A Companion to the Council of Basel

Michiel Decaluwe, "A Companion to the Council of Basel"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 9004222642 | PDF | pages: 558 | 3.1 mb
The Council of Basel (1431-1449) met to defend the faith and reform the Church. Its efforts to deal with Hussite heresy and reform the Roman Curia led to conflict with Pope Eugenius IV (1431-1447). The council divided over the site of a council of union with the Eastern churches. Some left to attend Eugenius' Council of Florence (1438-1443). While that council was negotiating reunion with Eastern churches, in 1439 Basel was acting to claim supremacy and depose Eugenius. The ensuing struggle went on for a decade before Basel and its pope, Felix V (Amadeus VIII of Savoy), gave up under pressure from the princes. These essays address multiple aspects of the Council of Basel, including its reforming efforts and bureaucracy.

Contributors include Alberto Cadili, Gerald Christianson, Michiel Decaluwe, Thomas A. Fudge, Ursula Gießmann, Hans-Jörg Gilomen, Johannes Helmrath, Thomas M. Izbicki, Jesse D. Mann, Ivan Mariano, Heribert Müller, Émilie Rosenblieh, and Birgit Studt.

A Covert Action Reagan, the CIA, and the Cold War Struggle in Poland

Seth G. Jones, "A Covert Action: Reagan, the CIA, and the Cold War Struggle in Poland"
English | ISBN: 0393247007 | 2018 | 320 pages | PDF | 10 MB
The dramatic, untold story of one of the CIA's most successful Cold War intelligence operations.

December, 1981―the CIA receives word that the Polish government has cut telephone communications with the West and closed the Polish border. The agency's leaders quickly inform President Ronald Reagan, who is enjoying a serene weekend at Camp David. Within hours, Prime Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski has appeared on Polish national television to announce the establishment of martial law. A new era in Cold War politics has begun: Washington and Moscow are on a collision course.
In this gripping narrative history, Seth G. Jones reveals the little-known story of the CIA's subsequent operations in Poland, which produced a landmark victory for democracy during the Cold War. While the Soviet-backed Polish government worked to crush a budding liberal opposition movement, the CIA began a sophisticated intelligence campaign, code-named QRHELPFUL, that supported dissident groups. The most powerful of these groups was Solidarity, a trade union that swelled to a membership of ten million and became one of the first legitimate anti-Communist opposition movements in Eastern Europe. With President Reagan's support, the CIA provided money that helped Solidarity print newspapers, broadcast radio programs, and conduct a wide-ranging information warfare campaign against the Soviet-backed government. QRHELPFUL proved vital in establishing a free and democratic Poland.

A Crack in Everything How Black Holes Came in from the Cold and Took Cosmic Centre...

A Crack in Everything: How Black Holes Came in from the Cold and Took Cosmic Centre Stage by Marcus Chown
English | January 21, 2025 | ISBN: 1804544329 | 352 pages | PDF | 3.23 Mb
A Crack in Everything is the story of how black holes came in from the cold and took cosmic centre stage. As a journalist, Marcus Chown interviews many of the scientists who made the key discoveries, and, as a former physicist, he translates the most esoteric of science into everyday language. The result is a uniquely engaging page-turner that tells one of the great untold stories in modern science.

What is space? What is time? Where did the universe come from? The answers to mankind's most enduring questions may lie in science's greatest enigma: black holes.
A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This can occur when a star approaches the end of its life. Unable to generate enough heat to maintain its outer layers, it shrinks catastrophically down to an infinitely dense point.
When this phenomenon was first proposed in 1916, it defied scientific understanding so much that Albert Einstein dismissed it as too ridiculous to be true. But scientists have since proven otherwise. In 1971, Paul Murdin and Louise Webster discovered the first black hole: Cygnus X-1. Later, in the 1990s, astronomers found that not only do black holes exist, supermassive black holes lie at the heart of almost every galaxy. It would take another three decades to confirm this phenomenon. On 10 April 2019, a team of astronomers made history by producing the first image of a black hole. A Crack in Everything reconstructs this extraordinary journey.

A Data-Driven Fleet Service State of Health Forecasting of Lithium-Ion Batteries (...

A Data-Driven Fleet Service: State of Health Forecasting of Lithium-Ion Batteries (AutoUni - Schriftenreihe) by Friedrich von Bülow
English | February 2, 2024 | ISBN: 3658431873 | 260 pages | MOBI | 15 Mb
Given the limitations of state-of-the-art methods, this book presents a state of health (SOH) forecasting method that is suitable for lithium-ion battery (LIB) systems in real-world battery electric vehicle operation. Its histogram-based features can capture the higher operational variability compared to constant and controlled laboratory operation. Also, the transferability of a trained machine learning model to new LIB cell types and new operational domains is investigated. The presented SOH forecasting method can be provided as a cloud service via a web or smartphone app to fleet managers. Forecasting the SOH enables fleet managers of battery electric vehicle fleets to forecast and plan vehicle replacements.

