Amazon Publishing I Have Always Been Me: A Memoir
A powerful memoir of independence, releasing the past, and living the dream by award-winning trans advocate Precious Brady-Davis. Precious Brady-Davis remembers the sense of being singular and grappling with “otherness.” Born into traumatic circumstances, Davis was brought up in the Omaha foster care system and the Pentecostal faith. As a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid, she felt displaced. Yet she realized by coming into her identity that she had a purpose all along. In I Have Always Been Me, Brady-Davis reflects on a childhood of neglect, instability, and abandonment. She reveals her determination to dream through it and shares her profound journey as a trans woman now fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious. She speaks to anyone who has ever tried to find their place in this world and imparts the wisdom that comes with surmounting odds and celebrating on the other side. A memoir, a love story, and an outreach for the marginalized, Precious’s sojourn is a song of self-reliance and pride and an invitation to join in the chorus.

Peeters Publishers Recherches Levinassiennes
Le receuil Recherches levinassiennes presente le dialogue attentif de 29 auteurs, surtout des philosophes mais aussi des theologiens, avec la pensee de Levinas, permettant a cette pensee de reveler des aspects jusque-la inconnus. Tant dans la premiere partie "Problematisations internes" que dans la deuxieme "Confrontations philosophiques", les differents contributeurs s'interessent au dialogue que Levinas lui-meme menait, sans cesse, avec d'autres philosophes comme Platon, Spinoza, Pascal, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Bergson, Bloch, Sartre, Derrida. Cette inspiration multiple fait de Levinas un penseur d'appartenance plurielle.Dans le contexte de la recherche de cette multiplicite, les thematiques typiquement levinassiennes sont egalement mises en relief: l'ambivalence du moi en tant qu'interiorite; la dynamique triangulaire de "moi, vous, il(s)" et la relation entre la justice et la politique; le depassement de l'ontologie par l'ethique en tant que philosophie premiere; l'ambiguite de l'altruisme, interprete comme "instinct de bienveillance naturelle", oppose a l'heteronomie de la responsabilite par et pour autrui; l'alterite ethique du visage et le temps en tant que passe immemorial; la relation entre transcendance et immanence dans l'idee de l'infini. La troisieme partie intitulee "Tradition juive et lectures chretiennes" donne une attention particuliere a l'enracinement et la resonance juifs de la pensee levinassienne. Le lien entre la Bible et le Talmud donne a penser les modalites d'une lecture philosophique de la Bible. Un certain nombre d'idees emanant du judaisme, telle que le messianisme, le prophetisme, l'election, l'idolatrie, le monotheisme, l'infini..., amenent des theologiens chretiens a un veritable dialogue avec la pensee de Levinas, mettant en evidence a la fois la proximite et la difference irreductible entre judaisme et christianisme.

McGraw-Hill Education ISE Fundamentals of Structural Analysis
Fundamentals of Structural Analysis introduces to engineering and architecture students a range of techniques for analyzing structures, from classical methods to matrix analysis upon which modern computer analysis is based. After an introduction to design loads, a thoughtful review of prerequisite skills in statics for analyzing statically determinate structures is presented. Methods for computing deflections then pave the way for classical methods of analyzing indeterminate structures–the flexibility, slope-deflection, and moment distribution methods. Approximate analysis techniques useful for practical design are then presented. For application to bridge-type structures with moving loads, the concept of influence lines is also covered. Finally, the stiffness method is introduced and extended upon in the direct stiffness method using matrix analysis. Throughout, carefully drawn figures, helpful insights, and practical examples and problems are presented to make this text a useful guide for students (and practitioners) to learn the essential skills for analyzing structures.

Oxford University Press The Letters, Writings, and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell: Volume 3: 16 December 1653 to 2 September 1658
This is the first truly scholarly edition of all the recorded writings and recorded speech acts of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) and consists of more than 1,000 texts. Oliver Cromwell, one of Britain's greatest and most controversial generals, rose from lowly provincial origins to preside over the trial and execution of a king, to undertake the most complete conquest of Ireland and Scotland ever achieved, and to spend the last five years of his life as head of state, as Lord Protector of Britain and Ireland. A passionate speaker who claimed to be called by God to overthrow tyranny in church and state, and a powerful advocate for a very broad religious liberty and equality, his speeches and letters reveal the public and the private man more completely than for almost any other early modern political leader. This new edition not only publishes a number of new items, but also edits a large number from recovered originals not previously edited. Every item has its own detailed introduction explaining the status of the text and its context or contexts, but also very full annotation - identifying for example almost every person, place and event mentioned in the text and also - where there is no holograph but also variant copies - all significant differences between variant early copies.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Impact of Climate Change on Regional Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis of California
Climate scientists have determined that recent global temperature increases are due in large part to increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Even if mitigation of these gases begins immediately, there is every reason to believe that climate change will continue to occur. Every region in the world ought to forecast, as the contributors do in this study of California (a region of broad variation and high population), how it will be affected by climate change and how it might best adapt. Models are used to estimate potential physical and biological impacts, efficient adaptations, and residual damages from climate change. The contributors cover a broad array of climate change impacts on affected market sectors (including water supply, agriculture, coastal resources, timber, and energy demand) as well as ecosystems and biodiversity. An integrated hydrologic-agriculture model is developed to explore how the region would adapt to changes in water flows. Interactions between climate impacts and population and economic growth, urbanization, and technological change are also explored. For example, the study examines how both climate change and projected land development affect the region's terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity.The level of geographical detail, along with the broad applicability of the modeling, methodology, and conclusions, make this a unique and valuable reference for environmental economists, scientists, planners, and policymakers.

University of Texas Press Anita Brenner: A Mind of Her Own
Journalist, historian, anthropologist, art critic, and creative writer, Anita Brenner was one of Mexico's most discerning interpreters. Born to a Jewish immigrant family in Mexico a few years before the Revolution of 1910, she matured into an independent liberal who defended Mexico, workers, and all those who were treated unfairly, whatever their origin or nationality. In this book, her daughter, Susannah Glusker, traces Brenner's intellectual growth and achievements from the 1920s through the 1940s. Drawing on Brenner's unpublished journals and autobiographical novel, as well as on her published writing, Glusker describes the origin and impact of Brenner's three major books, Idols Behind Altars,Your Mexican Holiday, and The Wind That Swept Mexico. Along the way, Glusker traces Brenner's support of many liberal causes, including her championship of Mexico as a haven for Jewish immigrants in the early 1920s. This intellectual biography brings to light a complex, fascinating woman who bridged many worlds—the United States and Mexico, art and politics, professional work and family life.
