What happens when your brain is simultaneously craving routine and chaos, seeking solitude and connection, processing everything and nothing all at once?At 27, after a lifetime of being labeled "gifted but lazy," "too sensitive," and "so much potential if only she'd apply herself," the author finally discovered the answer: she wasn't broken-she was AuDHD (autistic and ADHD).This raw, honest memoir takes you inside the contradictory world of living with both autism and ADHD, from the confusion of undiagnosed childhood through the exhaustion of adult masking to the liberation and challenges of late diagnosis.Through vivid personal stories, you'll discover:What executive dysfunction actually feels like when you're brilliant but can't remember if you ate lunchWhy someone can be articulate in writing but go nonverbal mid-conversationHow sensory overload and hyperactivity create an impossible internal tug-of-warThe exhausting performance of "passing" as neurotypical and why masking eventually breaksWhat autistic burnout really means and why it's different from regular burnoutHow to build a life that works WITH your neurodivergent brain instead of against itThe journey from shame to acceptance when you finally understand your own wiringThis isn't another inspiration story about "overcoming" neurodivergence. It's the messy, complicated, sometimes painful, often beautiful reality of discovering you've been playing life on expert mode without knowing there were difficulty settings.Perfect for:Adults seeking or processing autism/ADHD diagnosisParents wanting to understand their neurodivergent children's futurePartners, friends, and family of neurodivergent individualsTherapists and educators seeking lived-experience perspectivesAnyone who's ever felt like they're "too much" and "not enough" at the same timePart memoir, part roadmap, part validation for the undiagnosed and misunderstood, "Life in Stereo" offers hope without minimizing struggle, celebrates neurodiversity without denying challenges, and provides the recognition so many of us needed:
When money loses meaning, when supply chains shatter, when institutions hollow out-most people wait for rescue. A few start building. The Ascent Begins is a field manual for what comes after empire. Weaving history, psychology, and myth, Shanaka Anslem Perera reveals how civilizations collapse and how individuals rebuild coherence from the ruins. Across four parts and sixty Keys, the book distills lessons from five thousand years of human experience-from the fall of Bronze Age networks to the rise of digital commons-to show the enduring geometry of renewal: moral, mental, and material. Readers will learn how to audit dependencies before they break, design micro-economies that endure through chaos, transmit skills and meaning across generations, and safeguard attention in the algorithmic age. Drawing on philosophy, systems theory, and cultural history, The Ascent Begins offers not apocalypse literature but reconstruction literature-a blueprint for those who refuse to surrender to entropy. Empires fall. Systems fail. But fire endures. This is how to carry it forward.
'A stunning debut' GUARDIAN 'A feast of gender-bending pleasures' THE BIG ISSUE She keeps her eyes on me while she lights the end of my cigarette. I stare back at her. Something in the pills and in her eyes is opening up my muscles like hands parting from prayer, like trees breathing. EROS is a stunning collection of short stories, grounded in truth and coloured with dazzling imagination and alluring, unpredictable mystery. Revealing how queerness, nature and myth have been intertwined for eternity, these are stories of gods and goddesses. Of Zeus, of Eurydice, of Hermaphroditus, of Icarus before he flew into the sun. Stories of queer life, lust, revenge, wrath, passion and sex. Of yearning, love, loss. Some transformations span across a life, and others, an evening. Perspectives will shift. Houses will burn. Lovers will learn their fate. Zoe Terakes has skilfully blended myth and modernity to illuminate the complex and enduring truth of trans lives, resisting a history of erasure and delivering a sexy, soul-touching book to read to your lover . . . or yourself. 'Transness is not an abnormality of nature but a necessity of it. You'll find that refrain woven into EROS's tapestry, stitched into the way characters dive into the ocean, like they are returning to it' VOGUE Autorid: Zoe Terakes

*THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE READ BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE DUSKWALKER BRIDES SERIES OR BOOK 1 OF THE PREQUEL - To Trap a Soul*A hundred and fifty years have passed, and much has happened for Lindiwe.

She fears for what's left of her humanity if she does...Weldir's indifference has begun to dissipate.In the wake of his mate's teasing, her desire, and her lovely fire, obsession and infatuation violently collide. He wants her, just as much as he craves her soul to embrace.As their Mavka offspring begin their own lives, he yearns for freedom from his realm. But for a bodiless demi-god, who doesn't belong in her world and cannot leave his own, there's no solution within his intangible reach.
Weaving an anthology is like stitching a patchwork quilt, each story a precious scrap from the soul. Choosing which to include? Well, that is a delicate dance, for too much sugar makes hearts cloy, and humour without bite leaves the soul hollow. Genre niches squeeze too tight, some turn away, shadows clinging. But striking the perfect chord, a symphony on paper, is a leap of faith. "Stories to Share with My Partner - Book 10" is my melody, a chorus of whispers and shouts, hoping to touch every string of your heart. Some titles bare their secrets; others play hide-and-seek, but in each, I offer a piece of myself, hoping you find yours reflected within.
In this book we give a complete geometric description of state spaces of operator algebras, Jordan as well as associative. That is, we give axiomatic characterizations of those convex sets that are state spaces of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, together with such characterizations for the normed Jordan algebras called JB-algebras and JBW-algebras. These non associative algebras generalize C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras re spectively, and the characterization of their state spaces is not only of interest in itself, but is also an important intermediate step towards the characterization of the state spaces of the associative algebras. This book gives a complete and updated presentation of the character ization theorems of [10]' [11] and [71]. Our previous book State spaces of operator algebras: basic theory, orientations and C*-products, referenced as [AS] in the sequel, gives an account of the necessary prerequisites on C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, as well as a discussion of the key notion of orientations of state spaces. For the convenience of the reader, we have summarized these prerequisites in an appendix which contains all relevant definitions and results (listed as (AI), (A2), ... ), with reference back to [AS] for proofs, so that this book is self-contained.
This collection of selected contributions gives an account of recent developments in dynamic game theory and its applications, covering both theoretical advances and new applications of dynamic games in such areas as pursuit-evasion games, ecology, and economics.

Initially flying Italian-supplied Flat G.50s, the Croat forces suffered heavy losses during 1942 whilst flying alongside JG 52 in the southern sector of the Russian front. Despite this, a significant number of kills fell to future aces such as Cvitan Galic and Mato Dubovak during this time, and when the units re-equipped with Bf 109G- 10s in 1943, battle-seasoned Croat pilots started to rack up impressive scores. This book reveals how, by 1944, Croat air groups were defending Yugoslavia from British and American air raids, and in the final months of the war a handful of surviving pilots fought on until final defeat in May 1945.
