Book Description

Life. Love. Friendship. Death. In James Michael Rice's new book, Rebel Angels, six teenagers are forever changed after crossing paths with a serial killer, thus unraveling the grim truth behind a town legend.

For more than a decade, "The Hacker" murders have haunted the residents of the small New England town called Hevven. Many residents quietly believe that the police apprehended the wrong man. But the suspect, a drifter who maintained his innocence until the bitter end, took his own life before the truth could be told. Some believe the real killer is still out there, preying on young women, though not so much as a shred of evidence has ever been found—until now.

Mike Swart, 18, is a natural born leader: strong, handsome, charismatic and the former star quarterback for his high school football team. One night, Mike is out joyriding with his friends when a chance encounter with a local cop causes the boys to seek refuge in an abandoned house. Inside they discover the mutilated body of The Hacker's latest victim, and suddenly Mike Swart and his friends are thrust into a world they never knew existed - one of darkness, corruption, and deceit.

Now, wanted by the police for a murder they did not commit and stalked by a madman they cannot escape, Mike Swart and his friends make a desperate decision that will alter their lives forever.

They decide to flee.

At a remote cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire, six teenagers make a stand against an evil from which they cannot escape. But, can they survive long enough to prove their innocence?

A novel that offers suspenseful action and intense drama, Rice's Rebel Angels is an exciting thriller that keeps the reader glued to its pages well into the wee hours of the morning.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Story.......2004-12-01

This story was great. It kept me on the edge of the bed and I could not put it down. Suspenseful, thoughtful, emotional, riveting, and exciting. Truly a great piece of writing. Looking forward to his next piece of work.

5 out of 5 stars Author Michael Laimo's Review of Rebel Angels:.......2004-08-19

"James Michael Rice's independently released
debut, Rebel Angels, shows a great deal of promise. The
prose flows smoothly, and his ability to tell a tale is
clearly evident, from the horrific onset, to the
riveting slice of life examination of the story's
characters. James Michael Rice is a writer to
watch."

Michael Laimo, author of Deep In The Darkness,
and The Demonologist.

5 out of 5 stars Prepare to be blown away!!.......2004-07-30

Wow! I just finished this book, and I can't stop thinking about it! Rice has a way of sucking the reader in from page one and never letting go. And the characters were so believable and realistic I felt like they were my own friends, and I was right there with them.

This was a fun read, already one of my faves. It had the perfect combination of horror, suspense, and drama. Readers will not be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars Great Story for a first novel.......2004-02-04

This is James Michael Rice's first novel and it is a winner! The story describes the adventures of a young group of high schoolers, as they stubble onto a crime scene that has remained unsolved for a long, long time. Very refreshing style of writing. I couldn't put it down. Buy this now because once Oprah gets wind of this, everyone will want to read it.

Book Description

The book introduces and develops the basic actuarial models and underlying pricing of life-contingent pension annuities and life insurance from a unique financial perspective. The ideas and techniques are then applied to the real-world problem of generating sustainable retirement income towards the end of the human life-cycle. The role of lifetime income, longevity insurance, and systematic withdrawal plans are investigated in a parsimonious framework. The underlying technology and terminology of the book are based on continuous-time financial economics by merging analytic laws of mortality with the dynamics of equity markets and interest rates. Nonetheless, the book requires a minimal background in mathematics and emphasizes applications and examples more than proofs and theorems. It can serve as an ideal textbook for an applied course on wealth management and retirement planning in addition to being a reference for quantitatively-inclined financial planners.

4 out of 5 stars living and dying is so complicated to model!.......2006-06-06

To many people, the book's topic is an inherently dreary and offputting one. How to estimate retirement income for a group of people, who typically are still in the workplace?

To do so, the book invokes such common ideas as numerical simulations. Here, of a general diffusion process, specialising to Brownian motion. Who could have imagined, decades ago, when such ideas were introduced in physics, that they would one day have use to actuaries and the like? A neat side note is that one of the book's problems involves using Excel's ability to simulate Brownian processes.

A key chapter compares defined benefit and defined contribution pensions. From the vantage of the pension provider. Who needs to understand as accurately as possible the ultimate costs of both, in order to determine what to offer employees.

3 out of 5 stars Where is the additional material?.......2006-05-08

I purchased this book over a month ago. I expected to receive additional supporting materials which would greatly aid my understanding of the various formulas used throughout the book. The additional supporting material has yet to be posted. As such, currently, i feel i have been overpromised and underdelivered.

