    Just Freedom: A Moral Compass for a Complex World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
    An esteemed philosopher offers a vision for the central role of one of our most cherished—and controversial—ideas.In this rigorous distillation of his political philosophy, Philip Pettit, author of the landmark work Republicanism, champions a simple standard for our most complex political judgments, offering a challenging ideal that nevertheless holds out a real prospect for social and democratic progress. Whereas many thinkers define freedom as the absence of interference—we are left alone to do as we please—Pettit demands that in their basic life choices free persons should not even be subject to a power of interference on the part of others. This notion of freedom as non-domination offers a yardstick for gauging social and democratic progress and provides a simple, unifying standard for analyzing our most entangled political quandaries.Pettit reaffirms the ideal, already present in the Roman Republic, of a free citizenry who enjoy equal status with one another, being individually protected by a law that they together control. After sketching a fresh history of freedom, he turns to the implications of the ideal for social, democratic, and international justice.Should the state erect systems for delivering mandatory healthcare coverage to its citizens? Should voting be a citizen’s only means of influencing political leaders? Are the demands of the United Nations to be heeded when they betray the sovereignty of the state? Pettit shows how these and other questions should be resolved within a civic republican perspective.Concise and elegant in its rhetoric and ultimately radical in its reimagining of our social arrangements, Just Freedom is neither a theoretical treatise nor a practical manifesto, but rather an ardent attempt to elaborate the demands of freedom and justice in our time. ungekürzt.

    Building Self-Esteem and Confidence: A Practical Guide for Self-Improvement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    Esteem is a common term and normally it is related to the importance or worth we give to certain people, happenings and places around us. There might be different ways to gauge the value of esteem we give to anyone around us. This gauge varies from person to person. Everyone has his own way of judging others and then gauging his judgment. Similarly, some might give sportsmen more esteem than doctors, lawyers or actors. It depends and it varies; it's not a constant phenomenon all around us. Among all forms of esteem, self-esteem is the most important one. Self-esteem is a fundamental requirement if you want to succeed in your life. In this world of competition, one can easily fall prey to wrong methods of success but it is self-esteem that will guide you to the right path. Our world is still a safe place to live because of this quality of human nature; imagine the world without self-esteem in individuals, it would be nothing less than chaos. The level of a person's self-esteem changes depending upon happenings around him. He feels elevated if he gets good grades or gets appreciation from a boss. Any good news in the family will raise his self-esteem to new heights. On the other hand breakups, financial loss or a small fight with a friend might let him down. These fluctuations are part of life and the challenge is how to overcome these situations and maintain a high self-esteem throughout. Normal fluctuations in life are a common phenomenon. The one who will have strong self-esteem will pass through these ups and downs in a steady manner. He will not be affected much by these fluctuations; even if he is, it would be for short interval only. On the contrary, the one with low self-esteem will find it difficult to negotiate such tough situations in life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lynnae Stanwick.

    Chinaberry Sidewalks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 530min
    From the acclaimed musician comes a tender, surprising, and often uproarious memoir about his dirt-poor southeast Texas boyhood. The only child of a hard-drinking father and a Holy Roller mother, Rodney Crowell was no stranger to bombast from an early age, whether knock-down-drag-outs at a local dive bar or fire-and-brimstone sermons at Pentecostal tent revivals. He was an expert at reading his father's mercurial moods and gauging exactly when his mother was likely to erupt, and even before he learned to ride a bike, he was often forced to take matters into his own hands. He broke up his parents raucous New Year's Eve party with gunfire and ended their slugfest at the local drive-in (actual restaurants weren't on the Crowell's menu) by smashing a glass pop bottle over his own head. Despite the violent undercurrents always threatening to burst to the surface, he fiercely loved his epilepsy-racked mother, who scorned boring preachers and improvised wildly when the bills went unpaid. And he idolized his blustering father, a honky-tonk man who took his boy to see Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash perform live, and bought him a drum set so he could join his band at age eleven. Shot through with raggedy friends and their neighborhood capers, hilariously awkward adolescent angst, and an indelible depiction of the bloodlines Crowell came from, Chinaberry Sidewalks also vividly re-creates Houston in the fifties: a rough frontier town where icehouses sold beer by the gallon on paydays; teeming with musical venues from standard roadhouses to the Magnolia Gardens, where name-brand stars brought glamour to a place starved for it; filling up with cheap subdivisions where blue-collar day laborers could finally afford a house of their own; a place where apocalyptic hurricanes and pest infestations were nearly routine. ungekürzt.

    Master Your Emotions: Life Starts Out of Your Head! A Proven Program to Develop Self-Control, Overcome Negative Thoughts and Manage Your Feelings. How Positive Psychology Can Make You Happier! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min
    Emotions are never easy to understand. That is because, for most of our lives, we have let them manage us. We haven’t taken the time to understand them because we are too distracted by events that are happening around us.Emotional intelligence is one of the most important things in our lives. Even if we have strong intelligence, if we are not in tune with our emotions, then we cannot live fruitful and productive lives.Instead, we struggle to relate to others around us and don’t have empathy, which can step on the toes of people in our lives. Maybe you don’t have a high EQ, but the good news is, you can develop your EQ and get better at gauging and responding to other people’s emotions.We all have emotional moments. They are what make us human beings. Often, we can be enclosed in our little worlds and not get out of it. We may hide behind our emotions and repress them under the shield of saving face or other things. But if we can express our emotions in healthy ways, then we will feel better and also will have better relationships with those around us.We are busy at work. We have bills to pay. We are worried about our family. But the important thing to realize is that if we do not set aside the time to manage our emotions, then we are always going to be stuck in an endless loop of negative emotions. We will never get the opportunity to break free and truly work towards things that add purpose to our lives and make us happier. And before we know it, we have already wasted most of our lives playing catch-up to our emotions. This guide will focus on the following:Why is it important to master your emotions?What makes emotions so powerful?Theories of emotionsUnderstanding your emotionsThe importance of empathyEmotional competence. How to develop it?Decluttering your mindBuilding your emotional resilienceTransforming emotions in emotional ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tyler McGuire.

