Everyone knows magic isn't real. Alien invaders? Ha Yet, unless one skeptic changes her mind, Earth and her life will meet a swift end.Disillusioned with her military career, Red Hernandez crawled back to civilian life as a second tier security lead for an engineering marvel meant to cram more people into the tiny island of Manhattan. She expected her biggest struggles to be integrating back into a society where social media and closet space reigned supreme. But when mysterious forces destroy a building similar to the one she's chartered to protect, in an implosive blast never before seen, all notions of a cushy retirement job go up in smoke.With lives on the line, but big money pushing to continue construction, Red finds the steely determination that she believed lost in the desert of her past. She unravels the mystery of the destructive tech, discovering it to be not just alien, but magical, and re-evaluates everything she believed to be true.Can one woman stop magic-wielding invaders from destroying the world, or will disbelief be her undoing?

Monsters bleed into our world through an open wound in the fabric of reality, and we've lost our only means to draw out and destroy them.But if others can travel to our world, why can't we go to theirs?To fight the Infected, the Guardians needed the ability to draw them out, to take them on in circumstances of their own choosing. That tactic ended with the destruction of the Mana'thiandriel, enchanted artifacts used to gather the Infected, in a battle which not only convinced the world the problem was real, but also sealed the fate of humankind.With limited resources, and plagued by heartbreak and loss, the defenders of Earth need a new plan. Scan thinks there may be a way out-he believes he can trace the magic of the alien interplanetary travel, and return the Guardians to the origin of their one-way trip. "Return the Guardians, get more Mana'thiandriel, save the Earth... easy peasy."If only it were that simple.Can the ragtag gang, thrown together by happenstance, overcome their pasts, navigate a web of deceit, and find a means to save the Earth?

The Christian's Bill of Rights: A 31-Day Devotional to Help You Live Free
Deep in the heart of humanity is a cry-a cry for freedom. Even so, is true freedom possible? Yes, freedom from the bondage of sin and the fear of death is possible. No matter where you are in life, there is hope for you in Jesus Christ. You can live in the freedom Jesus purchased for you on the cross. That is, Jesus gave you certain rights for a life of freedom. We find those rights in the greatest book ever written-the Bible. Within its pages, your rights are "hidden in plain sight." In this book, The Christian's Bill of Rights, you will explore some of those rights. In addition, this book is for the harvest that is upon us-one billion people will be born again in a short time. Most of these will be young people that will need help from established Christians to teach them what Jesus commanded. Therefore, this may be the most important reason for writing this book-to help you teach the new believers in Christ some of the basics of following Jesus. In other words, this book is not just for the established Christian, it is also for the new believer. If you are a new believer in Christ, this book will help you to know the teachings of Jesus since it includes numerous verses from God's Word, which will validate the rights Jesus gives you. These many Scriptures included in this book will also help fan the flame in your heart to know all you can about God's Word; because the more you know the Bible's teachings, the better off you will be. John 8:32 states, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"-thus, the sub-title of this book, A 31-Day Devotional to Help You Live Free.

Working-Class Hollywood

Working-Class Hollywood

Steven J. Ross

Princeton University Press
2000

This path-breaking book reveals how Hollywood became "Hollywood" and what that meant for the politics of America and American film. Working-Class Hollywood tells the story of filmmaking in the first three decades of the twentieth century, a time when going to the movies could transform lives and when the cinema was a battleground for control of American consciousness. Steven Ross documents the rise of a working-class film movement that challenged the dominant political ideas of the day. Between 1907 and 1930, worker filmmakers repeatedly clashed with censors, movie industry leaders, and federal agencies over the kinds of images and subjects audiences would be allowed to see. The outcome of these battles was critical to our own times, for the victors got to shape the meaning of class in twentieth- century America. Surveying several hundred movies made by or about working men and women, Ross shows how filmmakers were far more concerned with class conflict during the silent era than at any subsequent time. Directors like Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and William de Mille made movies that defended working people and chastised their enemies. Worker filmmakers went a step further and produced movies from A Martyr to His Cause (1911) to The Gastonia Textile Strike (1929) that depicted a unified working class using strikes, unions, and socialism to transform a nation. J. Edgar Hoover considered these class-conscious productions so dangerous that he assigned secret agents to spy on worker filmmakers. Liberal and radical films declined in the 1920s as an emerging Hollywood studio system, pressured by censors and Wall Street investors, pushed American film in increasingly conservative directions. Appealing to people's dreams of luxury and upward mobility, studios produced lavish fantasy films that shifted popular attention away from the problems of the workplace and toward the pleasures of the new consumer society. While worker filmmakers were trying to heighten class consciousness, Hollywood producers were suggesting that class no longer mattered. Working-Class Hollywood shows how silent films helped shape the modern belief that we are a classless nation.
Third Parties in America

Third Parties in America

In recent years a growing number of citizens have defected from the major parties to third party presidential candidates. Over the past three decades, independent campaigns led by George Wallace, John Anderson, and Ross Perot have attracted more electoral support than at any time since the 1920s. Third Parties in America explains why and when the two-party system deteriorates and third parties flourish. Relying on data from presidential elections between 1840 and 1992, it identifies the situations in which Americans abandon the major parties and shows how third parties encourage major party responsiveness and broader representation of political interests.
An Invitation to Modern Number Theory

An Invitation to Modern Number Theory

Steven J. Miller; Ramin Takloo-Bighash

Princeton University Press

In a manner accessible to beginning undergraduates, An Invitation to Modern Number Theory introduces many of the central problems, conjectures, results, and techniques of the field, such as the Riemann Hypothesis, Roth's Theorem, the Circle Method, and Random Matrix Theory. Showing how experiments are used to test conjectures and prove theorems, the book allows students to do original work on such problems, often using little more than calculus (though there are numerous remarks for those with deeper backgrounds). It shows students what number theory theorems are used for and what led to them and suggests problems for further research. Steven Miller and Ramin Takloo-Bighash introduce the problems and the computational skills required to numerically investigate them, providing background material (from probability to statistics to Fourier analysis) whenever necessary. They guide students through a variety of problems, ranging from basic number theory, cryptography, and Goldbach's Problem, to the algebraic structures of numbers and continued fractions, showing connections between these subjects and encouraging students to study them further. In addition, this is the first undergraduate book to explore Random Matrix Theory, which has recently become a powerful tool for predicting answers in number theory. Providing exercises, references to the background literature, and Web links to previous student research projects, An Invitation to Modern Number Theory can be used to teach a research seminar or a lecture class.
Mathematics and Democracy

Mathematics and Democracy

Steven J. Brams

Princeton University Press
2008
pokkari
Voters today often desert a preferred candidate for a more viable second choice to avoid wasting their vote. Likewise, parties to a dispute often find themselves unable to agree on a fair division of contested goods. In Mathematics and Democracy, Steven Brams, a leading authority in the use of mathematics to design decision-making processes, shows how social-choice and game theory could make political and social institutions more democratic. Using mathematical analysis, he develops rigorous new procedures that enable voters to better express themselves and that allow disputants to divide goods more fairly. One of the procedures that Brams proposes is "approval voting," which allows voters to vote for as many candidates as they like or consider acceptable. There is no ranking, and the candidate with the most votes wins. The voter no longer has to consider whether a vote for a preferred but less popular candidate might be wasted. In the same vein, Brams puts forward new, more equitable procedures for resolving disputes over divisible and indivisible goods.
