Reconstructing a Maritime Past
by Matthew Harpster
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367635291 | 251 Pages | True PDF | 21 MB

Reconstructing a Maritime Past argues that rather than applying geo-ethnic labels to shipwrecks to describe "Greek" or "Roman" seafaring, a more intriguing alternative emphasizes a maritime culture's valorization of the Mediterranean Sea. Doing so creates new questions and research agendas to understand the past human relationship with the sea.
This study makes this argument in three sections. Chapters 1 and 2, contrasting intellectual histories of maritime archaeological interpretive approaches common in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, propose that the former perspective - which embodies contemporary and fluid perceptions of culture - is a better theoretical framework for future research. Chapters 3-5 re-interpret the corpus of submerged sites in the Mediterranean Sea with this approach, arguing that this dataset does not represent "Phoenician," "Muslim," or "Byzantine" seafaring, but the practices of a maritime culture. Key to this section is the author's method that utilizes superimposed polygons to model patterns of maritime activity, generating centennial results at different scales. Having built the models of a maritime culture's valorization of the Mediterranean Sea, Chapter 6 contains the first comparisons of these models to other datasets, questioning the relevance of textual media to understand maritime activity, while finding closer analogues with other archaeological corpora.
By deconstructing interpretive methods in maritime archaeology, offering a new synthesizing interpretive approach that is scalable and decoupled from past perceptions, and critically examining the applicability of various media to illuminate the past maritime experience, this book will appeal to scholars at various stages of their careers.

Redefining Being Selfish
by Sarah Marshank
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1662944438 | 378 pages | True EPUB | 5.37 MB

Redefining Being Self-ish: My Journey From Escort to Monk to Me is an inspirational and intimate memoir. An unorthodox story told with unflinching candor, it will appeal to all readers on the quest for a meaningful life.
Meet Sarah. She's twenty-two and facing a second unplanned pregnancy. Depressed and disillusioned, she sets out on a pilgrimage to understand sex, God, and herself. Sarah's path includes revisiting her ancestral roots in Judaism, exploring transformational work in the sex trade, and diving into Eastern-inspired new age spirituality.
While wandering, she meets Sam, a New York baby-boomer-turned-monk living a life unplugged from society in remote, rural Oregon. With Sam, Sarah settles into a disciplined life of study, contemplation, meditation, and silence-leaving her career, friends, and family behind. Bound by the tranquility of intentional simplicity and navigating the wilderness of her own mind, Sarah unravels. She could never have anticipated what her journey of self-discovery would ask of her next.
Redefining Being Self-ish sheds light on the value and trade-offs of being wisely selfish and illuminates the importance of self-inquiry in finding your unique path and purpose.

Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age by Eric Berger
English | September 24th, 2024 | ISBN: 1637745273 | 400 pages | True EPUB | 30.53 MB
How did a shaky startup defy expectations and become the world's leading spaceflight company? Get the untold story of the team of game-changers, led by a well-known billionaire, who are sending NASA astronauts to space-and just might carry the human race to Mars.

One company dominates the modern space industry: SpaceX, founded by controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk in 2002, now sending more payloads into orbit than the rest of the world combined. But Musk didn't do it alone-the saga of SpaceX is the story of a diverse cadre of true believers in the limitless potential of space travel.
For the first time, Reentry relates the definitive chronicle of how this daring team was able to redefine what it takes to reach the stars.
With Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Eric Berger, author of Liftoff, as your guide, you'll accompany SpaceX's innovative thinkers during their toughest trials and most audacious moments, including:
* Creating the first orbital rockets that land by themselves and fly again
* Transporting a 120-foot rocket from Texas to Florida
* Recovering from a "Hell's Bells" accident before the first Falcon Heavy launch
* Frantically searching the ocean for the first rocket that splashed down intact
* Identifying the $20 part that led to a rocket exploding in flight
* Slicing up an engine days before it launched into space
From launchpad explosions to a pernicious cricket infestation to the demanding management style of Musk himself, the rise of SpaceX was beset with challenges and far from inevitable. Find out how the startup beat the odds and flew high enough to outpace their rivals . . . and where they're going next.

