Before he was the world's foremost Catholic biographer, Joseph Pearce was a leader of the National Front, a British-nationalist, white-supremacist group. Before he published books highlighting and celebrating the great Catholic cultural tradition, he disseminated literature extolling the virtues of the white race, and calling for the banishment of all non-white from Britain. Pearce and his cohorts were at the center of the racial and nationalist tensions—often violent—that swirled around London in the late-1970s and early 80s. Eventually Pearce became a top member of the National Front, and the editor of its newspaper, The Bulldog. He was a full-time revolutionary. In 1982 he was impriso...
James Watson, a discoverer of the structure of DNA, described it as "the most golden of molecules," the true chemical for life. Indeed, it is the essential component from which our genes are made. In it is encoded the genetic language that controls our destinies. Astonishingly powerful, just six millionths of a gram of DNA carries as much information as ten volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary. The "Book of Man," is the term used by Walter Bodmer and Robin McKie for the DNA that is the instruction set according to which all humans are made. At conception, a single cell--the fertilized egg--is produced, and it is this one cell that has the potential to form a new and unique individual und...

David Markham, a Vietnam-era veteran, and a regular computer geek, wants to shoot guns, blow up stuff, have access to every digital device on earth, end terrorism, eat breakfast at Lowell's, and watch football, especially the Seattle Seahawks. Only his computer-Igor-knows how much money he has. Igor is the real brains of the operation. The computer organizes everything by having access to every computer and device on the planet including printers, cameras, microphones, GPS, and other satellite data. If David wants something done, Igor gets it done. David uses government agencies (FBI, CIA, Interpol, the Secret Service), the homeless, and teams of complete strangers to accomplish his goals concerning people. He uses Naw teams (naw is Welsh for the number 9) to carry out different missions in his plans to defeat terrorism on US soil. Teams of nine people only know their part of the mission and enough about the other team members to accomplish the objective.

This book, by acclaimed author Frank Cunningham, is the biography of “Big Dan” Cunningham and a history of the railroad in Denver and Salt Lake City.
The annual conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) is the flagship conference on neural computation. It draws preeminent academic researchers from around the world and is widely considered to be a showcase conference for new developments in network algorithms and architectures. The broad range of interdisciplinary research areas represented includes computer science, neuroscience, statistics, physics, cognitive science, and many branches of engineering, including signal processing and control theory. Only about 30 percent of the papers submitted are accepted for presentation at NIPS, so the quality is exceptionally high. These proceedings contain all of the papers that were presented.
About one-third of all homeless American adults are vets, a serious problem which is a national disgrace. Homeless vets are mostly male, single; come from poor, disadvantaged communities; 40% suffer from mental illness and slightly more than half suffer from alcohol &/or other drug abuse problems. The Veterans Administration held a national summit in Feb. 1994 to discuss homelessness among vets. This report briefly summarizes what was learned from the summit, including priorities for action, consensus principles upon which to base intervention strategies, and suggested guidelines for implementation of summit recommendations.
