A Christmas CarolmeetsThe Government InspectormeetsNoises Offin this hilarious hit from Seattle.

We are emerging from an age of machines into an age of knowledge-driven technologies that are reshaping our world, creating a paradox of Winners and Losers. Corporate profits are at an all-time high and the very rich have not had it this good since the eve of 1929. But, for the rest of America, something has gone very wrong with the economy. Wages have stagnated for decades, inequality is at an historic level and the hopes of working families have all but evaporated. Sadly, we are witnessing the death of the American Dream. No one seems to know why, a surprising percentage of America does not yet seem very upset, and many politicians, economists, and the one-percenters are doing everything they can to ensure that nothing changes. In laypersons' terms, Radical Change: The Death of the American Dream describes the evolution of computer intelligence and the robotic capabilities it empowers. As these technologies become smarter they will increasingly win the battle for middle-income jobs, continue to disrupt major industries, and fundamentally alter the economic balance in our society. Someday these technologies may even escape our control.

The Silver Liner had finally touched down on Ceres, her epic voyage the greatest leap in human history Basking in this triumphal moment, the crew of the Selene was certain that their troubles were behind them, and that at last, they could get down to the business at hand: establishment of an outpost and exploration of the dwarf planet.But the divisions sown while still in orbit were deep and threatened to deepen further in the aftermath of the attempted hijacking.The crew was sharply divided over the no longer human Fiona, and the course of action chosen by Captain Giffords would push Kendrick and his bride to the breaking point. The unseen hand of NessCorp moved behind the scenes, heightening the tensions further. Could the Royces remain with Starfleet, or would the strain of the mission prove too much?The challenges of Ceres still awaited them, challenges that would soon prove to be far deadlier than Kendrick, Fiona, and the crew of the Silver Liner could have ever imagined

Cultural psychology and experimental existential psychology are two of the fastest-growing movements in social psychology. In this book, Daniel Sullivan combines both perspectives to present a groundbreaking analysis of culture's role in shaping the psychology of threat experience. The first part of the book presents a new theoretical framework guided by three central principles: that humans are in a unique existential situation because we possess symbolic consciousness and culture; that culture provides psychological protection against threatening experiences, but also helps to create them; and that interdisciplinary methods are vital to understanding the link between culture and threat. In the second part of the book, Sullivan presents a novel program of research guided by these principles. Focusing on a case study of a traditionalist group of Mennonites in the midwestern United States, Sullivan examines the relationship between religion, community, guilt, anxiety, and the experience of natural disaster.

+++++ Heading to Ceres on Starfleet's errand, the Selene and her crew have undertaken the grandest scientific exploration endeavor in human history. Never has humankind been so far away from home, and never have the stakes been so high. Humanity's very future is riding on the outcome of this mission-but political machinations have a way of making themselves felt hundreds of millions of kilometers from Earth. There are those who have a vested interest in the mission's failure, and their unseen hands were in motion before the Selene's takeoff. Kendrick and Fiona have never faced so great a threat, and with the forces arrayed against them, failure is virtually guaranteed. With the Selene under siege, it will take a miracle for them to beat the odds this time. +++++

Do you know where flies go in winter or where all the adverbs have disappeared to? You might find out in this eclectic collection of parodies, word plays and puns that ranges from dark through poignant and political to downright silly.Danny Sullivan is not averse to double-entendre, innuendo, even a naughty word or two in order to make you laugh, but maybe also give you pause for thought.He tells children's tales you won't want to tell the children, the goings on at the Saturday night disco in the old folk's home, smutty daydreams about Helen Mirren, and even discusses the size of his spleen. In between chuckling you will suddenly encounter an ironic take on a subject such as Black Lives Matter then snigger again that "wiberals are so weally unweasonable."

Computational chemistry is a specialized branch of chemistry that makes use of computer programs to address chemical problems. It involves the calculation of molecular structures and properties by combining theoretical chemistry methods with computational techniques. Key approaches in this field include ab initio methods, molecular dynamics, and density functional theory, among others. The topics included in this book on computational chemistry are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. This book outlines the processes and applications of the discipline in detail. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
