Jake MacDonald had lived almost his entire life in a remote cabin in the Alaska sub-arctic. He was homeschooled by his mother, a former music teacher. From his father, he learned to hunt, fish and trap—and everything else a man needs to know to live a subsistence lifestyle. But his mother insisted that he finish his education at a real high school in a real town. So, at seventeen, Jake heads for the interior city of Fairbanks. Jake knows how to field dress a fifteen-hundred-pound moose. He knows how to run a shallow river in a jet boat and set a gill net for salmon. But navigating the challenges of his senior year at an overcrowded, two thousand student high school? He hadn’t a clue. Fortunately, ten minutes into his first day Jake meets Julie Peters, a pretty girl whose maturity and intelligence is every bit a match for his. They’re both eager to learn everything about each other’s world. But there’s one thing, one terrible secret about Jake that no one—not even Julie—can ever know.

In 2011 unmanned drones flew high over Pakistan. Before anyone even knew the drones were there, missiles fired by these drones took out key terrorist targets. These drones were steered remotely by US Air Force pilots, stationed safely thousands of miles away at a base near Las Vegas, Nevada. Electronics didn't become part of warfare until the late nineteenth century. Electronics engineers developed radar to detect enemy ships and aircraft and sonar to help submarines navigate underwater. Computer scientists hope to develop artificially intelligent robot warriors that will replace human soldiers in dangerous combat situations. Read how electronics have shaped war in the modern world―and how they may change warfare in the future.

Rotten Apples Comedy ClubThe debut novel by G.G.Burrows Comedian Reggie Taylor sits in his basement flat in London, wondering how different his life would've been if he wasn't recorded snorting cocaine. He becomes a disease to the industry and is dropped by his agent and has all upcoming shows cancelled. Unsure of when his next paycheck will arrive, he receives a phone call from an agent named, Mickey Vaughan. Vaughan puts together a tour group named ‘Rotten Apples' consisting of past and present stand-up comedians Stanley Knight, Bernie Mathers, and Pete Hampton. The Rotten Apples embark on a tour of the United Kingdom in an attempt to break into the big time of the comedy circuit. Will they be remembered for the comedians they are? Or the mayhem that came with them? "Comedy, it can change lives. To laugh, chuckle, giggle, or even guffaw is to forget about the world's troubles briefly. To escape the shackles of the daily grind and embrace how beautiful life can be before reality drags you back into its gut. It's worth remembering that laughter is only temporary. But laughter can become contagious and last a lifetime if you surround yourself with the right people. With the people, you enjoy spending time with. In our solitary confinement we have only but one choice, soil or fire. Unless you enjoy a sea burial, I'm not a huge fan of fish. We might as well laugh until that time comes."Reggie Taylor, Rotten Apples.

A new interdisciplinary perspective on architecture and geometry―from Athenian Ruins to the Chrysler buildingThe geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures. From humankind’s first path-like doodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractions developed to make accurate measurements and predictions, the three-dimensional forms we design and build have always been dependent on available materials, human needs, and the limits of our imaginations.3D Thinking in Design and Architecture tells the story of the intimate relationship between geometry, mathematics and man-made design throughout human history, from the Neolithic period through the Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek, Celtic, Islamic and Renaissance cultures, to the present and the possible future. Presenting key principles that can be applied across all design disciplines, design expert Roger Burrows relates how geometry as a visual language has evolved to meet our needs, initiated new technologies, and changed the way we think about the world around us. With a wealth of original artwork by the author to explain his ideas, this book will be an essential reference and source of inspiration for students and design professionals. 793 illustrations, 618 in color

Surveys reflect that few adults know the Bible very well. This resource will assist in teaching children about the books of the Bible for lifelong Bible competence and a love of Scripture. It is a curriculum that offers up to nine months of material most likely to be used during a school year. Each month will be a different level and a different belt that includes one main passage of Scripture each month: Sept – how to use the Bible and the Torah Oct – explore remainder of the Old Testament and how to find Scripture Nov – New Testament books Dec – Peaceable Kingdom passage January – paraphrase of Ten Commandments Feb – The Lord’s Prayer March – 23rd Psalm April – Beatitudes (paraphrased) May – parables (children will be able to retell two parables) Written into the curriculum will be Words of Celebration (Psalms), Words of Comfort, Words of Wisdom (Proverbs), and Words of Jesus. Activities will help children memorize Bible verses and each activity uses physical motion in some way. Every passage of Scripture used will include it’s own unique physical activity to ensure that 60-70 different physical activities exist including games, reflection, movement, percussion, and so forth. In the resource Mark Burrows talks about how it can be adapted: either as part of a regular Sunday school class, paired with Wednesday evening program, choir program, spring break option, or summer program
