Winter Memories by Ember Davis (.ePUB)
š® Winter Memories by Ember Davis (.ePUB) FLETCHER Limitless Ranch has been my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there wasnāt a question that the ranch would become my responsibility, and I never once resented it. I knew how important Limitless is to the family and loved the history that lives beside me on our land with the horses we raise. Along with my brothers, weāve built something that Iām proud of, something thatāll last for another four generations. No matter how much I love it, running Limitless hasnāt been without sacrifice. Fifteen years ago, I had a choice to make, and I decided to stay on my familyās land to take over the ranch. When I stayed, I encouraged Eden, the only woman Iāve ever loved, to go to college and follow her dreams knowing I couldnāt follow. I was overly confident and sure nothing would change, but I couldnāt account for what time and distance would do to us. Iāve tried to move on, but it was impossible because Eden has owned my heart since we were kids. After hoping for years that she would show back up and our paths would cross again, I let her go and threw myself into Limitless. Suddenly, Eden is back with a three-year-old hiding behind her legs. Seeing her again makes me realize I never truly lost hope and thereās no way Iām not getting Eden back. Sheās always been mine and now itās time to make sure she knows it. EDEN Itās hard to admit when youāve taken a wrong turn in life. You wake up one day to realize nothing is how it should be, and you have no idea where you are or how you got there. In some ways, Iām lucky because I knew where I need to go. Iām not sure what going back home, to the last place that made sense, will feel like. Wintervale is different, but also the same in many ways. Maybe Iām the one who has changed. Iām a mom now and my three-year-old, Macklin, is my world. Being with his father was a mistake, but Iāll never regret having my son. Seeing the boy next door, well, as next door as you can get when thereās acres of land between your houses, all grown up is a revelation. Fletcher Burns looks better now than he did back in high school when I fell madly in love with him before my choice to leave home wrecked us. Even with all the history between us my soul still belongs to him. The fire in his eyes when he looks at me makes me wonder if itās not too late for the memories of our past to make way for the future we always hoped for. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Ember Davis Size 5.5MB Category Fiction > Romance File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/hJLSCPrDBl27 https://devuploads.com/jg7b9a25mlxq

Royal Mysteries of Anglo-Saxons by Timothy Venning (.ePUB)
š® Royal Mysteries of Anglo-Saxons by Timothy Venning (.ePUB) Royal mysteries never fail to intrigue readers and TV viewers. The 'mysteries', unraveled and analyzed, are of enduring fascination and full of tragedy, suffering and pathos but also heroism and romance. This text is based on deep research in original sources including rare documents, archaeological and DNA evidence, latest historiography and academic research but is essentially accessible history. These are the 'Dark Ages', but Anglo-Saxon enlightenment is emphasized. The Heptarchy, with seven Anglo-Saxon states is examined and Alfred's victory over the Vikings and emergence of the English kingdom. But mystery surrounds all aspects of dynastic, political and military history. The story includes the surviving British and Welsh kingdoms when 'Welsh' meant 'foreigner, the Gaelic kingdoms in what became Scotland, the survival of lowland 'Britons' under the Germanic Anglo-Saxon radar - a new interpretation of early English society in its shadowy forms with the half-mythical founders of the early English kingdoms like Hengist of Kent or Cerdic of Wessex, up to William duke of Normandy - did he have any legitimate claim to justify his 'power-grab'? Some episodes have dropped out of history like the murder the teen-age King Edward the 'Martyr', but here is a re-telling of early mysteries based on close analysis of the myriad sources while stimulating romantic fascination. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Timothy Venning Size 13MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/9vthIzkPsJWC https://devuploads.com/81610tczyfhf

