Shifting Currents: World History of Swimming by Karen Eva Carr (.ePUB)
đź Shifting Currents: World History of Swimming by Karen Eva Carr (.ePUB) A deep dive into the history of aquatics that exposes centuries-old tensions of race, gender, and power at the root of many contemporary swimming controversies. Shifting Currents is an original and comprehensive history of swimming. It examines the tension that arose when non-swimming northerners met African and Southeast Asian swimmers. Using archaeological, textual, and art-historical sources, Karen Eva Carr shows how the water simultaneously attracted and repelled these northernersâswimming seemed uncanny, related to witchcraft and sin. Europeans used Africansâ and Native Americansâ swimming skills to justify enslaving them, but northerners also wanted to claim waterâs power for themselves. They imagined that swimming would bring them health and demonstrate their scientific modernity. As Carr reveals, this unresolved tension still sexualizes womenâs swimming and marginalizes Black and Indigenous swimmers today. Thus, the history of swimming offers a new lens through which to gain a clearer view of race, gender, and power on a centuries-long scale. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Karen Eva Carr Size 25MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/0JzXauURmiHx https://devuploads.com/0ufyaybye1rn

The Downfall of God by S. T. Joshi (.ePUB)
đź The Downfall of God by S. T. Joshi (.ePUB) Atheism has been on the rise in the West for several decades, but its roots, including those belonging to secularism, agnosticism, and freethought, run deep in Western history, philosophy, and thought. Drawing on a multitude of sources from a number of disciplines, S. T. Joshi outlines the natural origins of religious belief in primitive times and charts the slow development of secular accounts of natural phenomena in the Greco-Roman world. Adopting the âChrist mythâ theory, he surveys the emergence of a new faithâChristianityâthat grew out of Judaism and explores its evolution through the medieval period. He then examines the increasing schisms within the church and conflicts between religious and political entities that caused a fracturing of the monolith of Christianity and the birth of the Renaissance, which not only brought to light the literary glories of the Greco-Roman world but also led to a scientific resurgence and the development of a secular view of the cosmos. By the end of the sixteenth century, as he concludes, the stage was set for the emergence of a worldview free of religion. â»ïž Book's Info: Author S. T.

Vermeer's Wager by Ivan Gaskell (.ePUB)
đź Vermeer's Wager by Ivan Gaskell (.ePUB) Vermeer's Wager stands at the intersection of art history and criticism, philosophy and museology. Using a familiar and celebrated painting by Johannes Vermeer as a case study, Ivan Gaskell explores what it might mean to know and use a work of art. He argues that art history as generally practiced, while successfully asserting certain claims to knowledge, fails to take into account aspects of the unique character of works of art. Our relationship to art is mediated, not only through reproduction â particularly photography â but also through displays in museums. In an analysis that ranges from seventeenth-century Holland, through mid-nineteenth-century France, to artists' and curators' practice today, Gaskell draws on his experience of Dutch art history, philosophy and contemporary art criticism. Anyone with an interest in Vermeer and the afterlife of his art will value this book, as will all who think seriously about the role of photography in perception and the core purposes of art museums. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Ivan Gaskell Size 11MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PFyqFbv80ck6 https://devuploads.com/3rlobqc6a23j

Speaking for Others by Wendy Salkin (.ePUB)
đź Speaking for Others by Wendy Salkin (.ePUB) A political philosopher dissects the duties and dilemmas of the unelected spokesperson, from Martin Luther King, Jr., to Greta Thunberg. Political representation is typically assumed to be the purview of formal institutions and elected officials. But many of the people who represent us are not senators or city councilorsâthink of Martin Luther King, Jr., or Malala Yousafzai or even a neighbor who speaks up at a school board meeting. Informal political representatives are in fact ubiquitous, often powerful, and some bear enormous responsibility. In Speaking for Others, political philosopher Wendy Salkin develops the first systematic conceptual and moral analysis of informal political representation. Salkin argues that informal representation can be a political lifeline, particularly for oppressed and marginalized groups that are denied representation in formal political institutions. Yet informal political representatives exert outsized influence over the ways these groupsâ interests are understood by the public, without the represented having much recourse to hold them accountable. And many informal political representatives are selected not by the groups they represent but by outsiders, sticking these groups with representatives they would not choose but cannot shake. The role of informal political representatives is therefore fraught with moral questions. What exactly are their duties and to whom are they owed? Should they be members of the groups they represent? When is informal representation permissible and when is it best avoided? â»ïž Book's Info: Author Wendy Salkin Size 600KB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/huZrDZ1OXkZ8 https://devuploads.com/hi9x2e01qqpi

