Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jurgen Habermas andJacques Derrida

Ebook Download | Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jurgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida | This book succeeds in two respects. First, both interviews are significant in that they address the subject matter in an analytically rigorous manner, enticing the reader to think-which is by no means a disposable end, in an era of CNN-inspired "analysis"-.

Vladimir Vapnik, "The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory"

Ebook Download | Vladimir Vapnik, "The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory" | This book is meant to be a popularization, of sorts, of the material covered in the considerably more formal and detailed treatment, "Statistical Learning Theory."

Alessandro Del Sole, "Visual Basic 2010 Unleashed"

Ebook Download | Alessandro Del Sole, "Visual Basic 2010 Unleashed" | This is when books like "Visual Basic 2010 Unleashed" come in to fill the void. It serves the purpose of the "Software User's Guide" used to serve. It is as much about .NET platform 4.0 and Visual Stuido 2010 as it is about the Visual Basic Language. I am a software engineer and architect very experience in C++ and also have been programming with .NET using different...

Visceral Manipulation

Ebook Download | Visceral Manipulation | I read it before taking Barral's VM1 as required reading, but it didn't really "click" until AFTER the class. So, EXCELLENT book, GREAT information but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't taken Visceral Manipulation, or doesn't plan to. There's really no way to get the feel of this work by reading the book and looking at the pictures by themselves. Download Visceral Manipulation Link...

Plane Answers to Complex Questions: The Theory of Linear Models

Ebook Download | Plane Answers to Complex Questions: The Theory of Linear Models | This book is very suitable for graduate students wishing to learn some linear algebra.

What makes...

Craniosacral therapy II: Beyond the dura

Ebook Download | Craniosacral therapy II: Beyond the dura | This book is not so much a book on Craniosacral therapy technique as an indepth anatomy textbook.

He uses medical terminology and an information-dense writing style. Fortunately, there are well labeled diagrams on nearly every...
