Description:

Milkman is extraordinary. I’ve been reading passages aloud for the pleasure of hearing it. It’s frightening, hilarious, wily and joyous all at the same time. – Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman. But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes ‘interesting’. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous.
Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is the story of inaction with enormous consequences.

The trilogy that began with The Emperor’s Blades and continued in The Providence of Fire reaches its epic conclusion, as war engulfs the Annurian Empire in Brian Staveley’s The Last Mortal Bond
The ancient csestriim are back to finish their purge of humanity; armies march against the capital; leaches, solitary beings who draw power from the natural world to fuel their extraordinary abilities, maneuver on all sides to affect the outcome of the war; and capricious gods walk the earth in human guise with agendas of their own.
But the three imperial siblings at the heart of it all-Valyn, Adare, and Kaden-come to understand that even if they survive the holocaust unleashed on their world, there may be no reconciling their conflicting visions of the future.

Description:

In his #1 New York Times bestseller Memory Man, David Baldacci introduced the extraordinary detective Amos Decker-the man who can forget nothing. Now, Decker returns in a spectacular new thriller . . .

THE LAST MILE
Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution–for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier–when he’s granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime.
Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars’s case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men’s families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth.
The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars–guilty or not–a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now?
But when a member of Decker’s team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger–and more sinister–than just one convicted criminal’s life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.**

How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor.
But Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

Description:

This book engages with the shifting legal terrain of the European Union in light of recent advances in generative Artificial Intelligence. It reflects on the ways in which existing legal frameworks, developed over several decades, are being tested by technologies that operate with increasing autonomy, complexity, and opacity. Rather than treating AI as a singular phenomenon, the volume brings together diverse perspectives to examine how law responds across different domains such as liability, data protection, intellectual property, and digital security.
The contributions draw from a range of legal traditions and critical approaches. Some chapters focus on how rules on defective products must evolve to account for autonomous behaviour. Others explore new forms of labour governance shaped by automated decision-making, as well as privacy concerns that require novel safeguards tailored to the evolving capacities of AI systems.
The book also turns to the field of data protection, observing the ways in which judicial reasoning under the GDPR is adjusting to the demands of machine learning. This is complemented by a reflection on the role of design in ensuring transparency and accountability within digital urban infrastructures.
Copyright law is addressed in a chapter that examines how the rise of AI-generated content unsettles long-standing concepts of authorship, originality, and ownership. It questions whether current intellectual property regimes remain adequate and considers the legal implications of using data as a form of remuneration in digital creative markets.
Consumer protection is examined through a fresh lens, particularly where AI systems influence contracts, choices, or vulnerabilities. The discussion includes early insights into proposals on AI liability and considers the risks facing users in increasingly automated environments. Legal responses to cybercrime and digital surveillance are also discussed, including the place of interception measures and the admissibility of electronic evidence. The broader implications of large-scale language models for digital resilience and public security are critically assessed.
Rather than offering a fixed map, the volume encourages a more dynamic reading of European digital law in the age of AI. It speaks to lawyers, researchers, and institutional actors concerned with how legal orders can hold firm to foundational principles while adjusting to the realities of emerging technologies. Each chapter invites the reader to reflect not only on where law stands, but also on where it may, and should, go next.

Description:

This text combines a compact linear algebra course with a serious dip into various physical applications. It may be used as a primary text for a course in linear algebra or as a supplementary text for courses in applied math, scientific computation, mathematical physics, or engineering.

The text is divided into two parts.

Part 1 comprises a fairly standard presentation of linear algebra. Chapters 1-3 contain the core mathematical concepts typical for an introductory course while Chapter 4 contains numerous "short" applications. Chapter 5 is a repository of standard facts about matrix factorization and quadratic forms together with the "connective tissue" of topics needed for a coherent discussion, including the singular value decomposition, the Jordan normal form, Sylvester’s law of inertia and the Witt theorems. Part I contains around 300 exercises, found throughout the text, and are an integral part of the presentation.

Part 2 features deeper applications. Each of these "large" applications require no more than linear algebra to discuss, though the style and arrangement of results would be challenging to a beginning student and more appropriate for a second or later course. Chapter 6 provides an introduction to the discrete Fourier transform, including the fast Fourier algorithm. Chapter 7 is a thorough introduction to isometries and some of the classical groups, and how these groups have come to be important in physics. Chapter 8 is a fairly detailed look at real algebras and completes a presentation of the classical Lie groups and algebras. Chapter 9 is a careful discussion of tensors on a finite-dimensional vector space, finishing with the Hodge Star operator and the Grassmann algebra. Finally, Chapter 10 gives an introduction to classical mechanics including Noether’s first theorem and emphasizes how the classical Lie groups, discussed in earlier chapters, become important in this setting.

The Chapters of Part 2 are intended to give a sense of the ubiquity, of the indispensable utility, of linear algebra in modern science and mathematics and some feel for way it is actually used in disparate subject areas. Twelve appendices are included. The last seven refer to MATLAB® code which, though not required and rarely mentioned in the text, can be used to augment understanding. For example, fifty-five MATLAB functions implement every tensor operation from Chapter 9. A zipped file of all code is available for download from the author’s website.
