Alexei, Accidental Angel – Book 6

By: Morgan Bruce

Alexei and Tristan have a secret life as brothers. They are also angels trying to live a life on Earth as ordinary children, and are perhaps the only angels attempting such a life. With each of them having already survived an attempt on their life, and amidst their need for secrecy, events are now coming into place for the biggest challenge they have ever faced. The fulfilment of a prophecy carved in stone tells of righting the wrongs of a distant past. The strange dreams that have given them access to even more knowledge of the past have not only shown them the horrors of those events, but also a way to enact the prophecy. But in doing so, both of them will be exposed to unexpected mortal danger.

Tris 4

Hidden Dangers

By: Morgan Bruce

Tris 4 is the fourth installment in the intriguing new sequel to the seven-book “Alexei” series. With Tris having survived the clutches of Ahaitan, he has since brought down the evildoing of his manipulative uncle, rescued a girl angel, Lara, and helped locate her twin brother, Rylan. In doing so, he also helped rescue a number of kidnapped children from a group of traffickers intent on selling them into slavery. Life for Tris then starts to settle down to normal on Seven Angels Island, a secret place located off the coast of Scotland, with involvement in school, music tuition, and TRNSaC, a rock band. An unwise visit, however, to a place of evil and torture – the church boot camp – results in Tris, Lara, and Rylan attracting the attention of Xaphan, a “turned” angel intent on coercing them into his corrupt ways. With the help of their guardians, the three children must find a way to thwart the intentions of this malevolent entity.

Tris

The Miracle Child

By: Morgan Bruce

The first installment of the intriguing new sequel to the Alexei, Accidental Angel series, aka “The Angel heptalogy” Facing a childless future, Amanda and Joshua’s return to the Scottish island that once harboured the seven boy angels they knew from their childhood days almost 20 years earlier, is made complete when they are able to officially adopt their Godchild. Tris has very quickly been dubbed “The Miracle Child” by the media for being the sole survivor of a catastrophic plane crash that killed his parents and almost two hundred other passengers. Within a few months of his recovery and adaption to life on the island, an even greater miracle occurs when Tris starts to grow wings – an event that perhaps signals the start of a new age of miracles on the island. His gradual metamorphosis into an angel, however, is not as straightforward as it first seems. As his various angelic abilities begin to emerge at an almost surprising rate, somewhere, hidden from even guardian Mykael, there is great danger waiting to be unleashed on the island, and its small, but loyal, community.

The Arthurian Name Dictionary

The Arthurian Name Dictionary

By: Christopher W. Bruce

A comprehensive encyclopedia of characters, places, objects, and themes found in the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table. Draws from all significant source between Gildas' De Excidio Britanniae written about 540 AD and Tennyson's 19th-century Idylls of the King, including versions from throughout Europe. The entries range from a short identifying sentence to nearly ten pages for the king himself. Each is referenced to a source, which are presented in a endtable showing author and tit date, form, and langua description; keywords from the entries; and recent editions, a vital bit of information such references usually neglect. The cross-referencing is fairly good, often done as a full entry identifying a name as a variant of another, so the lack of an index is not a problem. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.

Dénouement

Alexei, Accidental Angel. Book 7

By: Morgan Bruce

Alexei and Tristan have a secret life as brothers. They are also angels trying to live on Earth as ordinary children, perhaps, the only angels attempting to live such a life. But now, they suddenly have four new brothers – also angels – who are not only their “twins,” but in miraculous circumstances, have been brought back to life and forward in time by nearly a thousand years. If Alexei and Tristan, as well as their newly resurrected kin, believe that the fulfillment of the prophecy from the cross signals the end of their trials, they are sadly mistaken. An ancient parchment long concealed in the crypt of the restored church reveals there are still dangerous old enemies to overcome, one more important battle to fight, and one more angel to find if they are to succeed.

The only problem is that for this to happen, a tragic event must also take place.

Revelation

Alexei, Accidental Angel – Book 5

By: Morgan Bruce

Revelation is the fifth book in Morgan Bruce’s seven-part “Accidental Angel” series. Alexei and Tristan have a secret. They are brothers who are also angels trying to live a life on Earth as ordinary children. They have wings and can fly, teleport, and be invisible, and they believe they are the only angels attempting such an undertaking. Amidst their need for secrecy, they have already survived an attempt on their lives by a mad photographer, and the evil intentions of a turned angel. Now it seems they are being readied for a new mission to right the wrongs of a distant past, even though they don’t yet understand how they will go about this new quest. As a further complication, the discovery of an ancient chalice starts to give them unnerving dreams, designed to provide them with knowledge of past events that relate to the future. But this knowledge also exposes them to considerable danger from both human and angelic realms. In all of this, they find an unexpected future ally in a very sick boy in a hospital on the far side of the world.

