Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland [Audiobook]




Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland [Audiobook] by Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Mary Jordan, Kevin Sullivan


English | April 27, 2015 | ASIN: B00VEMM38A, ISBN: 1611764289 | MP3 VBR ~ 50 kbps | 12 hrs 24 mins | 291 MB

Narrators: Jorjeana Marie, Marisol Ramirez, Arthur Morey | Genre: Nonfiction/Memoirs




Two victims of the infamous Cleveland kidnapper share the story of their abductions, their decade in captivity, and their final, dramatic rescue.




On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland area home and called 911, saying: "Help me, I'm Amanda Berry…. I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years."




A horrifying story rapidly unfolded. Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight to his home, where he kept them chained in the basement. In the decade that followed, the three were raped, psychologically abused, and threatened with death. Berry bore a child – Jocelyn – by their captor.




Drawing upon their recollections and the diaries they kept, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro's house with the ongoing efforts to find the missing girls.




The full story behind the headlines – including shocking information never previously released – Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of three women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.

When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change (repost)




When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change by Mohamed A. El-Erian


English | 2008-05-23 | ISBN: 0071592814 | PDF | 304 pages | 1.2 MB




Winner of the 2008 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award


When Markets Collide is a timely alert to the fundamental changes taking place in today's global economic and financial systems–and a call to action for investors who may fall victim to misinterpreting important signals.




While some have tended to view asset class mispricings as mere “noise,” this compelling book shows why they are important signals of opportunities and risks that will shape the market for years to come.




One of today's most respected names in finance, Mohamed El-Erian puts recent events in their proper context, giving you the tools that can help you interpret the markets, benefit from global economic change, and navigate the risks.


The world economy is in the midst of a series of hand-offs. Global growth is now being heavily influenced by nations that previously had little or no systemic influence. Former debtor nations are building unforeseen wealth and, thus, enjoying unprecedented influence and facing unusual challenges. And new derivative products have changed the behavior of many market segments and players. Yet, despite all these changes, the system's infrastructure is yet to be upgraded to reflect the realities of today's and tomorrow's world. El-Erian investigates the underlying drivers of global change to shed light on how you should:


Think about the new opportunities and risks


Construct an appropriately diversified and internationalized portfolio


Protect your portfolio against new sources of systemic risk


Best think about the impact of central banks and financial policies around the world


Offering up predictions of future developments, El-Erian directs his focus to help you capitalize on the new financial landscape, while limiting exposure to new risk configurations.


When Markets Collide is a unique collection of books for investors and policy makers around the world. In addition to providing a thorough analysis and clear perspective of recent events, it lays down a detailed map for navigating your way through an otherwise perplexing new economic landscape.

Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read (6th edition) (repost)




Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read (6th edition) by Frank Smith


English | 2004-02-29 | ISBN: 080584712X, 0805847111 | PDF | 392 pages | 20.6 MB




Understanding Reading revolutionized reading research and theory when the first edition appeared in 1971 and continues to be a leader in the field. In the sixth edition of this classic text, Smith's purpose remains the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex human act of reading–linguistic, physiological, psychological, and social–and on what is involved in learning to read.




The text critically examines current theories, instructional practices, and controversies, covering a wide range of disciplines but always remaining accessible to students and classroom teachers.




Careful attention is given to the ideological clash that continues between whole language and direct instruction and currently permeates every aspect of theory and research into reading and reading instruction. To aid readers in making up their own minds, each chapter concludes with a brief statement of "Issues."


Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read, Sixth Edition is designed to serve as a handbook for language arts teachers, a college text for basic courses on the psychology of reading, a guide to relevant research on reading, and an introduction to reading as an aspect of thinking and learning. It is matchless in integrating a wide range of topics relative to reading while, at the same time, being highly readable and user-friendly for instructors, students, and practitioners.