A Distant Mirror The Calamitous 14th Century

A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman
English | July 12, 1987 | ISBN: 0345349571 | 784 pages | PDF | 21 Mb
A "marvelous history"* of medieval Europe, from the bubonic plague and the Papal Schism to the Hundred Years' War, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Guns of August

*Lawrence Wright, author of The End of October, in The Wall Street Journal
The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight-in all his valor and "furious follies," a "terrible worm in an iron cocoon."
Praise for A Distant Mirror
"Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better."-The New York Review of Books
"A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer."-The Wall Street Journal
"Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition."-Commentary

A Feast of Folklore: The Bizarre Stories Behind British Food by Ben Gazur
English | November 19th, 2024 | ISBN: 180018316X | 256 pages | True EPUB | 7.44 MB
"Diverting, delightful and deliciously weird enough to satisfy the most demanding appetite." - Christopher Hadley, author of The Road

Folklorist Ben Gazur guides you through the dark alleys of British history to uncover how our food habits have been passed down through generations of folklore.
Who was the first person to throw salt over their shoulder? Why do we think carrots can help us see in the dark? When did we start holding village fairs to honour gigantic apple pies? Or start hurling ourselves down hills in pursuit of a wheel of cheese? Gazur investigates the origins of famous food superstitions as well as much more bizarre and lesser-known tales too, from what day the devil urinates on blackberries to how to stop witches using eggshells as escape boats.
Hilarious and fascinating, A Feast of Folklore will introduce you to the gloriously eccentric folk who aren't often noticed by historians. Here lies a smorgasbord of their dark remedies and deadly delicacies, waiting to be discovered.

A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy From Aristotle to the OED

A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy: From Aristotle to the OED
by Peter Hjertholm
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032344458 | 356 Pages | True ePUB | 2.3 MB

This book offers a cultural history of the travels of energy in the English language, from its origins in Aristotle's ontology, where it referred to the activity-of-being, through its English usage as a way to speak about the inherent nature of things, to its adoption as a name for the mechanics of motion (capacity for work).
A distinguished literature deals with energy as matter of science history. But this literature fails to adequately answer a historical question about the rise of the science of energy: How did the commonplace word 'energy' end up becoming a concept in science? This account differs in important ways from the history of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Discovering the origins and early travels of energy is essential for understanding how the word was borrowed into physics, and therefore a cultural history of energy is a necessary companion to the science history of the term. It is important that modern scholars in a variety of fields be aware that energy did not always have a scientific content. The absence of that awareness can lead to, have led to, anachronistic interpretations of energy in historical sources from before the 1860s.
A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy will be useful for those interested in the history of science and technology, cultural history, and linguistics.

A Life Impossible Living with ALS Finding Peace and Wisdom Within a Fragile Existence

A Life Impossible: Living with ALS: Finding Peace and Wisdom Within a Fragile Existence by Steve Gleason, Jeff Duncan
English | April 30, 2024 | ISBN: 0593863291 | 464 pages | PDF | 33 Mb
From NFL player Steve Gleason, a powerful, inspiring memoir of love, heartbreak, resilience, family, and remarkable triumph in the face of ALS

"Gleason is a symbol of resilience, hope and optimism." -The New York Times
* "Steve Gleason has changed the world." -Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner
* "An extraordinary book...A Life Impossible will change the way people cope, think, and live." -Mike Lupica, co-author with James Patterson of 12 Months to Live
In 2011, three years after leaving the NFL, Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that takes away the ability to move, talk, and breathe. Doctors gave him three years to live. He was thirty-three years old. As Steve says, he is now ten years past his expiration date.
His memoir is the chronicle of a remarkable life, one filled with optimism and joy, despite the trauma and pain and despair he has experienced. Writing using eye-tracking technology, Gleason covers his pre-ALS life through the highs and lows of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, where he made one of the most memorable plays in Saints history, leading to a victory in the first post-Katrina home game, uplifting the city, making him a hero, and reflected in a nine-foot bronze statue outside the Superdome. Then came his heartbreaking diagnosis. Gleason lost all muscle function, he now uses Stephen Hawking-like technology to communicate, and breathes with the help of a ventilator. This book captures Gleason and his wife Michel's unmatched resilience as they reinvent their lives, refuse to succumb to despair, and face his disease realistically and existentially.
This unsparing portrait argues that a person's true strength does not reside solely in one's body but also in the ability to face unfathomable adversity and still be able to love and treasure life.

