Help! I’m stuck for the night with the grumpy cowboy that has a dirty mouth and a touch that ignites my body…JennaIt was supposed to be a simple delivery for my father. I’d hoped to avoid Walker Hale. He’s a grumpy cowboy, probably the grumpiest one in Courage County. He’s annoying and bossy and so hot.When a storm leaves us stranded together, I’m stuck with the cowboy who fuels my dirtiest fantasies. Turns out, he’s even b...

In The Protestant Ethic, Max Weber opposes the Marxist concept of dialectical materialism and relates the rise of the capitalist economy to the Calvinist belief in the moral value of hard work and the fulfillment of one's worldly duties.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genr...

What is the appropriate geometric structure for neural networks that process spatial signals on Euclidean spaces or more general manifolds? This question takes us on a journey which leads to a gauge field theory of convolutional networks.Feature vector fields: The spatial signals we are interested in are fields of feature vectors. Feature fields allow to describe data like images, audio, videos, point clouds, or tensor fields, such as fluid flows and electromagnetic fields....

This book introduces approaches to generalize the benefits of equivariant deep learning to a broader set of learned structures through learned homomorphisms. In the field of machine learning, the idea of incorporating knowledge of data symmetries into artificial neural networks is known as equivariant deep learning and has led to the development of cutting edge architectures for image and physical data processing. The power of these models originates from data-specific structures ingrained...

"Secrecy Order explodes onto the page with thrilling excitement." ~ DiAnn MillsPowerful nations hunt for Marc Wayne and his invention which promises to redefine weapons and global warfare. Meanwhile, in a remote hiding place, Marc serves as bait in hopes to turn his predators into prey. When an illegal arms dealer leverages Marc for his own ends, will Marc ever see home and family again? As time runs out, can he trust the electro-physicist, Lei Quong, enough to escape with...
