Now in paperback, this is the late travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor's own account of the operation to kidnap General Kreipe, the German Commander in Crete, in April 1944.

A Harvard psychiatrist, the author of A Prince of Our Disorder, presents accounts of alien abduction taken from the more than sixty cases he has investigated and examines the implications for our identity as a species. These mesmerizing and thought-provoking stories of alien encounters from a Harvard professor take you through actual case studies of people from all walks of life and ages who have had challenging, sometimes disturbing, and in every case, life changing experiences of alien abduction. "John Mack explores evidence of nonhuman intelligence like an attorney preparing for the 'trial of the century'--interviewing witnesses, examining physical evidence, consulting with experts in related fields, constantly questioning his own assumptions...As a story of one man's determination to bear witness to cosmic mysteries with extraordinary implications for the human future, Abduction is bound to become a modern classic" (Keith Thompson, author of Angels and Aliens)

In the annals of modern revolutionary movements, few figures loom as large or as polarizing as Abdullah Öcalan. Once the fiery leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Öcalan's life and ideas have shaped the course of the Kurdish struggle for nearly half a century. From his days as a young militant inspired by Marxist-Leninist ideals to his transformation into an imprisoned philosopher championing grassroots democracy, gender equality, and ecological justice, his journey mirrors the broader evolution of the PKK itself. Abdullah Öcalan and the PKK's Final Chapter offers a definitive exploration of this transformation - from a war for statehood to a movement seeking to redefine freedom itself. Drawing on history, politics, and first-hand accounts, the book examines the PKK's early insurgency, its bloody confrontations with the Turkish state, and the ideological reawakening that emerged from the isolation of Imrali Island prison. The narrative delves into the PKK's pivotal role in shaping the Kurdish regions of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran; its alliances and rivalries with other Kurdish factions; and its decisive interventions in regional conflicts, including the fight against ISIS. Readers will gain insight into the Rojava experiment in Syria, where Öcalan's vision of democratic confederalism was tested amid war and shifting alliances. This work is not only an account of battles fought in mountains and cities, but also of ideas waged in books, speeches, and political movements. It explores the deep fractures between Kurdish political entities, the pressures of regional geopolitics, and the PKK's efforts to survive under relentless military and diplomatic pressure. Meticulously researched and compellingly written, Abdullah Öcalan and the PKK's Final Chapter challenges simplistic narratives about terrorism and liberation, presenting a nuanced portrait of a movement at the crossroads of ideology, survival, and transformation. Whether you approach it as a student of Middle Eastern history, a reader fascinated by revolutionary thought, or someone seeking to understand one of the world's longest-running insurgencies, this book will leave you with a deeper understanding of the man, the movement, and the cause that refuses to fade. In the end, the story of Abdullah Öcalan and the PKK is not just about the past - it is about the enduring question of what freedom means in a world of shifting powers and endless struggle.

