Ngorongoro Crater is lush, beautiful and rich with residents that graze its volcanic floor. Two thousand foot high cliffs surround the Crater, which is home to over 13,000 herd animals. The Crater is also home to the highest density of large carnivores in Africa. 18 year old Msaka is the Crater's oldest lioness and leads the large Lakette pride. Faced with a food shortage, their chief huntress disappears to seek out sustenance for them all. Weakened, they now face an even greater threat from four nomadic male lions preparing to attack and claim the pride and its fertile lionesses. To reach them though, the usurping males need to get through. The pride's lead male has guarded them for five years but, at the age of eight, he's almost past his prime. Against their combined strength and determination, will he be able to protect the pride? If he doesn't repel the challengers, it could spell bloodshed for the young cubs who are often the first victims once a victorious male moves in to father his own litters. With the battle lines drawn, the Lakette pride will have one chance to defend itself - and to survive.

Computer Science Reconsidered: The Invocation Model of Process Expression
269 pages | Dec 12, 2007 |ISBN: 0471798142 | PDF | 5 Mb
The Invocation Model of Process Expression argues that mathematics does not provide the most appropriate conceptual foundations for computer science, but, rather, that these foundations are a primary source of unnecessary complexity and confusion. It supports that there is a more appropriate conceptual model that unifies forms of expression considered quite disparate and simplifies issues considered complex and intractable. This book presents that this model of process expression is alternative theory of computer science that is both valid and practical.

Happiness: The Science behind Your Smile
224 pages | Dec 12, 2006 |ISBN:0192805592 | PDF | 5 Mb
What exactly is happiness? Can we measure it? Why are some people happy and others not? And is there a drug that could eliminate all unhappiness? People all over the world, and throughout the ages, have thought about happiness, argued about its nature, and, most of all, desired it. But why do we have such a strong instinct to pursue happiness? And if happiness is good in itself, why haven't we simply evolved to be happier? Daniel Nettle uses the results of the latest psychological studies to ask what makes people happy and unhappy, what happiness really is, and to examine our urge to achieve it. Along the way we look at brain systems, at mind-altering drugs, and how happiness is now marketed to us as a commodity.
