Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

May 1868 -- an Aboriginal Australian cricket team begins a tour of England. One of the players is on a quest to explore his Truth, or Dreaming.Sarah Larkin's quiet routine, divided between her father's sick room and the British Library, takes on a completely new aspect when King Cole, aka Brippoki, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, requesting her help. A curious friendship develops as together they research the fate and fortune of Joseph Druce, a convicted felon, transported to New South Wales nearly eighty years earlier: sneak thief, drunkard, cattle rustler, Royal Navy deserter -- and quite possibly a murderer.From Lord's cricket ground to the Royal Naval Hospital at Greenwich and the muddy banks of the River Thames -- the Great Serpent coiled at the heart of his London Dreaming -- diabolical spirits rage in pursuit of the hapless Aborigine. His health and sanity unravelling, Brippoki is a man out of place, and running out of time.In this powerful debut novel, Ed Hillyer has created an epic brimming with memorable characters and historical intrigue, and etched with documentary detail that brings both Regency and Victorian London vividly to life.

The Battle for Room 314

My Year of Hope and Despair in a New York City High School

By: Ed Boland

In this insightfully honest and moving memoir about the realities of teaching in an inner-city school, Ed Boland "smashes the dangerous myth of the hero-teacher [and] shows us how high the stakes are for our most vulnerable students" (Piper Kerman, author of Orange is the New Black). In a fit of idealism, Ed Boland left a twenty-year career as a non-profit executive to teach in a tough New York City public high school. But his hopes quickly collided headlong with the appalling reality of his students' lives and a hobbled education system unable to help them. Freddy runs a drug ring for his incarcerated brother; Nee-cole is homeschooled on the subway by her brilliant homeless mother; Byron's Ivy League dream is dashed because he is undocumented. In the end, Boland isn't hoisted on his students' shoulders and no one passes AP anything. This is no urban fairy tale of at-risk kids saved by a Hollywood hero, but a searing indictment of schools that claim to be progressive but still fail their students. Told with compassion, humor, and a keen eye, Boland's story is sure to ignite debate about the future of American education and attempts to reform it.

Slow Descent and Other Little Stories

By: Ed Fair

Slow Descent - He came to west Texas for a little vacation. He saw her begging on the Juarez bridge. He had a plan … but she had one too. Hungry - He had lived on the streets from a very young age, and each day he struggled to stay alive for another day… suddenly, everything changed in a most unforseeable way. Breaking Out - She had lived in her husband’s shadow from the day they met… then she found a most unusual way to break free. What life changing and extraordinary event does each of these characters encounter? A collection of ten poetic, dynamic and colorful little stories, each included in both English and Spanish. The writer’s life experiences in central Texas in the 1960s and 1970s, not that far from the Texas-Mexico border, influenced the theme and setting of most of the stories. Many of them take place in Texas and the southwest, although others could happen anywhere. You will enjoy this collection because you will find yourself transplanted into each story, walking with these many diverse characters, jolted by the next unexpected twist and each unpredictable ending.

An Alternative History of Pittsburgh

By: Ed Simon

“[An] epic, atomic history of the Steel City . . . a work of literature, a series of linked creative nonfiction essays, an historical story cycle.” ―Phillip Maciak, Los Angeles Review of Books The land surrounding the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers has supported communities of humans for millennia. Over the past four centuries, however, it has been transformed countless times by the many people who call it home. In this brief, lyrical, and idiosyncratic collection, Ed Simon, a staff writer at The Millions, follows the story of Pittsburgh through a series of interconnected segments, covering all manner of beloved people, places, and things, including: • Paleolithic Pittsburgh • The Whiskey Rebellion • The attempted assassination of Henry Frick • The Harmonists • The Mystery, Pittsburgh’s radical, Black nationalist newspaper • The myth of Joe Magarac • Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Andy Warhol, and much, much more. Accessible and funny, An Alternative History of Pittsburgh is a must-read for anyone curious about this storied city, and for Pittsburghers who think they know it all too well already. “[A] rich and idiosyncratic history . . . Even Pittsburgh history buffs will learn something new.” —Publishers Weekly “Simon tells the story of the city and all the changes that made it what it is today in a way that's entirely new, by the hand of someone who is deeply familiar.” ―Juliana Rose Pignataro, Newsweek “A sparkling new take on everyone’s favorite Rust Belt metropolis.” ―Justin Velluci, Jewish Chronicle “A brilliant look at how geology and art, politics and religion, disaster and luck combine to build America’s great cities―one that will leave you wondering what secrets your own hometown might be hiding.” ―Anjali Sachdeva, author of All the Names They Used for God

Chincoteague Summer of 1948

A Waterman's Childhood Stories

By: Ed Waterhouse

The amusing historical adventures of a white boy and his two black friends in the Summer of 1948 on Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Let this book make you a twelve-year old again and take you back to 1948. Your host is old salt Thurston Watson, a life-long professional "waterman." His humorous, opinionated narration will give you unusual insights about life during that era on Chincoteague Island as he and his Afro-American friends Ben and Lottie Dale lead you on a romp through small town Americana at a time when life was very much simpler. Though fictionalized, the vignettes and escapades are based on the author's childhood experiences and his knowledge of Chincoteague Island lore. The stories will enchant you and teach you some unvarnished history about the Eastern Shore of Virginia as it was soon after World War II. Along the way, Thurston Watson will help you better understand the quirks and mores of Chincoteague natives and you will learn how a "waterman" earned his living.

Astrostatistics

Astrostatistics

By: Gutti Jogesh Babu,E.D. Feigelson

Modern astronomers encounter a vast range of challenging statistical problems, yet few are familiar with the wealth of techniques developed by statisticians. Conversely, few statisticians deal with the compelling problems confronted in astronomy. Astrostatistics bridges this gap. Authored by a statistician-astronomer team, it provides professionals and advanced students in both fields with exposure to issues of mutual interest. In the first half of the book the authors introduce statisticians to stellar, galactic, and cosmological astronomy and discuss the complex character of astronomical data. For astronomers, they introduce the statistical principles of nonparametrics, multivariate analysis, time series analysis, density estimation, and resampling methods. The second half of the book is organized by statistical topic. Each chapter contains examples of problems encountered astronomical research and highlights methodological issues. The final chapter explores some controversial issues in astronomy that have a strong statistical component. The authors provide an extensive bibliography and references to software for implementing statistical methods. The "marriage" of astronomy and statistics is a natural one and benefits both disciplines. Astronomers need the tools and methods of statistics to interpret the vast amount of data they generate, and the issues related to astronomical data pose intriguing challenges for statisticians. Astrostatistics paves the way to improved statistical analysis of astronomical data and provides a common ground for future collaboration between the two fields.