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the patriarch of the prestigious Nurmagomedov battling tradition, remains as the unstoppable foundation of a heritage scratched in the records of blended hand to hand fighting (MMA) history. His impact rises above the octagon, winding through the texture of discipline, versatility, and unflinching responsibility. Brought into the world in the rough territory of Dagestan in 1962, Abdulmanap's excursion from humble starting points to the apex of MMA training mirrors the actual embodiment of his getting through heritage. Supporting an enthusiasm for battle sports since early on, Abdulmanap's process unfurled against a background of misfortune, where assurance turned into the compass directing his direction. Outfitted with a constant hard working attitude, he dug into the complexities of wrestling, judo, and sambo, sharpening a multi-layered approach that would later shape the battling ability of his praised child, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Abdulmanap's instructing reasoning wasn't only bound to procedure; it rose above into the domain of imparting fundamental beliefs - discipline, regard, and lowliness. Abdulmanap's domination in the MMA training domain became tangible when he took on the position of lead trainer at the prestigious Hawks MMA Club in Dagestan. Here, in the midst of the tough scene that reflected the flexibility of its kin, he fastidiously created a preparation routine that joined customary hand to hand fighting with current strategies. His instructional meetings weren't just about actual ability; they were groundbreaking encounters that etched warriors into paragons of mental mettle. The delegated gem in Abdulmanap's training heritage arose through his relationship with his child, Khabib, a contender who rose above the game. The dad child pair shaped a tough bond, their coordinated effort filling in as the bedrock whereupon Khabib's unrivaled progress in the UFC was fabricated. Under Abdulmanap's direction, Khabib arose as an undefeated hero, typifying a combination of specialized brightness and unrivaled mental strength. Unfortunately, Abdulmanap's less than ideal destruction in 2020 cast a serious shadow over the MMA world. However, even in his actual nonattendance, his heritage perseveres as a directing light for hopeful warriors and mentors. The Birds MMA Club keeps on remaining as a demonstration of his getting through impact, a cauldron where champions are fashioned in expertise as well as in character. Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's inheritance is in excess of a narrative of triumphs; it is a story of steadiness, mentorship, and the dauntless soul that fills the quest for significance. His effect resounds a long ways past the limits of the octagon, reverberating through the halls of combative techniques exercise centers and the hearts of the people who keep on drawing motivation from his lessons. In Abdulmanap's getting through heritage, the substance of a genuine foundations lies - a relentless establishment whereupon champions are fabricated and a never-ending demonstration of the groundbreaking force of a mentor's insight.

The intellectual and human story of a mathematical proof that transformed our ideas about mathematics.In 1824 a young Norwegian named Niels Henrik Abel proved conclusively that algebraic equations of the fifth order are not solvable in radicals. In this book Peter Pesic shows what an important event this was in the history of thought. He also presents it as a remarkable human story. Abel was twenty-one when he self-published his proof, and he died five years later, poor and depressed, just before the proof started to receive wide acclaim. Abel's attempts to reach out to the mathematical elite of the day had been spurned, and he was unable to find a position that would allow him to work in peace and marry his fiancé.But Pesic's story begins long before Abel and continues to the present day, for Abel's proof changed how we think about mathematics and its relation to the "real" world. Starting with the Greeks, who invented the idea of mathematical proof, Pesic shows how mathematics found its sources in the real world (the shapes of things, the accounting needs of merchants) and then reached beyond those sources toward something more universal. The Pythagoreans' attempts to deal with irrational numbers foreshadowed the slow emergence of abstract mathematics. Pesic focuses on the contested development of algebra—which even Newton resisted—and the gradual acceptance of the usefulness and perhaps even beauty of abstractions that seem to invoke realities with dimensions outside human experience. Pesic tells this story as a history of ideas, with mathematical details incorporated in boxes. The book also includes a new annotated translation of Abel's original proof.

Reciprocity laws of various kinds play a central role in number theory. In the easiest case, one obtains a transparent formulation by means of roots of unity, which are special values of exponential functions. A similar theory can be developed for special values of elliptic or elliptic modular functions, and is called complex multiplication of such functions. In 1900 Hilbert proposed the generalization of these as the twelfth of his famous problems. In this book, Goro Shimura provides the most comprehensive generalizations of this type by stating several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions.This subject is closely connected with the zeta function of an abelian variety, which is also covered as a main theme in the book. The third topic explored by Shimura is the various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals. The investigation of such algebraicity is relatively new, but has attracted the interest of increasingly many researchers. Many of the topics discussed in this book have not been covered before. In particular, this is the first book in which the topics of various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals, as well as the special values of theta and Siegel modular functions, are treated extensively.

