Ivy used to be on top of the social ladder, until her ex made that all go away. She has the chance to be Queen Bee again, but only if the rest of the group can keep quiet.
Tyler has always been a bad boy, but lately he’s been running low on second chances. There’s no way he’s going to lose everything because someone couldn’t keep their mouth shut.
Kinley wouldn’t describe herself as perfect, though everyone else would. But perfection comes at a price, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do to keep her perfect record – one that doesn’t include murder charges.
Mattie is only in town for the summer. He wasn’t looking to make friends, and he definitely wasn’t looking to be involved in a murder. He’s also not looking to be riddled with guilt for the rest of his life . . . but to prevent that he’ll have to turn them all in.
Cade couldn’t care less about the body, or about the pact to keep the secret. The only way to be innocent is for someone else to be found guilty. Now he just has to decide who that someone will be.

Perfect for fans of Chelsea Pitcher, Karen M. McManus and Holly Jackson!
Lenin once compared art to the human appendix; "in time", he said,
"we shall cut it out". Radicals and socialists have always shared
his ambivalent attitude to high culture: sometimes embracing it,
often rejecting or subverting it, but always creating to some
extent their own alternative cultures of expression and
association.
Major individuals featured in Socialist History 18 include Karl
Marx, Franz Kafka and John Ruskin, whose centenary falls this year.
Lenin himself figures negatively in the discussion by Judith
Harrison and Liam O'Sullivan of the Russian avant-garde and the
state. They show that in the period 1905-1924 a brilliant
generation of revolutionary artists, blasphemers and subversives
under Tsarism, found little improvement under Bolshevism. Matthew
Worley tackles the political culture of the British Communist Party
in the "Third Period", where political marginality was not
incompatible with a rich and vigorously adversarial political
culture. Andrew Whitehead also explores the problems of creating an
independent working-class culture, but in the very different
circumstances of late 19th century Clerkenwell, an inner London
district with deeply rooted traditions of artisan radicalism, where
he captures the moment of transition from radicalism to
socialism.
In tracing the differing paths which socialists take to forge
their cultural and political identity, the range of articles
reflects the complex relationship of the left to culture.
Bringing together leading authorities and cutting edge scholars,
this collection re-examines the defining concepts of Stalinism and
the Stalinization odel. The aim of the book is to explore how the
common imperatives of a centralized movement were experienced
across national boundaries.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one of the most important
tools employed in contemporary environmental management. Presenting
the component activities of EIA within a coherent methodological
framework, Environmental Impact Assessment: A Methodological
Approach provides students and practitioners alike with a rigorous
grounding in EIA theory, including biophysical, social, strategic
and cumulative assessment activities, and examines the crucial
role, and limitations, of the science of EIA. Deliberately designed
to be relevant world-wide, the author focuses on the common skills
and generic aspects of EIA that underpin all impact assessment
work, independent of country or jurisdiction, such as screening and
scoping, impact identification, public involvement, prediction and
monitoring, evaluation, and quality control. The variety of
approaches are identified along with their associated strengths and
weaknesses, enabling potential, new and experienced practitioners
to make informed choices and to improve their working practices
through a better understanding of EIA activity. The ultimate aim of
this book is to move from the notion of EIA as a technical
procedure towards a concept of EIA as a particular form of
problem-solving with varied methodological requirements.

INTRODUCTION 1. - The problem for analysis and requirements 2. -
Results 3. - Comparison of computer times 4. - Conclusion.
INTRODUCTION In 1981 it appeared to the organizers that a workshop
to compare codes to solve the Navier -Stokes equations would be of
great interest to the community of numerical analysts and users
working on CFD (Computer fluid Dynamics}. A test problem would have
to be selected with the following features: 1. it should be suited
for all known methods (finite differences, finite elements,
spectral ... ) thus the geometry should be simple. 2. it should be
simple so that scientists with small computer facilities can test
it and the gradients in the flow should be reasonable in size so
that algo rithms don't blow up with a limited number of points and
iterations. In practice one would have to select a stationary flow
at moderate Reynolds number. 3. it should be a real flow to allow
experimental asurements. The simplest problem used previously was
the cavity flow problem; however the singularity of the data at the
boundary (point A and B on figure 1} makes it difficult for the
Finite Element and Spectral methods; furthermore it is not such an
easy experiment to set up. A B .... u = 2 Flow around a cylinder,
although most interesting of all, is too difficult because it is
unbounded (many grid points) and very quickly unsteady {Re 30)."
From the world of the best-selling trilogy of books and the hit
Netflix show comes a new chapter in the ALTERED CARBON universe! In
the future, bodies can be changed like clothes, giving life an
entirely new meaning-or lack of meaning. Takeshi Kovacs-once a
member of the Envoy Corps, the elite, deadly troops of the
Interstellar Earth Protectorate-now finds himself imprisoned . . .
both in a jail and in an extremely weak body. When he learns that
Envoys he served with in a battle he somehow can't remember have
been stolen and sold to one of the richest people in the universe,
Kovacs vows to rescue them and get revenge. Leaving behind a
staggering body count as he blazes across the galaxy, he wonders
why he has a hole in his memory . . . and what secrets that gap
holds for understanding his future and himself. ALTERED CARBON
writer/creator RICHARD K. MORGAN is joined by writer SCOTT BRYAN
WILSON (Batman Annual, Batman: Gotham Nights) and artist MAX FUCHS
(Halcyon Days) to deliver the original graphic novel ALTERED
CARBON: ONE LIFE, ONE DEATH, a violent, galaxy-spanning adventure
of prison breaks, political intrigue, and sinister machinations.
In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person’s consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or “sleeve”) making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.
Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold. For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning. . . .
In the distant future, the human body is a temporary and
interchangeable commodity - if you can pay. For the interstellar
elite, bodies are swapped out and reused without a second thought.
You never grow old; you never die. However, some bodies are more
temporary than others ... Takeshi Kovacs was once a member of the
Envoy Corps, stormtroopers for the Interstellar Earth Protectorate,
ultra-lethal adepts in switching bodies across the stars. While he
served, he was known by a variety of names--Mamba Lev, One Hand
Rending, the Icepick--all testament to his capacity for rapid
response and extreme violence in whatever flesh he wore. Now he's
out of the service and trying to live a different life. But the
Protectorate hasn't changed its spots, no matter what world Kovacs
drifts to, and with that old combat rage still burning deep inside
him, will he ever really be able to walk away? Created by Richard
K. Morgan, Altered Carbon was previously adapted as a Netflix
television series. This original graphic novel, written by Rik
Hoskin (Brandon Sanderson's White Sand/Pierce Brown's Red Rising,
expands upon the Altered Carbon universe.
A dark lord will rise. Such is the prophecy that dogs Ringil
Eskiath--Gil, for short--a washed-up mercenary and onetime war hero
whose cynicism is surpassed only by the speed of his sword. Gil is
estranged from his aristocratic family, but when his mother enlists
his help in freeing a cousin sold into slavery, Gil sets out to
track her down. But it soon becomes apparent that more is at stake
than the fate of one young woman. Grim sorceries are awakening in
the land. Some speak in whispers of the return of the Aldrain, a
race of widely feared, cruel yet beautiful demons. Now Gil and two
old comrades are all that stand in the way of a prophecy whose
fulfillment will drown an entire world in blood. But with heroes
like these, the cure is likely to be worse than the disease.
