Troy celebrates the city where 19-year-old Kate Mullaney, an Irish immigrant, organized 200 women for the first all-female labor union (Collar Laundry Union) more than a century ago. It is where Bessemer Steel was first poured in America, and where the plates for the iron-clad ship, the Monitor, were manufactured--an event that lead to a turning point for the Nor...

Measure theory and measure-theoretic probability are fascinating subjects. Proofs describing profound ways to reason lead to results that are frequently startling, beautiful, and useful.

A Ramble through Probability: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Measure Theory brings together the key elements and applications in a unifie...

A tender and funny contemporary young adult follow-up to the highly praised Atty at Law, Atty in Love explores first love and includes an interview with a real-life animal rights lawyer. When feisty 13 year old Atticus Peale meets a mysterious boy in her Alabama town, she has to make a tough choice between her values as an activist and her first real love. Atticus T.

Having already been to court to save her do...

From the barren Mars landscape to the northwoods of America. Seven terrifying tales. One collection.
Second Nurture
Fourteen-year-old Duff Rafferty, an only child from St. Paul, MN looses his parents to an accident, and flown to Washington, D.C. to be cared for by relatives, only to be apprehended by airport security when the relatives fail to show up. After a day of being shuffled by law enforcement and child welfare services, Duff is placed in a small home in a fictional community outside the Washington area with two mean women, and becomes a prisoner in the basement bedroom. Friends and relations back home do not know where he is, or what happened to him. He cannot phone nor write to anyone, nor does he have access to a computer to send email. During the next several months of grief, fear, and isolation, Duff is subject to bullying in his new school, and frequent scolding by the two women in their home. However, an unraveling chain of events changes the atmosphere in the home, and Duff is overwhelmed by the weight that is suddenly lifted off his shoulders.
The Red
Lieutenant James Shelley commands a high-tech squad of soldiers in a rural district within the African Sahel. They hunt insurgents each night on a harrowing patrol, guided by three simple goals: protect civilians, kill the enemy, and stay alive. In a for-profit war manufactured by the defense industry there can be no cause worth dying for. To keep his soldiers safe, Shelley uses every high-tech asset available to him, but his best weapon is a flawless sense of imminent danger as if God is with him, whispering warnings in his ear.
Atty at Law
Introducing Atticus Peale! A debut middle-grade novel featuring a savvy sleuthing heroine sends a powerful message about standing up for others.

Her father named her after his favorite character, a lawyer in a famous book, but everyone calls her Atty, and no one, except her dad, stepmom, and stepbrother, thinks she's old enough to make a legal case for those who, as Atty points out, can't speak up for themselves. She's learning some law basics from her dad, who is defending an illiterate man in town on a murder ch...
