In a dark and distant future, death is obsolete. Jonas is a transient: a human spy living as an eternal. His mission is simple: always learn, never get caught. In the year 2578, an immortal regime controls the planet. Endless war has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Desperate to survive, the remaining factions deploy teenage spies, hoping to defeat the enemy from within. After years in the lion's den, Jonas has grown to admire the eternal civilization. He is learning to love what he blindly hated, blurring the mission and himself. But a reckoning is coming. The fates of billions hang in the balance. When the axe falls, Jonas must choose between his family and his species. Transient is a Readers' Favorite® 5-Star Selection and a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree "An exceptionally well-written, thought-provoking novel that ultimately carries a humanist message, contrasting feigned morality with perceived evil." —Lex Allen, Readers' Favorite "The world-building that author Zachry Wheeler does in Transient is simply amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it." —Geoff Habiger, Readers' Favorite "An exciting read from the beginning." —Tanja Jurkovic, Readers' Favorite "With its Kafkaesque rendering of humanity's backstory against the vampire-like eternals, the story has intrigue and drama focusing on a young spy's personal dilemma." —Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite "There is much to like, and much to admire, about Zachry Wheeler's ingeniously unique and nimble interpretation of the rather widely exploited vampire genre in his instantly engaging novel, Transient." —Joel R. Dennstedt, Readers' Favorite

"Networked mobile technologies (laptops, phones, tablets) complicate environments where they are used. These devices' capacity for movement and exchange opens the door to new resources, social arrangements, and cognitive challenges for users. This book focuses on the impact of these devices on writing by exploring transient literacies, or writers' everyday practices of spatial analysis and positioning that locate mobile composing and integrate materials across screens and physical spaces. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, the book traces how 22 writers across an independent coffee shop and campus social commons navigate their social and spatial environments while writing texts that range from academic to personal to professional. The book argues that many mobile composers position places outside their homes and offices as a commons that provides access to materials. Composers in these spaces work in complicated atmospheres of ambient sociability, in which they navigate multiple social channels simultaneously. They also continually produce new models of attention as an outcome of interacting with people and technologies while writing. Based on this conception of writing as phenomenologically experienced in participation with materials, the book concludes by envisioning composing learning as a process of continually adjusting embodied practices based on new encounters with materials"--

New York Times Bestseller: Two injured, unconscious American women are found in Venice, Italy, leading a police detective down a dark path: “A splendid read.” —BookPage In his many years as a commissario, Guido Brunetti has seen all manner of crime and known intuitively how to navigate the various pathways in his native city, Venice, to discover the person responsible. In this novel in Silver Dagger Award-winning series, he faces a heinous crime committed outside his jurisdiction. He is drawn in innocently enough: two young American women have been badly injured in a boating accident, joyriding in the Laguna with two young Italians. But Brunetti’s curiosity is aroused by the men’s behavior. Why did they run off after bringing the victims to the hospital if the injuries were accidental? As Brunetti and his colleague, Claudia Griffoni, investigate, they discover that one of the young men works for someone rumored to be involved in more sinister nighttime activities in the Laguna. To get to the bottom of what proves to be a gut-wrenching case, Brunetti needs to enlist the help of both the Carabinieri and the Guardia di Costiera. Determining how much trust he and Griffoni can put in these unfamiliar colleagues adds to the difficulty of solving a peculiarly horrible crime—whose perpetrators are technologically brilliant and ruthlessly organized . . . “Highly atmospheric . . . Brunetti continues to delight.” —Library Journal “[An] endlessly enjoyable series.” —The New York Times Book Review

Photographer Linke presents 200 of his color photographs taken all over the world and thematically illustrating globalization. The photographs individually vary widely in terms of subject matter and even composition, including enigmatic pictures of smoke rising from the "Ground Zero" of September 11th, the smog rising over Mexico City, an aerial view of Brazilian rainforest, the fence designed to coral anti-capitalist protestors in Montreal during the FTAA conference, street scenes of Saddam Hussein's birthday parade shortly before Iraq's invasion by the U.S., and Russian astronauts training in a swimming pool. A certain stylistic unity seems to emerge through the accumulation of mostly wide-angle shots. A brief critical essay and an interview with the author is appended to the end of the work.

When the nation is hit by a mysterious shockwave, the resulting power outage interrupts the world as we know it. Everything that was powered on at the time of the transient pulse is destroyed, seizing cities and populations in mass explosions caused by the rippling aftershocks. The lingering darkness severs society in two: those who choose ruinous control, stealing and murdering for provisions, and those who begin to create plans for long-term survival. The latter includes Dixie, a strong, yet hesitant young woman living in the heart of southern California. Dixie is forced to build plans to navigate the country in hopes to find a northern safe zone with Paul, a level-headed survivalist. When Paul goes missing, Dixie must overcome her chronic uncertainty and make the first of many life-or-death decisions: Will Dixie choose to wait for Paul, using up their limited supplies in the delay? Or, will Dixie begin the journey on her own, possibly having to turn to the dark side of society to survive?

The principles of the First Edition--to teach students and engineers the fundamentals of electrical transients and equip them with the skills to recognize and solve transient problems in power networks and components--also guide this Second Edition. While the text continues to stress the physical aspects of the phenomena involved in these problems, it also broadens and updates the computational treatment of transients. Necessarily, two new chapters address the subject of modeling and models for most types of equipment are discussed. The adequacy of the models, their validation and the relationship between model and the physical entity it represents are also examined. There are now chapters devoted entirely to isolation coordination and protection, reflecting the revolution that metal oxide surge arresters have caused in the power industry. Features additional and more complete illustrative material--figures, diagrams and worked examples. An entirely new chapter of case studies demonstrates modeling and computational techniques as they have been applied by engineers to specific problems.
