"BITE" tells the story of Christine Lawter, a military brat, whose family moves to a small town in western North Carolina. Christine struggles with the relocation, especially since it's her senior year. On her first day of school, a boy catches her eye and she tries desperately to find out who he is, but nobody knows. She sees the boy walk alone into the woods and follows him. She discovers the boy, Cody, has a secret he's kept from the world. He warns Christine never to share it, and the trust between them creates an emotional attachment. Christine's overwhelmed, but she falls in love with him. She learns about his family's past and about their overlords, known as the Lawmakers, and the scouts that work for them. Cody's family forewarns them of their relationship, but love knows no law, and heeds no consequences. Consequences come when Christine learns a dark and terrifying story that Cody's family kept from her. Never would she have imagined that a story from their past would affect her future.

Wir stellen ein neues Konzept zur numerischen Behandlung statistischer Methoden mittels programmierbarer Rechner vor. Ziel ist es, mit sparsamem Einsatz der verfUgbaren Rechnerkapazitaten und mit einem transparenten Methodensystem ein moglichst breites Spektrum von Anwendungen zu demonstrieren. Das Buch wendet sich an Wissenschafter, Ingenieure und andere Personen, die in ihrem Fach mehr oder weniger haufig statistische Auswertungen durchfUhren und an Personen, die selber Statistikprogramme herstellen wollen. Das vorliegende Konzept ist vollstandig rechnerunabhangig und lasst sich auf jedem Rechner mit einer gewissen Mindestkapazitat leicht realisieren, sei es nun ein Taschenrechner, ein Minicomputer oder ein Grosscomputer. Eine ausgearbeitete Version fUr einen Hewlett-Packard HP-41C - Taschenrechner mit Dokumentation und vollstandigen Programmlisten ist als Band 'ALSTAT - Algorithmen der Statistik fUr Hewlett-Packard HP-41C' im selben Verlag erhaltlich. Es ist vorgesehen, die Programme nicht nur in Form von Listen, sondern auch auf andern Medien (Magnet- band, Magnetkassette oder Modul) zu vert rei ben. -1an beachte di e AnkUndi gungen des Verlags. Es ware auch mOglich, Realisierungen des allgemeinen Konzepts auf andern Rechnern (z.B. in BASIC oder PASCAL) in derselben Reihe zu veroffentlichen. Wir wollen und konnen hier keine EinfUhrung in statistische Methoden geben. DafUr gibt es LehrbUcher und Statistikkurse. Ein Blick auf das Inhaltsverzeichnis zeigt, dass ein umfangreicher Teil der haufig verwendeten Methoden abgedeckt wird, so dass das Buch auch als Formelsamnlung dienen kann.

ALSTAT PC ist eine Realisierung des Konzeptes, wie es in "ALSTAT 1 - Algorithmen der Statistik fUr Kleinrechner" beschrieben wird. Es ist fur den Einsatz auf IBM PC und kompatiblen Rechner ent- wickelt worden. ALSTAT PC bietet nicht fertige Statistik-Programme an, sondern pr sentiert sich in Form eines Tischrechners, welcher nur diejenigen Resultate liefert, welche ausdrUcklich verlangt werden. In diesem Sinne knupft ALSTAT PC an die Programme fur den HP-4l-C Taschenrechner an, welche im Band "ALSTAT 2" vorgestell t wurden. Die Realisierung auf einem Personal Computer bietet aller- dings wesentlich mehr Komfort hinsichtlich Schnelligkeit, Ueber- sichtlichkeit, Datenmanipulation und Weiterverarbeitung der Resul- tate. Wie erste Erfahrungen gezeigt haben, eignet sich das Pro- gramm auch gut zur Beglei tung des Statistik-Unterrichts. Vom Be- nutzer wird lediglich vorausgesetzt, dass er das Betriebssystem MS-DOS einigermassen kennt und einen Texteditor bedienen kann. Das vorliegende Handbuch ist der Beglei ttext zur ALSTAT-PC Pro- grammdiskette. Diese kann mit der diesem Band beigefugten Bestell- karte direkt beim Verlag oder tiber den Buchhandel bezcgen werden. Neben der grunds tzlichen Beschreibung des Programmes enth l t das Handbuch zahlreiche leicht nachvollziehbare Auswertungen von Zah- lenmaterial, welches ebenfalls auf der Programmdiskette mi tgelie- fert wird. Dami t kann der Benutzer samtliche Moglichkei ten von ALSTAT PC kennenlernen, bevor er das Programm fur seine eigenen Arbeiten einsetzt. Am Schluss des Handbuches finden Sie ein Formular, mit welchem Sie allf llige programmfehler oder auch Verbesserungsvorschlage den Autoren mitteilen konnen.

