Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory: Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics by Chaoyuan Zhu
Requirements: .PDF reader, 49 MB
Overview: In recent decades, time-dependent density functional theory has been developed for computing excited-state properties of large-scale systems to high accuracy in biomolecules and nanomaterials, especially for ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamic simulations. It is therefore regarded as a most unique efficient method to do accurate simulation for large complex systems.

This book compiles and details cutting-edge research in quantum chemistry and chemical physics from interdisciplinary groups from Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. These groups are developing excited-state dynamics methods involving conical intersections and intersystem crossings for large complex systems. Edited by Chaoyuan Zhu, a prominent chemical physics researcher, this book will appeal to anyone involved in molecular dynamics and spectroscopy, photochemistry, biochemistry, and materials chemistry research.

The Math of Body, Soul, and the Universe by Norbert Schwarzer
Requirements: .PDF reader, 47 MB
Overview: The great German mathematician David Hilbert’s creation, de facto, was—no, is—a theory of everything or world formula, even though he himself had little chance of fully realizing this. Even in physics, where we can now show that Hilbert’s fundamental equation covers both great theories, General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory, the time was not ripe for such a discovery, simply because the mathematical apparatus of Quantum Theory was not fully developed then. While Hilbert brought out his great work in 1915 and knew about the Einstein field equations at the time, the basic quantum equations such as the Schrödinger, Klein–Gordon, and Dirac equations would not follow before the second half of the 1920s.

In order to find the mathematical and physical fundament for the description of the body, the soul, and the whole universe, which is to say a “theory of everything,” we think that we require “quantum gravity.” That such a theory—in principle—already exists and was derived by Hilbert and elaborated in the author’s previous work, The World Formula: A Late Recognition of David Hilbert’s Stroke of Genius . This book digs deeper and shows not only that quantum gravity is more than just a physical theory—describing physical aspects—but also that, in fact, it covers “it all.”

NORAD: In Perpetuity and Beyond by Andrea Charron, James Fergusson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.4 MB
Overview: The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has undergone wide-ranging changes since 2006, when it was given a new maritime warning mission and the NORAD Agreement was signed in perpetuity.

Andrea Charron and James Fergusson trace NORAD’s recent history, marked by innovations in technology and in command and control, but also by unprecedented threats. The shared defence of North America remains an important issue that should extend to other areas, such as the joint defence of the maritime and cyber domains. Fuelled by a deep curiosity about the command and its decisions made in the face of inevitable geopolitical and technological changes, this book uses a functional lens to evaluate NORAD’s options and the technological and organizational solutions needed to defend North America. The authors investigate the ways in which the NORAD command might adapt in the future as it struggles to modernize and keep ahead of new threats.

This book comes at a critical time. The rise of new peer competitors requires a fundamental reconsideration of North American defence. As one of very few contemporary analyses of the command and its future, NORAD will be a vital tool for scholars and practitioners.

The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare’s Poetry (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Jonathan F. S. Post
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5 MB
Overview: The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare’s Poetry contains 38 original essays written by leading Shakespeareans around the world. Collectively, these essays seek to return readers to a revivified understanding of Shakespeare’s verbal artistry in both the poems and the drama.

The volume understands poetry to be not just a formal category designating a particular literary genre but to be inclusive of the dramatic verse as well and of Shakespeare’s influence as a poet on later generations of writers in English and beyond. Focusing on a broad set of interpretive concerns, the volume tackles general matters of Shakespeare’s style, earlier and later; questions of influence from classical, continental, and native sources; the importance of words, line, and rhyme to meaning; the significance of songs and ballads in the drama; the place of gender in the verse, including the relationship of Shakespeare’s poetry to the visual arts; the different values attached to speaking “Shakespeare” in the theatre; and the adaptation of Shakespearean verse (as distinct from performance) into other periods and languages.

