What Artists See: Essays by Quentin Sprague
English | 1 July 2025 | ISBN: 192319237X, 9781923192393 | True EPUB | 288 pages | 6.9 MB
A luminous collection of essays on art, obsession and creativity from one of Australia's best critics

Why do we revere the figure of the artist? Is the drive to create an innate human instinct or a form of compulsion? Is the provocateur more lauded than the realist? Why do artists do what they do, day after day, in a display of discipline and will?
The twelve essays in this collection offer glimpses into the lives of some of Australia's best contemporary artists, exploring the impetus for creativity and the role of art in making meaning. Tied together by an enduring curiosity for how artists practice what motivates them, what confounds them and what compels them to keep creating these pieces span the islands of Carpentaria to suburban Perth, the streets of Malaysia to the deserts of the Northern Territory. What emerges is art as an act of wilful vision of alternative ways of seeing that illuminate the otherwise invisible.

What Is Ancient History? by Walter Scheidel
English | April 22, 2025 | ISBN: 0691236658 | 328 pages | PDF | 3.15 Mb
From one of today's most innovative ancient historians, a provocative new vision of why ancient history matters-and why it needs to be told in a radically different, global way

It's easy to think that ancient history is, well, ancient history-obsolete, irrelevant, unjustifiably focused on Greece and Rome, and at risk of extinction. In What Is Ancient History?, Walter Scheidel presents a compelling case for a new kind of ancient history-a global history that captures antiquity's pivotal role as a decisive phase in human development, one that provided the shared foundation of our world and continues to shape our lives today.
For Scheidel, ancient history is when the earliest versions of today's ways of life were created and spread-from farming, mining, and engineering to housing and transportation, cities and government, writing and belief systems. Transforming the planet, this process unfolded all over the world, in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, often at different times, sometimes haltingly but ultimately unstoppably. Yet it's rarely studied or taught that way. Since the eighteenth century, Western intellectuals have dismembered the ancient world, driven not only by their quest for professional expertise but also by nationalism, colonialism, racism, and the idealization of Greece and Rome. Specialized scholarship has fractured into numerous academic niches, obscuring broader patterns and dynamics and keeping us from understanding just how much humanity has long had in common.
The time has come, Scheidel argues, to put the ancient world back together-by moving beyond the limitations of Greco-Roman "classics," by systematically comparing ancient societies, and by exploring early exchanges and connections between them. The time has come, in other words, for an ancient history for everyone.

What Kind of Government?: Rethinking Contemporary Forms of Government after the Break in Tradition (Contributions to Political Science) by Vlasta Jalušič, Wolfgang Heuer
English | October 18, 2024 | ISBN: 3031611705 | 226 pages | MOBI | 0.68 Mb
This book seeks to develop an understanding of the changes in contemporary forms of government and explores the nature and structure of the various corrupt, undemocratic, oppressive, and abusive governments that continue to emerge around the globe. While proceeding from Hannah Arendt's well-known thesis of the "break in (political) tradition" that occurred with the totalitarianisms of the 20th century, it addresses some main conceptual frameworks and a number of key trends in existing forms of government and their relations to historical forms.

The primary intended audience includes educators, scholars, and researchers with an interest in contemporary democracy and anti-democratic movements, government, questions of power, political theory / philosophy, and conceptual history, as well as and students enrolled in various disciplines of the social sciences. Moreover, it will be of interest to Arendt scholars and those researching the contemporary challenges to democracy and constitutional rule worldwide.

When Your Neurons Dance; A Story of a Doctor with Parkinson's Disease
by Jonny Acheson

English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032989971 | 167 pages | True PDF EPUB | 14.98 MB

As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the UK, Dr Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fuelled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. In 2016, when he was 41, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do. When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him - how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine. Ultimately as a doctor practising with Parkinson's, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.

Ilaria Canavotto, "Where Responsibility Takes You: Logics of Agency, Counterfactuals, and Norms "
English | ISBN: 3031171101 | 2022 | 228 pages | EPUB | 18 MB
This book presents the Ph.D. dissertation of Ilaria Canavotto. The thesis won the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize in 2021 for outstanding dissertations in the fields of logic, language, and information. It combines modal logics of agency, counterfactuals, and norms in order to study the reasoning underlying ascriptions of causal responsibility, the responsibility an agent is subject to because of the states of affairs they have brought about. Ascriptions of causal responsibility involve both causal reasoning and normative reasoning. In order to provide a logical analysis of these components, the dissertation brings together two mainstream logics of actions, STIT (seeing to it that) logic and Propositional Dynamic Logic, and extends them with an analysis of causality, a Lewis-Stalnaker style analysis of counterfactuals, subject matter semantics, and deontic logic. The author uses the resulting logics to investigate a number of philosophical issues underlying ascriptions of causal responsibility and technical issues emerging from the unification of the above-mentioned formal frameworks.

