Book excerpt: Michael Schumacher has established himself as the outstanding Grand Prix driver of the 1990s. He has dominated the sport like no other driver since Fangio in the 1950s.By the start of the 1997 season, experts and onlookers alike regarded him as the best around, untouchable on his day, able to win races against drivers in superior machinery, able to master changing conditions while the others get confused. He demonstrated the rare blend of exceptional ability and nerve that defines a champion in any sport. He seemed to be on the brink of winning the World Championship.Then, in a split second at Jerez, everything changed. In an incident which was to be replayed and analysed time and again throughout the world's media, Schumacher's Ferrari collided with Williams, putting arch rival Villeneuve out of the race. Schumacher shrugged off what he called a 'mistake'. The press thought otherwise. By the next day he was cast as a villain in the eyes of the world.Under pressure to act, the FIA punished Schumacher severely. He became the first man in the history of the sport to be removed from the championship results for unsportsmanlike driving.At the start of the 1998 season Schumacher found himself playing the role of outcast. Armed with a more competitive Ferrari and with a passionate tea behind him, was it still possible for him to confirm his unique talent, to win races and, possibly, to win the Championship outright?Backed with the full co-operation of Schumacher and his staff, ITV pits commentator James Allen will give the full inside story of Ferrari's 1998 season - a year that could well see the redemption of Michael Schumacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This time, we consciously and deliberately turn a bit away from the clamor of the times and back towards the search for truth, and away from speculation about temporary political skirmishes. Even though, of course, this is hardly possible in a world where everything is interconnected... Therefore, we do consider the broader picture here to some extent. We turn away from the madness of genocide and look at history. For there too, we may find clues about how the course of the world tends to unfold. We have already examined Egypt and Atlantis several times, but that does not prevent us from developing new thoughts about them. We also want to critically examine society, from the state of democracy to the societal handling of critical and outspoken opinions, all the way to the widely overlooked importance of nudity for our lives and well-being. From enlightenment and the old TV series ALF, to homosexuality and Gray aliens, we continually address the practical and pressing questions of our *confused* times from various angles. A meandering around the truth. Different perspectives and aspects on one and the same thing: our world, our life, reality, and the problems of our times…

Book excerpt: Chicago wizard Harry Dresden gets a taste of the dead life in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. In his life, Harry’s been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured. And after someone puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill. Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on—a feat which would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death. Now, the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic—or face an eternity as just another lost soul...

Book excerpt: As if crime and race in the US were not volatile enough issues independently, there is their explosive interface. This is the territory staked out by Russell (criminology and criminal justice, U. of Maryland), who probes racial stereotypes (some perpetuated by "scientific racism"), the hoaxes they have spawned, differing views of police actions by race, and affirmative race law. A public-police contact survey and case summaries of recent racial hoaxes are appended. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome and America provides a timely exploration of the Roman and American founding myths in the cultural imagination. Defying the usual ideological categories, Dean Hammer argues for the exceptional nature of the myths as a journey of Strangers, but also traces the tensions created by the myths in attempts to answer the question of who We are. The wide-ranging chapters reassess both Roman antecedents and American expressions of the myth in some unexpected places: early American travelogues, westerns, bare-knuckle boxing, early American theater, government documents detailing Native American policy, and the writings of Noah Webster, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Charles Eastman. This innovative volume culminates in an interpretation of the current crisis of democracy as a reversion of the community back to Strangers, with suggestions of how the myth can recast a much-needed discussion of identity and belonging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate extremes often imply significant impacts on human and natural systems, and these extreme events are anticipated to be among the potentially most harmful consequences of a changing climate. However, while extreme event impacts are increasingly recognized, methodologies to address such impacts and the degree of our understanding and prediction capabilities vary widely among different sectors and disciplines. Moreover, traditional climate extreme indices and large-scale multi-model intercomparisons that are used for future projections of extreme events and associated impacts often fall short in capturing the full complexity of impact systems. Climate Extremes and Their Implications for Impact and Risk Assessment describes challenges, opportunities and methodologies for the analysis of the impacts of climate extremes across various sectors to support their impact and risk assessment. It thereby also facilitates cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary discussions and exchange among climate and impact scientists. The sectors covered include agriculture, terrestrial ecosystems, human health, transport, conflict, and more broadly covering the human-environment nexus. The book concludes with an outlook on the need for more transdisciplinary work and international collaboration between scientists and practitioners to address emergent risks and extreme events towards risk reduction and strengthened societal resilience. Provides an overview about past, present and future changes in climate and weather extremes and how to connect that knowledge to impact and risk assessment under global warming Presents different approaches to assess societal-relevant impacts and risk of climate and weather extremes, including compound events, and the complexity of risk cascades and the interconnectedness of societal risk Features applications across a diversity of sectors, including agriculture, health, ecosystem services and urban transport

Book excerpt: Driven, first published in 1954, is a fast-paced noir novel centered on George Carpenter, an assistant manager of a bank. Desperate to get out of the rut his life is in, and beset by financial problems, Carpenter develops a scheme to rob the bank of a massive amount of money. Although he successfully manages the heist, he has no plan for what to do with either the money or his life following the robbery. Why did he do it? George himself wasn’t sure. He knew only that, all at once, in every aspect of his life, pressures were building up: his immediate superior at the bank hated him; his wife, he was sure, was being unfaithful to him. Debts piled up, and George began hitting the bottle—hard. Suddenly, even this retreat was not enough, and George began to act mechanically, to take one step after another toward revenge and release. During the dizzy, dreamlike weeks that followed, George embarked on a headlong flight into unreality. Under a series of assumed names he ran from drink to drink, from woman to woman, from city to city, and he learned what unlimited money can buy—and what it cannot. Saved finally from total self-destruction by his capture, and by a girl who shows him the futility of running any further, George pays his debt to society and comes to terms with himself; the moving story of his great rebellion comes to an end on a note of hope.

Book excerpt: What makes the 21st century different from the 20th century? This century is the century of extremes -- political, economic, social, and global black-swan events happening with increasing frequency and severity. Book of Extremes is a tour of the current reality as seen through the lens of complexity theory – the only theory capable of explaining why the Arab Spring happened and why it will happen again; why social networks in the virtual world behave like flashmobs in the physical world; why financial bubbles blow up in our faces and will grow and burst again; why the rich get richer and will continue to get richer regardless of governmental policies; why the future of economic wealth and national power lies in comparative advantage and global trade; why natural disasters will continue to get bigger and happen more frequently; and why the Internet – invented by the US -- is headed for a global monopoly controlled by a non-US corporation. It is also about the extreme innovations and heroic innovators yet to be discovered and recognized over the next 100 years.Complexity theory combines the predictable with the unpredictable. It assumes a nonlinear world of long-tailed distributions instead of the classical linear world of normal distributions. In the complex 21st century, almost nothing is linear or normal. Instead, the world is highly connected, conditional, nonlinear, fractal, and punctuated. Life in the 21st century is a long-tailed random walk – Levy walks -- through extreme events of unprecedented impact. It is an exciting time to be alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Extreme' events - including climatic events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, drought - can cause massive disruption to society, including large death tolls and property damage in the billions of dollars. Events in recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This volume presents an integrated review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for predicting, controlling and managing both manmade and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders and health-care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention or mitigation of large-scale disasters.
