware of the fact that the theoretical and analytical move beyond the traditional dichotomies like language/society, nature/human and micro/macro is central to understanding today´s complex, intertwined social, political, economic and ecological processes.

Derek Yates, "Communication Design: Insights from the Creative Industries "
English | ISBN: 1472534409 | 2015 | 208 pages | PDF | 23 MB
The success of a piece of communication has always been dependent on the connection between content, form, audience and context - what the message is, who it's aimed at, what it looks like, and how and where it's communicated. In recent years the balance between these elements has shifted.

This book bridges the gap between education and emerging practices to provide students and practitioners with the information they need to understand the new skillsets required to succeed in this changing communication environment. Organized into themes of brand, experience, conversation, participation, navigation, advocacy and critique, it explores the core ideas shaping contemporary practice. Alongside case studies of game changing projects, it uses analysis of historical context and interviews with key thinkers and practitioners to provide a relevant and contemporary guide to the creative employment landscape.

Sue Blackhall, Nigel Blundell, "Crafty Crooks and Conmen"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1845630777 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 3.5 mb
They're crafty and cunning every one of them a conman who would relieve you of your hard-earned cash without a qualm. And yet what sets apart the crooks who fill the pages of this book is the manner of their crimes. It is not so much what they do but the style in which they do it that makes them memorable. Their exploits are, of course, reprehensible. But while it would it be utterly wrong to condone their criminal artifice, it is near-impossible to not to admire their ingenuity. If only the conmen whose crimes are catalogued here had turned their energy and expertise to honest enterprise, most of them would have been rich and famous. In the event, most ended up outcast and infamous.

Like Victor Lustig, the 'Bouncing Czech', who was arguably the greatest conmen of the past century. Having sold the Eiffel Tower (twice) and gone on the run with the proceeds, he should have retired rich. Instead he carried on duping people and died in jail. Or the philandering politician who threw away a glittering career for greed and the love of a beautiful woman. Or the 'friend of the stars' who infiltrated a royal castle. Or the phony 'spy' who enslaved his gullible victims. Or the fake Scots 'laird' who operated from the heart of Scotland Yard.
The confidence tricksters in this book are a disparate a bunch of characters but they have one thing in common their exploits are remembered long after their more virtuous victims are forgotten!

Credit Crises: The Role of Excess Capital by Bruce G Stevenson
English | January 27, 2024 | ISBN: 166294196X | 460 pages | PDF | 11 Mb
Credit crises are catastrophic events in which banks and lenders suffer extreme losses when loans and other credit instruments default on a large scale and cause banks to fail in extraordinary numbers. Massive loss of economic value ensues, threatening the viability of national economies and the global financial system.

The most recent credit crises, the 2007 Subprime Mortgage Crisis and 2007-2009 Great Recession, have striking parallels to the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression. In both periods, rapid increases in the value of residential real estate fueled speculation in the housing and equity markets, and when the real estate bubbles burst, massive recessions and unemployment followed. In the eighty years between these catastrophes, several other credit crises occurred including a real estate investment trust crisis in the mid-1970s and a commercial real estate crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Credit Crises: The Role of Excess Capital provides the first definitive explanation for these repetitive catastrophes: the Excess Capital Hypothesis (ECH). Written for bankers, bank regulators, finance professionals, and policymakers, Credit Crises provides a detailed explanation of how excess capital has been the driver of past credit crises. The ECH is the definitive roadmap for mitigating credit crises, and Credit Crises offers recommendations to bankers, bank regulators, and policymakers on how to prevent and lessen future crises.

John Fisher, "Curzon and British Imperialism in the Middle East, 1916-1919"
English | 1999 | ISBN: 0714648752, 0714644293 | EPUB | pages: 380 | 3.0 mb
John Fisher explores the acquisitive thinking which, from the autumn of 1914, drove the Mesopotamian Expedition, and examines the political issues, international and imperial, delegated to a War Cabinet committee under Lord Curzon. The motives of Curzon and others in attempting to obtain a privileged political position in the Hejaz are studied in the context of inter-Allied suspicions and Turkish intrigues in the Arabian Peninsula. This is a penetrating study of war imperialism, when statesmen contemplated strong measures of control in several areas of the Middle East.