The Man Who Broke Michelangelo's Nose by Felipe Pereda (.ePUB)
đź The Man Who Broke Michelangelo's Nose by Felipe Pereda (.ePUB) Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano has long held a place in the public imagination as the man who broke Michelangeloâs nose. Indeed, he is known more for that story than for his impressive prowess as an artist. This engagingly written and deeply researched study by Felipe Pereda, a leading expert in the field, teases apart legend and history and reconstructs Torrigianoâs work as an artist. Torrigiano was, in fact, one of the most fascinating characters of the sixteenth century. After fighting in the Italian wars under Cesare Borgia, the Florentine artist traveled across four countries, working for such patrons as Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands and the Tudors in England. Toriggiano later went to Spain, where he died in prison, accused of heresy by the Inquisition for breaking a sculpture of the Virgin and Child that he had made with his own hands. In the course of his travels, Torrigiano played a crucial role in the dissemination of the style and the techniques that he learned in Florence, and he interacted with local artisanal traditions and craftsmen, developing a singular terracotta modeling technique that is both a response to the authority of Michelangelo and a unique testimony to artistsâ mobility in the period. As Pereda shows, Torrigianoâs life and work constitute an ideal example to rethink the geography of Renaissance art, challenging us to reconsider the model that still sees the Renaissance as expanding from an Italian center into the western periphery. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Felipe Pereda Size 107MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/a8dAbt5D5q4J https://devuploads.com/pa6wm1pocpzy

The Monastic World: A 1,200-Year History by Andrew Jotischky (.ePUB)
đź The Monastic World: A 1,200-Year History by Andrew Jotischky (.ePUB) A major new history of medieval monasticism, from the fourth to the sixteenth century From the late Roman Empire onwards, monasteries and convents were a common sight throughout Europe. But who were monasteries for? What kind of people founded and maintained them? And how did monasticism change over the thousand years or so of the Middle Ages? Andrew Jotischky traces the history of monastic life from its origins in the fourth century to the sixteenth. He shows how religious houses sheltered the poor and elderly, cared for the sick, and educated the young. They were centres of intellectual life that owned property and exercised power but also gave rise to new developments in theology, music, and art. This book brings together the Orthodox and western stories, as well as the experiences of women, to show the full picture of medieval monasticism for the first time. It is a fascinating, wide-ranging account that broadens our understanding of life in holy orders as never before. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Andrew Jotischky Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/w9QVIagHcj55 https://devuploads.com/cqj3vt51fpdh

The Goodness Paradox by Richard Wrangham (.ePUB)
đź The Goodness Paradox by Richard Wrangham (.ePUB) We Homo sapiens can be the nicest of species and also the nastiest. What occurred during human evolution to account for this paradox? What are the two kinds of aggression that primates are prone to, and why did each evolve separately? How does the intensity of violence among humans compare with the aggressive behavior of other primates? How did humans domesticate themselves? And how were the acquisition of language and the practice of capital punishment determining factors in the rise of culture and civilization? Authoritative, provocative, and engaging, The Goodness Paradox offers a startlingly original theory of how, in the last 250 million years, humankind became an increasingly peaceful species in daily interactions even as its capacity for coolly planned and devastating violence remains undiminished. In tracing the evolutionary histories of reactive and proactive aggression, biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham forcefully and persuasively argues for the necessity of social tolerance and the control of savage divisiveness still haunting us today. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Richard Wrangham Size 1.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/UMMAST5NWldI https://devuploads.com/wgxs0hp95h89

It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like starsâespecially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant starsâa bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, with properties simultaneously similar to and different from both Earth and Neptune; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Jason Steffen Size 16MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/vrwfMk6PZhgU https://devuploads.com/rd07w4qjkbn7