Saving Our Own Lives: A Liberatory Practice of Harm Reduction by Shira Hassan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 8 MB
Overview: Harm reduction is one of the most important movements of the 20th century, and yet a compilation of its critical stories and voices was, until now, seemingly nowhere to be found. Saving Our Own Lives, an anthology of essays from long-time organizer Shira Hassan, fills this gap by telling the stories of how sex workers, people of color, queer folks, and trans, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit people are building systems of change and support outside the societal frameworks of oppression and exploitation.

This is a collective story of Bad Date sheets passed between sex workers in Portland, leading to the identification of a serial killer. It is the story of clean syringes, “liberated” from empathetic doctors offices and passed between punks in squats in the East Village by women of color, and the early AIDS activists who made sure that everyone knew how to use them. It is the story of transwomen of color, street-based sex workers, who created shared housing to ensure that young people had safe places to sleep. It is the story of Black Panthers creating a free breakfast program to feed a revolution and the Young Lords taking over Lincoln Park Hospital in the Bronx to demand and ultimately create community-accessible drug treatment programs.

The Alchemy of Us by Ainissa Ramirez
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 422kb
Overview: In the bestselling tradition of Stuff Matters and The Disappearing Spoon: a clever and engaging look at materials, the innovations they made possible, and how these technologies changed us.

In The Alchemy of Us, scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez examines eight inventions—clocks, steel rails, copper communication cables, photographic film, light bulbs, hard disks, scientific labware, and silicon chips—and reveals how they shaped the human experience. Ramirez tells the stories of the woman who sold time, the inventor who inspired Edison, and the hotheaded undertaker whose invention pointed the way to the computer. She describes, among other things, how our pursuit of precision in timepieces changed how we sleep; how the railroad helped commercialize Christmas; how the necessary brevity of the telegram influenced Hemingway’s writing style; and how a young chemist exposed the use of Polaroid’s cameras to create passbooks to track black citizens in apartheid South Africa. These fascinating and inspiring stories offer new perspectives on our relationships with technologies.

Ramirez shows not only how materials were shaped by inventors but also how those materials shaped culture, chronicling each invention and its consequences—intended and unintended. Filling in the gaps left by other books about technology, Ramirez showcases little-known inventors—particularly people of color and women—who had a significant impact but whose accomplishments have been hidden by mythmaking, bias, and convention. Doing so, she shows us the power of telling inclusive stories about technology. She also shows that innovation is universal—whether it’s splicing beats with two turntables and a microphone or splicing genes with two test tubes and CRISPR.

A Modernist Fantasy: Modernism, Anarchism, and the Radical Fantastic by James Gifford
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: A Modernist Fantasy unearths a legacy of politically radical and formally experimental modernist fantasy fiction, a red thread running from the 1890s to the 1970s. But the recuperation of that lost tradition is as important as revising the critical traditions that excluded it from the start, an exclusion that challenges how we understand modernism itself. The endless definitions of genre and rhetorics in fantasy and science fiction are transformed here by modernist studies as a catalyst. In both stances, anarchist critical and artistic praxis conjures a pathway to flexible new links between fields and ideas.

Antitrust Policy in Health Care Markets by Tirza J. Angerhofer, Roger D. Blair, Christine Piette Durrance
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.1 MB
Overview: Health care costs in the United States are much higher than in other countries. These cost differences can be explained in part by a lack of competition in the United States. Some markets, such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, have elements of monopoly. Other markets, such as health insurance, have elements of monopsony. Many other markets may be subject to collusion on prices, such as generic drugs, or wages, such as the nurse labor market. Lawful monopoly and monopsony are beyond the reach of antitrust laws, but collusion is not. When appropriate, vigorous antitrust enforcement challenging anticompetitive conduct can aid in reducing health care costs. This book addresses monopoly, monopsony, cartels of sellers and buyers, horizontal and vertical merger policy, and antitrust enforcement through private suits as well as the efforts of the antitrust Agencies. The authors demonstrate how enforcing antitrust laws can ultimately promote competition and reduce health care costs.
