Deeper Cuts

Night, Morning, Story & Impact

By: Peter M. Ball

Peter M. Ball made his debut as a speculative fiction writer in 2007, but he’d already been writing for over a decade before turning his attention to science fiction and fantasy. This chapbook brings two early, formative short stories back into print, featuring the discontinuous, post-modern grunge-lit of Night, Morning, Story and the crude horror of Impact. The chapbook also includes a short author’s note, positioning these early works in the landscape of Ball’s later career and his first steps away from writing poetry. Ideal for fans who enjoy not just the deep cuts of an author’s back catalogue, but delving all the way back to see early influences and techniques in their nascent form.

White Harbor War

A Dana Valkyrie Adventure

By: Peter M. Ball

The Viking Maiden’s crew has received some long-awaited shore leave and all Dana Valkyrie wants to do is kick her heels up, stay out of trouble, and devour the steaks and vegetables you just can't get in the middle of space. She might be the Maiden's champion, the best fighter on the toughest ship to sail the spaceways, but even Dana knows better than to pick a fight in a port as strict as White Harbor. Her plans soon go awry when the local security division sends an agent to tail Dana through her shore leave, one of her subordinates proves determined to get into a brawl, and even her Captain volunteers Dana for a back dock MMA fight with the pride of the ship at stake. Dana knows the smart play is saying no, but as the stakes get higher and the Captain endangers the ship’s very livelihood, Dana’s got no choice but to put up her dukes and fight… even if it means prison if they’re caught. A science fiction MMA novella in the tradition of the great fighting stories of the pulp era, White Harbor War is the first entry in the ongoing saga of a two-fisted engineer, a mysterious Captain, and a crew full of trouble who take pride in being the toughest fighters in the universe.

Winged, With Sharp Teeth

Short Fiction Lab 001

By: Peter M. Ball

Fiction writers are taught to show, not tell. In each Short Fiction Lab, award-winning short fiction writer Peter M. Ball presents an original story and an accompanying essay showcasing a particular aspect of the craft or business of writing inspired by the creative work. The Story: Winged, With Sharp Teeth There have always been lands not mapped out in an atlas, and those lands have always needed heroes. Once, Steve had that chance to visit another world, but he stayed and grow older, finding contentment in his friends and his job as council librarian. In Winged, With Sharp Teeth, Steve learns his new boyfriend had a similar opportunity… and the winged crocodile determined to tempt Duke into becoming a hero hasn’t abandoned the quest just because Duke’s an adult. The Essay: Two Hundred Copies or Bust In Two Hundred Copies or Bust, Peter M. Ball asks what success really looks like for a writer, whether they’re traditionally published, self-published, or just starting out. From the expectations of other people to the secret ambitions that drive the writer, Ball explores the tensions that wear on a writer’s ambitions and shift our perceptions of whether a story is good, great, or disastrous.

Discourse in Intercultural Encounters

By: Katharina Bremer,Celia Roberts,Marie-Therese Vasseur,Margaret Simnot,Peter Broeder

This is a detailed study of understanding in a second language, related to the actual lives of minority workers. The focus is on everyday interactions between these workers and the bureaucrats of the society in which they are now resident. It provides an important contribution to the debate about the function of language as a social practice, adding a new perspective to the psycholinguistic and experimental paradigms, currently existing in second language acquisition research.

Computational Methods for Understanding Bacterial and Archaeal Genomes

By: Ying Xu,J. Peter Gogarten

Over 500 prokaryotic genomes have been sequenced to date, and thousands more have been planned for the next few years. While these genomic sequence data provide unprecedented opportunities for biologists to study the world of prokaryotes, they also raise extremely challenging issues such as how to decode the rich information encoded in these genomes. This comprehensive volume includes a collection of cohesively written chapters on prokaryotic genomes, their organization and evolution, the information they encode, and the computational approaches needed to derive such information. A comparative view of bacterial and archaeal genomes, and how information is encoded differently in them, is also presented. Combining theoretical discussions and computational techniques, the book serves as a valuable introductory textbook for graduate-level microbial genomics and informatics courses.

