Book Description
"I almost missed my stop. Twice!" - Angelika Rust, author of Ratpaths In a world where kids are used to smuggle goods across the country, Cyrus Rhodes believes himself to be the best. But as his eighteenth birthday nears, he fears for what his future holds when he can no longer do what he is best at. When he is given the chance to run an epic race across the country in less time than he knows is possible, he jumps at the opportunity, risking life and limb for little more than money and prestige. Soon, he learns there's much more to this run than he's accustomed to, finding himself in the middle of a battle for control of the country, while he's struggling against a battle for control of his own life. Now the question isn't whether or not he can complete the job, but whether he can stay alive when faced against the United States military, a revolutionary squad, and the entire United States who now believes him to be a terrorist.

His new running partner, Bruno, is an escapee from the same prison Cyrus just escaped from and appears to have his own motives in mind. Cyrus has a lot of questions and a lot to do, and there are only six days left until the nation burns.

Book Description
When a stolen relic sends them back in time, con artists Chelle and Griff try to return in the same way they arrived: scamming, scheming, and swindling. But following the rules of the Scammer's Bible might not be enough for these two unlikely heroes as they wind up in the midst of a battle for not only a medieval town's freedom, but also the integrity of all history. Griff and Chelle must use their wits to uncover out the secrets of the mysterious Wizard, as well as the history of the puzzling Reprobian Sphere which brought them to the past, all while avoiding the townspeople who are under The Wizard's spell.

Book Description
This monograph discusses software reuse and how it can be applied at different stages of the software development process, on different types of data and at different levels of granularity. Several challenging hypotheses are analyzed and confronted using novel data-driven methodologies, in order to solve problems in requirements elicitation and specification extraction, software design and implementation, as well as software quality assurance. The book is accompanied by a number of tools, libraries and working prototypes in order to practically illustrate how the phases of the software engineering life cycle can benefit from unlocking the potential of data. Software engineering researchers, experts, and practitioners can benefit from the various methodologies presented and can better understand how knowledge extracted from software data residing in various repositories can be combined and used to enable effective decision making and save considerable time and effort through software reuse. Mining Software Engineering Data for Software Reuse can also prove handy for graduate-level students in software engineering.

Book Description
In 1952 Michael Ventris deciphered the script found on the Linear B tablets from Crete and the Greek mainland, therefore revealing the earliest known form of Greek. In 1956 he and John Chadwick published Documents in Mycenaean Greek, which gave an account of the decipherment, of the language of the tablets, of the society and economy revealed by the documents and a series of chapters giving texts, translations and commentary of the most important tablets. Though partially updated in 1973, Documents is now very much outdated: there has been a vast accrual of bibliography on the subject since 1973, and discoveries of tablets at new sites. This new survey, written by fourteen of the world's leading experts, will bring the reader fully up-to-date with developments in all aspects of Mycenaean studies, concluding with a new, full glossary of all the most recently discovered words.