Alice im Niemandsland: Wie die deutsche Frauenbewegung die Frauen verlor




Miriam Gebhardt, "Alice im Niemandsland: Wie die deutsche Frauenbewegung die Frauen verlor"


2012 | German | ISBN-10: 3421044112 | 352 pages | EPUB | 0,5 MB




Alice Schwarzer und der Niedergang der deutschen Frauenbewegung




Die deutsche Frauenbewegung war einmal vielstimmig, aufregend und international führend. Doch inzwischen ist der deutsche Feminismus programmatisch unbedeutend, organisatorisch unsichtbar und zusammengeschrumpft auf eine Medienfigur – Alice Schwarzer. Jede gesellschaftspolitische Frage, sei es die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf oder die Frauenquote, findet seit Jahrzehnten nur eine einzige feministische Antwort, nämlich »die Antwort« von Schwarzer. Mit ihrer ideologischen Unbeweglichkeit hat sie viele Frauen der Bewegung, die eigentlich für ihre Rechte streiten sollte, entfremdet. Kaum eine junge Frau will sich heute noch Feministin nennen, obwohl Deutschland bei der Verwirklichung der Gleichberechtigung in vielen Bereichen Schlusslicht ist. Zum 70. Geburtstag Alice Schwarzers wagt Miriam Gebhardt eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Übermutter des deutschen Feminismus und zeigt, warum es für die Frauenbewegung höchste Zeit ist, sich neuen Themen und neuen Persönlichkeiten zuzuwenden.









1 and 2 Chronicles: Volume 1: 1 Chronicles 1-2 Chronicles 9: Israel's Place among Nations by William Johnstone




1 and 2 Chronicles: Volume 1: 1 Chronicles 1-2 Chronicles 9: Israel's Place among Nations (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies) by William Johnstone


English | Mar 1, 1998 | ISBN: 1850756937 | 418 Pages | PDF | 19 MB




This two-part commentary argues that Chronicles, placed as it is among the 'historical books' in the traditional Old Testament of the Christian church, is much misunderstood. Restored to its proper position as the final book in the canon as arranged in the order of the Hebrew Bible, it is rather to be understood as a work of theology essentially directed towards the future. The Chronicler begins his work with the problem facing the whole human race in Adam-the forfeiture of the ideal of perfect oneness with God's purpose. He explores the possibility of the restoration of that ideal through Israel's place at the centre of the world of the nations.

German | ASIN: B00JUSNNYS | 2014 | 377 pages | EPUB | 9 MB




Graham Nash, Sänger und Songwriter der Hollies, Mitglied der Supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, begab sich in den 60er-Jahren auf die Reise von Nordengland über das Swinging London bis zum Sonnenstaat Kalifornien. Auf seinem Weg schuf er viele der Kulthits, die eine ganze Generation prägten, darunter 'Bus Stop', 'Carrie Anne', 'Marrakesh Express', 'Teach Your Children'.


In seiner Autobiografie berichtet Nash von seiner Kindheit und Jugend im tristen Nachrkriegs-Manchester, wo er in Armut aufwuchs, von der Gründung der Hollies zusmamen mit seinem Schulfreund Allen Clarke und dem ungeahnten Erfolg, den sie hatten; von der Freundschaft zu den Mitgliedern der wichtigsten Brit-Bands der 60er einschließlich der Beatles, Stones und Kinks; von seiner Umzug nach Amerika und seiner Beziehung zu Joni Mitchel (für die er den Song „Our House“ schrieb); von seinem Status als Superstar mit David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young.


Liebe, Sex, Eifersucht, Drogen, Musik – mit „Wild Tales“ ist Nash eine der großen Rock´n´Roll-Legenden gelungen, geschrieben von einem Isider, der nicht sogar zweimal in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen wurde.







Séminaire de Probabilités XLIV




Catherine Donati-Martin, Antoine Lejay, Alain Rouault – Séminaire de Probabilités XLIV


Published: 2012-05-17 | ISBN: 3642274609 | PDF | 448 pages | 5 MB




As usual, some of the contributions to this 44th Séminaire de Probabilités were presented during the Journées de Probabilités held in Dijon in June 2010. The remainder were spontaneous submissions or were solicited by the editors. The traditional and historical themes of the Séminaire are covered, such as stochastic calculus, local times and excursions, and martingales. Some subjects already touched on in the previous volumes are still here: free probability, rough paths, limit theorems for general processes (here fractional Brownian motion and polymers), and large deviations.


Lastly, this volume explores new topics, including variable length Markov chains and peacocks. We hope that the whole volume is a good sample of the main streams of current research on probability and stochastic processes, in particular those active in France.

A Table in the Orchard




A Table in the Orchard by Michelle Crawford


English | Sep 28, 2015 | ISBN: 0857983628 | 320 Pages | AZW3/EPUB/PDF (conv) | 43.1 MB




I dreamed of a rambling old farmhouse where I could grow my own food, learn how to bake cakes and make jam. I wanted to wear gumboots. Every day.




