"A lone Jesuit Priest, Father Dominic Lindquist, a spy for the most powerful and feared Secret Society on Earth, has gone rogue to unravel a conspiracy to bring about Armageddon. ... A fanatic cabal within the Church has aided former Nazis in the creation of an advanced DNA-SPECIFIC "GENE-BOMB." With it, Hitler''s ultimate dream can finally be realized: The Mass Extermination of the Jewish Race"--Page 4 of cover

How did one of the great inventions of the nineteenth century—Thomas Edison''s phonograph—eventually lead to one of the most culturally and economically significant technologies of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries? Sound Recording traces the history of the business boom and the cultural revolution that Edison''s invention made possible. Recorded sound has pervaded nearly every facet of modern life—not just popular music, but also mundane office dictation machines, radio and television programs, and even telephone answering machines. Just as styles of music have evolved, so too have the formats through which sound has been captured—from 78s to LPs, LPs to cassette tapes, tapes to CDs, and on to electronic formats. The quest for better sound has certainly driven technological change, but according to David L. Morton, so have business strategies, patent battles, and a host of other factors.

We consider portfolio allocation in which the underlying investment instruments are hedge funds. Benchmarks and conditional-value-at-risk motivate a family of utility functions involving the probability of outperforming a benchmark and expected shortfall from another benchmark. Non-normal return vectors with prescribed marginal distributions and correlation structure are modeled and simulated using the normal-to-anything method. A Monte Carlo procedure is used to obtain, and establish the quality of, a solution to the associated portfolio optimization model. Computational results are presented on a problem in which we construct a fund of 13 CSFB/Tremont hedge-fund indices.

In this new edition of a user-friendly laboratory manual for an entry- level course in biology, James W. and Joy B. Perry (U. of Wisconsin- Fox Valley), and David Morton (Frostburg State U.) provide numerous inquiry-oriented experiments, increased emphasis on hypothesis generation and testing, and new exercises on homeostasis, biological macromolecules, biotechnology, human senses, alleopathy and interspecific interactions, stream ecology and sampling, and animal behavior. Each exercise includes objectives, an introduction, materials, procedures, and pre-and post-lab questions. Contains color and b&w photographs and drawings.

Each page in this A level revision guide is a self-contained summary, using mainly diagrams with clear explanations, to make revision easier and to facilitate retention of the relevant material for examination purposes.

With this collection of hundreds of accurate, full-color photographs, you can recapture - and retain - what you''ve seen in your anatomy and physiology lab. Use this atlas side by side with your lab manual. These excellent photos have been chosen for their ability to clarify the anatomical structure of the specimens. Away from the lab, the atlas becomes a valuable tool for learning terms and studying for exams. Whether your goal is to better your test scores or to increase your grasp of the material you learn in the lab setting, Morton and Perry''s Photo Atlas for Anatomy and Physiology is key to a successful and understandable lab experience.

Written by James Perry and David Morton, the full-color atlas includes photos of botanical specimens, utilizing light, transmission, and electron microscopy. It also contains macro photography of whole specimens, microscope parts and techniques, and biological tests commonly used in the laboratory.

Alexandria -- a town of about 3,500 people in Glengarry County in Eastern Ontario -- conforms in some respects to the stereotype of small towns as friendly communities without the strains of city life. Although David Rayside found Alexandria to be a pleasant town, in this penetrating study he reveals that this community, which includes an almost equal mix of anglophones and francophones, is also marked by social inequalities and divisions that parallel those in urban centres.
