Bøger af Alexander Holt

From Alexander Holt comes a novel of revelation, hilarious sexual promiscuity and a representation of the depths that the mind will go in order to achieve peace at the end of its days. Ayden is a man atop the Los Angeles legal and literary food chain and a lost explorer of the open ocean. A once free-surfer born to the shorelines of Oregon and North Shore O'ahu, Ayden finds himself writing of his struggles in attempt to reconcile a past alternative lifestyle and his financial and sexual success as the top entertainment lawyer in LA. While Ayden spends his years drifting in and out of lucidity between the life he lives and the one he thinks he lives - he develops a mental photo album of memories that not even he can accurately decipher. Through four distinct phases of life, Ayden explores the constructs of his reality, and at the end of his days asks the question: do we really need to live the life we want? Or is thinking we have fulfilling enough.

Elections are a pinnacle of modern democracy. Fair elections have been a key pillar to the success of representative democracy; yet, many of the age-old problems still exist. One of these problems is voter turnout and making voting accessible to every member of that democracy. In today¿s elections, we are at an interesting crossroads of technology and convenience. California has recognized both trends and is implementing the Voter¿s Choice Act (VCA) or SB 450 to guide the future of voting in the state by allowing people to vote over a multi-day period and at any location of their choosing. With this change, new voting locations will play a more critical role to the process than ever before. This paper discusses the design and implementation of a web GIS application that will assist Los Angeles County stakeholders and elections officials in choosing these new voting locations by providing tools for analysis. The tools developed are designed to assess potential site locations and their relationship to voters and businesses, voter age demographics, and voter turnout.
