Peering into Mathematics through Sage-colored Glasses

By: John Perry,John Harris,Karen Kohl

Technology has become an indispensable aspect of most mathematics education. This is a full-color textbook, abundant with graphics, algorithms, and assignments, that both introduces Sage, a free, open-source computer algebra system, and reinforces important mathematical ideas of undergraduate mathematics, including some that a transitioning student will not yet have seen. This book should be useful for any situation where an individual is moving from "high school" mathematics, in which we include basic calculus, to "university" mathematics, which includes intermediate calculus and a lot of stuff besides, and is willing to experiment with a computer.

Righteous Prey

A Lucas Davenport & Virgil Flowers thriller

By: John Sandford

*** Pre-order the gripping new Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers thriller, Judgment Prey, coming October 2023 *** The hunters become the hunted in this high-stakes Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers thriller from Number One bestselling author John Sandford. ‘We're going to murder people who need to be murdered.’ A group of vigilantes known only as ‘The Five’ are targeting the worst of society – rapists, murderers and thieves – and they use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they’ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the Dark Web. Soon, they are the most popular figures on social media . . . but their motives may not be entirely pure. After a woman is murdered in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent to investigate. The killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, The Five are virtually untraceable. If anyone can stop The Five, it will be Davenport and Flowers – but where will the trail lead them . . . PRAISE FOR JOHN SANDFORD AND THE PREY SERIES: ‘One of the great novelists of all time’ Stephen King ‘A series writer who reads like a breath of fresh air’ Daily Mirror ‘John Sandford knows all there is to know about detonating the gut-level shocks of a good thriller’ New York Times Book Review ‘John Sandford has the Midas touch’ Huffington Post ‘Delivers twists to the very last sentence’ Daily Mail ‘Crime writer John Sandford is one of the best around’ Sun

Judgement Prey

A Lucas Davenport & Virgil Flowers thriller

By: John Sandford

‘One of the great novelists of all time’ STEPHEN KING ‘One of the finest thriller series in existence. Sandford is superb - in a class of his own’ JOHN CONNOLLY Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers team up to crack an unsolvable case in this thrilling new novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford. When federal judge Alex Sand and his two young sons are shot in cold blood at their family home, the brutality of the murders leaves their wealthy St. Paul community reeling. There's no shortage of people with a vendetta against the judge, but the collapse of a major charitable donation he had planned complicates things further, leaving the money in limbo and all eyes on his grief-stricken widow. As public pressure mounts and both the local police force and the FBI hit one dead end after another, it isn't long before Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in. The duo are determined to chase down every angle and every theory until they figure out who killed the Sands. But when they find themselves stonewalled by the most unlikely of forces, they begin to wonder if each misdirection might actually lead them closer to the truth . . .

A Practical Approach to Criminal Procedure

By: John Sprack

Now in its fourteenth edition, A Practical Approach to Criminal Procedure provides a complete guide to the criminal process in England and Wales. It explains what happens before the accused appears in court, the way in which prosecutions are commenced, funding by the criminal defence service, and bail. It describes proceedings in the magistrates' court, including summary trial and committal for sentence, as well as the way in which the youth court operates. Committal and transfer for trial are clearly explained and the process by which serious offences are sent direct to the Crown Court is also studied. Trial on indictment is discussed in detail, as are sentencing and appeals. This new edition has been fully updated to incorporate recent developments in the field. In particular, attention is paid to the changes resulting from the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act, as well as to recent Sentencing Guidelines. Changes to the PACE codes are also considered in detail. Very much a practical guide, this title makes frequent use of examples, flowcharts, and tables, and is specifically designed to assist the busy professional and student. A Practical Approach to Criminal Procedure is an indispensable resource for those working in this field. The A Practical Approach series is the perfect partner for practice work. Each title focuses on one field of the law and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject together with clear, practical advice and tips on issues likely to arise in practice. The books are also an excellent resource for those new to the law, where the expert overview and clear layout promote ease of understanding.
