Do you ever wonder how video gaming was invented? What came before your PlayStation or Xbox? This is the story of Ralph Baer, a refugee from Nazi Germany, who used his skills--and a lot of ingenuity and persistence--to make life a little more fun.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Maggie and Martin LaTour have been married just two years when she suddenly disappears during a camping trip to Mexico. When her disfigured body is discovered just a few miles from their campsite, the course of Martin's life is changed forever. After returning to the States, Martin takes a leave of absence from his job and, while teetering precariously between mental disintegration and the need for revenge, begins to focus on a new life mission to stop illegal aliens at all cost. Martin's sudden mega lottery win helps him finance a bizarre assassination plan that eventually rocks the tranquility of two governments. An unprecedented but predictable public outcry of human rights violations changes Martin's tactics from committing brutal murders to coordinating organ transplant harvesting using illegal aliens as donors. After the NSA and Interpol plot to assassinate Martin with the help of his lover and a vial of deadly Polonium, a senator's young daughter is diagnosed with a rare disease and an organ transplant is her only hope for survival. Through murder, second chances, love, justice, and betrayal, Martin battles an extraordinary turn of events and must decide if all he has sacrificed is worth it in the end.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In mid-1940, the British Expeditionary Force desperately attempted to flee the small French port of Dunkirk and reach British shores. France was falling, and the men were well aware that the German army had already conquered Poland, Denmark, Norway, Holland, and Belgium. Only Britain remained. Churchill then proclaimed to the House of Commons, “Hitler will have to break us in this island or lose the war.” There were, perhaps, no more telling words spoken in World War II. For the following five months, Great Britain waged a heroic, and clandestine, struggle with Nazi Germany—one both psychological and diplomatic—over the fate of the world. World in the Balance recounts these pivotal months. Rallying after Churchill's speeches, destroying the French fleet so it would not fall to the Germans, fending off Nazi agents from former King Edward VIII, weakening England's defenses to build up those of Egypt, establishing a dedication to secret radar, and engaging in deft diplomacy—notably saving Gibraltar by keeping Spain neutral and successfully courting favor in the United States—set all the pieces in place for eventual victory over Axis fascism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Aimed at students taking a course on visual perception, this textbook considers what it means for a man, a monkey and a computer to perceive the world. After an introduction and a discussion of methods, the book deals with how the environment produces a physical effect, how the resulting "image" is processed by the brain or by computer algorithms in order to produce a perception of "something out there". It also discusses color, form, motion, distance, and also the sensing of three dimensionality, before dealing with visual perception and its role in awareness and consciousness. The book concludes with discussions of perceptual development, blindness, and visual disorders. Visual perception is by its very nature an interdisciplinary subject that requires a basic understanding of a range of topics from diverse fields, and this is a very readable guide to all students whether they come from a neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, robotics, or philosophy background.
