( This book carries forward recent work on visual pattern...)
This book carries forward recent work on visual patterns and structures in digital images and introduces a near set-based a topology of digital images. Visual patterns arise naturally in digital images viewed as sets of non-abstract points endowed with some form of proximity (nearness) relation. Proximity relations make it possible to construct uniform topologies on the sets of points that constitute a digital image. In keeping with an interest in gaining an understanding of digital images themselves as a rich source of patterns, this book introduces the basics of digital images from a computer vision perspective. In parallel with a computer vision perspective on digital images, this book also introduces the basics of proximity spaces. Not only the traditional view of spatial proximity relations but also the more recent descriptive proximity relations are considered. The beauty of the descriptive proximity approach is that it is possible to discover visual set patterns among sets that are non-overlapping and non-adjacent spatially. By combining the spatial proximity and descriptive proximity approaches, the search for salient visual patterns in digital images is enriched, deepened and broadened. A generous provision of Matlab and Mathematica scripts are used in this book to lay bare the fabric and essential features of digital images for those who are interested in finding visual patterns in images. The combination of computer vision techniques and topological methods lead to a deep understanding of images.

( Has globalization the phenomenon outgrown "globalizatio...)
Has globalization the phenomenon outgrown "globalization" the concept? In Distant Proximities, one of America's senior scholars presents a work of sweeping vision that addresses the dizzying anxieties of the post-Cold War, post-September 11 world. Culminating the influential reassessment of international relations he began in 1990 with Turbulence in World Politics, James Rosenau here undertakes the first systematic analysis of just how complex these profound global changes have become. Among his many conceptual innovations, he treats people-in-the-street as well as activists and elites as central players in what we call "globalization." Deftly weaving striking insights into arresting prose, Rosenau traces the links and interactions between people at the individual level and institutions such as states, nongovernmental organizations, and transnational corporations at the collective level. In doing so he masterfully conveys how the emerging new reality has unfolded as events abroad increasingly pervade the routines of life at home and become, in effect, distant proximities. Rosenau begins by distinguishing among various local, global, and private "worlds" in terms of their inhabitants' orientations toward developments elsewhere. He then proceeds to cogently analyze how the residents of these worlds shape and are shaped by the diverse collectivities that crowd the global stage and that sustain such issues as human rights, corruption, the global economy, and global governance. Throughout this richly imaginative, fluidly written book, Rosenau examines how anti-globalization protests and the terrorist attacks on America amount to quintessential distant proximities. His book is thus a pathbreaking inquiry into the dynamics that lie beyond globalization, one that all thoughtful observers of the world scene will find penetrating and provocative.

James Toner argues that the cardinal virtues are and must be the core values of the military. By embracing these values, the profession of arms serves as a moral compass in an increasingly confusing age. Building upon a bold introduction, which includes what many will regard as a surprising view of military ethics, Toner examines the four cardinal virtues―wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice―and places each in the context of a compelling case study from recent U.S. military history. He discusses the Flinn Case, the Lavelle Affair, a B-52 crash in Washington State, and the courageous actions of Hugh Thompson after My Lai. Morals Under the Gun connects ethics and moral theology with the armed services, demonstrating that the task of preserving virtue, both personal and professional, is a noble, if imperfectible, task.

( At one time, heart disease was a death sentence. In The...)
At one time, heart disease was a death sentence. In The Heart Healers, world renowned cardiologist Dr. James Forrester tells the story of the mavericks and rebels who defied the accumulated medical wisdom of the day to begin conquering heart disease. By the middle of the 20th century, heart disease was killing millions and, as with the Black Death centuries before, physicians stood helpless. Visionaries, though, had begun to make strides earlier. On Sept. 7, 1895, Ludwig Rehn successfully sutured the heart of a living man with a knife wound to the chest for the first time. Once it was deemed possible to perform surgery on the heart, others followed. In 1929, Dr. Werner Forssman inserted a cardiac catheter in his own arm and forced the x-ray technician on duty to take a photo as he successfully threaded it down the vein into his own heart...and lived. On June 6, 1944 - D-Day - another momentous event occurred far from the Normandy beaches: Dr. Dwight Harken sutured the shrapnel-injured heart of a young soldier, saved his life and the term "cardiac surgeon" born. Dr. Forrester tells the story of these rebels and the risks they took with their own lives and the lives of others to heal the most elemental of human organs - the heart. The result is a compelling chronicle of a disease and its cure, a disease that is still with us, but one that is slowly being worn away by "The Heart Healers".