Drawing principles from his book, There Is Only Plan A - A Journey Towards Self-Discovery and Renewed Purpose, author Klay S. Williams has created a unique packaging of 365 nightly meditations, that invites intuitive and spiritual thought, with exclusive guidance and calls to action for applying learned considerations. For centuries, the power of meditation has created space to usher in new beginnings, while precluding daily negative thought and pathologies that causes our lives to remain inactive.

Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction "Redeployment is hilarious, biting, whipsawing and sad. It's the best thing written so far on what the war did to people's souls." --Dexter Filkins, The New York Times Book Review Selected as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post Book World, Amazon, and more Phil Klay's Redeployment takes readers to the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the characters in these stories struggle to make meaning out of chaos. In "Redeployment", a soldier who has had to shoot dogs because they were eating human corpses must learn what it is like to return to domestic life in suburbia, surrounded by people "who have no idea where Fallujah is, where three members of your platoon died." In "After Action Report", a Lance Corporal seeks expiation for a killing he didn't commit, in order that his best friend will be unburdened. A Morturary Affairs Marine tells about his experiences collecting remains--of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers both. A chaplain sees his understanding of Christianity, and his ability to provide solace through religion, tested by the actions of a ferocious Colonel. And in the darkly comic "Money as a Weapons System", a young Foreign Service Officer is given the absurd task of helping Iraqis improve their lives by teaching them to play baseball. These stories reveal the intricate combination of monotony, bureaucracy, comradeship and violence that make up a soldier's daily life at war, and the isolation, remorse, and despair that can accompany a soldier's homecoming. Redeployment has become a classic in the tradition of war writing. Across nations and continents, Klay sets in devastating relief the two worlds a soldier inhabits: one of extremes and one of loss. Written with a hard-eyed realism and stunning emotional depth, this work marks Phil Klay as one of the most talented new voices of his generation.

The debut novel from the National Book Award-winning author of Redeployment This] compact epic of a novel contains perhaps Klay's finest writing yet . . . Using his formidable gifts for scene-setting, meaningful irony and deep human empathy, Klay weaves together a set of stories over the course of nearly three decades . . . Amid raging fires and illness and constitutional crises, Klay's book roars something vital: Never forget about war or the blood and bone and the evil and the reckless idealism of who we all really are. --Los Angeles Times A group of Colombian soldiers prepares to raid a drug lord's safe house on the Venezuelan border. They're watching him with an American-made drone, about to strike using military tactics taught to them by U.S. soldiers who honed their skills to lethal perfection in Iraq. In Missionaries, Phil Klay examines the globalization of violence through the interlocking stories of four characters and the conflicts that define their lives. For Mason, a U.S. Army Special Forces medic, and Lisette, a foreign correspondent, America's long post-9/11 wars in the Middle East exerted a terrible draw that neither is able to shake. Where can such a person go next? All roads lead to Colombia, where the US has partnered with local government to keep predatory narco gangs at bay. Mason, now a liaison to the Colombian military, is ready for the good war, and Lisette is more than ready to cover it. Juan Pablo, a Colombian officer, must juggle managing the Americans' presence and navigating a viper's nest of factions bidding for power. Meanwhile, Abel, a lieutenant in a local militia, has lost almost everything in the seemingly endless carnage of his home province, where the lines between drug cartels, militias, and the state are semi-permeable. Drawing on six years of research in America and Colombia into the effects of the modern way of war on regular people, Klay has written a novel of extraordinary suspense infused with geopolitical sophistication and storytelling instincts that are second to none. Missionaries is a window not only into modern war, but into the individual lives that go on long after the drones have left the skies.

From the author of Redeployment and Missionaries, an astonishing fever graph of the effects of twenty years of war in a brutally divided America When Phil Klay left the Marines a decade ago, after serving as an officer in Iraq, he found himself part of the community of veterans who have no choice but to grapple with the meaning of their wartime experiences--for themselves and for the country. American identity has always been bound up in war--from the revolutionary war of our founding, to the civil war that ended slavery, to the two world wars that launched America as a superpower. What did the current wars say about who we are as a country, and how should we respond as citizens? Unlike previous eras of war, few other Americans have had to do any real grappling with the endless, invisible wars of the post-9/11 world at all; in fact, increasingly, few people are even aware they are still going on. It's as if there's a dark star with a strong gravitational force that draws a relatively small number of soldiers and their families into its orbit, while remaining inconspicuous to most other Americans. In the meantime, the consequences of American military action abroad may be out of sight and out of mind, but they are very real indeed. This chasm between military and civilian in American life, and the moral blind spot it has created, is one of the great themes of Uncertain Ground, Phil Klay's powerful series of reckonings in essay form over the past ten years with some of our country's thorniest concerns. In the name of what do we ask young Americans to kill, and to die? In the name of what does this country hang together? As we see at every turn in these pages, those two questions have a great deal to do with one another, and how we answer them will go a long way toward deciding where our troubled country goes from here.