Yiftah Elazar, "Republicanism and the Future of Democracy"
English | ISBN: 1316517551 | 2019 | 306 pages | PDF | 1404 KB
Democracies are in crisis. Can republican theory contribute to reforming our political norms and institutions? The 'neo-republican turn' has seen scholars using the classical republican tradition in reconstructing and developing a vision of public life as an alternative to liberalism. This volume offers new perspectives from leading scholars on how republicanism can help transform democratic theory and respond to some of its most pressing challenges. Drawing on this recent revival of republican political thought, its chapters reflect on such issues as the republican definition of freedom as nondomination and its relation to democracy and populism, the ideal of the common good, domination in the workplace and in the family, republicanism in a globalized world, and radical republican politics. It will appeal to researchers and students in political theory, political philosophy and the history of ideas, and anyone interested in gaining greater insight into the prospects and challenges of republican democracy in today's world.

Research Software Engineering with Python: Building software that makes research possible
by Damien Irving, Kate Hertweck
English | 2022 | ISBN: 036769834X | 528 Pages | True ePUB | 35 MB

Writing and running software is now as much a part of science as telescopes and test tubes, but most researchers are never taught how to do either well. As a result, it takes them longer to accomplish simple tasks than it should, and it is harder for them to share their work with others than it needs to be.
This book introduces the concepts, tools, and skills that researchers need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Based on the practical experiences of its authors, who collectively have spent several decades teaching software skills to scientists, it covers everything graduate-level researchers need to automate their workflows, collaborate with colleagues, ensure that their results are trustworthy, and publish what they have built so that others can build on it. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of Python as a starting point, and shows readers how it, the Unix shell, Git, Make, and related tools can give them more time to focus on the research they actually want to do.
Research Software Engineering with Python can be used as the main text in a one-semester course or for self-guided study. A running example shows how to organize a small research project step by step; over a hundred exercises give readers a chance to practice these skills themselves, while a glossary defining over two hundred terms will help readers find their way through the terminology. All of the material can be re-used under a Creative Commons license, and all royalties from sales of the book will be donated to The Carpentries, an organization that teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide.

1998 | 323 Pages | ISBN: 0875900909 | PDF | 12 MB
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series.Bedrock river channels are sites of primary erosion in the landscape, fixing the baselevel for all points upstream. This volume provides for the first time an integrated view of the characteristics and operation of this important, though hitherto neglected, class of channels. Examples are provided from several continents and cover a wide range of spatial scales from the large river basins (such as the Colorado River in the United States and the Indus River in Pakistan) down to reach scales and individual sites. Likewise the geologic timescales considered range from erosion and transportation during individual flows to accumulated effects over periods of tens of millions of years.Content:

Saigon to Pleiku: A Counterintelligence Agent in Vietnam's Central Highlands, 1962‒1963 by David Grant Noble
English | September 30, 2020 | ISBN: 1476683735 | 204 pages | PDF | 20 Mb
Initially stationed at the U.S. Army's counterintelligence headquarters in Saigon, David Noble was sent north to launch the army's first covert intelligence-gathering operation in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Living in the region of the Montagnards-Vietnam's indigenous tribal people, deemed critical to winning the war-Noble documented strategic hamlets and Green Beret training camps, where Special Forces teams taught the Montagnards to use rifles rather than crossbows and spears. In this book, he relates the formidable challenges he confronted in the course of his work.

Weaving together memoir, excerpts from letters written home, and photographs, Noble's compelling narrative throws light on a little-known corner of the Vietnam War in its early years-before the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and the deployment of combat units-and traces his transformation from a novice intelligence agent and believer in the war to a political dissenter and active protester.