Bianka Plüschke-Altof, "Whose Green City?: Contested Urban Green Spaces and Environmental Justice in Northern Europe "
English | ISBN: 3031046358 | 2022 | 190 pages | EPUB | 12 MB
Against the backdrop of an accelerating global urbanization and related ecological, climatic or social challenges to urban sustainability, this book focuses on the access to "safe, inclusive and accessible green and public space" as outlined in United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal No. 11. Looking through the lens of environmental justice and contested urban spaces, it raises the question who ultimately benefits from a green city development, and - even more importantly - who does not. While green space benefits are well-documented, green space provision is faced by multiple challenges in an era of urban neoliberalism. With their interdisciplinary and multi-method approach, the chapters in this book carefully study the different dimensions of green space access with particular focus on vulnerable groups, critically evaluate cases of procedural injustice and, in the case of Northern Europe that is often seen as forerunner of urban sustainability, provide in-depth studies on the contexts of injustices in urban greening.

Winning the Talent War through Neurodivergence: A Guide for the Neurotypical
by Rothwell, William J, Zion, Jonathan D

English | 2025 | ISBN: 0815382871 | 149 pages | True PDF EPUB | 8.11 MB

Recruiting talent from among the disabled population poses unique challenges, which often are not adequately addressed by potential employers. Although job seekers presently enjoy an advantage due to global talent shortages, that situation may not continue. Right now, employers are hard pressed to find anyone to fill positions. At this writing, there are two job openings available for every one job applicant to fill it. In that environment, it makes sense for employers to explore alternative ways to get work done and alternative labor groups to do that work. In Winning the Talent War through Neurodivergence: A Guide for the Neurotypical, William J. Rothwell and Jonathan D. Zion show how employers can overcome talent shortages by tapping into the often-overlooked pool of talent comprising people with disabilities (PWDs).
Few books examine the human resources processes relating to people with disabilities, and this one provides a range of new insights.
This is a book for anyone involved in developing HR strategies or with responsibility for how human resources are utilized in general, who are interested in improving the methods used to recruit and retain people with disabilities.

Nirupama Sensharma, "Wobbling Motion in Nuclei: Transverse, Longitudinal, and Chiral "
English | ISBN: 3031171497 | 2022 | 159 pages | EPUB | 24 MB
This thesis presents significant new observations of nuclear wobbling, and thus expands our understanding of nuclear triaxiality and its prevalence in the nuclear chart. Triaxial nuclear shapes are a very rare phenomena and their experimental identification often relies on two unique signatures - nuclear wobbling motion and chiral rotation. While nuclear chirality is a well-studied phenomenon, experimental observations of wobbling nuclei are rather limited. With the identification of 135Pr and 187Au as wobblers, this work establishes triaxiality to be a general phenomenon present in different regions of the nuclear chart, irrespective of any particular spin or deformation. A major focus of this work is the detailed investigation of the different kinds of wobbling modes. Depending on the geometry of the nuclear system, wobbling can be classified into two types - longitudinal and transverse. This work has, for the first time, reported evidence of the possible coexistence of both forms of wobbling in a single nucleus. Another important result reported in this work is the very first observation of co-existing chiral and wobbling modes in the

Laura S. Schor, "Women and Political Activism in France, 1848-1852: First Feminists"
English | ISBN: 3031146921 | 2022 | 363 pages | EPUB | 25 MB
This book is organized around the personal struggles of ten extraordinary French women activists: Eugenie Niboyet, Eugenie Foa, Suzanne Voilquin, Josephine Bachellery, Pauline Roland, Jeanne Deroin, Elisa Lemonnier, Desiree Gay, Adele Esquiros, and Marie Noemie Constant. Ranging in age from 52 to 20 in 1848, coming from different economic backgrounds, these women share a common quest to be included in the economic and political rights won by the revolt against the July Monarchy.

Banding together in the face of exclusion from the right to work guaranteed to all men in February 1848, they write petitions to the Provisional Government, and create the first daily feminist newspaper, "La Voix des femmes." The newspaper is a forum for their demands: midwives who demand to be paid as civil servants, domestic workers who demand support while unemployed, teachers who demand opportunities for higher education and for higher wages. The right to vote and the right to divorce are debated inthe newspaper.