    A Confederate Cannoneer at Gettysburg: The Life and Career of Edward Porter Alexander , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
    In the narrative of the Civil War, Edward Porter Alexander has loomed larger in death than in life. Just 25 years old when the war broke out, Porter Alexander had already served as an engineer and officer in the US Army, but the native Georgian resigned his commission in May 1861 and joined the Confederacy after his home state seceded. Porter Alexander spent 1861 as an intelligence officer, and he served as part of a signal guard, but he soon became chief of ordnance for Joseph Johnston's army near Richmond. Half a year later, Johnston would be injured during the Peninsula Campaign at the Battle of Seven Pines, after which he was replaced by Robert E. Lee. Over the course of 1862, Porter Alexander took on more roles in the Army of Northern Virginia's artillery branch, particularly under James Longstreet's 1st Corps. Though he participated in several battles, he played his biggest role at the Battle of Gettysburg. On the third day, Lee decided to make a thrust at the center of the Union's line with about 15,000 men spread out over three divisions. Though it is now known as Pickett's Charge, named after division commander George Pickett, the assignment for the charge was given to Longstreet, whose 1st Corps included Pickett's division. Lee's decision necessitated a heavy artillery bombardment of the Union line in an attempt to knock out the Union's own artillery before beginning the charge that would cover nearly a mile of open space from Seminary Ridge to the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. Lee tasked Porter Alexander, in charge of the 1st Corps' guns, to conduct the artillery bombardment. What resulted was the largest sustained bombardment of the Civil War, with over 150 Confederate cannons across the line firing incessantly at the Union line, for nearly 2 hours. Unfortunately for Porter Alexander and the Confederates, the sheer number of cannons belched so much smoke, that they had trouble gauging how effective the shells were. As it turned ungekürzt.

    A Dater's Guide to Interpreting Body Language: Master the Secrets of Non-Verbal Communication While Flirting & Dating , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
    A Dater’s Guide to Interpreting Body Language Interpreting body language, reading microexpressions, gauging honesty; these sound like training for a field agent in the FBI, right? Believe it or not, learning to do these things can help you date more successfully. Body language is universal. Two people who don’t speak the same language can often interpret the intention and actions of others. Sure, a wink or smile is easy to recognize as flirting, but what about which direction her toes are pointing? In A Dater’s Guide to Interpreting Body Language, you will be given a thorough course on how to interpret body language, read micro-expressions and feel confident either he or she is into you or not. Starting at the top and working his way down to the feet, author Steven Kozak breaks it down for the serious dater who wants to save time chasing the wrong guy or girl. The eyes, the nose, even the ears all send out signals that say, “I’m into you,” or, “I’m outta here.” Why set yourself up for rejection or miss out on the love of your life simply because you could not read body cues, gestures, and expressions that can tell you almost immediately if someone is interested in you or not before they even say a word? Don’t be misled by a woman with her arms crossed. She may not be rejecting you, but trying to catch your attention instead. Ladies, if the guy you are talking to is drumming his fingers on the table, zip your lips. He’s bored and not really interested, so it’s time to make polite excuses and move on. Even after you find Ms. or Mr. Right, A Dater's Guide to Interpreting Body Language can help with communication in the relationship without saying a word. Know the signs of an angry or frustrated guy (or co-worker) and steer clear until his pupils are dilated when he looks at you, and he’s flashing you the “drop jaw smile,” then it’s time to move in a little closer. Dating doesn’t have to be ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin B. Lillis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/027273/bk_acx0_027273_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images
    A thorough introduction to computer processing of remotely-sensed images, processing methods, and applicationsRemote sensing is a crucial form of measurement that allows for the gauging of an object or space without direct physical contact, allowing for the assessment and recording of a target under conditions which would normally render access difficult or impossible. This is done through the analysis and interpretation of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that is reflected or emitted by an object, surveyed and recorded by an observer or instrument that is not in contact with the target. This methodology is particularly of importance in Earth observation by remote sensing (EO), wherein airborne or satellite-borne instruments of EMR provide data on the planet's land, seas, ice, and atmosphere. This permits scientists to establish relationships between the measurements and the nature and distribution of phenomena on the Earth's surface or within the atmosphere.Still relying on a visual approach to the material, the fifth edition of this successful textbook provides students with methods of computer processing of remotely sensed data and introducing them to environmental applications which make use of remotely-sensed products. The new edition's content has been rearranged to be more clearly focused on image processing methods and applications in remote sensing with new examples, including material on the Copernicus missions, microsatellites and recently launched SAR satellites, as well as time series analysis methods.The fifth edition of Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images also contains:* A cohesive presentation of the fundamental components of earth observation remote sensing that is easy to understand and highly digestible* Largely non-technical language providing insights into more advanced topics that may be too difficult for a non-mathematician to understand* Illustrations and example boxes throughout the book to illustrate concepts, as well as revised examples that reflect the latest information* References and links to the most up-to-date online and open access sources used by studentsComputer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students taking courses in remote sensing and GIS in Geography, Geology, and Earth/Environmental Science departments.
