Book excerpt: Enjoy the 10th book in the steamy BBW small town contemporary romance series from USA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson. Xavier The day I walked away from Karissa was the hardest day of my life. Until the mother of my newborn daughter walked out of the hospital and left both of us behind. My daughter and I built a life, just the two of us. We were happy, and we were together. But when she started getting into trouble at high school, a change had to be made. Nothing mattered to me more than her. So, I did what I couldn’t do for Karissa. I embraced small town life. I never expected we’d end up in Karissa’s small town. With her best friend and my best friend starting a family, and trying to make us a part of it. Keeping my distance from her was the smart thing, but I was never the smart one out of the two of us. Karissa I thought of myself as smart. Someone who could use her brains to figure things out. When I designed a dating app, I thought it was good. For everyone except me, apparently. The app matched me with my ex. My ex who decided all the things he wanted in his life were the opposite of what I wanted. Small town? Nope, moving to the city. Regular job? Nope, something big and flashy. Quiet life together? Ha! That was the biggest joke of all. He had all those things. He got the big job in the big city and lived his big life. But now he’s in my small town. He’s eating at my favorite places and making space for himself within my group of friends. He’s infiltrating my world. But he’s not getting back inside my heart.

The summer guests were drifting home and the sleepy town I ran fast and far from decades ago became the home I remembered. The home I loved. I let it get to me. I let myself get sucked in. I wasn’t the town’s son anymore. I was nobody. Or so I thought. That random woman I met online? I didn’t think she knew who I was. She pretended she didn’t. But after one night, she was trying to trap me into a lifetime together. Ha! She couldn’t trick me. I wasn’t falling for it. Or her. Finley Finally. I finally got things settled at work. I was good for nine months. Time to hang on and make a new plan. I deserved a night out. A quick fling with a rare stranger in my small town. One night. One time. Not one line. Shit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These friends are not looking for love in their small town, but love is going to find them anyway. This box set contains three full length contemporary romances about falling in love with the last person you expect. Online dating was supposed to be a favor to a friend, but their matches are frighteningly perfect, on screen and off. His Curvy Friend The last place Ian wants to be is stuck in the friend zone, but that's exactly where he's been for years with Blake. He made a promise to a friend he would admit to Blake how he feels, and as the date gets closer, and his connection with Blake starts to feel like more than just a friendship, Ian goes all in. His Curvy Wife Ramsey did not want to walk out on his wife, but he feared it was the only way to protect her. It was the only way to keep her safe. Until he finds out she's ready to move on with her life without him. Starting over isn't easy, but maybe it's the only way they can find each other again. His Curvy Treat Colin was not looking for everyone in his new small town home to know everything about him. Or for them to all try to get a date.

Not fall fast and hard for the one who makes them crazy, in every way possible. This box set contains three full length contemporary romances about loving yourself enough to know you deserve the best possible match. His Curvy Nurse Laura moved to MacKellar Cove to work for Nico. She never expected to fall for her stubborn, sexy, and oblivious boss. Too bad he barely knows she exists. Or that’s how it seems. Nico is having a harder time keeping his attraction to Laura in check. When both turn to online dating to get over each other, they’re paired together, and all bets are off. His Curvy Ex Zoey fell hard and fast for Sebastian when she was a teenager. Promises were made, and broken, and a lifetime passed. But now she’s back. It’s temporary, but it’s enough to throw the two of them together over and over again. Sebastian hates her for breaking his heart, but he can’t seem to resist her, or her kids. Is moving on possible with the one person you’re trying to move on from? His Curvy Craving The last thing Finley needed was a complication. That was why she agreed to meet the sexy stranger. It was anonymous, and hot, and not supposed to be more than harmless fun. Telling a man whose name she didn’t know that’s he was going to be a father was definitely the most awkward thing ever. Trent is sure she’s lying. Trying to trap him. She found out who he was and is trying to lay claim to his fortune. Joke’s on her. He’s not falling for it. Or her.

Book excerpt: Enjoy this FREE small town Plus-Size Romance series starter by USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Mary E Thompson... Ian You know the worst thing about falling in love? Getting friend-zoned. I was patient. I waited five years for her to end her last relationship. For her to realize he wasn’t good enough for her. For her to be ready to move on. I was done waiting. I had to tell her the truth. That I wasn’t the same guy I used to be, bringing home every woman in our small town. That I was the guy she was sharing secrets with on the online dating app. That I was single, and ready for her to be mine. I had to tell her I loved her. But what if she didn’t feel the same? Blake “He’ll back off if I kiss you.” Talk about blowing up my world. I was dumped me because my ex thought I was in love with my best friend’s brother. Now, Ian wants to kiss me. In front of my ex. I’m so damn tempted. Every woman wants Ian. I’m no different. But kissing him crossed a line. A line I wasn’t sure I could come back from. Could I stop at one kiss? Not likely. But I also couldn’t keep him at a distance like I did with everyone else. He would learn everything. And not just how much I wished he could be mine, but also why he never could be.

