Book Description
From schoolboy author, Eric Richardson, comes The Demonfall, a collection of 3 books including the last and concluding chapter in the trilogy – The Hordes of Rakshar. Decimated by the horrors of The Medtak Bridge, the remnants of the band of heroes which set out to save the land of Richareme from the tyranny of evil Lord Ladracsin have been scattered along the banks of the mighty Medtak river. To resurrect their quest, they will need to draw on magical forces, both good and evil; only then can they hope to confront Ladracsin, his vampiric servant Thomz, and defeat The Hordes of Rakshar. Can they reach the malevolent city of Rakshar? Can they summon the power to defeat Ladracsin? How much must they sacrifice to complete their quest? . . . This 3 book volume brings together all 3 episodes in The Demonfall trilogy – The Brink of Chaos, The Medtak Curse and The Hordes of Rakshar – and reflects the development of author Eric Richardson from 12 year old debut novelist to 18 year old veteran of 3 published books. A non-stop kaleidoscope of blood-spattered action and magical warfare, a fantastic tale of betrayal, resurrection and redemption, Eric has combined all of these in a fi ttingly dramatic conclusion to the Rakshar adventures.

Campfire Chronicles
Author: Ann White Lombardi
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462029728
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Ann White Lombardis literary endeavor, Campfire Chronicles, follows the travels of Alva, a nearly two hundred and four year old woman, with her quest to return to the sparkling waters of her birth. Her harrowing and heartwarming journey with a small group of strangers, leads them into the alien society of the future and plays a part in their destiny. With the premise that the more things change, the more things stay the same, this science-fiction fantasy is written with attentive descriptions that allow the reader to travel along on the journey. There was a silence in the air that felt crushing. Amidst the soundless circle were all of the faint yet distinct noises; the bird in the bushes hopping from twig to twig, the sound of a small animal scurrying through the dried grasses, the babbling of the nearby brook as the cold, fresh water tumbled over the smooth stones, the sound of tree toads singing in the distant swamp, and the crackling of wood in the fire pit as the flames came to life. All of these sounds set the stage for the evenings storyteller, Alva.

Contracting and Contract Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Author: Martin Ebers
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509950699
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
This book provides original, diverse, and timely insights into the nature, scope, and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and natural language processing, in relation to contracting practices and contract law. The chapters feature unique, critical, and in-depth analysis of a range of topical issues, including how the use of AI in contracting affects key principles of contract law (from formation to remedies), the implications for autonomy, consent, and information asymmetries in contracting, and how AI is shaping contracting practices and the laws relating to specific types of contracts and sectors. The contributors represent an interdisciplinary team of lawyers, computer scientists, economists, political scientists, and linguists from academia, legal practice, policy, and the technology sector. The chapters not only engage with salient theories from different disciplines, but also examine current and potential real-world applications and implications of AI in contracting and explore feasible legal, policy, and technological responses to address the challenges presented by AI in this field. The book covers major common and civil law jurisdictions, including the EU, Italy, Germany, UK, US, and China. It should be read by anyone interested in the complex and fast-evolving relationship between AI, contract law, and related areas of law such as business, commercial, consumer, competition, and data protection laws.
