Book Description
The Shroud of Turin-claimed to be the burial cloth of Christ-is stolen from a chapel in the Cathedral of Turin in the fall of 2004. The Shroud is perhaps the most famous relic in the Catholic Church, even though some believe it to be a fake. The thieves leave only one obscure clue: the relic will head off a disaster. Beneath the identity and the grand design of the thieves lies an opportunistic plan to tilt the Catholic Church eastward-again.

Book Description
Let me tell you about Faeries, let me take you away on a journey, an adventure. The Faultlines is an ancient name given to those places where the veil between this world and the Other is thinnest. It is the place where faeries dwell, creatures creep, and magic oozes through the cracks. Recently the Faultlines have been stirring, opening up to all who wish to see, and to all who dare to venture... Faeries of the Faultlines was an instant Kickstarter success in 2017, and this edited, expanded edition includes the complete original documentation from the greenmen to mermaids, with expanded sections and many more faeries to meet!

Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Graphic Novel
Author: Cynthia Levinson
Publisher: First Second
ISBN: 1250806127
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The latest volume in our World Citizen Comics graphic novel series, Fault Lines in the Constitution teaches readers how this founding document continues to shape modern American society. In 1787, after 116 days of heated debates and bitter arguments, the United States Constitution was created. This imperfect document set forth America’s guiding principles, but it would also introduce some of today's most contentious political issues—from gerrymandering, to the Electoral College, to presidential impeachment. With colorful art, compelling discourse, and true stories from America's past and present, Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Graphic Novel sheds light on how today's political struggles have their origins in the decisions of our Founding Fathers. Children’s book author Cynthia Levinson, constitutional law scholar Sanford Levinson, and artist Ally Shwed deftly illustrate how contemporary problems arose from this founding document—and then they offer possible solutions.

Quantum Computation with Topological Codes
Author: Keisuke Fujii
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 981287996X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
This book presents a self-consistent review of quantum computation with topological quantum codes. The book covers everything required to understand topological fault-tolerant quantum computation, ranging from the definition of the surface code to topological quantum error correction and topological fault-tolerant operations. The underlying basic concepts and powerful tools, such as universal quantum computation, quantum algorithms, stabilizer formalism, and measurement-based quantum computation, are also introduced in a self-consistent way. The interdisciplinary fields between quantum information and other fields of physics such as condensed matter physics and statistical physics are also explored in terms of the topological quantum codes. This book thus provides the first comprehensive description of the whole picture of topological quantum codes and quantum computation with them.
