📮 A Tale of Two Bridges by Stephen Mikesell (.ePUB) A Tale of Two Bridges is a history of two versions of the San Francisco—Oakland Bay Bridge: the original bridge built in 1936 and a replacement for the eastern half of the bridge finished in 2013. The 1936 bridge revolutionized transportation in the Bay Area and profoundly influenced settlement patterns in the region. It was also a remarkable feat of engineering. In the 1950s the American Society of Civil Engineers adopted a list of the “Seven Engineering Wonders” of the United States. The 1936 structure was the only bridge on the list, besting even the more famous Golden Gate Bridge. One of its greatest achievements was that it was built on time (in less than three years) and came in under budget. Mikesell explores in fascinating detail how the bridge was designed by a collection of the best-known engineers in the country as well as the heroic story of its construction by largely unskilled laborers from California, joined by highly skilled steel workers. By contrast, the East Span replacement, which was planned between 1989 and 1998, and built between 1998 and 2013, fell victim to cost overruns in the billions of dollars, was a decade behind schedule, and suffered from structural problems that has made it a perpetual maintenance nightmare. This is narrative history in its purest form. Mikesell excels at explaining highly technical engineering issues in language that can be understood and appreciated by general readers. Here is the story of two very important bridges, which provides a fair but uncompromising analysis of why one bridge succeeded and the other did not. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Stephen Mikesell Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/AkvjCdjoY2wO https://devuploads.com/nrpzunl0j2kd

📮 Fictions of Art History by Mark Ledbury (.PDF) Fictions of Art History, the most recent addition to the Clark Studies in the Visual Arts series, addresses art history’s complex relationships with fiction, poetry, and creative writing. Inspired by a 2010 conference, the volume examines art historians’ viewing practices and modes of writing. How, the contributors ask, are we to unravel the supposed facts of history from the fictions constructed in works of art? How do art historians employ or resist devices of fiction, and what are the effects of those choices on the reader? In styles by turns witty, elliptical, and plain-speaking, the essays in Fictions of Art History are fascinating and provocative critical interventions in art history. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Mark Ledbury Size 4MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Oh63YNAPChJP https://devuploads.com/i36rv9uwk9yj

📮 The New Space by Christopher Long (.PDF) Scholars have long stressed the problem of ornament and expression when considering Viennese modernism. By the first decade of the 20th century, however, the avant-garde had shifted its focus from the surface to the interior. Adolf Loos (1870–1933), together with Josef Frank (1885–1967) and Oskar Strnad (1879–1935), led this generation of architects to interpret modernism through culture and lifestyle. They were interested in the experience of architectural space: how it could be navigated, inhabited, and designed to reflect the modern way of life while also offering respite from it. The New Space traces the theoretical conversation about space carried out in the writings and built works of Loos, Frank, and Strnad over four decades. The three ultimately explored what Le Corbusier would later—independently—term the architectural promenade. Lavishly illustrated with new photography and architectural plans, this important book enhances our understanding of the development of modernism and of architectural theory and practice. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Christopher Long Size 29MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/XZx2OeQZuABC https://devuploads.com/h2zfyw0aabpq

📮 Fragments and Assemblages by Arthur Bahr (.ePUB) In Fragments and Assemblages, Arthur Bahr expands the ways in which we interpret medieval manuscripts, examining the formal characteristics of both physical manuscripts and literary works. Specifically, Bahr argues that manuscript compilations from fourteenth-century London reward interpretation as both assemblages and fragments: as meaningfully constructed objects whose forms and textual contents shed light on the city’s literary, social, and political cultures, but also as artifacts whose physical fragmentation invites forms of literary criticism that were unintended by their medieval makers. Such compilations are not simply repositories of data to be used for the reconstruction of the distant past; their physical forms reward literary and aesthetic analysis in their own right. The compilations analyzed reflect the full vibrancy of fourteenth-century London’s literary cultures: the multilingual codices of Edwardian civil servant Andrew Horn and Ricardian poet John Gower, the famous Auchinleck manuscript of texts in Middle English, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. By reading these compilations as both formal shapes and historical occurrences, Bahr uncovers neglected literary histories specific to the time and place of their production. The book offers a less empiricist way of interpreting the relationship between textual and physical form that will be of interest to a wide range of literary critics and manuscript scholars. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Arthur Bahr Size 10MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/nT3BP1R6SpYJ https://devuploads.com/bn2fm09ywury

