Book Description
A love story like you've never read before. A tale of love, loss, and ultimate redemption. A journey laced with warring mental health, compulsive addictive tendencies, and desperate attempts for understanding and peace. Eventual self-discovery. Sat in an Edinburgh train station, Lucas recalls meeting Megan, a girl who shines a new light into his dark life, and once again life feels as though it's worth living, but lights are never without their shadows. Transported back through the years, Lucas intimately retells the spiral of falling in love, the ups and downs, their meetings and exclusions, and his path through the thick and thin. Both Megan and Lucas try desperately to escape their inner demons, finding sanctuary in one another, but never entirely. Everyone must face themselves eventually. They meet and break. Push and pull. Fix and fall apart. Through suffering, torment, escape, and ecstasy, can they learn the lesson that will ultimately set them free? I Escape Through You is a stunningly-written debut novel with a beautifully intimate and delicate style that won't be able to help but relate to. Loved by readers all over the world, this is a book that stings, feeling almost like a personal diary entry that you may have written yourself. Reflections you may see yourself in. Touching on all kinds of topics from across modern love, including attachment and mental health, follow Lucas as he recalls his story as he falls in love with Megan, and the realisations and lessons he learns along the way. I Escape Through You is a brilliant story about people, how they connect, how they love, and how that love and connection change over time.

Will you get to the Orwellians before the Wanstein Club get to you? The clock is ticking… Based on the global phenomenon of Escape Rooms, and following on from the international bestseller The Escape Book by Ivan Tapia, this book puts your ingenuity, wit and perseverance to the test with even more fiendish challenges, puzzles, and enigmas that you must solve to thwart the sinister Wanstein Club. Investigative journalist Candela Fuertes is at rock bottom: her fight against Castian Warnes, the head of the powerful and sinister Wanstein Club, has undermined her credibility as a journalist, and meanwhile she suspects Warnes is behind the car accident that put her boss in hospital. Corroded by the thirst for revenge, she decides to turn to the only people who can help her in a cause that seems already lost: the Orwellians, a group of hackers hell bent on revealing the secrets of the rich and famous. In order to get to the Orwellians, you and Candela must follow their trail all over London. The chapters of the book are jumbled up, and to know where to continue reading, you must solve the puzzles, optical illusions, conundrums and anagrams that you find.

Escape from the Ivory Tower
Author: Nancy Baron
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1597269654
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Most scientists and researchers aren’t prepared to talk to the press or to policymakers—or to deal with backlash. Many researchers have the horror stories to prove it. What’s clear, according to Nancy Baron, is that scientists, journalists and public policymakers come from different cultures. They follow different sets of rules, pursue different goals, and speak their own language. To effectively reach journalists and public officials, scientists need to learn new skills and rules of engagement. No matter what your specialty, the keys to success are clear thinking, knowing what you want to say, understanding your audience, and using everyday language to get your main points across. In this practical and entertaining guide to communicating science, Baron explains how to engage your audience and explain why a particular finding matters. She explores how to ace your interview, promote a paper, enter the political fray, and use new media to connect with your audience. The book includes advice from journalists, decision makers, new media experts, bloggers and some of the thousands of scientists who have participated in her communication workshops. Many of the researchers she has worked with have gone on to become well-known spokespeople for science-related issues. Baron and her protégées describe the risks and rewards of “speaking up,” how to deal with criticism, and the link between communications and leadership. The final chapter, ‘Leading the Way’ offers guidance to scientists who want to become agents of change and make your science matter. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned veteran looking to hone your skills, Escape From the Ivory Tower can help make your science understood, appreciated and perhaps acted upon.
