Animals in Space: From Research Rockets to the Space Shuttle by Colin Burgess , Chris Dubbs
English | PDF | 2007 | 435 Pages | ISBN : 0387360530 | 9.1 MB
Many readers will doubtless be astonished to learn that animals were being fired aloft in U.S. and Soviet research rockets in the late 1940s. In fact most people not only believe that the Russian space dog Laika was the first canine to be launched into space, but also that the high-profile, precursory Mercury flights of chimps Ham and Enos were the only primate flights conducted by the United States. In fact, both countries had sent literally dozens of animals aloft for many years prior to these events and continued to do so for many years after. Other latter-day space nations, such as France and China, would also begin to use animals in their own space research.

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming By Timothy A. Budd
2021 | 1111 Pages | ISBN: 0201760312 | EPUB | 36 MB
In An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Timothy Budd provides a language-independent presentation of object-oriented principles, such as objects, methods, inheritance (including multiple inheritance) and polymorphism. Examples are drawn from several different languages, including (among others) C++, C#, Java, CLOS, Delphi, Eiffel, Objective-C and Smalltalk. By examining many languages, the reader is better able to appreciate the general principles that lie beyond the syntax of the individual languages. KEY TOPICS: This new edition presents examples drawn from a wider range of languages, including Eiffel, CLOS, and Python in addition to the mainstream languages, as well as extensive comparisons between C++, C# and Java. Case studies explore the application of polymorphism in the STL in C++ and the AWT in Java. UML notation and diagrams are integrated and utilized throughout. The book also features advanced sections on design patterns, reflection and introspection, network programming, and the implementation of object-oriented languages. MARKET: This book is appropriate for programmers looking to read about the theory behind and functionality of a variety of object-oriented programming languages. It is also useful as a reference.

An Introduction to Global Studies
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367487012 | 353 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
Since the 1950s, globalization has been an increasingly irresistible trend and one that has exerted a tremendous impact on the political, economic, military, environmental, and social fortunes of mankind - and yet, existing theories in humanities and social sciences have been fundamentally built upon the traditional "nation-state" model. These two volumes, a pioneering work on global studies to be published out of China, aims at creating a new theoretical framework against the backdrop of globalization.

An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day.

Suchetana Chattopadhyay, "An Early Communist: Muzaffar Ahmad in Calcutta, 1913-1929"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 8189487930, 8189487779 | PDF | pages: 325 | 4.1 mb
From an occasionally employed, lower middle-class Bengali Muslim intellectual on the borderline of starvation in the city, he was to become 'the chief accused' at the Meerut communist trials started by the colonial government in 1929. What was the road travelled before challenging imperialism 'from the dock'? In 1913, Muzaffar Ahmad (1889-1973) was just one more in the sea of migrants to Calcutta. His ambition was to be a writer. Yet in the vortex of metropolitan upheaval his life would take a completely different turn.

An Artilleryman in Stalingrad: A Soldier's Story at the Turning Point of World War II by Wigand Wüster
English | September 24, 2021 | ISBN: 0811770389 | 264 pages | PDF (Converted) | 23 Mb
In August 1942, Wigand Wüster was a twenty-two-year-old officer in the German Wehrmacht. The short life expectancies of the Eastern Front made him a veteran commander even at that age. He led a battery in an artillery regiment as it approached Stalingrad for a World War II-defining clash with the Soviet Red Army. For Wüster, the preceding months had been marked by heat, dust, endless marches, and brief skirmishes with the enemy-but mostly by an ongoing battle with his bullying battalion commander. Stalingrad would change everything.
