A science-fantasy adventure! With their spaceship destroyed, the remaining two survivors of a failed colonization mission jettison down to a planet with the hope they can survive. Duncan, a bookish linguist, and Alexis, a beautiful gladiator in the prime of her career, suddenly find themselves drawn into the struggles between two warring kingdoms. Their fortunes improve when Alexis' combat skills are discovered, and she is challenged by the nation's berserker who underestimates his opponent and pays dearly for it. Yet no sooner is she awarded his position, title, and wealth when she is called upon to lead the nation's warriors in the first full scale battle she has ever experienced, against an enemy who take no prisoners. With the very real possibility that Alexis might not survive the battle, Duncan is left alone to fend for himself. Calling himself a Wizard of the Universe, he is brought before the Council of Prelates to explain his obvious heresy. Deftly answering their questions, he throws caution to the wind and challenges the nation's High Priest to a contest of divine favor. The one who calls down thunder and lightning from the sky is the chosen one of God and becomes the nation's High Priest. The loser dies.

This Gaming Life: Travels in Three Cities by Jim Rossignol (13 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

"In May 2000 I was fired from my job as a reporter on a finance newsletter because of an obsession with a video game. It was the best thing that ever happened to me." So begins this story of personal redemption through the unlikely medium of electronic games. Quake, World of Warcraft, Eve Online, and other online games not only offered author Jim Rossignol an excellent escape from the tedium of office life. They also provided him with a diverse global community and a job -- as a games journalist. Part personal history, part travel narrative, part philosophical reflection on the meaning of play, This Gaming Life describes Rossignol's encounters in three cities: London, Seoul, and Reykjavik. From his days as a Quake genius in London's increasingly corporate gaming culture; to Korea, where gaming is a high-stakes televised national sport; to Iceland, the home of his ultimate obsession, the idiosyncratic and beguiling Eve Online, Rossignol introduces us to a vivid and largely undocumented world of gaming lives. Torn between unabashed optimism about the future of games and lingering doubts about whether they are just a waste of time, This Gaming Life also raises important questions about this new and vital cultural form. Should we celebrate the "serious" educational, social, and cultural value of games, as academics and journalists are beginning to do? Or do these high-minded justifications simply perpetuate the stereotype of games as a lesser form of fun? In this beautifully written, richly detailed, and inspiring book, Rossignol brings these abstract questions to life, immersing us in a vibrant landscape of gaming experiences. "We need more writers like Jim Rossignol, writers who are intimately familiar with gaming, conversant in the latest research surrounding games, and able to write cogently and interestingly about the experience of playing as well as the deeper significance of games." -- Chris Baker, Wired "This Gaming Life is a fascinating and eye-opening ...

This book highlights so many traumatic issues and fears, and journeys through some of the darkest parts of humanity where no detail is spared. This book will make you laugh and cry, leaving goosebumps on your skin. However, in all the sadness and pain, Anneliese helps show us that there is a way out of it. There are paths to light, but we need to want to see them for ourselves. She teaches us that it is within our grasp to be better than the stereotypes and not to get bogged down by society.

She slumped further in her seat, allowing me to explore just a little bit further up along the inside of her thigh. I felt the leather of her skirt and I easily bypassed that and worked my way closer and closer to the heated surface that I could feel on my toes. I still had my hands gripping her wrist and in a moment to save face, she tried to pull away to no avail. "I don't know what you... I don't know... I don't know anything anymore." I had her tripping over her own words and then I allowed her that momentary respite when the food arrived. I was ravenous and I ate everything on my plate, but not in a way that would be seen, as unusually fast or barbaric. I didn't want her to see that I was some kind of animal, even though the need to grab this with my bare hands was almost too much for me to take. I sat there and finished my crème brule. I was savoring the taste of food. I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep it down. The only thing that I could even consume, as nourishment was the human body. I used to feel sick about it, but I had accepted my role in the universe. She didn't look like she was in the mood to have dinner. Her chest was flushed, her breathing heavy and her eyes were fluttering with the sensation that I had already inflicted on her. Dropping my napkin on the floor, I excused myself with her mouth now parting with the realization of what I was about to do.

In Defense of Monopoly: How Market Power Fosters Creative Production by Richard B. McKenzie (1 Review)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

In Defense of Monopoly offers an unconventional but empirically grounded argument in favor of market monopolies. Authors McKenzie and Lee claim that conventional, static models exaggerate the harm done by real-world monopolies, and they show why some degree of monopoly presence is necessary to maximize the improvement of human welfare over time. Inspired by Joseph Schumpeter's suggestion that market imperfections can drive an economy's long-term progress, In Defense of Monopoly defies conventional assumptions to show readers why an economic system's failure to efficiently allocate its resources is actually a necessary precondition for maximizing the system's long-term performance: the perfectly fluid, competitive economy idealized by most economists is decidedly inferior to one characterized by market entry and exit restrictions or costs. An economy is not a board game in which players compete for a limited number of properties, nor is it much like the kind of blackboard games that economists use to develop their monopoly models. As McKenzie and Lee demonstrate, the creation of goods and services in the real world requires not only competition but the prospect of gains beyond a normal competitive rate of return.

