Описание:
Jonah Barnes didn't think he'd end up on the Moon with no job and his brother's ashes in his hand luggage. Chang'e lunar base couldn't care less about its newest arrival and that suits Jonah fine. All he wants is to escape his dark past and start a new life mining Helium, until a chance meeting in a bar sweeps him into the raging undercurrent of the Moon's racial tensions and politics.
Now, Jonah is on the run and wanted for murder. With his new friend Lucien, he must grope his way through the pitch-black tunnels of abandoned mines to reach the oppressed Moon Folk's secret colony. When he gets there, Jonah must fight to overcome his past if he is to have any chance of saving his new friends from a madman who will stop at nothing to enslave the people of the Moon and seize control of the incredible wealth that comes from supplying the world with energy.

Описание: With its three-hour-long contests, 162-game seasons, and countless measurable variables, baseball is a sport which lends itself to self-reflection and obsessive analysis. It's a thinking game. It's also a shifting game. Nowhere is this more evident than in the statistical revolution which has swept through the pastime in recent years, bringing metrics like WAR, OPS, and BABIP into front offices and living rooms alike. So what's on the horizon for a game that is constantly evolving? Positioned at the crossroads of sabermetrics and cognitive science, The Shift: Unseen Science, Gory Math, and Baseball Questions You Didn't Know to Ask alters the trajectory of both traditional and analytics-based baseball thinking. With a background in clinical psychology as well as experience in major league front offices, Baseball Prospectus' Russell Carleton illuminates advanced statistics and challenges cultural assumptions, demonstrating along the way that data and logic need not be at odds with the human element of baseball--in fact, they're inextricably intertwined. Covering topics ranging from infield shifts to paradigm shifts, Carleton writes with verve, honesty, and an engaging style, inviting all those who love the game to examine it deeply and maybe a little differently. Data becomes digestible; intangibles are rendered not only accessible, but quantifiable. Casual fans and statheads alike will not want to miss this compelling meditation on what makes baseball tick.
