Ze wstępu: Jedną z cech charakterystycznych Krakowa jest rozbudowany system tramwajowy. Jedno z niewielu miast na świecie, które nadal ma kolej miejską jako podstawowy środek transportu publicznego, siec, która sklada się z 25 linii i 56 mil tras dwutorowych, jest równie zlożona, co rozlegla. Z wyjątkiem Starego Miasta, tory są ulożone na prawie każdej większej ulicy w centrum miasta i rozgalęziają się do każdego zakątka obszaru metropolitalnego. Niebieskie tramwaje, charakterystyczne dla ich niebieskich barw, które są znakiem rozpoznawczym pojazdów od czasu elektryfikacji systemu w 1902 r. (pierwsze linie zostaly otwarte w 1882 r. jako wagony konne), są tak samo charakterystyczną cechą miasta, jak wiele jego starożytnych zabytków, atrakcją turystyczną samą w sobie.

"A sweetly charming love story that leaves the reader with a lasting sense of hope." -Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also a Star"The perfect novel to snuggle up with." -Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read A heartwarming and thoughtful enemies-to-lovers rom-com about two teens-one trying to save his family's failing pinball arcade, the other working for her tech genius dad who wants to take it over-who get trapped together in a snowstorm.Adam Stillwater is in over his head.

A black hole is a region of space-time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing-not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light-can escape from inside it. In Black Hole Factory, poet Eric Smith writes his way into and out of such holes with a commitment to the history and craftsmanship of the well-shaped poem. He compresses experience, intellect, and feeling within concentrated stanzas of compelling density, but his use of tradition, rhyme, and meter also become sources of surprise and innovation in his hands. The book has poems that communicate impressive control, intellect, and wit-poems that cultivate ironic self-awareness and detachment on the part of both poet and reader. And then there are breakthrough moments giving up both irony and control in which poet and reader experience a kind of gravitational collapse powerful enough to deform and reshape space-time. In the end, he has shaped a profound and accomplished manuscript of deep personal engagement graced by moving, open flights of lyricism.

A poem told in the form of intertwined narratives from each kingdom, "The Saga of Skalheim" evokes a bleak fantasy world reminiscent of Scandinavian sagas and ancient epics: In a land once ruled by the ancient Felrothi, three kingdoms of Skalheim vie for survival and dominance. Mylians migrants built their mighty citadel Mygdol around the ruins of an abandoned Felrothi Tower. The Fror built their fortress Frorguard into the frigid mountains below the Northlands. Groups of exiles arriving from the sea settled in the south and became known as the Fen clans. Years ago, Fen warlords invaded Mygdol, leading them to form an alliance with Frorguard. The two nations defeated the Fen and negotiated a hard-won truce. However, grim fortunes now await these tribes of Skalheim. The pact between the kingdoms of Frorguard and Mygdol is fraying and the resurgent Fen seek to exploit their mutual distrust. Most ominously, each nation has begun to discover the magicks of the extinct Felrothi race.

I have had a love of coffee for years. I have a degree in Pharmacology-Toxicology where I ran the coffee club. Noone else wanted the responsibility to absolutely positively show up every day to make that all important fluid extraction. I learned a lot about keeping consumers happy. One time I used deionized (purified) water for the brew. I received loads of complaints. That coffee wasn't working. I hypothesize it was the lack of minerals in the water that prevented the extraction of the caffeine from the coffee grounds. Tap water worked better but needed to be de-chlorinated to improve the flavor. After graduation and years later I was again in charge of this all important job for my group with Pesticide Enforcement Branch of California Environmental Protection Agency. All went well for years until our group was moved into the main building in downtown Sacramento. I would enter the break room and see a pot half filled with "coffee" sitting on the heat being ruined. This is where I again took over coffee production.

Evolutionary game theory has the potential to provide an integrated framework to model many aspects of evolution, development, and ecology. The reliable use of game models, however, requires an understanding of their behaviour when the number of players becomes very large, resulting in the emergence of thermodynamic limits. This behaviour is controlled by the symmetries that characterize the game, and the approach to the thermodynamic limit is governed by collective fluctuations in the actions of the players. In this book, the authors present methods to derive large-deviations limits for population processes, and apply these to game models illustrating the many roles of symmetry and collective fluctuations in evolutionary dynamics.