The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Tales

By: Peter M. Ball

12 short stories those who love strange, heartbreaking, and unforgettable fantasy. What if kaiju decimated your hometown, but only half the population could see them? What if mermaids unleashed their wrath against Copenhagen using mechanoid war-machines? What if the man you loved wanted nothing more than running away to live with the faeries, but you were the one they wanted to take with them? The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Tales gathers together twelve wild and genre-bending fantasy tales from the pen of Peter M Ball, the Ditmar and Aurealis Award-winning author of the cult hit Horn and the Keith Murphy urban fantasy thrillers. These scintillating tales draw inspiration from myth, pop-culture, magic realism and Lovecraftian horrors, showcasing Peter M. Ball’s talent for blurring the line between genres and finding the sublime in both the everyday and the extraordinary. Come meet a man with a birdcage where his heart should be, the resident of Isla Tortuga’s most dangerous bordello, clockwork goats and smokestack magi, dragonkeepers, vengeful musicians, and frustrated public servants. Walk paths through briar-choked cities, deceptively ordinary towns, and an endless stairwell populated by tourists. Prepare yourself for the wickedly inventive magic and startlingly human moments. Whether you’re already a fan of Peter M. Ball, or you’re just about to become one, The Birdcage Heart & Other Strange Tales is a debut collection that shouldn’t be missed. PRAISE FOR PETER M.

Unicorns, Fey, & A Hardboiled Dame

The Miriam Aster Duology

By: Peter M. Ball

If you love hard-boiled detectives, dangerous fey, and cold cases that turn hot on a dime, then take this opportunity to introduce yourself to Peter M. Ball’s Miriam Aster stories. This omnibus collects the two books in Miriam Aster’s case files. HORN Award-winning author Peter M. Ball takes you into the world of exiled fey and dangerous magic in his cult novella Horn. Miriam Aster used to be a homicide cop, but a relationship with the queen of the fey and one too many off-the-books favours saw her drummed out of the force and pushed into private inquiry work. Now she’s burned out, barely coping, and all too happy to put her past behind her … until a late-night phone call pulls her in to consult in a recent murder. The victim is a young girl brutally murdered and infested with fey, and the killer is the one thing Aster knows should never be let loose on the mortal world. There’s a unicorn killing young women, and her former colleagues in the police department are ill-equipped to stop it. Unless Aster agrees to step back into the fey world, there’s going to be a lot more murders before things really hit the fan. BLEED Miriam Aster returns in a sequel to the cult hit Horn. Ten years ago, Miriam Aster agreed to kill three men in order to protect the secrets of the fey. It’s the greatest mistake of her life, and the reason she’s now a drunk PI instead of a homicide cop. As far as she’s concerned, the mistakes of her past stay in her past and the fey can go screw themselves. But when an old case comes back to haunt her and the spectres of the past loom in the shadows, Aster must join forces with a desperate stuntwoman and a talking cat to stop the half-breed sorcerer who needs Aster’s blood to exact revenge. Turns out there are worse things than committing murder…

The Early Experiments

A Short Fiction Lab Primer

By: Peter M. Ball

Fiction writers are taught to show, not tell. In each Short Fiction Lab, award winning short fiction writer Peter M. Ball takes one of his own stories and explores an aspect of the writing craft in the accompanying essay. In this introductory primer to the Short Fiction Lab series, Ball presents four short tales for lovers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Upon Discovering of A Ghost in the Five Star: There’s a ghost in the Five Star Laundromat. The worst thing you can do is accept her balloon when she tries to give it to you. Nick’s interest in the dead girl is causing problems with his boyfriend… but he isn’t sure he’s ready to give her up just yet. Counting Down: Phil thinks he can catch a bullet as a party trick, but he needs someone to pull the trigger. Mattie isn’t sure he’s got what it takes to fire the antique Luger at his friend, but he’s also caught a glimpse of the bats living inside Phil’s skull and knows what it means if they get out. The Place Beyond the Brambles: The women who emerge from the land beyond the brambles are always strange and always beautiful. They’re also prone to returning home, long before the men who marry them hope they will depart. Ethan’s wife has done exactly that, leaving behind a daughter and memories that only Ethan can recall. The Things You Do When The War Breaks Out: Henry and his dad are going to the moon for a holiday. The dinosaurs who occupy the dark side of the moon are no longer content to share it with humanity. When war breaks out and the moon is evacuated, Henry’s father sees an opportunity to resolve some old grudges. In the accompanying essay, Here Comes The Boom, Peter M. Ball takes on the question all writers seem to shirk: where do you get your ideas from? He takes readers through the inspiration behind each of these short tales and breaks down why a great idea is often the least important tool in the writer’s arsenal.

Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise

Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise

By: Peter M. McGinnis

A standout among introductory biomechanics texts, Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition With Web Resource, takes a unique approach to introducing exercise and sport biomechanics. Using simple terms, the book presents mechanics before functional anatomy, helping students first understand external forces and their effects on motion; then explores how the musculoskeletal system responds and generates its own internal forces to maintain position; and finally shows how to apply biomechanical principles to analyze movement and ultimately improve performance. The fourth edition expands its commitment to enabling students to discover the principles of biomechanics through observation. Easy-to-understand experiments are presented for students to try in the classroom or on their own. Sample problem sidebars guide students through choosing the appropriate equation to determine the forces acting or motion occurring in a specific scenario and then helps them solve the equation. This practical approach—combining clear illustrations, sample calculations, and encouragement for active learning—helps students develop a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanical concepts. In addition to careful updates throughout the book, other new enhancements in the fourth edition include the following: New content explores the technologies and devices available to coaches, athletes, and the general public to measure aspects of athletes’ movements. New full-color art and diagrams enhance the text and help students visualize mechanics in real-world scenarios. Explanations of the equations used in the text make the content more accessible to students. New concept application boxes provide deeper analysis of the field use of biomechanics, with topics such as the Magnus effect in baseball pitching, the wetsuit effect in triathlons, power output in cycling, centripetal acceleration when running a curve, and the work-energy principles in modern shot putting. Other learning aids include bold key terms, chapter objectives, and a guide to key equations and abbreviations. The chapters include a total of 18 sample problems that students can solve using a step-by-step process. A companion web resource offers additional review questions and problem sets. Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, introduces the biomechanics of human movement in a clear and concise manner while promoting an active, engaged learning experience. Students will discover the principles of mechanics for themselves, resulting in a strong understanding of the subject matter.

The Teaching Hospital: Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Evolution of Academic Medicine

By: Peter Tishler,Christine Wenc,Joseph Loscalzo

CELEBRATING THE HISTORY OF AMERICA'S LANDMARK INSTITUTION The fascinating true story of Brigham and Women's Hospital Founded in 1913, the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital was the first medical institution since John Hopkins to foster clinical clerkships of medical students in the environment of a modern residency program. Forging a partnership with Harvard Medical School, the Brigham would become a major innovator in clinical research, implementing a new educational model that would inspire other hospitals for generations to come. In 1980 the Brigham merged with two other Boston medical institutions boasting their own profoundly important histories, the Boston Hospital for Women and the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital, to become Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). This rich and insightful account brings this remarkable story to life: the milestone achievements, medical breakthroughs, and personal dedication that have made BWH a world-class leader in academic medicine. The Teaching Hospital includes: A comprehensive history of BWH, from its continued commitment to medicine, education, and compassionate care to its ongoing leadership in transforming science-driven healthcare today. A compendium of BWH's famous firsts, including the nation’s first maternity ward, the first in-vitro fertilization, the first successful human organ transplant, New England's first coronary care unit, and most recently, the first full-face transplant, as well as cutting-edge research in stem cells, systems biology, and bioengineering. A celebration of Brigham's luminaries and landmarks, from pioneers like Dr. Harvey Cushing, the father of modern neurosurgery, Dr. Bernard Lown, Nobel Peace Prize winning cardiologist, and Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health, to the hospital's milestone breakthroughs in radiology, arthritis, transplant surgery, immunology, women's health, community health, and more. With invaluable contributions from medical historians and doctors, this essential volume provides an in-depth history of the institution. Here is the evolution of BWH in all its dimensions: its reputation as an education and clinical innovator, its role in fostering groundbreaking biomedical research, its ties to the local community as well as to the nation and the world, its financial and administrative growth across the decades, the personalities who have made BWH famous, and the fascinating inner life of the hospital. Filled with stories of profound commitment, critical analysis, and behind-the-scenes details, the book celebrates the Brigham’s history in both a medical and cultural context.

"Enemies of the People" Under the Soviets

A History of Repression and Its Consequences

By: Peter Julicher

The Soviet era was a time of social and economic upheaval in Russia's history as the Bolsheviks strove to build a socialist utopia based on the theories of Karl Marx. Central to this endeavor was the 25-year dictatorship of Josef Stalin, whose determination to make the Soviet Union a dominant industrial and military power created misery on a grand scale and caused the deaths of millions of people. Stalin arbitrarily invoked the specter of "enemies of the people" to destroy anyone who opposed the new socialist order. Millions of Soviet citizens were executed in continuous purges, and millions more perished in the slave labor camps of the Gulag. This book describes the fate of those citizens who were declared enemies of the people not because of what they had done but because of who they were. Stalin's repression not only destroyed the best and brightest, it prevented the development of a civil society in the Soviet Union which would have promoted economic justice, the rule of law and basic human rights for all.
