Soon enough, nobody will remember life before the Internet. What does this unavoidable fact mean? For future generations, it won't mean anything very obvious. This book argues that amid all the changes we're experiencing, the most interesting is the one that future generations will find hardest to grasp.

The essays cover girlhood around the world and cover such key areas as schooling, sexuality, popular culture and identity.

It's 1992 and three lives are about to collide against the flaming backdrop of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Vietnam veteran Harry Hudson is a journalist fleeing his past: the war, a failed marriage and a fear-ridden childhood. Rootless, he stutters, wrestles with depression and is aware that he's passed the point at which victim becomes victimiser. He explores the city's lowest dives, the only places where he feels at home, meeting a prostitute and a struggling bar owner who eventually lead him to the insight he needs to change his fate.

This book aims first to prove the local Langlands conjecture for GLn over a p-adic field and, second, to identify the action of the decomposition group at a prime of bad reduction on the l-adic cohomology of the "e;simple"e; Shimura varieties. These two problems go hand in hand. The results represent a major advance in algebraic number theory, finally proving the conjecture first proposed in Langlands's 1969 Washington lecture as a non-abelian generalization of local class field theory. The local Langlands conjecture for GLn(K), where K is a p-adic field, asserts the existence of a correspondence, with certain formal properties, relating n-dimensional representations of the Galois group of K with the representation theory of the locally compact group GLn(K). This book constructs a candidate for such a local Langlands correspondence on the vanishing cycles attached to the bad reduction over the integer ring of K of a certain family of Shimura varieties. And it proves that this is roughly compatible with the global Galois correspondence realized on the cohomology of the same Shimura varieties. The local Langlands conjecture is obtained as a corollary. Certain techniques developed in this book should extend to more general Shimura varieties, providing new instances of the local Langlands conjecture. Moreover, the geometry of the special fibers is strictly analogous to that of Shimura curves and can be expected to have applications to a variety of questions in number theory.

Sam's story is well known to Sedona residents. He is a coyote hybrid whose story is well told in the book The Miracle of Sam. Now he has a beautiful sister named Athena, a wolf hybrid who came to us from the local shelter, just like Sam. Things changed for the better when Sam, Athena, Mike, and Linda became a family unit.This book tells how Sam, Mike, Linda, and Athena found each other and created a pack of hiking buddies, all of whose lives were enhanced by this unique union. There are adventures, beautiful scenery, and exciting activities in store for the reader of this book.

"Falling Down Getting Up" is about an incredible journey in life. It begins with a personal and revealing story of the author, Michael Harris, and his falling down in life. There were a few big falls like losing more than half of his liver in an accident at 12 years old, becoming an alcoholic by 16, and nearly losing his legs from vascular disease at 27. Once Michael gets you through the gory details of the mess he found himself in, he'll tell you what he did to get back up out of that mess. Perhaps as you read "Falling Down Getting Up," you will chuckle a little (or a lot) and be entertained as Michael shares his journey of falling down and getting back up. If you find yourself falling down in life, hopefully the suggestions in "Falling Down Getting Up" just might help you get back up too.
