In a new America where civilization as we know it has ended, every hour counts. Everything is ticking along perfectly in the sanctuary community of Osto until a band of raiders arrives intent on violence. Vasha has led her people through the worst the world has to offer for years, but this new threat could destroy her hope for the future. She's forced to strike a bargain with the leader of the raiders as tensions rise among the survivors and refugees who call Osto home. Old rivalries and prejudices put everything they've worked for at risk. But if Vasha plays this right, she just might forge a new future for Osto. The Future Second by Second is the first in a series of novellas showcasing a different kind of post-apocalyptic world-one dependent on community and cooperative living. Flipping the genre of dystopia on its head, Newton understands the power of hope and collaboration in the face of an uncertain future.
Red has no memory of her past and no vision of her future. What she does know is that something hunts her- and haunts her- and it is putting everyone she loves in danger. She can only hope to unravel the mystery of her origin in time. But it seems that the truth might be far stranger than anyone ever realized, and she might very well disappear before she finds the strength to confront her enemy. Can Red save all the stories of the world... and still claim the boy she loves?

Mathematics is, in many ways, the most generic and abstract of all systems of human thought. Once Newton found he could describe dynamics and planetary motions using purely mathematical laws and deductive processes, he understood that there was no limit to what else could be explained — given time and ingenuity every aspect of Nature would find its mathematical roots. Newton himself repeatedly stated how aspects of chemistry, biology and even human thought could be accessed by his method. He also acknowledged how immense the task would be, involving many contributors over many centuries, however once the system was in place, it could be extended indefinitely. Although not fully understood during his lifetime, the Newtonian method has since been applied to many subjects outside of physics, including chemistry, physiology and philosophy. This book analyses the Newtonian method and demonstrates how it represents the very roots of our understanding of the great world system we live in today.
Renewable energy enjoys broad popularity as an abstract concept, yet specific cases of industrial renewable energy development consistently encounter local opposition commonly characterized by the phrase `not in my backyard,' or NIMBY. Scholars have recently attempted a broader, more thorough understanding of wind opposition focusing on discursive forms of investigation, but even these efforts are limited by unspoken assumptions of motivation and aim. These attempts have led to a sophisticated understanding of local scale arguments mobilized by wind opponents, but have ignored arguments on other scales. In a case study of Keyser, West Virginia, I discovered a broad range of arguments not included in the scholarly literature. This thesis will investigate arguments on scales including the global, national, regional, local, and individual. I will connect the local scale objections to broader scales through the lenses of landscape and placemaking theory, and I will investigate the emergent discourse of health impacts and Wind Turbine Syndrome through embodiment theory and parallel phenomena.
