Sunrise in the Eyes of the Snowman, the latest collection by Bosnian expat Goran Simic, is as much a departure as it is a continuance. In this book, we find the world-renowned poet visiting familiar themes in fresh ways.

A survey of modern cinematic and televisual responses to the concept of the golden age

Goran Dominioni argues that research in behavioral economics, psychology, and neurosciences can offer novel insights on whether court decisions are accurate, non-discriminatory, and maximize social welfare. The author also shows that insights from these areas of research can help to improve trial outcomes if carefully applied to craft trial rules and practices. He covers central themes in behavioral law and economics, such as implicit racial biases, the fundamental attribution error, and gender-related biases.

Pecados y mentiras se combinan para proclamar un aterrador y nuevo principio para toda la humanidad. Los agentes especiales Shaw y McGregor del FBI descubren que su realidad vuelve a retorcerse, arrojándolos a una dimensión de terror completamente nueva. Su guía es Paul Carnahan, el asesino de niños al que buscaban arrestar, un hombre que saben muerto y enterrado. Mientras este monstruo demasiado humano relata su historia, el dúo empieza a entender la red de culpabilidad y maldad en la que están enredados... una verdad que exigirá un terrible precio a ambos. Atormentada por los recuerdos de sus propios actos inmorales, la directora adjunta Driscoll se esfuerza por alcanzar a los agentes bajo su mando, solo para darse cuenta de que puede que sus crímenes ya hayan sellado su destino. Carnahan tiene la clave... pero lo que ahora aparece tras sus ojos es mucho más que un asesinato. Escrito por Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, JIMMY''S BASTARDS) y dibujado por Goran Sudžuka (Y: The Last Man, Hellblazer), el Volumen Dos recopila el último arco argumental de esta epopeya de horror moderno, con los números 6 a 12. Editor original: Aftershock.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic principles of structural biology, as well as an up-to-date summary of some main directions of research in the field. The relationship between structure and function is described in detail for soluble proteins, membrane proteins, membranes, and nucleic acids.There are several books covering protein structure and function, but none that give a complete picture, including nucleic acids, lipids, membranes and carbohydrates, all being of central importance in structural biology.The book covers state-of-the-art research in various areas. It is unique for its breadth of coverage by experts in the fields. The book is richly illustrated with more than 400 color figures to highlight the wide range of structures.

Phillip V. Tobias is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Human Biology at the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School and Fellow of the Royal Society (London). His international achievements include: Charles Darwin Lifetime Achievement Award; Anisfield-Wolf Award in Race Relations; Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences (USA); Commander, National Order of Merit of France and Commander of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy.The book, written in the first person, is based on a collection of interviews with Tobias conducted and recorded over a period of six years. Topics include research into the physical anthropology of living peoples; studies of mammalian chromosomes; an invitation from Louis and Mary Leakey to describe all the hominid fossils they discovered; the identification, description and naming of Homo habilis; re-opening of the Sterkfontein fossil site in SA in 1966; Tobias'' political activism and medical ethics; and his personal philosophy concerning religion and evolution.

These eight stories deal with ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, war and its aftershocks prominent among them, where the reality is often much more surreal than fiction.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of fractal dimensions, self-similarity, and fractal curves. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, mathematicians, and scientists across disciplines, this text requires minimal prerequisites beyond a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics. While fractal geometry may seem esoteric, this book demystifies it by providing a thorough introduction to its mathematical underpinnings and applications. Complete proofs are provided for most of the key results, and exercises of different levels of difficulty are proposed throughout the book. Key topics covered include the Hausdorff metric, Hausdorff measure, and fractal dimensions such as Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions. The text meticulously constructs and analyzes Hausdorff measure, offering readers a deep understanding of its properties. Through emblematic examples like the Cantor set, the Sierpinski gasket, the Koch snowflake curve, and the Weierstrass curve, readers are introduced to self-similar sets and their construction via the iteration of contraction mappings. The book also sets the stage for the advanced theory of complex dimensions and fractal drums by gently introducing it via a variety of classical examples, including well-known fractal curves. By intertwining historical context with rigorous mathematical exposition, this book serves as both a stand-alone resource and a gateway to deeper explorations in fractal geometry.
