Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Mystery Mindy McGinnis, the acclaimed author of Not a Drop to Drink and In a Handful of Dust, combines murder, madness, and mystery in a beautifully twisted gothic historical thriller perfect for fans of novels such as Asylum and The Diviners as well as television's True Detective and American Horror Story.

Continuing to operate under the cloak of madness at crime scenes allows her to gather clues from bystanders who believe her less than human. Now comfortable in an ethical asylum, Grace finds friends--and hope. But gruesome nights bring Grace and the doctor into the circle of a killer who will bring her shaky sanity and the...

Angus Davitt, a cop in a New Jersey shore town circa 1990, is set up by fellow cops and suffers a perplexing fall from grace. WHY? The reader is left to wonder also, then taken on a deep dive into the lives of 4 friends as they grow into adulthood in the 1960's and 70's. The first person narrative is a virtual time capsule of growing up in middle class, post WWII patriotic America and is rich in cultural detail. Their personal experiences of the Newark inner city riots of 1967 and the Vietnam War force them to question everything they had been taught about patriotism and religious and moral faith as they go their separate ways. They are drawn back together in the "Convergence" by a chance meeting. The mystery of the first part of the book leads to a fast paced romp into the exotic world of offshore powerboat racing and the drug fueled culture of 1990 in the Florida Keys. Here, Angus and the reader find out "who done it and why." The Narrator lived it, in on...

Paolo Mancosu provides an original investigation of historical and systematic aspects of the notions of abstraction and infinity and their interaction. A familiar way of introducing concepts in mathematics rests on so-called definitions by abstraction. An example of this is Hume's Principle, which introduces the concept of number by stating that two concepts have the same number if and only if the objects falling under each one of them can be put in one-one correspondence. This principle is at the core of neo-logicism. In the first two chapters of the book, Mancosu provides a historical analysis of the mathematical uses and foundational discussion of definitions by abstraction up to Frege, Peano, and Russell. Chapter one shows that abstraction principles were quite widespread in the mathematical practice that preceded Frege's discussion of them and the second chapter provides the first contextual analysis of Frege's discussion of abstraction principles in section 64 of t...

The story of misunderstood immigrants and their struggle to gain recognition and acceptance in the rural South Despite its reputation as a melting pot of ethnicities and races, the United States has a well-documented history of immigrants who have struggled through isolation, segregation, discrimination, oppression, and assimilation. South Carolina is home to one such group- known historically and derisively as "the Turks"-which can trace its oral history back to Joseph Benenhaley, an Ottoman refugee from Old World conflict. According to its traditional narrative, Benenhaley served with Gen. Thomas Sumter in the Revolutionary War. His dark-hued descendants lived insular lives in rural Sumter County for the next two centuries, and only in recent decades have they enjoyed the full blessings of the American experience. Early scholars ignored the Turkish tale and labeled these people "tri-racial isolates" and later writers disparaged them as "so-called Turks."...
