Free Download Stan Gaz, "Sites of Impact: Meteorite Craters Around the World"
English | ISBN: 156898815X | 2009 | 145 pages | PDF | 17 MB
The best-preserved impact sites are often difficult to access - buried under ice, obscured by foliage, or baking in desert climes. These desolate landscapes are connected to another place outside of our world, and for photographer Stan Gaz they are sites of pilgrimage - steps in a journey begun as a curious young boy accompanying his father on geological expeditions, and culminating in a six-year journey traveling the globe in search of these sites, much of that time spent leaning his medium format camera out of an open-sided helicopter. The eightyfive astounding black-and-white photographs collected in Sites of Impact transcend the purely documentary and intersect the sublime. In addition to photographs of the craters and their surrounding landscapes, Gaz includes photographs of actual meteorites and of his own carefully crafted sculptures that recreate their often dynamic form and mimic their specific mineral content. Anecdotal passages about the artist's experiences photographing each crater are interspersed with scientific data regarding the crater's location, age, structure, and condition.

Free Download Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI: Materials to VLSI by Jean-Pierre Colinge
English | PDF | 2004 | 375 Pages | ISBN : 1402077734 | 42.6 MB
Silicon-on-Insulator Technology: Materials to VLSI, Third Edition, retraces the evolution of SOI materials, devices and circuits over a period of roughly twenty years. Twenty years of progress, research and development during which SOI material fabrication techniques have been born and abandoned, devices have been invented and forgotten, but, most importantly, twenty years during which SOI Technology has little by little proven it could outperform bulk silicon in every possible way. The turn of the century turned out to be a milestone for the semiconductor industry, as high-quality SOI wafers suddenly became available in large quantities. From then on, it took only a few years to witness the use of SOI technology in a wealth of applications ranging from audio amplifiers and wristwatches to 64-bit microprocessors.

Free Download Sewasiw Tigrinya Bsefihu/a Comprehensive Tigrinya Grammar By Amanuel Sahle
1998 | 118 Pages | ISBN: 1569020965 | PDF | 12 MB
Written entirely in Tigrinya, this is a book for the advanced learner of the language. It is a new analytical approach to the complex rules of Tigrinya grammar. Primarily, the author has made use of the traditional Ge'ez (the ancient classical root language from which Tigrinya is derived) grammatical analysis. Where this may be too intricate to be appreciated by the modern student/reader, he has resorted to other comparative grammatical studies, including that of European as well as Amharic grammatical analysis. The modern European approaches are used for comparative purposes and as a sort of guideline, though the author cautions that this work should not be taken as a European grammatical imitation.The book is designed for use as a reference or textbook for high school students, or those who want to study advanced-level Tigrinya. The grammar lessons in each section are accompanied by numerous examples and exercises.

Free Download Bernard Frischer, "Sculpted Word: Epicureanism and Philosophical Recruitment in Ancient Greece"
English | ISBN: 0520307356 | 2022 | 370 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
This study of the recruitment techniques used by the philosophical schools of Hellenistic Greece. Bernard Frischer focusses on the Epicureans, who are of special interest because their approach was at once extremely passive and extremely successful. Unlike other philosophical schools, which depended primarioly on public lectures and books, the Epicureans avoided contract with the dominant culture and attracted members by erecting statues of Epicurus and their other master in public places. These iconologically rich, "sculpted words" appealed to teh very people most likely to be attracted to Epicureanism, those most likely to accept the philosophy of materialism, sensationalism, and the repression of feeling, and those who sought a way of life sperate from teh dominant culture. This book is an innovative application of an inter-disciplinary humanistic an social-scientific approach to ancient Greek philosophy and art. It will appeal to those interested in the history of these subjects and those interested in the sociology of knowledge and communication. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
