A supernaturally inept student lands himself an internship with the world's most infamous sorcerer in the first book of this humorous fantasy series.Bryce Alexander isn't exactly on a path to wizardly renown. In fact, his latest rejection from the Arcane Arts program at the Kotodama Institute has pretty much guaranteed his dream of attending magical college is over. But rather than give in to despair and join the manager training program at Samba Smoothies, he does something incredibly daring, unexpected, and . . . stupid. He sneaks into the Queens warehouse where the Dark Sorcerer Zambrano has recently been spotted and offers up his service as an apprentice.The good news is Bryce is somehow so unattuned to magic that he isn't even affected by the literally crushing effects of Zambrano's defenses. The bad news is Bryce is somehow so unattuned to magic that he has literally zero chance of ever becoming a sorcerer. Still, Zambrano is convinced Bryce's mystical maladroitness could be an asset when it comes to infiltrating the hiding places of his enemies, and he enlists him as an intern to assist him in his supposedly nefarious causes.Suddenly, Bryce has gone from slinging protein shakes to navigating a world of preternatural grudges, cursed objects, demonic power plays, and FBI plots. Because interning for the Lord of Havok isn't taking memos and running out for coffee; it's engaging in an otherworldly battle, in which Bryce's total lack of supernatural skills could spell the difference between life and apocalypse . . .Filled with fast-paced action and side-splitting banter, The Dark Sorcerer's Intern is the first installment of a contemporary fantasy guaranteed to keep you laughing and guessing to the very last page.
A notorious enchanter and his magically inept employee must battle an ancient demonic king in the second book of this funny and fast-paced fantasy series.Ever since Bryce Alexander and the infamous dark sorcerer Zambrano saved Earth by launching the demon duke Vulkatherak into the sun, things have been quiet. Zambrano is off doing whatever it is dark sorcerers do for fun, and Bryce has been taking advantage of the perks that come from supposedly evil internships, including free gym access and unlimited takeout. But when Zambrano reappears with a mission to infiltrate the vault of legendary magician Merlin, things start to go awry. First, they get double-crossed by a fishy demon out for revenge. Next, their former frenemy Seraphex-a demon queen currently trapped in the form of a duck-emerges to "help" them save the world . . . again. Then, they discover her ex, the demon king Rexhalarkhart, is about to escape from an ancient time trap created by Merlin himself. Rexhalarkhart wants to seize control of the globe using the evilest force known to mankind: politics.Now, Bryce, Zambrano, and Seraphex must once again put aside their magical, philosophical, and generational differences to prevent the apocalypse-and fast. Because Seraphex's former husband will be back to raise hell in less than three weeks . . .A perfect blend of quippy dialogue, enchanting lore, and irresistible characters, The Dark Sorcerer's Assistant is the brilliant continuation of a truly original contemporary fantasy series.

Biology at all scales has become a data-driven science, with large-scale datasets driving fields from population genomics to ecology. Practicing biologists have no choice but to use computational approaches, statistics, modeling and other data science tools in their research. However, undergraduate biology education still primarily focuses on non-quantitative descriptions. This book provides students whose background is in biology with an introduction to modeling biological systems using mathematical, computational and statistical tools. It is based around a series of hands-on analyses conducted with open-source tools that allow the students to discover for themselves emergent properties of biological systems that are not evident without using model-based approaches. The goal of this book is to provide a “turn-key” introductory quantitative biology course suitable for all biology students. The book provides the narrative for the analyses and discussions to be done in class, with support from the included website, slides and test material. Key Features Written in an accessible, narrative style Includes hands-on analyses with open-source tools Integrates biology across spatial and temporal scales Links to a course website with interactive tools Brings biological education into the “data science” era Each chapter contains a number of exercises for the reader to engage with Available for qualified instructors, lecture slides and animations to cover the key arguments and derivations in each chapter, as well as example exam questions.

"The Comfort of Stone-field notes on a course in life" is the sixteenth book from Gavin Geoffrey Dillard - poet, playwright, songwriter, librettist, and comedy writer to the stars. Though the book is in poetic form, including free verse, koans, haiku, and traditional waka form, "The Comfort of Stone" also is a journal of three years on the poet's small tea farm in Southern Appalachia, capturing the seasons and their foibles, the dramas of the woods and field and their critters, and life with seven obstreperous kitties. Once a gay icon and noted romantic poet, Dillard now turns to paganism, naturism, and Taoism for emotional content, spiritual edification, and poetic flavor. Having been described as a cross between Rumi and Gary Larson, Gavin sets his noetic wits on the tribulations, myths and magic of forest and farm life. From the author of "In the Flesh-Undressing for Success," and the award-winning opera, "When Adonis Calls," come more tales of flesh and spirit in rural America.