Joy Stephens Pohl, "Daniel O My!: Lions and Dragons and Bulls"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1644680815 | EPUB | pages: 100 | 3.0 mb
Daniel O My! Lions and Dragons and Bulls is the result of years of Sunday School and Bible study.With the encouragement of women that in reality meet more for congregational caretaking and fellowship than for austere academics, I realized that the book of Daniel could be used to both transport people back in time and yet simplify the Old Testament history. The childhood favorite stories of the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall, and the lion's den can be used to search out the history and living conditions of the Jews, Babylonians, and Persians of Daniel's time.Daniel O My! is not for children. Yes, Daniel prays and has faith in God. That remains the sure foundation. However, the book explores the political machinations of the empires of an era when harems and pagan cults had great influence in those empires. The prerogative of royalty to live differently from commoners explored in the book of Daniel is a story that was told through the King James Version of the Bible by nobility in similar situations 1,500 years later under King James himself.Daniel O My! presents a way to move forward in Bible study that can be used to include differing opinions without the polarization into hostile camps that has been too much in evidence in public discourse for too many years. The book models the lessons of most Sunday School it is the relationships and not the absolutes that matter most.

Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back by Catherine Shanahan MD
English | June 11, 2024 | ISBN: 0306832399 | 416 pages | PDF | 13 Mb
The New York Times bestselling author of Deep Nutrition explains how eight common seed oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers alike, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation.

Did you know that consuming a large serving of french fries-cooked in vegetable oil-delivers the toxicity of smoking 24 cigarettes?
Cornell-trained biochemist turned family physician Dr. Cate Shanahan introduces us to well-respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on our bodies' cells by depleting antioxidants and promoting free radical toxicity.
Their many effects include:Uncontrollable hunger, so we need drugs to maintain our weightInflammatory fat buildup under our skin and within our internal organs and arteriesBlood sugar swings that promote bad moods and antisocial behaviorDisrupted brain energy, concentration problems, and mental illnessesIntracellular oxidative stress that promotes cancer developmentGut inflammation, bloating, heartburn, and the runsAmericans were enticed into buying these oils based on their cholesterol-lowering property, but the idea that cholesterol-lowering is beneficial was pushed on us without solid evidence to support it. In Dark Calories, Dr. Cate reveals the financial entanglements between industry and underhanded academics who created and sustain our 1950s-era, arbitrary dietary rules.
As a solution, she proposes a clear, no-nonsense plan that aligns with our genetic needs and nature's laws. Thankfully, recovering our health is simplified by the fact that nutrients that treat one condition also tend to treat all the rest. As an added bonus, we alsorevive our sense of taste so that our cravings shift to wholesome, nourishing foods instead.

Andrew Richardson, "Data-driven Graphic Design: Creative Coding for Visual Communication "
English | ISBN: 1472578309 | 2016 | 196 pages | PDF | 21 MB
Digital technology has not only revolutionized the way designers work, but also the kinds of designs they produce. The development of the computer as a design environment has encouraged a new breed of digital designer; keen to explore the unique creative potential of the computer as an input/output device.

Data-driven Graphic Design introduces the creative potential of computational data and how it can be used to inform and create everything from typography, print and moving graphics to interactive design and physical installations. Using code as a creative environment allows designers to step outside the boundaries of commercial software tools, and create a set of unique, digitally informed pieces of work. The use of code offers a new way of thinking about and creating design for the digital environment.
Each chapter outlines key concepts and techniques, before exploring a range of innovative projects through case studies and interviews with the artists and designers who created them. These provide an inspirational, real-world context for every technique. Finally each chapter concludes with a Code section, guiding you through the process of experimenting with each technique yourself (with sample projects and code examples using the popular Processing language supplied online to get you started).

