When 15-year-old Gus Mazur leaves his Oklahoma birthplace to live with his aunt and uncle in New York City, he narrowly escapes the blame for getting a girl "in trouble." In the Big Apple, a whole new life opens for Gus—from boarding school to university to Marine Corps duty in Paris to a career at the WBN television network. It's the dawn of civil rights struggles; WBN needs reporters with insider access to events off limits to their white counterparts, which enables Gus, as the network's only non-white producer, to be promoted executive producer by the age of 30. Yet, he chafes when he's forced to run civil rights and Vietnam stories that hide the truth from the American people. But the money is good and there aren’t that many opportunities for “someone like him.” It is also a time of liberation when women in all walks of life assert themselves. No more so than in television. It’s against this backdrop—civil rights, women’s liberation, and television that Gus’s encounters with three exceptional ladies lead to a greater self-awareness. • Joanna/Vicki: Gus’s first love whose dedication to her career as an economist dictates a relationship based on yearning and remembrance as they pass through each other’s lives in a sort of on-again, off-again sexual revitalization. • Miriam/Skipper: A dedicated third-grade teacher and exceptional athlete—Gus’s bi-sexual lover, who by exposure to Gus’s work, imagines herself an anchorwoman, a dream come true when she becomes one of the first women in television to shatter the glass ceiling. • Lil: A gentle Chinese-American who keeps Gus real in the face of the compromises he’s forced to make and the commercialism that pervades the television industry. After Gus is waylaid in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Convention, she’s instrumental in helping piece his life back together as Gus begins to appreciate her sacrifices. Simone de Beauvoir once called Stendhal and Joseph Conrad feminist writers. Add to that list Tolstoy (Anna Karenina), Henry James (Portrait of a Lady), and Theodore Dreiser (Carrie). Tales of the Tinkertoy carries on the tradition of these great minds.

From the creator of the TV show Bones comes a smart and funny debut thriller. “Everything a great thriller should be—always smart, often funny, and relentlessly exciting. I loved every page.”—Scott Turow Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client in the alley behind an upscale hotel. He’s spent the past twenty-eight hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a celebrity skateboard mogul who isn’t going home any time soon. Suddenly the wind begins to speak to Skellig in the guttural accent of the Chechen torturer he shot through the eye in Yemen a decade ago: Troubletroubletrouble. Skellig has heard these warnings before—he’s an Army Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a ragtag band of wounded veterans, including his Afghan interpreter—and he knows to listen carefully. Skellig runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but too late for one of Avila’s bodyguards—and wakes up hours later in the hospital, the only person of interest in custody for the murder. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Detective Delilah Groopman of the LAPD, gorgeous and brash, for whom Skellig has always held a candle. As for Avila? He’s willing to help clear Skellig’s name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become Avila’s personal chauffeur. A cushy gig for any driver, except for the fact that someone is clearly trying to kill Avila, and Skellig is literally the only person sitting between Avila and a bullet to the head.

Kathrin Koslicki offers an analysis of ordinary materials objects, those material objects to which we take ourselves to be committed in ordinary, scientifically informed discourse. She focuses particularly on the question of how the parts of such objects are related to the wholes which they compose. Many philosophers today find themselves in the grip of an exceedingly deflationary conception of what it means to be an object. According to this conception, any plurality of objects, no matter how disparate or gerrymandered, itself composes an object, even if the objects in question fail to exhibit interesting similarities, internal unity, cohesion, or causl interaction amongst each other. This commitment to initially counterintuitive objects follows from the belief that no principled set of criteria is available by means of which to distinguish intuitively gerrymandered objects from commonsensical ones; the project of this book is to persuade the reader that systematic principles can be found by means of which composition can be restricted, and hence that we need not embrace this deflationary approach to the question of what it means to be an object. To this end, a more full-blooded neo-Aristotelian account of parthood and composition is developed according to which objects are structured wholes: it is integral to the existence and identity of an object, on this conception, that its parts exhibit a certain manner of arrangement. This structure-based conception of parthood and composition is explored in detail, along with some of its historical precursors as well as some of its contemporary competitors.

The race is on to construct the first quantum code breaker, as the winner will hold the key to the entire Internet. From international, multibillion-dollar financial transactions to top-secret government communications, all would be vulnerable to the secret-code-breaking ability of the quantum computer. Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government’s development of quantum information science, Schrödinger’s Killer App: Race to Build the World’s First Quantum Computer presents an inside look at the government’s quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The "killer application" refers to Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. Schrödinger’s notion of quantum entanglement—and his infamous cat—is at the heart of it all. The book develops the concept of entanglement in the historical context of Einstein’s 30-year battle with the physics community over the true meaning of quantum theory. It discusses the remedy to the threat posed by the quantum code breaker: quantum cryptography, which is unbreakable even by the quantum computer. The author also covers applications to other important areas, such as quantum physics simulators, synchronized clocks, quantum search engines, quantum sensors, and imaging devices. In addition, he takes readers on a philosophical journey that considers the future ramifications of quantum technologies. Interspersed with amusing and personal anecdotes, this book presents quantum computing and the closely connected foundations of quantum mechanics in an engaging manner accessible to non-specialists. Requiring no formal training in physics or advanced mathematics, it explains difficult topics, including quantum entanglement, Schrödinger’s cat, Bell’s inequality, and quantum computational complexity, using simple analogies.

Mary Denk Tolentino-Duprey was born into a family of ten, with seven brothers and two sisters, in a little town called Whispering Pines. In the midst of poverty, she and her family struggled against the odds in the face of adversities daily. They were held together by a common thread, the love their mother and grandmother had for each of them. In Furnace of Affliction, Tolentino-Duprey shares her story. Her observations from childhood experiences are written in simple, detailed descriptions that reveal the love she had for God, her family, and nature, which overpowered the bleak days and nights of darkness, cold, and hunger. She tells how a whole new world opened up after living with another family for six months. Filled with positive and inspiring messages, Furnace of Affliction narrates anecdotes from Tolentino-Duprey’s young life, and she discusses how God helped carry her through the difficult and challenging times.
