INTRODUCTION BY MISHA GLENNY, author of McMafiaA gripping narrative of power, corruption and greed, The Mechanism is the true story of how a simple investigation into money laundering uncovered the biggest corruption scandal in human history.When a small team of investigators discovered that a black market currency dealer was operating out of a Brazilian petrol station, they could never have imagined that their work would destroy the government and lead to the impeachment of two presidents. As the trail leads further and further into the centre of power, the search for the truth and pursuit of justice become ever more crucial.Taut and riveting, with more plot twists than the most compelling political thriller, The Mechanism is an essential work of non-fiction that exposes the rottenness caused when politicians and big businesses believe they are above the law.

Kaname Otonashi is a man who is able to hear any sound, whether it's made in the world of the living — or the dead! In this volume, Yasuhide Nagatsume (a.k.a Yasu) is the captain of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. While investigating a serial murder case, he meets Kaname, who is known by the police department as the "Ear of the Squad." As the two men collaborate to hunt down the killer, they realize that Kaname's beautiful sister, Yui, is the killer's next target. In the meantime, as Yasu and Yui spend more time together, the two begin developing feelings for one another — but can this story really have a happy ending?
Megumi is an all-star athlete, but she's a failure when it comes to physics class. And she can't concentrate on her tennis matches when she's worried about the questions she missed on the big test! Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a patient physics geek who uses real-world examples to help her understand classical mechanics and improve her tennis game in the process! In The Manga Guide to Physics, you'll follow alongside Megumi as she learns about the physics of everyday objects like roller skates, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis serves. In no time, you'll master tough concepts like momentum and impulse, parabolic motion, and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. You'll also learn how to: Apply Newton's three laws of motion to real-life problems Determine how objects will move after a collision Draw vector diagrams and simplify complex problems using trigonometry Calculate how an object's kinetic energy changes as its potential energy increases If you're mystified by the basics of physics or you just need a refresher, The Manga Guide to Physics will get you up to speed in a lively, quirky, and practical way.
Everything's gone screwy at Tagai Academy. When the headmaster forces Minagi's entire class to study Einstein's theory of relativity over summer school, Minagi volunteers to go in their place. There's just one problem: He's never even heard of relativity before! Luckily, Minagi has the plucky Miss Uraga to teach him. Follow along with The Manga Guide to Relativity as Minagi learns about the non-intuitive laws that shape our universe. Before you know it, you'll master difficult concepts like inertial frames of reference, unified spacetime, and the equivalence principle. You'll see how relativity affects modern astronomy and discover why GPS systems and other everyday technologies depend on Einstein's extraordinary discovery. The Manga Guide to Relativity also teaches you how to: Understand and use E = mc2, the world's most famous equation; Calculate the effects of time dilation using the Pythagorean theorem; Understand classic thought experiments like the Twin Paradox, and see why length contracts and mass increases at relativistic speeds; Grasp the underpinnings of Einstein's special and general theories of relativity. If the idea of bending space and time really warps your brain, let The Manga Guide to Relativity straighten things out.
Kat Davies is suddenly wondering if her good deed was a bad idea.Kat may be new in her faith, but she’s embraced the more radical implications of Christianity with reckless abandon. She invited Rochelle—a homeless mother—and her son to move in the apartment she shares with two other housemates. And she’s finally found a practical way to channel her passion for healthy eating by starting a food pantry at the church.Her feelings for Nick are getting harder to ignore. The fact that he’s the interning pastor at SouledOut Community Church and one of her housemates makes it complicated enough. But with Rochelle showing interest in Nick as a father-figure for her son, their apartment is feeling way too small.But not everyone thinks the food pantry is a good idea. When the woman she thought would be her biggest supporter just wants to “pray about it,” Kat is forced to look deeper at her own motives. Only when she begins to look past the surface does she see people who are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink and realizes the deeper significance of inviting them to “come to the table.”“. . . the plot and characters remain fresh and vibrant, shining spiritual truth from each page.” —Romantic Times TOP PICK for Stand by Me
Recent research indicates that complex-valued neural networks whose parameters (weights and threshold values) are all complex numbers are in fact useful, containing characteristics bringing about many significant applications. ""Complex-Valued Neural Networks: Utilizing High-Dimensional Parameters"" covers the current state-of-the-art theories and applications of neural networks with high-dimensional parameters such as complex-valued neural networks, quantum neural networks, quaternary neural networks, and Clifford neural networks, which have been developing in recent years. Graduate students and researchers will easily acquire the fundamental knowledge needed to be at the forefront of research, while practitioners will readily absorb the materials required for the applications.

Look up How many times have you gone through your day wondering where the time has gone? Look up is not just about the physical action of looking up but about taking time to look up from our phones/tablets and other distractions in life to take in life's splendor and to love the people around us. It's a simple idea and a short story that I hope makes people think bigger than themselves. What does looking up mean to you?
Gary Chance is an ex-Australian army driver and nightclub bouncer turned professional thief and in need of a job. An offer comes from a former employer, once notorious Melbourne social identity, now aging owner of a failing S&M club, Vera Leigh. A shadowy real estate developer is trying to squeeze Leigh out of a rapidly gentrifying city. But she has a rescue plan that involves one of Australia's biggest heists, Melbourne's Great Bookie Robbery. On April 21, 1976, a well organised gang stole as much as three million dollars, a fortune at the time, from a Melbourne bookmakers club. The money was never recovered. No one was ever charged. And everyone associated with the crime has since died, either by natural causes or violently. Leigh maintains that money was not the only thing stolen that day. So was a stash of uncut South African diamonds. And she wants Chance's help to retrieve them. Problem is, they are not the only ones looking. The heist always goes wrong and the consequences, even half a century later, can be deadly. Critical Acclaim for Orphan Road "Orphan Road is a breakneck tale of robbery and vengeance, as lyrical and gritty as a Bad Seeds tune. Superb." -Sam Wiebe, award-winning author of Sunset and Jericho and Invisible Dead "Orphan Road hits Mr Inbetween levels of brilliance. Stylish writing and whip-smart dialogue, this is noir done right." -David Whish-Wilson, author of Line of Sight and The Sawdust House "I have been waiting for another Gary Chance book. Orphan Road is grimy, twisty and fast. Absolutely worth the wait." -Iain Ryan, author of Four Days and The Student "A multi-continental heist romp, Nette's Orphan Road is in direct lineage with Westlake/Stark's Parker series and Thompson's The Getaway. Filled with pulpy goodness, this crime caper scratches your thieving itch. For fans of Barry Gifford's Black Lizard catalog, this one's a guaranteed delight." -Nolan Knight, author of The Neon Lights Are Veins and Gallows Dome "Some people will do anything for money...or in this case diamonds. Gary Chance is one of those people and in Orphan Road, Andrew Nette gifts us with a good, old-fashioned hard-boiled thriller that moves at a machine-gun-like pace leaving the reader gasping for air." -Charles Salzberg, multiple Shamus Award-nominated author
