Eric is a regular teenager. His existence is filled with drinking, apathy and awkwardness. One fateful night his life is inexorably altered as he accidentally tumbles through a hole in space-time only to emerge into a fantastical world beyond his wildest imaginings. Suddenly Eric finds himself in the company of an eccentric Goblin while being hunted by scheming corporations, insane assassins, ravenous demons and dangerous mutations. Meanwhile within the towering confines of Tirileth city, known by locals as "The Tier", the mercenary Xanshudan tackles daring missions with the help of his team of diverse professionals. Hired to protect this gangling teen, Xan and his team quickly find that there is much more to Eric than they first thought. Now Xan and his gang of unlikely heroes must race against time in a desperate attempt to search for the answers that will unravel the mysteries of Eric's fate and hopefully lead him back home before it's too late. "The Tier" is set within the world of Errant realms. A discordant futuristic place dotted with fantastical mega-cities seething with diverse and enigmatic beings, road-warrior brigands, powerful magics, volatile deities, fantastic monsters and conniving corporations.
The surreal world of restaurant culture is not a place for the faint of heart. Characters of every type live peculiar lives behind the scenes of any good eatery. In a world filled with an ever growing variety of dining establishments, the subtle nuances of the beings that animate these places become increasingly diverse. And while individual reasons for working in "the industry" may vary drastically, the progression of the associated culture is as natural as the cause and effect that surrounds any human endeavour. Most would not give any credence to the unseen happenstances that fuel most every restaurant, after all, dining out was a privilege undertaken by those who wanted to escape the benign scrutiny of daily life. But it was within these secret expanses that the true restaurant experience would unfold, if only one took the time to look.
When Cherie Alvarez was a child, a moment of shocking violence shattered her world into a thousand bloody pieces. Plagued by nightmares and taunted by schoolyard bullies, the young girl spent years recovering from what law enforcement described as a "sickening and gruesome act of evil."Now a college student, Cherie has found solace in film, theater, and all the beloved traditions of the Halloween season. But when she and her friends participate in an immersive, "extreme" haunted attraction, Cherie must once again break the chains of victimhood and face the open wounds of her past. After enduring one man's twisted vision of horror and perversion, Cherie finds herself challenged by a cult-like force determined to destroy her. What follows is a singular night of grueling terror, calculated revenge, and backwoods slaughter.An epistolary thriller, DEATH RITUALS gathers the ephemera of a young woman's life--short stories, articles, scripts, photographs, televised reports, and more--to tell a story of chilling depravity and undaunted courage.
In the tradition of Willian Styron's Darkness Visible and Marya Hornbacher's Madness: A Bipolar Life, and Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Josh Wickom's Colden and Wick: Mind Intruders documents the extraordinary experience of an individual powerlessly witnessing the theft of his life by deviant alter egos. When mild-mannered Josh Wickom retired from a successful engineering career, he and his beloved wife Ruth anticipated a life of renewed romance and enriching vacations. Instead, they and their two adult children were plunged into a three-year nightmare when Josh was submerged into the quagmire of severe depression. Then two powerful "mind intruders" proceeded to hijack Josh's existence. First came Colden, a deeply-depressed paranoid intent on ending his own life. Then came Wick, a flamboyant concert promoter fueled by electroshock therapy-induced mania and grandiose illusions. Unable to regain control of his own life, Josh watched helplessly as Colden and Wick steered him on a bizarre ride from bucolic Central New York State, to the steamy Mississippi Delta and New York City - with stops along the way in the county jail, a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, and divorce court. Josh's ability to fall back on his scientific training and objectively observe and document what was happening makes his memoir a compelling read. It may also in part explain his eventual recovery.

Planning With Young People presents educators, urban planners, and designers with an alternative vision of how to build cities for young people, challenging readers to imagine cities that truly serve their youngest inhabitants. This book argues that great cities can only emerge when they are good for all members, especially young people under 25, who are often marginalized in urban design. The first half of the book explores the competing, sometimes conflicting, and often incomplete visions and agendas of the city that have historically failed to include or prioritize young people. The final chapters highlight structures, systems, policy frameworks, and practices from the fields of education and planning that can be employed to plan for and with young people. Written in an accessible style, Planning With Young People is a valuable interdisciplinary resource for planning students, urban planners, or educators seeking a vision for inclusive planning practices, and civic leaders committed to building more equitable urban spaces.

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness argues that despite the worries of explanatory pessimists, consciousness can be fully explained in “easy” scientific terms. The widespread intuition that consciousness poses a hard problem is plausibly based on how consciousness appears to us in first-person access. The book offers a debunking argument to undercut the justificatory link between the first-person appearances and our hard problem intuitions.The key step in the debunking argument involves the development and defense of an empirical model of first-person access: Automated Compression Theory (ACT). ACT holds that first-person access to consciousness is accomplished by automated accessing of compressed sensory information. Because of the distorting nature of this compressed access, it seems to subjects that consciousness possesses “exceptional” properties—properties leading to the hard problem—even though no such properties are present. If there are no exceptional properties to explain, then an explanation in easy terms can fully account for conscious experience. The book presents a range of empirical evidence for ACT and concludes that the burden of proof is now on the pessimists to show why we shouldn’t be optimistic about explaining consciousness.

This essential textbook provides an integrated treatment of data analysis for the social and behavioral sciences. It covers all the key statistical models in an integrated manner that relies on the comparison of models of data estimated under the rubric of the general linear model.The text describes the foundational logic of the unified model comparison framework. It then shows how this framework can be applied to increasingly complex models including multiple continuous and categorical predictors, as well as product predictors (i.e., interactions and nonlinear effects). The text also describes analyses of data that violate assumptions of independence, homogeneity, and normality. The analysis of nonindependent data is treated in some detail, covering standard repeated measures analysis of variance and providing an integrated introduction to multilevel or hierarchical linear models and logistic regression.Highlights of the fourth edition include:Expanded coverage of generalized linear models and logistic regression in particularA discussion of power and ethical statistical practice as it relates to the replication crisisAn expanded collection of online resources such as PowerPoint slides and test bank for instructors, additional exercises and problem sets with answers, new data sets, practice questions, and R codeClear and accessible, this text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in data analysis.
