EVEN IN WAR, THERE IS A LINE BETWEEN KILLING AND MURDER. In the United States Army, soldiers are subject to both the laws of the land and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. When either is broken, the case is turned over to a specialized team of detectives whose sole mission is to find the guilty—no matter where the case takes them. They are the C.I.D.... CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DETACHMENT Years ago, Major Bobby Samuels was a legend in Special Forces and a member of Delta Force—until his beautiful, young wife was killed by a drunk driver. Then he gave up his commission to become a civilian police officer, where his never-say-die methods made him one of the most dependable cops on the fo...
A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research is a complete how-to manual on starting an undergraduate research program. Readers will find advice on setting appropriate problems, directing student progress, managing group dynamics, obtaining external funding, publishing student results, and a myriad of other relevant issues. The authors have decades of experience and have accumulated knowledge that other mathematicians will find extremely useful.
This book is based on talks presented at the Summer School on Interactions between Homotopy theory and Algebra held at the University of Chicago in the summer of 2004. The goal of this book is to create a resource for background and for current directions of research related to deep connections between homotopy theory and algebra, including algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and representation theory. The articles in this book are aimed at the audience of beginning researchers with varied mathematical backgrounds and have been written with both the quality of exposition and the accessibility to novices in mind.
Well-written and engaging, this hands-on approach features many exercises to be completed by readers. Topics include knot definition and equivalence, combinatorial and algebraic invariants, unknotting operations, and virtual knots. 2016 edition.
Reading the West Longlist for Nonfiction Childbirth defines families, communities, and nations. In Birthing the West, Jennifer J. Hill fills the silences around historical reproduction with copious new evidence and an enticing narrative, describing a process of settlement in the American West that depended on the nurturing connections of reproductive caregivers and the authority of mothers over birth. Economic and cultural development depended on childbirth. Hill’s expanded vision suggests that the mantra of cattle drives and military campaigns leaves out essential events and falls far short of an accurate representation of American expansion. The picture that emerges in Birthing the West ...

Aspiring and Inspiring is a collection of essays from successful women and gender minority mathematicians on what it takes to build a career in mathematics. The individual essays are intended to advise, encourage, and inspire mathematicians throughout different stages of their careers. Themes emerge as these prominent individuals describe how they managed to persist and rise to positions of leadership in a field which can still be forbidding to many. We read, repeatedly, that individual mentorship matters, that networks of support can be critical, and that finding fulfillment can mean formulating one's own definition of success. Those who aspire to leadership in the field will find much usef...
