The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins, Fiction, Classics, Mystery & Detective, Women Sleuths
Valeria Woodville is one of English literature's earliest women detectives--that makes the novel historically remarkable. But it's also a great fun mystery, full of plot and circumstance, and a rogue's gallery of odd Dickensian characters. "The Law and the Lady" is as remarkable a novel today as it was when it was first published in 1875.
The Crocodile and Other Tales
"The Crocodile" is a wickedly ironic "true story" of a gentleman swallowed alive by a crocodile on display at the Arcade. Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) is known for his exploration of the human dark side of the psyche, but this collection shows he is equally adept at sarcastic and absurdist commentary.
Jonny Punkinhead
According to "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction" Miscellany, "Kristine Kathryn Rusch even had one issue of F&SF, June 1996, announced as the 'New Writer Issue, ' in which 7 of its stories, all the fiction pieces, were either first sales or first published stories." "Jonny Punkinhead," which appeared in that issue, was Amy Sterling Casil's first professional science fiction and/or fantasy short fiction sale. It was not her first professional fiction sale, nor first published story, but rather first professional "Science Fiction Sale." "Jonny Punkinhead" tells the story of Dr. Hedrick Arlan, who is in charge of the Southern California Sherman Institute for Differently-Abled Children, and how hard it is for Dr. Arlan to balance his professional life, family, and trying to cope with the unwanted children who are victims of Human Mutational Virus or "freaks" like Jonny. "Jonny Punkinhead" is a prequel to "Chromosome Circus," which appeared in a later issue of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction featuring the little wolf girl Gyla, all grown up. The same characters also appear in Amy Casil's first novel "Imago."
Digital Forensics: Investigating Data
Digital forensics, also known as "computer forensics," is one of the fastest-growing professional fields in the world. Experts who can protect the computer systems and mobile devices of companies, individuals, and government organizations are in high demand. Digital forensics experts can, and do, solve crimes using digital evidence they find on cell phones, computers, and on the Internet. From stopping the theft of personal information to protecting children from Internet predators, digital forensics experts work to safeguard the public and prevent crime. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are already contributing to cyber safety and offer more crime-prevention potential in the future, from real-life robocops to facial recognition technology that might allow you to buy groceries with a glance to verify who you are.
Clothing and Fashion
We express our taste and personality through the clothes we wear, how we style our hair, and how we groom ourselves. Style is individual, and it can be eternal, appealing to people throughout centuries. Fashion today means the international industry of clothing designers, manufacturers, retailers and influencers who present styles of clothing we can choose to wear--or not. From simple loincloths, which are still worn by indigenous people in the Amazon in South America and highlands of tropical Papua New Guinea, to the latest fashions on the runway at Fashion Weeks in Paris, London, Milan and New York, clothing represents personal taste and practical needs--and the way we see ourselves. Clothing can conceal and it can reveal. This book explores fashion as an art form that combines technology, artistry and imagination. It can tell stories that we want to hear or show us new visions that stir our imagination.
Without Absolution
"Without Absolution" is the first collection from science-fiction and fantasy writer Amy Sterling Casil. It contains nine stories and four poems in which a new disease causes birth defects; a father clones himself; and a lonely man uploads the personalities of his former wife and his mother, creating a horrifying "motherwife".
The Song of Hiawatha
Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" is deservedly a classic, beautiful as it breathtaking. For those who haven't read it before, they're in for an experience that humbles any ability to describe it.
Fentanyl
Fentanyl was developed as a drug that could relieve severe pain and assist doctors in performing complex surgeries. Due to its potent effects, fentanyl is often sold illegally as an ingredient in counterfeit opioid pills or mixed with heroin or cocaine. Because it is nearly impossible to gauge the strength of illegal fentanyl doses, tens of thousands of Americans have overdosed on the drug in recent years. This book provides information about the effects of fentanyl and how it contributes to the ongoing opioid crisis. Opioids are psychoactive drugs derived from the opium poppy, such as heroin or morphine, or synthetic versions that mimic their effects, such as fentanyl or oxycodone. The series Opioid Education: Devastation and the Grip on Society examines various aspects of opioid use and treatment in the United States and the rest of the world. The purpose of this series is to provide young readers with a greater understanding of the ongoing opioid crisis.