A Life in the American Century

Joseph S. Nye Jr., "A Life in the American Century"
English | ISBN: 1509560688 | 2024 | 254 pages | PDF | 19 MB
For the past eight decades, we have lived in "the American Century" - a period during which the US has enjoyed unrivalled power - be it political, economic or military - on the global stage. Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of America power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today.

In this deeply personal book, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations where he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security. After 9/11 drew the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nye remained an astute observer and critic of the Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies. Today American primacy may be changing, but he concludes with a faint ray of guarded optimism about the future of his country in a richer but riskier world.

A Load of Old Balls The QI History of Sport

A Load of Old Balls: The QI History of Sport by James Harkin, Anna Ptaszynski
English | 4 July 2024 | ISBN: 0571372546 | True EPUB | 400 pages | 5.6 MB
The most improbable, fascinating and endlessly entertaining sporting facts and stories, from prehistory to the present day.

Did you know that Henry VIII owned the first pair of football boots? Or that David Attenborough is responsible for yellow tennis balls?
A Load of Old Balls is the curious story of us and sport. It's about our mind-blowingly determined attempts to be the fastest, the strongest, the most skilful. In this endlessly entertaining tale of play and belonging, astonishing violence and jaw-dropping cheating, we learn what led ancient Egyptian athletes to have their spleens removed and discover why Michael Palin was disqualified from a conker tournament. Crossing millennia, continents and cultures, Harkin and Ptaszynski - the brainy researchers for BBC's QI and co-hosts of No Such Thing As A Fish -show us sport as we've never seen it before.

A Muzzle for Witches

A Muzzle for Witches by Dubravka Ugresic, translated by Ellen Elias-Bursać
English | September 17, 2024 | ISBN: 1960385259 | True EPUB | 120 pages | 0.4 MB
Winner of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature

As with the rest of her literary career, Dubravka Ugresic's final work, A Muzzle for Witches, is uncategorizable. On its surface, the book is a conversation with the literary critic Merima Omeragić, covering topics such as "Women and the Male Perspective," "The Culture of (Self)Harm," and "The Melancholy of Vanishing."
But the book is more than a simple interview: It's a roadmap of the literary world, exploring the past century and all of its violence and turmoil-especially in Yugoslavia, Ugresic's birth country-and providing a direction for the future of feminist writing.
One of the greatest thinkers of the past hundred years, Ugresic was one-of-a-kind, who novels and literary essays pushed the bounds of form and content, and A Muzzle for Witches offers the chance to see her at her most raw, and most playful.

A Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places by Christopher Brown Esq.
English | September 17, 2024 | ISBN: 1643263366 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 9 MB
A genre-bending blend of naturalism, memoir, and social manifesto for rewilding the city, the self, and society.

A Natural History of Empty Lots is a genre-defying work of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that explores what happens when nature and the city intersect.
During the real estate crash of the late 2000s, Christopher Brown purchased an empty lot in an industrial section of Austin, Texas. The property-abandoned and full of litter and debris-was an unlikely site for a home. Brown had become fascinated with these empty lots around Austin, so-called "ruined" spaces once used for agriculture and industry awaiting their redevelopment. He discovered them to be teeming with natural activity, and embarked on a twenty-year project to live in and document such spaces. There, in our most damaged landscapes, he witnessed the remarkable resilience of wild nature, and how we can heal ourselves by healing the Earth.
Beautifully written and philosophically hard-hitting, A Natural History of Empty Lots offers a new lens on human disruption and nature, offering a sense of hope among the edgelands.

A Navy SEAL's Bug-In Guide How to Turn Your House into the Safest Place on Earth

Joel Lambert, "A Navy SEAL's Bug-In Guide: How to Turn Your House into the Safest Place on Earth"
English | ASIN : B0DBHTZQF1 | 2024 | 240 pages | EPUB | 1292 KB
A Navy Seal's Bug-In Guide

There are a lot of bug out guides out there, but this is probably the first ever BUG-IN Guide. And the truth is that for almost every crisis out there, that's what makes the most sense!
Except for a few unlikely cases like a raging wildfire or tornado barrelling straight for your house, bugging out is a very bad idea.
Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbours you know, and terrain you're familiar with, ... only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals? And maybe get 5 calories from some roots after spending 6 calories digging them up.
Much better to Bug-In! But you need a guide, or else you might overlook vital things that you just won't be able to get once a crisis is underway.
Inside this unique 227-page physical book, former Navy Seal and BUD/S Instructor Joel Lambert will show you exactly what you need to stockpile and know to turn your house into the safest place on Earth. Unlike most other "survival experts" Joel has survived war and chaos from Iraq to Afghanistan, and other places you've probably never heard about. His survival knowledge, which you'll find in the book, is not theoretical - it's the purest form of practical.
The stuff that actually saves lives and families once things go terribly bad, and there's no more 911 to call.
A Navy Seal's Bug-In Guide is structured to cover the 10 areas that matter most when it comes to surviving long-term in your own home without any outside help:

