Geneticist Jianna Makinde has uncovered Aurelius Hofstadters true purpose: total control of DaVinci. Her father, Councilor Soren Makinde, is behaving erratically, and Jianna is sure that Aurelius has done something to him, but she cant prove anything. Worse, Jiannas best hope at fighting Aurelius has evaporated. Lucas, the first human-passing android that Aurelius ever created, seems to have absconded with thirteen Descendants, including the best friend of Jiannas lover, Engineer Michelangelo Lombardi. Jianna fears that Michelangelos life is in danger, too, because hes discovered Aurelius biggest secret. And the cherry on top? The Divine Blueprint, a genetic sequence that Jianna had hoped held the secret to curing the off-target effects that plague everyone on the planet (including her), has turned out to be nonviable when combined with the gene therapy that theyve all been using to coexist with the pervasive fungal Bloom that almost killed Jiannas ancestors. Aurelius offers another kind of cure, but it comes with terrifying strings attached.Constantly watched by Aurelius and his cyborg crew, Jianna sees the entire city fall under Aurelius sway. Her closest ally is her former nemesis, Guide Willow Evans, a religious fundamentalist who hates genetic engineering but hates Aurelius more. If Jianna could find Lucas, they might stand a chance, but can she trust the android that Aurelius created and might still control? As Jianna frantically studies the forbidden technologies in hopes of breaking Aurelius hold over the city, the impossible question looms: can she free her father and the rest of the city from Aureliuss control before its too late to take their world back?For fans of The Martian, Seveneves, and Raised by Wolves, Genesis Undone is the explosive finale of the Echoes of Tomorrow series.

Stop Building Ghost Towns. Start Building Cash Machines.Nobody cares about your "great idea." Not your friends, not your investors, and certainly not the market. Most founders spend months coding and thousands on branding for a product that nobody actually wants to buy. They build the solution before they confirm the problem, and they lose everything in the process.The Validation Matrix is your antidote to that failure. This isnt about drafting 40-page business plans or "following your passion." Its about Speed to Truth. Using the aggressive "Smoke Test" and the "48-Hour Rule," this book teaches you how to be a detective and a sniper. You will learn to kill bad ideas in 48 hours for $50, instead of wasting 12 months and $50,000.If youre looking for a pat on the back, put this book down. If youre looking for the binary truth of whether people will pull out their credit cards for your offer, welcome to the Matrix. Stop hallucinating. Start selling.

A Theory on Optimal Factorial Designs presents a rigorous and unified treatment of factorial design theory, centered on the general minimum lower-order confounding (GMC) criterion.It develops the theoretical foundations of the GMC criterion and demonstrates its wide-ranging applications to two-level, blocked, split-plot, compromise, robust parameter, and s-level designs, as well as to orthogonal arrays.Experimental design and analysis is a cornerstone of mathematical statistics, with extensive applications in agriculture, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Among established methodologies, factorial designs remain one of the most powerful and efficient tools for investigating systems involving multiple factors.The GMC criterion provides a principled framework for selecting optimal factorial designs by rigorously quantifying and minimizing confounding among factor effects. This work delivers both theoretical insights and practical methodological guidance, making it a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in statistics and allied disciplines.

An Introduction to Complex Analysis is a textbook focusing on the fundamental theories and methods of complex analysis. Guided by the core logic of from basic construction to in-depth application, it systematically presents the key concepts and structure of the discipline. The book helps readers shift their perspective from the real number field to the complex number field, master the essential ideas and tools for studying complex functions, and build a solid foundation for further study in advanced complex analysis and related interdisciplinary fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematical physics.Divided into seven chapters, the book features a clear and coherent content framework. It strikes a balance between theoretical rigor and practical learning: each key concept is introduced with precise definitions and intuitive explanations; important theorems are accompanied by detailed proofs; and targeted exercises at the end of each chapter help reinforce understanding.While maintaining academic depth, the text remains accessible to beginners by avoiding excessive technical complexity. This book is ideal as an introductory textbook for junior undergraduate students majoring in mathematics. It also serves as a valuable reference for students in physics, electronics, and engineering, as well as for researchers in related fields interested in the core theories and practical applications of complex analysis.

Rosa can hear the dead. That gift has already pulled her into impossible places and deadly danger.Now, on the Autumnal Equinox, Rosa and her cousin Jerome are summoned again. Their mission: travel to Iceland, the Land of Fire and Ice, and retrieve the second Golden Red Feather of the Phoenix. Because only when all five Feathers are united can Atlantis rise from the ocean depths and its lost people finally return home.But Iceland isnt empty.Ancient guardians still roam beneath the Norse Star and something far worse has arrived first. A shapeshifting Horseman rides the frozen wilderness, hunting the Feather, and willing to kill for it.With earthquakes shaking the land, wicked laughter in the wind, and a mysterious Ancient One waiting in the ice, Rosa and Jerome must survive the most dangerous quest yet before time runs out. "Spellbinding, chilling, and dazzling, Rosas icy quest for Phoenix feathers enthralls completely. Highly recommended," The International Review of Books.