Andrew Mein, Claudia V. Camp, "Death and Survival in the Book of Job: Desymbolization and Traumatic Experience"
English | 2006 | pages: 213 | ISBN: 0567026922 | PDF | 12,9 mb
The Book of Job functions as literature of survival where the main character, Job, deals with the trauma of suffering, attempts to come to terms with a collapsed moral and theological world, and eventually re-connects the broken pieces of his world into a new moral universe, which explains and contains the trauma of his recent experiences and renders his life meaningful again. The key is Job's death imagery. In fact, with its depiction of death in the prose tale and its frequent discussions of death in the poetic sections, Job may be the most death-oriented book in the bible. In particular, Job, in his speeches, articulates his experience of suffering as the experience of death. To help understand this focus on death in Job we turn to the psychohistorian, Robert Lifton, who investigates the effects on the human psyche of various traumatic experiences (wars, natural disasters, etc). According to Lifton, survivors of disaster often sense that their world has "collapsed" and they engage in a struggle to go on living. Part of this struggle involves finding meaning in death and locating death's place in the continuity of life. Like many such survivors, Job's understanding of death is a flashpoint indicating his bewilderment (or "desymbolization") in the early portions of his speeches, and then, later on, his arrival at what Lifton calls "resymbolization," the reconfiguration of a world that can account for disaster and render death - and life - meaningful again.

West C Gilbreath, "Death on the Gallows: The Encyclopedia of Legal Hangings in Texas"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1681790521, 1681790513 | EPUB | pages: 416 | 3.8 mb
The most comprehensive work ever done on legal executions by hanging in Texas. Arranged by counties, this book documents 467 executions in Texas, many that have been forgotten through the years. Such as:

Decapitated: Jack Fields-Wharton County, and Charles Myers- Tarrant County were both completely decapitated and Clemente Apolinar-Bexar County was almost decapitated.
Had to be hanged twice: Joseph Brewster-El Paso and Jack Williams-Wharton County, and Jack Post of Young County had to be hanged twice at their executions.
Famous Hanging: Joshua Bowen-Gonzales County was the brother-in-law of John Wesley Hardin and declared up to his death that the witness identified him wrong, and that it was John Wesley Hardin who committed the murder.
Mass Hanging: In 1917, thirteen African American soldiers from the 24th Infantry Division were hanged in Bexar County for murder and mutiny, when they took part in the Houston riot on August 23, 1917.
The racial disparity of those executed in Texas is also of note when you consider 280 of those executed out of the 467, or 60% were African American, during a time when African Americans made up only about 22% of the population in all of Texas.
Thoroughly researched by West Gilbreath, a career law enforcement officer, this book is a must for any Texas history buff, as well as school and public libraries.

Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America by Paola Ramos
English | September 24, 2024 | ISBN: 0593701364 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 1.8 MB
An award-winning journalist's deeply reported exploration of how race, identity and political trauma have influenced the rise in far-right sentiment among Latinos, and how this group can shape American politics

Democrats have historically assumed they can rely on the Latino vote, but recent elections have called that loyalty into question. In fact, despite his vociferous anti-immigrant rhetoric and disastrous border policies, Trump won a higher percentage of the Latino vote in 2020 than he did in 2016. Now, journalist Paola Ramos pulls back the curtain on these voters, traveling around the country to uncover what motivates them to vote for and support issues that seem so at odds with their self-interest.
From coast to coast, cities to rural towns, Defectors introduces readers to underdog GOP candidates, January 6th insurrectionists, Evangelical pastors and culture war crusaders, aiming to identify the influences at the heart of this rightward shift. Through their stories, Ramos shows how tribalism, traditionalism, and political trauma within the Latino community has been weaponized to radicalize and convert voters who, like many of their white counterparts, are fearful of losing their place in American society.
We meet Monica de la Cruz, a Republican congresswoman from the Rio Grande Valley who won on a platform centered on finishing "what Donald Trump started" and pushing the Great Replacement Theory; David Ortiz, a Mexican man who refers to himself as a Spaniard and opposed the removal of a statue of a Spanish conquistador in New Mexico; Luis Cabrera, an evangelical pastor pushing to "Make America Godly Again;" Anthony Aguero, an independent journalist turned border vigilante; and countless other individuals and communities that make up the rising conservative Latino population. Cross-cultural and assiduously reported, Defectors highlights how one of America's most powerful and misunderstood electorates may come to define the future of American politics.

