Have you tried speaking with your lecturer directly to ask for their best recommendation for a textbook that best aligns to the course?
I can find plenty of pirated textbooks that are off the beaten path if you give me the specific title, author, and edition but I get that's not the question you're asking here though I thought it would be worth mentioning anyway.
I'd opt for either Putin or the current director of the CIA.
Putin for obvious reasons.
The CIA director for their ability to leak all sorts of information while critically undermining the efforts of the CIA from within, essentially hamstringing the CIA for decades to come and thus allowing countries especially in Africa and South America the breathing room to stray further leftwards without the threat of being destabilised or overthrown.
For ones out of China, Alldocube and Blackview offer good value for money and they're mid-tier brands with regards to reputability.
The Alldocube iPlay50 or the Blackview Tab 10/Tab 11/Tab 18 and similar are decent and worth considering.
I'm still of the opinion that Microsoft could have carved out a share of the mobile phone market by targeting enterprise and by brute-forcing it by throwing a bunch of cash at a few of the really good mobile app developers to create the basic apps that make or break a mobile phone: a podcast app, an ereader, a music player, a video player.
If you want to go wild with it, they could have used their position and created really good integration with Office apps, particularly PowerPoint, so that the mobile app could run a range of functions that turned your phone into a smart control that would run a timer, give time alerts, control the slides, give you video controls, use your phone's data to stream embedded content, record audio of your presentation etc.
If you had a Windows phone that was capable of the basic functions that are essential for a smartphone and they had the right security options then businesses would probably have gone in on Windows phones. If the phones were portable desktop PCs, even more so. Throw a feature-rich PowerPoint control app in the mix and Microsoft would have cornered the business side of the smartphone market and from there they would have been able to expand their market share, especially with the perk of having a portable desktop via your phone.
I'm not crying over Microsoft missing opportunities though, just pointing out that when you have fuck-you money that you can just throw at a problem and you fumble the bag on the mobile phone market when you're a tech company then your entire business is a house of cards built upon an effective monopoly.
Ritalin wasn’t perfect though and I had a very alarming experience with the final few doses, when the medicine peaked it was great and I felt good but then when an hour passed I could feel normalcy creeping in and then a huge wave of lethargy that I can’t describe. It was almost like the medication was doing the opposite, or maybe it wasn’t the medication or a reaction to the others, whatever it was I was fairly concerned. Breathing felt hard and I couldn’t really move, I could if I really tried to but my heart rate was extremely low and I literally felt like I was kinda dying. I wasn’t dying obviously but I felt like that’s what it must feel before death where your body’s functions slowly expire one after the other. The labored breathing troubled me the most because it was kind of hard to catch breath
This sounds very much like the symptoms of catatonia and tbh the initial improvements that you saw really kinda track with what you'd expect to see with a person experiencing a chronic lower grade catatonia when they first go on methylphenidate before an inevitable crash back into catatonia.
I have to write more about this and please do not take this comment as definitive or as a diagnosis but I'll come back to elaborate when I find the time and energy to write a proper reply.
