Hi My name's Heni, Heni Hani. You know, Hani - like honey from a bee in a bottle.The Jesus statue was our first claim to fame. And each summer, our city - the tuna and shark capital of the world - played host to the world's longest pub-crawl. But, up the peninsula people feared abduction, implants, lost time and dreams meshed in reality. Cattle were mutilated. And then, there were the child serial killings. Even the police were confused. I found an AI pendant with magical power. Then I fell off the haystack. Thud ' Crikey. I think he's dead' Brian kicked me - hard. 'Ouch That hurt ' I squealed, rolling over.'Maybe it's got magical powers Heni' suggested Jo. 'Why don't you do it again' # 'Mom, I had a bad dream about clowns. A stick man with beady black eyes tried to jab a metal object in my neck, so I bit him. Then I ran away - petro flied.' 'You too-' I looked at Jo flabbergasted. 'But-, you weren't in my dream.' 'I was too Heni, ' she snapped. 'Yes. I saw you holding hands with Amanda Thomas and flying around everywhere like you owned the place

'I'm having bad dreams Hen. I dreamt I was in a white dome-shaped room levitating on a table, ' Amanda said. 'I had the same dream. So did Mom. So did Jo. Everyone did. Ask around. You do the math, ' I replied. Her face paled. She started shaking. 'But I know what they're scared of.' I held up the pendant. 'Maybe it's an evil pendant? It's evil, so the previous owner threw it away. Perhaps I should too' 'I don't think so, ' Jo whispered back. 'It's not evil. Only people are evil.' Martin Dunbar certainly was evil, and the CIB detectives knew it. # Randy White squeezed the rifle trigger; the impact propelled me to the ground. 'Huh? You shot me' A puddle of blood oozed over the golden yellow sand. 'Teresa? Is that you' I asked the girl in the glowing ball of light. 'I think I'm dead.' 'Use the pendant, ' Sam replied. 'Are you stupid or what? Use the pendant ' # 'We'll get you while you're sleeping, ' a figure growled from the bushes. 'Not in my lifetime, ' I hissed back. 'The pendant will kill you And-, if it doesn't. I will ' Our eyes latched onto it. Amanda clutched at me. The pendant glowed, thrashing out reams of l

These stories can be read in any order. They are highly visual with lots of detail (like Japanese manga), like a reading-movie. As such, they can feel very real; thus, many people will struggle to begin with. Hang in there. Its well worth the effort #Hi I'm Heni Hani and I'm being stalked by a girl in a bubble-entity.#'Huh I guess he's referring to me? My name was Sam before the Injun's abducted me, but now you can call me Julia. That guy is big trouble. Little Hawk and I have to keep saving his sorry ass.'#It was 1862, in Kentucky, when Kiel Darcy first realized that Sam was different.'What happened to yer medallion Jessica' Kiel asked. 'Did ye lose it''No. Sam has it, ' Jessica said. 'She's always disappearing - and then telling us some weird story about buggies without horses, flying machines, man-sized insect critters from outer-space, and someone she calls "Hani from a bottled bee Heni." She has a fantastic imagination, just like her daddy.'#And then she turned up in Brazil in 1973.#'There, there child. Tell me what happened.' Sophia placed her arm fondly around Sam's tiny shoulder, pulling her close. She retracted her arm in horror. 'My god Pedro The child has an arrow stuck in her arm. Quick Don't just stand there. Go get a doctor Oh My god - and there's a Red Indian sitting on a horse behind her in the doorway.'#'The ice cream in 1973 isn't too bad.

It is easy to get lost or separated while navigating through a wormhole maze, as Phil Crowe and Emily Boyle soon discover. And, stopping an extinction event from happening is just one problem Phil and Sergeant Berry contend with, as they desperately search for Navy SEALs Emily and Captain Simms in the mirages of time. But they still have to outwit Donovan, who is out hunting shadow warriors. And, if he neutralizes the elusive Mr. Smith they are his next target. "I'm a pirate, not a pilot," Captain Avery jokes to Donovan. "I can fly anything with a rudder." Good. Well, that certainly evens the odds. This hair-raising adventure story raises chilling questions about parallel universes, time-travel and life after death. Who created the wormhole maze? Who built the pyramid city? And, why is Captain Simms unconcerned when his team members die horrific deaths? Phil soon discovers that no-one, and nothing is what it seems; and that, if time and monsters don't kill you, Donovan certainly will. 'Dimensions' is a fast-paced science-fiction love adventure of time-travel to parallel universes; with similarities to HG Well's 'Time Machine, ' 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'Timeline.' It is a modern day 'Alice in Wonderland.' This book should appeal to young adults and science fiction enthusiasts of all nationalities and cultures, especially those that enjoy quick moving and action-packed 'Indiana Jones' style Sci-Fi adventure.

