New Releases by Andrew Arnold

In this long-awaited third volume in Adventure in Cartooning series, you’ll find everything you need to dream up and draw fantastical worlds for your character to inhabit! The Knight is back and ready for another cartooning adventure with Edward the Horse! As every adventurer knows, you can’t have an epic journey without an epic new world to explore. They could fly to a floating metropolis or swim through an underwater empire, trek across a frozen tundra or climb to the top of a majestic mountain—the possibilities are endless! But before they do, they’ll need to draw it first. Luckily for them, the Magical Cartooning Elf is ready to help, with brand-new tips and tricks that will turn simple drawings into boundless worlds.

From rising picture book star Andrew Arnold comes I Have a Question, a book for anyone who’s ever felt too shy, too afraid, or too silly to raise their hand and ask a question. For Stevie, speaking up in class can be scary. So, when Ms. Gail asks, “Are there any questions?” Stevie looks around the classroom, hoping someone will raise their hand. But no one does. No one has a single question. Except Stevie. “I can’t ask, can I? If I do, I know just what will happen,” Stevie thinks, beginning a journey of worried imagination. Everyone will certainly laugh, they''ll think the question is silly, they''ll think Stevie is silly. But Stevie has to know. Stevie has to ask. Written with terrific humor, empathy, and tenderness, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold''s I Have a Question is wonderfully funny and mightily empowering--inspiring anyone who has ever felt too shy, too silly or too afraid to raise their hand.

We study the decentralization of liquor policies in the Post-Prohibition Era, which is the most famous natural experiment ever conducted with respect to policy decentralization in the U.S. Our empirical analysis exploits a unique feature of this policy change, namely that we observe votes of citizens in public referenda as well as roll call votes of the state legislators affecting the same policy. Our analysis is based on a probabilistic voting model. We show how to identify and estimate a model with a multi-dimensional policy space. These estimates then allow us to map the policy space into an alcohol consumption space. We find that this mapping is highly non-linear. Hence, differences in estimated bliss points in the ideological policy space tend to exaggerate differences in preferences over alcohol consumption. Nevertheless, decentralized policies offer the opportunity to account for heterogeneity in preferences and increase welfare. The optimal decentralized policy increases aggregate welfare by up to 79 percent compared to the optimal uniform policy.

What''s the Matter Marlo? is a picture book about best friends that highlights empathy, as well as anger and sadness, and reminds us that these aren''t feelings to run away from, but instead to help each other through. Marlo and Coco are best friends. They do everything together—they read together, laugh together, and play games together. After all, they’re best friends. And that’s what best friends do. But one day, when Coco asks Marlo to play, he doesn’t answer. Instead, Marlo turns away ignoring Coco, until he’s lost in his anger. Coco is worried about her friend, but then she remembers she can always find Marlo. In this charming, thoughtful picture book, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold explores empathy and sadness, and how friends can help each other navigate big emotions. Because that’s what best friends do.

Once upon a time ... a princess tried to make a comic. And with the help of a magical cartooning elf, she learned how--well enough to draw her way out of an encounter with a dangerous dragon, near-death by drowning, and into her very own adventure! Like the princess, young readers will discover that they already have the drawing and writing skills it takes to make a comic -- they just need a little know-how. And Adventures in Cartooning supplies just that--Publisher description.

The importance of two-photon exchange in elastic electron-proton scattering was investigated by measuring the ratio of positron-proton to electron-proton scattering. Four momentum transfers as large as 0.756 (BeV/c) to the 2nd power (19.5 F to the -2nd power) were used. The data indicate that two-photon effects are 4.0 = 1.5% larger than those predicted by the radiative corrections at the highest momentum transfers attained in these experiments. The two-photon corrections predicted, using a static charge distribution, fit the data well at lower momentum transfers and forward angles but appear to be small at higher momentum transfers and backward angles.

A history of the early settlement of Allegheny County, of the midnight raids by the Indians, of the bloody battles, of the hardships and privations endured by the pioneers, and, later on, by the wonderful development and growth of the same during the past century cannot but be interesting to every citizen of the county.
