Book Description
This is a Christian book critics are favorably comparing with the "Left Behind" series about the end of the world. Author William S. Creed read the following biblical passage in the book of Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." It indicates there shall be a great deception in the last days to which people of all religious beliefs shall set aside those beliefs and give themselves over. It is so convincing, so the passage indicates, that even Christians would follow, were it not for the Holy Spirit. What could be so a powerful deception that all men and women would do this? To cast aside beliefs they have held for thousands of years, beliefs their ancestors, families, and friends may have died for in the past--and still do today? This is subject of Creed's book, Comes The End. When down-on-his-luck reporter Andy Moore stumbles onto the story of his career, he quickly realizes that what everyone in the world believes to be a comet falling to earth is in fact something much more sinister. Moore blows the lid off a story the government has intended to keep secret: Another life force is hurtling toward the earth. Soon he is teamed up with his nemesis, fellow reporter Tommy "TJ" Jenkins, who along with Andy has been chosen to view the ships land. Questions began to rise in the minds of Andy and TJ as their stories develop. Are these beings from deep space, the long-awaited visitation from another world? Or are they from the depths of hell, masquerading as aliens? Is this the dawn of a new and wonderful era of humankind, or a seduction of men's mindsand souls into eternal hell? Is this the beginning of forever--or the beginning of the end?

Book Description
This book focusses on techniques for automating the procedure of creating external labelings, also known as callout labelings. In this labeling type, the features within an illustration are connected by thin leader lines (called leaders) with their labels, which are placed in the empty space surrounding the image. In general, textual labels describing graphical features in maps, technical illustrations (such as assembly instructions or cutaway illustrations), or anatomy drawings are an important aspect of visualization that convey information on the objects of the visualization and help the reader understand what is being displayed. Most labeling techniques can be classified into two main categories depending on the "distance" of the labels to their associated features. Internal labels are placed inside or in the direct neighborhood of features, while external labels, which form the topic of this book, are placed in the margins outside the illustration, where they do not occlude the illustration itself. Both approaches form well-studied topics in diverse areas of computer science with several important milestones. The goal of this book is twofold. The first is to serve as an entry point for the interested reader who wants to get familiar with the basic concepts of external labeling, as it introduces a unified and extensible taxonomy of labeling models suitable for a wide range of applications. The second is to serve as a point of reference for more experienced people in the field, as it brings forth a comprehensive overview of a wide range of approaches to produce external labelings that are efficient either in terms of different algorithmic optimization criteria or in terms of their usability in specific application domains. The book mostly concentrates on algorithmic aspects of external labeling, but it also presents various visual aspects that affect the aesthetic quality and usability of external labeling.

Book Description
"So while the assumption when I was born was that I was or would grow up to be a neurotypical heterosexual boy, that whole idea didn't really pan out long term." In this candid, first-of-its-kind memoir, Laura Kate Dale recounts what life is like growing up as a gay trans woman on the autism spectrum. From struggling with sensory processing, managing socially demanding situations and learning social cues and feminine presentation, through to coming out as trans during an autistic meltdown, Laura draws on her personal experiences from life prior to transition and diagnosis, and moving on to the years of self-discovery, to give a unique insight into the nuances of sexuality, gender and autism, and how they intersect. Charting the ups and downs of being autistic and on the LGBT spectrum with searing honesty and humour, this is an empowering, life-affirming read for anyone who's felt they don't fit in.

Book Description
Through a detailed reading of five great modern American plays--The Iceman Cometh, A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?--Walter A. Davis calls for a more penetrating look at drama and its psychological impact on the audience. Establishing connections between literary criticism and psychoanalysis, he challenges ruling assumptions of both disciplines. Unconventional and original, his theory demonstrates how the theater, as a potential threat to social order, expresses the secrets and discontents of its audience.