James A. Rawley examines the seven turning points of the Civil War: the course of the slaveholding borderland in 1861, First Bull Run, the Trent affair, Antietam, the Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and the presidential election of 1864. Among the topic unifying his book are slavery, democracy, British policy, military organization and progress, and the roles of Lincoln, McClellan, Davis, and Lee. The afterword looks at the Civil War itself as a turning point in American history. In a preface to this Bison Book editin, James A. Rawley, considers recent books that sustain the idea of turning points during the Civil War.

( Around the Sacred Fire is a compelling cultural history...)
Around the Sacred Fire is a compelling cultural history of intertribal activism centered on the Indian Ecumenical Conference, an influential movement among native people in Canada and the U.S. during the Red Power era. Founded in 1969, the Conference began as an attempt at organizing grassroots spiritual leaders who were concerned about the conflict between tribal and Christian traditions throughout Indian country. By the mid-seventies thousands of people were gathering each summer in the foothills of the Rockies, where they participated in weeklong encampments promoting spiritual revitalization and religious self-determination. Most historical overviews of native affairs in the sixties and seventies emphasize the prominence of the American Indian Movement and the impact of highly publicized confrontations such as the Northwest Coast fish-ins, the Alcatraz occupation, and events at Wounded Knee. The Indian Ecumenical Conference played a central role in stimulating cultural revival among native people, partly because Conference leaders strategized for social change in ways that differed from the militant groups. Drawing on archival records, published accounts, oral histories, and field research, James Treat has written the first comprehensive study of this important but overlooked effort at postcolonial interreligious dialogue.

Hauled back early from an exercise with the SAS, Paul Richter is tasked with a short-notice extraction job. It goes unexpectedly well, and as a kind of reward he's given an easy one: he's to investigate the case of James Holden, a middle-aged Englishman living in Dubai, who appears able to predict terrorist attacks. It should be simple -- a break in the sun and a couple of days' work at most -- but, almost as soon as he arrives in Dubai, he is diverted to Bahrain. Then it all starts getting complicated. Who is the secretive patient in the Manama hospital? Who has slaughtered a dozen people at a remote stable in Saudi Arabia just to steal one horse? And why has a US State Department jet carrying a specialist CIA team been diverted to Cairo? Nothing seems to make sense until Richter finally uncovers the outlines of a plot that will come to fruition during the world's richest horse-race. But, behind the scenes, an even more complex scheme is being executed and Richter is in a race against time to prevent a catastrophic terrorist attack on the city of Dubai itself.

(Our journey began when my lovely wife went for what we th...)
Our journey began when my lovely wife went for what we thought was minor surgery. They discovered some cancer and removed it, but recommended that she go through intense chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Scripture says that when two join together in Holy Matrimony, they become one flesh, therefore it wasn't just my wife who was being afflicted. I felt one of the greatest things that I could do to see us through this dark valley (because she was the one enduring the physical suffering) was to begin to help her stay focused on the goodness of the Father of us all. So I began to write a prayer each day... The purpose of these daily prayers is to help you and your loved ones enter into the joy of worshiping the Creator in the midst of your trial. Worship is a wonderful thing, one of the greatest gifts God has given us. As we place Him in the place of highest honor (which rightfully belongs to Him; after all, He is the One who created each of us), our expression of worship supernaturally lifts us above the darkness that threatened to engulf us. From there we begin to see through Father's eyes the eternal truth that we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, far above all fear. The simple purpose of this book is to help you and your loved ones find your location in the dark valley, move through the valley in the light of His faith, and find your seat in heavenly places, prepared for you from the foundation of the world. "If there would be one word that I chose for this beautiful book, it would be hope.... Rarely does one see such heart-felt prayers coupled with the beauty of the artist in one place. The pages are full of 'words in due season' on a daily basis." - Cindy Jacobs "As you read the prayers James wrote to encourage Colleen on her passage through the valley of affliction, may you also be encouraged. We follow a Good Shepherd who is able to lead us through the valley of the shadow of death." - Chuck D. Pierce

