The Yeti Society
One of the persistent contemporary American myths is of a giant, hairy, human-like beast, or Bigfoot, predominantly haunting the Pacific Northwest rainforest. But it is not a modern myth - it is a very old one. Long before Europeans arrived, indigenous native tribes across the vast continent had as many as one hundred names for it: Sasquatch being one that survives today. This myth intersects with another, thousands of miles away in the remote Himalayas, equally as old: the Yeti.In more recent times, on the highest mountain range in the world, inexplicable tracks in the snow and ice have left modern mountaineers baffled. These giant footprints uncannily echo those found in North America. Despite modernity and the pushback of nature, all attempts to extinguish the myth of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Yeti have failed. It remains a powerful and resilient mystery.
MDDL and the Quest for a Market Data Standard
The aim of this book is to provide an objective vendor independent assessment of the Market Data Definition Language (MDDL), the eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML) standard for market data. Assuming little previous knowledge of the standard, or of systems networking, the book identifies the challenges and significance of the standard, examines the business and market drivers and presents decision makers with a clear, concise and jargon free read. Technical material is set off so that Systems Analysts are provided with an explanation to the standard's business terms, context and deep hierarchical structure thus enabling them to create MDDL compliant interfaces. In this way, the book confers th...

The Yeti Society
This engaging book is both a novella that is an adventure story set in the Himalayas and an allegory of finding the (Masonic) “Word.” It is also an exploration of the significance of mountains. The modern myth of American Big Foot is a bipedal ape-like species that predominantly haunts the Pacific Northwest. However, this so called modern myth is actually far more ancient than many believe it to be. The Native Americans have as many names for it as there are tribes. It is a myth that strangely connects to another, thousands of miles away, that is equally as old as it is modern—the Yeti at the roof of the world, the abominable snowman of the Himalayas. The Yeti Society is about the believers and the witnesses, but it is also about the non-believers and the skeptics.
Signifying Pain
A deeply personal yet universal work, Signifying Pain applies the principles of therapeutic writing to such painful life experiences as mental illness, suicide, racism, domestic abuse, and even genocide. Probing deep into the bedrock of literary imagination, Judith Harris traces the odyssey of a diverse group of writers—John Keats, Derek Walcott, Jane Kenyon, Michael S. Harper, Robert Lowell, and Ai, as well as student writers—who have used their writing to work through and past such personal traumas. Drawing on her own experience as a poet and teacher, Harris shows how the process can be long and arduous, but that when exercised within the spirit of one's own personal compassion, the results can be limitless. Signifying Pain will be of interest not only to teachers of creative and therapeutic writing, but also to those with a critical interest in autobiographical or confessional writing more generally.
Innovation in Small Construction Firms

Findings are contextualised in the broader literature to make them of relevance to policy makers, practitioners and researchers interested in small, project-based firms in general.
Managing Change in Construction Projects
