One Girl Began entwines the stories of three women, separated by
history but connected by the same building. For Ellen in 1909, it
is a box factory where she finds work and a transformative circle
of friendship when her family fall on hard times. For Frances in
1984, it is a derelict ruin, where she joins a group of squatters
and is drawn into a coercive relationship. And for Amanda in 2020,
it is a gentrified conversion, where she finds herself trapped in a
tiny flat and grappling with new motherhood as the pandemic looms
into view. Over the span of 111 years these three women will come
to haunt one another backwards and forwards in time, each immersed
in the ripples of the lives that came before, and each struggling
with the same questions of who to be and how to live.

Eleanor, Richard and their two young daughters recently stretched
themselves to the limit to buy their dream home, a four-bedroom
Victorian townhouse in East London. But the cracks are already
starting to show. Eleanor is unnerved by the eerie atmosphere in
the house and becomes convinced it is making her ill. Whilst
Richard remains preoccupied with Zoe, their mercurial
twenty-seven-year-old lodger, Eleanor becomes determined to unravel
the mystery of the house's previous owners - including Emily, whose
name is written hundreds of times on the walls of the upstairs
room.
This workbook is a guide for using The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics
Anonymous for people with dual disorders; those who have an
addictive disorder and an emotional or mental problem. It is
written by Kate Murray Brown who is a retired Licensed Alcohol and
Drug Abuse Counselor in Tenneesee. After working for 21 years in
private practice and in treatment centers, I created this workbook
using the same methods and interventions for dual disorders that
were helpful then, and continue to be helpful now. This workbook
will help the client, their loved ones, counselors, and friends
better understand the dynamics of dual disorders. Each step is
written in language that is easy to understand. It addresses
addiction and emotional or mental problems simultaneously. Each
step has written exercises that clearly explain the meaning of the
step and how it applies to the individual. It is written with care,
humor, and encouragement. Thank you to Alcoholics Anonymous World
Services, Inc. for giving me permission to reprint and adapt the
Twelve Steps. contact me: [email protected]
The second edition of Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical
Modeling and Text Retrieval follows the basic premise of the first
edition by discussing many of the key design issues for building
search engines and emphasizing the important role that applied
mathematics can play in improving information retrieval. The
authors discuss important data structures, algorithms, and software
as well as user-centered issues such as interfaces, manual
indexing, and document preparation. Readers will find that the
second edition includes significant changes that bring the text up
to date on current information retrieval methods. For example, the
authors have added a completely new chapter on link-structure
algorithms used in search engines such as Google, and the chapter
on user interface has been rewritten to specifically focus on
search engine usability. To reflect updates in the literature on
information retrieval, the authors have added new recommendations
for further reading and expanded the bibliography. In addition, the
index has been updated and streamlined to make it more reader
friendly. text for courses in information retrieval, applied linear
algebra, and scientific computing. Because of the authors'
informal, conversational tone, readers with nonmathematical
backgrounds also will appreciate the less technical chapters of the
text.
