Book Description
A New York Times bestseller and a "Best Thriller of the Year" Winner of the Goncourt Prize and now an international phenomenon, this dizzying, whip-smart novel blends crime, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller as it plumbs the mysteries surrounding a Paris-New York flight. Who would we be if we had made different choices? Told that secret, left that relationship, written that book? We all wonder—the passengers of Air France 006 will find out. In their own way, they were all living double lives when they boarded the plane: Blake, a respectable family man who works as a contract killer. Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who uses his womanizing image to hide that he’s gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys’ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client. Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame. About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange. As it charts the fallout of this logic-defying event, The Anomaly takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House and a top-secret hangar. In Hervé Le Tellier’s most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from “chick lit” to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgänger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most.

Book Description
SEVEN wakes up from cryostasis in a dystopian world where humanity is on the brink of extinction. Humanity has become the bottom of the food chain, as different entities seek to conquer all human life left on the planet. World War III has decimated the earth, and only SEVEN and his cohorts, the Black Unit, can bring balance back to the world. But first, he must go on a quest to find all his team members and then train them before they can attempt to save the world. Standing in their way are powerful androids, extraordinary cyborgs, and gifted mutated humans called brood, who all seek the opportunity of dominating what's left of the world.

Fear, Anomaly, and Uncertainty in the Gospel of Mark
Author: Douglas W. Geyer
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 9780810842021
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Douglas Geyer's illuminating analysis of Mark 4:35-6:56 explains why the Gospel ends as it does in the earliest manuscripts-abruptly, at 16:8, with the words, "for they were afraid." This ending, with women fleeing the empty tomb in "trembling and astonishment," has long been considered "problematic," and, in the several attempts to rewrite it, Mark 16 has become a source of unending mischief. Geyer's work draws on a vast literature of fear, anomaly, terror, and dread in the ancient world to demonstrate that this ending is a consistent, overriding theme of Mark's Gospel. In Mark we see and hear the story of Jesus through the eyes and ears of the Roman world. Geyer brings to bear the literature of that world in a way that helps his readers to understand what Mark is doing and how the story that Mark tells continues to touch his readers and hearers ancient and modern (and "postmodern"). Geyer guides the reader through a vast and uncharted primary literature, demonstrating its relevance for New Testament study. In so doing he clearly proposes a fresh and original understanding of Mark that cuts across many of the critical controversies and renews its purpose and usefulness as "good news"--Gospel--for the terrors and uncertainties of our own time.

Advances in Computer Science for Engineering and Manufacturing
Author: Zhengbing Hu
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031038770
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The book’s general scope covers the latest advances in the development of artificial intelligence systems and their applications in engineering and manufacturing. The book comprises refereed papers presented at the International Symposium on Engineering and Manufacturing (ISEM2021), held in Kyiv, Ukraine, on December 24–26, 2021. Given the rapid development of artificial intelligence systems, the book emphasizes the need for the intensification of training of a growing number of relevant specialists, in particular in engineering and manufacturing, to increase the effectiveness of the creation and diagnosis of appropriate technical solutions. In digital artificial intelligence systems, scientists endeavor to reproduce the innate intellectual abilities of humans and other organisms. In-depth studies of biological and self-organizing systems can provide new approaches to create more and more effective artificial intelligence methods. The topics of the included papers concern thematic materials in the following spheres: mathematics and computer algorithms; analysis of some technical solutions; technological. The book is a compilation of state-of-the-art papers in the field, covering a comprehensive range of subjects that are relevant to business managers and engineering professionals alike. The breadth and depth of these proceedings make them an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers, and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in artificial intelligence systems and their growing applications. Specialists, students, and other groups of people who want to know how artificial intelligence systems can be used in the future will be the target audience for this book.

The Basilica of Saint John Lateran to 1600
Author: L. Bosman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108879535
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 609
Book Description
The Archbasilica of St John Lateran is the world's earliest cathedral. A Constantinian foundation pre-dating St Peter's in the Vatican, it remains the seat of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, to this day. This volume brings together scholars of topography, archaeology, architecture, art history, geophysical survey and liturgy to illuminate this profoundly important building. It takes the story of the site from the early imperial period, when it was occupied by elite housing, through its use as a barracks for the emperor's horse guards to Constantine's revolutionary project and its development over 1300 years. Richly illustrated throughout, this innovative volume includes both broad historical analysis and accessible explanations of the cutting-edge technological approaches to the site that allow us to visualise its original appearance.