The Feeling of Space by Christopher Bardt (.ePUB)
š® The Feeling of Space by Christopher Bardt (.ePUB) A richly illustrated exploration of humanityās drive to shape life as a spatial project, from Platoās time to the digital era. Place is something real, but space is generally conceived as abstract and immaterial. In The Feeling of Space, Christopher Bardt explores this damaging modern binary and traces the contradictory impulses that have dematerialized our sense of space through history: fear and wonder; a yearning for the infinite and intimate; and the need for autonomy and belonging. Using rich illustrations and examinations of art, technology, and philosophy, Bardt argues that if we can get back to first feeling space, then we can treat space as the substance that gives agency to our intersubjectivityāthe exchange of conscious and unconscious thoughts we have with others. Expertly connecting ideas with clear examples from lived experiences, Bardtās revolutionary framework will appeal to a broad readership, particularly those who are interested in the theoretical and philosophical aspects of spaces. In an age where digital media has dissolved, instead of increased, our sense of connection, The Feeling of Space shows that when we learn to experience space as a medium as real as a place, we not only see ourselves as inherently spatialized beings, but we can also rebuild the bonds that tie us together. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Christopher Bardt Size 133MB Category Non-Fiction > Faith, Beliefs & Philosophy File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/4tVkicDdW7PQ https://devuploads.com/vd15y83z6wrv

The Ukimwi Road: From Kenya to Zimbabwe by Dervla Murphy (.ePUB)
š® The Ukimwi Road: From Kenya to Zimbabwe by Dervla Murphy (.ePUB) Allowing herself several months to unwind, Dervla Murphy, at sixty, set off on a three-thousand-mile bike ride from Kenya to Zimbabwe via Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. She soon realized that, for travellers in search of tranquillity, Africa is best avoided. Beguiled by the loquacious people she met, she was nevertheless preoccupied by their immense hardships: the devastating effects of AIDS (or ukimwi as it's called in Swahili); drought and economic collapse; scepticism about Western aid schemes; and corruption and incompetence. During her journey, Murphy was sustained by her extraordinary thirst for adventure. Despite being beaten by paramilitaries, and having to endure starvation and a bout of malaria, her deeply personal, compassionate and often humorous description of East Africa and its peoples is high-spirited and hugely compelling. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Dervla Murphy Size 900KB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ucKmBJfKIgl6 https://devuploads.com/1wpewhtwf6u6

Barroco and Other Writings by Severo Sarduy (.ePUB)
š® Barroco and Other Writings by Severo Sarduy (.ePUB) Severo Sarduy was among the most important figures in twentieth-century Latin American fiction and a major representative of the literary tendency to which he gave the name Neobaroque. While most of Sarduy's literary work is available in English, his theoretical writings have largely remained untranslated. This volumeāpresenting Sarduy's central theoretical contribution, Barroco (1974), alongside other related worksāremedies that oversight. Barroco marks a watershed in postwar thought on the Baroque, both in French post-structuralism and in the Latin American context. Sarduy traces a double history, reading events in the history of science alongside developments in the history of art, architecture, and literature. What emerges is a theory of the Baroque as decentering and displacement, as supplement and excess, a theory capacious enough to account for the old European Baroque as well as its queer, Latin American and global futures. In addition to Barroco, this volume includes texts spanning Sarduy's career, from 1960s essays published originally in Tel Quel to late works from the 1980s and '90s. It thus offers a complete picture of Sarduy's thinking on the Baroque. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Severo Sarduy Size 8MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/OvfkcZqFPtLL https://devuploads.com/o02bo3d3jpfz

Civilisations by Mary Beard (.ePUB)
š® Civilisations by Mary Beard (.ePUB) Companion to the major new BBC documentary series CIVILISATIONS, presented by Mary Beard, David Olusoga and Simon Schama The idea of 'civilisation' has always been debated, even fought over. At the heart of those debates lies the big question of how people - from prehistory to the present day - have depicted themselves and others, both human and divine. Distinguished historian Mary Beard explores how art has shaped, and been shaped by, the people who created it. How have we looked at these images? Why have they sometimes been so contentious? In Part One, she examines how the human figure was portrayed in some of the earliest art in the world - from the gigantic stone heads carved by the Olmec of Central America to the statues and pottery of the ancient Greeks to the terracotta army of the first emperor of China. And she explains how one particular version of representing the human body, which goes back to the ancient world, still influences (and sometimes distorts) how people in the West see their own culture and that of others. Throughout this story, she is concerned not only with the artists who made images, but with those who have used them, viewed them and interpreted them. In other words: How Do We Look? In Part Two, Mary Beard turns to the relationship between art and religion. For centuries, religion has inspired art: from the Hindu temple at Angkor Wat to the Christian mosaics of Ravenna to the exquisite calligraphy of Islamic mosques. But making the divine visible in the human world has never been simple. All religions have wrestled with idolatry and iconoclasm, destroying art as well as creating it - and asking how to look with The Eye of Faith. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Mary Beard Size 22MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ijKq5HNAgfR1 https://devuploads.com/hnc9qz0j2yq6

