Amber Ryann was different than most children her age. Born with a melanocyte defect, Amber suffered from pale skin and pure white hair. This made her a target for bullying as well as an object of neglect from her very own parents. Needless to say, Amber had it rough growing up. Still, through all of the torment she endured, Amber pressed on with her life; however, all of those experiences would have an adverse effect on her, leaving her with severe social anxiety, the inability to trust people, and a very unique way of speaking. The only thing that could comfort Amber was the online battle game Blaze Auras. Before Amber became the #1 ranked player in that game, she had a long and arduous journey to get there. This is her story.

This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).

Her New York Times bestselling Outlander novels have earned the praise of critics and captured the hearts of millions of fans.

One of the top ten best-loved novels in America, as seen on PBS’s The Great American Read! Scottish Highlands, 1945. Claire Randall, a former British combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743. Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of a world that threatens her life, and may shatter her heart.