📮 Demystifying NoSQL by Seema Acharya (.ePUB) NoSQL databases are non-relational, open-source, distributed, schema-less, and cluster friendly databases. They are hugely popular today owing to their ability to scale out or scale horizontally and the adeptness at dealing with a rich variety of data: structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. They are malleable and flexible enough to accommodate sparse datasets, besides maintaining cost efficiency and availability. The last few years have been witness to a burgeoning growth of data. Developers are working with applications that create massive volumes of new, rapidly changing data types – structured, semi-structured, unstructured and polymorphic data. Applications that once served a finite audience are now delivered as services that must be always-on, accessible from many different devices and scaled globally to millions of users. Organizations are now turning to scale-out architectures using open source software, commodity servers and cloud computing instead of large monolithic servers and storage infrastructure. Increasingly being used in big data and real-time web applications are NoSQL databases. NoSQL are the “Not only SQL” databases, implying that they support SQL-like query languages, or sit alongside SQL databases in polyglot persistent architectures. This book is for all interested in learning about NoSQL databases. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Seema Acharya Size 10.3MB Category Non-Fiction > Tech & Devices File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/NOIceIXpO1N8 https://devuploads.com/demgyr12x99h

📮 Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico (.ePUB) A scathing, provocative novel about contemporary existence by a rising star in Italian literature. Anna and Tom, an expat couple, have fashioned a dream life for themselves in Berlin. They are young digital “creatives” exploring the excitements of the city, freelancers without too many constraints, who spend their free time cultivating house plants and their images online. At first, they reasonably deduce that they’ve turned their passion for aesthetics into a viable, even enviable career, but the years go by, and Anna and Tom grow bored. As their friends move back home or move on, so their own work and sex life—and the life of Berlin itself—begin to lose their luster. An attempt to put their politics into action fizzles in embarrassed self-doubt. Edging closer to forty, they try living as digital nomads only to discover that, wherever they go, “the brand of oat milk in their flat whites was the same.” Perfection—Vincenzo Latronico’s first book to be translated into English—is a scathing novel about contemporary existence, a tale of two people gradually waking up to find themselves in various traps, wondering how it all came to be. Was it a lack of foresight, or were they just born too late? ♻️ Book's Info: Author Vincenzo Latronico Size 127KB Category Fiction > General Fiction/Classics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: [UK] https://uploda.sh/dCgBecbu2dIi https://devuploads.com/mx8s8e86l7a3

📮 A Textbook of Digital Signal Processing by R.S. Kaler (.PDF) This book presents theoretical and application topics in digital signal processing (DSP). The field of digital signal processing (DSP) has grown as an important field of study both theoretically and technologically, over the last few decades. The main reason for this succes of DSP in the industry is due to development and use of low cost software and hardware with exciting practical applications. DSP algorithms have given rise to new range of applications in the technological development that includes microprocessors, microcontrollers and digital signal processors. These developments have a major impact on several disciplines such as electronics engineering, computer engineering, biomedical engineering and information technology. It has become a necessity that all technologists / engineers should be familiar with digital signals and systems and basic DSP techniques so that they can use DSP in their applications. The topics here comprise clever DSP "tricks of the trade" not covered in traditional DSP textbooks. This book is composed of the contents directed at engineering students and Faculties. Here we go beyond the standard DSP fundamentals textbook and present new, but tried-n-true, clever implementations of digital filter design, spectrum analysis, signal generation, high-speed function approximation, and various other DSP functions. With this book, we wished to create a resource that is relevant to the needs of the working DSP engineer by helping bridge the theory-to-practice gap between introductory DSP textbooks and the esoteric, difficult-to-understand, academic journals. The goal of this book is to make the practising-DSP engineer reader say well, while this book will be useful to experienced DSP engineers. ♻️ Book's Info: Author R.S.

📮 Thou Savage Woman by Blessin Adams (.ePUB) LADY KILLERS AND FEMME FATALES – STORIES OF MURDER MOST FOUL – HAVE GRIPPED PUBLIC IMAGINATION FOR CENTURIES Early Modern Britain was awash with pamphlets, ballads, woodcuts broadcasting bloodthirsty tales of traitorous wives, greedy mistresses, cunning female poisoning lacing the supper with deadly substances; of child killers and spiteful witches, stories of women wholly and unnaturally wicked. These were printed or sung, tacked the walls of alehouses, sold in the streets for pennies and read voraciously to thrill all. But why? When the vast majority of murders then (and now) are committed by men. In this bold, page-turning new history, former police officer and historian Blessin Adams tells stories of women whose violent crimes shattered the narrow confines of their gender – and whose notoriety revealed a society that was at once repulsed by and attracted to murderous female rebellion. Based on detailed research in court archives, each chapter explores murders that thrilled and terrified the British public; the crimes that caused the most concern and provoked the most debate. Women in this period killed rarely, and when they did it was usually within the context of extreme provocation or domestic violence. Adams has the ability of the best crime novelists in recreating the setting in which each case occurred as well as the motivations of each perpetrator. Thou Savage Woman reminds us that women in the past had voices, that they sought to control their bodies and their environments and that they also had the capacity for committing acts of unspeakable violence. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Blessin Adams Size 900KB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/v3sDwBv1kdcI https://devuploads.com/m911oyi5n2w3