A History of Ancient Britain by Neil Oliver (.ePUB)
š® A History of Ancient Britain by Neil Oliver (.ePUB) Who were the first Britons, and what sort of world did they occupy? In A History of Ancient Britain Neil Oliver turns a spotlight on the very beginnings of the story of Britain; on the first people to occupy these islands and their battle for survival. There has been human habitation in Britain, regularly interrupted by Ice Ages, for the best part of a million years. The last retreat of the glaciers 12,000 years ago brought a new and warmer age and with it, one of the greatest tsunamis recorded on Earth which struck the north-east of Britain, devastating the population and flooding the low-lying plains of what is now the North Sea. The resulting island became, in time, home to a diverse range of cultures and peoples who have left behind them some of the most extraordinary and enigmatic monuments in the world. Through what is revealed by the artefacts of the past, Neil Oliver weaves the epic story - half -a-million years of human history up to the departure of the Roman Empire in the Fifth Century AD. It was a period which accounts for more than ninety-nine per cent of humankind's presence on these islands. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Neil Oliver Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/EwOaCT3Obfq2 https://devuploads.com/cunrqurnwwhw

Chaco's Northern Prodigies AD 1100 by Paul F Reed (.PDF)
š® Chaco's Northern Prodigies AD 1100 by Paul F Reed (.PDF) In the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, the ancient pueblo sites of Aztec and Salmon in the Middle San Juan region rapidly emerged as population and political centers during the closing stages of Chacoās ascendancy. Some archaeologists have attributed the development of these centers to migration and colonization by people from Chaco Canyon. Others have suggested that the so-called Chacoan 'system' was largely the result of emulation of Chacoan characteristics by local groups in outlying areas. Research over the last five years in the Middle San Juan suggests that both of these processes were operating. Work by two groups of contributors resulted in this synthetic volume, which interprets thirty-five years of research at Salmon Ruins. Chacoās Northern Prodigies also puts recent work at Salmon Ruins in the context of Middle San Juan archaeological research. It is a timely synopsis of the archaeology of this region of the Southwest. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Paul F Reed Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/J0t1zAPGSQQz https://devuploads.com/7q4qni9si2tp

Nels Andersonās World War I Diary by Allan Kent Powell (.PDF)
š® Nels Andersonās World War I Diary by Allan Kent Powell (.PDF) Nels Andersonās World War I Diary provides a rare glimpse into the wartime experiences of one of the most well-respected sociologists of the twentieth century, the renowned author of The Hobo (1920) and Desert Saints: The Mormon Frontier in Utah (1942). Anderson, a keen observer of people, places, and events his entire life, joined the U.S. Army in 1918 at the age of 29 and was sent to Europe to fight as part of the Allied Expeditionary Force (AEF) under General Pershing. Because keeping a journal was strongly discouraged among American forces during WWI, particularly among the rank-and-file soldiers, Andersonās diary stands as a rare gem. Furthermore, it is the only known account of war service during WWI by a member of the LDS Church. Anderson joined the Mormon faith after accepting the hospitality of an extended Mormon ranching family during his travels throughout the American West as a working hobo. Andersonās accounts of the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives are particularly remarkable given the challenges of keeping a detailed journal amidst the chaos and suffering of the warās Western Front. His insights into the depravity and callousness of war are buttressed with intimate human portraits of those to whom he was closest. The war years provided many formative experiences that would prove to have a lasting influence on Andersonās views regarding the working poor, authority, and human values; this would come to bear heavily on his later work as a pioneering sociologist at the University of Chicago, where he helped establish participant observation as a research method. The many introspective entries contained in this volume will be of reat interest to military historians and history buffs as well as to those in the social sciences looking to find the intellectual origins of Andersonās later work in the burgeoning field of sociology.

