Floating Off the Page
On any given day, millions of Wall Street Journal readers put aside the serious business and economic news of the day to focus first on the paper's middle column (a.k.a. the A-hed), a virtual sound-bubble for light literary fare -- a short story, a tall tale, an old yarn, a series of vignettes, and other unexpected delights that seem to "float off the page." In this first-ever compendium of middle-column pieces, you'll find an eclectic selection of writings, from the outlandish to the oddly enlightening. Read about: • one man's attempt to translate the Bible into Klingon • sheep orthodontics, pet-freezing, and toad-smoking • being hip in Cairo, modeling at auto shows, piano-throwing • the fate of mail destined for the World Trade Center after 9/11 • the plight of oiled otters in Prince William Sound ...and much, much more. Edited by 20-year Journal veteran Ken Wells, and with a foreword by Liar's Poker author Michael Lewis, Floating Off the Page is the perfect elixir for fans of innovative prose in all its forms and function.

Unbreakable
Life is bizarre. What makes it meaningful is not floating along the smooth seas, but being able to look back and say I weathered the rough ones. Unfortunately, only after people have gone through devastating storms do they realize how tragedy can indeed turn into transformation. When you are caught in major upheaval, though, all hope seems lost, all advice forlorn. In those moments, you yearn for a lifeline that keeps you above water. In this book, Nico Menzel offers an instruction manual for anybody that is experiencing such hardship in their life, outlining practical strategies to get through the storm and prepare for the new course. His insights stem from his own experiences, are rooted in ancient wisdom, and backed up by modern science to show you that there may be a golden sky waiting. Health, the quality of our lives, comes down to our ability to process and deal with pain - and with the right tools, you can even grow from it.
Chance Discovery
Chance discovery means discovering chances - the breaking points in systems, the marketing windows in business, etc. It involves determining the significance of some piece of information about an event and then using this new knowledge in decision making. The techniques developed combine data mining methods for finding rare but important events with knowledge management, groupware, and social psychology. The reader will find many applications, such as finding information on the Internet, recognizing changes in customer behavior, detecting the first signs of an imminent earthquake, etc. This first book dedicated to chance discovery covers the state of the art in the theory and methods and examines typical scenarios, and it thus appeals to researchers working on new techniques and algorithms and also to professionals dealing with real-world applications.
