The political struggle that reshaped the Roman Republic in the 70s BCE is reinterpreted here from a new perspective. The analysis argues that the followers of Q. Sertorius forged a coherent movement for political reform that actively challenged the Sullan regime across several Roman provinces, including Hispania Ulterior, Hispania Citerior, and Asia. By integrating literary, epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological evidence, the study reconstructs the political discourse developed by this group of exiles engaged in a Republican civil war. A central focus lies on the Sertorian glandes inscriptae, inscribed lead slingshots from Hispania bearing formulas such as Q. Sertorius proconsul on the obverse and values including ius, pietas, fides, veritas, and spes, alongside symbols such as fasces, palm branches, anchors, and rudders. These messages reveal a shared vocabulary of legality, moral authority, and imperial projection of power. Through this material, the book demonstrates the existence of two competing Republics, one ruled by the Sullani, the other by the Sertorians, contesting hegemony across the Mediterranean basin. It will appeal to scholars of Roman civil wars, provincial history, political language and symbolism, as well as material culture.
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor.For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job.Here's how to be a better manager.Here's how to approach design.Here's how to start a company.Here's how to run it.Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILDThis is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'Malcolm Gladwell,Host of the Revisionist History podcast.

Take a roller coaster ride through the gutter in this gripping pull-no-punches thriller from S. Craig Zahler He knows what you'll do - including what you'll sacrifice for protection. Darren Tasking is an entrepreneur whose business is people, and when it comes to people he specializes in risk, pleasure, and fear. He knows what will break you - before you even feel a second of pain. Tasking has everything and everyone, in his orbit, under control. If there's something he wants he will alter your life, elaborately and maliciously, until you yield to his wishes. He knows what makes the Machos tick - and how to keep them in the dark. The police tried to keep Tasking down with their macho modus operandi, sent him away long ago, but they couldn't keep him incarcerated forever. Now he's older, uncommonly careful, and keeps the machos oblivious to his enterprises. But when he meets a dancer named Erin Green at the Cherry Red strip club everything changes. He knows the streets of Great Crown, Florida can only be dominated by the remorseless insights of a relentless slick like him. The brothels and gambling parlors secreted behind iron doors keep the slick autonomous and successful, but Erin proves to be the variable that could put him on a collision course with unrepentant sadists, machos, and a trap created by the slick's own extortionist machinations. The Slanted Gutter is a devastating character study painted with the darkest shades of noir, penned by a hand as unflinching as Tasking's steely-eyed pursuit of his large dollar goal, as unforgiving on the reader as those who seek retribution against the slick for his nocturnal misdeeds. Step into this gutter at your own risk.

WINNER OF THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEA playful, feminist, and utterly original epic set in contemporary northern India, about a family and the inimitable octogenarian matriarch at its heart.?A tale tells itself. It can be complete, but also incomplete, the way all tales are. This particular tale has a border and women who come and go as they please. Once you've got women and a border, a story can write itself . . .?Eighty-year-old Ma slips into a deep depression after the death of her husband. Despite her family's cajoling, she refuses to leave her bed. Her responsible eldest son, Bade, and dutiful, Reebok-sporting daughter-in-law, Bahu, attend to Ma's every need, while her favorite grandson, the cheerful and gregarious Sid, tries to lift her spirits with his guitar. But it is only after Sid's younger brother?Serious Son, a young man pathologically incapable of laughing?brings his grandmother a sparkling golden cane covered with butterflies that things begin to change.With a new lease on life thanks to the cane's seemingly magical powers, Ma gets out of bed and embarks on a series of adventures that baffle even her unconventional feminist daughter, Beti. She ditches her cumbersome saris, develops a close friendship with a hijra, and sets off on a fateful journey that will turn the family's understanding of themselves upside down.Rich with fantastical elements, folklore, and exuberant wordplay, Geetanjali Shree's magnificent novel explores timely and timeless topics, including Buddhism, global warming, feminism, Partition, gender binary, transcending borders, and the profound joys of life. Elegant, heartbreaking, and funny, it is a literary masterpiece that marks the American debut of an extraordinary writer.Translated from the Hindi by Daisy RockwellAuthor's name pronounced: Ghee-TAHN-juh-lee Shree
THE BIGGEST LIE IN MEDICINEDoctors say cancer is a mistake. They say it happens when your cells go haywire. They say your body betrays you. They say it's all random.What if they're lying?What if cancer is not a mistake? What if cancer is a living parasite inside you? Something feeding on you. Something growing inside you, not by accident, but by design.You have been told cancer is genetic. That's bullshit. Cancer spreads like an infection. It moves through the blood, hijacks your body, and tricks your immune system into protecting it. It behaves like a parasite, because it is one.But you will never hear this from a doctor. Why? Because they make too much money treating cancer the wrong way.Chemo, radiation, and surgery are a trillion-dollar business. They cut, burn, and poison. But they never ask what cancer really is. They tell you it's inside you, so it must be your fault. Bad genes. Bad luck. Bad choices.That lie keeps the money flowing.They don't want you to know about parasites, bacteria, and hidden infections inside tumors. They don't want you asking why anti-parasitic drugs are wiping out cancer in some people. They don't want you looking at the research that got buried.Cancer is not your body turning against you. Cancer is something invading you. Something alive. And if you knew that, you would never trust their treatments again.

In November 2022, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power in Israel after the fifth election in less than four years. Propped up by a bloc of far-right and ultra-religious parties, Netanyahu's government is the most extreme administration in Israeli history. It has pushed Israeli society to breaking point. Israel now faces cataclysmic rifts and an existential crisis. Pfeffer charts the mass protests against Netanyahu's attempts to silence the judiciary and expand settlement in the West Bank, as well as the shattering of Israel's core beliefs after October 7th and the calamitous war in Gaza. No King In Israel is the definitive story of Israel's fractured democracy, and of the fight to define what Israel should be.

