Sophie Andrews's life is rather routine. She fights with her twin sister, Alyssa, she still lives with her parents, and she isn't sure where the relationship with her boyfriend is going. But everything changes one night when an intruder breaks into her home. Sophie wakes up and finds a masked man pinning her down, and she is raped. It's only at the hospital that she realizes that while she survived the ordeal, her parents-as well as her rapist-did not. Hospital staff members ask Sophie if she wants a pill to ensure that she won't have a baby, but as a strong Christian she refuses because she believes that would be murder. She later finds out that she is indeed pregnant. Sophie struggles to recover from the rape and death of her parents. She accepts a job taking care of the sister-in-law of her boss. Meanwhile, she keeps receiving letters from a stalker expressing glee that she was left pregnant from the attack. In From Zero, Sophie must now contend with small-town gossip, overcome the trauma of a rape, and solve the mystery of who could be her tormenter.

The COVID-19 pandemic provides an illustration of how chaotic changes to large systems are caused by small, seemingly insignificant environmental events such as the initial case(s) of COVID-19 in China. From this small starting point for the pandemic, there have been (and continue to be) millions of lives lost and trillions of dollars spent trying to alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. World government and corporate leaders are striving to deal with this pandemic, but uncertainty is felt across the globe.

Behavior and Culture in One Dimension adopts a broad interdisciplinary approach, presenting a unified theory of sequences and their functions and an overview of how they underpin the evolution of complexity. Sequences of DNA guide the functioning of the living world, sequences of speech and writing choreograph the intricacies of human culture, and sequences of code oversee the operation of our literate technological civilization. These linear patterns function under their own rules, which have never been fully explored. It is time for them to get their due. This book explores the one-dimensional sequences that orchestrate the structure and behavior of our three-dimensional habitat. Using Gib...
