The concept of right and wrong, of good and bad, is taught to us from childhood. It’s a guiding principle as we journey through the decades of life. Easy to keep to? Sometimes it’s easier not to.Authors of the talent of Franz Kafka, F Scott Fitzgerald, Robert Louis Stevenson and many others create characters and circumstances that test their capacity for morality to the limit.1 - Stories Exploring Morality - An Introduction2 - The Dead - Part 1 by James Joyce

It was a catastrophe without precedent in recorded history: for months on end, starting in A.D. 535, a strange, dusky haze robbed much of the earth of normal sunlight. Crops failed in Asia and the Middle East as global weather patterns radically altered. Bubonic plague, exploding out of Africa, wiped out entire populations in Europe. Flood and drought brought ancient cultures to the brink of collapse. In a matter of decades, the old order died and a new world—essentially the modern world a...

A Deep Dive into Feminism: A 26-Book Collection gathers essays, polemics, fiction, utopian speculation, social criticism, and political argument into a capacious history of feminist thought. Moving from early modern challenges to patriarchal authority through suffrage-era advocacy and twentieth-century reimaginings of work, marriage, sexuality, and citizenship, it reveals feminism as a contested, evolving literary and intellectual tradition. Foundational calls for women's education and civ...

**Learn how to use R for everything from workload automation and creating online reports, to interpreting data, map making, and more.Written by the founder of a very popular online training platform for the R programming language!**The R programming language is a remarkably powerful tool for data analysis and visualization, but its steep learning curve can be intimidating for some.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the 23rd International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering, held on Jeju Island, Korea on July 6-10, 2015. Domain decomposition methods solve boundary value problems by splitting them into smaller boundary value problems on subdomains and iterating to coordinate the solution between adjacent subdomains. Domain decomposition methods have considerable potential for a parallelization of the finite element metho...

This book focuses on computational methods for large-scale statistical inverse problems and provides an introduction to statistical Bayesian and frequentist methodologies. Recent research advances for approximation methods are discussed, along with Kalman filtering methods and optimization-based approaches to solving inverse problems. The aim is to cross-fertilize the perspectives of researchers in the areas of data assimilation, statistics, large-scale optimization, applied and computatio...
