Nothing has prepared humanity for an enemy on the scale of the Rasu. Now, after a devastating defeat no one saw coming, the dream of victory has become a battle for survival.Concord, with its vaunted indestructible warships and dimension-bending weapons, has been knocked back on its heels. A stunning loss in the Battle of Namino has left its best and brightest leaders scattered, trapped or thought lost. The Rasu press their advantage, laying siege to Namino and cutting it off from the rest of civilization. For Miriam Solovy, a coup attempt by Anaden rebels and a flaring conflict with the militaristic Savrakaths are the least of her concerns. After blowing up the Concord flagship to prevent its capture by the Rasu, she is awakened in a new body and expected to don the mantle of leadership once again. But how can she lead Concord in the fight against the Rasu when humanity doesn't trust regenesis and she no longer trusts herself?For Caleb Marano, nothing matters more than family. When his niece is trapped behind enemy lines, he turns his back on the peaceful sentient planet he shares a consciousness with in order to rescue her. If he hopes to succeed, he must become the killer he once was, even if it costs him everything.For Alex Solovy and Nika Kirumase, however, the crucible of two deadly intergalactic conflicts has taught them that survival is not enough. Together they will cross every line and break every rule to accomplish the impossible, end the siege of Namino and take the fight directly to the enemy.*In Amaranthe, where exotic alien life, AIs, wormholes, indestructible starships and the promise of immortality rule the day, no feat seems out of reach for humanity. But when the worlds of Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir collide and the Rasu horde descends upon them both, more will be asked of heroes past and future. More will be given and more taken, and when the dust settles the very fabric of Amaranthe will be changed forever.

On a mysterious green planet regenerated by fire, vibrant communities live in harmony with both its strange ecosystem and each other--until the day imperialist forces arrive.Char and her family are among the nomadic Summer people of Germinal who tend to the rich biodiversity of their world through reciprocity and ritual. They must forever travel to stay ahead of the walls of fire that approach like clockwork, bringing with them both loss and renewal. The flamewalls divide their world into threes: three seasons and three ways of life, keeping them from the Spring and Winter people, about whom they must never ask. Char is the first to spot the off-world landing vessels bearing the militaristic invaders whose intentions are far beyond her worldview. Graft is a captive servitor and personal attendant to the Conquis, leader of the vanguard forces. The last survivor of a culture annihilated by conquest, Graft is tortured by grief and determined to avoid notice, but he soon recognizes how unprepared Char and her people are to deal with the invasion. After one unsettling discovery leads to another, the newcomers find the nature of this land troubling and its denizens odd--perhaps nonhuman. When the mission turns darker, the inhabitants of the violated utopia must learn how to defend themselves or lose everything. Inversion stages an experiment in new possibilities of living, a tale of social struggle set in a wildly unique universe animated by questions of climate collapse and collective action. Aric McBay weaves a tale in the visionary spirit of Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed and Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy.

In Balthazar 'Ballz' Bornstein's professional opinion, every member of the metalcore band, Winter's Wrath, needs therapy. After years as an army psychologist, the security guard has the training, but working with soldiers was much different from managing men under the spotlight of the music world. Still, he's making progress. Except for Connor Phelan. Connor acts like a carefree jock, but Balthazar has glimpsed his inner pain and growing isolation from his bandmates. The young man is far too appealing and his lust for life, his playfulness, and his mischievous smile bring out the Dom in Balthazar. The security guard struggles to keep his job and his desires separate, but he's losing the fight. More so when competition shows up-Annette Paige, the wild, headstrong backup vocalist of another band. When a key member is injured, the two bands are forced to work together, but clashing egos, animosity, and passions jeopardize the entire European tour. The best way to keep the steady rhythm is to get the band members to behave professionally. It's not looking good, but Balthazar will do his best to keep the boys in line. Maybe a curfew will work. There's also been the suggestion of a leash, but the man he most wants to collar has already been caged by Annette. The Dom in him wonders if he could bring them both to heel. One word could bring them together. Or tear them apart. A word none of them can ever say... Mine.

La noche era c lida, y aunque le gustaba usar el aire acondicionado, Ver nica prefer a la brisa que tra a el viento. Sentada en el balc n, observaba el horizonte pregunt ndose c mo estar a su padre en ese momento. Ciertamente l estaba sufriendo y ella tambi n por estar fuera, pero deb a comportarse y aceptar las reglas de aquella situaci n. Ni siquiera sab a lo que estaba pasando. Todo le parec a extra o e infundado. Hab a confiado ciegamente en el detective y se hab a equivocado con l. Despu s de que el silencio y la noche se apoderaran de todo el lugar, Ver nica regres a su habitaci n, dejando la ventana abierta para que la brisa entrara y refrescara la habitaci n de forma natural. As quiz s podr a dormirse enseguida. El sue o no lleg a cualquier precio y molesta se levant para ir al ba o. Al salir de la cama y dar sus primeros pasos, vio algo que pasaba arrastr ndose frente a ella. Aunque la claridad no era mucha, fue suficiente para que viera que era una serpiente. " Dios m o " - dijo Ver nica, apresur ndose hacia la puerta. Su coraz n lat a de forma inestable y sin pensar en lo que hac a corri hacia el pasillo forzando los ojos para ver en la oscuridad. No quer a parecer asustada delante del hombre de la habitaci n de al lado, pero le temblaban tanto las piernas que no se hizo la orgullosa y fue a buscar ayuda. Cuando abri la puerta y entr sinti unas manos fuertes que la tomaban por la cintura y la apretaban suavemente. " Qu pasa, Ver nica?" - pregunt Douglas con la respiraci n agitada. "Hay una enorme serpiente en la habitaci n". - dijo ella, sin darse cuenta de lo cerca que estaban el uno del otro. "Pero todo est bien cerrado. C mo ha podido pasar eso?" - l la mir fijamente sin soltarla. "No s qu ha pasado. Lo nico que puedo decirte es que hay uno all ". Douglas la apart y alcanz el interruptor de la luz. Cuando la luz domin el lugar, Ver nica se dio cuenta de que l s lo llevaba puesta la ropa interior. La adrenalina se apoder de sus cuerpos y Ver nica no sab a si temblar por la conmoci n o por estar delante de aquel hombre tan sexy.

