Elliott Harmison has had a tough year.

He has suffered personal tragedy. Other people get on his nerves. And the world in general just does not seem to be in a good place right now. Someone should really do something.

Fate hands Elliott an opportunity to make a small difference in a big way. But can he complete his project before he is discovered...?

Mathematical models are very much in the news now, as they are used to make decisions about our response to such vital areas as COVID-19 and climate change. Frequently, they are blamed for a series of dubious decisions, creating much concern amongst the general public. However, without mathematical models, we would have none of the modern technology that we take for granted, nor would we have modern health care, be able to forecast the climate, cook a potato, have electricity to power our home, or go into space.By explaining technical mathematical concepts in a way that everyone can...

"Prediction is very difficult - especially about the future". Is the future already mapped out, a path that we are following? Or is the future unwritten, made up of endless possibilities? When a stranger knocks at her door in the middle of the night, Hannah Siggers is given the opportunity to find out. While Hannah was not looking to be the person to save humanity from extinction, Torben Christiansen was trying to change the world. He just didn't know how. As a result, when he switches on his invention for the first time, he inadvertently creates a link with another machine a long, long way...

The Eternal Business explains how through the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model, business founders can better preserve their achievements by selling their companies to their employees.

Mack loses control as the situation develops, costing him his marriage and forcing him to retreat from the world that once acknowledged his talent. Fourteen years on, Mack's son Johnny is determined to help his father by uncovering the truth,...

This book presents a coherent framework for understanding the dynamics of piecewise-smooth and hybrid systems. An informal introduction expounds the ubiquity of such models via numerous. The results are presented in an informal style, and illustrated with many examples. The book is aimed at a wide audience of applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists at the beginning postgraduate level. Almost no mathematical background is assumed other than basic calculus and algebra.
