Sara Nicoletta, a level-headed biologist, is about to become the aunt of a Neanderthal baby.

Or so her sister Liz says. A company named Barlas Labs claims that it can recreate the long-extinct species from its DNA sequence. Liz, a yoga-loving socialite, has signed up to be their first customer.

Sara believes that this is too ridiculous to be possible. But soon the project is encompassing her whole life, compromising her privacy and threatening her reputation as a serious researcher. And she finds herself coming head to head with Theo Barlas himself, the enigmatic founder of Barlas labs.

Written by a scientist, THE NEANDERTHAL'S AUNT combines cutting edge biology with an incorrigible dog, intermittent veganism, and a little light bondage to  tell the touching story of two sisters who become fundamentally divided on the question of what it means to be human.

PRAISE FOR THE NEANDERTHAL'S AUNT

"If Bridget Jones were a scientist, this would be her diary." Amy Rogers, author of Petroplague

"A dazzling, witty, and moving debut made all the more compelling by the fact that Gina DeMarco knows her science cold. Head, heart, and sci-fi gold." Linda Erin Keenan, author of Suburgatory

"I read this one out loud to whoever would listen, and had to stifle laughter when I read into the wee hours. Even if I didn't love Neanderthals, genetics, anthropology and mad scientists, I would love this book." Carol Kean, Perihelion SF Magazine

# data[].attributes.description
The Axe the Shield and the Halig Rood is the eagerly awaited sequel to the Axe the Shield and the Triton.
These are the continuing tales of Bowdyn, itinerant 17th Century Gleeman, member of an ancient story-telling guild. The Gewissae, the followers of warrior chieftain, Gewis, fleeing famine in their blighted land to join their kin on the east coast, are storm driven to the West Country of a Britannia now deserted by Rome. There they become warrior confederates of Caradoc, ruler of the Durotriges, in exchange for a place to build and farm. Joining to defend the land with Dux Caradoc's Legio II Militia, and Arthur the peacekeeper's Frisian cavalry, they tip the balance of power. In battle with the armies of warring petty tyrants they start the knitting up of the broken land of post-Roman Britannia, creating the Kingdom of Wessex as the Fates intended. Following on from the Axe the Shield and the Triton it is the continuing story of the workings of the Fates, forging in the white heat of joy and tragedy the iron hard warrior kings needed to build a nation, which will, over time, create an empire that changes the world.

Whether you are a movie lover, aspiring actor, storyteller, student of psychology or Enneagram enthusiast, this spirited and original book will alter the way you see movies forever. From classics to independent films to mega-hits, personality types are everywhere in the movies - if you know how to see them.
 
The Enneagram is a fascinating and popular system that describes nine personality types that human beings most favor. It is used in communication, self knowledge, story construction, actors. Knowledge of the Enneagram is helpful in dozens of ways, from understanding relationships to improving communication to handling difficult people. Newcomers to the Enneagram are often amazed to find clear accurate portraits of themselves and everyone else that they know. The Enneagram is about people - how we are the same, how we are different, what makes us tick.

Written in a lively entertaining style, The Enneagram Movie & Video Guide will help you learn the Enneagram quickly and apply it towards the personal and professional goals most important to you. This book is an indispensable source for movie buffs, students of human behavior and the Enneagram alike. The 2nd edition is available in paperback and includes a new Master Index as well as advanced Enneagram distinctions like wings and subtypes.
The Third Edition of the Guide is now available in ebook form. This is a major revision adding almost 200 new movie reviews. Read it on your phone, iPad, Kindle, Nook, PC, ereader.

What People Say About the Video Guide:
"A mine of real gold! What is beguiling about Condon's work, besides an uncommonly fine literary style, is the clarity with which he points out Enneagram styles that most students have trouble seeing."  - The National Catholic Reporter
 
"A real find! Condon's movie guide provides not only a snappy introduction to the Enneagram's personality types, but write-ups of about 1000 movies focusing on the main characters and their behaviors. A series of movies exhibiting one type will give the reader a great sense of both the basic issues and their variations for that type. Condon provides capsule reviews plus good viewing and study suggestions."   - Inner Journeys Book Review
 
"In becoming a psychotherapist it was always clear that reading great novels taught me more than any psychology course. Thomas Condon has taken film-the art form of our time-to show the mind heart and bodily experience of each Enneagram style. Truly a great book!" - Margaret Frings Keyes Author, Emotions & The Enneagram
 
"Not since Helen Palmer broke the ice with her classic work The Enneagram has learning this fascinating system of personality types been so easy. Considered to be one of the oldest forms of psychological assessment, the Enneagram has remained elusive to many, but, thanks to Thomas Condon, here is a format (finally) that anyone can understand. This book emphasizes the illustration of the nine Enneagram types through observation by providing the personality types for almost one thousand movie characters. The Guide is an easy read and functions as an admission ticket to a realm in which we can gain a deeper understanding of movie characters and personality types.
This is a must-read for people who already know the Enneagram - it will help them to deepen their insights - and it is a great introduction for the newcomer. The actors and movies are clearly indexed so readers can easily find their favorite actors and delve deeply into the movie characters' psyches. There is no stuffy psychobabble, just clear descriptions about using our most celebrated medium - film - as a tool of psychological discovery.

