Europe Since 1980

Europe Since 1980
Ivan T. Berend, "Europe Since 1980 "
English | ISBN: 0521129176 | 2010 | 342 pages | PDF | 9 MB
This book tells the dramatic story of the economic, social, political, and cultural transformation of Europe during the transition from the Cold War to the European Union. Ivan Berend charts, in particular, the overwhelming impact of the collapse of communism on every aspect of European life. Europe became safer and more united, and Central and Eastern Europe started on the difficult road to economic modernization. However, the western half of Europe also changed. European integration gained momentum. The single market and the common currency were introduced, and the Union enlarged from nine to twenty-seven countries. This period also saw a revolution in information and communication technology, the increasing impact of globalization and the radical restructuring of the political system. The book explores the impact of all of these changes as well as the new challenges posed by the economic crisis of 2008-9 and asks which way now for Europe?

Ethics and Clinical Neuroinnovation

Ethics and Clinical Neuroinnovation
Ethics and Clinical Neuroinnovation: Fundamentals, Stakeholders, Case Studies, and Emerging Issues
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031143388 | 659 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8.4 MB
New ways of understanding the brain - its nature, its capacities, its function, and its dysfunction - hold great promise for human wellbeing. Novel therapeutics spurred by this understanding have important roles addressing many clinical conditions, including Alzheimer Disease, depression, addiction, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This unique title explores a wide range of groundbreaking sciences and clinical practices for brain-based conditions, including deep brain stimulation, optogenetics, technology-delivered therapies, predictive testing, and new clinical uses of ketamine, cannabis, and other psychoactive substances.

Equilibrium in Analytical Chemistry Using Maple® An emphasis on Ionic Equilibrium - Part I

Equilibrium in Analytical Chemistry Using Maple® An emphasis on Ionic Equilibrium - Part I
Equilibrium in Analytical Chemistry Using Maple® An emphasis on Ionic Equilibrium - Part I
English | 2013 | ISBN: 978-87-403-0424-4 | 480 pages | EPUB | 4.63 MB
This book is likely to find strong appeal among hard-core analytical chemists. Although it is not a textbook, it will appeal to chemistry and environmental faculty and students. It is rich in its presentation of first principles as it methodically illustrates the use of Maple for solving problems in the context of analytical chemistry. Those who wish to understand the issues of incomplete reaction and the difference between an equivalence point and an endpoint should be especially pleased. Some who are less comfortable with computer algebra might be reluctant to embrace this approach, at first, but they will find that they come up to speed quickly because the instruction presumes no prior knowledge of Maple. Yet, within two chapters the reader is calculating and graphically illustrating important points.

Entrepreneurship in Context

Entrepreneurship in Context
Entrepreneurship in Context By Marco van Gelderen (editor), Enno Masurel (editor)
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415890926 | PDF | 3 MB
Much research in entrepreneurship presents results as if they are universally and timelessly valid. Entrepreneurship in Context takes the opposite tack - it studies entrepreneurship as a context bound phenomenon. For entrepreneurship, the importance of context goes beyond gaining understanding and avoiding mistakes. The reciprocal influence exercised by the entrepreneurial venture and its corresponding context is at the very heart of the entrepreneur as an agent of change. The book addresses context in a narrow sense, i.e. a person's life situation and local, situational characteristics. It also deals with wider contexts such as social, industry, cultural, ethnic, sustainability-related, institutional, and historical contexts. The book studies the interconnectedness of all these various sub-contexts. It zooms in on the actions that entrepreneurs take to involve, engage, and influence their context and shows the changing and dynamic nature of context. It provides lessons for entrepreneurs about which contextual elements should be prioritized, engaged and sought out.

English MPs Legislators and Servants of their Constituents, 1750-1800

English MPs Legislators and Servants of their Constituents, 1750-1800
Michael W. McCahill, "English MPs: Legislators and Servants of their Constituents, 1750-1800"
English | ISBN: 1350332275 | 2023 | 288 pages | PDF | 22 MB
What was the role of elected legislators? Was it to represent the opinions of constituents or to vote according to their informed opinions reflecting the needs of the kingdom? Most authorities have accepted Edmund Burke's depiction of 18th-century MPs, insisting it was their right to form their opinions without reference to the instructions of constituents. This study provides answers to these important questions and, in doing so, reveals that Burke's vision does not represent how the House of Commons functioned during the last two decades of the 18th century.

Engineering Thermodynamics

Engineering Thermodynamics
Engineering Thermodynamics by Tarik Al-Shemmeri
English | 2010 | ISBN: 978-87-7681-670-4 | 178 pages | EPUB | 2.39 MB
Thermodynamics is an essential subject taught to all science and engineering students. If the coverage of this subject is restricted to theoretical analysis, students will resort to memorising the facts in order to pass the examination. Therefore, this book is set out with the aim to present this subject from an angle of demonstration of how these laws are used in practical situation. This book is designed for the virtual reader in mind, it is concise and easy to read, yet it presents all the basic laws of thermodynamics in a simplistic and straightforward manner; plus many worked examples and a good section of unsolved tutorial problems.
