Free Download Radical Adaptation: Transforming Cities for a Climate Changed World
English | 2024 | ISBN: 100921117X | 165 Pages | PDF | 17 MB
This book considers the everyday conduits through which climate instability will manifest: the storm sewer drain on your street, the powerlines transporting your electricity, the mix of vegetation in your backyard or neighborhood park – these are the channels through which climate change is most likely to impact your life. For many, these are the last places we expect it to. In this book, Stone’s aim is to understand how climate change is altering our lives in the present period – this period of transition between the ancient, stable climate of our ancestors and the unfolding, no longer stable climate of our children – and how our cities might adapt to these changes. Stone’s concern is with the risks posed by a new environmental regime for which our modes of living are ill adapted, and with how these modes of living must be altered – radically altered – to persist in a climate changed world.

Free Download The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right’s Assault on American Democracy by David Neiwert, Adam Barr, Tantor Audio
English | 2023 | ISBN: B0CNBFKZXH | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 128 Kbps / 16 hours and 15 minutes | 910 Mb
From a smattering of ominous right-wing compounds in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s, to the shocking January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol, America has seen the culmination of a long-building war on democracy being waged by a fundamentally violent and antidemocratic far-right movement that unironically calls itself the "Patriot" movement.
So how did we get here? Award-winning journalist David Neiwert-who has been following the rise of these extremist groups since the late 1970s, when he was a young reporter in Idaho-explores how the movement was built over decades, how it was set aflame by Donald Trump and his cohorts, and how it will continue to attack American democracy for the foreseeable future. Neiwert especially studies how the Pacific Northwest has long been a breeding ground of extremist violence, from the time when neo-nazis migrated to the area from southern California in the 1970s, through the great battles in Portland and Seattle and neighboring towns over the last decade.
Laying out how these groups organize their terroristic violence and attacks on democratic institutions at every level-including local, state, and federal targets-Neiwert details what their strategies and plans look like for the foreseeable future.

Free Download Market Mind Games: A Radical Psychology of Investing, Trading and Risk by Denise Shull, Donna Postel, McGraw Hill-Ascent Audio
English | 2021 | ISBN: B09C11F3NW | Format: M4A / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 7 hours and 29 minutes | 204 Mb
Seize the advantage in every risk decision with the most misunderstood asset you have – human emotion.
What if the mystery of market crashes stems from a simple but total misunderstanding of our own minds? Could everything we think we know about ourselves – intelligence and rationality versus emotion and irrationality – be wildly off the mark? Simply put: yes.
With these words, Denise Shull introduces her radical – and supremely rational – approach to risk. Her vision stems from the indisputable fact that human beings can’t make any decision at all without emotion and that emotion gets the first – and last – word when it comes to our perceptions and judgments.

Free Download A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD: Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, and Break Through Barriers by Sari Solden MS, Michelle Frank PsyD, Ellen Littman – foreword
English | 2021 | ISBN: B08VL5YQD6 | 6 hours and 42 minutes / Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps | 368 Mb
If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known – all your life – that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways-from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents.
Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It’s time for a change.
A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life.

Free Download Fabio Luis Barbosa Dos Santos, "The Radical Right: Politics of Hate on the Margins of Global Capital "
English | ISBN: 9004526382 | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book discusses five cases of hatred politics on the margins of global capital: Turkey under Erdogan (assumed office in 2003), Hungary under Orbán (assumed office in 2010), India under Modi (assumed office in 2014); the Philippines under Duterte (assumed office in 2016) and Brazil under Bolsonaro (assumed office in 2019). How did they come to power? What strategies of legitimation do they employ? What resistances do they face? Country case studies lay the foundation for a systematic comparison that illuminates the key dynamics of this novel political form. Analyses of their responses to the Covid-19 pandemic further shed light on their methods in a time of crisis and a chapter that considers the Trump presidency indicates how we can understand these leaderships given their pronounced counterpart in the Global North – and vice-versa. This is not a mere collection of texts commissioned from specialists, but the result of a two-year-long collective endeavor: an international taskforce to respond to a global phenomenon.

Free Download Ryan Carr, "Samson Occom: Radical Hospitality in the Native Northeast "
English | ISBN: 0231210337 | 2023 | 352 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The Mohegan-Brothertown minister Samson Occom (1723-1792) was a prominent political and religious leader of the Indigenous peoples of present-day New York and New England, among whom he is still revered today. An international celebrity in his day, Occom rose to fame as the first Native person to be ordained a minister in the New England colonies. In the 1770s, he helped found the nation of Brothertown, where Coastal Algonquian families seeking respite from colonialism built a new life on land given to them by the Oneida Nation. Occom was a highly productive author, probably the most prolific Native American writer prior to the late nineteenth century. Most of Occom’s writings, however, have been overlooked, partly because many of them are about Christian themes that seem unrelated to Native life.

Free Download Harry van der Hulst, "Principles of Radical CV Phonology: A Theory of Segmental and Syllabic Structure "
English | ISBN: 1474454666 | 2020 | 504 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Harry van der Hulst’s model of Radical CV Phonology has roots in the framework of Dependency Phonology, but proposes a rather different ‘geometry’, which reduces the set of unary elements to just two: |C| and |V|. The model explains the phonological distinctions that function contrastively in the world’s languages rather than presenting it as a ‘random’ list.
