Competitive Markov Decision Processes by Jerzy A. Filar, ISBN 0387948058
This book is devoted to a unified treatment of Competitive Markov Decision Processes. It examines these processes from the standpoints of modeling and of optimization, providing newcomers to the field with an accessible account of algorithms, theory, and applications, while also supplying specialists with a comprehensive survey of recent developments. The treatment is self-contained, requiring only some knowledge of linear algebra and real analysis. Topics covered include: Mathematical programming: Markov decision processes (the non-competitive case), and stochastic games via mathematical programming.- Existence, structure and applications: Summable stochastic games, average-reward stochastic games and applications and special classes of stochastic games.- Appendices on: matrix games, bimatrix games and nonlinear programming; a theorem of Hardy and Littlewood; Markov chains; and complex varieties and the limit discount equation.

Downloaded: The Third Collection of the 5th Wave by Rich Tennant, ISBN 0740706152
Rich Tennant is clearly the "father of the computer cartoon." (Forbes ASAP). When the creator introduced his technology-oriented cartoon panel in the early 80s, computers hadn't yet achieved the status they enjoy today. Now that nearly everyone's got them, The 5th Wave has become a mirror of our dubious attempts to live with, and control them.In Downloaded, Tennant is right on target, and even now more people will be able to relate to the way computers are changing the way we work, live, and play. He features a teacher who sends her students on-line to research Native American culture and discount fares to Hawaii; the optometrist whose Web site's intense graphics cause eye strain; and Santa downloading presents into a slow 14.4K chimney. His clever cartoons give everyone tethered to a computer a delightfully skewed way to view the world.

The Wrong One by Carol Otis Hurst, ISBN 0618275991
Times were tough for the Spencer family. After their father died, Kate, Jesse, and their adopted sister, Sookan, had to move with their mother from Brooklyn to a dilapidated farmhouse in western Massachusetts. Everyone except Sookan hated it; she hadn"t lived in Brooklyn long enough to miss the house there, but the rest of them hoped the move would be only temporary. But Mrs. Spencer"s business is slow to get off the ground, and the repairs to the house are expensive, so finances are tight. Suddenly they"re facing the possibility of losing their rundown farmhouse, too.Then Jesse discovers an old doll hidden up in the barn rafters. Despite Sookan"s cryptic protests that it"s the wrong one, they all hope its sale could bring in some much-needed cash. But when an eerie blue light appears, odd things begin to happen--things it touches become cold, TVs turn themselves on, objects show up in unusual places--even homework problems are solved! Could the blue light be a ghost? What other secrets...
