Electrical engineering for everyone [videorecording]. by Bottomley, Laura J.,instructor.; Teaching Company,publisher.(CARDINAL)349444;

Instructor: Laura J. Bottomley, director of Women in Engineering, Engineering Education, and the Engineering Place at NC State University.To many of us, electricity can still seem like the "magic" our ancestors imagined it to be when they saw it in the natural world. But the science of electricity is considerably more amazing than magic, as you'll see in the 24 fascinating lectures of Electrical Engineering for Everyone. With dozens of live demonstrations, along with explanatory graphics and video, Dr. Laura J. Bottomley brings you on the amazing journey of electrical engineering, the discipline that has taken us from the electric lightbulb to interstellar space to artificial intelligence in less than 150 years.DVD; widescreen

The gilded page : the secret lives of medieval manuscripts / by Wellesley, Mary,1986-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Prologue: The Alchemy of Parchment -- Discoveries -- Near Disasters -- Patrons -- Artists -- Scribes -- Authors & Scribes -- Authors Hidden -- Epilogue: The Death of the Manuscript -- Afterword: Uses & Abuses of the Past."The Gilded Page is the story of the written word in the pre-Gutenberg age. Ranging from the earliest intact book in Europe, to the only known literary manuscript to be written in Shakespeare's hand, scholar Mary Wellesley reveals the secret lives of these literary and artistic treasures. Traipsing through the remarkable history, she recounts fires (the only surviving Beowulf manuscript is singed at its edges, losing a bit of its matter every decade) and threats ("this is Elisabeth Danes's book / he thatsteals it shall be hanged by the neck," reads the marginalia in one treasured text). Some manuscripts were designed to reinforce power-like the psalter commissioned by Henry VIII, with a bold illustration of David fighting Goliath, the king's likeness asDavid's and his archnemesis Pope Paul III's face drawn on Goliath. Some survive and remain celebrated because of an author's political connections-we have so much of Chaucer's writings, and thus study and revere them, because he was a government officialfirst, a poet second. And although work identified with men was more likely to survive through time, some of the most beguiling and beautiful texts were created by women. Many have been lost, like Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love. Yet othersare relatively recent discoveries, like the manuscript of illiterate Margery Kempe, found in a country house closet by a family searching for ping pong balls, the book's cover nibbled on by mice. But all these objects have their secrets, and their creation and survival tell us much about power and art, knowledge and beauty. Today we associate illuminated manuscripts with wealthy elites, but they were made by ordinary people: the grinders and binders, the scribes and rubricators. We remember the patrons and the authors, but these objects have been much altered-text embroidered by upstart scribes, mistakes made in copying poems, whole chapters lost to time-and our literary inheritance is one of collective authorship. Rich, dazzling, and passionately told,Untitled is a tribute to some of the most exquisite objects ever made by human hands"--

I was a French Muslim : memories of an Algerian freedom fighter / by Mokhtefi, Mokhtar,1935-2015,author.; Mokhtefi, Elaine,translator.(CARDINAL)668706;

"This engaging memoir provides a vivid account of a childhood under French colonization and a life dedicated to fighting for the freedom and dignity of the Algerian people. The son of a butcher and the youngest of six siblings, Mokhtar Mokhtefi was born in 1935 and grew up in a "village de colonization" roughly one hundred kilometers south of the capital of Algiers. Thanks to the efforts of a supportive teacher, he became the only child in the family to progress to high school, attending a French lycée that furthered his thinking on Algerian independence. In 1957, at age twenty-two, he joined the National Liberation Army (ALN), the armed wing of the National Liberation Front (FLN) that had been waging war against France since 1954. After completing rigorous training in radio transmissions at a military base in Morocco, he went on to become an officer in the infamous Ministère de l'Armement et des Liaisons Générales (MALG), the precursor of post-independence Algeria's Military Security (SM). Mokhtefi's powerful memoir bears witness to the extraordinary men and women who fought for Algerian independence against a colonial regime that viewed non-Europeans as fundamentally inferior, designating them not as pure French citizens, but as "French Muslims." He presents a nuanced, intelligent, and deeply personal perspective on Algeria's transition to independent statehood, with all its inherent opportunities and pitfalls"--
