English | ISBN: 9811909156 | 2023 | 350 pages | EPUB | 19 MB
This book charts the roller coaster ride taken by the authors over the past 33 years, in the ongoing fight to acknowledge, prevent, and respond to the rape and sexual abuse of women in conflict and displacement situations. They have worked with an international network of academics, refugee women, and human rights activists in 22 countries. The story moves between refugee camps and the United Nations, refugee settlements in cities and national governments. Theory and ethical research methods are an important part of the story. At times it is very confronting, sometimes amusing and often uplifting.

On Recursion and Its Varieties Formal, Cognitive and Use Aspects of Recursion in Language


Free Download On Recursion and Its Varieties: Formal, Cognitive and Use Aspects of Recursion in Language
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031874242 | 111 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 20 MB
This book discusses linguistic recursion as a transversal property that runs through different fields, including language, computer science, mathematics, architecture, music, and art. Linguistic recursion, considered since the seminal work of Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch (2002) the defining characteristic of human language, has no analogue or homologue in other animal communication systems. This book presents different aspects of recursion from a syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic framework. Syntax recursion is largely addressed through the different types of dependencies, most notably those hierarchically composed. The semantic and pragmatic topics are respectively discussed in relation to the theory of mind and a dialogical use of language.

Omnirambles The Collected Writings of Damian McBride


Free Download Omnirambles : The Collected Writings of Damian McBride By Damian McBride
2014 | 171 Pages | ISBN: 1849547890 | EPUB | 1 MB
His explosive insider memoir Power Trip was hailed as the must-read of 2013, making The Thick of It look tame, and now Damian McBride is back with more razor-sharp observations taken from his widely acclaimed blog. The former spin-doctor, a pivotal but notorious figure in the New Labour government, has since become one of the most sought-after commentators on all things political - and it's easy to see why. McBride's musings provide frank and fascinating accounts of the functions (or dysfunctions) of the political machine, and the peculiar machinations of its operators. Now, in Omnirambles, they are brought together for the first time in one collection. Delivered with the same no-holds-barred acuity and inimitable wit present in his debut bestseller, McBride once again proves himself to be one of today's most controversial and incisive political voices.

Novel Proton Conducting in Free-Standing Coordination Polymer Membranes


Free Download Jiangfeng Lu, "Novel Proton Conducting in Free-Standing Coordination Polymer Membranes "
English | ISBN: 981977912X | 2024 | 96 pages | EPUB | 29 MB
This book investigates the development of high proton conduction properties free-standing two-dimensional coordination polymer membranes, with the goal of elucidating the mechanical flexibility, proton conduction behavior, and structural characteristics of these materials under varying environmental conditions. The book evaluates the possible uses of these membranes in flexible electronics and energy technologies and thoroughly examines proton conduction mechanisms using an interdisciplinary research approach that combines chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. The most recent scientific developments in novel proton conduction materials are covered, along with preparation and structural characterization procedures and their possible uses in energy, environmental, and electronic technology applications. The research findings presented are extremely important for advancing the creation of clean energy technologies and tackling the problem of climate change. They are also especially relevant given the rising demand for sustainable energy technologies throughout the world.

Non-Being in Ancient Thought


Free Download Dmitri Nikulin, "Non-Being in Ancient Thought"
English | ISBN: 0197781616 | 2025 | 320 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Being has been at the forefront of philosophical debate from its very beginnings, whereas non-being has been considered derivative of being and an obstacle for thought. Dmitri Nikulin argues that without non-being, being can neither be nor thought. Non-Being in Ancient Thought provides a critical, historical, and systematic reconstruction of the concept of non-being in ancient philosophy, from Pre-Socratic thought to Neoplatonism, in the works of Parmenides, Democritus, Plato, Diogenes, Aristotle, Descriptioninus, and Simplicius.
