Shadows of Tyranny: Defending Democracy in an Age of Dictatorship by Ken McGoogan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 12 mb
Overview: Bestselling historian and author Ken McGoogan delves into dictatorships of the twentieth century to sound this crucial alarm about the possibility of democratic collapse in the United States and its implications for Canada.
Twentieth-century novels such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale produced visions of future dystopia that rang with echoes of past tyrannies. Always implied was a warning that history’s worst chapters are never truly closed, and that we must not fail—as many of our forebears did—to recognize that the threat of totalitarianism cannot simply be wished away.
Awakening to Invasion, an alarming and engrossing work of non-fiction from acclaimed Canadian author Ken McGoogan, draws on this sense of looping history to show how figures like Donald Trump replay many aspects of the authoritarianism that spread in the middle of the last century. Calling not only on Orwell and Atwood, but also on H.G. Wells, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Jack London, and Hannah Arendt, McGoogan traces the ways democracy succumbed to paranoia, polarization, scapegoating and demagoguery less than a hundred years ago. These same forces, he argues, are now driving a far-right movement in the United States that seems devoted to using Trump’s warped charisma as a "wrecking ball" to clear the way for autocracy that closely resembles the dictatorships that stoked the Second World War.
With this prospect, McGoogan’s central questions become all the more pressing: How should Canadians respond, officially and individually, to the possibility of democratic collapse in our powerful neighbour to the south? Is talk of manifest destiny from right-wing American firebrands like Tucker Carlson just chatter for the sake of notoriety? Or is it a hint of the expansionist urges that always lie at the heart of authoritarianism, and that may one day point the American military machine in our direction on the pretext of "liberating" us?
In the cautionary spirit of earlier visionary works, Awakening to Invasion offers a galvanizing image of a dark possible future, as well as an urgent call to act in the belief that we still have the time and ability to ward it off.

Download Quantum Computation by Helmut Bez, Tony Croft (.ePUB)
Quantum Computation by Helmut Bez, Tony Croft (Advances in Applied Mathematics)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 mb
Overview: Quantum Computation presents the mathematics of quantum computation. The purpose is to introduce the topic of quantum computing to students in computer science, physics and mathematics who have no prior knowledge of this field.
The book is written in two parts. The primary mathematical topics required for an initial understanding of quantum computation are dealt with in Part I: sets, functions, complex numbers and other relevant mathematical structures from linear and abstract algebra. Topics are illustrated with examples focussing on the quantum computational aspects which will follow in more detail in Part II.
Part II discusses quantum information, quantum measurement and quantum algorithms. These topics provide foundations upon which more advanced topics may be approached with confidence.
Genre: Non-Fiction > Educational
• A more accessible approach than most competitor texts, which move into advanced, research-level topics too quickly for today’s students.
• Part I is comprehensive in providing all necessary mathematical underpinning, particularly for those who need more opportunity to develop their mathematical competence.
• More confident students may move directly to Part II and dip back into Part I as a reference.
• Ideal for use as an introductory text for courses in quantum computing.
• Fully worked examples illustrate the application of mathematical techniques.
• Exercises throughout develop concepts and enhance understanding.
• End-of-chapter exercises offer more practice in developing a secure foundation.

Download Innovating for The Circular Economy by Rachna Arora (.ePUB)
Innovating for The Circular Economy: Driving Sustainable Transformation by Rachna Arora, Dieter Mutz, Pavithra Mohanraj
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 mb
Overview: Systemic change is required to move to a circular economy (CE) model which can meet the demands of a growing population in a manner that is decoupled from resource use and waste generation. This book takes a deep dive into the innovation aspect of the circular economy (CE), with a specific focus on India as a geography, where the transformation to a circular economy is underway.
How a developing country like India is tackling the complexities of the transformation and creating innovative solutions is showcased in this book through many practical examples and inspirational case studies. The book lays out the foundations for mainstreaming resource efficiency (RE)/CE in India, and covers innovation led by businesses and start-ups, along with the innovative policies, financing, and collaborative models required to spur and accelerate circular economy approaches, while also providing linkages to the international context.
Genre: Non-Fiction > Educational
• Provides insight into the role of innovation in the circular economy transition
• Helps to develop and facilitate adoption of resource-efficiency policy and strategy with particular focus on key resource sectors and waste streams
• Treats the circular economy as a holistic approach across the entire lifecycle, and places emphasis on upstream interventions and systems change
• Examines the current context of COVID-19 and its impact on circular economy models and practices
• Touches upon how the EU-based approach was adapted and contextualised significantly to work in the unique Indian landscape
This book is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals engaged in the domains of circular economy, sustainability, business innovation, environmental studies, natural resources management, and environmental and resource conservation policy.
