They are the "Others," an ancient race of supernatural
beings--magicians, shape-shifters, vampires, and healers--who live
among us. Human born, they must choose a side to swear allegiance
to--the Dark or the Light--when they come of age.
For a millennium, these opponents have coexisted in an uneasy
peace, enforced by defenders like the Night Watch, forces of the
Light who guard against the Dark. But prophecy decrees that one
supreme "Other" will arise to spark a cataclysmic war.
Anton Gorodetsky, an untested mid-level Light magician with the
Night Watch, discovers a cursed young woman--an Other of tremendous
potential unallied with either side--who can shift the balance of
power. With the battle lines between Light and Dark drawn, the
magician must move carefully, for one wrong step could mean the
beginning of annihilation.
The third book in Sergei Lukyanenko's dark and thrilling Night
Watch series--a visionary blend of urban fantasY and riveting
thriller, set in contemporary Moscow
Night Watch and Day Watch revealed the "Others," an ancient race
of supernatural beings--magicians, shape-shifters, vampires, and
healers--who live among us and swear allegiance to either the Dark
or the Light. For a millennium, these opponents have coexisted in
an uneasy truce, guarding each other and tottering on the brink of
war.
In Twilight Watch, the Others face their greatest threat yet. An
ancient book of spells with the power to turn ordinary humans into
Others has fallen into the wrong hands, threatening to destroy the
precarious balance between the forces of Darkness and Light. Now
the Night Watch and the Day Watch must cooperate to stop the
culprit. Anton, the hero from Night Watch, is back, but when the
renegade Other turns out to be closer to home than he expected, the
race to prevent global war becomes more urgent than ever. And as
Anton gets closer to discovering the true nature of the Others, he
begins to question how much of a difference there truly is between
the Dark and the Light.
A frightening new danger arises to threaten the Twilight. . .
.
For a millennium, the Others have maintained an uneasy peace
that has protected them and the Twilight, a shadowy parallel world
beneath our own. But the battle for supremacy between the forces of
the Light and the Darkness is far from over. . . .
Now older and more powerful, Light magician Anton Gorodetsky has
risen to the top levels of the Night Watch. He is also father to a
ten-year-old girl who is destined to become a magician of
unprecedented power. When he hears a young boy at the airport
screaming that a plane will crash, Anton suspects the child is a
prophet--a rare type of Other who portends catastrophe.
If Anton is right, then the boy has awakened a terrifying
danger--a rare, multifaced beast that exists to stop the prophecy
from coming true. With their lives in mortal peril and time running
out, Anton must find a way to keep his gifted young daughter safe .
. . and save the Twilight itself.

Historically, mathematics, probability, and statistics have been
widely used in the biological sciences. Recent progress in genomics
has yielded many millions of gene sequences. But what do these
sequences tell us and what are the generalities and rules governed
by them? It seems that we understand very little about the genetic
contexts required to 'read' them. There is more to life than the
genomic blueprint of each organism. Life functions within the
natural laws that we know and the ones we do not know. The
development of modern mathematical natural sciences is based on the
use of certain mathematical tools. Mathematics can be used to
understand life from the molecular to the biosphere level.This book
provides the foundation and latest advances for an emerging
research area that uses tools from symbolic computation, computer
algebra and logic, algebraic geometry, fractal geometry,
probability and statistics, and matrix algebra to formalize and
solve biological problems and explore its applications in algebraic
biology and code biology. It introduces highly interdisciplinary
topics in biomathematics such as matrix genetics, gestalt biology,
bio-antenna arrays, resonance genetics, quantum biology, and more.

This book focuses on the notion of the environmental sustainability
of the economy. The Sustainable Development Goals, formulated by
the UN, led to the formation of a concept of the environmental
sustainability of the economy. This concept implies the harmony of
economy and environment, achieved due to the support for the SDGs
in the economy. This book is original due to its
reconsidering the environmental sustainability of the economy from
the position of crises. The theoretical significance of the
book consists in the development of an anti-crisis approach to the
provision of the environmental sustainability of the economy:
responsible nature use based on digital markets and smart
governance. The proprietary approach allows for the comprehensive
description of the potential of the leading
technologies—artificial intelligence (AI), robots, the Internet
of Things (IoT), and blockchain—to support—during their use in
smart governance—crisis management of the environmental
sustainability of economy. The book’s practical significance is
due to the description and detailed discussion of the modern
international experience of responsible nature use given the
specifics of developed and developing countries. The anti-crisis
approach to the provision of the environmental sustainability of
the economy is based on digital markets: FinTech, EdTech, GovTech,
AgroTech, and EnergyTech, the practice of which is described in the
book with the help of multiple examples from the international
experience and case studies. The book is aimed at scholars who
study environmental economics. In this book, they find an
innovative view of the environmental sustainability of the economy
in its close connection with economic crises.
The term "stereotype space" was introduced in 1995 and denotes a
category of locally convex spaces with surprisingly elegant
properties. Its study gives an unexpected point of view on
functional analysis that brings this fi eld closer to other main
branches of mathematics, namely, to algebra and geometry. This
volume contains the foundations of the theory of stereotype spaces,
with accurate definitions, formulations, proofs, and numerous
examples illustrating the interaction of this discipline with the
category theory, the theory of Hopf algebras, and the four big
geometric disciplines: topology, differential geometry, complex
geometry, and algebraic geometry.