Showing a natural talent for combat, and for disobeying senior officers, this first short story documents Adrian's initial training, and his eventual involvement in the Gulf War. A thrilling introduction to the man who would become the most feared assassin ever to pick up a gun, packed with humor, emotion, and edge-of-the-seat action! Book 1 in the best-selling series of short stories, Adrian Hell: Origins. Approximate length: 65 pages. Interview with James P. Sumner Q: James, what can readers expect from the Adrian Hell series? A: The pace of the series is unrelenting, and each book is written like an action movie. The main character is believable – he could quite easily be the guy sitting next to you in the bar. You want him to succeed, even if you don’t always like how he goes about things, because you can relate to him. The books are filled with action and humor. Guys will want to be Adrian Hell, and women will want to be WITH him! Q: Why the big re-release? What’s changed? A: I’ve been writing for almost two years, and as an author, I’m constantly improving. I’ve reached a stage now where I believe I can make each book realize its full potential. In the big re-release of March 2015, the books have additional content, re-designed covers and professional editing. That’s why I’m keen to make them as available as possible, because even if you’ve read them before, it’s definitely worth re-reading them now. The biggest change is Crucible becoming True Conviction – a title which I think captures the essence of the story much better than before. There’s also close to 10,000 words of additional story content in there. It’s free, so check it out! Q: Who would you compare Adrian Hell to? A: He’s definitely inspired by many different characters, but I don’t want to compare him to anyone. He’s not the next anybody, he’s the first Adrian Hell, and I hope people find both the character and his stories original and refreshing. Q: So, what’s next for you? A: 2015 is going to be focused on building the brand and my audience. I expect at least two new releases this year as well.

In this shocking and illuminating road trip through an America ravaged by debt, award-winning film director James Scurlock examines our multitrillion-dollar addiction to easy credit in all of its absurdities and contradictions. Maxed Out ventures beyond the mind-numbing statistics to expose a financial industry spinning wildly out of control. From the gilded master-planned communities of Northern Las Vegas to the shotgun shacks of the Deep South, the world's largest financial institutions are trolling for customers, hooking the nouveau riche and the poor alike with promises of cheap and easy credit. Maxed Out exposes how Wall Street and Congress spawned the subprime mortgage crisis and reveals how credit card issuers form multimillion-dollar partnerships with universities -- paying them millions for access to their students' personal information, setting kids up for financial ruin before their first job. The industry's final frontier, "debt buying," is a veritable Wild West in which ambitious young men make quick fortunes off the misery and misfortune of others. Hilarious, fascinating, and deeply disturbing, Maxed Out is one man's answer to modern America's most pressing question, "Why can't we get out of debt?"

Jim Darnell needed money to start a ranch and build a herd. He could earn in a few months of gold mining what it would take years to earn punching cows. With a pregnant wife waiting for him, Jim set off to make his own good luck in Wyoming. Deadwood Gulch was a boomtown, with nearby claims just beginning to pay off. A few people were making a lot of money; unforunately most people were barely getting by. And there were those whose only business was stealing what others had worked hard to earn. After a while, success was within Jim's grasp, but thieves and murderers were at his heels.
