Tekkonkinkreet [manga] : black & white / by Matsumoto, Taiyō,1967-author,artist.(CARDINAL)555657; Dutro, Steve,letterer.(CARDINAL)535010; Olsen, Lillian,translator.(CARDINAL)543425;
"This Tekkonkinkreet: Black & White 30th Anniversary Edition, by acclaimed manga artist Taiyo Matsumoto, is restored to its original right-to-left orientation and features all the original color pages, a full-color foldout poster, and a brand new afterword by the author. In the somewhere-sprawl of Treasure Town, two young boys, Black and White, rule the streets. Like avatars of the city itself, they are its will and its voice, full of love and compassion, as well as danger and violence. As they leap from rooftop to rooftop, from lamppost to lamppost, nothing escapes their notice. But the city is changing beneath their feet as a yakuza-backed corporate development moves in. When the gangsters make a play to remove Black and White, the boys push back. The police have an interest in Black and White as well, trying to make sure things don't get out of hand--but things will. A battle begins between corruption and innocence, a struggle for the soul of the city itself, that will change Black and White and the city around them forever."--Amazon.com.

Harold's Hungry Eyes / by Waldron, Kevin.(CARDINAL)496399;
Like most dogs, Harold is food-obsessed. Unlike most dogs, he imagines food in the most unlikely places -- on buildings, cars, lampposts, even fire hydrants! When Harold gets lost in the big city, his hunger gets the best of him: his mouth waters at the roast turkey in the mailbox, his stomach growls at the pie clock on the building, and he can barely resist the waffle manhole cover. Thankfully, Harold's hungry eyes lead him to familiar landmarks and he soon finds his way home...to breakfast!

Bad data : why we measure the wrong things and often miss the metrics that matter / by Schryvers, Peter,1983-author.(CARDINAL)823383;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-314) and index.Introduction -- Teaching to the test: Goodhart's Law and the paradox of metrics -- The ins and outs: the logic model and program evaluation -- The long and short of it: intertemporal problems and undervaluing time -- The problem of per: denominator errors -- The forest and the trees: simplifying complex systems -- Apples and oranges: ignoring differing qualities -- Not everything that can be counted counts: the lamppost problem -- Not everything that counts can be counted: measuring what matters -- The measure of metrics -- Gateways not yardsticks.Big data is often touted as the key to understanding almost every aspect of contemporary life. This critique of "information hubris" shows that even more important than data is finding the right metrics to evaluate it. The author, an expert in environmental design and city planning, examines the many ways in which we measure ourselves and our world. He dissects the metrics we apply to health, worker productivity, our children's education, the quality of our environment, the effectiveness of leaders, the dynamics of the economy, and the overall well-being of the planet. Among the areas where the wrong metrics have led to poor outcomes, he cites the fee-for-service model of health care, corporate cultures that emphasize time spent on the job while overlooking key productivity measures, overreliance on standardized testing in education to the detriment of authentic learning, and a blinkered focus on carbon emissions, which underestimates the impact of industrial damage to our natural world. He also examines various communities and systems that have achieved better outcomes by adjusting the ways in which they measure data. The best results are attained by those that have learned not only what to measure and how to measure it, but what it all means. By highlighting the pitfalls inherent in data analysis, this illuminating book reminds us that not everything that can be counted really counts.

The girl they took / by Wolfe, Leslie(Fiction writer),Author.(CARDINAL)678660;
Where her daughter had played Gretel in front of a cheering audience, only two faint stage lights remained. The theater was deserted and eerily silent; the only sound she could hear was her own heart, pounding in a frenzy against her chest. She rushed outside and stopped sharply at the top of the stairs, stunned, her blood turned to icicles. Darkness had fallen, thick and filled with ocean mist, lampposts like ghosts sprinkling yellow haloes in the sky.Paige was gone. They'd taken her little girl.
