A whole lot of strawberries.Twelve-year-old Alex Neelio has never met a challenge he couldn't turn into an adventure-or at least try.When the annual Marysville Strawberry Festival announces its first-ever Strawberry Festival Showdown, Alex sees the opportunity of a lifetime. Teams of three must combine basketball skills with choreographed dance, and the grand prize could keep the Marysville Community Center open for another year.There's just one problem.Alex and his best friends, Chloe and Teo, have plenty of enthusiasm-but almost no basketball skills.With the reluctant Coach Hoops trying to turn them into a real team, the newly formed Berry Brawlers face chaotic practices, slippery obstacles, outrageous strawberry-themed mishaps, and a suspicious festival organizer who seems determined to keep them from succeeding.But Alex soon discovers that being bold isn't always about taking the biggest leap. Sometimes it means trusting your friends, sticking to the plan, and realizing you don't have to do everything yourself.Funny, fast-paced, and packed with friendship, teamwork, competition, and berry-filled chaos, Strawberry Slam: Alex's Berry Bold Move is an adventure about learning when to take a chance-and when to trust the people beside you. …

To expose the Ministry's lies, he must find the Master Key: the unedited, raw record of the city's history.

Now, he must tear down the most dangerous architecture of all: the curated lie of a perfect world.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Frank Miller's body is a tally of every punch taken, a living map of a service he'd rather forget. An unlicensed PI with a rumpled trench coat and an antiquated revolver, Frank isn't looking for trouble--but in a decaying Seattle, trouble has a way of finding the men who refuse to look away. When David Jenkins, a brilliant digital architect and activist, is brutally broken and murdered by corporate mercenaries, Frank is the only one left to demand a reckoning. Jenkins was a 'sliver of defiance' in a world succumbing to structural fatigue and corporate authoritarianism, and his death is a spark that Frank can't allow to be extinguished. To find justice, Frank must descend into the city's darkest corners, from the shadow of 'The Serpent's Coil' to abandoned warehouses in SoDo. Up against a corporate-led paramilitary conspiracy with infinite resources, a cynical ex-soldier with broken ribs and a service scar shouldn't stand a chance. But Frank Miller knows the price of redemption--and he's finally ready to pay it. Will one man's defiance be enough to dismantle an empire, or will Seattle's corruption bury him along with the truth?

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The world is turning to stone, and the silence is deafening.In the fractured land of Yamato, the earth is dying.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Stop "Muddling Through" and Start Mastering the Most Complex Discipline in ICT Design. Division 28 is the "Wild West" of the engineering and consulting world. While there is no shortage of manuals for structured cabling or telecom infrastructure, the shelf is notoriously empty when it comes to a practical playbook for Access Control, Video Surveillance, and Intrusion Detection.

Inside, you will discover: The "Integration Quarterback" Strategy: How to manage the critical flow of information between architects, electrical engineers, IT teams, and owners. Phase-Based Execution: Specific milestones for Schematic Design (SD), Design Development (DD), and Construction Documents (CD) so you never miss a deadline or a detail. The Bid-Phase Defense: How to write enforceable CSI three-part specifications that protect your design intent from "value engineering" and cheap substitutions. Actionable Checklists: Pro-level tools you can use on live projects today to catch common errors in device placement, power requirements, and network integration. Construction Administration & Closeout: Expert guidance on reviewing submittals, managing punch lists, and ensuring a successful system commissioning. Protect Your Reputation and Your Bottom Line In the AEC industry, a single uncoordinated door hardware set or a missed power drop can lead to thousands of dollars in change orders and professional liability.

From IP network coordination to acceptance testing protocols, you will learn how to produce professional-grade documentation that stands up to the rigors of the job site.