Arts Council Immortals by Kevin Kiely (4 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

Arts Council Immortals is a satire in the blockbuster genre using real names and events. During four decades -- 1980-2020 the arts council in 70 Merrion Square, Dublin received government grants totalling over 1.6 billion. Their worst kept secrets are the hierarchy, careerism, imposition of 'arts policy' and fear in controlling the national arts-scene by absolute power. A Haughey-esque group with the bogus name 'aosdána' infiltrated the council in the 1980s. This 'ace gang' were self-elected to siphon euro-millions for themselves while being nowhere enshrined in any law or statutory instrument. The admin-staff, board and insiders absorb excessive percentages of the annual grants in salaries, expenses, and perks according to the council's politburo structures devoid of democratic principles. The council 'declares' financial data annually in reports, including artspeak and brochure rhetoric. The financial data relates to the cash flow in denominations from millions to thousands disguised in elementary accountancy. The arts council mechanism of 'Declared Interest' is executed by dictatorial illuminati dispensing grant monies through covert networking within their loyal cliques. Arts Council Immortals foregrounds obvious solutions for an institution which is unquantifiable, non-measurable, out of control in psychopathology, and has become a Khmer Rouge Kulchur Cult. Council reports from 1951-2020 are presented in excerpts with photographs and cash flow statements, as well as personal testimonies from 'insiders' commenting on the corruption.

She handed him one of the dildos and ordered Joanne to lay down in front of him so he could fuck her with the dildo. They obeyed. Seth was pounding away at Joanne with the dildo and she was writhing in pleasure. Renae was hot and she had to do something about it, so she hiked up her skirt and straddled Joanne's face, removed her gag and pressed her wet crotch against Joanne. Her tongue darted in and out of Renae; flicking her clit with each movement. The scent of Renae's freshly washed crotch covered Joanne's face. Joanne had never tasted another woman and apparently, it was enormously satisfying to her. Seth was still pounding away at at her with the dildo and out of nowhere, Joanne screamed, Renae's name but was muffled by Renae's crotch.

DOMINATE - How Psychopaths Think, Act and Succeed by C.K. Murray (17 Reviews)    Price verified 38 minutes ago

How do Psychopaths Do it? From the most basic, superficial interactions, to the deepest, most earnest confessions of human emotion, psychopaths are the masters. They know what to say, how to say it, and when to do it. They can take the honest feelings of others and warp them. They can take the good-natured words, actions, and attitudes of 'normal' people... and destroy them. But how do they do it? Everywhere you look, a psychopath lurks. Some are notorious serial killers, determined to torture the mind and body of the innocent. But others--most others--are not nearly so infamous. Many psychopaths are masters of business leadership. Many have reached pinnacles of corporate success, disguising their mental illness behind the facade of strong women and alpha males. Truth be told, psychopaths are nothing like the rest of us. They wear our clothes, our masks, our gestures and our facial expressions. But they are not one of us. They are chameleons, impostors, charlatans. They slide into society, winning us over with their charisma, climbing to positions of power, earning love, lust and trust at every conceivable turn. They are everywhere doing everything--and hellbent on continuing. If you struggle to understand how psychopaths succeed while others fall to the wayside, you aren't alone. Despite their sickening pathology, psychopaths have something to teach us. Their lessons are ingrained in the very fibers of our being, the psychology of our survival. And somewhere, deep inside those dark corners of the human mind, the truth is hiding. It's time to shine a light in the dark...

Why pay more? The best classics at the best price and for charitable purposes. "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a psychological masterpiece that delves into the tormented mind of Rodion Raskolnikov. The novel follows Raskolnikov, a destitute student in St. Petersburg, who is consumed by poverty and an intellectual theory that justifies the actions of extraordinary individuals. Driven by this ideology, he commits a premeditated murder, hoping to improve his financial situation and prove his supposed superiority. However, the act sets off a tumultuous chain of events as Raskolnikov grapples with guilt, paranoia, and the relentless pursuit of justice by the police. Against the gritty backdrop of St. Petersburg, the narrative explores themes of morality, redemption, and the inherent conflict between societal norms and individual conscience. As Raskolnikov wrestles with the consequences of his crime, the novel unfolds as a profound exploration of the human psyche and the complex interplay between sin and atonement.

