Against a Dark Background by Iain Banks

Sharrow was once the leader of a personality-attuned combat team in one of the sporadic little commercial wars in the civilisation based around the planet Golter. Now she is hunted by the Huhsz, a religious cult which believes that she is the last obstacle before the faith’s apotheosis, and her only hope of escape is to find the last of the apocalyptically powerful Lazy Guns before the Huhsz find her. Her journey through the exotic Golterian system is a destructive and savage odyssey into her past, and that of her family and of the system itself.

The Chronicles of a Lost Soul

A collection of short stories that mix humour, horror and American existentialism. Over thirty years to write it, but you can throw it away in a matter of minutes.

Thinkwell's Economics with Steven Tomlinson lays the foundation for success because, unlike a traditional economics book, students actually like using it. Thinkwell works with the learning styles of students who have proven that traditional textbooks are not effective. Watch one Thinkwell video lecture and you’ll understand why Thinkwell works better.

Analysis of Parallel Spike Trains

Solid and transparent data analysis is the most important basis for reliable interpretation of experiments. The technique of parallel spike train recordings using multi-electrode arrangements has been available for many decades now, but only recently gained wide popularity among electro physiologists. Many traditional analysis methods are based on firing rates obtained by trial-averaging, and some of the assumptions for such procedures to work can be ignored without serious consequences.

Visualization in Mathematics, Reading and Science Education

Visualizations—either self-created or external visual stimuli used as an aid to learning—are probably as old as learning itself. Yet surprisingly little research has been done either into how precisely they help us learn, or how to produce ones that are effective pedagogical tools. This volume, a comprehensive review of theory and research on the use of visualization in mathematics, science and reading, contrasts the two dominant theoretical paradigms of how people construct and interpret visualizations.
