So when her aunt enters into an imprudent second marriage, nineteen-year-old Emma is sent back home and must join her sisters in their pursuit of a husband . . . Aiken, author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, takes on the fate of Austens characters with confidence and skill, flawlessly entwining themes of loss and love together in this stunning regency pastiche.

People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centred. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. These commandments were first written down by Kent M. Keith for student leaders in the 1960s. Over the following years, they spread via word-of-mouth and became greatly valued - adopted by people far and wide. Now, for the first time, Keith's inspiring commandments appear in this life-changing book, with each principle illustrated with inspiring stories from his own life, as well as classic examples from history. They offer a way of living far removed from the lifestyle that strives for the popular symbols of success: wealth, power and fame. Instead, these ten rational principles focus on the enriching personal meaning that comes through living our lives selflessly and without recognition. Through accepting the Paradoxical Commandments and the paradoxical life, we are each truly free to be who we are really meant to be. Autorid: Kent M Keith

We live in a world in which Google's search algorithms determine how we access information, Facebook's News Feed algorithms shape how we socialize, and Netflix collaborative filtering algorithms choose the media products we consume. As such, we live algorithmic lives. Life, however, is not blindly controlled or determined by algorithms. Nor are we simply victims of an ever-expanding artificial intelligence. Rather than looking at how technologies shape or are shaped by political institutions, this book is concerned with the ways in which informational infrastructure may be considered political in its capacity to shape social and cultural life. It looks specifically at the conditions of algorithmic life -- how algorithms work, both materially and discursively, to create the conditions for sociality and connectivity. The book argues that the most important aspect of algorithms is not what they are in terms of their specific technical details but rather how they become part of social practices and how different people enlist them as powerful brokers of information, communication and society. If we truly want to engage with the promises of automation and predictive analytics entailed by the promises of "big data", we also need to understand the contours of algorithmic life that condition such practices. Setting out to explore both the specific uses of algorithms and the cultural forms they generate, this book offers a novel understanding of the power and politics of algorithmic life as grounded in case studies that explore the material-discursive dimensions of software.

In the fifteenth century, as astronomers charted the skies and explorers mapped the globe, the nature of life itself remained a mystery. It wasnt until the seventeenth century that Robert Hooke, looking through one of the earliest microscopes, coined the term cell. Nearly two centuries later, biologists established that all living organismsfrom animals and plants to algae and fungiare composed of cells. Around the same time, Charles Darwin introduced his theory of evolution, proposing that all life on Earth shares a common origin. Today, the scientific community has defined that origin as LUCAthe Last Universal Common Ancestor. Unraveling how LUCAthe ancestral cellemerged billions of years ago and gradually evolved into the vast diversity of life-forms we see today is a fascinating journey through history, biology, and the essence of what it means to be alive. Blending art with science, biologist Christian Sardet takes you on an exploration of DNA, RNA, proteins, protists, viruses, cell reproduction, aging, death, and more. Written in clear, accessible language and accompanied by artful illustrations, Cells: The Illustrated Story of Life offers an authoritative and visually captivating overview of the building blocks of life.

"Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one)"--

In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will return to North America for the first time since 1994, bringing the world's most watched sporting event to a nation of people more obsessed with soccer than ever before. With the proliferation of Emmy-winning television series set in and around the world of soccer--like Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham--and the celebrity ownership of teams by everyone from Ryan Reynolds to Elton John, soccer has skyrocketed in its international appeal. How did this game go from an upper-class pastime to one of the world's most inclusive, commercial, and political sports?Historian of sport Brian D. Bunk takes readers on a journey from soccer's humble roots nineteenth-century England to its meteoric rise in popular culture, tracing the game through time and space. Drawing on key historical and contemporary events, from World Cup boycotts to fights on the pitch, Bunk crafts a concise yet comprehensive history of the sport and an influence that continues to be felt around the world. For a society whose sources of entertainment are centralized around sports, The Shortest History of Soccer provides a helpful compendium for history buffs and soccer fans alike, helping to shape our perception of economics, politics, and the kind of indescribable camaraderie that only sports can provide.

For more than nine centuries, the region that makes up modern-day Turkey has been a cultural melting pot, straddling Asia and Europe. It has been home to Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and survived various conquests and periods of reform, appeals to tradition and calls to modernize. From the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire to the populist, authoritarian leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan today, Turkey has been a land caught between Islamic traditions and pressures to Westernize.In The Shortest History of Turkey, historian Benjamin C. Fortna offers a concise yet nuanced overview of this complex trajectory. He tracks the founding of the Ottoman Empire in the late thirteenth century, pressures for the empire to Westernize during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923, and its transition from a single-party regime to a multi-party republic throughout the twentieth century. Examining the politics and people behind the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic, Fortna reveals how persistent tensions between opposing visions for Turkey have shaped, and continue to shape, the country and its citizens.