US Air Power 1945-1990 by David Baker (.ePUB)
đź US Air Power 1945-1990 by David Baker (.ePUB) In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the air forces of the United States faced unprecedented challenges. Demobilization had stripped the armed forces of millions of personnel, while the rapid transition from a wartime economy strained the aviation industry at the same time as the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) was re-established as the independent US Air Force (USAF). US Air Power 1945â1990 Volume 1: US Fighters and Fighter-Bombers 1945â1949 examines this pivotal period, analyzing the first steps the USAF took to re-establish its dominance in the skies during the early Cold War era. This volume meticulously documents the political, industrial, and technical decisions that shaped the development of the USAFâs early jet fighters and fighter-bombers. It covers the transition from propeller-driven aircraft to first-generation jet designs, showcasing the radical innovations and experimental prototypes that laid the foundation for future air power. Readers will find detailed descriptions of key aircraft such as the P-80 Shooting Star, the F-86 Sabre, and the F-84 Thunderjet, which became operational despite the severe budget constraints and strategic uncertainties of the time. â»ïž Book's Info: Author David Baker Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/13lAvM599PnD https://devuploads.com/qp66bt96o86g

Hitler's Deserters by Douglas Carl Peifer (.ePUB)
đź Hitler's Deserters by Douglas Carl Peifer (.ePUB) The first English language account of deserters from the German army during World War II The German military executed between 18,000 and 22,000 of its personnel in World War II on the charges of desertion and "undermining the military spirt." This book examines who these Wehrmacht deserters were, why they deserted, what punishment they could expect, and how German military justice operated. The German army was not apolitical, but rather a pillar of the Nazi state. Although much attention has been devoted to officers within the military who resisted Hitlerâparticularly those associated with the July 1944 attempt on Hitler's lifeâfar less attention has been paid to those who refused military service or deserted during the war. While providing a full account of what constituted desertion, how it was punished, and how many were convicted for the crime, the book makes the Wehrmacht deserter its main subject. It examines their motivations and the paths they took to evade military service, ranging from hiding in the Third Reich, deserting at the front line, or fleeing to neutral Switzerland or Sweden. After the Second World War, Germans began a generation-long debate about the status that should be accorded Wehrmacht deserters. The topic would be debated between the two Germanies and engaged survivors and perpetrators, playwrights, and judges, those who had stayed in the ranks and those who had not. Was the Wehrmacht a coward, a victim, or a role model? The book's discussion of this postwar debate has no equivalent in English, as it explains how and why Germany finally decided to overturn military court-martial verdicts from the Second World War fifty years after its conclusion. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Douglas Carl Peifer Size 1.1MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/8h1JzDSVku99 https://devuploads.com/upr4xpmuxplu

đź The Vanishing Bookstore by Helen Phifer (.ePUB) âEvery story needs a happy ending. And you canât have yours until you find the bookstore.â 1692. On the outskirts of Salem, a bookstore stands covered in overgrown vines. Inside, a young woman hides a linen-wrapped journal under a loose floorboard and runs away, panicked by the sound of hounds barking in the distance. The bookstore vanishes into thin air⊠Present day. Stepping inside a pale-pink house on one of the oldest streets in Salem, Dora canât believe sheâs about to finally meet the mother she thought died tragically when she was just a child. But the excitement is short-lived. Doraâs mother has fear in her eyes, and with a trembling voice she whispers: âmy life is in danger, and now so is yoursâŠâ Desperate not to lose her mother all over again, Dora digs into her familyâs mysterious past, and stumbles upon a seemingly impossible secret: the key to their survival is hidden in a bookstore that no one has seen for generations. Losing herself amongst thorny brackens and twisted ferns, Dora eventually finds the path that leads to the bookstore. But someone is watching her. Theyâve been waiting for her. As she pushes open the beautiful blue door hidden amongst the sharp brambles, and stands in front of rows of crumbling leatherbound books with faded pages, she has no idea of the secrets she is about to uncover. Or that her life is in more danger than ever before⊠â»ïž Book's Info: Author Helen Phifer Size 1.5MB Category Fiction > Romance File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/q7xJNygCi5ic https://devuploads.com/divgoswjmpj7