Responsible Data Science

By: Grant Fleming,Peter C. Bruce

Explore the most serious prevalent ethical issues in data science with this insightful new resource The increasing popularity of data science has resulted in numerous well-publicized cases of bias, injustice, and discrimination. The widespread deployment of “Black box” algorithms that are difficult or impossible to understand and explain, even for their developers, is a primary source of these unanticipated harms, making modern techniques and methods for manipulating large data sets seem sinister, even dangerous. When put in the hands of authoritarian governments, these algorithms have enabled suppression of political dissent and persecution of minorities. To prevent these harms, data scientists everywhere must come to understand how the algorithms that they build and deploy may harm certain groups or be unfair. Responsible Data Science delivers a comprehensive, practical treatment of how to implement data science solutions in an even-handed and ethical manner that minimizes the risk of undue harm to vulnerable members of society. Both data science practitioners and managers of analytics teams will learn how to: Improve model transparency, even for black box models Diagnose bias and unfairness within models using multiple metrics Audit projects to ensure fairness and minimize the possibility of unintended harm Perfect for data science practitioners, Responsible Data Science will also earn a spot on the bookshelves of technically inclined managers, software developers, and statisticians.

Governing Islam Abroad

Turkish and Moroccan Muslims in Western Europe

By: Benjamin Bruce

From sending imams abroad to financing mosques and Islamic associations, home states play a key role in governing Islam in Western Europe. Drawing on over one hundred interviews and years of fieldwork, this book employs a comparative perspective that analyzes the foreign religious activities of the two home states with the largest diaspora populations in Europe: Turkey and Morocco. The research shows how these states use religion to promote ties with their citizens and their descendants abroad while also seeking to maintain control over the forms of Islam that develop within the diaspora. The author identifies and explains the internal and foreign political interests that have motivated state actors on both sides of the Mediterranean, ultimately arguing that interstate cooperation in religious affairs has and will continue to have a structural influence on the evolution of Islam in Western Europe.

Industrial Chemical Separation

Historical Perspective, Fundamentals, and Engineering Practice

By: Timothy C. Frank,Bruce S. Holden

A fresh new treatment written by industry insiders, this work gives readers a remarkably clear view into the world of chemical separation.

The book is for engineers and chemists with current or future responsibility for chemical separation on a commercial scale – in its design, operation, or improvement – or for anyone wanting to learn more about chemical separation from an industrial point of view. The result is a compelling survey of popular technologies and the profession, one that brings the art and craft of chemical separation to life. Ever wonder how popular separation technologies came about, how a particular process functions, or how mass transfer units differ from theoretical stages? Or perhaps you want some pointers on how to begin solving a separation problem. You will find clear explanations and valuable insights into these and other aspects of industrial practice in this refreshing new survey.

Policy Studies: Review Annual

Volume 3

By: Bruce B. Zellner

Every editor of the Policy Studies Review Annual brings a unique perspective to bear in selecting articles to be included. This perspective reflects varying methodological and disciplinary judgments, varying judgments on what the field of policy studies or policy analysis is and where it should be going, and varying judgments regarding the quality of articles which are or claim to be in the field. Because it is the objective to assemble a set of essays which are both interesting and topical, there will be varying perspectives on these matters as well. The volume clearly reflects the editors perspectives. They are explicit about these judgments and perspectives, and then let the content of the volume speak for itself. First, we are both economists. As a result, the general topics selected and the articles chosen under each topic tend to emphasize economics more than the other disciplines involved in the field of policy studies—sociology, psychology, political science, law, and so on. This emphasis is clearly seen by comparing the contents of volume I (edited by Stuart Nagel, a political scientist) and volume II (edited by Howard Freeman, a sociologist) with that of this volume. Second, the editors have a particular view of what policy studies or policy analysis is. That view has several aspects. In the first place, they feel that the field of policy studies or policy analysis must define itself, and this definition will develop as researchers do just what the title of the field says—study or analyze policies. A corollary of this view is that we place a low weight on papers which discuss the policy process or reforms in policy-making, relative to papers which analyze a policy, a policy proposal, or a problem which leads to calls for policy action.

Financing Higher Education

Cost-Sharing in International Perspective

By: D. Bruce Johnstone

The underlying theory of cost-sharing as well as the description of its worldwide reach were developed from 1986 through 2006 mainly by the works of Johnstone and his Ford Foundation financed International Higher Education Finance and Accessibility Project at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The principal papers from this project are reproduced in this volume. They examine the worldwide shift in the burden of higher education costs from governments and taxpayers to parents and students, and the policies of grants, loans and other governmental interventions designed to maintain higher educational accessibility in the face of this shift.

Ecology of Indonesian Papua Part One

By: Andrew J. Marshall,Bruce M. Beehler

The Ecology of Papua provides a comprehensive review of current scientific knowledge on all aspects of the natural history of western (Indonesian) New Guinea. Designed for students of conservation, environmental workers, and academic researchers, it is a richly detailed text, dense with biogeographical data, historical reference, and fresh insight on this complicated and marvelous region. We hope it will serve to raise awareness of Papua on a global as well as local scale, and to catalyze effective conservation of its most precious natural assets. New Guinea is the largest and highest tropical island, and one of the last great wilderness areas remaining on Earth. Papua, the western half of New Guinea, is noteworthy for its equatorial glaciers, its vast forested floodplains, its imposing central mountain range, its Raja Ampat Archipelago, and its several hundred traditional forest-dwelling societies. One of the wildest places left in the world, Papua possesses extraordinary biological and cultural diversity. Today, Papua’s environment is under threat from growing outside pressures to exploit its expansive forests and to develop large plantations of oil palm and biofuels. It is important that Papua’s leadership balance economic development with good resource management, to ensure the long-term well-being of its culturally diverse populace.
