<p>In Solar Lottery, the ruler of the Universe is chosen according to the random laws of a strange game. Quizmaster Verrick is currently in charge, but when Ted Bentley, a research technician recently dismissed from his job, signs on to work for Verrick, he has no idea that Leon Cartwright is about to become the new Quizmaster. Nor does he know that he himself is about to play an integral part in the plot to assassinate Cartwright so that Verrick can resume leadership of a universe not nearly as random as it appears.</p>

For two-term, or condensed one-term, freshman/sophomore-level courses in Finite Math and calculus.This mathematically correct, accessible, and student friendly text prepares students for the math they will encounter as they matriculate through a wide range of disciplines. The text's optional graphing calculator material is presented thoughtfully and makes Barnett ideal in course employing the graphing calculator. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving-rather than mathematical theory. Most derivations and proofs are omitted except where their inclusion adds significant insight into a particular concept. General concepts and results are usually presented only after particular cases have been discussed.

Instructor's resource manual to accompany Introductory circuit analysis, seventh edition

BOYLESTAD, ROBERT L.

This text integrates the most recent academic theory with current business practices in strategic management. Illustrating concepts with examples from some of today's global organizations, it features a diverse selection of applications-oriented and thought-provoking cases that put the theories in a real-world perspective for students. Forty one diverse cases highlight decision-making situations - cases are organized by goods, services, international, small business, not-for-profit, and social responsibility and ethics which include discussions on key current topics, such as corporate governance, corporate restructuring, reconfiguring/re-engineering, and horizontal structure. The text is also available in split editions - "Strategic Management: Concepts" and "Strategic Management: Cases." This book draws insight from all business disciplines as well as disciplines from the social sciences which have contributed to the study of strategic management.

Dingman's goal throughout Physical Hydrology is to provide an understanding of the conceptual basis of the subject and introduce the quantitative relations involved in answering scientific and water-resources-management questions. The author supplies the basic physical principles necessary for developing a sound intuitive and quantitative sense of the way in which water moves through the land. He outlines the assumptions behind each conceptual approach but also identifies some of the limitations of each. Rich in substance and written to fulfill the needs of future researchers and experts in the field, Dingman treats hydrology as a distinct geoscience that is continually expanding to deal with large-scale changes in land use and climate. The text is organized around four principal themes: the basic concepts underlying the science of hydrology; the global climate, the global hydrologic cycle, and the relation of hydrology to soils and vegetation; the land phase of the hydrologic cycle; and water-resource-management principles and the ways in which hydrologic analysis is applied in that context. Coverage includes approaches for determining regional evapotranspiration rates, the movement of ground water in rock fractures, and the relation of hydrologic regimes to past and future climates. It offers in-depth discussions of hydrologic modeling--model use, modeling terminology, and the process of model development; water-resource-management goals and processes; water supply and demand; water-quality issues; floods and flood-frequency analysis; and drought and low-flow analysis. Outstanding features that facilitate learning include: A tabulation of documented trends in global change of climatic and hydrologic quantities; information on methods for handling missing data; discussions of the BROOK90 model and how it can be used with the text; Internet links to hydrologic information; exercises designed for student exploration; and Excel spreadsheets on the accompanying CD.
