Free Download Shared Hopes, Separate Fears: Fifty Years Of US-Indonesian Relations By Paul F. Gardner
1997 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0813331900 | PDF | 23 MB
This book traces the often tumultuous history of U.S-Indonesian relations as experienced by those who witnessed it in the making. Incorporating the perspectives of participants from both nations, Paul Gardner focuses on a number of key phases in the relationship: the U.S. role in Indonesia’s struggle for independence; the strains of the Cold War era, including covert U.S. support for Indonesian rebels in Sumatra and Sulawesi; U.S. mediation of the dispute over western New Guinea; the communist "coup" in 1965 and its violent aftermath; and the crucial U.S. role in organizing a multinational recovery effort for Indonesia’s economy after the creation of its New Order in 1968. The book also addresses current issues, including economic differences, democratic development, and East Timor, and other human rights concerns.Gardner, himself a witness of key events, draws on interviews, personal papers, and recently declassified documents to provide an intimate view of the aspirations, insights, and acts of courage that built the Indonesian relationship; the fears, intrigue, and blunders that threatened it; and the complex issues the two nations face today.

Televisual Shared Universes Expanded and Converged Storyworlds on the Small Screen


Free Download CarrieLynn D. Reinhard Dominican University, "Televisual Shared Universes: Expanded and Converged Storyworlds on the Small Screen"
English | ISBN: 1666915610 | 2023 | 226 pages | EPUB, PDF | 593 KB + 7 MB
This book of empirical studies analyzes examples of televisual shared universes since the 1960s to understand how the nature of televised serial narratives and network corporate policies have long created shared storyworlds. While there has been much discussion about shared cinematic universes and comic book universes, the concept has had limited exploration in other media, such as those seen on the smaller screen. By applying convergence culture and other contemporary media studies concepts to television’s history, contributors demonstrate the common activities and practices in serial narratives that align older television with contemporary television, simultaneously bridging the gap between old media and new media studies. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and popular culture will find this book of particular interest.

A Stable and Transparent Framework for Adaptive Shared Control of Robots


Free Download A Stable and Transparent Framework for Adaptive Shared Control of Robots
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031479335 | 310 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 53 MB
Robotic research and developments in computing technologies including artificial intelligence have led to significant improvements in autonomous capabilities of robots. Yet, human supervision is advisable and, in many cases, necessary when robots interact with real-world, outside-lab environments. This is due to the fact that complete autonomy in robots has not yet been achieved. When robots encounter challenges beyond their capabilities, a viable solution is to include human operators in the loop, who can support robots through teleoperation, taking complete control or shared control.

Post-Liberalism Recovering a Shared World [Audiobook]

English | August 27, 2019 | ASIN: B07WD5YSKZ | MP3@64 kbps | 7h 9m | 192.06 MB
Author: Fred Dallmayr
Narrator: Sean Runnette

Liberal democracy is the dominant political ideology in the West today. Taken at face value it suggests an equivalency between its two central components-liberalism and democracy – but as Fred Dallmayr argues here, the two operate in very different registers. The two frequently conflict, endangering our public life. This is evident in the rise of self-centered neo-liberalism as well as autocratic movements in our world today.

Afghanistan-Pakistan Shared Waters State of the Basins


Free Download Afghanistan-Pakistan Shared Waters: State of the Basins by Muhammad Azeem Ali Shah, Jonathan Lautze, Asadullah Meelad
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 180062235X | 10.2 MB
There is currently no water cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of the nine rivers that flow across the border, none possess a formal agreement or mechanism to manage shared water resources. Further, there is very little information available about the status of environment, hydrology and water resources management for these river basins that could be used as a starting point for dialogues on transboundary water coordination. This State of the Basins book co-develops an overview of the three most important river basins, in collaboration with international experts and water professionals from Afghanistan and Pakistan. It covers water resources, land resources, ecological health, environment, climate change, and the social and economic conditions for sustainable management of these precious resources. It will inform decision making within the two countries, and begin to establish benefits that can accrue from more active collaboration on these shared waters.This book:
