NEXT STOP-UNKNOWN is a compilation of imaginative short stories with the feel and flavor of "The Twilight Zone"... fantastical and disjointed tales, each different from the next. Stories comprise eerie, supernatural and mystical events, science fiction drama, shifting time periods, dark fantasy, gothic horror; even with a bit of romance and a touch humor added into the mix. The reader is often surprised by the unexpected twist or surprise ending that he or she is faced with, leading them to realize, “I never saw that coming!” Characters exhibit the same attributes that we all have – to one extent or another. Perhaps more so here: greed, envy, narcissism, egotism, pride, bigotry, arrogance. Some may also exhibit love, friendship, loyalty. How the characters use their traits and desires are the main points that drive each story; but to what end?

Punk Rock examines the history of punk rock in its totality. Punk became a way of thinking about the role of culture and community in modern life. Punks forged real alternatives to producing popular music and built community around their music.

Can we correctly predict the flip of a fair coin more than half the time — or the decay of a single radioactive atom? Our intuition, based on a lifetime of experience, tells us that we cannot, as these are classic examples of what are known to be 50-50 guesses.But mathematics is filled with counterintuitive results — and this book discusses some surprising and entertaining examples. It is possible to devise experiments in which a flipped coin lands heads completely at random half the time, but we can also correctly predict when it will land heads more than half the time. The Fate of Schrodinger's Cat shows how high-school algebra and basic probability theory, with the invaluable assistance of computer simulations, can be used to investigate both the intuitive and the counterintuitive.This book explores fascinating and controversial questions involving prediction, decision-making, and statistical analysis in a number of diverse areas, ranging from whether there is such a thing as a 'hot hand' in shooting a basketball, to how we can successfully predict, more than half the time, the decay of the radioactive atom that determines the fate of Schrodinger's Cat.
