A new twist on the Zombie Apocalypse genre Logan and Luke Matthews are brothers who are on opposite sides of the city when a zombie apocalypse kicks off. With friends and families at their side, they journey to an old church of a mysterious, ancient order. When an unstoppable creature appears, they realize there is more at stake than they could ever have imagined. Tracking their every move is a pseudo-military faction with an arcane-wielding madman at its helm. At the center of it all is the brothers' ancient bloodline. This is a zombie story of BIBLICAL proportions.
In the newest release from horror writer Kevin M.Moehring, Sanitarium: The Haunting of West Hills explores the possibility that most dilapidated former hospitals are an epicenter for paranormal activity. Four teenage outcasts, led by Parker Jefferies, decide to skip the popular senior trip destinations and spend the weekend inside the crumbling walls of West Hills Sanitarium. The recent high school graduates spend their time learning the history of the building while also avoiding the spirits that lurk within. From the ghosts of children to the sordid remnants of the hospital body chute, follow the group as they fight to reveal the secrets of the past...and fight harder to stay alive.
Plato, Aristotle, and the Purpose of Politics
Kevin M. Cherry
Cambridge University Press
2012
sidottu
In this book, Kevin M. Cherry compares the views of Plato and Aristotle about the practice, study and, above all, the purpose of politics. The first scholar to place Aristotle's Politics in sustained dialogue with Plato's Statesman, Cherry argues that Aristotle rejects the view of politics advanced by Plato's Eleatic Stranger, contrasting them on topics such as the proper categorization of regimes, the usefulness and limitations of the rule of law, and the proper understanding of phronesis. The various differences between their respective political philosophies, however, reflect a more fundamental difference in how they view the relationship of human beings to the natural world around them. Reading the Politics in light of the Statesman sheds new light on Aristotle's political theory and provides a better understanding of Aristotle's criticism of Socrates. Most importantly, it highlights an enduring and important question: should politics have as its primary purpose the preservation of life, or should it pursue the higher good of living well?
Does oil make countries autocratic? Can foreign aid make countries democratic? Does taxation lead to representation? In this book, Kevin M. Morrison develops a novel argument about how government revenues of all kinds affect political regimes and their leaders. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Morrison illustrates that taxation leads to instability, not representation. With this insight, he extends his award-winning work on nontax revenues to encompass foreign aid, oil revenue, and intergovernmental grants and shows that they lead to decreased taxation, increased government spending, and increased political stability. Looking at the stability of democracies and dictatorships as well as leadership transitions within those regimes, Morrison incorporates cross-national statistical methods, formal modeling, a quasi-experiment, and case studies of Brazil, Kenya and Mexico to build his case. This book upends many common hypotheses and policy recommendations, providing the most comprehensive treatment of revenue and political stability to date.
This introduction to robotics offers a distinct and unified perspective of the mechanics, planning and control of robots. Ideal for self-learning, or for courses, as it assumes only freshman-level physics, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra and a little bit of computing background. Modern Robotics presents the state-of-the-art, screw-theoretic techniques capturing the most salient physical features of a robot in an intuitive geometrical way. With numerous exercises at the end of each chapter, accompanying software written to reinforce the concepts in the book and video lectures aimed at changing the classroom experience, this is the go-to textbook for learning about this fascinating subject.

HYDROGEOLOGY Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of hydrogeology to enable the reader to appreciate the significance of groundwater in meeting current and future environmental and sustainable water resource challenges. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect advances in the field since 2014 and includes over 350 new references. The book presents a systematic approach to understanding groundwater starting with new insights into the distribution of groundwater in the Earth’s upper continental crust and the role of groundwater as an agent of global material and elemental fluxes. Following chapters explain the fundamental physical and chemical principles of hydrogeology, and later chapters feature groundwater field investigation techniques in the context of catchment processes, as well as chapters on groundwater quality and contaminant hydrogeology, including a section on emerging contamination from microplastic pollution. Unique features of the book are chapters on the application of environmental isotopes and noble gases in the interpretation of aquifer evolution, and a discussion of regional characteristics such as topography, compaction and variable fluid density on geological processes affecting past, present and future groundwater flow regimes. The last chapter discusses future challenges for groundwater governance and management for the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources, including the role of managed aquifer recharge, and examines the linkages between groundwater and climate change, including impacts on cold-region hydrogeology. Given the drive to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the interaction of groundwater in the exploitation of energy resources, including renewable resources and shale gas, is reviewed. Throughout the text, boxes and a set of colour plates drawn from the authors’ teaching and research experience are used to explain special topics and to illustrate international case studies ranging from transboundary aquifers and submarine groundwater discharge to the hydrogeochemical factors that have influenced the history of malting and brewing in Europe. The appendices provide conversion tables and useful reference material, and include review questions and exercises, with answers, to help develop the reader’s knowledge and problem-solving skills in hydrogeology. This highly informative and accessible textbook is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students primarily in earth sciences, environmental sciences and physical geography with an interest in hydrogeology or groundwater topics. The book will also find use among practitioners in hydrogeology, soil science, civil engineering and landscape planning who are involved in environmental and resource protection issues requiring an understanding of groundwater.

Bernoulians Versus Keplerians: Is Airpower Doctrine Good Enough for Employment of Space Forces?
Kevin M. Rhoades

Theorists learned basic lessons regarding airpower's potential during World War I, but much of the real intellectual progress occurred during the interwar period. The history of space power development is similar in many ways. Space power began after World War II, but its first significant warfighting use was in the 1991 Gulf War with Iraq. During the next 12 years, space power increasingly became a warfighting capability, and consequently doctrine and practice changed dramatically in order to facilitate air and space integration within the Air Force. This research study analyzes the similarities and differences between central airpower lessons learned between World Wars I and II with those of space power since the Gulf War. An analysis of space power doctrine development is necessary to appreciate why today's doctrine is how it is. However, this is not a discussion on the doctrine development process, per se. This research queries whether central airpower concepts (including unity of command, uniqueness, and desire for command by an airman) are applicable to space power.
