Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating the discoveries of the new feminist scholarship with the main themes of Western civilization, this much-needed volume finally puts women back into history. From Italy to Kenya, from Britain to Russia, the text examines the impact of religious reformation, political centralization, scientific, industrial, and political revolutions, world markets, and welfare states on women of diverse backgrounds, occupations, and classes. The book's unique format combines three overview chapters of summary and analysis with thirteen original case studies by leading historians of women, enabling students to focus on a national history, a period, or a particular theme. Throughout, these essays explode prevalent myths about women's history--for example, that women have existed in a private sphere apart from the public lives of men, and that individual achievement stands apart from social responsibility--and demonstrate that women have indeed had a profound influence on the course of Western history during the last half millennium. Features: * Innovative and scholarly: It thoroughly integrates the history of women and the history of Western civilization * Comprehensive: It examines women's historical connections to and influence on religion, politics, economics, science, society, and culture throughout the Western world alongside those of men * Self-contained: Three independent overview chapters provide a summary and analysis of women's historical experience in the Western world from 1500 to the present. Thirteen original, concise case studies illustrate the questions, sources, and interpretations developed by leading historians of women today * Easy to use: It covers the period from 1500 to the present in three manageable segments -- 1500 to 1750, 1750 to 1890, 1890 to the present * Flexible: The combination of overview chapters with readings allows instructors to focus on a particular period, nation, or issue

Download or read book Differential Manifolds written by Antoni A. Kosinski and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1992-12-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differential Manifolds is a modern graduate-level introduction to the important field of differential topology. The concepts of differential topology lie at the heart of many mathematical disciplines such as differential geometry and the theory of lie groups. The book introduces both the h-cobordism theorem and the classification of differential structures on spheres. The presentation of a number of topics in a clear and simple fashion make this book an outstanding choice for a graduate course in differential topology as well as for individual study. - Presents the study and classification of smooth structures on manifolds - It begins with the elements of theory and concludes with an introduction to the method of surgery - Chapters 1-5 contain a detailed presentation of the foundations of differential topology--no knowledge of algebraic topology is required for this self-contained section - Chapters 6-8 begin by explaining the joining of manifolds along submanifolds, and ends with the proof of the h-cobordism theory - Chapter 9 presents the Pontriagrin construction, the principle link between differential topology and homotopy theory; The final chapter introduces the method of surgery and applies it to the classification of smooth structures on spheres

Download or read book Lightstorm written by R F Allen and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of our world is in bondage and is abused, exploited, and manipulated. It is most obvious in the Middle East as thousands are murdered and millions displaced, driven from their homes and towns by the same conquering spirit that has destroyed throughout historygreedy, egotistical, self-appointed murderers and thugs who have separated themselves from common sense and invented reasons to destroy, claiming justification and exaltation through their god. Those in the West who profess freedom are also in a grave dilemma. Materialism is so powerful in blocking earth energy (hiding the true reason they have incarnated on earth) that other members of our cosmic family have offered to assist those who are awakened. The desire of our universal family is for all mankind, east and west, to have the opportunity to awaken, to experience consciousness through source. Liberators are with us today, not involved in the shedding of blood but in the shedding of ignorance, of hopelessness, of abuse (physical, emotional, and psychological) for those who will receive it. Valiant, noble souls are standing ready to help and support the unfolding of that divine source in each individual that chooses to know and embrace their own higher consciousness.

Download or read book Urban Agriculture for Growing City Regions written by Undine Giseke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how agriculture can play a determining role in integrated, climate-optimised urban development. Agriculture within urban growth centres today is more than an economic or social left-over or a niche practice. It is instead a complex system that offers multiple potentials for interaction with the urban system. Urban open space and agriculture can be linked to a productive green infrastructure – this forms new urban-rural linkages in the urbanizing region and helps shape the city. But in order to do this, agriculture has to be seen as an integral part of the urban fabric and it has to be put on the local agenda. Urban Agriculture for Growing City Regions takes the example of Casablanca, one of the fastest growing cities in North Africa, to investigate this approach. The creation of synergies between the urban and rural in an emerging megacity is demonstrated through pilot projects, design solutions, and multifunctional modules. These synergies assure greater resource efficiency; particularly regarding the use and reuse of water, and they strengthen regional food security and the social integration of multiple spheres. A transdisciplinary research approach brings together different scientific disciplines and local actors into a process of integrated knowledge production. The book will have a long lasting legacy and is essential reading for researchers, planners, practitioners and policy makers who are working on urban development and urban agricultural strategies.

Download or read book A New Tree of Life for Planetary Ascension written by David K. Miller and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David K. Miller has teamed up with Torah scholar and Kabbalist expert Mordechai Yashin, who resides in Jerusalem, Israel, to bring you A New Tree of Life for Planetary Ascension, which is based on unique lectures and classes David and Mordechai gave over an eight-month period between 2012 and 2013. It functions as a manual explaining the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the Arcturian Planetary Tree of Life, which is an expansion of the concepts contained in the Kabbalistic tree. The idea behind the Arcturian Planetary Tree of Life is to demonstrate through a paradigm shift how planetary energies can be used to rebalance our planet. The basic assumption is that Earth is currently unbalanced due to a variety of factors, including environmental contamination, global warming, and usage and extinctions of forests and ocean life on a mass basis. It must be pointed out that David has been working with the Arcturians to further upgrade the Planetary Tree of Life. This upgrade includes one completely new sphere that relates to the ascension and to the fifth dimension. This new sphere will be described in detail to explain how to use the new energy. Includes: Great pictorial descriptions of the Hebrew letters Detailed Kabbalistic map and paradigm of the Tree of Life Hebrew terminology and numbers relating to the Tree of Life Featured channelings through David K. Miller

Download or read book Diversifying Digital Learning written by William G. Tierney and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Schools and programs in low-income neighborhoods lack access to the technological resources that those in middle- and upper-income neighborhoods have at their fingertips. This inequity creates a persistent divide in both formal and informal digital literacy that further marginalizes youths from minority and first-generation communities. Diversifying Digital Learning outlines the pervasive problems that exist with ensuring digital equity and identifies successful strategies to tackle the issue. Bringing together top scholars to discuss how digital equity in education might become a key goal in American education, this book is structured to provide a framework for understanding how historically underrepresented students most effectively engage with technology-and how institutions may help or hinder students' ability to develop and capitalize on digital literacies. Addressing the intersection of digital media, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic class in a frank manner, the lessons within this compelling work will help educators enable students in grades K-12, as well as in postsecondary institutions, to participate in a rapidly changing world framed by shifting new media technologies.
