An intimate portrait of John F. Kennedy, Jr., from his closest friend with 16 pages of color photos From the iconic image of a little boy saluting his father’s casket to his tragic death at age thirty- eight, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was never far from the public eye. Now the friend who John was flying to see the night he died reveals the private man behind the public myth. Billy and John shared summers in Hyannisport and formed a bond in the Kennedy compound that lasted well into adulthood. With Forever Young, Noonan offers a unique glimpse into the private life of his boyhood friend—his courtship with Carolyn, his relationship with his mother, Jackie, and his struggle with being the son of a great man he hardly remembered. Affectionate yet candid, Noonan’s deeply personal memoir ultimately emerges as the definitive portrait of the son of Camelot.

Paris - once city of light now shuttered and dark under Nazi occupation - breeds deception and betrayal. Into this lethal world, a young teacher struggles to protect her students at an unbearable cost of brutality and sexual submission. Then, an improbable chance for escape when an American she thought lost in the fog of war returns to Paris in a desperate bid to get a German defector out of France to London. In this toxic web of uncertainty, where information is as valuable as money and as dangerous as any weapon, they find themselves torn between impossible choices where the only certainty is loss. Paris Information draws its characters from the safe haven of American isolationism and the stark reality of Nazi-dominated Europe. With taut prose and twists of plot in the tradition of John Le Carré and Alan Furst, Paris Information lays bare the conflict of war in the murky and deadly world of international espionage.

Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered include: (1) import and preprocessing of data from various sources; (2) statistical modeling of differential gene expression; (3) biological metadata; (4) application of graphs and graph rendering; (5) machine learning for clustering and classification problems; (6) gene set enrichment analysis. Each chapter of this book describes an analysis of real data using hands-on example driven approaches. Short exercises help in the learning process and invite more advanced considerations of key topics. The book is a dynamic document. All the code shown can be executed on a local computer, and readers are able to reproduce every computation, figure, and table.
