Book Description
At the end of the 21st century rising oceans and advancing deserts crowd survivors into the New North. There, the all-powerful Aztec Conglomerates is on the cusp of the greatest technological upgrade in history. They promise hope and they will stop at nothing to see it launched while there are those that will die to stop what they believe is humanity's greatest threat. When Aztec's lead scientist behind the Upgrade disappears after the murder of his family, four people, four stories, will collide: A homeless man finds what everyone is desperately searching for. And it's a heavy burden. Will he give up the little he has left to protect it? An ex-cop is promised his freedom if he finds a missing scientist. But he must choose - find and deliver his target to Aztec or save the woman he loves. A psychologist by day and terrorist by night is torn between her desire for revenge and doing what's right by the people she's sworn to protect. The ancient chairman of Aztec is dying and he's invested everything into the Upgrade. But this salvation is becoming ever unstable and dangerous. Will his ego and his desperation push him to gamble everything? Autumn's End is a chilling and fast-paced, scifi dystopian thriller of a world on the brink. Will the Upgrade signal humanity's next evolution, or will it be our final tool?

Book Description
I was at the top of my game until reality hit in a way I had never imagined, forcing me to face the living hell that had become my life. The ghosts and demons that once filled the pages of my bestselling novels now flooded my mind, consuming my thoughts both day and night. She was hauntingly beautiful, and I was drawn to her in the most unimaginable way. She was my breath when I had stopped breathing. She was my hope when I was drowning in despair. She was my muse when I had lost all motivation. But nothing good lasted-not in my world anyway. Like the last days of autumn when the beautiful leaves are stripped away by the long winter days, lurking in the distance; her caring ways and gentle soul were only temporary. Soon it would be taken from me, leaving my heart as barren as those once majestic trees. But unlike those autumn days, she remained, giving me the courage to face the cold, dark winter of my past while uncovering secrets and lies that could be the premise of a bestseller. Only, this wasn't fiction, this was my reality-a reality I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Theophrastus of Eresus: On Winds
Author: Robert Mayhew
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004351833
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In Theophrastus of Eresus: On Winds, Robert Mayhew provides a critical edition of the Greek text with English translation and commentary on the sole Peripatetic treatise devoted specifically to winds, by Aristotle’s successor in the Lyceum. This is the first edition of this text to appear in over forty years, and the first ever to make use not only of the twelve medieval manuscripts but also of the Oxyrhynchus papyrus fragment of this work (first published in 1986). The lengthy commentary attempts to explain this difficult (and often corrupt) text and its relationship to Aristotle’s meteorological theory and scientific methodology.

Assessing Water Rights in China
Author: Yahua Wang
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 981105083X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
This book presents a model for describing the hierarchical concept of China’s water rights structure, one which takes into account pioneering theories on natural resources and environmental institutional economics. It highlights the basic theory of water rights, with a view to helping Chinese policymakers acquire a deeper understanding of water rights and the need for a reform program in the long-term development of water-poor China. To do so, it draws on three main sources: Cheung SNS’s “Economic Explanation”, Douglas C. North’s “New Economic History” and Ray Huang’s “Macro History”. The book makes two essential contributions: it elaborates the hierarchical water governance structure in China, which originated in the Qin Dynasty that unified the country 2000 years ago and has been employed without interruption ever since; further, it constructs a choice model for water governance structures and advances the logic of making structural choices with minimum transaction costs under constraint conditions, while also explaining the inherent nature of China’s choice for the hierarchical structure from the perspectives of management cost and cooperation cost. As such, the book enriches and builds on the theories of the “water governance” school represented by Karl Marx, Karl Wittfogel and Ray Huang, laying the foundation for the further study of water rights theory in contemporary China.
