Books are amongst the most personal of gifts. The book we choose to give a loved one is informed by our intimate knowledge of their personal histories and their tastes. Often, when we gift books, we love to explain the meaning behind our present by writing an inscription within its pages. Ordinarily, we hope the gift and its message will be enjoyed, placed lovingly on its new owner's bookshelf and treasured forever. This is not always the case, though ... W B Gooderham is fascinated by second-hand books and curates a growing collection of those featuring intriguing inscriptions. The messages he finds range from the awkward scratchings of adolescent infatuation, to the resentful recriminations of a love affair gone sour and offer illuminating glimpses into their books' own secret histories. This beautifully presented book will feature the very best from the author's collection of dedications alongside the covers of the works in which they were found. From Animal Farm to Pride and Prejudice, there's something here to please every book lover's taste.

Dedicated To You is a compilation of works, dedicated to friends, and acquaintances that I have met over the years of my life. So many different people, races, creeds, genders sharing so many of the same issues. So many similarities in health, personal and religious problems. Problems with their spouses, their jobs, their children, their weight and their fi nances. Wars, world hunger, cancer, aids and so many, many things that one cant even begin to imagine. One of the greatest words in any dictionary, in any language is hello. Hello is the beginning of many great relationships of all kind, love affairs, and business deals, bonding of nations, and mending hurt feelings and clearing up misunderstanding. A sincere hello followed by a real conversation putting all agendas on the table could prevent many misunderstandings and conflicts. A sincere hello could make people look at each other as human beings, and see that under all of our pretenses, isms, bigotry and hate we are more alike than we can imagine.

It's a book about hope! It's a book about encouragement and inspiration! It's a book about running the race and finishing strong! Inspired by and Dedicated To is Doug Dials latest work, which is overflowing with stories and poetry of inspiration, encouragement, and hope. Thirty-five of the authors friends and acquaintances are highlighted in this manuscript. Each chapter begins with a brief encounter into the lives of one of Doug's friends. What follows are stories and poems with uplifting, encouraging, and heartfelt messages. The stories and poetry contain a variety of subject matter including peace in the midst of the storm, dealing with grief, faith, hope, love, courage, and a host of other uplifting topics. Doug is related to some of these people. Others are former classmates. Many have mentored and trained him in the Word of God. Several, he has had the privilege of teaching in a church or school setting. Some, he has known for years; others, he has met only recently. All of them, however, hold a very special place in this author's heart. You will laugh. You will cry. You will identify with many of the people, and you will be inspired!

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 2008 Conference on Frontiers of Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM'08), held at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), May 19-21, 2008. The papers reflect the conference themes of mathematical biology, mathematical fluid dynamics, applied statistics and biostatistics, and waves and electromagnetics. Some of the world's most distinguished experts in the conference focus areas provide a unique and timely perspective on leading-edge research, research trends, and important open problems in several fields, making it a “must read” for active mathematical scientists.Included are major new contributions by a distinguished trio of plenary speakers: Frank Hoppensteadt contributes a thought-provoking paper on the evolving relationship between applied mathematics and the computer; Pranab Sen explores exciting new trends in computational biology and informatics; and Jean-Marc Vanden-Broeck describes his recent research on 3D free surface flows. There are also many innovative contributions by a prestigious group of invited mini-symposium speakers, making this an indispensable collection for professionals and graduate students in the mathematical sciences and related fields.Finally, the 75th birthday dedication to Daljit S Ahluwalia — for his many contributions to building a world-class mathematical sciences department at NJIT — adds to making this a one-of-a-kind volume.
