When humankind’s first contact with a strange alien species goes awry, detective and Ark hero Brian Benson is left to pick up the pieces Against all odds, the Ark and her thirty-thousand survivors have reached Tau Ceti G to begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding human civilization. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Tau Ceti G’s natives, the G’tel, are coming to grips with the sudden appearance of what many believe are their long-lost Gods. But first contact between humans and G’tel goes catastrophically wrong, visiting death on both sides. Rumors swirl that the massacre was no accident. The Ark’s greatest hero, Bryan Benson, takes on the mystery. Partnered with native ‘truth-digger’ Kexx, and against both of their better judgment, Benson is thrust into the heart of an alien culture with no idea how to tell who wants to worship him from who wants him dead. Together, Benson and Kexx will have to find enough common ground and trust to uncover a plot that threatens to plunge both of their peoples into an apocalyptic war that neither side can afford to fight.

Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Rehabilitation

Promoting Recovery and Self-Determination

By: Patrick W. Corrigan,Nicolas Rüsch,Amy C. Watson,Kristin Kosyluk,Lindsay Sheehan

The leading text and go-to practitioner resource on psychiatric rehabilitation is now in a thoroughly revised third edition, bringing readers up to date on current ideas, findings, and evidence-based best practices. The expert authors present the knowledge needed to help adults with psychiatric disabilities develop their strengths and achieve their life goals. The book describes effective ways to assess personal needs and aspirations; integrate medical and psychosocial interventions; implement supportive services in such areas as housing, employment, education, substance use, and physical health; and combat stigma and discrimination. "Personal Examples" throughout the text share the experiences of diverse individuals recovering from serious mental illness. New to This Edition *Increased attention to social determinants of health; for example, the impact of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, poverty, and criminal justice involvement. *Chapter on developing more equitable, culturally competent services. *Expanded coverage of physical health and wellness. *New and expanded discussions of community-based participatory research, peer recovery support providers, and other timely topics.

Tropical Forests in Prehistory, History, and Modernity

By: Patrick Roberts

In popular discourse, tropical forests are synonymous with 'nature' and 'wilderness'; battlegrounds between apparently pristine floral, faunal, and human communities, and the unrelenting industrial and urban powers of the modern world. It is rarely publicly understood that the extent of human adaptation to, and alteration of, tropical forest environments extends across archaeological, historical, and anthropological timescales. This book is the first attempt to bring together evidence for the nature of human interactions with tropical forests on a global scale, from the emergence of hominins in the tropical forests of Africa to modern conservation issues. Following a review of the natural history and variability of tropical forest ecosystems, this book takes a tour of human, and human ancestor, occupation and use of tropical forest environments through time. Far from being pristine, primordial ecosystems, this book illustrates how our species has inhabited and modified tropical forests from the earliest stages of its evolution. While agricultural strategies and vast urban networks emerged in tropical forests long prior to the arrival of European colonial powers and later industrialization, this should not be taken as justification for the massive deforestation and biodiversity threats imposed on tropical forest ecosystems in the 21st century. Rather, such a long-term perspective highlights the ongoing challenges of sustainability faced by forager, agricultural, and urban societies in these environments, setting the stage for more integrated approaches to conservation and policy-making, and the protection of millennia of ecological and cultural heritage bound up in these habitats.

The Molecular and Clinical Pathology of Neurodegenerative Disease

By: Patrick A. Lewis,Jennifer E. Spillane

The Molecular and Clinical Pathology of Neurodegenerative Disease brings together in one volume our current understanding of the molecular basis of neurodegeneration in humans, targeted at neuroscientists and graduate students in neuroscience, and the biomedical and biological sciences. Bringing together up-to-date molecular biology data with clinical evidence, this book sheds a light on common molecular mechanisms that underlie many different neurodegenerative diseases and addresses the molecular pathologies in each. The combined research and clinical background of the authors provides a unique perspective in relating clinical experiences with the molecular understanding needed to examine these diseases and is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about neurodegeneration. - Provides an up-to-date summary of neurodegeneration at a molecular, cellular, and tissue level for the most common human disorders - Describes the clinical background and underlying molecular processes for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, Prion, Motor Neuron, Huntington's, and Multiple Sclerosis - Highlights the state-of-the-art treatment options for each disorder - Details examples of relevant cutting edge experimental systems, including genome editing and human pluripotent stem cell-derived neuronal models

Pre-Earthquake Processes

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Earthquake Prediction Studies

By: Dimitar Ouzounov,Sergey Pulinets,Katsumi Hattori,Patrick Taylor

Pre-Earthquake signals are advanced warnings of a larger seismic event. A better understanding of these processes can help to predict the characteristics of the subsequent mainshock. Pre-Earthquake Processes: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Earthquake Prediction Studies presents the latest research on earthquake forecasting and prediction based on observations and physical modeling in China, Greece, Italy, France, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, and the United States. Volume highlights include: Describes the earthquake processes and the observed physical signals that precede them Explores the relationship between pre-earthquake activity and the characteristics of subsequent seismic events Encompasses physical, atmospheric, geochemical, and historical characteristics of pre-earthquakes Illustrates thermal infrared, seismo–ionospheric, and other satellite and ground-based pre-earthquake anomalies Applies these multidisciplinary data to earthquake forecasting and prediction Written for seismologists, geophysicists, geochemists, physical scientists, students and others, Pre-Earthquake Processes: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Earthquake Prediction Studies offers an essential resource for understanding the dynamics of pre-earthquake phenomena from an international and multidisciplinary perspective.

Database Sockets and Web Application Development

Papers and Presentations

By: Patrick M. Benson

Patrick M. Benson originated database sockets, enabling enterprise-scale and e-commerce capable web systems. In the mid-1990's he gave four national presentations and presented two papers detailing how n-tier web systems could be built and the role database sockets played. These became part of the web developer's toolbox. This collection pulls together for the first time all six documents. It includes contemporaneous speaker notes, updates to the papers and presentations notes reflecting questions and answers at the conferences, and update comments from June 2012. Included are: • "Perl as a System Glue" from the First O'Reilly Perl Conference. The paper and presentation are the genesis of database sockets and distributed computing in UNIX and related open source tools. • "OASIS – A Web Based Fixed Assets System" from the Indiana University 1998 WebDevShare conference. The paper and presentation that provided the first deep technical details describing how database sockets worked. It includes the C-code necessary to implement server side database sockets.• "OASIS – A Web Based Fixed Assets System" from the 1998 EduComm/EduCause national conference. Here Benson provided a management view into sample systems and web development and activities. This includes Benson's Best Practices model • "Performance Driven Design Issues in Web Development" from the 1999 WebDevShare conference. This presentation addressed challents of moving web systems from development into production. Here Benson introduced both real-world n-tier, multiport and multithread sockets as a solution to issues faced by web developers.
