Design is eminent throughout different disciplines of science, engineering, humanities, and art. However, within these disciplines, the way in which the term design is understood and applied differs significantly. There still is a profound lack of interdisciplinary research on this issue. The same term is not even guaranteed to carry the same meaning as soon as one crosses over to other disciplines. Therefore, related synergies between disciplines remain largely unexplored and unexploited.This book will address design in the hope of promoting a deeper understanding of it across various disciplines, and to support Design Science as a discipline, which attempts to cover the vast number of currently isolated knowledge sources.

At the start of Christophers cartoonish fourth Templar suspense novel (after The Templar Throne), a sniper assassinates the pope while the Holy Father is giving the Christmas blessing on the balcony of St. Peters Basilica. Before easily escaping, the killer also fatally shoots a cardinal, two bishops, and the Vaticans official photographer. This outrage is merely the prologue to an even greater intended act of political violence, the murder of the U.S. president, whos sure to attend the pontiffs funeral. The presidents death will pave the way for the rise to power of right-wing Sen. Richard Sinclair, a story line used far more effectively by Richard Condon in The Manchurian Candidate. Standing in the way of the bad guys is the cliched pairing of an older ex-soldier, John "Doc" Holliday, and his attractive younger female protege, Peggy Blackstock, who respond to traumatic situations with banter out of one of the weaker James Bond movies.
