An elite handful of fish are capable of living and thriving in both fresh and saltwater. Among these specialists are aggressive man-eaters, venomous giants and a wickedly armed beast that hails from a bygone age. In this special edition of River Monsters, biologist and extreme angler Jeremy Wade relives his thrilling encounters with some of these fearsome intruders that swim in from beyond the surf. Jeremy reveals how our understanding of these predators has shifted dramatically in recent years and answers pertinent questions about what draws these ocean-dwelling hunters into freshwater in the first place and how they are capable of crossing what is normally an impenetrable barrier.
To get their hearts' desires traditionally some women have used their natural charms to exploit men's weaknesses. But today, a new breed of women are making it big business.These women are getting whatever they want from men - from life's luxuries to their gas bill paid - in a phenomenon known as 'rinsing'.These relationships are always on the women's own terms.

Polygon and Sub-D Modeling Workflows in 3ds Max 2012
English | FLV | VP6F 546 kbps 15 fps | 1280x720 | MP3 96 kbps 44 KHz | 2.91 GB Genre: elearning
In this 3ds Max 2012 tutorial, we'll build upon 3ds Max's modeling tools and learn how to apply them to a high poly modeling workflow. We'll start off by creating a base mesh for our geometry and using NURMS to smooth out our result, and then jump right into creating the details we want in our high poly version model. After that, we'll discover how polygonal modeling can be extremely helpful to give us the exact detail and topology we need for any modeling project we encounter.

Foundations of Photography - Black and White
Language: English | 03:04 hours | 960x540 | MOV | AAC - 128Kbps | 1.9 GB Genre: eLearning
In Foundations of Photography: Black and White, Ben Long shows photographers how to develop a black and white vocabulary and explains the considerations to take into account when shooting for this medium. The course follows Ben as he goes on location and explains what makes good black and white subject matter and how to visualize the scene in terms of tonal values and contrast rather than color. Along the way, he demonstrates some exposure strategies for getting the best images. Back at the computer, Ben demonstrates techniques for converting the resulting photos into black and white using Photoshop and other imaging tools, and offers tips on printing and output. Exercise files are included with this course.

A Foray into the Worlds of Animals and Humans: with A Theory of Meaning
English | ISBN: 0816658994, 0816659001 | 2010 | 248 pages | PDF | 14,7 MB
Is the tick a machine or a machine operator? Is it a mere object or a subject? With these questions, the pioneering biophilosopher Jakob von Uexküll embarks on a remarkable exploration of the unique social and physical environments that individual animal species, as well as individuals within species, build and inhabit. This concept of the umwelt has become enormously important within posthumanist philosophy, influencing such figures as Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze and Guattari, and, most recently, Giorgio Agamben, who has called Uexküll "a high point of modern antihumanism."
Daniel Jackson - Software Abstractions: Logic, Language, and Analysis
Published: 2012-02 | ISBN: 0262017156 | PDF | 376 pages | 2.05 MB
In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach--which Jackson calls "lightweight formal methods" or "agile modeling"--takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback. Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that captures the essence of software abstractions simply and succinctly, using a minimal toolkit of mathematical notions. This revised edition updates the text, examples, and appendixes to be fully compatible with the latest version of Alloy (Alloy 4).
Integrating Evolution and Development: From Theory to Practice|
Published: 2007-09-21 | ISBN: 0262693534, 0262195607 | PDF | 352 pages | 7.61 MB
The twentieth century's conceptual separation of the process of evolution (changes in a population as its members reproduce and die) from the process of development (changes in an organism over the course of its life) allowed scientists to study evolution without bogging down in the "messy details" of development. Advances in genetics produced the modern synthesis, which cast the gene as the unit of natural selection. The modern synthesis, however, has had its dissenters (among them Stephen Jay Gould), and there is now growing interest in the developmental synthesis (also known as evo-devo), which integrates the study of evolution and development. This collection offers a history of the developmental synthesis, argues for its significance, and provides specific case studies of its applications ranging from evolutionary psychology to the evolution of culture.
Widespread interest in the developmental synthesis is a relatively new phenomenon. Scientists don’t yet know whether revisions to evolutionary theory resulting from the findings of evo-devo will be modest, with the developmental synthesis seen as a supplement to evolutionary theory, or a more far-reaching fundamental theoretical rethinking of evolution itself. The chapters in Integrating Evolution and Development not only make a case for the importance of the developmental synthesis, they also make significant contributions to this fast-growing field of study.

This book is a wonderful tool and reference for any teacher. In my work of providing professional development to teachers of elementary science, one of the hardest areas for the teachers to grasp is assessment. Especially helpful for these teachers are the chapters on writing short-answer and essay items, performance-based assessment, and portfolios.” (Cindy Pulkowski, Program Manager )
