Teenage Roadhogs educates parents and teenagers about the rules of the road and provides the common sense information that is necessary to be a good driver. In a humorous, light-hearted fashion, Michael Schein (a fellow teen), "speaks" to teenagers and reassures them that they are not alone in their driving experience. In this book, teens will learn how to communicate effectively with the person teaching them how to drive; the real scoop behind the common fears and misconceptions all new drivers have; how to deal with peer pressure when driving with friends for the first time; how to handle the many potential distractions of the road; the dangers of drinking; concise driving rules such as speed control, turning, stopping and parking regulations, and more. Plus readers get 100 sample driving tests questions and a state-by-state comparison of various driving laws.

In the beautiful Puget Sound valley, there are bones beneath our feet . . . BONES BENEATH OUR FEET is the lively historical epic tale of the conquest of the Natives of Puget Sound by the "Boston" tribe. Focused on the period from 1844-1858, BONES BENEATH OUR FEET explodes with political intrigue, stormy intermarriage, misunderstanding and fear, sudden massacres, tender mercies, greed and sacrifice, trials of law and of spirit, open warfare and martial law, funerals and tears. This astonishing tale resonates powerfully even today: though the gravestone of Chief Leschi, leader of the Native cause, reads: "LESCHI - Judicially Murdered Feb. 19, 1858," in 2004 Leschi's name was cleared by a special Historical Court of Inquiry headed by the Chief Justice of the Washington Supreme Court. This is not just a native story. It is the story of all Americans who live on this beautiful land - a story for all who are passionate about tolerance, dignity and liberty.

A Foreword Reviews IndieFAB Award Finalist for 2015 History Book of the Year! Impeccable scholarship wrapped in page-turning prose: John Surratt: The Lincoln Assassin Who Got Away presents an astonishing new perspective on the Lincoln Assassination. Previous books and films have focused on the triggerman, John Wilkes Booth, or the military trial of the conspirators and the hanging of Mary E. Surratt, John Surratt s mother, but no major book has focused on this bold and clever Confederate Secret Service agent who was Booth s closest associate during the four months leading up to the assassination. Surratt is the man who met with the Confederate high command just weeks prior to the assassination! Adding to the intrigue, Surratt s two-year run from the law is a fascinating adventure, spanning the globe from New York to Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy and Egypt. At one point Surratt joined the Pope s army in Italy, until he was unmasked by a former acquaintance who tracked him across the ocean and the European Continent. Arrested by order of the Pope, Surratt escaped from the hilltop castle of Veroli by a daring leap over a parapet into a 100-foot chasm.John Surratt: The Lincoln Assassin Who Got Away explores the relationships that defined John Surratt s life: his love-hate for his college chum and bed-mate Louis J. Weichmann, who testified against him and his mother; his adventures with and possible love for the mysterious veiled lady spy, Sarah Nettie Slater; and his profound guilt over his executed mother, whom he abandoned to save his own skin. Ultimately a hung jury freed him from any punishment for the crime of the century other than survival at the expense of his soul.

Galois Theory plays a key role in many mathematical disciplines, such as number theory, algebra, topology, and geometry. This special volume of the Luxembourg based peer-reviewed mathematics journal "Travaux mathématiques" unites four instructional texts that have grown out of lectures delivered at the Winter School on Galois Theory held at the University of Luxembourg in February 2012. It also includes one research article.  Gebhard Böckle's contribution is a quite comprehensive survey on Galois representations. It focusses on the key ideas, and the long list of recommended references enables the reader to pursue himself/herself any of the mentioned topics in greater depth. Michael Schein's notes sketch the proof due to Khare and Wintenberger of one of the major theorems in arithmetic algebraic geometry in recent years, namely Serre's Modularity Conjecture. Moshe Jarden's contribution is based on his book on algebraic patching. It develops the method of algebraic patching from scratch and gives applications in contemporary Galois theory. David Harbater's text is complementary to Jarden's notes, and describes recent applications of patching in other aspects of algebra, for example: differential algebra, local-global principles, quadratic forms, and more. The focus is on the big picture and on providing the reader with intuition. The research article by Wulf-Dieter Geyer and Moshe Jarden concerns model completeness of valued PAC fields.
