Editors Douglas, Francis, Henriques, and Hill present students, academics, and mathematicians with a collection of papers that together provide an investigation of the history, aspects, and construction of topological modular forms. The sixteen selections that make up the bulk of the text are organized in two parts. Part one covers a variety of topics, including elliptic genera and elliptic cohomology, elliptic curves and modular forms, the moduli stack of elliptic curves, the Landweber exact functor theorem, sheaves in homotopy theory, the string orientation, Goerss-Hopkins obstruction theory, and others. Part two is comprised of three theoretical essays, pointing toward the future of this field of study. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

In 1938, just after publication of his all-time bestseller Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill reveals that he broke the Devil’s Code, forcing him to confess his secrets. The resulting manuscript—Outwitting the Devil—proved so controversial, it was hidden for more than seventy years. Now Sharon Lechter brings us this important audiobook, annotating and editing it for a contemporary audience. Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Hill digs deep to identify the greatest obstacles we face in reaching our personal goals—including fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy—as tools orchestrated by the Devil himself. These hidden methods of control can lead us to ruin, and Hill reveals the seven principles of good that will allow us to finally triumph over them and succeed. Fascinating, provocative, and empowering, Outwitting the Devil shows how to create your own path to success, harmony, and fulfillment in an age of uncertainty and fear.

“My simple faith is this: If we are created in God’s image, then we were born to create, and to create is to prosper. [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript…. I’ve read it and recommend it.” —Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes magazine

Is evolution fact or fancy? Is natural selection an unsupported hypothesis or a confirmed mechanism of evolutionary change? These were the courageous questions that professor of law Phillip Johnson originally took up in 1991. His relentless pursuit to follow the evidence wherever it leads remains as relevant today as then. The facts and the logic of the arguments that purport to establish a theory of evolution based on Darwinian principles, says Johnson, continue to draw their strength from faith--faith in philosophical naturalism. In this edition Johnson responds to critics of the first edition and maintains that scientists have put the cart before the horse, regarding as scientific fact what really should be regarded as a yet unproved hypothesis. Also included is a new, extended introduction by noted biologist Michael Behe, who chronicles the ongoing relevance of Johnson's cogent analysis. - Publisher.
