  Book Cover


EXTINCTION WARRIOR:

One Girl's Round-the-World Quest to Find Her Parents

and Save Endangereds


In this thrilling blend of 'Spy Kids' meets 'Zootopia' with a dash of 'Jurassic Park' intrigue, join clairvoyant 12-year-old Luki Sloan, her arctic fox Mig, and the android Tuk on a quest against the Red Dragon gang to rescue her scientist-detective parents from the clutches of the notorious animal trafficker White Wolf! Set in the year 2155, this inspiring fantasy sheds light on the perils of climate change and the extinction crisis while shining a hopeful light on a seemingly insurmountable situation. Luki's parents are scientist-detectives for World Endangered Animal Police Protection (WEAPP), and go missing while hunting White Wolf and his gang in the Bering Strait. Once Luki activates Tuk, there is only one thing to do—masquerade as traffickers to try and find them and White Wolf. They lie to Luki’s adoptive Indigenous grandparents and set off from their remote home in the Arctic to travel the world, collecting a diverse assortment of endangered animals to entice the Red Dragon leader. They eventually locate White Wolf and gain access to his superyacht where disaster strikes. Their travels take Luki, Tuk and Mig from a cyclone in Tahiti into the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico; they face an attack by an Eagle owl in Russia, a porcupine attack in the Transylvanian Alps, the stinging bites of driver ants in the Serengeti, and the possibility of pirates in the Mozambique Channel before they make their way to White Wolf's superyacht in the Bay of Bengal near Myanmar— where they confront a series of shocking discoveries. As the story unfolds, readers learn about Partula snails, Puerto Rican crested toads, cinereous vultures, African wild dogs, radiated tortoises, pangolins, tarsiers and a variety of other animals while gaining insight into indigenous Arctic culture, diverse environments and acquire a greater understanding of world geography from maps throughout the text. A story for all ages, but an excellent choice for kids ages nine to fourteen, this story weaves real science with a fantastic vision of a future world in which a 12-year-old wrestles with friendship, loneliness, fear, loss and her own strengths.

MIND: PSYCHOLOGY

THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...


This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

 Book Cover


Bell’ e Buono:

The Recipe of a Life Lived Through Food


Embark on an extraordinary culinary journey with Carlo De Filippo, where the art of cuisine and the beauty of life converge in perfect harmony. "Bell’ e Buono," a Neapolitan expression meaning "beautiful and good," encapsulates the essence of Carlo’s philosophy—where every dish is a masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. But in true Neapolitan fashion, it also signifies something unexpected and wonderful, much like the surprises life often brings.

From the picturesque lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast to the bustling kitchens of luxury hotels, Carlo De Filippo’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and an unyielding love for food. In January 2001, Carlo planted his roots on the Amalfi Coast, building his dream from the ground up. Nearly two decades later, alongside his strong and supportive wife Mariantonia and their two daughters, Carlo has turned Pineta 1903 into a culinary haven.

This book is not just a collection of recipes; it's a narrative of discovery and triumph. Carlo, who humbly describes himself as a “man without talent,” found his true calling in the kitchen, transforming his life and the lives of those around him. "BELL’ E BUONO" invites you into his world, sharing traditional recipes from the ancient cuisine of the Amalfi Coast, including the secret Pesto Amalfitano and the delightful Fogliolino liqueur made from lemon leaves.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook, these recipes will bring a touch of the Amalfi Coast to your kitchen, allowing you to replicate the magic of Carlo’s culinary creations. 

Join Carlo De Filippo in celebrating the recipe of a life lived through food—beautiful, good, and unexpectedly wonderful.

 Book Cover


Data Structure Synthesis:

Boosting Productivity Through Data Structure Reuse


Know the math that underpins everything we do in data.

With storytelling and lots of examples, Doug “The Data Guy” Needham explains the math that creates the foundation for efficient databases, flexible data interchange formats, and robust applications. Data modeling, SQL, and relational database design are covered in detail using global standards as well as many examples in Snowflake. Also covered are dimensional modeling, JSON, XML, data vault, and graph databases. 

The math you will learn and be able to apply includes set theory, logic (implicational, conditional, prepositional, and first order predicate), functions, relational algebra and calculus, graph theory, and combinatorics. 

There is foundational knowledge required to excel in any discipline. Accountants must know double-entry bookkeeping, doctors must know basic human anatomy, car mechanics must know engine mechanics, and data professionals must know the math behind their profession. This book provides the fundamental knowledge needed to appreciate and excel in data management. 

You do not need to be a mathematician (or even like math!) to master the formulas and techniques within these pages that will prepare you for building robust data structures and queries within Agile timeframes.
