Ratman's Notebooks

In most ways, Robert is a typical sixteen year old boy growing up in the small village medieval village of Masden. He attends school, goes fishing with friends, and increasingly, has been learning his father's trade as stable master. As the story begins though, he's frustrated because his father seems to demand so much more from him than his friends' fathers want from their sons. He studies longer and reads more than anyone else. Strangest of all, his father has been teaching him to read, write, and speak in the old tongue, the forbidden language spoken by the nobility.Late one night, his life is turned upside down. He's awakened by loud pounding on the door and is stunned when he pokes his head over the railing of the loft, to see armed soldiers in chain mail pouring into the living room. Suddenly, his father leaps out with his own sword, turning the house into a battle zone. After his father is killed, Robert and his mother flee for their lives. Later, she takes out an old wooden box, opens it, and hands him a heavy ruby ring. "This belonged to your father. Now, I suppose it's yours."Mixing magic, swordplay, and adventure, The Ruby Ring - Casting The Die is the first in a series that follows Robert's search for his true identity.

But what Marcus doesn't know is that Mr. Burnaby wants his help in a series of strange experiments whose ultimate goal is to discover what happens to the soul after death. What begins as harmless fun as Mr. Burnaby teaches Marcus how to project his spirit out from his body quickly becomes more sinister, and may lead to a horrible fate even more terrifying than death. . . .

Mitchell Waite Signature Series: Object-Oriented Design in Java takes a tutorial approach and teaches in a new way: by offering the Java code first and the design representations and explanations later. No other programming-level book on the market deals with design of Java software. There's nothing aimed at the in the trenches Java programmer. Nor can the Java programmer turn to general books on software design. These, with few exceptions, are abstract and academic, either incomprehensible or irrelevant from the perspective of the working programmer. This book targets the needs of Java application programmers, using an experience-based, hands-on approach.
