Scars of the Spirit by Geoffrey Hartman (.ePUB)
đź Scars of the Spirit by Geoffrey Hartman (.ePUB) In this fascinating collection of essays, noted cultural critic Geoffrey Hartman raises the essential question of where we can find the real or authentic in today's world, and how this affects the way we can understand our human predicament. Hartman explores such issues as the fantasy of total and perfect information available on the Internet, the biographical excesses of tell-all daytime talk shows, and how we can understand what is "true" in biographical and testimonial writing. And, what, he asks, is the ethical point of all this personal testimony? What has it really taught us? Underlying the entire book is a question of how the Holocaust has shaped the possibilities for truth and for the writing of an authentic life story in today's world, and how we can approach the world in a meaningful way. Hartman produces a meditation on how an appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of art and writing may help us to answer these questions of meaning. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Geoffrey Hartman Size 900KB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/3Hg65upZUXEf https://devuploads.com/ng7rx27x7bnd

In Case of Loss by Lutz Seiler (.ePUB)
đź In Case of Loss by Lutz Seiler (.ePUB) In Case of Loss gathers the best of Lutz Seiler's non-fiction from the last twenty-five years, revealing essays that are different to, but on a par with, his fiction and poetry. Seiler's anecdotal and associative pieces throw fascinating light on literature and his background, not least the environmental and human catastrophe of the Soviet-era mining in the community he grew up in, âthe tired villages . . . beneath which lay the ore, uraniumâ. Other essays focus on poetry, including his awakening to it while waiting in an army truck on his military service, and there are pieces on German poets such as Ernst Meister, JĂŒrgen Becker and Peter Huchel. The title essay describes the poet Huchel's notebook, a kind of dictionary of images organised by mood and location. Providing a perfect entry to Seiler's work, In Case of Loss sees one of Europe's most original writers speak with openness and insight in essays full of a poet's attention to the importance of often overlooked objects and lives. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Lutz Seiler Size 1.5MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/N7COKsZ2tkRF https://devuploads.com/crirfkhcim3a

Modern API Design with gRPC by Hitesh Pattanayak (.ePUB)+
đź Modern API Design with gRPC by Hitesh Pattanayak (.ePUB)+ Elevate Your Development with Effortless and Efficient API Communication. âModern API Design with gRPCâ is a definitive guide that empowers developers to leverage the full potential of gRPC in constructing efficient and scalable distributed systems. Beginning with an exploration of API evolution and its significance in software development, the book seamlessly transitions into the core concepts of gRPC architecture, protocol buffers, and stubs. Through practical examples and clear instructions, readers embark on a journey to establish their first gRPC server and client, laying a solid groundwork for further exploration. An API, or âApplication Programming Interface,â serves as a bridge between software components. I personally perceive the origin of APIs in the pursuit of âCode Reusability,â akin to the motivation behind crafting functions. What sets APIs apart from functions is their inherent âRemote-ness,â where APIs are stationed at network-accessible locations. This book caters to intermediate to advanced software developers and programmers aiming to enhance their expertise in modern API development using gRPC. Prior familiarity with fundamental software development concepts and proficiency in at least one programming language such as C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C# are recommended to fully comprehend the concepts presented in this guide. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Hitesh Pattanayak Size 10MB Category Non-Fiction > Tech & Devices File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/WmPyrwpemXEp https://devuploads.com/ng58be85ohzf

Defining Islam by Andrew Rippin (.ePUB)
đź Defining Islam by Andrew Rippin (.ePUB) Ever since a group of people came into existence who called themselves Muslims and followed Islam, questions of what it means to be a member of this group - who is to be included/excluded and what the requirements for membership are - have proven to be both divisive and defining. For scholars and critics, the issue of what constitutes or defines 'Islam' - whether examining the history of the religion, its specific traditions, sectarian politics, or acts of terrorist - is central to any understanding of issues, cultures and ideas. 'Defining Islam' brings together key classic and contemporary writings on the nature of Islam to provide student readers with the ideal collection of both primary and critical sources. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Andrew Rippin Size 600KB Category Non-Fiction > Faith, Beliefs & Philosophy File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/pAaMNHdKQ7bt https://devuploads.com/mmm0981hw74d

