Free Download Robert Schenkkan, "The Kentucky Cycle"
English | 2016 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 0802125271 | EPUB | 1,1 mb
In this series of nine short plays, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan has created a mesmerizing epic saga of rural Kentucky and an unblinking look at the truth behind our American mythology. Spanning two centuries and seven generations, this is the story of three families whose lives are irrevocably intertwined. From the darker realities of our pioneer heritage to the bloody lessons of the Civil War, from the inspiring battles between Union coal miners and deal-making management to the harsh environmental legacy of strip-mining, this fascinating work chronicles the lives of people who use any means possible to carve out a better place for themselves in an often brutal, unpredictable world. A remarkable theatrical event, The Kentucky Cycle is a compelling and unsentimental look at the men and women who founded this country and a powerful allegory for our times.

In Inuit mythology, "sila" means air, climate, or breath. Bilodeau’s play of the same name examines the competing interests shaping the future of the Canadian Arctic and local Inuit population. Equal parts Inuit myth and contemporary Arctic policy, the play Sila features puppetry, spoken word poetry, and three different languages (English, French, and Inuktitut).

Free Download Karin Bijsterveld, "Interdisciplinarity in the Scholarly Life Cycle: Learning by Example in Humanities and Social Science Research"
English | ISBN: 3031111079 | 2023 | 353 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This open access book illustrates how interdisciplinary research develops over the lifetime of a scholar: not in a single project, but as an attitude that trickles down, or spirals up, into research. This book presents how interdisciplinary work has inspired shifts in how the contributors read, value concepts, critically combine methods, cope with knowledge hierarchies, write in style, and collaborate. Drawing on extensive examples from the humanities and social sciences, the editors and chapter authors show how they started, tried to open up, dealt with inconsistencies, had to adapt, and ultimately learned and grew as researchers. The book offers valuable insights into the conditions and complexities present for interdisciplinary research to be successful in an academic setting.

Free Download Hydrological Modelling and the Water Cycle: Coupling the Atmospheric and Hydrological Models by Soroosh Sorooshian, Kuo-Lin Hsu, Erika Coppola, Barbara Tomassetti, Marco Verdecchia, Guido Visconti
English | PDF | 2008 | 293 Pages | ISBN : 354077842X | 106.6 MB
This volume is a collection of a selected number of articles based on presentations at the 2005 L’Aquila (Italy) Summer School on the topic of "Hydrologic Modeling and Water Cycle: Coupling of the Atmosphere and Hydrological Models". The p- mary focus of this volume is on hydrologic modeling and their data requirements, especially precipitation. As the eld of hydrologic modeling is experiencing rapid development and transition to application of distributed models, many challenges including overcoming the requirements of compatible observations of inputs and outputs must be addressed. A number of papers address the recent advances in the State-of-the-art distributed precipitation estimation from satellites. A number of articles address the issues related to the data merging and use of geo-statistical techniques for addressing data limitations at spatial resolutions to capture the h- erogeneity of physical processes. The participants at the School came from diverse backgrounds and the level of – terest and active involvement in the discussions clearly demonstrated the importance the scienti c community places on challenges related to the coupling of atmospheric and hydrologic models. Along with my colleagues Dr. Erika Coppola and Dr. Kuolin Hsu, co-directors of the School, we greatly appreciate the invited lectures and all the participants. The members of the local organizing committee, Drs Barbara Tomassetti; Marco Verdecchia and Guido Visconti were instrumental in the success of the school and their contributions, both scienti cally and organizationally are much appreciated.

Free Download Quicksilver: Volume One of the Baroque Cycle By Neal Stephenson
2003 | 944 Pages | ISBN: 0641650698 | EPUB | 2 MB
Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver is here. A monumental literary feat that follows the author’s critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller Cryptonomicon, it is history, adventure, science, truth, invention, sex, absurdity, piracy, madness, death, and alchemy. It sweeps across continents and decades with the power of a roaring tornado, upending kings, armies, religious beliefs, and all expectations.It is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and conflicted Puritan, pursuing knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe, in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight. It is a chronicle of the breathtaking exploits of "Half-Cocked Jack" Shaftoe – London street urchin turned swashbuckling adventurer and legendary King of the Vagabonds – risking life and limb for fortune and love while slowly maddening from the pox … and Eliza, rescued by Jack from a Turkish harem to become spy, confidante, and pawn of royals in order to reinvent a contentious continent through the newborn power of finance.A gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive novel that brings a remarkable age and its momentous events to vivid life – a historical epic populated by the likes of Samuel Pepys, Isaac Newton, William of Orange, Benjamin Franklin, and King Louis XIV – Quicksilver is an extraordinary achievement from one of the most original and important literary talents of our time.And it’s just the beginning …

Free Download Spin cycle : Inside the Clinton propaganda machine By Kurtz, Howard, 1953-
1998 | 372 Pages | ISBN: 0684852314 | EPUB | 1 MB
"Howard Kurtz takes us into the sick little world of obsessed, self-importantprosecutorial journalists and their opposing cadre of self-important, image-mongering White House flacks. From his solid reporting, we are remindedagain of the way image and process have triumphed over political substance,and why so many millions of Americans have lost all interest in political news.Anybody who cares deeply about the future of this Republic should read thisbook, and tremble. -Pete HamillSpin Cycle is the first behind-the-scenes account of the White House political operation as it packages and shapes the news by manipulating, misleading, and in some cases, intimidating the press. It is also the tale of how some of the nation’s top journalists buy into these efforts and, often, put their own spin on the news.Competing, infuriating, often devastatingly funny, this is the story you shouldread before you pick up the newspaper tomorrow morning."Spin Cycle is a revealing, highly detailed insider account . . . .[which] should dispel any lingering myths about a liberal mainstream press eager to promote the president." -Wendy Kaminer, The New York Times Book Review"In 300 nail-biting pages, Clinton’s strategists and spinmasters are shown desperately scrambling and bailing to keep a torrent of scandals from sinking the battered ship of state. . . . Spin Cycle provides an intimate view of the daily battles between the president and the media for control of the news." -Mark Jurkowitz, The Boston Globe"In Spin Cycle, Kurtz has written another winner . . . [he] does a masterful job describing the relentless and unseemly jockeying for professional advancement and public attention by journalists, the president’s handlers, and the president himself." -Keith Schneider, Detroit Free PressHoward Kurtz, the longtime media reporter for The Washington Post, is the author of Hot Air and Media Circus. Named the nation’s best media reporter by the American Journalism Review, Kurtz is co-host of CNN’s Reliable Sources and has also written for The New Republic, TV Guide, New York, and numerous other magazines. He lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
