I’m Wick, short for Wicked Witch… and with a family name of Bitch, my life growing up was a living hell. But I survived, and today I’m a Private Investigator from Tampa, Florida, and I’m on a job that lands me in the bowels of a super Airbus… the kind I’ve never seen the likes of before. I think I just took on a job I am in no way equipped to handle. I’m Max DuPont, billionaire and owner of CyberCo Airlines in Florida. I like money and power; therefore, I work hard. I play even harder—at my exclusive establishment, Club Decadent Skies. A snoopy private eye disrupts the anniversary flight of our first Airbus club. The bratty trespasser needs a lesson—a mile-high experience she isn’t bound to forget. Except, even the best laid-out plan has a flaw. Max soon realizes there is more to the fiery PI than meets the eye. When her life is in danger, he is forced to play the hero… a role he was more than capable of performing. Please note: Although the blurb is in 1st POV, the book is written in 3rd POV. If you’re ready for the flight of a lifetime with a suspenseful back storyline that tests each couple’s trust and resilience, then this is the series for you. So many of you have asked for more stories like Club Alpha Cove, Club Wicked Cove, Club Devil’s Cove, and Castle Sin. Well, I listened, and here it is… Club Decadent Skies series. If you think you read hot mile-high stories before… think again!

Applied Mathematics: Body & Soul is a mathematics education reform project developed at Chalmers University of Technology and includes a series of volumes and software. The program is motivated by the computer revolution opening new possibilitites of computational mathematical modeling in mathematics, science and engineering. It consists of a synthesis of Mathematical Analysis (Soul), Numerical Computation (Body) and Application. Volumes I-III present a modern version of Calculus and Linear Algebra, including constructive/numerical techniques and applications intended for undergraduate programs in engineering and science. Further volumes present topics such as Dynamical Systems, Fluid Dynamics, Solid Mechanics and Electro-Magnetics on an advanced undergraduate/graduate level. The authors are leading researchers in Computational Mathematics who have written various successful books.

The history of the Scottish monarchy is a long tale of triumph over adversity, characterised by the personal achievements of remarkable rulers who transformed their fragile kingdom into the master of northern Britain.The Kings and Queens of Scotland charts that process, from the earliest Scots and Pictish kings of around ad 400 through to the union of parliaments in 1707, tracing it through the lives of the men and women whose ambitions drove it forward on the often rocky path from its semi-mythical foundations to its integration into the Stewart kingdom of Great Britain. It is a route waymarked with such towering personalities as Macbeth, Robert the Bruce and Mary Queen of Scots, but directed also by a host of less well-known figures such as David I, who extended his kingdom almost to the gates of York, and James IV, builder of the finest navy in northern Europe. Their will and ambition, successes and failures not only shaped modern Scotland, but have left their mark throughout the British Isles and the wider world.

This book offers a fresh, innovative analysis of contemporary German economic policy, containing essays from non-Germanic, internationally distinguished economists from around the world, arguing for a more expansionary macroeconomic policy.

The failure of the left in Britain to achieve its objectives in the past, and the rapidly changing nature of popular involvement in politics in recent years, both suggest the need for a reappraisal of socialist strategy in the 1980s. The Popular and the Political explores the need to redefine socialism in terms which extend beyond 'statism', which has been the mark of both the social democracy of the last two Labour government and the Marxist left, and which reflect the changing nature of contemporary Britain. The essays presented here consider social policy in a wide range of fields, health, housing, energy and economic planning, as well as the broad questions of democratic involvement in the political process.
