Taming Nationalism Political Community Building in the Post-Soviet Baltic States (Post-Soviet Politics)


Free Download Taming Nationalism? Political Community Building in the Post-Soviet Baltic States (Post-Soviet Politics) By Dovile Budryte
2005 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 075464281X | PDF | 60 MB
Revisiting the process of political community building in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, this book analyzes the roles that international actors have played in these processes and assesses the unintended consequences of this involvement. The study differs from other works on ethnic minorities and nationalism in the former Soviet Union by exploring the use of minority rights discourse and the salience of historical memory. Case studies examine the transformation of nationalism in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – all former Soviet republics – which have experienced Soviet nationalities policy first-hand. Primarily intended for an academic audience and practitioners interested in promoting tolerance in multi-ethnic societies, the book’s historical narrative will also appeal to readers with a general interest in the former Soviet Union and post-Communism.

Machine Learning Control – Taming Nonlinear Dynamics and Turbulence


Free Download Machine Learning Control – Taming Nonlinear Dynamics and Turbulence by Thomas Duriez , Steven L. Brunton , Bernd R. Noack
English | EPUB | 2017 | 229 Pages | ISBN : 331940623X | 4.4 MB
This is the first textbook on a generally applicable control strategy for turbulence and other complex nonlinear systems. The approach of the book employs powerful methods of machine learning for optimal nonlinear control laws. This machine learning control (MLC) is motivated and detailed in Chapters 1 and 2. In Chapter 3, methods of linear control theory are reviewed. In Chapter 4, MLC is shown to reproduce known optimal control laws for linear dynamics (LQR, LQG). In Chapter 5, MLC detects and exploits a strongly nonlinear actuation mechanism of a low-dimensional dynamical system when linear control methods are shown to fail. Experimental control demonstrations from a laminar shear-layer to turbulent boundary-layers are reviewed in Chapter 6, followed by general good practices for experiments in Chapter 7.

Taming the Messiah The Formation of an Ottoman Political Public Sphere, 1600-1700


Taming the Messiah: The Formation of an Ottoman Political Public Sphere, 1600-1700 by Aslihan Gurbuzel
English | January 10th, 2023 | ISBN: 0520388216 | 332 pages | True EPUB | 3.80 MB
In the history of the Ottoman Empire, the seventeenth century has often been considered an anomaly, characterized by political dissent and social conflict. In this book, Aslıhan Gürbüzel shows how the early modern period was, in fact, crucial to the formation of new kinds of political agency that challenged, negotiated with, and ultimately reshaped the Ottoman social order.

The Taming of Free Speech America’s Civil Liberties Compromise


Laura Weinrib, "The Taming of Free Speech: America’s Civil Liberties Compromise"
English | ISBN: 0674545710 | 2016 | 480 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In the early decades of the twentieth century, business leaders condemned civil liberties as masks for subversive activity, while labor sympathizers denounced the courts as shills for industrial interests. But by the Second World War, prominent figures in both camps celebrated the judiciary for protecting freedom of speech. In this strikingly original history, Laura Weinrib illustrates how a surprising coalition of lawyers and activists made judicial enforcement of the Bill of Rights a defining feature of American democracy.
