The Sequence Algorithms Handbook

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the average case analysis of algorithms on sequences, combining both analytical and probabilistic tools to provide a unified framework for the analysis of algorithms on words. Written in a clear and accessible style, it is suitable for both graduate students and researchers in the field.

The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of words and algorithms on words, covering topics such as string matching algorithms, pattern matching algorithms, compression algorithms, and data structures for words. It then introduces probabilistic models for words, including random words, Markov chains, hidden Markov models, context-free grammars, and Bayesian networks.

The book also introduces analytical models for words, including asymptotic analysis, generating functions, Mellin transforms, the inclusion-exclusion principle, and large deviations. It then introduces the subadditive ergodic theorem and its applications to data compression, pattern matching, computational molecular biology, and security.

The book also covers the inclusion-exclusion principle and its applications, first and second moment methods and their applications, complex asymptotic methods and their applications, analytic Poissonization and depoissonization and their applications, and elements of information theory and their applications.

Finally, the book discusses applications of average case analysis of algorithms on sequences to data compression, pattern matching, computational molecular biology, security, and other areas.

With its comprehensive coverage of the topic, clear and accessible writing style, and wealth of applications, this book is an essential resource for anyone working in the field of average case analysis of algorithms on sequences.

Into the Darkness a Journey into...

Darren Smith

"One of the best new Schizophrenia books" - BookAuthority 
★★★★★ Readers' Favorite Book Review. 
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a schizophrenic?Beautifully written with raw and candid reflections on the harrowing reality of living with severe schizophrenia, Into the Darkness invites you to join author Darren Smith as he reveals the heart-wrenching reality of being unable to tell real life from psychosis. 
In this intimate tell-all memoir, Darren takes readers on an unparalleled journey into his disorder, shining a light on the confusion, delusional thoughts, tormenting voices, and persistent paranoia that defined decades of his life—from his troubled childhood when he experienced his very first delusion to struggling to survive as an adult in a frightening world. 
And as his grip on reality grows increasingly fragile, Darren recounts the self-destructive coping mechanisms that pushed him deeper down the rabbit hole and towards the dreadful nightmare realm of a full-fledged schizophrenic break. 
But amid the darkness of adolescent bullying, a painful parental divorce, and an adulthood filled with unrelenting hallucinations, Darren reveals how he fought a years-long battle and triumphed over insurmountable challenges, unlocking a wellspring of hope that helped him achieve victory over his inner demons and grow into the person he is today. 
As a must-read for fellow sufferers of schizophrenia, as well as for therapists and mental health professionals, Into the Darkness is equal parts shocking and illuminating. This book draws you into not only Darren’s life, but also the lives of the friends and family who stuck with him, giving readers a unique and thought-provoking inside view of this multifaceted condition.

Halcyon Journey - In Search of...

Marina Richie

Winner of the 2024 John Burroughs Medal for Distinguished Natural History Writing 
 
 
 
More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds. They range in size from the African dwarf kingfisher to the laughing kookaburra of Australia. This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. 
 
 
 
The kingfisher—also known as the halcyon bird—is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are difficult to locate. 
 
 
 
While the heart of the drama takes place on Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula, the author's adventures in search of kingfisher kin on the lower Rio Grande, in South Africa, and in London illuminate her relationships with the birds of Montana. In the quiet of winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper, pivotal qualities for her quest. For all who love birds or simply seek solace in nature, Halcyon Journey is an inviting introduction to the mythic and mysterious belted kingfisher.

Brief History of the Universe A...

Dr. Sarah Alam Malik

"A sweeping tour of the laws of physics, the scope of the universe, and the place of life within it." —Sean Carroll, New York Times bestselling author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 
An elegant exploration of humanity’s continuous search to find the hidden truths of the universe and comprehend our place in the cosmos. 
We have always looked up at the night sky and wondered. Ever since the ancient Babylonians began to track celestial objects on clay tablets, scientific inquiry has been driven by the innate human desire to understand what is out there, and where we fit into it all. 
Renowned particle physicist Dr. Sarah Alam Malik, whose research has brought her to the cutting edge of scientific advancement, takes us on a journey through the discoveries that have at once propelled and overturned our perception of the cosmos. From Copernicus launching a helio-centric revolution to Ernest Rutherford uncovering the world inside the atom, to Vera Rubin confirming the existence of dark matter, each generation has built upon, and then upended, the knowledge of those who came before. 
Even today, as ninety-five percent of the universe remains unknown to us, we cannot help but chase the fundamental truths of our world, as we witness the fiery deaths of faraway suns, probe the nature of dark energy and search for extraterrestrial life in the most unexpected places. 
Beautifully written and accessible, A Brief History of the Universe (And Our Place in It) is a celebration of our story so far, one of discovery and an endless curiosity that has taken us far beyond the boundaries of the world we know.
