Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

Author Mickey See-Asia brings her readers into a world of
promiscuity, fornication, greed, lust, jealousy, trickery, and
adultery amongst the characters in her novel. She then takes her
readers on a roller coaster ride of pure sensuality and
spirituality that leads to intimate, inspiring, monogamous but
healthy relationships. Is this truly what every woman wants as
stated in the subtitle of The Dominican Affair?
This book contains recent contributions to the fields of rigidity
and symmetry with two primary focuses: to present the
mathematically rigorous treatment of rigidity of structures and to
explore the interaction of geometry, algebra and combinatorics.
Contributions present recent trends and advances in discrete
geometry, particularly in the theory of polytopes. The rapid
development of abstract polytope theory has resulted in a rich
theory featuring an attractive interplay of methods and tools from
discrete geometry, group theory, classical geometry, hyperbolic
geometry and topology. Overall, the book shows how researchers from
diverse backgrounds explore connections among the various discrete
structures with symmetry as the unifying theme. The volume will be
a valuable source as an introduction to the ideas of both
combinatorial and geometric rigidity theory and its applications,
incorporating the surprising impact of symmetry. It will appeal to
students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as
well as post docs, structural engineers and chemists.
"Where I Come From" Asia shares her childhood experiences of riding
at the back of the bus. As well as, other experiences that were
considered normal styles of living for a sharecropper on an old
abandon farm. Inspirational poems of wisdom and encouragement are
birthed from the lessons. Created with every intense moment and
struggle that was a turning point. Asia had to discover her own
path and destiny in life with many unknowing hardships.
This book consists of contributions from experts, presenting a
fruitful interplay between different approaches to discrete
geometry. Most of the chapters were collected at the conference
"Geometry and Symmetry" in Veszprem, Hungary from 29 June to 3 July
2015. The conference was dedicated to Karoly Bezdek and Egon
Schulte on the occasion of their 60th birthdays, acknowledging
their highly regarded contributions in these fields. While the
classical problems of discrete geometry have a strong connection to
geometric analysis, coding theory, symmetry groups, and number
theory, their connection to combinatorics and optimization has
become of particular importance. The last decades have seen a
revival of interest in discrete geometric structures and their
symmetry. The rapid development of abstract polytope theory has
resulted in a rich theory featuring an attractive interplay of
methods and tools from discrete geometry, group theory and
geometry, combinatorial group theory, and hyperbolic geometry and
topology. This book contains papers on new developments in these
areas, including convex and abstract polytopes and their recent
generalizations, tiling and packing, zonotopes, isoperimetric
inequalities, and on the geometric and combinatorial aspects of
linear optimization. The book is a valuable resource for
researchers, both junior and senior, in the field of discrete
geometry, combinatorics, or discrete optimization. Graduate
students find state-of-the-art surveys and an open problem
collection.
This animal book explores the many clever and creative ways animals
communicate with each other, from head-turning howls to
jaw-dropping dances. For many animals, communicating is as
important to their life chances as finding food and water. Animal
Talk is a brilliant introduction to ingenious communication
strategies in the natural world. Whether it is releasing a cloud of
ink to confuse, roaring to intimidate, dancing to attract a mate or
howling to locate one another, the range of messaging methods in
the natural world is quite astonishing (and sometimes quite
disgusting!). Perfect for children aged 7-9, the animal book is
filled with intriguing illustrations and spectacular photographs of
the amazing, obscure, and unusual. You'll never look at nature the
same way again! This captivating animal book for children offers: -
A fascinating array of animal communications from a wide variety of
different species for children aged 7-9. - Expertly written text
and accompanying images to clearly explain each animal
communication. - Several sections which break down different animal
themes, such as sounds, scents, and signals to make the content
easy to understand. - Incredible facts about how animals
communicate - including how elephants communicate over huge
distances by listening through the soles of their feet, how whales
communicate through song, and more. Meet birds and spiders who
dance to attract a mate, vultures that are sick on their own food
to put off other animals, lions who roar at rival prides to test
out their strength, and many more. Animal Talk is a must-have for
the animal-obsessed, as well as making an interesting resource for
school and libraries. At DK, we believe in the power of discovery.
So why not complete the collection? If you liked Animal Talk and
finding out about the creative ways that animals communicate with
each other, why not check out the other intriguing animal title in
the series? How Not To Get Eaten is a book about the many clever
ways animals protect themselves from predators in the wild!
The volume provides a retrospective analysis of Putin's eight years
as president between 2000 and 2008. An international group of
leading specialists examine Putin's leadership in an informed and
balanced manner. The authors are drawn from Russia itself, as well
as from Europe, America and Australasia. Coverage includes general
analysis of the Putin presidency, the ideology underlying the
thinking of the regime, issues of institutional development
including coverage of parties, parliament and elections,
developments in the federal system, corruption and changes in the
configuration of the elite. The impact of energy on changes in
political economy provides the background to an assessment of
Russia's re-emergence as a great power in international affairs,
accompanied by analysis of the difficulties in Russia's relations
with its former Soviet neighbours and the European Union. The
authors examine the interaction between power and policy, and draw
some conclusions about the dynamics of Putin's system of government
and thus of the fate of Russia. This book was published as a
special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.

Uncover tales of ancient beasts, in this beautiful anthology of
mythologies This book introduces children to the thrilling
mythological beasts from ancient civilisations. Discover 23 stories
accompanied by beautiful, colourful illustrations. Through the
incredible storytelling you can learn about fantastic creatures
such as the Japanese baku, which had the power to devour
nightmares, the wise Egyptian Sphinx, and the fearsome Minotaur who
went head-to-head with Theseus in Greek mythology. Featured pages
highlight amazing real-life photos of objects, showing how each
beast was represented in art. A perfect, global introduction to the
most fascinating stories about legendary creatures from ancient
history.
The aim of this volume is to reinforce the interaction between the
three main branches (abstract, convex and computational) of the
theory of polytopes. The articles include contributions from many
of the leading experts in the field, and their topics of concern
are expositions of recent results and in-depth analyses of the
development (past and future) of the subject. The subject matter of
the book ranges from algorithms for assignment and transportation
problems to the introduction of a geometric theory of polyhedra
which need not be convex. With polytopes as the main topic of
interest, there are articles on realizations, classifications,
Eulerian posets, polyhedral subdivisions, generalized stress, the
Brunn--Minkowski theory, asymptotic approximations and the
computation of volumes and mixed volumes. For researchers in
applied and computational convexity, convex geometry and discrete
geometry at the graduate and postgraduate levels.
