Free Download Larry E Sullivan, "Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes: Dime Novels, Series Books, and Paperbacks"
English | ISBN: 1138978485 | 2016 | 318 pages | EPUB | 720 KB
Despite efforts of contemporary reformers to curb the availability of dime novels, series books, and paperbacks, Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes reveals how many readers used them as means of resistance and how fictional characters became models for self-empowerment. These literary genres, whose value has long been underestimated, provide fascinating insight into the formation of American popular culture and identity. Through these mass-produced, widely read books, Deadwood Dick, Old Sleuth, and Jessie James became popular heroes that fed the public's imagination for the last western frontier, detective tales, and the myth of the outlaw. Women, particularly those who were poor and endured hard lives, used the literature as means of escape from the social, economic, and cultural suppression they experienced in the nineteenth century. In addition to the insight this book provides into texts such as "The Bride of the Tomb," the Nick Carter Series, and Edward Stratemeyer's rendition of the Lizzie Borden case, readers will find interesting information about:

E-BooksPiezoelectric Electromechanical Transducers for Underwater Sound, Part III & IV



Piezoelectric Electromechanical Transducers for Underwater Sound, Part III & IV
Free Download Piezoelectric Electromechanical Transducers for Underwater Sound, Part III & IV
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781644698273 | 573 Pages | True PDF | 12.1 MB
The book presents a broad-scope analysis of piezoelectric electromechanical transducers and the related aspects of practical transducer design for underwater applications. It uses an energy method for analyzing transducer problems that provides the physical insight important for the understanding of electromechanical devices. Application of the method is first illustrated with transducer examples that can be modeled as systems with a single degree of freedom, (such as spheres, short cylinders, bars and flexural disks and plates made of piezoelectric ceramics). Thereupon, transducers are modeled as devices with multiple degrees of freedom.

E-BooksPeter's Legacy in Early Christianity The Appropriation and Use of Peter's Authority in the First Three Centuries



Peter's Legacy in Early Christianity The Appropriation and Use of Peter's Authority in the First Three Centuries
Free Download John-christian Eurell, "Peter's Legacy in Early Christianity: The Appropriation and Use of Peter's Authority in the First Three Centuries "
English | ISBN: 3161610989 | 2021 | 358 pages | PDF | 4 MB
John-Christian Eurell studies how Peter's authority is portrayed to create legitimacy in Christian texts. Peter emerges as a central figure in the diverse early Christian movement and is used to discuss theological legitimacy. The main divide is between those who argue that legitimate theology should have a conservative point of departure based on traditional material handed down from the earthly Jesus and an apostolic succession based on interpersonal relations and those who argue in favour of a more progressive point of departure which places emphasis on contemporary charismatic experiences. These perspectives are utilised by groups of various theological persuasions to argue their own position. Peter is seen as a positive and negative example for both these ways of creating legitimacy.

English | ISBN: 0700633634 | 2022 | 296 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Each year the public, media, and government wait in anticipation for the Supreme Court to announce major decisions. These opinions have shaped legal policy in areas as important as healthcare, marriage, abortion, and immigration. It is not surprising that parties and outside individuals and interest groups invest an estimated $25 million to $50 million a year to produce roughly one thousand amicus briefs to communicate information to the justices, seeking to impact these rulings. Despite the importance of the Court and the information it receives, many questions remain unanswered regarding the production of such information and its relationship to the Court's decisions.