Elizabeth Lutes Hillman, "Defending America: Military Culture and the Cold War Court-Martial"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0691118043 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 2.9 mb
From going AWOL to collaborating with communists, assaulting fellow servicemen to marrying without permission, military crime during the Cold War offers a telling glimpse into a military undergoing a demographic and legal transformation. The post-World War II American military, newly permanent, populated by draftees as well as volunteers, and asked to fight communism around the world, was also the subject of a major criminal justice reform. By examining the Cold War court-martial, Defending America opens a new window on conflicts that divided America at the time, such as the competing demands of work and family and the tension between individual rights and social conformity.

Using military justice records, Elizabeth Lutes Hillman demonstrates the criminal consequences of the military's violent mission, ideological goals, fear of homosexuality, and attitude toward racial, gender, and class difference. The records also show that only the most inept, unfortunate, and impolitic of misbehaving service members were likely to be prosecuted. Young, poor, low-ranking, and nonwhite servicemen bore a disproportionate burden in the military's enforcement of crime, and gay men and lesbians paid the price for the armed forces' official hostility toward homosexuality. While the U.S. military fought to defend the Constitution, the Cold War court-martial punished those who wavered from accepted political convictions, sexual behavior, and social conventions, threatening the very rights of due process and free expression the Constitution promised.

Debby Chan, "Defying Beijing: Societal Resistance to the Belt and Road in Myanmar"
English | ISBN: 1760466352 | 2024 | 298 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 4 MB
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aims to construct a Sino-centric transcontinental infrastructure network in Asia, Europe, Africa and beyond. Within this initiative, the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) is a vital strategic component. The shortcut to the Indian Ocean seeks to improve China's energy security and facilitate trade. Defying Beijing: Societal Resistance to the Belt and Road in Myanmar shows how Myanmar was able to capitalise on Chinese BRI ambitions to achieve its own desired outcomes during the country's political liberalisation in the 2010s. Belying the asymmetrical relationship between these two nations, the Myitsone hydropower dam was suspended, the Letpadaung copper mine's contract was renegotiated, and the Kyaukphyu deep seaport project was downsized. China offered concessions to Myanmar instead of pressuring it to honour those signed agreements. Contrasting a common proposition that US-Myanmar rapprochement disrupted the BRI projects in Myanmar,

Richard Killblane, "Delivering Victory: The History of U.S. Military Transportation"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1787546047 | EPUB | pages: 384 | 2.9 mb
While there are many books on logistics which understand the concept of service and supply, none understand the important role of transportation in synchronizing logistics. Delivering Victory: The History of U.S. Military Transportation covers the evolution of military transportation in the U.S. Armed Forces from the Spanish American War until the recent humanitarian missions to Haiti and West Africa to show how military transportation both synchronizes and creates logistics operations and therefore shapes the conduct of contingency and combat operations.

Based on a rich selection of both primary and secondary sources, this book explores how the role of military transportation in the U.S has evolved, from disparate organizations to a synchronized logistics approach which connects dots from end to end, from fort and factory, and to the foxhole. Chronicling the birth of a separate branch of the Army during the Second World War and the creation of a strategic logistics technique headed by a single organization, the author demonstrates how transportation created logistics operations due to its inherent moving nature which allowed military operations to change in scale and magnitude. To this end, this book demonstrates how the ability to deploy and sustain mass around the globe became the hallmark of American military transportation capability, and an essential part of delivering victory.
