Book Description
Our world is about to change. In Digital Destiny: How the New Age of Data Will Change the Way We Live, Work, and Communicate, Shawn DuBravac, chief economist and senior director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), argues that the groundswell of digital ownership unfolding in our lives signals the beginning of a new era for humanity. Beyond just hardware acquisition, the next decade will be defined by an all-digital lifestyle and the “Internet of Everything”—where everything, from the dishwasher to the wristwatch, is not only online, but acquiring, analyzing, and utilizing the data that surrounds us. But what does this mean in practice? It means that some of mankind’s most pressing problems, such as hunger, disease, and security, will finally have a solution. It means that the rise of driverless cars could save thousands of American lives each year, and perhaps hundreds of thousands more around the planet. It means a departure from millennia-old practices, such as the need for urban centers. It means that massive inefficiencies, such as the supply chains in Africa allowing food to rot before it can be fed to the hungry, can be overcome. It means that individuals will have more freedom in action, work, health, and pursuits than ever before.

Pages : 240
Book Description
The Secret of Zephyria In the vastness of the cosmos, where stars dance their eternal waltz and planets spin in silent orbits, lies a world forgotten by time. Zephyria, a name that whispers ancient secrets, an echo of civilizations lost in the dust of eons. Under the unrelenting scrutiny of two moons, their silvery light bathing the dunes in a spectral glow, stands a monument to the unknown. The Great Pyramid, an obsidian colossus that defies human comprehension, rises like a scar upon the planet's face, an enigma carved in the very stone of mystery. For countless millennia, this slumbering titan remained silent, guardian of unfathomable secrets under a star-studded firmament. The first colonists, lured by rumors of unimaginable riches, arrived on its barren shores with eyes filled with greed and hearts brimming with hope. They sought Luminium, a mineral whose power, it was said, could fuel their ships and extend their fleeting lives beyond the limits imposed by nature. But the pyramid, impervious to their efforts, remained sealed. Its dark chambers, labyrinths of alien wisdom, resisted every attempt at desecration. The Great Pyramid waited, patient as the mountains, eternal as the stars, for the chosen one to arrive. And then, like a meteor piercing the veil of night, came Elara Dawnbringer. Young, impetuous, with a thirst for knowledge that rivaled the vastness of the cosmos, Elara was an enigma herself. She was not driven by earthly riches or the promises of power that seduced her companions. Her heart beat to the rhythm of a higher symphony: the pursuit of knowledge, the yearning to decipher the mysteries that the universe jealously guarded. And it was on the sands of Zephyria, under the imposing shadow of the Great Pyramid, that she found her destiny written in the stars.

Destiny's Bride

Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310830087
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Even while Randall was speaking, it was Pietro I saw, the tenderness in his dark eyes looking at me, the caress in his soft voice. In Randall's voice there was not a shred of emotion; nor was there any in his expression. How should I respond? What should I say? I knew this was the hardest decision I would ever have to make. Either choice would demand a different price. Was I prepared to pay it? Was love enough in the one to bridge all the other differences of nationality, religion, and heritage? Was family loyalty, future security enough to decide for the other? What was my destiny? The heroine of Destiny's Bride is Druscilla Montrose, who first meets Randall Bondurant when she is a bridesmaid at his wedding to her cousin Alair Chance. Eight years later, after Alair's mysterious death, they meet again in a chance encounter. This leads to a strange series of events in which Druscilla debates, then accepts the position offered her by Alair's widower. Against all advice, Dru becomes governess to her two motherless little cousins, a difficult decision because of the suspicions and accusations of family and friends that Randall might have been responsible for his wife's death. She travels with the family to Italy. Here against the romantic background of nineteenth-century Europe, Druscilla receives two unexpected offers: One is a love that will mean giving up her heritage; the other requires a decision more important than any she has ever had to make before. Dru's choices bring her into conflicts of loyalty, challenges of faith and duty, and threatened danger, as well as romance.