Ever since Abeng was first published in 1984, Michelle Cliff has steadily become a literary force. Her novels evoke both the clearly delineated hierarchies of colonial Jamaica and the subtleties of present-day island life. Nowhere is her power felt more than in Clare Savage, her Jamaican heroine, who appeared, already grown, in No Telephone to Heaven. Abeng is a kind of prequel to that highly-acclaimed novel and is a small masterpiece in its own right. Here Clare is twelve years old, the light-skinned daughter of a middle-class family, growing up among the complex contradictions of class versus color, blood versus history, harsh reality versus delusion, in a colonized country. In language that surrounds us with a richness of meaning and voices, the several strands of young Clare's heritage are explored: the Maroons, who used the conch shell-the abeng—to pass messages as they fought a guerilla struggle against their English enslavers; and the legacy of Clare's white great-great-grandfater, Judge Savage, who burned his hundred slaves on the eve of their emancipation. A lyrical, explosive coming-of-age story combined with a provocative retelling of the colonial history of Jamaica, this novel is a triumph.

Christ said, "Abide in Me." These were His last words to His disciples before he left for heaven. These intimate and spiritual words were the glue that strengthened the union with them and Himself. And abide in Him, they did. Today, many earnest followers of Jesus have lost the meaning of the words, "abide in Me." While they live their lives trusting in their Savior for pardon, help, and oneness, they never truly grasp the closeness and the intimacy intended by those words. And it shows - in the unspeakable loss and suffering in both the Church and the rest of the world. Through the blessing of God, Andrew Murray wrote the book "Abide in Christ," a book with 31 heart-warming meditations which will show the fearful, anxious, and weary how to live daily in closer communion with Jesus. In a short time each day, this classic book will be sure to bless and encourage you as fall in love with Jesus all over again. And, in so doing, you will better understand the wonder of "Abiding in Him," and all the blessings and benefits that entails as you continue your walk of faith.

"An incisive look into the early Buddhist teachings on emptiness, and a manual for bringing those teachings into our everyday lives. Before the growth of the Mahayana and the Perfection of Wisdom, the Buddha gave his own teachings, to his attendant Ananda, on the importance of emptiness (Pali sunnata, Sanskrit sunyata) in formal meditation and everyday practice. In this volume, renowned scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo explores these teachings and shows us how to integrate them into our lives. Bhikkhu Analayo draws from instructions found in the Greater and the Smaller Discourses on Emptiness (the Mahasunnatasutta and the Culasunnatasutta). In each chapter, he provides a translation of a pertinent excerpt from the discourses, follows this with clear and precise explanations of the text, and concludes by offering instructions for practice. Step by step, beginning with daily life and concluding with Nirvana, Bhikkhu Analayo unpacks the Buddha's teachings on the foundational teaching of emptiness."--

A teenage girl's difficult journey towards adulthood in a time of war.Of all her novels, Magda Szabó's Abigail is the most widely read in her native Hungary. Now, fifty years after it was written, it appears for the first time in English, joining Katalin Street and The Door in a loose trilogy about the impact of war on those who have to live with the consequences.It is late 1943 and Hitler, exasperated by the slowness of his Hungarian ally to act on the "Jewish question" and alarmed by the weakness on his southern flank, is preparing to occupy the country. Foreseeing this, and concerned for his daughter's safety, a Budapest father decides to send her to a boarding school away from the capital.A lively, sophisticated, somewhat spoiled teenager, she is not impressed by the reasons she is given, and when the school turns out to be a fiercely Puritanical one in a provincial city a long way from home, she rebels outright. Her superior attitude offends her new classmates and things quickly turn sour.It is the start of a long and bitter learning curve that will open her eyes to her arrogant blindness to other people's true motives and feelings. Exposed for the first time to the realities of life for those less privileged than herself, and increasingly confronted by evidence of the more sinister purposes of the war, she learns lessons about the nature of loyalty, courage, sacrifice and love.Translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix

Abigail LOVES to count. It is her very favourite thing. But when she tries counting Zebra's stripes and Cheetah's spots, they just won't sit still. It's hopeless! What will Abigail do?

