Book Description
I’ve been obsessed with her for as long as I can remember, but she’s way out of my league. She’s a rich girl, and I’m a man from the wrong side of the tracks. Add our age gap on top of that, and it’s a recipe for a love story gone wrong. But fate throws me a bone when I catch her stranded on the side of the road. She’s in trouble, but I’m just the kind of daddy who can rescue her. They might not be the richest guys in town, but they’re hard workers who are passionate about what they do. They’re just as passionate about the women they set their sights on too. When these working class daddies find the women of their dreams, they’ll be unapologetically over-the-top when it comes to making them theirs and only theirs. They’ll do whatever it takes to prove their love—even if it calls for extreme measures. They might be a little bit—okay a lot—obsessed, but you’ll love every minute of it! If obsessive, possessive, over-the-top daddies who want nothing more than to take care of their women are your jam, then you’re going to love these working class daddies! Each book in this series is standalone and can be read in any order.

Reinventing the Wheel

Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
"Reinventing the Wheel is equal parts popular science, history, and muckraking. Over the past hundred and fifty years, dairy farming and cheesemaking have been transformed, and this book explores what has been lost along the way. Today, using cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput DNA sequencing, scientists are beginning to understand the techniques of our great-grandparents. The authors describe how geneticists are helping conservationists rescue rare dairy cow breeds on the brink of extinction, microbiologists are teaching cheesemakers to nurture the naturally occurring microbes in their raw milk rather than destroying them, and communities of cheesemakers are producing "real" cheeses that reunite farming and flavor, rewarding diversity and sustainability at every level."--Provided by publisher.

Prime Obsession
Author: John Derbyshire
Publisher: Joseph Henry Press
ISBN: 0309141257
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
In August 1859 Bernhard Riemann, a little-known 32-year old mathematician, presented a paper to the Berlin Academy titled: "On the Number of Prime Numbers Less Than a Given Quantity." In the middle of that paper, Riemann made an incidental remark â€" a guess, a hypothesis. What he tossed out to the assembled mathematicians that day has proven to be almost cruelly compelling to countless scholars in the ensuing years. Today, after 150 years of careful research and exhaustive study, the question remains. Is the hypothesis true or false? Riemann's basic inquiry, the primary topic of his paper, concerned a straightforward but nevertheless important matter of arithmetic â€" defining a precise formula to track and identify the occurrence of prime numbers. But it is that incidental remark â€" the Riemann Hypothesis â€" that is the truly astonishing legacy of his 1859 paper. Because Riemann was able to see beyond the pattern of the primes to discern traces of something mysterious and mathematically elegant shrouded in the shadows â€" subtle variations in the distribution of those prime numbers. Brilliant for its clarity, astounding for its potential consequences, the Hypothesis took on enormous importance in mathematics. Indeed, the successful solution to this puzzle would herald a revolution in prime number theory. Proving or disproving it became the greatest challenge of the age. It has become clear that the Riemann Hypothesis, whose resolution seems to hang tantalizingly just beyond our grasp, holds the key to a variety of scientific and mathematical investigations. The making and breaking of modern codes, which depend on the properties of the prime numbers, have roots in the Hypothesis. In a series of extraordinary developments during the 1970s, it emerged that even the physics of the atomic nucleus is connected in ways not yet fully understood to this strange conundrum. Hunting down the solution to the Riemann Hypothesis has become an obsession for many â€" the veritable "great white whale" of mathematical research. Yet despite determined efforts by generations of mathematicians, the Riemann Hypothesis defies resolution. Alternating passages of extraordinarily lucid mathematical exposition with chapters of elegantly composed biography and history, Prime Obsession is a fascinating and fluent account of an epic mathematical mystery that continues to challenge and excite the world. Posited a century and a half ago, the Riemann Hypothesis is an intellectual feast for the cognoscenti and the curious alike. Not just a story of numbers and calculations, Prime Obsession is the engrossing tale of a relentless hunt for an elusive proof â€" and those who have been consumed by it.

Pages : 280
Book Description
There are two kinds of women in the world - those I can bang, and those I can't. My teammate's sister? She's a can't. I moved in with her to protect her from a nasty ex, not to be the next guy in line. She's the brains. I'm the brawn. She's the fruit. I'm the sausage. She talks too much. I don't talk at all, if I don't have to. Should be easy to resist her. But every minute I spend with Felicity is another minute she gets under my skin. She makes me feel like something more than a dumb puckhead with a big Zamboni pony. And it's getting harder to remember why I need to keep my hands to myself. Beauty and the Beefcake is a vegan-friendly standalone romantic comedy featuring a hockey player whose vocabulary is the only thing smaller than a hockey puck, a book-smart but aimless ventriloquist with too many voices in her head, a dilapidated old house that may or may not be haunted, and no cheating or cliffhangers.