📮 The Mercian Chronicles by Max Adams (.ePUB) A brilliant recreation of the golden age of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia – its landscapes, peoples, conflicts, power structures and political geography. The eighth century has long been a neglected backwater in English history: a shadowland between the death of Bede and the triumphs of Ælfred. But before the hegemony of Wessex, the kingdom of Mercia - spread across a broad swathe of central England – was the dynamic heart of a kingship that discovered the means to exercise central political authority for the first time since the Roman empire. That authority was used to construct trading networks and markets; develop economic and cultural links with the Continent, and lay the foundations for a system of co-ordinated defence that Ælfred would reinvent at the end of the ninth century. Two kings, Æthelbald (716–757) and Offa (757–796) dominate the political landscape of the rising power of Mercia. During their reigns, monasteries became powerhouses of royal patronage, economic enterprise and trade. Offa constructed his grandiose dyke along the borders of the warlike Welsh kingdoms and, more subtly, spread his message of political superiority through coinage bearing his image. But Æthelbald and Offa between them built something with an even more substantial legacy – a geography of medieval England. And they engineered a set of tensions between kingship, landholding and church that were to play out dramatically at the dawn of the Viking Age. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Max Adams Size 27MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/UMSSabsjaddL https://devuploads.com/4a5vwpk9upht

Or perhaps you yourself have said 'Mummy's on a diet so she can't eat that' or 'Daddy is fat, you don't want to be like me'. We may not realise, but we are constantly communicating our thoughts on food to our children. As we navigate picky eating and high emotions at mealtimes as well as puberty, diet culture, body image and eating disorders - now more than ever, we need to change the way we communicate about food to our children and ourselves. So how do we help children develop and nurture a healthy relationship with food? Clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist Dr Anna Colton guides you through a judgement- and shame-free journey from pregnancy to a child's adolescence with accessible scientific and psychological understandings. She shows you how you've formed your relationship with food and gives you the practical, evidence-based tools to instil in children a positive relationship with eating. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Anna Colton Size 5MB Category Non-Fiction > Health, Fitness & Self-help File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Ngyd6ldaLlMB https://devuploads.com/vnoue6mgacm2

📮 Blood & Tacos #1 by Johnny Shaw (.ePUB) There was a time when paperback racks were full of men’s adventure series. Next to the Louis L’Amours, one could find the adventures of The Executioner, the Destroyer, the Death Merchant, and many more action heroes that were hell-bent on bringing America back from the brink. That time was the 1970s & ’80s. A bygone era filled with wide-eyed innocence and mustaches. Those stories are back! The new quarterly magazine Blood & Tacos is bringing back the action, the fun, and the adventure. Also, the mustaches. In each issue of Blood & Tacos, some of today’s hottest crime writers will choose an era and create a new pulp hero and deliver a brand-new adventure. Each issue will include 5-6 stories featuring action-packed mayhem written in the style of that bygone era. The stories might not always be politically correct, but whether satire or homage, they will deliver on every page. Fast and fun, action and adventure, Blood & Tacos. If the stories weren’t enough, Blood & Tacos will also feature fine pulpy art, reviews of some of the fine (and not so fine) novels from the same period, and maybe even a recipe or two. So enjoy this serving of Blood & Tacos. And remember, if it’s too cheesy, it’s a quesadilla. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Johnny Shaw Size 0.35MB Category Fiction > Mystery/Thriller File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/GeO5UsdSiDQn https://devuploads.com/av9375a04sn7

📮 More Than Just a Dog by Simon Wooler (.ePUB) This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog. They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. Simon Wooler, trainer to social media’s most famous fearful dog, Sophie from Romania, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. He explores how over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. He explains how dogs learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. He unpacks the problems of fear and reactivity and with insight and humour acts as a guide for all dog lovers navigating life’s changes and challenges. Demystifying the science of dog behaviour and debunking the sticky myths that all too often can get in the way of understanding, this is a celebration of the joy of life with dogs in all its messy, loveable reality. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Simon Wooler Size 1.3MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/tx3cvwixewhA https://devuploads.com/vq8scut2zveg
