Resistance
A landmark work charting how acts of resistance have shaped Britain and the powerful role of photography as a catalyst for change, across the twentieth century, curated by acclaimed artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen. Resistance presents a century of activism, from the radical suffrage movement in 1903 through key moments including the Battle of Cable Street, the Black People’s Day of Action, Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp and the Miners’ Strike; onto protests against environmental destruction, struggles for LGBTQ+ and disability rights; culminating with the largest protest in Britain’s history: the march against the War in Iraq in 2003. A wealth of photographs – from covert surveillance images to era-defining press reportage – are interwoven with firsthand accounts from those who witnessed these major historical moments and expert analysis of where these stories lead us today.Featuring contributions from groundbreaking voices such as Gary Younge, Paul Gilroy and Baroness Chakrabarti, alongside powerful images from renowned photographers including Vanley Burke, Edith Tudor-Hart, Tish Murtha and Paul Trevor. Resistance uncovers the often-overlooked stories of individuals who have been instrumental in forming modern Britain and is a testament to the empowering impact of collective action today.

Living Resistance – An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day
In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin B.Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing.We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together. Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors.She explores four "realms of resistance"--the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral--and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation.Readers will be empowered to seek wholeness in the various spheres of influence they inhabit.Now in paperback. "Readers will find abundant wisdom in this accessible guide."--Publishers Weekly

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.

How do I calculate the resistance with the internal resistance?
To calculate the total resistance with the internal resistance, you can use the formula: R_total = R_internal + R_external, where R_total is the total resistance, R_internal is the internal resistance, and R_external is the external resistance. This formula takes into account the resistance from both the internal and external components of the circuit. By adding the internal and external resistances together, you can determine the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the difference between insulation resistance and surface resistance?
Insulation resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current through the insulation material between two conductors, while surface resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current across the surface of a material. Insulation resistance is typically used to assess the effectiveness of insulation materials in preventing current leakage, while surface resistance is used to evaluate the cleanliness and conductivity of surfaces in electronic and electrical applications. In summary, insulation resistance measures the resistance through a material, while surface resistance measures the resistance across a material's surface.

Resistance Literature
As one of the foundational texts in the field of postcolonial writing, Barbara Harlow’s Resistance Literature introduced new ground in Western literary studies. Originally published in 1987 and now reissued with a new Preface by Mia Carter, this powerfully argued and controversial critique develops an approach to literature which is essentially political.Resistance Literature introduces the reader to the role of literature in the liberation movements of the developing world during the 20th Century.It considers a body of writing largely ignored in the west.Although the book is organized according to generic topics – poetry, narrative, prison memoirs – thematic topics, and the specific historical conditions that influence the cultural and political strategies of various resistance struggles, including those of Palestine, Nicaragua and South Africa, are brought to the fore.Among the questions raised are the role of women in the developing world; communication in circumstances of extreme atomization; literature versus propaganda; censorship; and the problem of adopting literary forms identified with the oppressor culture.

Resistance
As the wife of a Resistance member in German-occupied Belgium, Claire Daussois has grown used to hiding strange men in her attic.By the end of 1943, the tiny room has housed dozens of Allied airmen, soldiers and other refugees, whom Claire nurses and harbours from the perpetual threat of discovery by the Gestapo. The B-17 bomber that crash-lands outside Claire's village of Delahaut contains the man who will be both the last and the most significant of the attic's residents: US Air Force pilot Ted Brice.Ted is found severely wounded and semi-conscious by ten-year-old Jean Benoit minutes before the Germans begin their search for survivors.Knowing of Claire's connections with the Resistance, and desperate to atone for his father's shameful collaboration, Jean realises that Claire is the pilot's only hope of survival. The month that follows will stay with them both for the rest of their lives.A few weeks only, a handful of days, it is a period in which the war recedes in the face of more powerful forces - before imposing itself once more with shocking suddenness.

Resistance
My brother is adopted, but I can’t say and don’t want to say that my brother is adopted.If I say this, if I speak these words that I have long taken care to silence, I reduce my brother to a single categorical condition, a single essential attribute...A young couple, involved in the struggle against the military dictatorship in 1970s Argentina, must flee the country.The brutality and terror of the regime is closing in around them.Friends are being ‘disappeared’. Their names are on a list. Time is running out. When they leave, they take with them their infant son, adopted after years of trying for a child without success.They build a new life in Brazil and things change radically.The family grows as the couple have two more children: a son and a daughter.Resistance unfolds as an intimate portrayal of the formation of a family under extraordinary circumstances, told from the point of view of the youngest child.It’s an examination of identity, of family bonds, of the different forms that exile can take, of what it means to belong to a place, to a family, to your own past.Already winner of the Jabuti Award for Book of the Year 2016 (Brazil), the José Saramago Literary Prize 2017 (Portugal) and the Anna Seghers Prize 2018 (Germany), Resistance demonstrates remarkable courage and skill by one of Brazil’s rising literary stars.

What is the difference between electrical resistance and specific resistance?
Electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself and is dependent on factors such as the material's dimensions and temperature. Specific resistance, on the other hand, is a material property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current compared to a standard material. It is also known as resistivity and is measured in ohm-meters. In essence, electrical resistance is the overall resistance of a material, while specific resistance is a more intrinsic property of the material itself.
-
Is the protective resistance the same as the series resistance?
No, the protective resistance is not the same as the series resistance. The protective resistance is a component used to limit the current in a circuit and protect other components from damage. It is typically used in parallel with the component it is protecting. On the other hand, the series resistance is a component that is connected in series with other components in a circuit, affecting the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit. While both resistances are used to control current, they serve different purposes and are connected in different ways within a circuit.

What is the difference between specific resistance and direct current resistance?
Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that measures the resistance of a specific material to the flow of electric current. It is expressed in ohm-meter and is a characteristic of the material itself. On the other hand, direct current resistance refers to the resistance of a specific component or device to the flow of direct current. It is measured in ohms and depends on the physical dimensions and material properties of the component. In summary, specific resistance is a material property, while direct current resistance is a property of a specific component or device.

How can the individual resistance be determined from the total resistance?
The individual resistance can be determined from the total resistance by using the formula for resistors in parallel or in series. For resistors in parallel, the individual resistance can be found using the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn, where R_total is the total resistance and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the individual resistances. For resistors in series, the individual resistance can be found by simply adding up the individual resistances to get the total resistance. Then, the individual resistance can be determined by subtracting the sum of the other resistances from the total resistance.
