Find Me Unafraid
Find Me Unafraid tells the uncommon love story between two uncommon people whose collaboration sparked a successful movement to transform the lives of vulnerable girls and the urban poor. With a Foreword by Nicholas Kristof.

Confusion de Confusiones [1688]
This book is the first that describes the practices of any stock exchange; it makes evident a high development of practices, with puts, calls, pools, and manipulations; and it appeared as early as the seventeenth century. Not inappropriately the stock exchange described is that of Amsterdam, a city which at the date of the volume’s publication —1688 — was still the leading financial center of the world. The book, to be sure, is hardly a systematic account of the institution; the author pursued moral, philosophical, and rhetorical objectives, and, while saying a lot that seems now to be of little value, manages somehow to leave unsaid a great deal that would be of interest for us. Nevertheless, it represents, even in its peculiar form, a really important source of information about the stock exchange, and indeed about the Dutch business world of that period.
Kinomics
Authored by the world's leading kinase experts, this is a comprehensive introduction to current knowledge and practice within this emerging field. Following an overview of the major players and pathways that define the kinome, the major part of this work is devoted to current strategies of kinome investigation and manipulation. As such, kinase engineering, peptide substrate engineering, co-substrate design and kinase inhibitor design are discussed in detail, and their potential applications in kinome analysis and kinome-based pharmacotherapy are shown. The result is a toolbox for every kinase researcher: By addressing and comparing current approaches to the study of kinase action, both novice and established researchers will benefit from the practical knowledge contained in this invaluable reference.
Recent Advances in Internet of Things and Machine Learning
This book covers a domain that is significantly impacted by the growth of soft computing. Internet of Things (IoT)-related applications are gaining much attention with more and more devices which are getting connected, and they become the potential components of some smart applications. Thus, a global enthusiasm has sparked over various domains such as health, agriculture, energy, security, and retail. So, in this book, the main objective is to capture this multifaceted nature of IoT and machine learning in one single place. According to the contribution of each chapter, the book also provides a future direction for IoT and machine learning research. The objectives of this book are to identify different issues, suggest feasible solutions to those identified issues, and enable researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to interact with each other regarding emerging technologies related to IoT and machine learning. In this book, we look for novel chapters that recommend new methodologies, recent advancement, system architectures, and other solutions to prevail over the limitations of IoT and machine learning.
