Totem
A land of history, magic and legend.... Sarah Cooley, 14, and her friends want to return to Bear Valley in Olympic National Park before Buckhorn begins mining erbium, a substance rumored to detoxify coal. Carl Larsen, saddled with his difficult niece Laurie, is investigating mysterious elk kills on nearby National Forest lands. Victoria Oldsea, Buckhorn's project manager, hopes to take her son Jared camping as a break from work before the mining begins. A terrible windstorm upends everything. Strange, inexplicable animals appear. Ancient visions of an ancient people, perhaps dreams, possibly memory, are reported. Are the Olympics more mysterious than anyone knows? Does the answer lie in Bear Valley? Totem is the third and concluding tale in the Strong Heart series, starting in Strong Heart, continuing in Adrift, and now following Sarah Cooley and her friends to an astounding conclusion as they face conflict, danger, mythical legend, and ancient truth.
WITS: The 'Open' Years
In the period between the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and the enactment of university apartheid by the Nationalist Government in 1959, the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (Wits) developed as an ‘open university’, admitting students of all races. This, the second volume of the history of Wits by historian Bruce Murray, has as its central theme the process by which Wits became ‘open’, the compromises this process entailed, and the defence the University mounted to preserve its ‘open’ status in the face of the challenges posed by the Nationalist Government. The University’s institutional autonomy is highlighted by Yunus Ballim in his preface to the centenary edi...

Negotiating the treaty required more than fifteen years and the consent of more than one hundred and fifty nations. The resulting treaty, composed of three hundred and twenty ...
Intelligent and Fuzzy Techniques: Smart and Innovative Solutions
This book gathers the most recent developments in fuzzy & intelligence systems and real complex systems presented at INFUS 2020, held in Istanbul on July 21–23, 2020. The INFUS conferences are a well-established international research forum to advance the foundations and applications of intelligent and fuzzy systems, computational intelligence, and soft computing, highlighting studies on fuzzy & intelligence systems and real complex systems at universities and international research institutions. Covering a range of topics, including the theory and applications of fuzzy set extensions such as intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, spherical fuzzy sets, and fuzzy decision-making; machine learning; risk assessment; heuristics; and clustering, the book is a valuable resource for academics, M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, as well as managers and engineers in industry and the service sectors.
Renewing U.S. Mathematics
As requested by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Interagency Committee for Extramural Mathematics Programs (ICEMAP), this report updates the 1984 Report known as the "David Report." Specifically, the charge directed the committee to (1) update that report, describing the infrastructure and support for U.S. mathematical sciences research; (2) assess trends and progress over the intervening five years against the recommendations of the 1984 Report; (3) briefly assess the field scientifically and identify significant opportunities for research, including cross-disciplinary collaboration; and (4) make appropriate recommendations designed to ensure that U.S. mathematical sciences res...
