Machine Learning for Planetary Science presents planetary
scientists with a way to introduce machine learning into the
research workflow as increasingly large nonlinear datasets are
acquired from planetary exploration missions. The book explores
research that leverages machine learning methods to enhance our
scientific understanding of planetary data and serves as a guide
for selecting the right methods and tools for solving a variety of
everyday problems in planetary science using machine learning.
Illustrating ways to employ machine learning in practice with case
studies, the book is clearly organized into four parts to provide
thorough context and easy navigation. The book covers a range of
issues, from data analysis on the ground to data analysis onboard a
spacecraft, and from prioritization of novel or interesting
observations to enhanced missions planning. This book is therefore
a key resource for planetary scientists working in data analysis,
missions planning, and scientific observation.

It's the War of 1812. The early days of the war are met with one
failure after another. General Hull has surrendered an entire army
to the British without inflicting a single casualty. After
discussing the lack of Army leadership with the Secretary of War,
President Madison decides he needs someone to be a mover and
shaker. Jonah Lee fits that description. Once a trusted scout for
General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, Jonah is a man of action. His first
assignment as an agent for the President is to ensure the Northern
American army under General William Harrison takes the fight to the
British, pushing them back into Canada. And -if possible- do it
before the winter sets in. The United States cannot afford a long
protracted engagement. Follow Jonah and his lifelong companion
Moses as they take you from the massacre at the River Raisin, to
Commodore Perry's great defeat of the British on the Great Lakes,
and end with the overwhelming British defeat at the battle of the
Thames. Experience the hardships of war, smell the battle smoke as
cannons roar and feel the sensation of a beautiful woman in your
arms.
July 1778. A French fleet of mighty warships under Comte d'Estaing
arrives off Sandy Hook to aid the colonies. The British Navy finds
itself hard pressed to fulfill the duties cast upon it. Vice
Admiral Lord Anthony has temporarily transferred his flag to the
frigate, HMS "Peregrine" for diplomatic duty. The ship's captain is
Lord Anthony's brother, Gabe. The mission is to transport prisoners
of war and their families to Norfolk, Virginia in exchange for
British prisoners. Sailing under a flag of truce "Peregrine" is
viciously attacked. The roar of cannons and smell of gunpowder once
again fills the air as Lord Anthony's ships struggle to do their
duty. BOSON BOOKS also features the first four books by Michael Aye

Admiral Lord Gilbert Anthony and his brother Lieutenant Gabriel
Anthony, fighting for the Crown during the American Revolution,
find adventure, daring privateers, and a ghost ship.
The ghost ship "Barracuda" plies the waters off the coast of Saint
Augustine in 1777. The "Barracuda" takes no prize and leaves no one
alive. Tracking down the "Barracuda" is only one of the many
challenges and battles the brothers face when assigned to protect
Florida loyalists.
Facing the privateers, who know the surrounding inlets and rivers,
affords a series of dangerous missions for the crew and costs them
many men and a few good ships. As the war takes its toll, Gil
yearns to return to England, while Gabe steals the hearts of local
women.
In this second exciting adventure of the British Navy in the
American Revolution by Michael Aye, the Fighting Anthonys return to
wage war against the colonials. This time Gabe is at the center of
the action as he takes command for the first time. Not one to stand
aside, he leads a daring cutting out expedition that ends
disastrously. Separated from the crew, he is presumed dead. But his
brother Gil knows better. Love, blood, and battle will unite the
brothers once again-as long as the seas are running and their
powder remains dry!

officers, Lieutenant Witzenfeld. But the real conflict lies ahead
with the menacing pirate raiders who must be captured to end the
depredations against peaceful English merchants. There Drakkar will
find the feared pirate frigate Reaper and have her entire crew
tested in savage combat
