These speedcubers often participate in global competitions, with the first world champion being Minh Thai in 1982. The world record, achieved by Yusheng Du, currently stands at an astonishing 3.47 seconds. The book discusses the techniques behind such fast solving times, emphasizing minimal moves and efficient finger pushes. Beyond solving methods, the book covers various aspects of the Rubik's Cube world, including move notation, the cube's composition, and other learning methods.

The Cube of Strategic Management: The Distinctive Advantage of Organizations is a trans-disciplinary book that introduces the author’s new business model of the geometrization of management. The author advocates that strategic management has to shift to include a science and technology perspective, to not only support business administration but also to make this scientific perspective an inherent part of management strategy building. The book spans the fundamental and the theoretical aspects and advances this new management model in response to the current and future 21st-century synergic interconnection needs in addressing management and marketing post-modern strategies. The book is a quintessence of the historical theories of the various 8th fold ideas of management (Taylor, Drucker, Peters & Waterman, Covey) and applies them in an innovative new way. The author uses the cube and its 8 corners for the first time to represent 8 forms of the strategic management way of business, in that the 8 corners of a cube represent the competitive advantage of (any) organization.

"Readers who know Gerdes mainly as an excellent women’s fiction author will be pleasantly surprised to find she is equally remarkable when it comes to blending the thrills and chills of a thriller with biotechnology and cyber suspense. The standard techno thriller components: a secret government conspiracy, evil masterminds are part of the plot, but Gerdes’s balanced writing (which is an impressive blend of credible action and emotional depth) lifts the techno thriller elements well above the average thriller norm. Complicated technical terms and cyber space detail are plenty, but Gerdes’s skillful use of accessible language while explaining complexities keeps the flow of the narrative smooth. Flawlessly blending high tension with accessible technology, Gerdes has created another winner. YA as well as mature readers of techno thrillers will be rewarded." The Prairie Book Review Apr 7, 2020 Rumors of titanium cubes, containing all the financial and personal records of each American citizen, begin filling the Darknet. Within days, every major criminal circuit begins searching for the missing cubes and the one who knows where they are. They seek Kyle Smith. In his hometown of Ouray, Colorado, Kyle has become a pariah. His lone ally, FBI Agent Brayden Cox, is in federal custody, leaving Kyle alone and vulnerable. Arrested by the NSA, Kyle successfully resists attempts to extract information of the cube’s whereabouts. Upon release and determined to finish the job he started, Kyle retrieves the remaining identity cubes he has hidden within a top-secret government facility near town. The consequences are immediate and unanticipated. An NSA agent is found dead and Kyle’s girlfriend, Billy, volunteers to have a face transplant using data derived from one of the cubes Kyle has in his possession. And when agent Cox is exonerated and assigned to lead a task force focused upon saving the country from financial collapse, Kyle is forced to make a choice: does he work with the wrong people for the right reason, knowing his moral and ethical values will be compromised but lives will be saved, or does he go it alone, relying on his own wits and resources, on the run from criminals as well as the government? Unable to trust those around him, Kyle only knows he must stay alive long enough to bring down the government that created this catastrophic situation and prevent it from happening again.

Known for her expansive multidisciplinary approach to art making Vancouver-based Dana Claxton, who is Hunkpapa Lakota (Sioux), has investigated notions of Indigenous identity, beauty, gender and the body, as well as broader social and political issues through a practice which encompasses photography, film, video and performance. Rooted in contemporary art strategies, her practice critiques the representations of Indigenous people that circulate in art, literature and popular culture in general. In doing so, Claxton regularly combines Lakota traditions with "Western" influences, using a powerful and emotive "mix, meld and mash" approach to address the oppressive legacies of colonialism and to articulate Indigenous world views, histories and spirituality. This timely catalogue will be the first monograph to examine the full breadth and scope of Claxton's practice. It will be extensively illustrated and will include essays by Claxton's colleague Jaleh Mansoor, Associate Professor in the Department of Art History, Visual Art & Theory at the University of British Columbia; Monika Kin Gagnon, Professor in the Communications Department at Concordia University, who has followed Claxton's work for 25 years; Olivia Michiko Gagnon, a New York-based scholar and doctoral student in Performance Studies; and Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
