Zed is having a bad day. She's twelve and there's someone around who's killing kids, which she doesn't have time for. Today, she's already knifed a rapist, traded with half the drunks and addicts in town, talked to the dead, bargained with a sociopath, and extracted crucial information from a mental patient - and she hasn't even left the building. Welcome to what Whitbread Prize winner Lindsay Clarke has called ''a nightmare world which I am trying to escape, but cannot. ''Welcome to the Tower, an urban development project no city wants to lay claim to; a place to steer clear of if at all possible, but if you can't, you'll fit right in. Zed is a vivid, claustrophobic, at times nightmarish novel about madness, survival, and crumbling institutions; it is Moby Dick set in the squalor of an inner city, where rules are abandoned, and it's every man (and young girl) for him or herself. In the spirit of J.G. Ballard's High Rise or Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory, Zed depicts a frenzied underworld; it is a novel of verve and feverish, expansive imagination.

This lovely family-orientated illustrated story book makes the friendly animal characters come alive as they aim to teach children moral values for everyday issues of life. It is a great tool for parents or teachers of young children to teach a valuable lesson in character building and to share those intimate moments with the children they love as they read these exciting animal stories together. The fun animal character stories compiled in this book aim to bring about change in the lives of children through character building and valuable moral lessons taught. The whole writing and illustrating of this book was a true family effort, which in itself encapsulates the essence of the aim for which the stories have been written. I, the author, would like to thank my mother Bernadette and two of my sisters, Jean and Ronl, for illustrating the stories and giving the characters in this book faces and making them come alive. The approval and encouragement of my nephews and nieces, Josua, Kina, Miz and Mattias, throughout made the whole writing and illustrating process an enjoyable experience. Great gratitude goes to my parents, John and Bernadette, for loving me and doing an excellent job in raising me my siblings by setting an example with a good foundation of moral values. A big thank you goes to my husband, whom I love dearly, for his unconditional love for me and support in everything I do. And to my two children, Kristen and William, who give me inspiration through the joy they bring and the great love I have for them.

"Quantitative Risk Management (QRM) has become a field of research of considerable importance to numerous areas of application, including insurance, banking, energy, medicine, reliability. Mainly motivated by examples from insurance and finance, the authors develop a theory for handling multivariate extremes. The approach borrows ideas from portfolio theory and aims at an intuitive approach in the spirit of the Peaks over Thresholds method. The point of view is geometric. It leads to a probabilistic description of what in QRM language may be referred to as a high risk scenario: the conditional behaviour of risk factors given that a large move on a linear combination [portfolio, say] has been observed. The theoretical models which describe such conditional extremal behaviour are characterized and their relation to the limit theory for coordinatewise maxima is explained." "The book is based on a graduate course on point processes and extremes. It could form the basis for an advanced course on multivariate extreme value theory or a course on mathematical issues underlying risk. Students in statistics and finance with a mathematical, quantitative background are the prime audience. Actuaries and risk managers involved in data based risk analysis will find the models discussed in the book stimulating. The text contains many indications for further research."--BOOK JACKET.

EARTH PRO is an epic adventure interweaving three finely crafted story lines into a far reaching novel that beckons to unravel the greatest mysteries of the Human Race. The first story line is a string of chapters that explores the lives of some of the great minds of humanity and their personal struggles with visions clearly beyond their time. The second sequence describes Atlantis Spaceport located on Zeus, a planet that once existed as the fifth planet of our solar system. The science team stationed at Atlantis creates Earth Program, but comes under attack and is destroyed. The third story line spins the tale of an attractive honor student and a troubled teen labeled a schizophrenic, struggling in school. Together the two set out on an adventure to prove that a great tragedy befell the solar system billions of years earlier. EARTH PRO delivers romance, courage, betrayal, heroism, determination, and undying friendship. The stories involve characters that give of themselves the ultimate sacrifice for what they believe despite seemingly insurmountable odds, while offering a story line that delivers a plausible explanation for the greatest of mysteries--the truth of who we are, why we are, and the horizon over which all our destinies lie.
