Book Description
With the world dying around him, young Jules must undertake a pilgrimage to seek a long lost spell that his aged and feeble master needs to set things right again. Together with his lifelong companion, he sets out on what he hopes to be the adventure of his life, a coming of age and confirmation of his apprenticeship. But the way is not easy. There are those who want to steal the magic for themselves, mutated creatures that have long gone savage, and a rival power intent on world domination to stand in his way. Worst of all, Jules learns that his own lack of control and inexperience with the magic of the Janiers may drive him mad or even kill him before he can complete his mission. To save his home, his family and a whole world that is tearing itself apart, Jules must brave catacombs, wild weather and a dark brotherhood of magic users. His only chance is the desperate hope he can master the power of the ancients before they consume him forever.

Book Description
This book presents the generative rules for formal written communication, in an engineering context, through the lens of mathematics. Aimed at engineering students headed for careers in industry and professionals needing a “just in time” writing resource, this pragmatic text covers all that engineers need to become successful workplace writers, and leaves out all pedagogical piffle they do not. Organized into three levels of skill-specific instruction, A Math-Based Writing System for Engineers: Sentence Algebra & Document Algorithms guides readers through the process of building accurate, precise sentences to structuring efficient, effective reports. The book’s indexed design provides convenient access for both selective and comprehensive readers, and is ideal for university students; professionals seeking a thorough, “left -brained” treatment of English grammar and “go to” document structures; and ESL engineers at all levels.
