Broken Lines


Book Description

It's been a week without power. No phones. No computers. Nothing. Whatever shred of humanity is left in people is slowly dwindling away. Gangs are forming, people are starving, and the whole country is in a free-for-all.Accompanied by his neighbor, Nelson, Mike leaves Pittsburgh and heads to his family's cabin in Ohio. For Mike the only thing worse than not making it to the cabin is the fear of his family not being there when he does.




Broken Lines


Book Description

The essays in this collection explore the genealogical literature of late-medieval Britain and France in relation to issues of identity, the transmission of power, and cultural, socio-political and economic developments. They give the reader a complex understanding of genealogical literature and its relationships with other genres.




Broken Lines


Book Description

Poetry. Reference. Textbook. This book is very instructive when it comes to such things as line breaks, overcoming writer's block, editing, manuscript layout, and staying motivated. Judith Skillman draws from her own experiences as poet, workshop leader and teacher. This isn't a how-to-write-poetry book, rather it's a how-to-improve-your-poetry book; one that benefits all levels, from beginner to seasoned pro. "In BROKEN LINES, Judith Skillman distills the wisdom gained from her long successful career as a poet into a succinct few dozen pages that are remarkable for their liveliness and enthusiasm as well as for their accessibility. Aspiring poets should find the practical advice she offers not only helpful but inspiring."—Stephen Meats, Poetry Editor, The Midwest Quarterly

Once Upon a Broken Heart


Book Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART marks the launch of a new series from Stephanie Garber about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings . . . until she learns that the love of her life will marry another. Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing. But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game — and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy.




Geometry of Continued Fractions


Book Description

Traditionally a subject of number theory, continued fractions appear in dynamical systems, algebraic geometry, topology, and even celestial mechanics. The rise of computational geometry has resulted in renewed interest in multidimensional generalizations of continued fractions. Numerous classical theorems have been extended to the multidimensional case, casting light on phenomena in diverse areas of mathematics. This book introduces a new geometric vision of continued fractions. It covers several applications to questions related to such areas as Diophantine approximation, algebraic number theory, and toric geometry. The reader will find an overview of current progress in the geometric theory of multidimensional continued fractions accompanied by currently open problems. Whenever possible, we illustrate geometric constructions with figures and examples. Each chapter has exercises useful for undergraduate or graduate courses.




Lines that Wiggle


Book Description

A variety of monsters and other creatures demonstrate some of the different things that lines can do, from curve and curl to zig-zag.




Inspection and Monitoring Technologies of Transmission Lines with Remote Sensing


Book Description

Inspection and Monitoring Technologies of Transmission Lines with Remote Sensing helps readers build a thorough understanding of new technologies and world-class practices developed by the State Grid Corporation of China—the organization responsible for the world's largest power distribution network. Monitoring the operational status of high-voltage transmission lines is critical in supply assurance and continuity. Given the physical size, geographical, and climate variances that transmission lines are subject to, remote sensing and inspection is a critical technology for power distribution organizations. This reference covers current and developing technologies, equipment, and methods for the safe and secure operation and maintenance of transmission lines, including satellite remote sensing technology, infrared and ultraviolet detection technology, helicopter inspection technology, and condition monitoring technology. - Covers operational and technical principles, and equipment used in transmission line inspection and monitoring, with a focus on remote sensing technologies and solutions - Covers power line fundamentals, remote sensing technologies, inspection technologies, fault detection technologies, and on-line monitoring - Focuses on practical equipment and systems parameters to ensure readers are able to meet operational needs - Covers control technologies that ensure safe and consistent transmission operation