Organizing cocktail parties at the Sydney Opera House sounds perfectly glamorous, and for a while it was for Michelle Crawford. But once she became a mother, the yearning to find her own little slice of heaven in the country could no longer be ignored. For years she had been daydreaming of a little farmhouse, with smoke curling out of the chimney, where she could slow down and grow her own food. Last but not least, she was hungry for a new adventure. An old farmhouse nestled in Tasmania’s lush Huon Valley offered the chance to make that a dream come true—and adventure in spades, from her first doomed attempts at planting a veggie garden to raising a bunch of chickens with attitude, discovering the joys of a wood stove and foraging for treasure to make sloe gin, jam, and bake cakes. Lots of cakes. Warm, down to earth, and inspiring, and lushly illustrated with lip-smacking images and recipes, A Table in the Orchard is breathtaking proof of how seductive a taste of slow living in one of the most beautiful valleys in Tasmania might be. Like Michelle, you might be tempted to make your own crumpets—or run away to the Apple Isle.

Thermal Energy Storage for Sustainable Energy Consumption: Fundamentals, Case Studies and Design




Halime Ö. Paksoy – Thermal Energy Storage for Sustainable Energy Consumption: Fundamentals, Case Studies and Design


Published: 2007-01-05 | ISBN: 1402052898, 140205288X, 1402052901 | PDF | 428 pages | 9 MB




We all share a small planet. Our growing thirst for energy already threatens the future of our earth. Fossil fuels – energy resources of today – are not evenly distributed on the earth. 10 per cent of the world's population exploits 90 per cent of its resources. Today's energy systems rely heavily on fossil fuel resources which are diminishing ever faster. The world must prepare for a future without fossil fuels. Thermal energy storage provides us with a flexible heating and/or cooling tool to combat climate change through conserving energy and increasing energy while utilizing natural renewable energy resources. Thermal storage applications have been proven to be efficient and financially viable, yet they have not been exploited sufficiently.

Die Brüder Grimm: Eine Biographie




Steffen Martus, "Die Brüder Grimm: Eine Biographie"


2013 | German | ISBN-10: 349963015X, 3871345687 | 608 pages | EPUB | 0,7 MB




Zwei Brüder, die Geschichte schrieben Die Brüder Grimm haben den Klang unserer Kindheit bestimmt. Ihre Sammlung der Kinder- und Hausmärchen ist das weltweit meistgelesene deutsche Buch. Sie waren leidenschaftliche Helden der Gelehrsamkeit und haben das Wissen über unsere Sprache und Geschichte revolutioniert. Durch den Protest der «Göttinger Sieben» wurden sie zu politischen Stars. Und obwohl sie unter einem Dach lebten und arbeiteten, waren sie höchst unterschiedliche Charaktere. Steffen Martus zeichnet das faszinierende Porträt zweier moderner Traditionalisten und ihrer Epoche. «Ein herrliches Buch.» Berliner Zeitung «Eine Doppelbiographie, die durch ihre erzählerische Qualität besticht.» Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung








Recursively Enumerable Sets and Degrees: A Study of Computable Functions and Computably Generated Sets




Robert I. Soare – Recursively Enumerable Sets and Degrees: A Study of Computable Functions and Computably Generated Sets


Published: 1999-11-01 | ISBN: 3540152997, 0387152997, 3540666818 | PDF + DJVU | 437 pages | 11 MB




The book, written by one of the main researchers on the field, gives a complete account of the theory of r.e. degrees. The definitions, results and proofs are always clearly motivated and explained before the formal presentation; the proofs are described with remarkable clarity and conciseness. The book is highly recommended to everyone interested in logic. It also provides a useful background to computer scientists, in particular to theoretical computer scientists.


The main purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the main results and to the intricacies of the current theory for the recurseively enumerable sets and degrees. The author has managed to give a coherent exposition of a rather complex and messy area of logic, and with this book degree-theory is far more accessible to students and logicians in other fields than it used to be.