Fourteen-year-old Gina, the spoiled daughter of a Hungarian general, rails against being sent to boarding school far from Budapest when war breaks out, but finds help in a statue of Abigail and her new "sisters."

Woody Holton (NBA-finalist, "Unruly Americans") offers a sweeping reinterpretation of American icon Abigail Adams's life in this vivid new biography.

Climate change will impact horticultural production in the future. The present work assesses the future climatic impact on regional horticultural production by establishing a basic frame of a climate impact modeling chain. Using high resolved simulated climate time series of future alternatives of the worlds development, long-term trends of various climate effects were assessed. For this purpose, simulated climate time series were calibrated and effects of resolution, bias, bias correction, scenario, climate model and impact model as well uncertainty propagation along the simulation chain were investigated. A multidimensional bias correction method was developed in order to optimize climate time series consistency.

A collection of essential quotations from the renowned fashion designer, DJ, and stylistAbloh-isms is a collection of essential quotations from American fashion designer, DJ, and stylist Virgil Abloh, who was a major creative figure in the worlds of pop culture and art. Abloh began his career as Kanye West’s creative director before founding the luxury streetwear label Off-White and becoming artistic director for Louis Vuitton, making Abloh the first American of African descent to hold that title at a French fashion house. Defying categorization, Abloh’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and galleries, most notably in a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this selection of compelling and memorable quotations from the designer reveals his thoughts on a wide range of subjects, including creativity, passion, innovation, race, and what it means to be an artist of his generation. Lively and thought-provoking, these quotes reflect Abloh’s unique perspective as a trailblazer in his fields.Select quotations from the book: “I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it.” “Life is collaboration. Where I think art can be sort of misguided is that it propagates this idea of itself as a solo love affair―one person, one idea, no one else involved.” “Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldn’t before."

From 1971 until his death in 1984, Foucault gave public lectures at the world-famous College de France. Attended by thousands, these were seminal events in the world of French letters. Picador is proud to be publishing the lectures in thirteen volumes. The lectures comprising Abnormal begin by examining the role of psychiatry in modern criminal justice, and its method of categorizing individuals who "resemble their crime before they commit it." Building on the themes of societal self-defense in "Society Must Be Defended," Foucault shows how and why defining "abnormality" and "normality" were prerogatives of power in the nineteenth century. The College de France lectures add immeasurably to our appreciation of Foucault's work and offer a unique window into his thinking.

Former insider turned critic Wendy Liu busts the myths of the tech industry, and offers a galvanising argument for why and how we must reclaim technology's potential for the public good.Former insider turned critic Wendy Liu busts the myths of the tech industry, and offers a galvanising argument for why and how we must reclaim technology's potential for the public good."Lucid, probing and urgent. Wendy Liu manages to be both optimistic about the emancipatory potential of tech and scathing about the industry that has harnessed it for bleak and self-serving ends." -- Naomi Klein, author of On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal"An inspiring memoir manifesto...Technologists all over the world are realizing that no amount of code can substitute for political engagement. Liu's memoir is a road map for that journey of realization." -- Cory Doctorow, author of Radicalized and Little BrotherInnovation. Meritocracy. The possibility of overnight success. What's not to love about Silicon Valley?These days, it's hard to be unambiguously optimistic about the growth-at-all-costs ethos of the tech industry. Public opinion is souring in the wake of revelations about Cambridge Analytica, Theranos, and the workplace conditions of Amazon workers or Uber drivers. It's becoming clear that the tech industry's promised "innovation" is neither sustainable nor always desirable.Abolish Silicon Valley is both a heartfelt personal story about the wasteful inequality of Silicon Valley, and a rallying call to engage in the radical politics needed to upend the status quo. Going beyond the idiosyncrasies of the individual founders and companies that characterise the industry today, Wendy Liu delves into the structural factors of the economy that gave rise to Silicon Valley as we know it. Ultimately, she proposes a more radical way of developing technology, where innovation is conducted for the benefit of society at large, and not just to enrich a select few.
