While theoretical particle physics is an extraordinarily fascinating field, the incredibly fast pace at which it moves along, combined with the huge amount of background information necessary to perform cutting edge research, poses a formidable challenge for graduate students. This book represents the first in a series designed to assist students in the process of transitioning from coursework to research in particle physics. Rather than reading literally dozens of physics and mathematics texts, trying to assimilate the countless ideas, translate notations and perspectives, and see how it all fits together to get a holistic understanding, this series provides a detailed overview of the major...
It takes one great mind to create the greatest weapon, but one even greater to become its host. This weaponised technology allows one man above all, to become indestructible, due to an extremely rare and virtually unheard of ability to control the beat of his heart, however terrifying or adrenaline-fuelled any given situation, forcing his brain to operate beyond intelligence, making a super computer appear as a childs toy.

"The second edition of Race, Ethnicity, Crime, and Justice presents the latest research on studies of race, ethnicity, and justice practices at the juvenile and adult levels. With a focus on intersectionality, the text shows how these extralegal factors interact with others to help understand outcomes such as disparities in excessive use of force by the police and court sentencing, as well as disproportionate minority confinement in corrections. Designed to be brief yet thorough, the text covers the most important issues related to race and ethnicity as they pertain to the law, crime and delinquency, policing, courts, and corrections. Race, Ethnicity, Crime, and Justice is highly readable and classroom friendly while also making a meaningful contribution to the literature on the topic"--
The Horse Latitudes follows one Cavalry platoon's time in Baghdad, Iraq. The missions are long stretches of boredom broken by flashes of violence. A single sniper shot fired. An IED loosely buried in the roadside, waiting. A schoolyard of kids throwing fist-sized rocks at gun trucks. The downtime is a combination of homesickness, RPGs, and mortar fire. The Horse Latitudes observes not only firefights and their aftermath, but also the soldiers' struggles within themselves: how to fight a faceless enemy, what it means to serve, how one soldiers, what makes a man, what makes a good man, what it might mean to die for this, and what it might mean not to.
