    Survival City: Adventures among the Ruins of Atomic America (repost)

    Survival City: Adventures among the Ruins of Atomic America By Tom Vanderbilt
    English | 2010 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0226846946 | PDF | 5 MB

    On the road to Survival City, Tom Vanderbilt maps the visible and invisible legacies of the cold war, exhuming the blueprints for the apocalypse we once envisioned and chronicling a time when we all lived at ground zero. In this road trip among ruined missile silos, atomic storage bunkers, and secret test sites, a lost battleground emerges amid the architecture of the 1950s, accompanied by Walter Cotten’s stunning photographs. Survival City looks deep into the national soul, unearthing the dreams and fears that drove us during the latter half of the twentieth century.

    The Cаmbridge Introduction to Walter Benjamin (repost)

    David S. Ferris - The Cаmbridge Introduction to Walter Benjamin
    English | 2008-10-06 | ISBN: 0521864585, 0521683084 | PDF | 174 pages | 1.04 MB

    For students of modern criticism and theory, Walter Benjamin's writings have become essential reading. His analyses of photography, film, language, history, allegory, material culture, the poet Charles Baudelaire, and his vast examination of the social, political and historical significance of the Arcades of nineteenth-century Paris have left an enduring and important critical legacy. This volume examines in detail a substantial selection of his important critical writings on these topics from 1916 to 1940 and outlines his life in pre-war Germany, his association with the Frankfurt School, and the dissemination of his ideas and methodologies into a variety of academic disciplines since his death.

    Research Shortcuts (repost)

    Judi Kesselman-Turkel, Franklynn Peterson, "Research Shortcuts"
    English | 2003 | ISBN: 0299191648 | 136 pages | PDF | 18,9 MB

    There are proper ways to research a paper…and there are the ways most students do it: laboriously, tediously, and inefficiently. Here are the techniques and shortcuts that the pros use. They will enable students to find their way to the best resources for their own projects.
    From preparing the preliminary outline, work file, and bibiliography, Research Shortcuts proceeds to using the appropriate resource guides, as well as modern aids to research. It also discusses shortcuts that reach the experts: writing letters that get questions answered, and making face-to-face (or telephone) interviews pay off.
    A final section is devoted to using the research data: first drafts, choosing specific quotes wisely, paraphrasing, and final drafts.

    English Seigniorial Agriculture, 1250-1450 (repost)

    English Seigniorial Agriculture, 1250-1450 By Bruce M. S. Campbell
    English | 2006 | 548 Pages | ISBN: 0521026423 , 0521304121 | PDF | 15 MB

    Bruce Campbell's book is the first single-authored treatment of medieval English agriculture on a national scale. Methodologically innovative, it deals comprehensively with the cultivation carried out by or for lords on their demesne farms, for which the documentation is more detailed and abundant than for any other agricultural group either during the medieval period or later. A context is thereby assured for all future scholarship on the medieval and early agrarian economies. The book also makes a substantive contribution to ongoing historical debates.

    Bloodless Victories: The Rise and Fall of the Open Shop in the Philadelphia Metal Trades, 1890-1940 (repost)

    Bloodless Victories: The Rise and Fall of the Open Shop in the Philadelphia Metal Trades, 1890-1940 By Howell John Harris
    English | 2000 | 474 Pages | ISBN: 0521584353 , 0521028396 | PDF | 9 MB

    This book examines how a group of manufacturers of metal products in America's third largest city helped each other to meet the challenges of organized labor (and sometimes an interventionist state) in the half-century between the "second industrial revolution" and the Second World War. It analyzes labor issues by means of a careful local case study, but its conclusions about the interplay of labor, organized capital, law, and the state in determining the fate of workers' rights and employers' interests have broad relevance to the history and politics of twentieth-century industrial relations.

    The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008 by Paul Krugman (Repost)
    Publisher: W. W. Norton; First Edition (December 1, 2008) | ISBN: 0393071014 | Pages: 224 | PDF | 29.64 MB

    In 1999, in The Return of Depression Economics, Paul Krugman surveyed the economic crises that had swept across Asia and Latin America, and pointed out that those crises were a warning for all of us: like diseases that have become resistant to antibiotics, the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression were making a comeback. In the years that followed, as Wall Street boomed and financial wheeler-dealers made vast profits, the international crises of the 1990s faded from memory.

    Many of the great works of world literature are composed in metrical verse, that is, in lines which are measured and patterned.

This outstanding contribution to the study of meter is aimed both at students and scholars of literature and languages, as well as anyone interested in knowing how metrical verse is made.

    Mark W. McLeod, Nguyen Thi Dieu, "Culture and Customs of Vietnam"
    English | 2008 | ISBN: 0313304858 | 224 pages | PDF | 51,4 MB

    Vietnam is increasingly opening up to the West, and society is in flux between tradition and modernity, and capitalism and socialism. Americans have distanced themselves from the Vietnam War now, and Culture and Customs of Vietnam fills a need to learn about the country, which has also evolved. Readers will find that this is the only general book on Vietnamese culture in English written by specialists. McLeod and Nguyen, historians specializing in Vietnam engagingly show the various forces of Vietnamese culture in narrative chapters on the land, people, and language; history and institutions; thought and religion; literature; art and architecture; cuisine; family, marriage, gender, and youth culture; festivals and leisure activities, and performing arts.

    English | 2010 | ISBN: 052151343X | PDF | 460 pages | 3,1 MB

    Management practices and processes frequently differ across national and regional boundaries. What may be acceptable managerial behaviour in one culture may be counterproductive or even unacceptable in another. As managers increasingly find themselves working across cultures, the need to understand these differences has become increasingly important. This book examines why these differences exist and how global managers can develop strategies and tactics to deal with them.

    Sensual Encounters: Monastic Women and Spirituality in Medieval Germany
    English | ISBN: 0231142382 | edition 2009 | PDF | 208 pages | 1,2 mb

    Through the lens of sensorial experience, Erika Lauren Lindgren explores the spirituality of monastic women as reflected in their writings, liturgical texts, artwork, architecture, and archival documents. Specifically, she focuses on the Dominican nuns and lay-sisters of southern Germany in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, particularly the way in which these women controlled and interpreted their surroundings and incorporated them into their spiritual and devotional practices.

    Jesus instructed his followers to "love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:27-28). Not only has this theme long been among the Church's most oft-repeated messages, but in everything from sermons to articles in the Catholic press, it has been consistently emphasized that the commandment extends to all humanity.

    English | ISBN: 1441186808 | 2011 | PDF | 230 pages | 1,62 mb

    The essays assembled in this book subtly explore the phenomenological basis of Hannah Arendt's thought, demonstrating how concepts such as appearance, disclosure, world and individuation underlie her understanding of thinking and acting. In revealing both the richness of her political thought and the tensions inherent to it, these essays show why Arendt remains indispensable to 'think what we are doing' today. - Dr. Andrew Schaap, University of Exeter.

    Nach China? Dahin wollte natürlich niemand mit, auch Keith nicht, ein pathologischer Lügner, der seinen sonderbaren Großvater auf die Reise hätte begleiten sollen. Also fährt der Großvater alleine los, mit dem Auto, und schickt Postkarten aus dem Westerwald, die er mit “Grüße aus Schanghai” übermalt. Doch dann ist er plötzlich tot, und Keith, der sich versteckt, erfindet lange Briefe an die Geschwister, über China, Land und Leute: “vielleicht werde ich mich noch ein wenig umsehen. Es ist schließlich ein großes Land.” Tilman Rammstedt liest seinen Roman selbst, so sprühend komisch, dass man sich gerne belügen lässt.
