The Neanderthals Rediscovered
For too long the Neanderthals have been seen as evolutionary dead-ends but advances in DNA technologies have forced a reassessment of their place in our own past. This extensively illustrated book looks at the Neanderthals from their evolution in Europe to their expansion to Siberia and their subsequent extinction. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behaviour was surprisingly modern so what caused their extinction? This is one of many mysteries that we are closer to solving. They evolved in Europe in parallel to the Homo Sapiens line evolving in Africa. When both species made their first moves into Asia, the Neanderthals may even have had the upper hand. The superiority of Homo sapiens suddenly seems less obvious or inevitable.
EMS by Fire
Firefighter, medic and author Michael Morse bares his soul with first-person accounts from a 25-year career vividly defining the first responder’s vital role as a medical professional. EMS by Fire: The Making of a Fire Medic puts the reader at the scene “where people desperately wait, frantic, impatient, lonely, dying or dead ... the public we serve is not interested in who arrives at their emergency, as long somebody comes, preferably well trained and well equipped.” “Writing for and about firefighters and EMS personnel from the ambulance officer’s seat is tricky on the good days, career suicide on the bad, and quite gratifying on the rest. “The truth is that the ratio of misery to inspiration is greatly exaggerated in my writings, with misery beating inspiration by a 20-1 margin. Yet, it is those moments of inspiration that make the misery bearable ...” Features: Gain a better understanding of the jobs of fire-based EMS personnel Improve your skills and build teamwork between firefighters and EMS True stories and real-life scenarios from a veteran of the EMS and Fire service
Fireproof
Skilled lawyers who open their own firms can quickly find their dream career turning into a nightmare. When the firm doesn't grow as fast as you expected, the money doesn't come like you'd hoped despite working long hours, and your less-capable peers are passing you by, it can be demoralizing and deeply frustrating. Mike Morse has been there. Th.
Void and Compensation
Poetry. "In this debut from a grownup poet, heartfelt scenes are filmed by a jittery cameraman, making for a moving read that will appeal to those who don't take their poetry quite straight, who want to be led, like 'wayward bees to open windows.'" Craig Morgan Teicher for National Public Radio "There is a keen and seamless craftsmanship in Michael Morse's poems, which are beautifully understated and distinctly well made. They are quiet, but they have dark undertows, and I find some of them heartbreaking. There is real quality and depth in the poetry of this gifted and caring poet." Edward Hirsch "Morse's astonishing centerpiece poem '(Poem as Aporia Between Lighthouses)' establishes him as ...
How the Celts Came to Britain
This book reveals how the Celts came to Britain in the sense of how the term 'Celtic' first became associated with the British Isles in the eighteenth century and then gradually took on its modern popular meaning towards the end of the nineteenth. The role of the druids and the importance of craniology in this process is emphasised.
Give a F**k:
"It really cuts through the honey glaze of self-help and hits you right where you need it." — Holly Bourne, author of How Do You Like Me Now? In a world that values autonomy, it's challenging to think that you could arrive at your destination with the help and companionship of other people. The root of this transformative concept is the essential human trait of caring — also known as giving a f**k. Journalist and life coach Felicity Morse shows how caring can transform lives on both small and large scales. In funny, wise prose, she discusses how to nail self-love, embrace the idea that we are all connected, and cultivate compassion for the wider world. So don't give up — give a f**k! "...
Morse Theory and Floer Homology
This book is an introduction to modern methods of symplectic topology. It is devoted to explaining the solution of an important problem originating from classical mechanics: the 'Arnold conjecture', which asserts that the number of 1-periodic trajectories of a non-degenerate Hamiltonian system is bounded below by the dimension of the homology of the underlying manifold. The first part is a thorough introduction to Morse theory, a fundamental tool of differential topology. It defines the Morse complex and the Morse homology, and develops some of their applications. Morse homology also serves a simple model for Floer homology, which is covered in the second part. Floer homology is an infinite-...
Rescuing Providence
Former EMT and firefighter Michael Morse takes you along for the ride as he and his fellow officers respond to 24 emergency calls in a 34-hour period. Rescuing Providence is a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of the people who do a critical job that is often dangerous, sometimes thankless, but ultimately rewarding.
All-New Baseball Brainteasers
Was a run ever scored that went unnoticed by everyone on both teams--and the official scorer, too? Can a runner from first base be tagged out stealing second when the batter is walked? Fans of the Great American Pastime want to know! This second edition of Baseball Brain Teasers features 60 challenging rules situations that occurred in real-life Major League games, with each incident broken into three parts. First comes the problem, with all the basic details; then a description of the actual game where the play happened; and finally an explanation of the correct call. Readers can just enjoy the entertaining stories--or the baseball-savvy can test their knowledge and see if they're smarter than the professionals who were actually involved.
