Sherlock Holmes: The American Years

A compelling volume of original tales concerning Sherlock Holmes' legendary time in America With an introduction by Leslie S. Klinger, editor and compiler of all three volumes of the Annotated Sherlock Holmes, this collection of ten original stories brings light to one of the least examined periods in the life of the great detective—his time in the former colonies, the United States. This Holmes is a youthful one—a young man not yet set upon his course in life and in his famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street. In Richard Lupoff 's "Inga Sigerson Weds," he's come to America to represent the family at his sister's wedding. In "My Silk Umbrella," Mark Twain narrates his fateful encounter with Holmes at a baseball game in Hartford, Connecticut; Steve Hockensmith narrates the meeting of the young William Gillette and the object of his later, most famous turn upon the stage; and Peter Tremayne reveals the intersection of Holmes and the Irish in the 19th century American midwestern landscape. With further stories by Marta Randall, Rhys Bowen, Peter Beagle, and others, the legend, the mythology and even the history of the world's greatest detective is further enhanced by these charming, clever and mystifying tales.

a greatdeal to do withBonferroni correction. The proofrequired for Bonferroni
correction relies on Boole's inequality (which Bonferroni extended, but this
extension wasn't needed for Bonferroni correction). It was actually first applied by

Modelling Early Christianity

Social-Scientific Studies of the New Testament in its Context

Modelling Early Christianity explores the intriguing foreign social context of first century Palestine and the Greco-Roman East, in which the Christian faith was first proclaimed and the New Testament documents were written. It demonstrates that a sophisticated analysis of the context is essential in order to understand the original meaning of the texts. The contributors examine social themes such as early Christian group formation, the centrality of kinship and honour and the economic setting. They offer a wealth of novel and socially realistic interpretations which make sense of the texts. At the same time, Modelling Early Christianity contains significant new ideas on the relationship between social-scientific and literary-critical analysis, the theoretical justification for model-use and the way these new approaches can fertilise contemporary Christian theology.

INTRODUCTION This essay is a continuation of my interests in warfare in the
Bronze Age and Iron Age and the literature related to it (Hobbs 1989a; Hobbs
and Jackson 1991). In this present form it is more an invitation to discourse than a
finished product, and will form the basis of further research. In my book on
warfare in ancient Israel (1989a) I wrote much in the concluding chapter about

Advanced System Modelling and Simulation with Block Diagram Languages

Advanced System Modelling and Simulation with Block Diagram Languages explores and describes the use of block languages in dynamic modelling and simulation. The application of block diagrams to dynamic modelling is reviewed, not only in terms of known components and systems, but also in terms of the development of new systems. Methods by which block diagrams clarify the dynamic essence of systems and their components are emphasized throughout the book, and sufficient introductory material is included to elucidate the book's advanced material. Widely used continuous dynamic system simulation (CDSS) languages are analyzed, and their technical features are discussed. This self-contained resource includes a review section on block diagram algebra and applied transfer functions, both of which are important mathematical subjects, relevant to the understanding of continuous dynamic system simulation.

3.9 VisSim General Description VisSim is an advanced, easy to use, object-
oriented general purpose simulation language, originally designed for use with
MS Windows. As we pointed out before (Karayanakis, 1993), a tactical advantage
of VisSim (and other similar languages) emerges from its creation as a PC-based
product rather than as a conversion from mainframe software. In this context,
VisSim is a cutting-edge, powerful block diagram language with an outstanding

The Better Man

A Novel

A magical, inventive novel about one man's struggle to find his place in the small Indian village of his birth In Anita Nair's warm and imaginative first novel, middle-aged Acuthan Nair returns home to restore his childhood house and to confront old ghosts. When he begins the project, he hires the town painter, One-Screw-Loose Bhasi, to oversee the renovation, and the two men quickly develop a close friendship. Bhasi, who has a special talent for healing the wounded, helps Acuthan come to terms with his mother's violent death and teaches him how to stand up to his overbearing, manipulative father. But when members of the town elite tempt Acuthan with a chance at gaining the status he's always craved, his loyalty to Bhasi is tested. The Better Man is a playful and moving account of the redemptive power of friendship.

When her plait lay unwound, skeins of silk washed by the dew, dried by the moon
, he gathered a handful of it. And with reverence, with a thumping heart, he buried
his face in it and breathed deep of its fragrance. Always plaited, always
restrained, brushing her thighs this way and that, her hair alone, he thought, had
inflamed his numbed senses. Awakening his catatonic soul with a sweep of
desire. To love. To live. To hold her in his arms. She turned, still asleep, to lie on
her back.
