DOWNLOAD EBOOKA blizzard, a completely bare man with the body of a god bleeding in your back yard...wait, what? After waking up to one of the worst snow storms his state has seen in years, Julian Warren expects to see a news report about business and school closures, not the earthshattering news of a mysterious island appearing in the Atlantic seemingly overnight and footage of what looks like a dragon straight out of myth circling said island. Adding to the madness, when a crash in his back yard leads Julian to discover a gorgeous man without a stitch on, bleeding, and with steam rising from his skin, he finds that he suddenly has an injured dragon shifter in need of shelter and care. The problem? Hiding the dragon's existence from a government currently freaking out about dragon sightings compounded by a mountain suddenly appearing in Julian's city would likely lead to a life sentence in prison. Oh, and Julian just may have a teensy crush on his unwitting guest that he thinks would never in a million years be reciprocated... Crashing hard into a cold sea of white is definitely not dragon shifter Sevek's finest moment. Finding himself at the mercy of a Terran man within a world that has been slowly bleeding into his own for centuries, one his king's scholars had been warning him to not get too close to is even worse. Sevek's only priority should be to find a way back to his people without revealing his true nature to the Terrans, yet he can't ignore the desires Julian awakens within him, desires he hasn't felt in years. Courting a mate that could betray him to the Terran military at any moment is beyond stupid, but it could be equally stupid to pass up the gift of a mate fate has offered them both. Can a dragon and a human make a relationship work, or will the fear of an uncertain future for both Sevek and the human world at large tear them apart? This is a complete m/m paranormal romance story with a HEA.It contains several scorching-hot scenes and mature language.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents the first unified conceptual and statistical framework for understanding the evolution of reproductive strategies. Using the concept of the opportunity for sexual selection, the authors illustrate how and why sexual selection, though restricted to one sex and opposed in the other, is one of the strongest and fastest of all evolutionary forces. They offer a statistical framework for studying mating system evolution and apply it to patterns of alternative mating strategies. In doing so, they provide a method for quantifying how the strength of sexual selection is affected by the ecological and life history processes that influence females' spatial and temporal clustering and reproductive schedules. Directly challenging verbal evolutionary models that attempt to explain reproductive behavior without quantitative reference to evolutionary genetics, this book establishes a more solid theoretical foundation for the field. Among the weaknesses the authors find in the existing data is the apparent ubiquity of condition-dependent mating tactics. They identify factors likely to contribute to the evolution of alternative mating strategies--which they argue are more common than generally believed--and illustrate how to measure the strength of selection acting on them. Lastly, they offer predictions on the covariation of mating systems and strategies, consider the underlying developmental biology behind male polyphenism, and propose directions for future research. Informed by genetics, this is a comprehensive and rigorous new approach to explaining mating systems and strategies that will influence a wide swath of evolutionary biology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLife as a dragon is all fun and games... until someone uncovers the truth. Omega dragon shifter Spencer is living his best life. That is, until a secret is revealed-one that not only turns his life upside down, but also threatens the royal line of his kingdom. He feels alone for the very first time. Alpha dragon shifter Raphael was raised to be the perfect prince. He had the best tutors, was given the best opportunities, and will one day save his family's lineage-or so his father has told him every day since he could remember. He's done being a pawn. Alpha human Hugh is just living his life, working his nine-to-five office job and hanging out with his friends. Nothing exciting ever happens to him-until it does. Suddenly he finds himself connected to not one but two men in a way he can't fully comprehend, discovering a whole new world he thought only existed in story books, and uncovering a brand-new side of himself-his Daddy side. The Dragon Prince's Mates is the fourth book in the popular M/M mpreg shifter Royal Heat series about three (or is it four) dragon princes who are in a race against time to find their true mates and save their ruling line. The Dragon Prince's Mates features a dragon who didn't know he was a prince, a prince who didn't know he was a pawn, a human who didn't know dragons were real, an unexpected clutch, adorable babies, and a first-time royal heat. And of course it ends where the entire story began... with four dragon eggs and the parents who love them dearly. While each book stands alone, they are enjoyed best when read in order. If you love dragons, nesting, not one but two hawt mates who adore taking care of their omega, and true love, this series by the co-author team of Lorelei M. Hart, Colbie Dunbar, and Trisha Linde is for you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Classical Mathematical Logic, Richard L. Epstein relates the systems of mathematical logic to their original motivations to formalize reasoning in mathematics. The book also shows how mathematical logic can be used to formalize particular systems of mathematics. It sets out the formalization not only of arithmetic, but also of group theory, field theory, and linear orderings. These lead to the formalization of the real numbers and Euclidean plane geometry. The scope and limitations of modern logic are made clear in these formalizations. The book provides detailed explanations of all proofs and the insights behind the proofs, as well as detailed and nontrivial examples and problems. The book has more than 550 exercises. It can be used in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses and for self-study and reference. Classical Mathematical Logic presents a unified treatment of material that until now has been available only by consulting many different books and research articles, written with various notation systems and axiomatizations.