"... a solid and satisfying follow-on to the unique Volume 1... ""... these volumes have history and light science fiction set in an alternative, dystopian existence brought on by humanity's chase for a quick nuclear solution to world war II.""... Feynman and Boyd finally come together. Good read. There better be a volume three coming. "- GoodreadsSitting alone in his truck, Richard Feynman watches the Trinity Test fail. A year later, months after the celebrations that follow the end of World War Two, Lottie Boyd drifts alone on the Atlantic with a sniper rifle over her lap, one of the few to have escaped the Silent Zones.The fear that a large scale nuclear event would kick off a chain reaction of much more stable elements going into a fisson-state, burning the planet away, was real in the formative years of atomic testing. In Feynman and Boyd, the reverse occurs. The Trinity test fails due to a previously unidentified counter-reaction, where something in the natural world snuffs out combustion. The dusty by-product of this reaction, nicknamed "Deaden," is found to stabilize any combustible form, rendering weapons useless. The Manhattan Project quickly becomes a facility for creating Deaden. It is this anti-weapon that wins World War II. Within weeks of discovering Deaden, and using controlled reactions to manufacture it, it's then discovered that Deaden eventually also stops cellular combustion, killing every surrounding living thing. These areas are the Silent Zones. Despite this, manufacturing keeps being developed, and a massive, singular Silent Zone befalls most of the world, killing most living things in it's grip.

When disaster strikes unexpectedly, Sephora finds that she needs answers. Her desires bring her right back to the time and place of the life-changing event. It happened during the summer after Sephora's sophomore year of high school. She and her brother Isaiah had been making the most of their season passes to the Wild World theme park down the road. It was a summer of excitement and some bonding between two siblings who pretty much ignored each other at school during the past year. Then suddenly an all-important bolt gave way at an inopportune time during a ride they had been enjoying. Sephora woke in the hospital to discover that her injuries were minor compared to what others had been put through. Her life had changed in the blink of an eye and she wasn't the slightest bit ready. She especially wasn't ready for all those sympathetic glances and whispers from everyone when she returned to school at the start of her junior year. Something amazing happened however when she returned to the park toward the end of the season. She recalled that on the day of that life-changing event, an odd man had given her a "Lifetime Pass" shortly after they arrived in the park. That pass had now started giving her access to places and things that made no sense to her.

Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution by Michael Allen Meeropol (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral repudiation of President Bush in 1992, followed by a repudiation of President Clinton in the 1994 Congressional elections. The Clinton administration made a half-hearted attempt to reverse the Reagan Revolution in economic policy, but ultimately surrendered to the Republican Congressional majority in 1996 when Clinton promised to balance the budget by 2000 and signed the welfare reform bill. The rapid growth of the economy in 1997 caused surprisingly high government revenues, a dramatic fall in the federal budget deficit, and a brief euphoria evident in an almost uncontrollable stock market boom. Finally, Meeropol argues powerfully that the next recession, certain to come before the end of 1999, will turn the predicted path to budget balance and millennial prosperity into a painful joke on the hubris of public policymakers. Accessibly written as a work of recent history and public policy as much as economics, this book is intended for all Americans interested in issues of economic ...

In his sleepy haze he thought back to the previous night. He had been going to see his sister. He remembered leaving the house, then some weird visions; vampires and bats and the quarry. He remembered the bat turning into a man. A VAMPIRE. The vampire had snapped his neck. Oh God. He gasped and sat up straight, opening his eyes as he did. He was alone in the woods. He had no idea where or how he'd gotten there. Oh, my throat. He really needed a drink. Looking about he saw trees in every direction. It was daytime but only a little light shone through the branches, even though many leaves littered the forest floor. It must be early morning.

Crossroad Reviews When Bernard Fitzpatrick drowns in a river close to his home, the village mourns a tragic accident... and amateur sleuth Eve Mallow is on the case. Obituary writer Eve is looking forward to her new assignment, as well as spending a few days in the sweet little village of Saxford St Peter, walking the country lanes with her beloved dachshund Gus. But it turns out that it's Bernard's death that she'll need to investigate, not his life. On the day she arrives, news breaks that the world-famous cellist was the victim of a grisly murder. Could this quaint English village be hiding a dark secret? As Eve starts to interview Bernard's friends and colleagues, she finds that he'd ruffled more than a few feathers. In fact, from the landlords of the Cross Keys Inn to his own seemingly devoted secretary, there's barely a person in town who doesn't have some reason to hate him... is one of the friendly villagers really a cold-blooded killer? Eve hoped Saxford St Peter would be the perfect escape from her busy city life. But there is darkness even in the most sunlit of settings. And when a second body is found, Eve realises she's spoken to every single suspect. Her notebook contains all the clues she needs.

