Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the duel in the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and McLaurys. Set against the backdrop of an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel Prize-winning author. A monologue by the naive, unreliable, and uneducated Wendell L. Espana, the book weaves together hundreds of characters and a torrent of inter-connected anecdotes, some true, some fabricated. Wendell’s story

Banned for many years by the Franco regime, Cela’s masterpiece presents a panoramic view of the degredation and suffering of the lower-middle class in post-Civil War Spain.

Filled with violence, hunger, and compassion, The Hive captures the ambitions and constraints of life under a dictatorship.

The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a classical combinatorial optimization problem with numerous applications in facility location, scheduling, manufacturing, VLSI design, statistical data analysis, etc. The QAP is an extremely hard problem from both theoretical and practical points of view: 1) The QAP is NP-hard to solve to optimality and to approximate within a constant approximation ratio, and 2) QAP instances of size larger than 22 are still considered intractable. Hence, the QAP is in effect a problem that has yet to be solved. This volume presents a general overview of th