Murder in a slot canyon. Death in Glen Canyon Dam. Unpacking the past to stop a killer. How did Gerald Glass die down in Glen Canyon Dam years ago? Accident? Suicide? Murder? What legacy did he leave his children? Bitterness and despair? Respect and admiration? And how is that legacy about to play itself out? The answers to these questions power this second book in The Glen Canyon Trilogy, in which Head Ranger Sarah Tanner and her colleagues- Park Rangers Luke Russell and Tommy Two Clouds, FBI Special Agent Luanda Wilmington, and Dr. Jordan Hunt-join forces once again to confront an old foe now in league with a new partner, a disturbed wildlife biologist with a warped desire to see the dam destroyed. Complicating matters is a meddling Washington bureaucrat covering up a terrible secret. Author of The Murder of Eddie Watchman, Richard Ryan populates this story of attempted redemption with a gorgeous blond nymphet, a hippy with a trust fund and helicopter parents, a small-town process server cum P.I., and a starry eyed high school valedictorian. Set in the starkly beautiful wilderness of Lake Powell and the cold heart of Glen Canyon Dam, this story of kismet, parental betrayal, an old enigma, misguided loyalty, and soured idealism, keeps the hits coming until the ultimate detonation.
The psychoses of artificial intelligence playfully describe a series of malfunctions and unpredictable behaviours that can occur in AI systems. These phenomena are worrying as they can lead to serious and often unexpected consequences. Such "psychoses" occur when AI systems are trained based on incomplete, erroneous or biased data, leading to incorrect decisions and inappropriate behaviours. A prominent example of such a malfunction is the reinforcement of existing prejudices. If an AI is trained on data that contains historical or social prejudices, it can unconsciously adopt and further reinforce these prejudices. This can lead to discriminatory decisions, for example when granting loans, hiring employees or in the criminal justice system. Such biases can systematically disadvantage minorities and marginalised groups, further cementing existing inequalities. Another example is safety-critical malfunctions. In areas such as medical diagnostics, autonomous vehicle control or industrial automation, wrong decisions can have serious consequences. An autonomous vehicle that misidentifies a pedestrian and fails to stop in time, or a medical system that fails to correctly diagnose an illness, can have life-threatening consequences. Recognising and eliminating these and other problems requires an interdisciplinary approach. Error detection and correction techniques are explained in detail. This includes the use of advanced anomaly detection algorithms and the implementation of monitoring systems that analyse the performance of the AI in real time. All this and many other elements of AI research are comprehensively presented by the author. Carl Whittaker is the author of the basic work "The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence", published in December 2023 (ISBN: 978-3-911075-94-7)
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAfter providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns, and shunned by every other team, Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him. Against enormous odds, Rick lands a job—as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers . . . of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player—any former NFL player—at their helm. And now they’ve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn’t speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy—the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano—holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.
An emotionally charged romance between a powerful man who's never heard "no" and a fiery woman who says "yes" on her own terms He was the one man I couldn't avoid. And the one man I couldn't resist. Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me. Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past-and risk breaking us apart. But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him-and us-forever. Release Me is intended for mature audiences.

"A Dog's Heart: An Appalling Story" is Mikhail Bulgakov's hilarious satire on Communist hypocrisies. This "Penguin Classics" edition is translated with notes by Andrew Bromfield, and includes an introduction by James Meek. In this surreal work by the author of "The Master and Margarita", wealthy Moscow surgeon Filip Preobrazhensky implants the pituitary gland and testicles of a drunken petty criminal into the body of a stray dog named Sharik. As the dog slowly transforms into a man, and the man into a slovenly, lecherous government official, the doctor's life descends into chaos. A scathing indictment of the New Soviet Man, "A Dog's Heart" was immediately banned by the Soviet government when it was first published in 1925: alternating lucid realism with pulse-raising drama, the novel captures perfectly the atmosphere of its rapidly changing times. Andrew Bromfield's vibrant translation is accompanied by an introduction by James Meek, which places the work in the context of the Russian class struggles of the era and considers the vision, progressive style and lasting relevance of an author who was isolated and suppressed during his lifetime.This edition also contains notes and a chronology. Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) was born in Kiev, today the capital of Ukraine. After finishing high school, Bulgakov entered the Medical School of Kiev University, graduating in 1916. He wrote about his experiences as a doctor in his early works "Notes on Cuffs" and "Notes of a Young Country Doctor". His later works treated the subject of the artist and the tyrant under the guise of historical characters, but "The Master and Margarita" is generally considered his masterpiece. Fame, at home and abroad, was not to come until a quarter of a century after his death at Moscow in 1940. If you enjoyed "A Dog's Heart", you might like Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita", also available in "Penguin Classics". "One of the greatest of modern Russian writers, perhaps the greatest". (Nigel Jones, "Independent").
Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation is the only translation that counts. They are the only translators who succeed in making Dostoevsky accessible to a 21st century audience, thanks to their ruthless attention to detail at the expense of alterations which can dilute Dostoevsky's unique and flowing style of writing. The great appeal this book retains even today is in part due to Pevear and Volokhonsky, as well as to Dostoevsky himself. Furthermore, Richard Pevear's substantial introduction is essential reading. It explains the purpose of the book and the historical significance of its ideas. Dostoevsky was writing at a time when Russia had reason to be optimistic, but the warning signs in his fiction perhaps leave us clues as to why Russia still has social problems today - and why, less than 40 years after Dostoevsky's death, Russia embraced Communism and destroyed the society in which Dostoevsky had lived
