The Origins of Greek Temple Architecture
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108499473 | 351 Pages | PDF | 16 MB
In this book, Alessandro Pierattini offers a comprehensive study of the evolution of pre-archaic Greek temple architecture from the eleventh to mid-seventh century BCE. Demystifying the formative stages of Greek architecture, he traces how temples were transformed from unassuming shrines made of perishable materials into large stone and terracotta monuments. Grounded in archaeological evidence, the volume analyzes the design, function, construction, and aesthetic of the Greek temple. While the book's primary focus is architectural, it also draws on non-architectural material culture, ancient cult practice, and social history, which also defined the context that fostered the Greek temple's initial development. In reconstituting this early history, Pierattini also draws attention to new developments as well as legacies from previous eras. Ultimately, he reveals why the temple's pre-Archaic development is not only of interest in itself, but also a key to the origins of the Greek monumental architecture of the Archaic period.

Jonathan Foltz, "The Novel after Film: Modernism and the Decline of Autonomy"
English | ISBN: 0190676493 | 2017 | 304 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 23 MB
According to prevailing media histories, film long ago ought to have rendered the novel obsolete. The irony of this story is that the "death of the novel" at the hands of film has for a long time now been a pervasive trope of the novel's continued reinvention. The Novel After Film offers a substantial reassessment of this paradoxical new condition of novelistic practice in which writers have re-imagined the novel in the shadow of film. In the cinema, a generation of modernist writers found a medium whose bad form was also laced with the glamor of the popular, and whose unfamiliar visual language seemed to harbor a future for innovative writing after modernism. How did the cinema-with its crude continuities, crowded theaters, stock Descriptions, and ghostly images-seem to flout conventional ideas of narrative form? What new literacies of experience and representation did film seem to promise?

The Nineteenth-Century Child and Consumer Culture By Dennis Denisoff (editor)
2008 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0754661563 | PDF | 26 MB
During the rise of consumer culture in the nineteenth century, children and childhood were called on to fulfill a range of important roles. In addition to being consumers themselves, the young functioned as both 'goods' to be used and consumed by adults and as proof that middle-class materialist ventures were assisting in the formation of a more ethical society. Children also provided necessary labor and raw material for industry. This diverse collection addresses the roles assigned to children in the context of nineteenth-century consumer culture, at the same time that it remains steadfast in recognizing that the young did not simply exist within adult-articulated cultural contexts but were agents in their formation. Topics include toys and middle-class childhood; boyhood and toy theater; child performers on the Victorian stage; gender, sexuality and consumerism; imperialism in adventure fiction; the idealization of childhood as a form of adult entertainment and self-flattery; the commercialization of orphans; and the economics behind formulations of child poverty. Together, the essays demonstrate the rising investment both children and adults made in commodities as sources of identity and human worth.

David J. Hartshorne, "The New Science of Fixing Things: Powerful Insights About Root Cause Analysis That Will Transform Product and Process Performance"
English | 2020 | ASIN: B0863R7784 | PDF | pages: 126 | 2.4 mb
In order to solve any problem, a reasonably deep understanding of how and why things happen is required. This knowledge, however arrived at, provides the capacity to take action. Making the link between what we see happening and such knowledge is a process called diagnosis. But how can we go about diagnosing performance and reliability of engineering systems when the required knowledge is not immediately to hand? This book shows that truly excellent performance is achievable, and it is not that difficult. These insight are powerful, and yet seem to be largely unknown, almost secret. This is a management overview of what effective diagnosis should entail, and what is possible, highlighting both the core principles, and the very small number of strategies that are both effective and efficient. Their application is illustrated with case-studies.

The Nature of Pandemics: The Nature of an Emerging Global Threat
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032340606 | 471 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
The ongoing COVID-19 disaster―and the universal realization of the inevitability of even worse pandemics in the future―has resulted in a wealth of books, scientific papers, and journalistic analyses of the politics, medicine, and human suffering. The Nature of Pandemics is not an outcrop of COVID-19 publication frenzy. Conceived in the period between the outbreaks of SARS and Ebola, the book addresses the critical, but commonly overlooked issues that limit readiness, recognition, and rapid response to emerging biodisasters.
