Abigail Woods, "A Manufactured Plague?: The History of Foot and Mouth Disease in Britain"
English | 2004 | pages: 242 | ISBN: 1844070808 | PDF | 5,1 mb
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is currently regarded as one of the world's worst animal plagues. But how did this label become attached to a curable disease that poses little threat to human health? And why, in the epidemic of 2001, did the government's control strategy still rely upon Victorian trade restrictions and mass slaughter?

Graham T. Dozier, "A Gunner in Lee's Army: The Civil War Letters of Thomas Henry Carter "
English | ISBN: 1469618745 | 2014 | 368 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In May 1861, Virginian Thomas Henry Carter (1831-1908) raised an artillery battery and joined the Confederate army. Over the next four years, he rose steadily in rank from captain to colonel, placing him among the senior artillerists in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. During the war, Carter wrote more than 100 revealing letters to his wife, Susan, about his service. His interactions with prominent officers-including Lee, Jubal A. Early, John B. Gordon, Robert E. Rodes, and others-come to life in Carter's astute comments about their conduct and personalities. Combining insightful observations on military operations, particularly of the Battles of Antietam and Spotsylvania Court House and the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, with revealing notes on the home front and the debate over the impressment and arming of slaves, Carter's letters are particularly interesting because his writing is not overly burdened by the rhetoric of the southern ruling class.

Gwynaeth McIntyre, "A Family of Gods: The Worship of the Imperial Family in the Latin West"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0472130056 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.3 mb
Roman politics and religion were inherently linked as the Romans attempted to explain the world and their place within it. As Roman territory expanded and power became consolidated into the hands of one man, people throughout the empire sought to define their relationship with the emperor by granting honors to him. This collection of practices has been labeled "emperor worship" or "ruler cult," but this tells only half the story: imperial family members also became an important part of this construction of power and almost half of the individuals deified in Rome were wives, sisters, children, and other family members of the emperor.

A Computational Model of Natural Language Communication: Interpretation, Inference, and Production in Database Semantics by Roland Hausser
English | PDF(True) | 2006 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 354035476X | 2.6 MB
Everyday life would be easier if we could simply talk with machines instead of having to program them. Before such talking robots can be built, however, there must be a theory of how communicating with natural language works. This requires not only a grammatical analysis of the language signs, but also a model of the cognitive agent, with interfaces for recognition and action, an internal database, and an algorithm for reading content in and out. In Database Semantics, these ingredients are used for reconstructing natural language communication as a mechanism for transferring content from the database of the speaker to the database of the hearer.
