As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book he is very vain , he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange and stinky circumstances. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too.
For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret. For fans of All the Light We Cannot See, Beneath a Scarlet Sky, and The Nightingale comes an emotionally gripping, beautifully written historical novel about extraordinary hope, redemption, and one man's search for light during the darkest times of World War II. Germany, Franciscan friar Anton Starzmann is stripped of his place in the world when his school is seized by the Nazis.
He relocates to a small German hamlet to wed Elisabeth Herter, a widow who seeks a marriage--in name only--to a man who can help raise her three children. Anton seeks something too--atonement for failing to protect his young students from the wrath of the Nazis.
But neither he nor Elisabeth expects their lives to be shaken once again by the inescapable rumble of war. As Anton struggles to adapt to the roles of husband and father, he learns of the Red Orchestra, an underground network of resisters plotting to assassinate Hitler. Despite Elisabeth's reservations, Anton joins this army of shadows. But when the SS discovers his schemes, Anton will embark on a final act of defiance that may cost him his life--even if it means saying goodbye to the family he has come to love more than he ever believed possible.
It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used.
The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. It reveals how this discipline sits at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and machine learning, with a distinct heft and character of its own. Practitioners in these and related fields will find this book perfect for self-study as well. Wafa Sultan has become a force radical Islam has to reckon with.

This is the first comprehensive text on social psychological approaches to communication, providing an excellent introduction to theoretical perspectives, special topics, and applied areas and practice in communication.

What does it mean to say that Native peoples exist in the present? In Beyond Settler Time Mark Rifkin investigates the dangers of seeking to include Indigenous peoples within settler temporal frameworks. Claims that Native peoples should be recognized as coeval with Euro-Americans, Rifkin argues, implicitly treat dominant non-native ideologies and institutions as the basis for defining time itself.
How, though, can Native peoples be understood as dynamic and changing while also not assuming that they belong to a present inherently shared with non-natives?
Drawing on physics, phenomenology, queer studies, and postcolonial theory, Rifkin develops the concept of "settler time" to address how Native peoples are both consigned to the past and inserted into the present in ways that normalize non-native histories, geographies, and expectations. Through analysis of various kinds of texts, including government documents, film, fiction, and autobiography, he explores how Native experiences of time exceed and defy such settler impositions.

In her book, which she is distributing for free as a PDF file, Genduso says the July 4 fight started when a friend of that ex-boyfriend, Sean Bucci, showed up at the Osborn. Genduso was not working that night, and she initially declined the bartender's offer to throw Bucci's friend out of the bar.
When the friend, who Genduso did not name in her book, yelled at her, the fight broke out. The bartender suffered a concussion in the melee. I walked over to Bucci's friend, and told him 'let's go. Excerpts of the book were published on Turtleboy Sports Monday. Genduso was suspended from the State Police last February and was living in Peabody when she took the job at the Osborn.
Genduso dealt marijuana with Bucci in the early s. In exchange for immunity, Genduso testified against Bucci, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison following his trial. After her testimony, Genduso eventually got a job as a civilian State Police dispatcher and applied to become a state police officer in She was hired in In her application she disclosed that she had used marijuana in but did not disclose her role in Bucci's operation or conviction.
A State Police report released in August said her "omissions and deceptive responses" were the reason the background check did not uncover ties to the drug dealer. The report only notes that Genduso was living with Daniel Risteen when she applied to become a state trooper in Risteen was third in command at the Massachusetts State Police until he retired in February.
Nor does the report conclude that the inclusion of Risteen's friend Lieutenant Colonel Francis Hughes on the three-person review board that approved Genduso's background investigation was a factor in her hiring.