42,195: Warum wir Marathon laufen und was wir dabei denken




Matthias Politycki, "42,195: Warum wir Marathon laufen und was wir dabei denken"


2015 | German | ISBN-10: 3455503381 | 320 pages | EPUB | 1 MB




Der Schriftsteller als Marathonläufer – in 42,195 Kapiteln. Was ist das, was uns seit Jahren an- und umtreibt, das uns regelmäßig hinaustreibt aus der Geborgenheit unserer Behausungen. Was geht in uns vor, wenn wir laufen, was denken wir dabei und danach und darüber? Und was sagt das womöglich über uns aus und die Gesellschaft, in der wir leben? Matthias Politycki betrachtet einen Sport, der viel mehr ist als eine Freizeitbeschäftigung. In einer globalisierten Welt ist das Laufen zum Minimalkonsens der neuen Weltgemeinschaft geworden. Für ihn selbst ist sein Leben und Schreiben ohne Laufen längst nicht mehr denkbar. In 42,195 Kapiteln denkt Politycki über das Laufen nach und erzählt aus dem eigenen Laufleben, welches mit seiner Schriftstellerexistenz verknüpft ist.








Schwester, bleibt mein Arm so?: Geschichten von der Intensivstation




Karla Brandt, "Schwester, bleibt mein Arm so?: Geschichten von der Intensivstation"


2015 | German | ISBN-10: 383216281X | 208 pages | EPUB | 1 MB




Auf der Intensivstation ist immer was los. Gut, es geht nicht immer um Leben und Tod. Manchmal geht es auch nur um die Frage, warum der Patient in Zimmer 7 im hinteren Teil eines Zebrakostüms angeliefert worden ist oder wie man zwei afghanischen Frauen mit Handzeichen erklärt, dass Tollkirschen nicht unbedingt das beste Mittel gegen Wechseljahrsbeschwerden sind. Karla Brandt beschreibt mit wachem Blick und liebevollem Humor den alltäglichen Wahnsinn auf der Intensivstation. Kurioses, Krasses und vor allem Komisches hat sie in den neun Jahren »auf Intensiv« erlebt, hat Menschen aus allen möglichen Kulturkreisen, Lebensabschnitten und Gehaltsklassen nackt gesehen, physisch wie psychisch. Ihre Einblicke in die »Parallelwelt Krankenhaus« sind mal urkomisch, mal tieftraurig, aber immer voller Scharfblick und Menschenliebe.








Deep Purple - Die Geschichte einer Band




Jürgen Roth und Michael Sailer, "Deep Purple – Die Geschichte einer Band"


German | ISBN: 3854452519 | 2012 | 576 pages | EPUB | 2 MB




Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple – die Trinität dieser Bands wird meist genannt, wenn zur Debatte steht, wer den Hardrock oder gar das Genre des Heavy Metal erfunden hat, sofern denn ein Genre erfunden werden kann und sich nicht vielmehr aus einer ziemlich unübersichtlichen Gemengelage zeit- und musikgeschichtlicher und vor allem zufälliger persönlicher Konstellationen entwickelt. Die Bedeutung von Led Zeppelin für die Entfaltung eines neuen musikalischen Stils und einer neuartigen musikalischen Sichtweise auf die Welt ist weithin akzeptiert, unzählige Veröffentlichungen dokumentieren das. Und auch Black Sabbath dürfen sich einer nicht nur in bestimmten Subkulturen verbreiteten, zuweilen kultischen Verehrung sicher sein. Ihre Geschichte ist ordentlich aufgearbeitet. Anders verhält sich das mit Deep Purple, deren Album Deep Purple In Rock (1970) prägender und bedeutender war als das meiste, was wir aus den frühen Siebzigerjahren kennen. Deep Purple wurden in der Folge zu einer der einflussreichsten, innovativsten, erfolgreichsten und interessantesten Bands der Rockgeschichte, und so ist es siebenunddreißig Jahre nach ihrer Gründung endlich an der Zeit, die Geschichte dieser ebenso großen wie zuzeiten scheiternden und selbstzerstörerischen Gruppe zu erzählen. Jürgen Roth und Michael Sailer legen mit Deep Purple – Die Geschichte einer Band die erste deutschsprachige Darstellung über Deep Purple vor – mit dem Anspruch, alles, was wesentlich war und ist, zu berücksichtigen, ohne sich im Meer der Fakten zu verlieren, erzählend, abschweifend, einfühlend und auch distanziert, wo es trotz aller Freude an oder gar Liebe zu dieser Musik geboten erscheint. Und nicht zuletzt dürfen die komischen Irrungen und die Demütigungen, die sich die Mitglieder dieser „Supergroup“ gegenseitig zufügten oder die ihnen die Maschinerie des Rockbusiness zugefügt hat, nicht fehlen. In einem Buch, das die Einzigartigkeit dieser Band aus den musikgeschichtlichen Kontexten heraus verständlich machen will.
