2021 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1636402801 | PDF | 13 MB
Getting a top campus placement is considered a hallowed accomplishment in college life. The optimal preparation for placements heavily involves peer to peer learning and access to relevant resources. Many students struggle through the placement season because they do not get the right advice and resources. We, 5 IIT Bombay graduates, have tried to bridge this gap by creating a solution that covers a wide range of topics including Resume making, HR Preparation, Case Preparation and Aptitude Test Preparation. We have created actionable frameworks using the insights that are passed on from seniors to juniors and have never been documented before. This book is our humble attempt to provide candidates with all the things they require for placement preparation.About the Author: Siddesh Choudhary (Meesho, Ex-BCG, IIT Bombay)Chirag Singhal (Boston Consulting Group, IIT Bombay)Rajat Kadam (Ab-InBev, Incoming IIM Ahmedabad 2022, IIT Bombay)Vedarth Choksi (Sprinklr, Incoming IIM Ahmedabad 2022, IIT Bombay)Praveen Saran (PwC US Advisory (DIAC), IIT Bombay)

Michael Roy, "Pits and Boots: Excavation of Medieval and Post-Medieval Backlands Under the Bon Accord Centre, Aberdeen"
English | ISBN: 1789694876 | 2021 | 352 pages | PDF | 48 MB
Pits and Boots derives from excavations carried out in 2007-8, in advance of an extension to the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen, that uncovered the backlands of an area that would have formed part of the industrial quarter of the medieval town. The site is well-dated by dendrochronology, augmented by artefactual evidence, and indicates activity from the late 12th century AD into the early modern period, with a particularly intensive period in the 13th century. Structural evidence consists primarily of the backland boundaries, hearth/ovens, several wood-lined wells and many large pits. It is the contents of these pits and wells which forms the core of this monograph. The waterlogged conditions within the pits and wells has meant that a remarkable assemblage of organic remains including leather, wooden artefacts, textiles, animal pelts, fibres, and cordage has survived. The leather assemblage is the largest ever to be found in Scotland and has revealed a range of activities associated with the use of animal hides, from hide processing to tanning and shoemaking. The wood assemblage is also extensive and includes bowls, platters, coopered vessels and tools. Metalwork, crucibles, clay mould fragments and ceramics all testify to the industrial nature of the area, while the large quantities of animal and fishbone demonstrate that butchery on an industrial scale took place in the area. The excavation charts the changing nature of this once-peripheral area of Aberdeen, from an industrial zone in the medieval period, to horticultural and domestic spaces in post-medieval times, and has thus greatly enhanced our knowledge of Scottish urban development.

Physics: New Frontiers by Scientific American Editors
English | 2017 | ISBN: 9781250121493 | 156 pages | PDF | 5.52 Mb
Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared with the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this eBook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.

Performing Queer Female Identity on Screen: A Critical Analysis of Five Recent Films By Jamie Stuart
2008 | 235 Pages | ISBN: 0786439718 | PDF | 19 MB
Film audiences have grown used to seeing female characters in "performance roles," singing or dancing on stages in nightclubs, musical arenas, or theaters--performing their "femaleness" for the fictional audience as well as the film viewing audience. But queer women in film perform on yet another level. In addition to performing their gender for the world, they also perform their sexuality for either a general or an "insider" audience, in ways that can be read to establish a queer visibility, to establish a sense of community, or to show romantic lesbian interest. This work examines "performance spaces" for lesbian identities in films, evaluating how queer femaleness is signified in contemporary cinema. It studies five films in particular: When Night Is Falling, Better Than Chocolate, Tipping the Velvet, Slaves to the Underground, and Prey for Rock and Roll. Through close textual analysis, evaluations of the conditions under which each film was produced and received, and dozens of audience surveys, it reveals much about both the story worlds of the films and the ways that queer women react to and feel about them.

Performance through Diversity and Inclusion: Leveraging Organizational Practices for Equity and Results By Ruth Sessler Bernstein, Paul F. Salipante, Judith Y. Weisinger
2021 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0367421798 | PDF | 22 MB
This book provides practical guidance for managers, leaders, diversity officers, educators, and students to achieve the benefits of diversity by focusing on creating meaningful, inclusive interactions. Implementing inclusive interaction practices, along with accountability practices, enhances performance outcomes for the organization and improves equity for members of historically underrepresented and marginalized groups. The book highlights the need to challenge existing approaches that have overemphasized representational―that is, numerical―diversity. For many decades, the focus has been on this important first step of increasing the numbers of underrepresented groups. However, moving beyond representation toward a truly inclusive organizational culture that produces real performance and equity has been elusive. This book moves the focus from achieving numerical diversity to achieving frequent, high-quality, equitable, and productive interactions that enable individuals to leverage their distinctive talents and provides the steps to do so. The benefits of this approach occur at the individual, workgroup, and organizational levels. Real-life examples of good inclusive practices are provided from across the for-profit, nonprofit, and governmental sectors and in various organizational contexts. The book is ideal not only for those charged with diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in organizations but also for organizational leaders and managers who can create and/or support the implementing of inclusive organizational practices and also for postgraduate and undergraduate students studying human resource management, organizational behavior, management, or diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Over time, basic research tends to lead to specialization - increasingly narrow t- ics are addressed by increasingly focussed communities, publishing in increasingly con ned workshops and conferences, discussing increasingly incremental contri- tions. Already the community of programming languages is split into various s- communities addressing different aspects and paradigms (functional, imperative, relational, and object-oriented). Only a few people manage to maintain a broader view, and even fewer step back in order to gain an understanding about the basic principles, their interrelation, and their impact in a larger context.
