Aging actress Wynonna Bertrand is well-known among the
entertainment elite as someone not to cross in business-or in bed.
Known for her evil temper and total disregard for anyone else but
herself, Wynonna still thinks she is the hottest property in
Hollywood. But as she boards Trans County Airways Flight 19 from
New York to Los Angeles, no one knows that Wynonna is hiding a dark
secret.
Already in a foul mood before the plane takes off, Wynonna
unhappily settles into her seat in first class with the intent of
drowning her troubles in Scotch. On board with her is an eclectic
group of passengers, including Paul Danielson, a drop-dead gorgeous
New Yorker with a look that could set Hollywood on fire; Craig
Lewis, a talent scout who is always on the search for a new
recruit; Thelma and Millicent, longtime friends who are headed to
California for a girl's getaway; and Norman and Katherine Great,
seemingly quiet airplane virgins who are about to reveal a
completely different side.
To make matters worse, just as the already-eventful flight is
winding down, a first-class crew member discovers Wynonna's
lifeless body.
In this humorous drama, all the passengers of Flight 19 suddenly
become murder suspects as a famed actress's past comes back to
haunt her.
A state-of-the-art view of recent developments in the use of
artificial neural networks for analysing remotely sensed satellite
data. Neural networks, as a new form of computational paradigm,
appear well suited to many of the tasks involved in this image
analysis. This book demonstrates a wide range of uses of neural
networks for remote sensing applications and reports the views of a
large number of European experts brought together as part of a
concerted action supported by the European Commission.

On a wintry day in December 1890, near a creek named Wounded
Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, the Seventh
Cavalry of the U.S. Army opened fire on an encampment of Sioux
Indians. This assault claimed more than 250 lives, including those
of many Indian women and children. The tragedy at Wounded Knee has
often been written about, but the existing photographs have
received little attention until now.
"Eyewitness at Wounded Knee" brings together and assesses for
the first time some 150 photographs that were made before and
immediately after the massacre. Present at the scene were two
itinerant photographers, George Trager and Clarence Grant
Morelodge, whose work has never before been published. Accompanying
commentaries focus on both the Indian and the military sides of the
story. Richard E. Jensen analyzes the political and economic
quagmire in which the Sioux found themselves after 1877. R. Eli
Paul considers the army's role at Wounded Knee. John E. Carter
discusses the photographers and also the reporters and relic
hunters who were looking to profit from the misfortune of
others.
For this Bison Books edition each image has been digitally
enhanced and restored, making the photographs as compelling as the
event itself. Heather Cox Richardson tells the story behind the
endeavor to present a meaningful account of this significant
historical event.
In the Third Edition of The Psychology Research
Handbook expert researchers provide graduate students
and research assistants with a comprehensive framework for
conducting psychology research. The book is organized around the
idea of a "research script," following the step-by-step process of
planning, design, data collection, analysis, and
dissemination.Â
