Bio/Recursion introduces topics in programming, computer science, and bioinformatics via examples in the R programming language. While often associated with statistics, Bio/Recursion employs R's algorithmic capabilities to implement and visualize several fascinating methods, ranging from DNA alignment to drawing fractal trees.Recursion (self-reference) provides a central theme, with topics spanning searching, sorting, data structures, proofs, fractals, and important bio-informatics algorithms. Along the way, over 100 color illustrations and 150 code blocks illuminate the text, and dozens of exercises challenge the readers' imagination.
A Primer for Computational Biology aims to provide life scientists and students the skills necessary for research in a data-rich world. The text covers accessing and using remote servers via the command-line, writing programs and pipelines for data analysis, and provides useful vocabulary for interdisciplinary work. The book is broken into three parts:Introduction to Unix/Linux: The command-line is the “natural environment” of scientific computing, and this part covers a wide range of topics, including logging in, working with files and directories, installing programs and writing scripts, and the powerful “pipe” operator for file and data manipulation.Programming in Python: Python is both a premier language for learning and a common choice in scientific software development. This part covers the basic concepts in programming (data types, if-statements and loops, functions) via examples of DNA-sequence analysis. This part also covers more complex subjects in software development such as objects and classes, modules, and APIs.Programming in R: The R language specializes in statistical data analysis, and is also quite useful for visualizing large datasets. This third part covers the basics of R as a programming language (data types, if-statements, functions, loops and when to use them) as well as techniques for large-scale, multi-test analyses. Other topics include S3 classes and data visualization with ggplot2.

Romantic commitment is the most consequential investment a man can make. It affects every facet of our lives-from how much money we make, to how long and how happily we live.And the women to whom we offer our commitment are the recipients of our greatest gift.Why, then, do so many of us devote ourselves to women who drive us crazy, or even ruin our lives?And why do we repeat malfunctioning relationship patterns that damage our happiness, our health, and our productivity?At a time when cynicism toward romance is at an all-time high, Gatekeeper offers a counterintuitive message of hope for men: raise your standards. Transcend the history and habits that foster unworkable commitments.A better life is never free. It takes work. But maybe it's time to expect more from ourselves, from our relationships, and from the women in our lives.Gatekeeper is the roadmap for any man starting out, starting over, or simply looking to improve his relationships with women. If commitment is our greatest investment, then our relationships should be among our most powerful assets.
War termination reflects a civil-military bargain and affects relevant decisions made by political leaders. For the leader embroiled in protracted war, this risk dictates whether he or she will commit more resources to the fight or else cut the state's losses and get out.

"How 'Bout That For a Crack Baby" depicts the journey of a young man born in Detroit with drugs in his system, and engulfed in an environment with drug lords, poverty, thieves, death, loneliness, and a lack of guidance. Shawn's man- child journey against the odds led him to two degrees, accolades, awards, and recognition...but most of all, service to ensure that many with similar life circumstances would have a pathway to success. His book is at once descriptive and prescriptive as Shawn uses his amazing life trajectory to inject how to maximize the promise of mentorship - solutions that he has personally employed with great success impacting the lives of black and brown boys in Detroit and across the nation.
The inner workings of the human brain may be a great mystery, but the mind's true purpose has been verified time and time again: your brain is secretly conspiring against you to make you crazy. How else can we account for the needless fears, dramas, tizzies, and rages that affect us on a minute-by-minute basis?The User's Guide to the Human Mind attempts to explain the seemingly inexplicable operations of the human mind, a "don't get eaten machine" better suited to helping mankind escape bears in the forest than helping us cope with the trials and travails of modern life. Written by therapist and blogger Shawn Smith, this lighthearted yet useful guide offers solutions for overcoming the most common unpleasant emotional responses, such as worry, anxiety, pessimism, jealousy, and self-criticism. Readers learn to use cognitive strategies to override unhelpful yet natural emotional responses and create better interpersonal relationships, greater confidence, and peace of mind. The book's goal-setting, prioritizing, and goal-tracking guidance helps readers notice their progress as they gradually prod their brains toward a twenty-first-century-compatible way of processing and dealing with emotions.
In a parallel present, where everyone is born with a black mole on their wrist that lightens the nearer they are to death, a 16-year-old girl finds there is more to life than simply knowing when you will die. Ivy's mortality mole, otherwise known as a "death dot", is Black 6. Her best friend Charlotte's is already Grey 2. Their anticipated progression through the ten shades of Black, Grey and White so far indicate an average lifespan. However, they don't feel so lucky. Their shades might shift... the rate of change could increase... and they are teenagers. In their world, anyone young facing White-or worse, nearing White 10-is better off dead. Until Ivy refuses the shame of White.
Strategy and War Planning in the British Navy, 1887-1918

Overturns existing thinking to show that the Royal Navy engaged professionally in war planning in the years before the First World War. It has been widely accepted that British naval war planning from the late nineteenth century to the First World War was amateur and driven by personal political agenda. But Shawn T. Grimes argues that this was far from the case. His extensive original research shows that, in fact, the Royal Navy had a definitive war strategy, which was well thought-through and formulated in a professional manner. Faced by a perceived Franco-Russian naval threat, the Admiralty adopted an offensive strategy from 1888 to 1905 based on observational blockade and combined operations. This strategy was modified after 1905 for war with Wilhelmine Germany. The book shows how specific war plans aimed at Germany's naval and economic assets in the Baltic were drawn up between 1906 and 1908 and that the strategy of primary distant blockade, formulated between 1897 and 1907, became a reality in late 1912 and not July 1914 as previously thought. The book argues that the Naval Intelligence Department, which took a lead in devising these plans, was the Navy's de facto staff. Overall, it is clear that there was a continuity underpinning British thinking about how to wage a naval war. SHAWN GRIMES received his PhD in history from the University of London and has been a Lecturer in European History at the University of Saskatchewan.
