Pages : 258
Book Description
The classic guide to working from home and why we should embrace a virtual office, from the bestselling authors of Rework “A paradigm-smashing, compulsively readable case for a radically remote workplace.”—Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Does working from home—or anywhere else but the office—make sense? In Remote, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work’s challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working “off-site” far outweigh the drawbacks. In the past decade, the “under one roof” model of conducting work has been steadily declining, owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces. Today the new paradigm is “move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace.” Companies see advantages in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves their ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. But what about the workers? Jason and David point out that remote work means working at the best job (not just one that is nearby) and achieving a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity. And those are just some of the perks to be gained from leaving the office behind. Remote reveals a multitude of other benefits, along with in-the-trenches tips for easing your way out of the office door where you control how your workday will unfold. Whether you’re a manager fretting over how to manage workers who “want out” or a worker who wants to achieve a lifestyle upgrade while still being a top performer professionally, this book is your indispensable guide.

He's not a double agent.Everyone just thinks he is.Agent Six of Hearts, a sixteen-year-old superhuman, is in serious trouble. The Deck -- the team of special agents who employ him -- thinks he's gone rogue. Kyntak, his twin brother, has been captured by an unknown enemy. And a very strange and lethal girl is shadowing Six's every move.Who can Six trust? The Queen of Spades is after him. The King of Hearts seems unable to help. And the rest of the Deck is being turned against him.There's only one answer: Six must go solo. He must treat everyone as a threat -- and he must grab every opportunity he has to track down Kyntak, even when they come from some potentially deadly sources.As he did in The Lab, author Jack Heath starts with a bang and doesn't ever slow down as he gives us an agent on the brink of destruction and the edge of his life.

Pages : 300
Book Description
The machines brought society to its knees. Now, the last remaining humans fight for survival--and to take back what's theirs. Junior, a robotics expert, tinkers quietly underground. With dozens of machine kills under his belt, he knows the enemy inside and out. Alpha0verride, a reclusive black hat hacker, uses the skills acquired over a life of shady activity to outwit the hyper-intelligent machines swarming in on her. Brick, a special forces operator and one of the few Pentagon survivors, fights his inner demons to embark on the most important mission of his life. Together they are humanity's last, best hope--if they can only find each other in time. From the Author First, I brought you the cult classic, Day by Day Armageddon, where we both journeyed alongside the unnamed survivor as he trekked across the bleak landscapes of the undead. Some time after the Great Recession, I strived to accurately depict the bedlam of a post-grid down United States in Tomorrow War--An alternate timeline where a jack boot on the throat of humanity is only one black swan event away. Now, after years of world building, writing and editing in my attic, Trilobyte is ready for you, my beloved reader. Some might call it a warning of what is to come if we aren't careful with our creations. Trilobyte is the most terrifying thing I have ever written. They are closer than you think. They will be trillions. They will come for you. Lock your doors and load those rail guns. The machines are here.

Book Description
An alien artifact turns a young girl into Death's adopted daughter in Remote Control, a thrilling sci-fi tale of community and female empowerment from Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Nnedi Okorafor “She’s the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own.” The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she would be known as Sankofa—a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past. Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks—alone, except for her fox companion—searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers. But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion? Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award (audiobook version).

Book Description
Living The Remote Dream details my journey to make an impact in the world without being constrained by the concept of a conventional workplace. I hope this guide will enable more of us to travel the world, spend more time with our families, and be even more productive. The daily commute has become an ingrained part of modern society, largely defined by what was necessary to communicate and share ideas decades ago. In the Internet age, the globe is far smaller. Connectivity is abundant, and collaborating with colleagues sitting in different continents is no longer the challenge it once was. As the walls of communication have been shattered by e-mail, video chats and telepresence solutions, it's time that we redirect the resources we're spending on our 9 to 5 treks. This book provides step-by-step guidance in planning for a remote transition, tackling the topic with your boss, and working to ensure that you're even more productive when left to define your own office. You'll learn what's in my arsenal of gadgetry, and which tools I lean on most to hone my focus and productivity. You'll understand that getting away from the grind is oftentimes what is needed to find the clarity you've been seeking. You'll also learn a little about me, my journey through the halcyon years of tech blogging, and what careers are best suited for remote working arrangements. Living The Remote Dream delivers practical, actionable advice on how to pivot your career into a remote one. For those who long for more freedom and flexibility - and are willing to work for it - this guide is for you.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Polar Remote Sensing is a two-volume work providing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary discussion of the applications of satellite sensing. Volume 2 focuses on the ice sheets, icebergs, and interactions between ice sheets and the atmosphere and ocean. It contains information about the applications of satellite remote sensing in all relevant polar related disciplines, including glaciology, meteorology, climate and radiation balance and oceanogaraphy. It also provides a brief review of the state-of-the-art of each discipline, including current issues and questions. Various passive and active remote sensor types are discussed, and the book then concentrates on specific geophysical applications. Its interdisciplinary approach means that major advances and publications are highlighted. Polar Remote Sensing: Ice Sheets summarizes fundamental principles of detectors, imaging and geophysical product retrieval includes a chapter on the important new field of satellite synthetic-aperture radar interferometry is a "one stop shop" for polar remote sensing information contains significant new information on the Earth's polar regions describes sophisticated groundbased remote sensing applications with specific reference to their use in polar regions.
