Analytical Mechanics
Analytical mechanics is the foundation of many areas of theoretical physics including quantum theory and statistical mechanics, and has wide-ranging applications in engineering and celestial mechanics. This introduction to the basic principles and methods of analytical mechanics covers Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, rigid bodies, small oscillations, canonical transformations and Hamilton–Jacobi theory. This fully up-to-date textbook includes detailed mathematical appendices and addresses a number of advanced topics, some of them of a geometric or topological character. These include Bertrand's theorem, proof that action is least, spontaneous symmetry breakdown, constrained Hamiltonian systems, non-integrability criteria, KAM theory, classical field theory, Lyapunov functions, geometric phases and Poisson manifolds. Providing worked examples, end-of-chapter problems, and discussion of ongoing research in the field, it is suitable for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students studying analytical mechanics.
Lou and Jonbenet
A retired police officer offers insights about the crime scene of a famous child murder case, revealing insider details about the mishandled investigation. On Christmas Night 1996, six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. A ransom note was found in the home, but it was hours before her father, John, found her body in the basement. She had been strangled with a garrote and her skull was fractured. The media sensationalized the tragic death of the “child beauty queen” and public speculation and rumors ran rampant. What followed was one of the most notorious unsolved murder investigations in American history. Boulder police fixated on JonBenet...

Cool Hand Lou
In this candid memoir, actor and director Lou Antonio recounts his five decades in television, film and theater, from live television to Broadway to Emmy-nominated Movies of the Week. Antonio describes with humor and insight the changes in audience tastes and technical developments during his career, and the unforeseen challenges of pursuing a life in the performing arts. Anecdotes abound of his work with Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, George C. Scott, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, and others.
How Things Work
How Things Work provides an accessible introduction to physics for the non-science student. Like the previous editions it employs everyday objects, with which students are familiar, in case studies to explain the most essential physics concepts of day-to-day life. Lou Bloomfield takes seemingly highly complex devices and strips away the complexity to show how at their heart are simple physics ideas. Once these concepts are understood, they can be used to understand the behavior of many devices encountered in everyday life. The sixth edition uses the power of WileyPLUS Learning Space with Orion to give students the opportunity to actively practice the physics concepts presented in this edition. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version. Access to WileyPLUS sold separately.
WestFae
WestFae - A New Young Adult Fantasy Series Lou O’Connor’s soul has been wounded many times over. His father abandoned his mother, who then died giving birth to Lou. The girl he loved married his best friend. He has strange abilities that some might call a gift… but Lou calls a curse because they cost him his true love. And, although he appears a perpetual 17 years old, he has been alive for more than 150 years... without a clue why. Now, decades later in 1882, Lou feels compelled to return to the valley in the Colorado frontier that he’d once called home, but had fled from in grief and betrayal. He doesn't know why he feels so powerfully drawn. But he’s had a strange, recurring dre...
Chaos Engineering
As more companies move toward microservices and other distributed technologies, the complexity of these systems increases. You can't remove the complexity, but through Chaos Engineering you can discover vulnerabilities and prevent outages before they impact your customers. This practical guide shows engineers how to navigate complex systems while optimizing to meet business goals. Two of the field's prominent figures, Casey Rosenthal and Nora Jones, pioneered the discipline while working together at Netflix. In this book, they expound on the what, how, and why of Chaos Engineering while facilitating a conversation from practitioners across industries. Many chapters are written by contributin...
Honor and Grace in Anthropology
This collection of essays develops a line of thought in anthropology which was opened in the 1960s by the editors (and some of the same contributors) in Honor and Shame: The Values of a Mediterranean Society. The essays, half of them historical and half contemporary, deal with different aspects of honour and grace, and the strategies and transactions by which they can be obtained.
Arm and Hand Movement: Current Knowledge and Future Perspective
This Research Topic is devoted to arm and hand movement in health as well as in several disease conditions. It is a collection of several original research papers and reviews, clinical case studies, hypothesis and theory articles, opinions, commentaries, and methods papers that cover some important aspects of the topic from distinct scientific perspectives. We invite the readers to appreciate the range in methodologies and experimental designs that together have led to widen our understanding of this especially broad field of research.