The Dandy

The Dandy

Peter K. Andersson

Oxford University Press
2025
sidottu
A history of the dandy from below, from Beau Brummell and Baudelaire to Bowie and Bolan... and beyond. The historical figure of the dandy has commonly been described as an upper-class gentleman, often exemplified by well-known men such as Beau Brummell, Charles Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, and Max Beerbohm. But there is a broader history to be told about the dandy - one that incorporates unknown men from the lower strata of society. The Dandy: A People's History constitutes the first ever history of those dandies who emanated from the less privileged layers of the populace - the lowly clerks, shop assistants, domestic servants, and labourers who increasingly during the modern age have emerged as style-conscious men about town. Peter Andersson shows that dandyism is far from just an elite phenomenon represented by famous poets and artists. He shows how dandyism as a popular youth subculture grew into an influential cultural movement, from the days of Beau Brummell in the early 19th century to the age of mods in the 1960s. A series of fascinating in-depth studies of the wide variety of dandy subcultures that have surfaced around the world in the last two centuries tell the story of how the shaping of fashions and the image of men became increasingly democratized, with the arbiters of taste increasingly coming from the other end of the social spectrum. Along the way, we encounter such long-forgotten groups as the mashers, the knuts, the Paris gandins and the Berlin transgender dandies, alongside more well-known but unexplored figures like the zoot suiter, the teddy boy, and the New Romantic. Above all, this is a story of how fundamental aspects of modern culture such as fashion, style, and conduct have been shaped from below just as much as from above. It is a story that shows how the problematic business of young men trying to find an identity is an enduring phenomenon - and one sadly often accompanied by innocent victims along the way.

Adolescence

Adolescence

Peter K Smith

Oxford University Press
2016
nidottu
Adolescence is a turbulent period to live through, and a time of importance and concern to parents, teachers, and social workers. Marking the transition from the world of childhood to adult life, the adolescent faces many challenges and opportunities, including forming their own identity, relating to often conflicting demands from parents and peers, and negotiating first romantic relationships. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter K. Smith provides an engaging and informative overview of what we know and what we are learning about adolescence. Including both a guide to the classical research that has informed our knowledge, as well as the results of the modern research into the contemporary adolescent experience, Smith examines a number of aspects of adolescence, including the cultural and historical context, the biological changes to the adolescent brain, and the controversies that adolescence brings. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Pockets of Crime

Pockets of Crime

Peter K. B. St. Jean

University of Chicago Press
2007
sidottu
Why, even in the same high-crime neighborhoods, do robbery, drug dealing, and assault occur much more frequently on some blocks than on others? One popular theory is that a weak sense of community among neighbors can create conditions more hospitable for criminals, and another proposes that neighborhood disorder - such as broken windows and boarded-up buildings - makes crime more likely. But in his innovative new study, Peter K. B. St. Jean argues that we cannot fully understand the impact of these factors without considering that, because urban space is unevenly developed, different kinds of crimes occur most often in locations that offer their perpetrators specific advantages. Drawing on Chicago Police Department statistics and extensive interviews with both law-abiding citizens and criminals in one of the city's highest-crime areas, St. Jean demonstrates that drug dealers and robbers, for example, are primarily attracted to locations with businesses like liquor stores, fast food restaurants, and check-cashing outlets. By accounting for these important factors of spatial positioning, he expands upon previous research to provide the most comprehensive explanation available of why crime occurs where it does.