Cum Posey of the Homestead Grays by James E. Overmyer (.ePUB)
š® Cum Posey of the Homestead Grays by James E. Overmyer (.ePUB) Cumberland Posey began his career in 1911 playing outfield for the Homestead Grays, a local black team in his Pennsylvania hometown. He soon became the squad's driving force as they dominated semi-pro ball in the Pittsburgh area. By the late 1930s the Grays were at the top of the Negro Leagues with nine straight pennant wins. Posey was also a League officer; he served 13 years as the first black member of the Homestead school board; and he wrote an outspoken sports column for the African American weekly, the Pittsburgh Courier. He was regarded as one of the best black basketball players in the East; he was the organizer of a team that held the consensus national black championship five years running. Ten years after his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, he became a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame--one of only two athletes to be honored by two pro sports halls. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author James E.

š® Quantum Mechanics with Applications by David B. Beard (.ePUB) This introductory text emphasizes Feynman's development of path integrals and its application to wave theory for particles. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students of physics, the well-written, clear, and rigorous text was written by two of the nation's leading authorities on quantum physics. A solid foundation in quantum mechanics and atomic physics is assumed. Early chapters provide background in the mathematical treatment and particular properties of ordinary wave motion that also apply to particle motion. The close relation of quantum theory to physical optics is stressed. Subsequent sections emphasize the physical consequences of a wave theory of material properties, and they offer extensive applications in atomic physics, nuclear physics, solid state physics, and diatomic molecules. Four helpful Appendixes supplement the text. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author David B.

Primer of Quantum Mechanics by Marvin Chester (.ePUB)
š® Primer of Quantum Mechanics by Marvin Chester (.ePUB) What does quantum mechanics tell us about the key model physical systems of nature? The author of this highly regarded text explores this question in a conceptual manner, fusing mathematical and philosophical elements to present physical imagery that closely parallels the mathematics. Beginning with an overview that discusses the premise and design for the study, the text proceeds with an examination of the classical quantum bead on a track: its states and representations; its measurement spectra as operator eigenvalues; the harmonic oscillator: bound bead in a symmetric force field; and the bead in a spherical shell. Other topics include spin, matrices, and the structure of quantum mechanics; the simplest atom; indistinguishable particles; and stationary-state perturbation theory. Geared toward upper-level undergraduate students in physics, this refreshing and instructive text requires the following background: a freshman-year survey course in physics, a first course in classical Newtonian mechanics, and a grasp of mathematics that encompasses integral calculus, vector analysis, differential equations, complex numbers, and Fourier analysis. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Marvin Chester Size 4.5MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/cqJCsRbpv21j https://devuploads.com/lcg0w93mi627

Software Engineering: Survival Guide by Roberto Monje Peinado (.ePUB)+
š® Software Engineering: Survival Guide by Roberto Monje Peinado (.ePUB)+ Software engineering involves applying engineering practices to building software products. To teach it, it is common to resort to detailed methodological processes and endless lists of all types of techniques. Learners get lost in a thicket of tools, activities, deliverables and standards. The trees don't let them see the forest. This book explains software engineering concisely, focusing on principles and not processes. It aims to highlight the essential and hide the accessory. You will not find long methodological explanations in this book. Excellence in software building does not rest on the methodology used to carry out the necessary activities, but on the proper understanding of the fundamentals of these activities. This book offers a more adaptive than predictive perspective, aligning it with the common and industry-accepted modern point of view. The predictive vision is presented in a historical manner, to help understand the motivation for current techniques and practices. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Roberto Monje Peinado Size 10MB Category Non-Fiction > Tech & Devices File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/9L6rza44gEv3 https://devuploads.com/5fhqp3oxw8uu
