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.

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.

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...
Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders, with Desktop Edition
Hyperkinetic movement disorders comprise a range of diseases characterized by unwanted and uncontrollable, or poorly controllable, involuntary movements. The phenomenology of these disorders is quite variable encompassing chorea, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, other dyskinesias, jerks and shakes. Discerning the underlying condition can be very difficult given the range and variability of symptoms. But recognizing the phenomenology and understanding the pathophysiology are essential to ensure appropriate treatment. Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders provides a clinical pathway for effective diagnosis and management of these disorders. The stellar international cast of authors distils the evi...
