Woke Capitalism
This book delves into the corporate takeover of public morality, or ‘woke capitalism’. Discussing the political causes that it has adopted, and the social causes that it has not, it argues that this extension of capitalism has negative implications for democracy’s future.
Dungeon Crawler Carl
The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition. You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what. Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show. Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not. Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”
Basket Case
Once a hotshot investigative reporter, Jack Tagger now bangs out obituaries for a South Florida daily, "plotting to resurrect my newspaper career by yoking my byline to some famous stiff." Jimmy Stoma, the infamous front man of Jimmy and the Slut Puppies, dead in a fishy-smelling scuba "accident," might be the stiff of Jack's dreams--if only he can figure out what happened. Standing in the way are (among others) his ambitious young editor, who hasn't yet fired anyone but plans to "break her cherry" on Jack; the rock star's pop-singer widow, who's using the occasion of her husband's death to re-launch her own career; and the soulless, profit-hungry owner of the newspaper, whom Jack once publicly humiliated at a stockholders' meeting. With clues from the dead rock singer's music, Jack ultimately unravels Jimmy Stoma's strange fate--in a hilariously hard-won triumph for muckraking journalism, and for the death-obsessed obituary writer himself. "Always be halfway prepared" is Jack Tagger's motto--and it's more than enough to guarantee a wickedly funny, brilliantly entertaining novel from Carl Hiaasen.
Squeeze Me
“If you could use some wild escapism right now, Hiaasen is your guy.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times From the author of Skinny Dip and Razor Girl, a hilarious, New York Times best-selling novel of social and political intrigues, set against the glittering backdrop of Florida’s gold coast. It's the height of the Palm Beach charity ball season: for every disease or cause, there's a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when a prominent high-society dowager suddenly vanishes during a swank gala, and is later found dead in a concrete grave, panic and chaos erupt. Kiki Pew was notable not just for her wealth and her jewels--she was an a...

The Perfectly Coupled and Shunt-augmented T Two-port
A new two-port structure, referred to as a 'Perfectly Coupled and Shunt-Augmented T', is defined and its properties are described. The classical Brune two-port can be recognized as a particular example of this general class of two-ports. There are three feasible types (A, B, and C) of perfectly coupled and shuntaugmented T's. A tandem of two matched T's of type AC or BC is equivalent to a lattice two-port. Suitable impedances can be transposed from one port to the other over the T whereby only the magnitudes of its elements are changed. The dual of this T is the 'Perfectly Coupled and Series-Augmented Pi'. The discussion of these new kinds of two-ports is supplemented by ten numerical examples. (Author).

Waveforms and Relative Phase Stability of Transients Radiated from a Helicopter-supported Antenna Wire
A nearly vertical antenna wire varying in length from 3000 to 8000 ft was shock-excited by a high-voltage source. The resulting radiation fields were received at distances of about 600 km by two stations separated laterally so as to subtend an angle of about 15© at the source. The difference in wavefront arrival times at the two stations, observed for 101 transmissions, showed an average absolute deviation from the mean of about only 1/2 [mu]s. This figure includes the effects of possible source asymmetries, sferics noise, instrumental errors, and wave propagation. Typical oscillograms of antenna currents and radiation fields are given. It is shown that the amplitudes and durations of the pulse envelopes, the amplitudes and durations of the first half-cycles, and the quasi-frequencies of the pulses are in good agreement with a theory that takes energy losses into account.
