Randi McCall is at it again! Barely settled back into normal office hours after their last adventure, an urgent phone call changes her day. She is determined and headstrong, as she is flung into the middle of a murder case involving an old friend and sorority sister, Candyce Trenna, nicknamed Candy. Oblivious to the possibility Candy is guilty, Randi strategizes to clear her friend. The case becomes widely challenging when multiple suspects and events appear relevant, causing her to reach out for help from her cousin Russell Taul, the investigator, and her skeptical law partner, her dad. Based in the southern charm of the bluegrass and heart of horse country, they travel from Lexington, Kentucky, to New York City and beautiful Boca Grande, uncovering the most critical evidence in search of answers. Encounters, with old friends and places, give an ongoing uncertainty and widening suspicion. Every clue, every person reveals information, and more questions, as Randi hurries to solve the case before Candy's murder trial begins with an outcome most certainly a conviction.
James ‘The Amazing’ Randi is a stage magician who says he has a million dollars for anyone who can convince him they have psychic powers. No one has even come close to winning, proof, say sceptical scientists, that there is no such thing as ‘the paranormal’. But are they right? In this illuminating and often provocative analysis, Robert McLuhan examines the influence of Randi and other debunking sceptics in shaping scientific opinion about such things as telepathy, psychics, ghosts and near-death experiences. He points out that scientific researchers who investigate these things at first hand overwhelmingly consider them to be genuinely anomalous. But this has shocking implications, ...
Randis Pesky Picnic is about a little girl who goes to the park for a picnic and encounters insects, from Ants to a Zygoptera. Children will enjoy learning from this rhyming story about insects.

The number-one reference on the topic now contains a wealth of new data: The entire relevant literature over the past six years has been painstakingly surveyed, resulting in hundreds of new descriptors being added to the list, and some 3,000 new references in the bibliography section. Volume 1 contains an alphabetical listing of more than 3300 descriptors and related terms for chemoinformatic analysis of chemical compound properties, while the second volume lists over 6,000 references selected from 450 journals. To make the data even more accessible, the introductory section has been completely re-written and now contains several "walk-through" reading lists of selected keywords for novice users.

"Havill's problem-driven approach introduces algorithmic concepts in context and motivates students with a wide range of interests and backgrounds." -- Janet Davis, Associate Professor and Microsoft Chair of Computer Science, Whitman College "This book looks really great and takes exactly the approach I think should be used for a CS 1 course. I think it really fills a need in the textbook landscape." -- Marie desJardins, Dean of the College of Organizational, Computational, and Information Sciences, Simmons University "Discovering Computer Science is a refreshing departure from introductory programming texts, offering students a much more sincere introduction to the breadth and complexity of...
