Ryan Carter has spent his entire life living in the shadows, partially by choice, but also by necessity. At least, that’s what he tells himself. As a shadow manipulator who’s reluctant to use his powers too openly, Ryan is scraping by delivering pizzas in New Avalon’s industrial underbelly. He’s seen what happens to people with relatively minor powers like him who get noticed by the teams, corporations, or criminal factions. They end up owned, imprisoned, or dead. But when a mysterious woman with her own abilities and seemingly unlimited resources makes him an offer he can’t refuse…

Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration that has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public, despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma.

In Reconnecting to the Source he unpacks the science behind spiritual experience, investigating the ways in which we can access realms of experience beyond the everyday. It is in these moments, when our conscious minds are in contact or perhaps even overridden by our unconscious selves, that we can explore the depths of spiritual meaning. In addition to a foreword by Deepak Chopra, the book includes new, never before published contributions from a long list of well-known writers and public figures.

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

Rapid change defines the world around us, requiring a more effective type of organization. New discoveries change our understanding of how the world works, and Margaret J. Wheatley shows us how the “new science” can lead to a powerful new view of the business world. Our world has become nonlinear and filled with constant transition, and this new understanding can be applied to the way we organize work, people, and our lives. Wheatley invites us to transform our way of thinking and adapt ourselves—and our companies—to the 21st century by offering a new way of thinking.

The reason human beings are the dominant animal on this planet is nothing to do with their strength or ability to fight. An elephant is stronger, a cheetah is faster but mankind's ability to communicate is second to none and the true secret to our success. We all have this 'god like' ability to communicate precisely what we want but some are more equal than others. It is no coincidence that the world's top salesmen, politicians and hypnotists all use very similar language.

All man. All machine. And the only one who can keep her safe. For several years, Ezra has combatted android crime and discrimination in the Artificial Crime Unit. Guarded and mistrustful of human beings, the bionic detective isn’t thrilled when he’s sidelined from a case after a terrorist attack on a local museum. Instead, he must guard Katrina Carson, the sweetheart of the Humanity First anti-android organization. Protecting her should be an easy assignment. But there’s a chemistry between them that shouldn’t exist, and in forced proximity, it’s hard to ignore.

I killed four people. At least, that's what the jury decided. The night my family's curse detonated, it shattered every future I had planned—college, medical school, a life that made sense. Instead, I got eighteen months in prison and a felony record that won't let me forget. Now I work at a junkyard-adjacent coffee shop and train under Colin McCool—the most dangerous druid in Texas—learning to control the power that nearly destroyed me. Because magic answers to will—and mine has already failed once. So I'm trying to stay invisible, keeping my nose clean while I get my life back on track.

The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.