"In this  stunning collection, Bauke Kamstra has scooped out the hollow of nature and returned with the expressions of its soul. Everywhere the poet looks, he sees acutely: a tree 'has earned/its suffering/and its pieces/falling,' and of the people who live in its river weathering, Kamstra remembers that 'my mother's accordion/played so/many hymns/but the ecstasy/was all hers.' From the opening poem, in which a woman's washing reveals her violence, to his lament that he is returning with a war poem but not his leg, 'because my leg died there,' Kamstra reveals himself as a deeply gifted poet. Emily Dickinson would have kept this collection nearby." ~Charles Bane, Jr., author of The Chapbook, Love Poems; creator of The Meaning Of Poetry series for the Gutenberg Project, current nominee as Poet Laureate of Florida.

*Reveals the long view from an icon who, with age, has added wisdom to his list of accomplishments
*Messner climbing firsts: the worlds fourteen peaks taller than 8000 meters; Everest solo; Everest without supplemental oxygen
*Author of more than 60 books

Reinhold Messner: My Life at the Limit, the newest book by the famed mountaineer, is a conversation between Messner and interviewer Thomas Huetlin, an award-winning German journalist. It reveals a more thoughtful and conversational Messner than one finds in his previous books, with the talk between Messner and Huetlin covering not only the highlights of Messners climbing career, but also his treks across Tibet, the Gobi, and Antarctica; his five-year-stint as a member of the European Parliament; his encounter with and study of the yeti; his thoughts on traditional male/female roles; and much more. Readers learn about Messners childhood, his thoughts about eating ice cream with girls (against), politics (mostly liberal), and his technique for killing chickens (sharp scissors).

Messner is known as one of historys greatest Himalayan mountaineers, a man who pushed back the frontiers of the possible for a whole generation of climbers. While the interest in My Life at the Limit is that it exposes much more of the man than his climbing career, that career is still utterly remarkableand Mountaineers Books is proud to present this book, which is core to our mission, to audiences across North America.

Organizational Energy: 7 Pilars of Business Excellence

# data[].attributes.description
Organizational Energy presents a powerful and proven method for transforming organizations. Its power comes from a new understanding of organizations as living systems with their own vital energy, rather than simply mechanistic engines striving to meet their financial targets. Using the analogy between the human energy system and the organizational energy system leaders are able to understand and improve business excellence from a different perspective and improve the health and prosperity of their organizations.
This new way of thinking reflects a fundamental shift in business towards more sustainable ways of engaging people and husbanding our limited resources. Many organizations have not just suffered financial problems in the most recent recession; they face the deeper issues
of lost trust and growing scepticism about their very purpose. They now need help to heal and prosper.
In this book we propose such a way, by moving beyond the old, narrow mechanistic models of organizations to a more fluid and systemic perspective of organizations and the environments in which they exist. We believe that we must raise our organizational consciousness. And, that we must learn to act with a more profound understanding of the interconnectedness of the modern business landscape.

The relationship between mind and reality is usually perceived as an event that takes place in reality and producing simultaneously an internal image in the mind. So it takes place twice, so to speak, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two events. Within this conception, matter is embedded in space and time, and can be designated as container-principle. This monograph emphasizes that the well-known philosopher Immanuel Kant denied this principle and he stated that reality is principally not recognizable to a human being, and modern biological evolution seems to lead exactly to Kant's point of view. Within the theory of evolution, man's image about reality in mind does not have to be complete and true in the sense of a precise reproduction, and it is relatively easy to recognize that even space and time should not be elements of reality outside. Within this conception, only a certain part of reality, which the human being needs for mastering life, is projected onto space and time, and we come to the so-called projection principle. Then, spacetime defines the window to reality, leading to a number of exciting and essential questions, some of which are discussed in this monograph.As is known, current physics is mainly based on the container-principle. But this monograph proposes that the projection principle is obviously more suitable and could help to solve open-ended questions as, for example, in connection with the nature of time, the particle-wave duality, the cosmological constant, etc. Regarding the statistical behavior of matter, Einstein's statement God does not play dice has to be seen in a new light, but also Feynman's general viewpoint on quantum theory that it cannot be understood by man. However, conventional quantum theory is obviously not a consistent framework as per the projection principle. The term world equation is critically probed in this monograph.

SPANNING TREE RESULTS FOR GRAPHS AND MULTIGRAPHS

# data[].attributes.description
This book is concerned with the optimization problem of maximizing the number of spanning trees of a multigraph. Since a spanning tree is a minimally connected subgraph, graphs and multigraphs having more of these are, in some sense, immune to disconnection by edge failure. We employ a matrix-theoretic approach to the calculation of the number of spanning trees.The authors envision this as a research aid that is of particular interest to graduate students or advanced undergraduate students and researchers in the area of network reliability theory. This would encompass graph theorists of all stripes, including mathematicians, computer scientists, electrical and computer engineers, and operations researchers.

The Iliad: Join Achilles at the Gates of Troy as he slays Hector to Avenge the death of Patroclus. Here is a story of love and war, hope and despair, and honor and glory. The recent major motion picture Helen of Troy starring Brad Pitt proves that this epic is as relevant today as it was twenty five hundred years ago when it was first written. So journey back to the Trojan War with Homer and relive the grandest adventure of all times. The Odyssey: Journey with Ulysses as he battles to bring his victorious, but decimated, troops home from the Trojan War, dogged by the wrath of the god Poseidon at every turn. Having been away for twenty years, little does he know what awaits him when he finally makes his way home. These two books are some of the most important books in the literary canon, having influenced virtually every adventure tale ever told. And yet they are still accessible and immediate, and now you can have both in one volume.
