Book excerpt: This collection contains two novels and five novellas, including Daughter of Lions, The Last Werewolf, Lady Serra and the Draconian, Lynxed, Sybil Deceived, and Of Sky and Sea. Daughter of Lions Being a teenager is hard enough, but when your dad is an Alpha werelion it complicates matters even more. Victoria doesn’t feel like she fully fits in anywhere and things become more unsteady when she meets the new werelion in her dad’s pride, Brandon. Is there a way she can alter her genes to gain the ability to shift, or will she learn to accept who she is? The Last Werewolf “My name is Lily, and I’m the last werewolf.” In a world where vampires lay claim to everything, Lily is the last of her kind. It used to be her and her brother, until a mysterious hunter tracked them down. Only Lily survived. It’s enough of a struggle trying to fit into society with no pack and hiding what she really is, so when The Hunter who murdered her brother comes to town, catastrophe is sure to follow. The only barrier between her and certain death is Irving, a mage who discovers her secret and offers to keep her safe. But why, when it’s at such a great risk to him? Irving has his own set of secrets, and if either of them want to make it out alive, they have to work together. Lily will need all the help she can get for when The Hunter comes knocking. Lady Serra and the Draconian Serra’s life has been planned out for her since her conception. Attend the Elite school, Brevard, marry the Marquess Barnaby, and produce heirs. She wanted none of that, but with no choice in the matter she had resigned herself to her fate. Until Hadyn, the brooding, hot, ace of Brevard starts talking to her and trying to convince her that she is capable of much more. Can she escape the clutches of the Elite society, or will her life be defined by how many heirs she can produce? Lynxed Crazy is something Alyssa is used to, but a magical realm with vampires, centaurs, and evil queens is too much even for her. Escaping the orphanage, Alyssa thinks she’s setting out for a new life. A strange thunderstorm transports her and dozens of others to another dimension, and Alyssa must learn to survive in this new world. After escaping from the evil queen who treats the humans as slaves, vampires after her blood, and witches out for her head, she puts her trust in a lynx. The lynx seems as smart as a human and trustworthy, but her options are limited in this world of magic. When the lynx gives itself up to the queen to save her, Alyssa is determined to train and rescue him. But complacency will get you killed here, just like trusting the wrong people can. Sybil Deceived As Princess of the Fairies of the Northern Troupe, Sybil is expected to learn about the various trades. However, none expected her to take such an interest in the warriors and wish to wield a sword. She never expected to catch the eye of the commander of the warriors, the most sought-after male in the Troupe. Her activities earn the dismayed looks of many, but Sybil isn't one to turn her back on where her heart lies. The disapproval she's earned proves to be deadly, and the person responsible is likely closer to her than she could have ever expected. Of Sky and Sea After an intense fight leaves her wounded, Nami befriends a dragon. A bond is forged, one that might brave the very fires of fate should the need arise. Yet, their relationship is put to the test when their respective leaders forbid contact between races. Can the link between mermaid and dragon survive?

Download or read book Collecting Qualitative Data written by Virginia Braun and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there more to qualitative data collection than face-to-face interviews? Answering with a resounding 'yes', this book introduces the reader to a wide array of exciting and novel techniques for collecting qualitative data in the social and health sciences. Collecting Qualitative Data offers a practical and accessible guide to textual, media and virtual methods currently under-utilised within qualitative research. Contributors from a range of disciplines share their experiences of implementing a particular technique, provide step-by-step guidance to using that approach, and highlight both the potential and pitfalls. From gathering blog data to the story completion method to conducting focus groups online, the methods and data types featured in this book are ideally suited to student projects and other time- and resource-limited research. In presenting several innovative ways that data can be collected, new modes of scholarship and new research orientations are opened up to student researchers and established scholars alike.

Download or read book Phylogenetic Supertrees written by O. R. P. Bininda-Emonds and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-08-25 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book on "phylogenetic supertrees", a recent, but controversial development for inferring evolutionary trees. Rather than analyze the combined primary character data directly, supertree construction proceeds by combining the tree topologies derived from those data. This difference in strategy has allowed for the exciting possibility of larger, more complete phylogenies than are otherwise currently possible, with the potential to revolutionize evolutionarily-based research. This book provides a comprehensive look at supertrees, ranging from the methods used to build supertrees to the significance of supertrees to bioinformatic and biological research. Reviews of many the major supertree methods are provided and four new techniques, including a Bayesian implementation of supertrees, are described for the first time. The far-reaching impact of supertrees on biological research is highlighted both in general terms and through specific examples from diverse clades such as flowering plants, even-toed ungulates, and primates. The book also critically examines the many outstanding challenges and problem areas for this relatively new field, showing the way for supertree construction in the age of genomics. Interdisciplinary contributions from the majority of the leading authorities on supertree construction in all areas of the bioinformatic community (biology, computer sciences, and mathematics) will ensure that this book is a valuable reference with wide appeal to anyone interested in phylogenetic inference.

Download or read book Social Science Technical Systems and Cooperative Work written by Geoffrey Bowker and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to directly address the question of how to bridge what has been termed the "great divide" between the approaches of systems developers and those of social scientists to computer supported cooperative work--a question that has been vigorously debated in the systems development literature. Traditionally, developers have been trained in formal methods and oriented to engineering and formal theoretical problems; many social scientists in the CSCW field come from humanistic traditions in which results are reported in a narrative mode. In spite of their differences in style, the two groups have been cooperating more and more in the last decade, as the "people problems" associated with computing become increasingly evident to everyone. The authors have been encouraged to examine, rigorously and in depth, the theoretical basis of CSCW. With contributions from field leaders in the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, Mexico, and the United States, this volume offers an exciting overview of the cutting edge of research and theory. It constitutes a solid foundation for the rapidly coalescing field of social informatics. Divided into three parts, this volume covers social theory, design theory, and the sociotechnical system with respect to CSCW. The first set of chapters looks at ways of rethinking basic social categories with the development of distributed collaborative computing technology--concepts of the group, technology, information, user, and text. The next section concentrates more on the lessons that can be learned at the design stage given that one wants to build a CSCW system incorporating these insights--what kind of work does one need to do and how is understanding of design affected? The final part looks at the integration of social and technical in the operation of working sociotechnical systems. Collectively the contributors make the argument that the social and technical are irremediably linked in practice and so the "great divide" not only should be a thing of the past, it should never have existed in the first place.