A Second Chance: A Daring Tale of High Adventure by Mark Stephen Taylor (Createspace) (7 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

*Note: This book is also available in paperback under this 1984 title, and also under the new title of, 'The Sun, The Glass, and The Leaning Rock': The Secret of the Lost Dutchman's Gold.'A SECOND CHANCE' is a thrilling story of high adventure, of friendships, of romance, of loyalties and betrayals, and of great personal danger in the lives of ordinary people. This tale combines a tricolor of excitement, yielding the grand adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' the enchantment and humor of 'Romancing the Stone,' and the suspenseful who-done-it of Sherlock Holmes -- hang on tight! The story opens in the year 1984, but centers on the 1924 discovery of the 'Lost Dutchman's Mine' in Arizona, the inevitable misfortune of its discoverer, and the strange fate of the loot itself. A treasure map, an unusual necklace, and a simple nursery rhyme set the stage for double murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and unrelenting drama in this tale of the high desert.An unemployed ex-cop and his two friends become entwined in this adventure-mystery, which takes the reader from Boston to Arizona, from Ohio to California, and finally into the harsh, Nevada desert, where the good guys meet the bad guys in a final, head-on confrontation. Both want to unlock the treasure's secret -- 'the sun, the glass, and the leaning rock, tell you when it's four o' clock.' If you're ready to jump out of an airplane on a foggy night, hopefully land unscathed in rugged terrain, repel from a high cliff on a short rope, take an eerie night stroll across miles of barren desert, find your way through an unyielding sandstorm, escape a deadly confrontation with rattlesnakes, pass through the turbulent waters of a flash flood, leap from a high-rolling flatcar on a train ride to terror, and in the meantime solve all the 'who-done-it' before the astonishing climax -- then you are more than welcome to the millions in gold that lay hidden within a dark, abandoned void, somewhere near Ely, Nevada.

Feynman & Boyd: Volume 1 : Manhattan by J.C.S. Wilson (12 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"This was a spectacular first book of the year! An alternate ending to WWII leads to high seas survival, a desert mystery and a quirky scientist's take on the mayhem... " - Goodreads "... a mix of science fiction, second world war history and of course, a post-catastrophe dystopian world. Unique, thought provoking and eminently readable." - GoodreadsSitting alone in his truck, Richard Feynman watches the Trinity Test fail. A year later, months after the celebrations that follow the end of World War Two, Lottie Boyd drifts alone on the Atlantic with a sniper rifle over her lap, one of the few to have escaped the Silent Zones.The fear that a large scale nuclear event would kick off a chain reaction of much more stable elements going into a fisson-state, burning the planet away, was real in the formative years of atomic testing. In Feynman and Boyd, the reverse occurs. The Trinity test fails due to a previously unidentified counter-reaction, where something in the natural world snuffs out combustion. The dusty by-product of this reaction, nicknamed "Deaden," is found to stabilize any combustible form, rendering weapons useless. The Manhattan Project quickly becomes a facility for creating Deaden. It is this anti-weapon that wins World War II. Within weeks of discovering Deaden, and using controlled reactions to manufacture it, it's then discovered that Deaden eventually also stops cellular combustion, killing every surrounding living thing. These areas are the Silent Zones. Despite this, manufacturing keeps being developed, and a massive, singular Silent Zone befalls most of the world, killing most living things in it's grip. Most.Lottie Boyd is in her twenties, a chronically ill woman whose illness has made her immune to the suffocation of Deaden. She has struck out for warmer climate after everyone and everything she has ever known has been killed. She sails on her father's sailboat, the Slocum, a replica of Joshua Slocum's Spray.

Hacking the Academy: New Approaches to Scholarship and Teaching from Digital Humanities by Daniel J. Cohen (44 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

On May 21, 2010, Daniel J. Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt posted the following provocative questions online: "Can an algorithm edit a journal? Can a library exist without books? Can students build and manage their own learning management platforms? Can a conference be held without a program? Can Twitter replace a scholarly society?" As recently as the mid-2000s, questions like these would have been unthinkable. But today serious scholars are asking whether the institutions of the academy as they have existed for decades, even centuries, aren't becoming obsolete. Every aspect of scholarly infrastructure is being questioned, and even more importantly, being hacked. Sympathetic scholars of traditionally disparate disciplines are canceling their association memberships and building their own networks on Facebook and Twitter. Journals are being compiled automatically from self-published blog posts. Newly minted PhDs are forgoing the tenure track for alternative academic careers that blur the lines between research, teaching, and service. Graduate students are looking beyond the categories of the traditional CV and building expansive professional identities and popular followings through social media. Educational technologists are "punking" established technology vendors by rolling out their own open source infrastructure. Here, in Hacking the Academy, Daniel J. Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt have gathered a sampling of the answers to their initial questions from scores of engaged academics who care deeply about higher education. These are the responses from a wide array of scholars, presenting their thoughts and approaches with a vibrant intensity, as they explore and contribute to ongoing efforts to rebuild scholarly infrastructure for a new millennium.
