Hey there, it's Srinidhi Ranganathan, the master brain behind Bookspotz (bookspotz.com), the groundbreaking independent publication that took flight in May 2023. Partnering with the incredible Mr. Mohan Leela Shankar the AI Veteran, we set out to create something extraordinary - something out of the blue. The seed for Bookspotz was planted in our shared love for books and a burning desire to establish a platform that would redefine how readers discover captivating titles. Mr. Shankar and I, both passionate readers, had been immersed in discussions about our favourite reads for years. It was during one of these conversations, while dissecting the pages of the latest tech book, that we realized the absence of a centralized platform offering mind-blowing articles tailored to a reader's unique interests. We had experienced the struggle of finding compelling articles even on popular platforms, resorting to generic recommendations from friends, article directories, or online lists that didn't always hit the mark. This revelation ignited the spark to birth Bookspotz—a platform poised to revolutionize the internet by delivering cutting-edge articles to the masses. Months were dedicated to intense research and development, collaborating with a team of AI experts and software engineers to ensure Bookspotz was not only accurate but also user-friendly. Our mission was to create a haven for readers who craved tailored content. Alongside, we assembled a talented team of writers and editors committed to churning out top-notch content. Finally, in May 2023, the curtains lifted, and Bookspotz took its place in the digital realm. The response was overwhelming, with readers from every corner of the globe embracing the platform, subscribing eagerly to catch the latest articles and exclusive content. Bookspotz had become a haven for readers seeking a personalized and enriching literary experience. This Volume 1 book sets to outline the best of Bookspotz articles and videos that we’ve created till now. Happy exploring! Yours truly, Digital Marketing Legend, Srinidhi Ranganathan

This book is different to other electronics texts available. First, it is short. Created for a one-semester course taken by physics students, both undergraduate and graduate it includes only the essentials and covers those topics only as deeply as needed in order to understand the material in the integrated laboratory exercises. Unlike many electronics texts for physics students, this one does not delve into the physics of devices. Instead, these are largely treated as black boxes having certain properties that are important to know for designing circuits. The physics comes when the students use their acquired electronics instrumentation knowledge to construct apparatus to make measurements. Since the detailed physics has been left out, this book should be equally useful for students in any of the physical or life sciences. This is the first textbook aimed at the non-electrical engineering student, that has both the generality on analog and digital electronics circuits, coupled to the very timely technology of embedded electronics. The book also features homework exercises, parts list and a suite of useful appendices. Key Features Combined lectures and laboratory course Covers analog and digital electronics Includes embedded systems Homework problems with solutions Complete inventory of required components

Long ago and even today, the story is told of how all the animals in the world, at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, speak. With their newfound power of speech, the animals rejoice at the birth of Jesus, born humbly in a manger and surrounded by animals.

With rich illustrations and lyrical text, Newbery Honor Award-winner Marion Dane Bauer delights readers of all ages with this fresh telling of a classic Christmas legend.

What can you do with a folklore degree? Over six dozen folklorists, writing from their own experiences, show us. What Folklorists Do examines a wide range of professionals—both within and outside the academy, at the beginning of their careers or holding senior management positions—to demonstrate the many ways that folklore studies can shape and support the activities of those trained in it. As one of the oldest academic professions in the United States and grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, folklore has always been concerned with public service and engagement beyond the academy. Consequently, as this book demonstrates, the career applications of a training in folklore are many—advocating for local and national causes; shaping public policy; directing and serving in museums; working as journalists, publishers, textbook writers, or journal editors; directing national government programs or being involved in historic preservation; teaching undergraduate and graduate students; producing music festivals; pursuing a career in politics; or even becoming a stand-up comedian. A comprehensive guide to the range of good work carried out by today's folklorists, What Folklorists Do is essential reading for folklore students and professionals and those in positions to hire them. Audio book narrated by Walter Brown. Produced by Speechki in 2021.

Prior to the twenty-first century, most historical writing about women in South Carolina focused on elite White women, even though working-class women of diverse backgrounds were actively engaged in the social, economic, and political battles of the state. Although often unrecognized publicly, they influenced cultural and political landscapes both within and outside of the state's borders through their careers, writing, art, music, and activism. Despite significant cultural, social, and political barriers, these brave and determined women affected sweeping change that advanced the position of women as well as their communities. The entries in 101 Women Who Shaped South Carolina, which include many from the landmark text The South Carolina Encyclopedia, offer a concise and approachable history of the state, while recognizing the sacrifice, persistence, and sheer grit of its heroines and history makers. A foreword is provided by Walter Edgar, Neuffer Professor of Southern Studies Emeritus and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the University of South Carolina.

In post-Soviet Russia, there is a persistent trend to repress, control, or even co-opt national history. By reshaping memory to suit a politically convenient narrative, Russia has fashioned a good future out of a "bad past." While Putin's regime has acquired nearly complete control over interpretations of the past, The Future of the Soviet Past reveals that Russia's inability to fully rewrite its Soviet history plays an essential part in its current political agenda. Diverse contributors consider the many ways in which public narrative shapes Russian culture—from cinema, television, and music to museums, legislature, and education—as well as how patriotism reflected in these forms of culture implies a casual acceptance of the valorization of Stalin and his role in World War II. The Future of the Soviet Past provides effective and nuanced examples of how Russia has reimagined its Soviet history as well as how that past still influences Russia's policymaking.
