Four years after his wife and children disappeared, Ryan Milligan
decides it's time to let go of the past and move to a new home on
Mulberry Lane. Ryan hoped his new house and peaceful neighbourhood
would help him to cope better with the pain of losing his family
and to continue his search. Whilst settling in and writing his new
novel, 'Killing for Your Love', he realises things are not what
they seem... "My new house is only a mile away from the home I used
to live in with Tan and the kids, but now I feel like I'm in a
different world. I can't help but feel like I've been here before
and done this before. There's a presence here, I can feel it. There
are things happening in this house that aren't normal. I'm
threatened by the lack of control I have over them. There's one
room where I feel it most, and as I stare at the door leading down
into the basement, it begins to creak open." New Horror novel by T.
J. Blake.
London is silent. Severed bodies lie amongst the rubble. What once
was a lively city is now a murderous grave, enclosed in smoke and
ash. The cause of the destruction is unknown. Left haunted and
terrified, survivor Tom Williams confronts the brutal, mutilated
streets as he fights to uncover the truth. Could he be the last
hope to restore normality?
Active Contours deals with the analysis of moving images - a topic
of growing importance within the computer graphics industry. In
particular it is concerned with understanding, specifying and
learning prior models of varying strength and applying them to
dynamic contours. Its aim is to develop and analyse these modelling
tools in depth and within a consistent framework.
Maria Chapdelaine, the quintessential novel of the rugged life
of early French-Canadian colonists, is based on the author's
experiences as a hired hand in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area. A
young woman living with her family on the Quebec frontier, Maria
endures the hardships of isolation and climate. Maria must
eventually choose between three suitors who represent very
different ways of life: a trapper, a farmer, and a Parisian
immigrant.
Powerful in its simplicity, this novel captures the essence of
faith and tenacity, the key ingredients of survivance. Translated
into many languages, Maria Chapdelaine is enshrined as a classic of
Canadian letters. A new introduction by Michael Gnarowski examines
its relevance and provides insights into Louis Hemon's life.
Using physics and biology to examine social dynamics is not new and
is often referred to as socio-physics. This is the first sustained
attempt utilizing current research to apply this approach to the
fields of criminal justice and penology. The authors intend this
new research to promote a more innovative, creative and critical
approach to the classic issues of criminal justice, penology and
correctional / offender issues.
IN 1961 the first volume of Edwin Haviland Miller's "The
Correspondence was published in the newly established series the
Collected Writings of Walt Whitman. Miller proceeded to publish
five additional volumes of Whitman letters, and other leading
scholars, including Roger Asselineau, compiled accompanying volumes
of prose, poems, and daybooks. Yet by the late 1980s, the Whitman
Collected Writings project was hopelessly scattered, fragmented,
and incomplete. Now, more than forty years after the inaugural
volume's original publication, Ted Genoways brings scholars the
latest volume in "Walt Whitman: The Correspondence. Incorporating
all of the letters Miller had collected before his death in 2001
and combining them with more than a hundred previously unknown
letters Genoways himself gathered, volume 7 is a perfect
accompaniment to Miller's original six-volume work. Among the more
than one hundred fifty letters collected in this volume are
numerous correspondences concerning Whitman's Civil War years,
including a letter sending John Hay, the personal secretary to
Abraham Lincoln, a manuscript copy of "O Captain, My Captain!"
Additional letters address various aspects of the production of
"Leaves of Grass, the most notable being an extensive
correspondence surrounding the "Deathbed Edition, gathered by
Whitman's friend Horace Traubel, and reproduced here for the first
time. Most significantly, this volume at last incorporates
Whitman's early letters to Abraham Paul Leech, first published by
Arthur Golden in "American Literature in 1986. The revelations
contained in these letters must be considered among the most
important discoveries about Whitman's life made during the last
half of thetwentieth century. Regardless of whether its
significance is great or small, immediate or long-term, each new
piece of Whitman's correspondence returns us to a particular moment
in his life and suggests the limitless directions that remain for
Whitman scholarship.
