Summary of Leanna Renee Hieber & Andrea Janes's A Haunted History of Invisible Women
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world. The spirits who are stopped in time retain their youth, mystery, and beauty. They may also still hold their pain, eternally. #2 The death of a beautiful woman is the most poetical topic in the world.

Boroughs of the Dead
"Like the best of the pulps, the narratives are creepy, darkly comical and elegantly composed, with lovingly detailed descriptions of place and an ample whiff of lurid decay." - Fangoria BOROUGHS OF THE DEAD is a collection of ten short horror stories set in and around New York City. Beneath its modern facade, New York City teems with dark secrets, faded spirits, and unnameable horrors. BOROUGHS OF THE DEAD weaves fact and myth, fiction and legend to tell ten of the most terrifying tales of the haunted metropolis. A medical doctor abandons all rationality when he falls in love with the spirit of a murdered woman. The nightmares of an adolescent boy come to life and stalk him to the deadly, polluted waters of Newtown Creek. A cholera demon wipes out the thieves and murderers of the Five Points. From ghost stories to zombie narratives to weird tales, BOROUGHS OF THE DEAD contains evils as diverse as Gotham itself.
Agile Processes, in Software Engineering, and Extreme Programming
This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Agile Software Development, XP 2016, held in Edinburgh, UK, in May 2016. While agile development has already become mainstream in industry, this field is still constantly evolving and continues to spur an enormous interest both in industry and academia. To this end, the XP conference attracts a large number of software practitioners and researchers, providing a rare opportunity for interaction between the two communities. The 14 full papers accepted for XP 2016 were selected from 42 submissions. Additionally, 11 experience reports (from 25 submissions) 5 empirical studies (out of 12 submitted) and 5 doctoral papers (from 6 papers submitted) were selected, and in each case the authors were shepherded by an experienced researcher. Generally, all of the submitted papers went through a rigorous peer-review process.

From the notorious Lizzie Borden to the innumerable, haunted rooms of Sarah Winchester's mysterious mansion this offbeat, insightful, first-ever book of its kind explores the history behind America’s female ghosts, the stereotypes, myths, and paranormal tales that swirl around them, what their stories reveal about us—and why they haunt us . . . Sorrowful widows, vengeful jezebels, innocent maidens, wronged lovers, former slaves, even the occasional axe-murderess—America’s female ghosts differ widely in background, class, and circumstance.

Software Engineering and Formal Methods
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2017, held in Trento, Italy, in September 2017. The 17 full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. The papers deal with a large range of topics in the following research areas: new frontiers in software architecture; software verification and testing; software development methods; application and technology transfer; security and safety; and design principles.
Synergies Between Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering
This book compiles a number of contributions originating from the KESE (Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering) workshop series from 2005 to 2015. The idea behind the series was the realignment of the knowledge engineering discipline and its strong relation to software engineering, as well as to the classical aspects of artificial intelligence research. The book introduces symbiotic work combining these disciplines, such as aspect-oriented and agile engineering, using anti-patterns, and system refinement. Furthermore, it presents successful applications from different areas that were created by combining techniques from both areas.