Inversion and the Perspective-Based Safety Culture

Inversion and the Perspective-Based Safety Culture

What is it that forms the basic cohesiveness of workplace culture? How does an organization proactively build and sustain an effective approach to achieving a universal zero-incident mindset? Many current models for occupational safety and risk management are too often reactive, not proactive. They are built to respond to events that were likely rooted in human behavior, and then attempt to control future outcomes by enforcing policies, procedures, and disciplinary action. This approach fails to recognize the very premise of the incident itself: the pre-employment behavioral development. Inversion and the Perspective-Based Safety Culture turns this methodology upside-down. In this thought-provoking book, Risk Manager Brian O. Owens explores the undeniable connection between employees' humanity and their cultural contributions to the workplace. Using a simple yet powerful approach to aligning a workplace safety culture, Brian reveals the road to zero incidents is not built by attempts to control employee behavior, but by effectively changing the behavior using the power of Perspective. Perspective revolutionized philosophy. It changed the world from flat to round. And it is the key to unlocking the potential of your workplace safety culture. Be prepared to never see, hear, or say the word Perspective the same way again

The dialectical principle of Hegel's theory of tragedy exposes the tragic essence of revolution: the totalized claims of revolutionary ideas contradict their particularized results. Dr. Chen's analysis of Georg Buchner's "Dantons Tod," Ernst Toller's "Masse Mensch," and Bertolt Brecht's "Die Massnahme" demonstrates that revolutionary theories employ structures of Hegel's interpretations of history. The revolutionary theories of history assume the role of the "Weltgeist" itself, whose implementation entails antihumanist actions. In the hybris of the equation of revolutionary theory and "Weltgeist," the Hegelian philosophy of history unveils its own tragic structure, which, in turn, is described by Hegel's theory of tragedy."

It is rarely taught in undergraduate or even graduate curricula that the only conformal maps in Euclidean space of dimension greater than two are those generated by similarities and inversions in spheres. This is in stark contrast to the wealth of conformal maps in the plane. This fact is taught in most complex analysis courses. The principal aim of this text is to give a treatment of this paucity of conformal maps in higher dimensions. The exposition includes both an analytic proof, due to Nevanlinna, in general dimension and a differential geometric proof in dimension three. For completeness, enough complex analysis is developed to prove the abundance of conformal maps in the plane.In addition, the book develops inversion theory as a subject, along with the auxiliary theme of circle-preserving maps. A particular feature is the inclusion of a paper by Caratheodory with the remarkable result that any circle-preserving transformation is necessarily a Mobius transformation - not even the continuity of the transformation is assumed. The text is at the level of advanced undergraduates and is suitable for a capstone course, topics course, senior seminar or as an independent study text.Students and readers with university courses in differential geometry or complex analysis bring with them background to build on, but such courses are not essential prerequisites.
Inversion II - Creatures, Fairies, and Haints, Oh My!
Inversion II - Creatures, Fairies, and Haints, Oh My is the second volume of Author Paul Stansbury's Inversion Series. In these stories, you will again experience a world where the rules as you know them do not always apply. There you will find the creatures are, as you would imagine, a bit out of the ordinary. For the most part, they are unsavory beings and best avoided. You will also find fairies: imaginary beings of supernatural powers. Usually seen in human form, they can be clever, playful, but can also prove mischievous given the right circumstances. And as for haints, those of you from the South may be familiar with the word. Haints are manifestations attributed to something beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature - spirits and spooks so to speak.

Inversion III - The Lighter Shades of Greys is the third volume of Author Paul Stansbury's Inversion Series. In these stories, you will again experience a world where the rules as you know them do not always apply. As you might guess from the title of this volume, the stories deal in some fashion with beings from other worlds. There may be one or two characters you will encounter whose origins may be in question, but take it from me, they are not from this neck of the woods. If you are looking for creepy alien abduction yarns, these stories are not for you. Nor will you find cataclysmic invasions of vicious, flesh eating space monsters on the menu. As the subtitle for this volume indicates, these stories are on the lighter side perhaps even humorous. The beings you will encounter here are most certainly of a kinder, gentler variety, although not too sweet.

Inversion IV - Another Injection of Speculative Fiction, is the fourth volume of speculative fiction stories by Author Paul Stansbury. The reader is invited to a world where the Laws, those regularly occurring or apparently inevitable phenomenon that govern what happens to us, operate differently than what we would expect. In the speculative fiction world, the rules as we know them do not always apply. Or could it be the rules as we thought we knew them?