I promised her I’d never do it, but I also promised I’d keep her safe. That was the promise I couldn’t keep if I stayed. I wouldn’t risk her life or her health, so I risked my own heart and walked away. But she was ready to move on. To meet someone else. To find a new man who’d be willing to put what she wanted above keeping her safe. A new man who’d put his hands on my wife. Love her. Touch her. Hell. No. She was still mine. Melody I’ve only ever loved one man. One gorgeous, maddening, wonderful man. I even managed to marry him. I thought we’d be together forever, but everything changed when I lost our baby. Instead of being his wife and lover, I was his new project. Something to fix. I didn’t need to be fixed, though. I couldn’t be. I needed my husband, but he wasn’t there. Some other man was there. A man who stopped seeing me and only saw a fragile, wounded woman he had to shelter. But it was all over. My husband left me. He couldn’t fix me, so he stopped trying. He told me he wanted a divorce, and I had no reason to make him stay. We weren’t the people we used to be. I still loved him, but, as much as I wanted it to be, sometimes love wasn’t enough. And sometimes life threw you a curve. Like being paired with my husband on an online dating site. Could it be as easy as starting over?

Nico Resisting Laura was getting harder and harder every day. Seeing her talking and laughing with patients and watching the shutters close when she looked at me was painful. I deserved it, but it was not easy. Not when I wanted to know everything there was to know about her. If only I wasn’t her boss. Crossing that line wasn’t a good idea. We had important work to do. Work that saved lives and helped people. I couldn’t risk it. I wouldn’t. But hearing about her dates was driving me crazy. If I could meet someone, maybe I could forget about her. There had to be someone on the online dating app who would take my mind off of her. Laura Life’s too short for regrets. I learned that day after day working with patients living and dying with cancer. They all told me the same thing. Stop being afraid of living my life and grab it by the balls. So, I listened. I stopped wondering when my boss was going to notice me. I stopped wishing he would see me as more than just his nurse. I stopped declining dates with other men in hopes Nico would one day ask me out. I am not so evolved that I actually stopped hoping something would happen, but I had to move on. People were dying with regrets, and I couldn’t live with mine. I never thought dating other men would make Nico notice me. I never expected him to be pissed off. And I sure as hell never thought he’d be jealous. But I definitely liked that side of him. The side that said he wanted me. It wasn’t going to be that easy, though. He needed to work for it. One kiss, one touch, one panty-melting word at a time.

  • Pages : 326 pages

Download or read book The Ellipse written by Arthur Mazer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the development of the ellipse and presents mathematical concepts within a rich, historical context The Ellipse features a unique, narrative approach when presenting the development of this mathematical fixture, revealing its parallels to mankind's advancement from the Counter-Reformation to the Enlightenment. Incorporating illuminating historical background and examples, the author brings together basic concepts from geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus to uncover the ellipse as the shape of a planet's orbit around the sun. The book begins with a discussion that tells the story of man's pursuit of the ellipse, from Aristarchus to Newton's successful unveiling nearly two millenniums later. The narrative draws insightful similarities between mathematical developments and the advancement of the Greeks, Romans, Medieval Europe, and Renaissance Europe. The author begins each chapter by setting the historical backdrop that is pertinent to the mathematical material that is discussed, equipping readers with the knowledge to fully grasp the presented examples and derive the ellipse as the planetary pathway. All topics are presented in both historical and mathematical contexts, and additional mathematical excursions are clearly marked so that readers have a guidepost for the materials' relevance to the development of the ellipse. The Ellipse is an excellent book for courses on the history of mathematics at the undergraduate level. It is also a fascinating reference for mathematicians, engineers, or anyone with a general interest in historical mathematics.

