Описание: C.K., a man on death row for killing his child lover, and Johnnie, now a psychiatrist, relive their childhood friendship. Both were victims of a child pornography cult that operated out of their day-care centre in 1983. They are single children of two very different sets of parents and just happen, in mid-childhood, to become neighbours in rural Indiana. One boy relishes some of the day-care memories; the other has repressed everything, but his occasional flashbacks unsettle his best friend. A third boy, an interloper who is still involved with the perpetrators, instils rivalry among the two, but this anguish binds C.K. and Johnnie even further. The voluptuous Cross-Eyed Ladonna and an older bi-sexual neighbour create confusion and guilt as the two boys grapple with themselves as sexual beings. Love, laughter, perceptiveness, and wanting to do the right thing entwine the two boys in deepening friendship.

Описание: This second edition of Volume 2 of the Spirit Dogs Trilogy follows Ivan the Australian Shepherd, who has just died in a car crash with his beloved Sarah. It wasnt time for Sarahs life to end, but it is time for Ivan to prepare for his next incarnation, a hero of such magnitude that he will become the next leader of Dog Heaven. To his dismay, he is put in charge of five other new arrivals and must manage their exploration of their previous lives, what it means to be a "whole" dog, and how their spiritual growth would best be served in their next incarnation. Ivan proceeds with a huge sense of self-doubt and must face the evil Garmr in Ivans quest to understand who he was in his last lifetime, who he is now, and who he will be in the future.

Описание: In the final volume of the Spirit Dogs Trilogy, Ivan and his former Heavenly companions, whose back yards all abut one another in a Chicago suburb, face several challenges on Ivans path to earn his place as the leader of Dog Heaven. His mission in this last lifetime is to become a hero of such magnitude that his series of canine lifetimes will be complete. Readers are thrown into the human family lives of Ivan, the Australian Shepherd-mixed breed, and Sandals, a Papillon who was Stealth the fighting pit bull terrier in his previous incarnation. Ivan sustains a major physical injury that may keep him from completing the demanding tests to become a FEMA I search and rescue dog. Garmr, the devil dog from Volume 2, Life Between Lives, returns in a new disguise and with even greater determination to sabotage Ivans quests.
Описание: One of the most significant transformations in literature for children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits of comics reading, and increasingly, children’s and YA comics and comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence of children’s and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received adequate scholarly attention.Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of children’s and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five sections: structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of disciplines—English, education, library science, and fine arts. Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics, including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang, Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as Raina Telgemeier’s Drama andSherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.With contributions by: Eti Berland, Rebecca A.

Описание: A complete critical guide to the history, form and contexts of the genre, Children’s and Young Adult Comics helps readers explore how comics have engaged with one of their most crucial audiences. In an accessible and easy-to-navigate format, the book covers such topics as: ·The history of comics for children and young adults, from early cartoon strips to the rise of comics as mainstream children’s literature ·Cultural contexts – from the Comics Code Authority to graphic novel adaptations of popular children’s texts such Neil Gaiman’s Coraline ·Key texts – from familiar favourites like Peanuts and Archie Comics to children’s Manga such as Lun Lun Yamanoto’s Swans in Space, YA graphic novels such as Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese and hybrid works including the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series ·Important theoretical and critical approaches to studying children’s and young adult comics Children’s and Young Adult Comics includes a glossary of crucial critical terms, annotated guides to further reading and online resources and discussion questions to help students and readers develop their understanding of these genres and pursue independent study.

Описание: The use of Western heritage models in the Arabian Peninsula inspires two key areas for research which this book examines: the obscuring of indigenous concepts and practices of heritage and expressions of cultural identity; and the tensions between local/community concepts of heritage and identity and the new national identities being constructed through museums and heritage sites at a state level.

Описание: This textbook blends evolution and trophic dynamics, taking into account recent advances in both behavioural and population ecology. A central objective of this work is to consider whether adaptive behavioural decisions on the individual organism level might tend to stabilize trophic interactions.

Описание:
A population is a summation of all the organisms of the same group or species, which live in a particular geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding. The main mathematical problem for a given population is to carefully examine the evolution (time dependent dynamics) of the population. The mathematical methods used in the study of this problem are based on probability theory, stochastic processes, dynamical systems, nonlinear differential and difference equations, and (non-)associative algebras.
A state of a population is a distribution of probabilities of the different types of organisms in every generation. Type partition is called differentiation (for example, sex differentiation which defines a bisexual population). This book systematically describes the recently developed theory of (bisexual) population, and mainly contains results obtained since 2010.
The book presents algebraic and probabilistic approaches in the theory of population dynamics. It also includes several dynamical systems of biological models such as dynamics generated by Markov processes of cubic stochastic matrices; dynamics of sex-linked population; dynamical systems generated by a gonosomal evolution operator; dynamical system and an evolution algebra of mosquito population; and ocean ecosystems.
The main aim of this book is to facilitate the reader's in-depth understanding by giving a systematic review of the theory of population dynamics which has wide applications in biology, mathematics, medicine, and physics.
