Agassiz"s Legacy: Scientists" Reflections on the Value of Field Experience (repost)




Agassiz"s Legacy: Scientists" Reflections on the Value of Field Experience by Elizabeth Higgins Gladfelter


English | 2002 | ISBN: 0195154428 | 456 pages | PDF | 4,3 MB




Compelling oral histories from many of the most interesting and important field investigators who came into their prime in the 1950"s through the 1990"s, describing the role of mentors and students, field courses and field experiences in determining their careers. Backgrounds, education and scientific contributions are elucidated through interviews. Presented in chronological sequence by generation and placed in the context of broader societal influences, these oral histories are used to examine how the pendulum in modern science has swung from description to theory; from generalization to specialization; from emphasis on teaching to domination by research and administrative hierarchies. Read at one level, these vignettes portray the profound sense of fun and joy of science, both as an activity and a career. At another level, the text provides a historical tale of science and scientists that is not normally told.

Rethinking Pluralism: Ritual, Experience, and Ambiguity




Rethinking Pluralism: Ritual, Experience, and Ambiguity by Adam B. Seligman and Robert P. Weller


English | 2012 | ISBN: 0199915261, 0199915288 | 256 pages | PDF | 1 MB




How can we order the world while accepting its enduring ambiguities? Rethinking Pluralism suggests a new approach to the problem of ambiguity and social order, which goes beyond the default modern position of "notation" (resort to rules and categories to disambiguate). The book argues that alternative, more particularistic modes of dealing with ambiguity through ritual and shared experience better attune to contemporary problems of living with difference. It retrieves key aspects of earlier discussions of ambiguity evident in rabbinic commentaries, Chinese texts, and Greek philosophical and dramatic works, and applies those texts to modern problems. The book is a work of recuperation that challenges contemporary constructions of tradition and modernity. In this, it draws on the tradition of pragmatism in American philosophy, especially John Dewey"s injunctions to heed the particular, the contingent and experienced as opposed to the abstract, general and disembodied. Only in this way can new forms of empathy emerge congruent with the deeply plural nature of our present experience. While we cannot avoid the ambiguities inherent to the categories through which we construct our world, the book urges us to reconceptualize the ways in which we think about boundaries – not just the solid line of notation, but also the permeable membrane of ritualization and the fractal complexity of shared experience.












The Rails View: Creating a Beautiful and Maintainable User Experience (Repost)




Bruce Williams and John Athayde, "The Rails View: Creating a Beautiful and Maintainable User Experience"


English | 2012 | ISBN-10: 1934356875 | EPUB | 264 pages | 3 MB




Working in the View layer requires a breadth of knowledge and attention to detail unlike anywhere else in Rails. One wrong move can result in brittle, complex views that stop future development in its tracks. This book will help you break free from tangles of logic and markup in your views as you pick up the practical skills you need to implement your user interface cleanly and maintainably.




You"ll discover how to build up solid, sustainable layouts and popular interface elements with semantic HTML5 and CSS3, and when you can responsibly generate markup and use advanced presenters… all without leaving the designers on your team out in the cold. Widen your appeal with responsive design, and discover how new progressive enhancement techniques can take you beyond the "weakest link" approach of the past. Master the asset pipeline introduced in Rails 3.1 and use Sass and Coffeescript to make your interface code shorter and more enjoyable.




You"ll create elegant, well-structured views that are a joy to build on. You"ll appreciate its comprehensive, objective guidance in a realm full of subjective opinions.




What You Need:




All examples in the book assume Rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.9.x are installed. Detailed information on how to install these for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux is included in the book.

Jason Hanson - Ultimate Concealed Carry Experience




Jason Hanson – Ultimate Concealed Carry Experience


DVDRip | MP4/AVC, ~800 kb/s | 640×360 | Duration: 01:48:59 | English: AAC, 119 kb/s (2 ch) | + 5 PDF Guides | 726 MB

Genre: Self-Defense






Hi. My name is Jason Hanson. I’m a former CIA Officer. I’m the author of The Covert Guide to Concealed Carry: Confessions of a Former CIA Officer. And, I’m a contributing writer to Concealed Carry Magazine, Personal and Home Defense Magazine, and Combat Handguns Magazine… to name a few. The reason I share this with you is because I’d like to invite you to a one-of-a-kind online training that could forever change your life, as it has already done for so many others





Bonus books include:



1) The Covert Guide to Concealed Carry: Confessions of a former CIA Officer.




You’ll get a copy of my popular book that covers everything you need to know about concealed carry. In the past, the only way to get this book was ordering it from Amazon, but now it’s yours free.




In the first chapter you’ll learn, “How the CIA and My Top Secret Security Clearance Could Help Save Your Life.”




Chapter three discusses, “The Single Most Important Factor of Concealed Carry Tradecraft.”




And chapter 13 covers a topic you don’t want to miss: “How to Legally Handle the Aftermath of a Shooting.” You’ll have instant access to this book when you sign up for the Ultimate Concealed Carry Experience.





2) 108-Point Home Security Checklist:




This checklist is usually reserved for my private clients who pay me $ 500 for a home security analysis.




Now you don’t have to pay $ 500 to get this checklist because it’s yours free. As soon as you finish the Ultimate Concealed Carry Training, I recommend taking out the checklist to make sure your home is as intruder-proof as possible.





3) Defensive Pistol Targets:




To help you improve your shooting skills while at the range, I’m going to give you two of my targets from the defensive pistol courses I teach.




The first target is called the “3 Circles” target and the second one I call the “Snowman Drill” target. Both targets will help you learn how to quickly engage multiple threats and find the right balance between speed and precision.




Practicing on these targets helps tremendously to build your confidence when it comes to defending yourself.






4) 30-Day Urban Survival Guide: What you need to know to be self-sufficient for 30 days.




With the world we live in today, I believe it’s important that all Americans have the ability to sustain themselves for 30 days.




This report shows you how much water each person needs per day, including my two favorite ways to store water at home. I also show you how I’ve personally set up my food storage, and I also cover a few of my favorite survival guns.





5) 7 Ways to Keep Your Family Safer This Year




This report tells the story of how a woman tried to hire me as a bodyguard after she and her son suffered a vicious home invasion. Secrets in this report include a simple $ 12 gadget, which is one of the easiest ways to deter an intruder.
