The Face of the Deep
In The Face of the Deep, a series of brutal rape/murders puts Akron police detective Robert Fontenot and his beautiful partner, Lauren Reynolds, on the trail of a vicious and powerful killer carefully selecting his victims to satisfy his lust for dominance. As the killer’s plot is revealed, Fontenot finds that he must not only match wits with a murderer as clever as he is maniacal but also come to terms with his past, which eerily parallels that of the killer.
Science and Technology in World History, Volume 1
Science is a living, organic activity, the meaning and understanding of which have evolved incrementally over human history. This book, the first in a roughly chronological series, explores the development of the methodology and major ideas of science, in historical context, from ancient times to the decline of classical civilizations around 300 A.D.

It closely describes the contributions of such individuals as Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Euclid, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Seneca, Pliny the Elder, and Galen.

The Roots of Resilience
In The Roots of Resilience Meredith L. Weiss examines governance from the ground up in the world's two most enduring electoral authoritarian or "hybrid" regimes—Singapore and Malaysia—where politically liberal and authoritarian features blend, evading substantive democracy. Weiss explains that while key attributes of these regimes differ, affecting the scope, character, and balance among national parties and policies, local machines, and personalized linkages, the similarity in the overall patterns in these countries confirms the salience of those dimensions. The Roots of Resilience shows that high levels of authoritarian acculturation, amplifying the political payoffs of what parties and politicians actually provide their constituents, explain why electoral turnover alone is insufficient for real regime change in either state.
