The book is centred on a fascinating personality, a Western Siberian indigenous poet, reindeer herder and ecological activist, who, in his 40s, made the choice to live in the forest with reindeer. There, he struggled with oil giant LUKoil to ensure his reindeer the possibility to live. A series of essays reflect on his awareness and construction of self and culture, his complex relations with the oil industry, and his native spirituality. It presents insights into what it means to be an indigenous intellectual in post-Soviet Russia at the beginning of the 21st century. Yuri Vella (1948-2013) is not an ordinary representative of his people, but he shows one of the possible forms indigenous leadership could take in Russia, if it aims at giving indigenous peoples the possibility in the near and far future to shape a sustainable relation to nature and their neighbours.

A late-night knock on the door of Father Randall leads him to a woman possessed by a malevolent spirit. Though he attempts to help, he realizes he is unprepared to battle the evil being. After fleeing the violent scene, Father Randall meets a seemingly ordinary young man named Daniel Floore, who offers his assistance. When the priest reluctantly agrees, he is shocked to witness Daniel speaking to the demonic creature in an unearthly language. Daniel successfully expels the spirit without calling on God, but disappears before Father Randall can question him, leaving the priest to ponder the young man's existence and his own faith. Shortly thereafter, Daniel becomes acquainted with and transforms the lives of three young women-Kara, a young woman who relishes her youth; Jade, a girl in an abusive relationship who is seeking spiritual guidance; and Marianne, a woman with a violent history who is being hunted by a satanic cult. As the mystery of Daniel Floore's identity is revealed, the fate of Father Randall, Kara, Jade, and Marianne become intertwined. Their connection leads them to a fierce showdown with forces that are evil beyond anything they could ever have imagined.

One way to acquire a better understanding of the formation and destruction of ionization in the atmosphere is through the solution of the system of time-dependent reaction rate equations. These ordinary differential equations form a simultaneous set each question of which describes the time rate of change of a particular atmospheric constituent. In the general problem, all the molecules and atoms whether neutral, charged, or excited, as well as the free electrons would be included. A computer program is presented for developing the numerical solution to this problem. The method of solution of the set of equations uses a fourth order Runge Kutta integration with a variable mesh. When a species enters its quasi-equilibrium state, its differential equation is removed from the set and its equilibrium equation is inserted into the simultaneous algebraic set. The algebraic set is solved by the method of successive substitutions. The over-all solution is obtained by iteration between the differential and the algebraic sets. The ability of the computer program to develop extensive solutions is demonstrated by several examples taken under different conditions.
In the near decades ahead, democracies worldwide struggle to maintain their existences, challenged by entities such as mega corporations, oligarchs, dictators, and despots. Yan Calder Lince, a billionaire candidate to become the first trillionaire, establishes what he calls a virtual nation. Named the Interdependent Order of Polites, it is a democracy declared by its citizens, not the territories they occupy. The goal is to reduce growing poverty by rebuilding the world’s declining middle classes through employee-owned businesses. Conall Wayland, a hostile corporate takeover hotshot, flagrantly chooses Lince and his followers as his new target. He plots against the IOP on it’s first location on the small Cuban island, the Isle of Pines. From St. Petersburg, Russia, Yuri Petrokov, a novice member of a worldwide crime syndicate, stumbles into the murder mission of a wealthy businessman. The mark of the deadly contract is not to be specified until he arrives on the isle in a stolen, miniature Russian submarine. Both Lince and Wayland are potential prey. Will either of them be the one to die? If so, how and why?
