Free Download Greta Lynn Uehling, "Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine"
English | ISBN: 1501767593 | 2023 | 210 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Everyday War provides an accessible lens through which to understand what noncombatant civilians go through in a country at war. What goes through the mind of a mother who must send her child to school across a minefield or the men who belong to groups of volunteer body collectors? In Ukraine, such questions have been part of the daily calculus of life. Greta Uehling engages with the lives of ordinary people living in and around the armed conflict over Donbas that began in 2014 and shows how conventional understandings of war are incomplete.

Free Download Barry Bergdoll, "European Architecture, 1750-1890"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0192842226 | PDF | pages: 340 | 31.3 mb
This comprehensive examination of eighteenth and nineteenth-century architecture explores its extreme diversity within the context of tremendous social, economic and political upheaval. Never before had the functional requirements and expressive capacities of architecture been tested so thoroughly and with such diversity of invention. Bergdoll traces this experimentation in a broad range of contexts, focusing in particular on the relation of architectural design to new theories of history, new categories of scientific inquiry, and the broadening audience for architecture in this period of transformation. Unlike traditional surveys with long lists of buildings and architects, the themes are elucidated by in-depth coverage of key buildings which in turn are situated in both their local and European context.

Free Download Eternal Vigilance?: 50 years of the CIA By Christopher Andrew (editor), Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones (editor)
1997 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 0714643602 | PDF | 5 MB
Eternal Vigilance? seeks to offer reinterpretations of some of the major established themes in CIA history such as its origins, foundations, its treatment of the Soviet threat, the Iranian revolution and the accountability of the agency. The book also opens new areas of research such as foreign liaison, relations with the scientific community, use of scientific and technical research and economic intelligence. The articles are both by well-known scholars in the field and young researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. Contributors come almost equally from both sides of the Atlantic. All draw, to varying degrees, on recently declassified documents and newly-available archives and, as the final chapter seeks to show, all point the way to future research.

Many disaster events are triggered by human activities. Dealing with these problems will require systems thinking and integrating multidisciplinary science.

Every point of view matters when it comes to our global home-The Planet Earth.
