Take Out Hunger Two Case Studies of Rural Development in Basutoland Volume 39


Free Download S. Wallman, "Take Out Hunger: Two Case Studies of Rural Development in Basutoland Volume 39 "
English | ISBN: 0367716615 | 2021 | 190 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Development schemes are common throughout the third world. Many fail, but the reasons for failure or success are only too often not adequately studied. In this monograph two schemes started in Basutoland – now Lesotho – are intensively analysed and compared: the first, which was abandoned in 1961, primarily by means of documentary material; the second, which was and still is successful in at least part of the area, mainly through observation and field research. The analysis reveals the factors making for success or failure, particularly in the fields of politics, economics, and communication. The relevance of the study extends beyond Lesotho and even Africa, the analysis dealing with problems common to introduced social change and development in any part of the world.

In this live photography workshop, now available to watch as a replay, Karl demonstrates various simple-but-effective two-light setups for portraiture.  You’ll learn how to create beautiful portraits with minimal lights and basic modifiers, including softboxes, octaboxes and snoots.  Karl also demonstrates how you can use white foam board, or a low white studio ceiling, to control your lighting.  Later in the shoot, Karl creates a ‘box room’ within the studio to demonstrate how you can achieve surprisingly good portrait results with simple bare-bulb lighting.

English | ISBN: 0700624120 | 2017 | 272 pages | EPUB | 1399 KB
Reverdy Johnson (1796-1876), Maryland senator, and Horatio Seymour, Democratic governor of New York, were two influential opponents of Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans during the Civil War. But unlike the Copperheads, they staunchly supported the war to suppress the rebellion. The story of these two figures of the loyal opposition by Lincoln Prize-winning author William C. Harris provides a new way of understanding critical controversies relating to the purpose of the Civil War, its conduct, emancipation, white racial opinion, loyalty, military conscription, and civil liberties.

The Two Reconstructions The Struggle for Black Enfranchisement


Free Download The Two Reconstructions: The Struggle for Black Enfranchisement By Richard M. Valelly
2004 | 348 Pages | ISBN: 0226845303 | PDF | 1 MB
Winner of the 2005 J. David Greenstone Book Award from the Politics and History section of the American Political Science Association. Winner of the 2005 Ralph J. Bunche Award of the American Political Science AssociationWinner of the 2005 V.O. Key, Jr. Award of the Southern Political Science AssociationThe Reconstruction era marked a huge political leap for African Americans, who rapidly went from the status of slaves to voters and officeholders. Yet this hard-won progress lasted only a few decades. Ultimately a "second reconstruction"-associated with the civil rights movement and the Voting Rights Act-became necessary.How did the first reconstruction fail so utterly, setting the stage for the complete disenfranchisement of Southern black voters, and why did the second succeed? These are among the questions Richard M. Valelly answers in this fascinating history. The fate of black enfranchisement, he argues, has been closely intertwined with the strengths and constraints of our political institutions. Valelly shows how effective biracial coalitions have been the key to success and incisively traces how and why political parties and the national courts either rewarded or discouraged the formation of coalitions.Revamping our understanding of American race relations, The Two Reconstructions brilliantly explains a puzzle that lies at the heart of America’s development as a political democracy.

New York Politics A Tale of Two States


Free Download Edward V. Schneier, "New York Politics: A Tale of Two States"
English | ISBN: 1501767275 | 2023 | 372 pages | PDF | 2 MB
New York Politics examines aspects of state government that are often hidden in the secret sessions of the parties’ legislative conferences: the closed-door budget; a complicated array of opaque agencies, authorities, and local governments; and a campaign finance system that lacks transparency. New York is unique among the American states in the existence of regional and demographic divisions, making it difficult to govern. Edward V. Schneier, Antoinette Pole, and Anthony Maniscalco bring clarity and understanding to the politics of the Empire State.

Rude Awakenings Two Englishmen on Foot in Buddhism’s Holy Land


Free Download Nick Scott, Ajahn Sucitto, "Rude Awakenings: Two Englishmen on Foot in Buddhism’s Holy Land"
Engish | 2005 | ISBN: 0861714857 | 352 pages | True PDF | 2.4 MB
Half raucous adventure and half inspirational memoir, Rude Awakenings documents an unusual pilgrimage. Two very different men-life-loving naturalist Nick Scott and austere Buddhist monk Ajahn Sucitto-together spend six months retracing the Buddha’s footsteps through India. Told alternately by Sucitto and Scott in their distinctive voices, this story blends self-effacing humor, philosophical explorations, drama, travel observations, and the occasional giant fruit bat. Rude Awakenings is a heady record of survival and spirituality set against the dramatic backdrop of one of India’s most lawless regions.

A Two-Dimensional Piezoresistivity Model for Anisotropic Materials and its Application in Self-Sensing of Carbon Fiber Reinforc


Free Download A Two-Dimensional Piezoresistivity Model for Anisotropic Materials and its Application in Self-Sensing of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics
English | 2023 | ISBN: 303123765X | 329 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 52 MB
This thesis works on the topic of fiber-reinforced plastics and discusses the measurement of strain with embedded sensors. Embedding sensors into a structure fundamentally poses challenges arising from the differences in mechanical properties of sensor and structure. This thesis works on the research area of Self-Sensing, where these challenges are overcome by using carbon fibers for both load-carrying and strain-sensing functions. Starting with a literature review, this thesis proposes three research hypotheses, which are targeted to describe the Self-Sensing properties of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) for strain measurements. These hypotheses assume, that the electric anisotropy of the material results in a complex voltage distribution within a Self-Sensing specimen. In order to discuss this point further, a two-dimensional piezoresistivity model based on the Laplace equation is introduced. The developed model newly allows to quantify the electric potential changes in specimens with arbitrary geometrical dimensions and electric anisotropy.
