Leading software architecture experts Vaughn Vernon and Tomasz Jaskua show how to make balanced architecture decisions based on need and purpose, not hype so you can promote value and innovation, deliver more evolvable systems, and avoid costly mistakes.

Six-Legged Soldiers Using Insects as Weapons of War
Six-Legged Soldiers: Using Insects as Weapons of War by Jeffrey A. Lockwood
English | October 10, 2008 | ISBN: 0195333055, 0199733538 | EPUB | 400 pages | 2.7 MB
The emir of Bukhara used assassin bugs to eat away the flesh of his prisoners. General Ishii Shiro during World War II released hundreds of millions of infected insects across China, ultimately causing more deaths than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. These are just two of many startling examples found in Six-legged Soldiers, a brilliant portrait of the many weirdly creative, truly frightening, and ultimately powerful ways in which insects have been used as weapons of war, terror, and torture.



Sinologists as Translators in the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries
Lawrence Wang-chi Wong, "Sinologists as Translators in the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries "
English | ISBN: 9629966077 | 2016 | 300 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This collection deploys archive studies and translation hermeneutics to merge the historical study of sinology with translation research. Focusing on the context of contributions by early Sinologists and their translations of works in Chinese, the essays in this volume ask why certain works were chosen for translation in particular historical moments; how they were interpreted, translated, and manipulated; and what influence they had, especially in advancing sinology in various countries. This book reconstructs a wider historical and intellectual context from which certain translations emerged and further expands sinology through the extensive use of overlooked archive materials.