Wreckers: Disaster in the Age of Discovery by Simon Park
English | 22 July 2025 | ISBN: 0241741327, 9781405974776 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 92.9 MB
A gripping new history of the shipwrecks and other failed voyages at the dawn of imperialism (15-16th C)

Wreckers sinks the old narratives of imperialism, revealing the violent, chaotic and improvised reality of empire-building from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries.
While figures such as Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan are celebrated for their maritime achievements - reaching the Americas, India, and circumnavigating the globe - focusing solely on these voyages distorts our perspective on the past. Many explorers ended up as castaways, clinging to the splintered timbers of their wrecked ships, while those who survived often faced resistance and ridicule from indigenous communities across the globe.
Drawing on maritime stories from various languages and continents - from Brazil and Southeast Africa to India and the Philippines - Wreckers shares dramatic tales of the sea and the events on land that followed. This offers an alternative timeline for the century after Columbus' 1492 voyage and sheds light on the fractures and fault lines that accompanied the increasing geographical range of European ships.
Simon Park argues that even when Europeans arrogantly claimed their own superiority, the truth was that they were often driven by a profound sense of greed and envy, and their actions included numerous mishaps. For example, in his hunt for gold, Martin Frobisher - who fancied himself England's Columbus and Cortes combined - transported worthless rocks across the Atlantic by the tonne. In the search for spices, Captain and profiteer Manuel de Sousa de Sepolveda's ship was so overladen, it spewed its fragrant cargo when it crashed off the coast of South Africa. Moreover, in every place they went, Europeans depended on local know-how and goodwill - relying on indigenous knowledge of languages, geography, food and medicines.
Wreckers reveals the precarious balance between imperious European powers, cunning locals who colluded to further their own agendas, and others who showed great tenacity in their resistance to European incursions. By focusing on stories of failure, defiance and comeuppance, Wreckers - a term Park uses to refer both to those who were wrecked and those involved in wrecking - offers a gripping and original account of a tumultuous period. It challenges the notion of unstoppable European dominance and enables a reimagining of history as a space of possibilities then, now and in the future.

Writing the Military History of Pre-Crusade Europe (Variorum Collected Studies) by David S. Bachrach, Bernard S. Bachrach
English | December 30, 2020 | ISBN: 0367547066 | 370 pages | PDF | 9.73 Mb
Writing the Military History of Pre-Crusade Europe brings together fourteen articles by eminent historians David S. Bachrach and Bernard S. Bachrach.

Crucial to the writing of medieval military history is a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the available source materials. Just as important is a broad conception of the range of sources which scholars can draw upon to ask and answer questions about the organization and conduct of war. The studies collected in this volume provide insights regarding many of the most important narrative works from pre-Crusade Europe, with a particular emphasis on the ways in which they can be used to write military history, as well as the pitfalls facing historians who read these texts transparently without regard for the authors' various parti pris and limitations. In addition to their treatment of narrative works, several of the studies in this volume highlight the importance of treating historiographical texts within the broader range of source materials that illuminate the conduct and organization of war in pre-crusade Europe, particularly material sources developed through excavations, as well as contemporary images, most prominently the Bayeux Tapestry.
The book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval history, as well as those interested in military history. (CS1097).

Breno B. Silva, "Writing to Learn Academic Words: Assessment, Cognition, and Learning "
English | ISBN: 3031065042 | 2022 | 288 pages | EPUB | 17 MB
This book highlights the importance of English academic vocabulary for success at university and explores written tasks as effective pedagogical tools to promote the acquisition of academic words. The book reviews germane and recent SLA, psycholinguistic, corpus linguistics, and L2 writing research to underscore the challenges associated with the learning of academic words. Then, it reports on three empirical studies conducted in the Polish context. The first study develops a reliable tool to assess the knowledge of academic vocabulary of undergraduate learners. The second and third studies investigate the learning of academic words after the writing of sentences and argumentative essays, and discuss the role of cognition as a mediator of such learning. The book also provides an accessible introduction to linear mixed-effect models, a powerful, reliable, and flexible statistical technique that has been gaining popularity among SLA and psycholinguistics researchers.

Ahmar Mahboob, "Writings on Subaltern Practice"
English | ISBN: 3031437098 | 2023 | 199 pages | EPUB | 15 MB
Subaltern theory emerged as a small voice within academia decades ago. Over time, this work generated significant debate and numerous publications, talks, and conferences. However, little has changed in the experienced lives of the masses. This led people to wonder: "the subalterns seem to have a voice, but can they take action?"; or, in other words, is there subaltern practice?

This collection of essays and poems, written with a broad audience in mind, hopes to demonstrate not just how the subaltern can identify and question hegemonic practices, but how they can create alternative frameworks and material that enable themselves and their communities. In doing so, this book aims to demonstrate not just how deep the colonial poisons run, but also how to detoxify ourselves and the environment around us.

Zen and the Art of Writing v1: Publish Your First Book
English | 2022 | ASIN : B0BC4CZ22L | 512 Pages | EPUB | 11 MB
A sure-fire method of developing any skill is to follow the advice of those who already have the skill. Advice from other authors is an important way of developing a writing skill. It is a whole chapter in this book. Your first book could benefit from the advice of Charles Reid, the 19th-century novelist. He advises you to make your readers laugh, make them cry and make them wait. Anton Chekhov advised authors: "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." - "Show don't tell" is not always possible but it is very effective when it can be applied. When you have finished reading this book you will have many guidelines from other authors, enough to start your own book.
