$50,000 an Ounce!

By: Albin Roman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

It was Hal Decker's most perplexing case: find the thief who stole a rare Martian meteorite from an anonymous owner who has not reported it missing. With no suspects, motives or clues, his only lead is a two-gram slice of that precious rock worth $50,000 an ounce! Resorting to website research, phone line trickery and adroit persuasion, Decker uncovers 200 suspects from a dozen countries who might have stolen the original meteorite. During the course of his frenetic search he is bewitched by a lovely geologist, badgered by a passionate lady friend and baffled by a mysterious brunette tourist. In pursuit of his suspects, he travels 10,000 miles from San Francisco to Buenos Aires to Antarctica, fighting resistance every mile en route. Arriving at the Antarctic Peninsula, he hikes inland and discovers the secret of the missing meteorite. But now he is faced with the ultimate Polar disaster: stranded for the winter on the frozen continent without food and shelter, and no hope of rescue for nine months!

Technoscientific Research

Methodological and Ethical Aspects

By: Roman Z. Morawski

Unlike the bulk majority of publications on philosophy of science and research ethics, which are authored by professional philosophers and intended for philosophers, this book has been written by a research practitioner and intended for research practitioners. It is distinctive by its integrative approach to methodological and ethical issues related to research practice, with special emphasis of mathematical modelling and measurement, as well as by attempted application of engineering design methodology to moral decision making. It is also distinctive by more than 200 real-world examples drawn from various domains of science and technology. It is neither a philosophical treaty nor a quick-reference guide. It is intended to encourage young researchers, especially Ph.D. students, to deeper philosophical reflection over research practice. They are not expected to have any philosophical background, but encouraged to consult indicated sources of primary information and academic textbooks containing syntheses of information from primary sources. This book can be a teaching aid for students attending classes aimed at identification of methodological and ethical issues related to technoscientific research, followed by introduction to the methodology of analysing dilemmas arising in this context.

Christianity – The Untold Tragedy

A Picture of Historiography as a Conspiracy of Ignorance

By: Dr. Roman Landau

Is it allowed to argue that the legendary “freedom of teaching and research” seems to be purely theoretical and in fact one should better speak of “the dictatorship of the professorate”? Or is this a problem of intellectual nature? Is the ignorance of our elite in (journalism and) academia owed to their (innocent, God-given) mental immaturity? It took me only a few visites to the State Archive (Staatsarchiv) in Hamburg to realize that there had taken place an impressive revolutionary overthrow in ownership. The documents reveal that up until the 19th century communal and communitarian (Christian) foundations appear to have been the most important property owners. (Real estate and capital) Looking at this contradiction of the reality (of the files of the Staatsarchiv) with the authoritarian-omniscient teaching of the historians at schools and colleges we are surprised to see that our true history and especially the role and function of Christianity was obviously wilful falsificated in a brutal and misleading way. And replaced with a beautiful dramatic fiction (!) in which everything began with Luther nailing his paper to the church door of Wittenberg. In fact everything began with the communitarian co-operatives “in honor of God” that the foundations indeed were. And it began to find its end with the egoism ot the social elite.

Search N Rescue

Guiding Unbelievers to the Savior

By: Eddie Roman

Search and Rescue is a practical guide to reaching people with the good news of Jesus Christ. Eddie has been teaching evangelism classes and leading outreaches for the past six years. As producer/director of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron’s TV show, The Way of the Master, Eddie knows how to communicate deep truths in a way that is easy to grasp. Many Christians want to share the gospel with friends and family, but few actually do. Fear of rejection stifles many. Others don’t share Christ because they don’t know what to say. Drawing insight from the bible, as well as personal experience, Eddie gives clear instruction on how to overcome the obstacles and share your faith.

The Wonderbox

Curious histories of how to live

By: Roman Krznaric

There are many ways to try to improve our lives - we can turn to the wisdom of philosophers, the teachings of religions or the latest experiments of psychologists. But we rarely to look to history for inspiration - and when we do it can be surprisingly powerful. Showing the lessons that can be learned from the past, cultural historian Roman Krznaric explores twelve universal topics, from work and love to money and creativity, and reveals the wisdom that we've been missing. There is much to be learned from Ancient Greece on relationships, from the industrial revolution on job satisfaction, and from Ming-dynasty China on bringing up our children. Just as a Renaissance 'Wunderkammer' was a curiosity cabinet full of fascinating objects, each with a story behind it, The Wonderbox is full of stories and ideas from history, each of which sheds invaluable light on the decisions we make every day, whether we think about the different uses of the senses or changing attitudes to time. History is usually read for pleasure or for insight into current affairs, but The Wonderbox, stepping into the territory of Alain de Botton and Theodore Zeldin, is 'practical history' - using the past to think about our day to day lives.

