2013 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 3642342965 | PDF | 39 MB
This volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library is concerned with the interplay between bubble dynamics and shock waves. It is divided into four parts containing twelve chapters written by eminent scientists. Topics discussed include shock wave emission by laser generated bubbles (W Lauterborn, A Vogel), pulsating bubbles near boundaries (DM Leppinen, QX Wang, JR Blake), interaction of shock waves with bubble clouds (CD Ohl, SW Ohl), shock propagation in polydispersed bubbly liquids by model equations (K Ando, T Colonius, CE Brennen. T Yano, T Kanagawa, M Watanabe, S Fujikawa) and by DNS (G Tryggvason, S Dabiri), shocks in cavitating flows (NA Adams, SJ Schmidt, CF Delale, GH Schnerr, S Pasinlioglu) together with applications involving encapsulated bubble dynamics in imaging (AA Doinikov, A Novell,JM Escoffre, A Bouakaz), shock wave lithotripsy (P Zhong), sterilization of ships’ ballast water (A Abe, H Mimura) and bubbly flow model of volcano eruptions ((VK Kedrinskii, K Takayama). The book offers a timely reference for graduate students as well as professional scientists and engineers interested in the interaction of shock waves with bubbles and their propagation properties in bubbly liquids with applications in medical and earth sciences.

Free Download Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century by Simon Reynolds, Nicholas Camm, HarperAudio
English | October 11, 2019 | ISBN: B01KW9AJ1S | 23 hours and 21 minutes | MP3 64 Kbps | 641 Mb
From the acclaimed author of Rip It Up and Start Again and Retromania – "the foremost popular music critic of this era" (Times Literary Supplement) – comes the definitive cultural history of glam and glitter rock, celebrating its outlandish fashion and outrageous stars, including David Bowie and Alice Cooper, and tracking its vibrant legacy in contemporary pop.
Spearheaded by David Bowie, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and Roxy Music, glam rock reveled in artifice and spectacle. Reacting against the hairy, denim-clad rock bands of the late ’60s, glam was the first true teenage rampage of the new decade. In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds takes you on a wild cultural tour through the early ’70s, a period packed with glitzy costumes and alien makeup, thrilling music, and larger-than-life personas.
Shock and Awe offers a fresh, in-depth look at the glam and glitter phenomenon, placing it in the wider ’70s context of social upheaval and political disillusion. It explores how artists like Lou Reed, New York Dolls, and Queen broke with the hippie generation, celebrating illusion and artifice over truth and authenticity. Probing the genre’s major themes – stardom, androgyny, image, decadence, fandom, apocalypse – Reynolds tracks glam’s legacy as it unfolded in subsequent decades, from ’80s art-pop icons like Kate Bush through to 21st-century idols of outrage such as Lady Gaga. Shock and Awe shows how the original glam artists’ obsessions with fame, extreme fashion, and theatrical excess continue to reverberate through contemporary pop culture.

In 1944 Horkheimer and Adorno warned that industrial society turns reason into rationalization, and Polanyi warned of the dangers of the self-regulating market, but today, argues Stiegler, this regression of reason has led to societies dominated by unreason, stupidity and madness. However, philosophy in the second half of the twentieth century abandoned the critique of political economy, and poststructuralism left its heirs helpless and disarmed in face of the reign of stupidity and an economic crisis of global proportions.

Free Download David C. Knight – Shock Troops: The History of Elite Corps and Special Forces
Bison Books | 1983 | ISBN: 0861241266 | English | 200 pages | PDF | 145.22 MB
The US Marines. The French Foreign Legion. The Red Baron’s Flying Circus. The Escadrille Lafayette. The British Commandos. The Waffen SS. The US Rangers. Chennault’s Flying Tigers. The Green Berets. The Special Air Service, SAS. Today nearly every advanced army has its shock troops. They are better trained, fitter and tougher than the ordinary infantry and the most arduous and dangerous tasks are normally reserved for them. The US Marines are one of the oldest surviving formations of elite soldiers. Their illustrious history runs from their formation during the War of Independence through to their heroic deeds in the Pacific in World War II and their recent service in Vietnam. The French Foreign Legion is another long established body of men. They have fought from the jungles of West Africa to the sands of the Sahara, from France’s colonial adventures in Mexico to that country’s brave but humiliating defeat at Dien Bien Phu. Their illustrious followers include the British SAS (Special Air Service) who gained recent fame from their brilliantly executed rescue of hostages from the Iranian Embassy in London. Certain units of the Waffen-SS, the Commandos and the US Rangers can also be included in the category of shock troops. The author, David C Knight, traces the development of these and other elite units throughout the world. More than 200 illustrations show them in training and in action, from colonial wars of the last century to the antiterrorist operations of today.

Free Download Mechanical Vibrations and Shocks: Mechanical Shock v. 2 By Christian Lalanne
2002 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 190399604X | PDF | 11 MB
This volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, its properties and the assumptions involved in its calculation. In developing the practical application of these concepts, the shock shapes most often used with test facilities are presented, together with their characteristics and indications of how to establish test configurations comparable with those of the real, measured environment. There follows a demonstration of how to meet these specifications using standard laboratory equipment – shock machines, electrodynamic exciters driven by a time signal or a response spectrum – with discussion of the limitations, advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Free Download Visualization of Shock Wave Phenomena by Kazuyoshi Takayama
English | EPUB | 2019 | 719 Pages | ISBN : 3030194507 | 1006.5 MB
This book presents a wealth of images of shock wave phenomena, gathered by the author over the past 40 years. Shadowgrams and interferograms of basic shock-dynamic topics such as reflection, diffraction, refraction, and focusing of shock waves in gases and liquids are sequentially displayed. Though the images themselves are self-explanatory, brief explanations of the experimental conditions are included, so as to facilitate analysis and numerical reproduction of the image data.

Free Download Behind the shock machine : the untold story of the notorious Milgram psychology experiments By Milgram, Stanley; Perry, Gina; Milgram, Stanley
2013 | 339 Pages | ISBN: 159558921X | EPUB | 1 MB
In the summer of 1961, a group of men and women at Yale volunteered for a memory experiment to be conducted by the young, dynamic psychologist Stanley Milgram. The volunteers were placed in front of a shock machine and asked to administer a series of electric shocks to a man they’d just met. What they didn’t know was that the man was an actor, the shocks were fake, and what was really being tested was just how far they would go. None of the participants could have foreseen the worldwide sensation the results would cause. Milgram reported that the volunteers had repeatedly shocked a man they believed to be in severe pain, possibly even dying, because an authority figure had told them to. He linked this behavior to atrocities perpetrated by ordinary people under the Nazi regime. In Behind the Shock Machine, psychologist and author Gina Perry unearths the full story of this controversial experiment and its startling repercussions. Interviewing the original participants and delving deep into the Yale archives and Milgram’s unpublished files and notebooks, she pieces together a more complex picture of this flawed experiment: volunteers were not as obedient as later claimed; they were subjected to more intense and sustained pressure; some left unaware that the shocks had been faked; and, most significantly, many participants remain haunted by what they had done. Fleshed out with dramatic transcripts of the tests themselves, Perry puts a human face on the statistics and offers a gripping, unforgettable tale of one man’s ambition and an experiment that defined a generation.
