The Origins of Modern Humans
This update to the award-winning The Origins of Modern Humans: A World Survey of the Fossil Evidence covers the most accepted common theories concerning the emergence of modern Homo sapiens adding fresh insight from top young scholars on the key new discoveries of the past 25 years. The Origins of Modern Humans: Biology Reconsidered allows field leaders to discuss and assess the assemblage of hominid fossil material in each region of the world during the Pleistocene epoch. It features new fossil and molecular evidence, such as the evolutionary inferences drawn from assessments of modern humans and large segments of the Neandertal genome. It also addresses the impact of digital imagery and th...

Ice
Ice. When melted into water, all life depends on it. Everyone needs this highly valued compound, and some are willing to do anything to get it. Sixteen-year-old Mark Olson is an engineering apprentice on his family’s Rover ship, Start Over. Together, they live in the asteroid belt and search for ice—a precious resource that means survival, and profit, for anyone who can acquire it. When a giant piece of the family’s last haul breaks off, Mark volunteers to camp out on the frozen chunk of comet to ensure it isn’t nabbed by greedy pirates. The catch? He must stay there for a whole month, completely alone and with dwindling supplies. Mark just wants to be useful to his family, but as his mission becomes riddled by equipment failures and technical hiccups, he learns that his greatest nemesis is one he hadn’t expected: loneliness. But Mark isn’t as alone as he thought, and the company is far from polite. Pirates are on their way, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want, even if it means leaving Mark for dead before his family can return to save him.
Farmers at the Frontier
All farming in prehistoric Europe ultimately came from elsewhere in one way or another, unlike the growing numbers of primary centers of domestication and agricultural origins worldwide. This fact affects every aspect of our understanding of the start of farming on the continent because it means that ultimately, domesticated plants and animals came from somewhere else, and from someone else. In an area as vast as Europe, the process by which food production becomes the predominant subsistence strategy is of course highly variable, but in a sense the outcome is the same, and has the potential for addressing more large-scale questions regarding agricultural origins. Therefore, a detailed under...
Handbook on Synchrotron Radiation
Volume 2 of this series concentrates on the use of synchrotron radiation which covers that region of the electromagnetic spectrum which extends from about 10eV to 3keV in photon energy and is essentially the region where the radiation is strongly absorbed by atmospheric gases. It therefore has to make extensive use of a high vacuum to transport the radiation to the workstation where the presence of hard X-rays can cause extensive damage to both the optics and the targets used in the experimental rigs. The topics chosen for this volume have been limited to the disciplines of physics and chemistry.
High Orbit Hero
Station One is the first space station built for civilian habitation, orbiting Earth and housing its inhabitants in safety. Sixteen-year-old Geoff Anders lives among the many occupants; in order to fit in, he makes the mistake of joining a gang known as the Taurids. He builds a circle of friends, and together they have fun wreaking havoc wherever they can. But when Geoff decides he wants out, his leader finds a way to keep him in line. Chin Ho sets his sights on Geoffs little sister, Barbara, threatening to set her up as a prostitute if Geoff doesnt toe the line. In order to keep this from happening, Geoff finds himself the victim of blackmail. To save his sister, he must participate in a da...
C-Surfer
Private Cory Reddick is haunted by his past. As a teenager, he had a different name: Geoff Anders. Back then, he testified against a vicious gang, and his family was hidden by the witness protection program. Now armed with a new name and superior reflexes, Cory starts over with Sol System Defense. Their newest ship, c-Surfer, needs his talents. The c-Surfer test flight program is in trouble. The spaceship is beautiful, but it has its share of problems. Corys extraordinary reflexes could be the answer to saving c-Surfer, but his past may be catching up with him. The trouble he had with the gangs on Station One now threatens his friends, his family, and his crew. Vengeful gang members will stop at nothing to get to him, including sabotaging his ship and murdering the people he loves most. It might be in his best interest to leave in order to protect his friendsbut doing so could mean the end of c-Surfer. Either way, Corys decision will have repercussions, and the consequences could be deadly.