        Book Description

        This is the Proceedings of the 3rd IRBC which has the tradition of publishing the Proceedings of each conference. The timing is adequate for introducing the recent advances in the rice blast research. This time the resistance mechanism of rice against blast was the main topic, covering 23 of the 36 titles. It reflects the environment that the rice-blast interaction is becoming a model system to analyze the process of plant resistance against pathogens.
        Especially, many leading trials are introduced which are beginning to succeed to control the disease, and it can be a model case for interaction between the applied and basic sciences.

              Book Description

              For quite some time textbooks have steered the teaching of genetics down a fairly narrow path - transmissions genetics first, followed by molecular genetics. In Genetics: The Continuity of Life, Fairbanks and Andersen modernize the study of genetics for students. With a clear, robust style, the authors approach genetics at its most fundamental molecular level, building on students' previous exposure from other courses. Once the molecular concepts are in place, transmission genetics is more easily understood. The result is a textbook that reflects the way geneticists think about solving genetics problems in a completely integrative manner. Students relate to the organization and are able to grasp the larger concepts and their applications.

                  Book Description

                  Before the mid-eleventh century the pope was far from being the active leader of the Roman Catholic Church that he is today: he restricted himself to the local concerns of the diocese of Rome and was virtually ignored by the outside world. This book is a study of the transformation of the role of the pope in the twelfth century, from which he emerged as monarch of the universal Church, dedicated to reform and to making the Church independent of secular control. The most important role in the new model government was given to the cardinals, who hence forward were the principal advisers, agents and electors of the popes. These developments were accelerated by schism and political conflict: on three occasions the lawful pope was driven into exile by an antipope supported by a powerful secular ruler. Professor Robinson's text emphasizes the growing importance of the College of Cardinals and the practical aspects of papal government. It offers the most detailed analytical study yet available of this key period in the history of the western Church.

                      Book Description

                      Symmetry has always played an important role in mechanics, from fundamental formulations of basic principles to concrete applications. The theme of the book is to develop the basic theory and applications of mechanics with an emphasis on the role of symmetry. In recent times, the interest in mechanics, and in symmetry techniques in particular, has accelerated because of developments in dynamical systems, the use of geometric methods and new applications to integrable and chaotic systems, control systems, stability and bifurcation, and the study of specific rigid, fluid, plasma and elastic systems. Introduction to Mechanics and Symmetry lays the basic foundation for these topics and includes numerous specific applications, making it beneficial to physicists and engineers. This text has specific examples and applications showing how the theory works, and up-to-date techniques, all of which makes it accessible to a wide variety of readers, expecially senior undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering. For this second edition, the text has been rewritten and updated for clarity throughout, with a major revamping and expansion of the exercises. Internet supplements containing additional material are also available on-line.

                      5 out of 5 stars Style and Grace.......2006-04-27

                      As mathematically sophisticated as Arnold but, unlike Arnold, Marsden has the good grace to properly define fundamentals such as the various spaces and transformations used. The introductory exposition of similarities and differences of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics is most helpful and refreshing.

                      1 out of 5 stars certainly not for self-study.......2005-04-14

                      This review is for Engineers. The back cover of the book says that it is accessible to advanced undergrads... to engineers etc. I am doing PhD in engineering and I have taken many classes in Math (including differential geometry, topology, analysis, PDEs, abstract algebra) and Mechanics. With great difficulty
                      I read this book (about 50% of the book). It is not well-organized.

                      The theory is not carefully developed. For example, the first
                      chapter is one of the difficult chapters to understand all the
                      things as it tries to give the summary of the book. The Chapter
                      9 (on Lie groups) says that the definition on Lie Algebra is
                      in the Introduction (it is not clear whether it is in the Introduction of the chapter or in the Introduction of the
                      book). After seeing in the index, one can find that it is in the Introduction of the text. If a person is encountering this
                      kind of stuff for the first time, how will he remember what is given in the Chapter 1 (given the fact that Chapter 1 is the
                      one of the difficult chapters to read in this book). Do n't you think it is logical to give this important definition in Chapter 9 as the previous chapters does not require this definition.

                      The book may be suited for a class as the professor will guide
                      the students. But for self-study, I do not recommend this book.
                      Instead I recommend the book by Arnold. Though the book by
                      Arnold is not as sophisticated as Marsden, it gives nice
                      picture for an engineer.

                      4 out of 5 stars whatch the index.......2000-06-09

                      I truely liked the book, but in the edition I have got, the whole index is messed up, i.e. you find the keyword a few pages below the page given in the index. Probably this blunder will not be repeated in coming up editions...I hope so, because the book is worth being used.