The History of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada

The History of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada

3-Volume Set, 1759-2021

By: Roman Johann Jarymowycz

In three volumes spanning centuries, Lieutenant Colonel Roman Jarymowycz recounts the story of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, the oldest Highland regiment in the country. He traces its history from the roots, when soldiers, settlers, and militia volunteers rallied to defend the southern borders of their adopted country against invasion from the United States. Drawing on diaries, letters, classified documents, and the regimental archive, Jarymowycz weaves the strands of a complex story into an epic narrative of a resolute collective of officers and men. Since its birth in 1862 as the 5th Battalion, Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada, thousands of citizens have served in the unit. In addition to securing Canada’s borders, Black Watch soldiers have fought in the South African War, both world wars, and the Korean War. They have bolstered NATO operations and United Nations peacekeeping missions, and they provided aid to the civil power during the 1997 Quebec and Eastern Ontario ice storm disaster and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Montreal-based battalion continues to serve Canada in its traditional role as a reserve infantry unit, and to this day, Black Watch soldiers frequently deploy on dangerous missions abroad. In volume 1, readers will learn of the Black Watch’s origins; its first foreign enterprise, the South African War; and a detailed account of the Great War, where the regiment evolved from the 5th Royal Highlanders to become the Canadian Black Watch, as they were known throughout the empire. The Montreal regiment trained four battalions for overseas duty, three of which participated in the greatest battles of the First World War, an unprecedented accomplishment. This volume not only offers a critical analysis of campaigns, key actions, and tactical evolution, but also includes an intimate and compelling account of the sacrifices that forged this extraordinary regiment. In volume 2 we are offered the story of the bloody battlefields of the Second World War, when the Black Watch joined Commonwealth regiments to defeat the Axis Powers. After a quick mobilization in 1939 and a long wait in England, the Black Watch experienced a baptism by fire at Dieppe. Landing in Normandy after D-Day, the regiment fought in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, its distinguished service earning numerous honours. As well as discussing these military engagements, Jarymowycz reveals the many difficulties with recruiting, training, recovering from devastating battles, communicating with higher command, and the quality and scarcity of reinforcements. Volume 3 relates the regiment’s post–Second World War story. Canada’s commitments to NATO and the United Nations led to the creation of two regular battalions of the Black Watch, while retaining the reserve battalion in Montreal. From 1953 to 1970, in Korea, Germany, Cyprus, and Canada, the regular battalions served with devotion and courage. The thousands of men who were based at Camp Aldershot, Nova Scotia, and the Regimental Depot in Sussex, New Brunswick, then moved to establish a Regular Force Home Station in the newly constructed Camp Gagetown, NB. These units earned a reputation second to none in efficiency, training, fighting ability, readiness, and strength. This monumental history of Canada’s oldest Highland regiment is at once a record of Scottish heritage, a portrait of Montreal rising as an industrial giant, and an examination of the emergence of a military culture from the Western Front.

This Ain't No Disco: The Story of CBGB

By: Roman Kozak

CBGB was the birthplace of punk and new wave in America in the 1970s. The Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and many other groundbreaking bands got their start in the rock club on New York’s Bowery. Years later, CBGB became the cauldron for New York hardcore. Originally issued in 1988 and out of print for decades, This Ain't No Disco is a detailed warts-and-all history, with memories, stories and gossip from dozens of insiders who worked, played or just hung out at CBGB. Written long before the legend overtook the reality — while the club was open and most of the principals alive — this is the real story, told in gritty, outrageous and sometimes hilarious detail.

Alcohol Problem Intervention in the Workplace

Employee Assistance Programs and Strategic Alternatives

By: Paul M. Roman

Since the 1950s, social scientists have devoted serious attention to the relationship between alcohol and the workplace. In recent years, awareness of the tremendous costs, both human and financial, associated with alcoholism has led to a dramatic increase in both scholarly and practical interest in the field. Although researchers working in this area are relatively few, they have sustained a lively interest in the alcohol/work nexus and have attracted others to the field through conferences where ideas and research strategies are exchanged. The larger part of Alcohol Problem Intervention in the Workplace provides an up-to-date thorough examination of the problem, the research, and the possible solutions. This volume is directed toward both practitioners and researchers, providing a wide range of new data and new ideas that bear upon coping with alcohol problems in the workplace. Part I addresses issues regarding the distribution and correlates of alcohol problems and alcohol use among employees. Part II is centered on issues associated with Employee Assistance Programs. And Part III is a general conclusion and overview offering suggestions and implications for the practitioner in the workplace. Because this collection supplies the most current thinking and information on controlling alcohol problems in the workplace, it will be of particular interest to human resource management and to employee assistance specialists, who are now required to pass a certification examination.

An Introduction to Constraint-Based Temporal Reasoning

By: Roman Barták,Robert A. Morris,K. Brent Venable

Solving challenging computational problems involving time has been a critical component in the development of artificial intelligence systems almost since the inception of the field. This book provides a concise introduction to the core computational elements of temporal reasoning for use in AI systems for planning and scheduling, as well as systems that extract temporal information from data. It presents a survey of temporal frameworks based on constraints, both qualitative and quantitative, as well as of major temporal consistency techniques. The book also introduces the reader to more recent extensions to the core model that allow AI systems to explicitly represent temporal preferences and temporal uncertainty. This book is intended for students and researchers interested in constraint-based temporal reasoning. It provides a self-contained guide to the different representations of time, as well as examples of recent applications of time in AI systems.

An Introduction to Optimal Control

By: Yury Shestopalov,Elena Pronina,Roman Dzerzhinsky

This book explores the major techniques involved in optimization, control theory, and calculus of variations. The book serves as a concise contemporary guide to optimal control theory, optimization, numerical methods and beyond. As such, it is a valuable source to learn mathematical modeling and the mathematical nature of optimization and optimal control. The presence of a variety of exercises solved down to numerical values is one of the main characteristic features of the book. Another one is its compactness, and the material’s usefulness in preparing and teaching several different university courses. The investigation of trends and their formation undertaken in the book leads seamlessly into extrapolation techniques and rigorous methods of scientific prediction. The research for this book was accomplished at the Russian Technological University (RTU) MIREA, based on the courses which have been taught at the RTU for many years.
