In an era when the church and its people actually believed in a universal infection of heresy and sorcery, they turned to this book for guidance. Daemonolatreiae, first published in France in 1595, was the leading witchcraft handbook of its day. In addition to defining the black arts and their practitioners--making it possible to "recognize" witches--it offered civil and religious authorities directives for persecution of the accused and punishment of the condemned. This book amplified and updated Malleus Maleficarum, the 1486 opus that established trial procedures for charges of heresy and witchcraft. Its author, Nicolas Remy, was a notorious magistrate who boasted of having personally condemned and burned hundreds of witches. Remy's collection of notes, opinions, and court records features lurid details of satanic pacts and sexual perversity as well as the particulars of numerous trials. A work of tremendous historical significance, this volume is complemented by an introduction and notes by Montague Summers, a celebrated occult historian and expert on witchcraft and supernatural lore.

The Stanford Geostatistical Modeling Software (SGeMS) is an open-source computer package for solving problems involving spatially related variables. It provides geostatistics practitioners with a user-friendly interface, an interactive 3-D visualization, and a wide selection of algorithms. This practical book provides a step-by-step guide to using SGeMS algorithms. It explains the underlying theory, demonstrates their implementation, discusses their potential limitations, and helps the user make an informed decision about the choice of one algorithm over another. Users can complete complex tasks using the embedded scripting language, and new algorithms can be developed and integrated through the SGeMS plug-in mechanism. SGeMS was the first software to provide algorithms for multiple-point statistics, and the book presents a discussion of the corresponding theory and applications. Incorporating the full SGeMS software (now available from www.cambridge.org/9781107403246), this book is a useful user-guide for Earth Science graduates and researchers, as well as practitioners of environmental mining and petroleum engineering.

With the world's attention on the Middle East and the Persian Gulf War, Madame Lin, a psychopathic Eurasian woman approaching middle-age, is setting a plan into motion. She wants to escape her sordid past and the domineering control of a cruel crime-boss by selling her sweatshops in Indonesia and building an elaborate biodome on the outskirts of Dallas. Within this structure, temple-dancers will perform for paying audiences, and an artificial paradise (complete with security guards) will keep her safely insulated from dealing with the consequences of her criminal past. When she meets Sonja, an apsiring model/dancer, the last piece of her plan seems to be coming into place. Sonja and her lover, an amateur photographer, have created a persona that fits perfectly into Madame Lin's artificial world - the reincarnation of the infamous Mata Hari. A tale of intrigue, adventure, romance, and self-discovery unfolds as the two lovers enter Madame Lin's world, one they know to be inherently dangerous, but one who's allure they find enticingly irresistable.
