In this stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed novel Spin State, Chris Moriarty depicts a grim future in which the final frontier may well be extinction. For as far-flung planets are terraformed and Earth’s age-old conflicts are contracted out to AIs, humanity is losing the only war that counts: the war for survival. Call Arkady a clone with a conscience. Or call him a traitor. A member of the space-faring Syndicates, Arkady has defected to Israel with a hot commodity: a genetic weapon powerful enough to wipe out humanity. But Israel’s not buying it. They’re selling it—and Arkady—to the highest bidder. As the auction heats up, the Artificial Life Emancipation Front sends in Major Catherine Li. Already drummed out of the Peacekeepers for “war crimes,” Li has now literally hooked up with an AI who has lived many lifetimes and shunted through many bodies. And while they each have their own definition of victory, together they have only one chance at survival. . . .
Kate Brown has the opportunity of a lifetime: If she successfully completes her next big project, she'll be promoted to partner in her publicity firm--one of the best in Manhattan. The only trouble? The "big project" is restoring the image of her bad-boy ex-boyfriend, hotel heir Devin Underhill. She takes on the project with colleague Michael Korten and starts to develop feelings for him, but admitting that is as difficult as the project itself. This doesn't stop Kate from experiencing a tinge of jealousy, however, when Hollywood starlet Miranda Hamilton, an old friend of Michael's, shows up. While Kate tries to decipher the relationship between the two, Devin latches onto Miranda, while simultaneously trying to weasel his way back into Kate's life. Kate definitely has her work cut out for her as she navigates the tabloids, the jet-setting New York social scene, and her own confused feelings about Michael. And just when she thinks she has it all under control, Kate learns the hard way that there are some situations she just can't spin.
Valerie Winslow never thought life in the tiny country of Schwerinborg could be so great. But then she never thought she would be dating the prince of Schwerinborg either! Georg, a real prince, is also her first real boyfriend. And then everything falls apart. Georg's decided they need to cool off for a while and her dad's sending her back to Virginia to visit her mom. Valerie's bummed -- until she decides to go out with her old crush, David Anderson. David may not be a prince, but maybe he'll take her mind off of Georg -- or will he?
This book explores how class-based resources and interests embedded in large organizations are linked to powerful structures and processes which in turn are rapidly polarizing the U.S. into a highly unequal, 'double diamond' class structure. The authors show how and why American class membership in the 21st century is based on an organizationally-based distribution of critical resources including income, investment capital, credentialed skills verified by elite schools, and social connections to organizational leaders.
Spin Control, originally published in 1992, chronicles the development of the powerful White House Office of Communications and its pivotal role in molding our perception of the modern presidency. In this new edition, John Maltese brings his analysis up to date with a chapter detailing the media techniques of the Bush administration, the 1992 presidential campaign (including the use of talk shows like 'Larry King Live'), and the early Clinton administration.
Nuclear spins are highly coherent quantum objects that were featured in early ideas and demonstrations of quantum information processing. In silicon, the high-fidelity coherent control of a single phosphorus (31-P) nuclear spin I=1/2 has demonstrated record-breaking coherence times, entanglement, and weak measurements. In this thesis, we demonstrate the coherent quantum control of a single antimony (123-Sb) donor atom, whose higher nuclear spin I = 7/2 corresponds to eight nuclear spin states. However, rather than conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we employ nuclear electric resonance (NER) to drive nuclear spin transitions using localized electric fields produced within a silicon nanoelectronic device. This method exploits an idea first proposed in 1961 but never realized experimentally with a single nucleus, nor in a non-polar crystal such as silicon. We then present a realistic proposal to construct a chaotic driven top from the nuclear spin of 123-Sb. Signatures of chaos are expected to arise for experimentally realizable parameters of the system, allowing the study of the relation between quantum decoherence and classical chaos, and the observation of dynamical tunneling. These results show that high-spin quadrupolar nuclei could be deployed as chaotic models, strain sensors, hybrid spin-mechanical quantum systems, and quantum-computing elements using all-electrical controls.
The New Class Society introduces students to the sociology of class structure and inequalities as it asks whether or not the American dream has faded. The fourth edition of this powerful book demonstrates how and why class inequalities in the United States have been widened, hardened, and become more entrenched than ever. The fourth edition has been extensively revised and reorganized throughout, including a new introduction that offers an overview of key themes and shorter chapters that cover a wider range of topics. New material for the fourth edition includes a discussion of "The Great Recession" and its ongoing impact, the demise of the middle class, rising costs of college and increasing student debt, the role of electronic media in shaping people's perceptions of class, and more.
The study is presented in terms of the following major problem areas: interpretation of results of spin-model research, analytical spin studies, techniques involved in obtaining measurements of various parameters in the spin, effectiveness of controls during spin and recoveries, influence of long noses, strakes, and canards on spin and recovery characteristics, and correlation of spin and recovery characteristics for recent airplane and model designs.
