These lecture notes are intended to be used for master courses, where the students have a limited prior knowledge of special topics in probability. Therefore, we have included many of the preliminaries, such as convergence of random variables, probabilistic bounds, coupling, martingales and branching processes. These notes are aimed to be self-contained, and to give the readers an insight in the history of the field of random graphs.

Shadow Wolf (Wolves of the Beyond, Book 2)
By Kathryn Lasky
The wolf pup Faolan was born with a twisted paw, a slight defect that caused his wolf clan to abandon him in the forest to die. But Faolan, with the help of the grizzly bear who raised him as her own, survived. Now he's made it back to his clan and as a gnaw wolf, the lowest ranking pack member. And the hardships are just beginning. Another gnaw wolf, Heep, is jealous of Faolan and sets him up for failure. As if these humiliations are not enough, Faolon is framed for the murder of a wolf pup.
From its earliest beginnings, the United States of America has been composed of immigrants from nations around the world. Some, like European Americans, came voluntarily in search of better opportunities. Others, like African Americans, were brought as captives to their new land. Native Americans, already established, were forced to adjust to these new groups and the others that came after them, such as Latino Americans, Asian Americans, and most recently, Arab Americans.
Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages: Technical, Analytical and Nutritional Aspects
Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages is a comprehensive text that describes the science and technology involved in the production of the world's alcoholic beverages. The text describes the major fermentation process that produces these drinks and the major chemical, physical, and technical processes that accompany the production of these beverages are discussed. The multidisciplinary approach used in the book also emphasizes more recent developments and innovations, but with sufficient background for less experienced readers. The book also unifies different beverages in different chapters with extensive cross-referencing and comparison between the subjects.
