The Anatomy of the Swipe
Have you ever wondered what happens during a swipe of a credit card? Every major tech company will become a payments company. Yet, not many people understand how payment systems in the US work. Those that do "get it" are unlocking multi-billion dollar opportunities. If you've ever wondered what happens when you actually swipe/dip/tap your credit card or debit card then The Anatomy of the Swipe breaks down the details in the simplest manner possible. Here are some questions answered within these pages: How does money move from my credit card to my favorite coffee shop? How can I build a neo-bank? How can I build my own debit or credit card? How can I accept card based payments? The Anatomy of the Swipe speaks to software developers and entrepreneurs who are looking at implementing card-based payments for the first time, merchants who want to be able to accept payments for a website or store, or those who want to issue their own debit/credit card. This book walks beginners through modern innovations created because of card-based payments, as well as the motivations and revenue models of each party in the payments ecosystem.
LRFD Steel Design Aids, 4th Edition
After the publication of the third edition of this book, new AISC Specification was released in 2010 that contains combined provisions for ASD and ARFD methods and formulas in non-dimensional format to be used both for the FPS and the SI units. This fourth edition is prepared after revising the original book in the light of the new Specification of AISC 2016. The book contains tables required for the 345 Grade Steel and BS sections. The author is highly thankful to all the engineers and students who have participated in the improvement of this book through their questions and queries. As before, the detailed design procedure of the steel structures is explained in a separate book titled “Steel Structures” which frequently refers to this book for the properties tables and the design aids. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be highly appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.

The Killing Field Known as Hospice
My companion was forced out of Medicare and into Hospice at the age of 67 without a terminal illness and without his permission just because he had suffered a stroke. He was involuntarily euthanized 49 days later with lethal doses of opioids. I've since discovered this is happening across the U.S. since doctors and hospitals are complaining that Medicare isn't paying them enough to cure old people's ailments. Hospice corporations are thriving from discarded old people and appear to be immune from prosecution of causing the deaths of old people without terminal illnesses.
People Without History
The West has become obsessed with Muslims, constantly classifying them as either "moderate" or "extreme." Reacting against this dehumanizing tendency, Jeremy Seabrook and Imran Ahmed Siddiqui show us the daily life of poor Muslims in India and sheds light on what lies behind India’s "economic miracle." The authors examines life in Muslim communities in Kolkata, home to some of the most disadvantaged people in India, giving a voice to their views, values and feelings. We see that Muslims are no different from those of other faiths -- work, family and survival are the overwhelming preoccupations of the vast majority. Although most are observant in their religion, there is no trace of the malevolence or poverty-fuelled extremism attributed to them. This enlightening and elegantly written book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of development and anyone who wants a more realistic picture of Muslim life and modern India.

All persons who contributed in this regard are greatly acknowledged. Suggestions for further improvement of the presentation will be appreciated and will be incorporated in the future editions.
Wanted Women
The author of Emma’s War offers a compelling account of the link between Muslim women’s rights, Islamist opposition to the West, and the Global War on Terror. Wanted Women explores the experiences of two fascinating female champions from opposing sides of the conflict: Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali and neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui. With Emma’s War: An Aid Worker, A Warlord, Radical Islam and the Politics of Oil, journalist Deborah Scroggins achieved major international acclaim; now, in Wanted Women, Scroggins again exposes a crucial untold story from the center of an ongoing ideological war—laying bare the sexual and cultural stereotypes embraced by both sides of a conflict that threatens to engulf the world.
