In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. Howe's panoramic narrative portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. Now, in What Hath God Wrought, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent.

The result is, of course, that when I talk about really important 20th Century SF writers - which is kinda my thing? - I never mention Heinlein. And that 830-page beast was just a bridge too far for a traumatized veteran of the first 100 pages of Friday. But the seminal Heinlein collection, the one containing virtually all of his really important short work - including classics like “The Roads Must Roll,” “Blowups Happen,” “The Man Who Sold the Moon,” “Gentlemen, Be Seated,” “The Green Hills of Earth,” “Logic of Empire,” “The Menace from Earth,” “If This Goes On -”, and the short novel Methuselah’s Children - was the massive The Past Through Tomorrow. The problem was that by the mid-70s Heinlein was a star, the top-selling author in the field, and his entire short fiction catalog was locked up in his own bestselling collections. Sometimes editors would apologize for omitting him, admitting (with some frustration) that they just couldn’t get the rights to the Heinlein tales they wanted. It didn’t help that I made most of my discoveries through short fiction in those days, and Heinlein almost never showed up in anthologies. I enjoyed Starship Troopers well enough, but the next two novels I tried - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and especially Friday - I bounced off pretty hard. The Past Through Tomorrow (Berkley Medallion, January 1975). Inevitably Joan is soon pulled back into a world she thought she'd left behind and back to Arslan. But as the years pass, Joan comes to understand that ballet isn't finished with her yet: for there is no mistaking that Harry is a prodigy. She quits ballet, marries a good man, and settles into the rhythm of Californian life with their son, Harry. A flash of fame and a passionate love affair follow, but Joan knows that, onstage and off, she is destined to remain in the shadows.Īfter her relationship with Arslan sours, Joan decides to make a new life for herself. From the prize-winning author of Seating Arrangements comes an exquisitely written, fiercely compelling glimpse into the demanding world of professional ballet and its magnetic hold over two generations.Īstonish Me is the irresistible story of Joan, a young American dancer who helps a Soviet ballet star, the great Arslan Rusakov, defect in 1975. Finally, the book offers research perspectives, covering such theoretical topics as linear factor models, autoencoders, representation learning, structured probabilistic models, Monte Carlo methods, the partition function, approximate inference, and deep generative models. It describes deep learning techniques used by practitioners in industry, including deep feedforward networks, regularization, optimization algorithms, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, and practical methodology and it surveys such applications as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and videogames. The text offers mathematical and conceptual background, covering relevant concepts in linear algebra, probability theory and information theory, numerical computation, and machine learning. This book introduces a broad range of topics in deep learning. The hierarchy of concepts allows the computer to learn complicated concepts by building them out of simpler ones a graph of these hierarchies would be many layers deep. Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. Abstract: Deep learning is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. But as tensions continue to rise between the witches and the fae, Syn and Ryder have much to overcome in order to find their way together. As doubts continue to overtake her, Ryder is there to seduce her and give her affection and security like she has never felt before. As Ryder and Synthia begin to bond, everything that Syn has ever been led to believe is put into question. Synthia, a witch in the guild, is given an extraordinary assignment in which she is teamed up with one of her enemies Ryder (who happens to be the Dark Prince of the Fae). In a world where witches and faes exist, the balance between life and death is in a constant battle.

Scientists in the 1960s discover that the neutrino emissions from the Sun – a result of the nuclear reactions that fuel the star – are far diminished from expected levels. In a series of descriptive passages, the events leading up to the race to save the human species are explained. Their peaceful existence comes to an end with the arrival of the Magellan, an interstellar spaceship from Earth containing one million colonists who have been put into cryonic suspension. They are typical examples of the Thalassan culture quiet, stable, and free from religion and supernatural influence. The story begins with an introduction to the native Thalassans – the marine biologist Brant, his partner Mirissa and her brother Kumar. Thalassa has a small human population sent there by way of an embryonic seed pod, one of many sent out from Earth in an attempt to continue the human race before the Earth was destroyed. The novel is set in the early 3800s and takes place almost entirely on the faraway oceanic planet of Thalassa. |