Book Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica

Download or read book Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica written by Elsa Abbena and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting theory while using Mathematica in a complementary way, Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica, the third edition of Alfred Gray’s famous textbook, covers how to define and compute standard geometric functions using Mathematica for constructing new curves and surfaces from existing ones. Since Gray’s death, authors Abbena and Salamon have stepped in to bring the book up to date. While maintaining Gray's intuitive approach, they reorganized the material to provide a clearer division between the text and the Mathematica code and added a Mathematica notebook as an appendix to each chapter. They also address important new topics, such as quaternions. The approach of this book is at times more computational than is usual for a book on the subject. For example, Brioshi’s formula for the Gaussian curvature in terms of the first fundamental form can be too complicated for use in hand calculations, but Mathematica handles it easily, either through computations or through graphing curvature. Another part of Mathematica that can be used effectively in differential geometry is its special function library, where nonstandard spaces of constant curvature can be defined in terms of elliptic functions and then plotted. Using the techniques described in this book, readers will understand concepts geometrically, plotting curves and surfaces on a monitor and then printing them. Containing more than 300 illustrations, the book demonstrates how to use Mathematica to plot many interesting curves and surfaces. Including as many topics of the classical differential geometry and surfaces as possible, it highlights important theorems with many examples. It includes 300 miniprograms for computing and plotting various geometric objects, alleviating the drudgery of computing things such as the curvature and torsion of a curve in space.

Book excerpt: An in-depth and unified exploration of genius in the arts and sciences through the life and works of five seminal intellectual and cultural figures: Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Ludwig von Beethoven, and Albert Einstein. Who among us hasn't read Hamlet, listened to the Fifth Symphony, gazed at the Mona Lisa, or marveled at the three laws of physics and the Theory of Relativity and been struck with the same simple question: how on Earth did they do it? Where did these masters draw inspiration to produce some of the most stunning achievements in human history? Were their brains wired differently than ours? Did they have special traits or unique experiences that set them on the path to greatness? Genius is a broad and elusive concept, one that is divisive and hard to define—and gravely misunderstood. There are “ordinary” geniuses who achieve remarkable feats of brilliance, as well as “magicians” (a term James Gleick invoked to describe Richard Feynman) who make an outsize impact on their given field. But highest among them are transformative geniuses, those rare individuals who redefine their fields or open up new universes of thought altogether. These are the masters whose genius Bulent Atalay decodes in his engrossing, enlightening, and revelatory book. No, Atalay doesn’t have a road map for how we might become the next Einstein or Leonardo, but his revolutionary study of genius gives us a stunning new lens through which to view humanity’s most prolific thinkers and creators and perhaps pick up some inspiration along the way. At first, it seems that transformative geniuses don’t follow any sort of topography. Their prodigious output looks effortless, they leap from summit to summit, and they probably couldn’t explain exactly how they went about solving their problems. They might not even recognize themselves in the ways we talk about them today. Atalay argues that these heroes fit more of a mold than we might think. As evidence, he rigorously dissects the lives, traits, habits, and thought patterns of five exemplars—Leonardo, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven, and Einstein— to map the path of the transformative genius. How did Beethoven, who could not perform basic multiplication, innately encode the Fibonacci Sequence in his symphonies? Is it possible that we understate Shakespeare’s poetic influence? How did Leonardo become equally prolific in both the arts and the sciences? How did Newton formulate the universal laws of physics, the basis of so many other sciences? And what prompted TIME Magazine to declare Einstein, a man whose very name is synonymous with genius, the “Individual of the 20th Century”? With great clarity and attention to detail, Atalay expertly traces how these five exemplars ascended to immortality and what their lives and legacies reveal about how transformative geniuses are made

Book excerpt: A comedic Steampunk sensation inspired by both Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, All Men of Genius follows Violet Adams as she disguises herself as her twin brother to gain entry to Victorian London's most prestigious scientific academy, and once there, encounters blackmail, mystery, and love. Violet Adams wants to attend Illyria College, a widely renowned school for the most brilliant up-and-coming scientific minds, founded by the late Duke Illyria, the greatest scientist of the Victorian Age. The school is run by his son, Ernest, who has held to his father's policy that the small, exclusive college remain male-only. Violet sees her opportunity when her father departs for America. She disguises herself as her twin brother, Ashton, and gains entry. But keeping the secret of her sex won't be easy, not with her friend Jack's constant habit of pulling pranks, and especially not when the duke's young ward, Cecily, starts to develop feelings for Violet's alter ego, "Ashton." Not to mention blackmail, mysterious killer automata, and the way Violet's pulse quickens whenever the young duke, Ernest (who has a secret past of his own), speaks to her. She soon realizes that it's not just keeping her secret until the end of the year faire she has to worry about: it's surviving that long.