Introduction to the Laplace Transform

Introduction to the Laplace Transform

Peter K. F. Kuhfittig

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
1978
sidottu
The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the Laplace transform on the undergraduate level. The material is drawn from notes for a course taught by the author at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Based on classroom experience, an attempt has been made to (1) keep the proofs short, (2) introduce applications as soon as possible, (3) concentrate on problems that are difficult to handle by the older classical methods, and (4) emphasize periodic phenomena. To make it possible to offer the course early in the curriculum (after differential equations), no knowledge of complex variable theory is assumed. However, since a thorough study of Laplace. transforms requires at least the rudiments of this theory, Chapter 3 includes a brief sketch of complex variables, with many of the details presented in Appendix A. This plan permits an introduction of the complex inversion formula, followed by additional applications. The author has found that a course taught three hours a week for a quarter can be based on the material in Chapters 1, 2, and 5 and the first three sections of Chapter 7. If additional time is available (e.g., four quarter-hours or three semester-hours), the whole book can be covered easily. The author is indebted to the students at the Milwaukee School of Engineering for their many helpful comments and criticisms.

Peter Stevenson provides an introduction to the practice of preaching. It is designed for people from various church traditions, in the early stages of ministerial formation. Preaching is a complex and challenging business requiring a demanding mixture of skills. People listening to a sermon have the right to expect that a person who stands up to preach, can interpret the Bible competently, has a grasp of core Christian beliefs, and believes what they preach. They also expect someone who has the necessary range of communication skills to put the message across in an accessible way. Such a range of expectations presents daunting challenges to the most experienced preacher. Including practical exercises which could be used by individuals or by groups, this book is suitable for introductory courses in preaching or for modules which consider preaching within an overall focus upon leading public worship.

An Introduction To Nineteenth-century Russian Slavophilism

An Introduction To Nineteenth-century Russian Slavophilism

Peter K. Christoff

Routledge
2019
sidottu
This work is the fourth volume of Peter Christoff’s study of nineteenth-century Russian Slavophilism, which grew out of vigorous and prolonged debates between the Slavophils and proponents of Slavophilism’s principal ideological rival, Westernism, in the mid-nineteenth century. As the names indicate, the Westerners looked to the West for the solution to Russia’s political, social, and economic problems. The Slavophils, well-to-do members of the Russian gentry who knew the West well, chose to look inward. Both Slavophils and Westerners favored emancipation of the Russian serfs, which was finally achieved in 1861. In this crucial reform, the Slavophils—Iu. F. Samarin in particular — played a leading role. Since the beginning of glasnost’ and perestroika, Slavophilism has been experiencing a revival in the Soviet Union expressed in a number of ways, including the announced republication of the works of A. S. Khomiakov and I. V. Kireevsky. The original Slavophil circle included these two senior Slavophils as well as K. S. Aksakov and Samarin (1819–1876). Samarin was the youngest and most active of the Moscow Slavophils. Endowed with an exceptional mind and character, he was fluent in several languages and attracted attention while still a young student at Moscow University. He played a leading role in the emancipation of the serfs and in other reforms, sometimes risking his own safety. He left more than eleven volumes of collected works and correspondence—the largest written legacy among the early Slavophils and an invaluable source for the study of Moscow Slavophilism as well as Samarin’s life and activities.

Substance Abuse, Habitual Behavior, And Selfcontrol

Substance Abuse, Habitual Behavior, And Selfcontrol

Peter K. Levison

Routledge
2019
sidottu
This collection of original essays by members of the National Academy of Sciences’ Committee on Substance Abuse and Habitual Behavior offers innovative perspectives on self-control over the use of habituating substances and related types of behavior. The authors review the powerful social-psychological influences of normative rules and interpersonal circumstances in developing individual capacities for self-control in, for example, the use of heroin. They also look at experimental contingencies under which animals engage in self-harming behavior; the induction of exaggerated consumption behavior, such as massive fluid drinking by laboratory rats; and studies of environmental and genetic influences on neurophysiological sensitivity to and preference for alcohol in laboratory mouse strains. The concluding chapter presents an unorthodox perspective on ways of self-governing the consumption of cigarettes and other substances, recognizing the peculiarities of the processes of human choice. In his introduction, volume editor Peter Levison contrasts the diverse approaches reflected in the book with the common-sense notion of self-control.
