Boomerang ; Never Die
In Boomerang, a novel told in vignettes both real and fictive, a father attempting to cope with the tragic murder of his son learns that actions return to haunt or reward. He becomes the embodiment of Hannah's ideal of forbearance, dignity, and decency in the face of incomprehensible death. In Never Die Hannah mingles hilarity and horror as the frontier West is killed off by the onset of automobiles, biplanes, and nitroglycerine bombs. A gallery of grotesque characters - a judges' evil dwarf henchman, a nymphomaniacal schoolteacher, and a homosexual doctor named Fingo - populate this rollicking postmodern novel in which Old West myths collide with the anarchy of the twentieth century.
Hybrid and Real-Time Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Hybrid and Real-Time Systems, HART'97, held in Grenoble, France, in March 1997. The volume presents 18 revised full papers and 9 short presentations carefully selected during a highly competitive evaluation process; also included are full versions or abstracts of 7 invited papers or tutorials. Hybrid Systems consist of digital devices interacting with analog environments; thus the emerging area lies at the crossroads of computer science and control theory. This book focusses on mathematically sound methods for the rigorous and systematic design and analysis of hybrid systems and real-time systems.
A Systematic Approach to Learning Robot Programming with ROS
A Systematic Approach to Learning Robot Programming with ROS provides a comprehensive, introduction to the essential components of ROS through detailed explanations of simple code examples along with the corresponding theory of operation. The book explores the organization of ROS, how to understand ROS packages, how to use ROS tools, how to incorporate existing ROS packages into new applications, and how to develop new packages for robotics and automation. It also facilitates continuing education by preparing the reader to better understand the existing on-line documentation. The book is organized into six parts. It begins with an introduction to ROS foundations, including writing ROS nodes ...
The Clinic
The Clinic By: C.C. Platt About the Book Following their beliefs, Dr. Wyatt Johnson and his nurses open an abortion clinic with a unique secret. They claim to perform late-term, illegal “abortions”, when they actually spirit the fetus away to a specialized incubator of the doctor’s creation. These devices provide all the care and nourishment a woman’s womb would, allowing the fetuses to continue developing, later to be delivered into the arms of couples desperate for a child to love. Women not ready to be mothers are helped, childless couples are happy, and the clinic makes a lot of money. When tragedy strikes the clinic, the crew must make the ultimate decision on whether or not to continue their practice. The Clinic uses a twisted tale of intrigue, mystery, and love to deliver an interesting, unique take on abortion. The author says, “…each and every person out there is going through their own storm like the characters in this book, so try to withhold judgment and see things through the perspective of others before you judge them.”