A Perfect Spy (Penguin Modern Classics) by John Le Carré
English | September 27, 2018 | ISBN: 0241322480 | True EPUB | 660 pages | 0.99 MB
'The best English novel since the war' Philip Roth

Magnus Pym - ranking diplomat, consummate Englishman, loving husband, secret agent - has vanished. Has he defected? Gone to ground? As the hunt for Pym intensifies, the secrets of his life are revealed: the people he has loved and betrayed, the unreliable con-man father who made him, the two mentors who moulded and shaped him, and now wish to claim this perfect spy as their own.
Described by le Carré as his most autobiographical novel, A Perfect Spy is a devastating portrayal of a man who has played different roles for so long, he no longer knows who he is.
'Le Carré understood that espionage is an extreme version of the human comedy, even the human tragedy. A Perfect Spy will very likely remain his greatest book' New Yorker

A Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word Jesus' Subversive Reading of the Isaian Jubilee ...

Jeff S Kennedy, "A Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word: Jesus' Subversive Reading of the Isaian Jubilee in Luke 4:16-30"
English | ASIN : B0DDRYQPJ4 | 2024 | 232 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Did Jesus, the revolutionary figure who changed the world, struggle to read a scroll? A growing number of scholars think so. Luke's account of Jesus reading in the synagogue (Luke 4:16-30) is routinely challenged today in academia. The claim is that Luke either fabricated the account outright or relied upon a mistaken social memory of Jesus reading in the synagogue. Accordingly, Jesus has been recast as an illiterate peasant or semi-literate artisan unable to read and teach the way Luke portrays. In A Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word, Jeff Kennedy offers a fresh perspective. He contends that Luke's "reading Jesus" wasn't an attempt to appeal to the cultured sensibilities of his Greek audience, who preferred literate philosophers over illiterate carpenters. Instead, it reflects Jesus' self-understanding as Israel's prophet-sage, anointed to read and proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor. Jesus announces a shocking and provocative message for unbelieving Israel, and he does so with a singular authority. This incident sparks escalating tensions between Jesus and his countrymen, resulting in Christ's glorification through suffering. And Luke tells us that suffering began in Jesus' hometown of Nazareth.

A Second Chance A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It

Frederic Block, "A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It"
English | ISBN: 1620978873 | 2024 | 256 pages | EPUB | 441 KB
A sitting federal judge's lively and provocative recounting of six cases, to make the argument for revisiting overly punitive sentences

Murderous mafia capos. The police officer who brutalized Abner Louima. A purveyor of child pornography. These are some of the defendants to have come before U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block to ask for reductions in their prison sentences. All of them have been found guilty and have already served decades in prison, but under the 2018 First Step Act they are entitled to petition for reconsideration and release.
In a rare glimpse behind the bench, Judge Block recounts the cases of six incarcerated people who have done heinous things but have nevertheless petitioned him for their release. He then explains the criteria the First Step Act has spelled out for his consideration. And, in a novel twist, he asks the reader, "What would you do?"

A Small Town in Ukraine

A Small Town in Ukraine by Bernard Wasserstein
English | February 23, 2023 | ISBN: 0241609224 | 320 pages | MOBI | 5.14 Mb
'A fine and deeply affecting work of history and memoir' Philippe Sands

Decades ago, the historian Bernard Wasserstein set out to uncover the hidden past of the town forty miles west of Lviv where his family originated: Krakowiec (Krah-KOV-yets). In this book he recounts its dramatic and traumatic history. 'I want to observe and understand how some of the great forces that determined the shape of our times affected ordinary people.' The result is an exceptional, often moving book.
Wasserstein traces the arc of history across centuries of religious and political conflict, as armies of Cossacks, Turks, Swedes, and Muscovites rampaged through the region. In the age of enlightenment, the Polish magnate Ignacy Cetner built his palace at Krakowiec and, with his vivacious daughter, Princess Anna, created an arcadia of refinement and serenity. Under the Habsburg emperors after 1772, Krakowiec developed into a typical shtetl, with a jostling population of Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews.
In 1914, disaster struck. 'Seven years of terror and carnage' left a legacy of ferocious national antagonisms. During the Second World War the Jews were murdered in circumstances harrowingly described by Wasserstein. After the war the Poles were expelled and the town dwindled into a border outpost. Today, the storm of history once again flows through Krakowiec as hordes of refugees flee for their lives from Ukraine to Poland.
At the beginning and end of the book we encounter Wasserstein's own family, especially his grandfather Berl. In their lives and the many others Wasserstein has rediscovered, the people of Krakowiec become a prism through which we can feel the shocking immediacy of history. Original in conception and brilliantly achieved, Krakowiec is a masterpiece of recovery and insight.
