Night in the Dogs Head is a historically-based novel of courage and sacrifice. American soldiers are committed to a war half-way around the world to preserve a nation from a takeover by a socialist tyrant. The policy that sent Americans to Asian battlefields was subsequently repudiated. For the next three years US Forces fought and died in a war their country no longer wanted to win. While American forces consistently won their battles and inflicted appalling casualties on their foe, a poorly informed and sensation-seeking media mislead the American public, conflicted politicians turned against the war, and the US submitted to a third-rate Asian nation.The novel is set in the political and military affairs of the time. It realistically presents the courage and dedication, the successes and the failures of the men who fought - not for principal, but to survive a war their nation didnt want to win. Friend and foe alike are followed to reveal who they were, how and why they fought. It is a story of the… Read More

Violissa has been kidnapped by Tynan, her powers stripped, her immortality stolen. Held prisoner in a world from which there is no escape, she discovers a history buried in time as her presence awakens a land once thought to have been lost forever. Drawing upon her connection to the land that now holds her captive, she will be pushed to the edge, using every bit of her wit and strength to escape Tynan's grasp and find her way back to Sinow. While Violissa fights for her survival, Sinow struggles to save her, finding no entry into her prison. Wrestling to make sense of this new twist in the prophecy's path, he is forced to wait in agony as each day passes, confronting his own demons in the process. Their journey will bring to light the Fates' true intent and reveal the ultimate cost of Violissa's initial step from the prophecy's path. Will this be the final act or yet another redirection of a prophecy still unbound?

The book presents a comprehensive view on Flow-Aware Networking. It starts with a brief overview of the known QoS architectures based on the concept of a flow. Then, the original FAN concept is presented, along with its variations proposed by the authors. The next chapter covers a very valuable feature of the FAN architecture, namely its ability to assure net neutrality. The chapters that follow will discuss, in detail, a variety of issues making the FAN concept implementable, including congestion control, fairness, resilience to failures, service differentiation and degradation. The final chapter presents the test implementation of the FAN router, including the environment used and performance tests. Chapters are supplemented with problems to solve, along with their solutions. The pedagogical character of the book is supported by a number of illustrative examples contained in most of the chapters. At the end of the book, a glossary of the key terms is included, along with a comprehensive… Read More

This plastic-spiral-bound workbook is designed as a companion to the editors' Road Vehicle Dynamics, but contains adequate material to stand alone without the parent text. No previous knowledge of road vehicle dynamics is assumed. The book is organized around the concepts of road vehicle dynamics as they have been developed in the frequency and time domain for an introductory undergraduate or graduate course for engineering students of all disciplines, and contains about 300 example problems and detailed worked solutions. Theory is kept to a minimum, and necessary theory is presented in a heuristic and intuitive manner. Safety considerations are covered in most chapters throughout the book. Two complete chapters are devoted to roll dynamics and accident reconstruction to address the legal issues that may result from an automotive accident. About 250 pages of appendices offer background on vector algebra, matrice analysis, Laplace transforms, direct numerical integration methods, and accident… Read More

Many new challenges have arisen in the area of oncology clinical trials. New cancer therapies are often based on cytostatic or targeted agents, which pose new challenges in the design and analysis of all phases of trials. The literature on adaptive trial designs and early stopping has been exploding. Inclusion of high-dimensional data and imaging techniques have become common practice, and statistical methods on how to analyse such data have been refined in this area. A compilation of statistical topics relevant to these new advances in cancer research, this third edition of Handbook of Statistics in Clinical Oncology focuses on the design and analysis of oncology clinical trials and translational research.
Addressing the many challenges that have arisen since the publication of its predecessor, this third edition covers the newest developments involved in the design and analysis of cancer clinical trials, incorporating updates to all four parts:
Accessible to statisticians and oncologists interested… Read More

Circa 63 AD, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia Minor, and Bithynia, were Christian converts experiencing undefined degrees of suffering and persecution. At some point, the Apostle Peter, who was most likely residing in Rome at the time, had received news of what these Christians were enduring and was compelled to write to them, advising them to remember the grace and peace that is found in Jesus Christ and why they had converted to Christianity in the first place.
What Peter shared with the First Century Christians, in what is now modern day Turkey, would encapsulate everything he had learned since the moment Jesus commanded him to "Follow Me" and the thirty years that followed. Christ followers today, 21st Century men, are blessed to have the opportunity to mentally consume and heartfully digest the faith and grace teachings of Peter to this very day.
Peter would remind suffering Christians, the exiled elect of God, that there is a Living Hope even in the midst of their… Read More

With READING TO LEARN IN THE CONTENT AREAS, Seventh Edition, future educators discover how they can teach students to use reading, discussion, and writing as vehicles for learning in any discipline. The text explores how the increased availability of computers, instructional software, and Internet resources, as well as the rise of electronic literacy in general, have affected the ways children learn and create meaning from their world. The authors' unique lesson framework for instruction, PAR (Preparation/Assistance/Reflection), extends throughout the book. The text's reader-friendly presentation, balanced approach, strong research base, and inclusion of real-life examples from a variety of subject areas and grade levels have helped make it one of the most popular and effective books on the market.