Big Name Fan by Ruthie Knox & Annie Mare (.ePUB)
đź Big Name Fan by Ruthie Knox & Annie Mare (.ePUB) A perfect story for every Rizzoli and Isles fan who rooted for the leads to get together, this new novel is also ideal for fans of Only Murders in the Building and books like Spoiler Alert, with a co-stars to lovers pair reunited after years apart and a murder to investigate behind the scenes in Hollywood. Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer aren't detectives, but they play them on TV. Well, played, past tense. The iconic cult hit that was Craven's Daughter ended five years ago, and their friendship died along with it. Fans were disappointed that the pair's legendary chemistry went unfulfilledâand other fans were crushed that the actual spark between actressesBex and Sam didn't pay off, either. The network never intended for two women to get romantic, in life or onscreen, despite the fans. But the bigger tragedy was the loss of their dear friend, makeup artist Jen Arnot, whose accidental death cast a pall over the series' last episodes. Now the network has decided on a reunion special, and Bex and Sam are thrust together once more as hosts of a rewatch podcast that will feature favorite episodes. Their first guestâa megawatt star who played a murder victim early onâdrops a bombshell. Among the millions of pixels of fanfic written about the show online, one truly prolific author, known in the fiction world as the show's Big Name Fan, was an insider, almost certainly someone from the cast or crew. As the podcast moves alongâand the spark between Bex and Sam threatens to burn down the studioâthe pair realize they're faced with two actual mysteries: Who is their Big Name Fan? And was Jen's death an accident, or did someone want her dead? Sifting through clues as they question cast and crew, the duo will need to separate fact from fiction as they make their personal partnership into an unmistakable canon . . . â»ïž Book's Info: Author Ruthie Knox & Annie Mare Size 685KB Category Romance, Suspense File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/8hiiBjstdgNO https://devuploads.com/lf8urouqek8l

All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America by Michael Wolff (.ePUB)
đź All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America by Michael Wolff (.ePUB) The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fire and Fury delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaignâundoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents. All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be clearer: Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment. What soon emerges is a split-screen reality: On one side, a picture that could not be worse for Trump: an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political outlook: overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trumpâs inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Michael Wolff Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/35jwCTH9CvQC https://devuploads.com/hy8n8i010ath

đź A Slash of Emerald by Patrice McDonough (.ePUB) In a riveting new novel in a Victorian-set mystery series brimming with authentic atmosphere, Doctor Julia Lewis, Scotland Yardâs first female medical examiner, and her partner, Detective Inspector Richard Tennant, investigate a string of murders in the art world. London, 1867: Among the genteel young ladies of London society, painting is a perfectly acceptable pastimeâbut a woman who dares to pursue art as a profession is another prospect, indeed. Dr. Julia Lewis, familiar with the disrespect afforded women in untraditional careers, is hardly surprised when Scotland Yard shows little interest in complaints made by her friend, Mary Allingham, about a break-in at her art studio. Mary is just one of many âlady paintersâ being targeted by vandals. Paintersâ sitters are vanishing, tooâwomen viewed by some as dispensable outcasts. Inspector Richard Tennant, however, takes the attacks seriously, suspecting theyâre linked to the poison-pen letters received by additional members of the Allingham family. For Julia, the issue is complicated by Tennantâs previous relationship with Maryâs sister-in-law, Louisa, and by her own surprising reaction to that entanglement. But when someone close to them commits suicide and a young woman turns up dead, the case can no longer be so easily ignored by ârespectableâ society. Layer after layer, Julia and Tennant scrape away the facts of the case like paint from a canvas. What emerges is a somber picture of vice, depravity, and deception stretching from Londonâs East End to the Far Eastâwith a killer at its center, determined to get away with one last, grisly murder . . . â»ïž Book's Info: Author Patrice Mcdonough Size 751KB Category Mystery/Thriller File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PKy4kHjFgM1w https://devuploads.com/cegw1i3bzqyh

The Prosecutor by Jack Fairweather (.ePUB)
đź The Prosecutor by Jack Fairweather (.ePUB) From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Volunteer, the powerful true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after World War II to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the shadowy, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitlerâs former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer landed on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he wouldnât be intimidated. His journey took him deep into the dark heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice would set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies bent on silencing him. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Jack Fairweather Size 90MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PhXBw65EnNsO https://devuploads.com/mg5flqri8imv

Indeed, Sanderâs androgynous beauty and deft portrayal of female roles have made him the toast of London, and his companionship is sought by noblewomen and -men alike.

Dumps and landfills around the world are overflowing. Disputes about what to do with the millions of tons of garbage generated every day have given rise to waste wars waged almost everywhere you look. Some are border skirmishes. Others hustle trash across thousands of miles and multiple oceans. But no matter the scale, one thing is true about almost all of them: few people have any idea they're happening. Journalist Alexander Clapp spent two years roaming five continents to report deep inside the world of Javanese recycling gangsters, cruise ship dismantlers in the Aegean, Tanzanian plastic pickers, whistle-blowing environmentalists throughout the jungles of Guatemala, and a community of Ghanaian boys who burn Western cellphones and televisions for cents an hour, to tell readers what he has figured out: While some trash gets tossed onto roadsides or buried underground, much of it actually lives a secret hot potato second life, getting shipped, sold, re-sold, or smuggled from one country to another, often with devastating consequences for the poorest nations of the world. â»ïž Book's Info: Author Alexander Clapp(.Epub) Size 5MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife of Your Trash by Alexander Clapp(.ePUB đ„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/XtWWURH1DCSY https://devuploads.com/zu0ybl2ay641
