Blindsight
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429955198
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

League of Legends Jungle Mastery
Author: St Petr
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781540798947
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
As a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers that cares deeply about the state of League of Legends, I had enough of the lack of high quality educational material about the game. So about a year ago, I used my experience as a real life teacher and high elo player and wrote what turned out to be the best selling ebook about improving at League of Legends on Amazon for Season 6 - 30 Days to Diamond. By the way - an improved, enriched and even more detailed version for Season 7 is out and it's called 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond. Ever since the book delivered on the results it promised, I've received dozens of requests from players asking me to write separate, very detailed books about the roles of ADC, Mid lane, Top lane and Jungle that would be adapted for Season 7. Due to the support I got from my dear readers, I felt motivated to roll up my sleeves and produce the best of my work as a results-oriented League of Legends coach. After countless hours of hard work, I am proud to announce that each of the books people wanted me to write is now available to anyone that is open to learning and is willing to get to that next level as a player in their favorite role. So why is League of Legends Jungle Mastery worth your time? If you are still paying attention, I am assuming you are an ambitious, competitive person with a winner's mindset that is interested in acquiring all the necessary game knowledge that will help you improve massively as a Jungle main. Here is a list of the contributions that this book will make towards your current level of game knowledge: - You will learn the differences between the bad, average and exceptionally good Junglers. In other words, all the areas which you need to target to improve massively. - You will learn the thought process of the high elo Jungler - the main component to being effective in this role. - You will learn the optimal Jungler Runes, Masteries and Summoner Spells setup for Season 7. - You will learn who the top Junglers for Season 7 are and why. - You will learn all you need to know about the Season 7 Jungle objectives. - You will know the most optimal Jungle clear paths that provide you with the most advantages, and when to opt for each one. - You will learn how to counterjungle in Season 7 and completely stomp the enemy Jungler. - You will learn how to itemize optimally as a Jungler in Season 7. This includes instructions on what to buy as starting items, on your first back (depending on how much gold you have), and as the game progresses. - You will learn how to develop amazing map awareness. - You will learn how to make the right decisions as to which lanes you should gank and which ones you should ignore. - You will learn how to properly execute ganks and what to do after that. - You will also learn how to snowball a lane. - There also are a ton of general game knowledge golden nuggets thrown all throughout the book to help you in your journey further. I know this is a big list of things and to some of you it might seem intimidating, but I promise you that once you learn and apply the information in this book in your own gameplay, you will transform completely as a player. Are you excited? Best of luck on the Summoner's Rift!

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
An updated and expanded edition of the international bestseller Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details that every business leader, parent, and teacher should know — for instance, that physical activity helps to get your brain working at its best. How do we learn? What do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multitasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget — and so important to repeat new information? In Brain Rules, Dr John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in brain science, and how it can influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule — what scientists know for sure about how our brains work — and offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. In this expanded edition — which includes additional information on the brain rules and a new chapter on music — you will discover how every brain is wired differently, why memories are volatile, and how stress and sleep can influence learning. By the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works — and how to get the most out of it.

The Blender Girl
Author: Tess Masters
Publisher: Ten Speed Press
ISBN: 1607746433
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The debut cookbook from the powerhouse blogger behind theblendergirl.com, featuring 100 gluten-free, vegan recipes for smoothies, meals, and more made quickly and easily in a blender. What’s your perfect blend? On her wildly popular recipe blog, Tess Masters—aka, The Blender Girl—shares easy plant-based recipes that anyone can whip up fast in a blender. Tess’s lively, down-to-earth approach has attracted legions of fans looking for quick and fun ways to prepare healthy food. In The Blender Girl, Tess’s much-anticipated debut cookbook, she offers 100 whole-food recipes that are gluten-free and vegan, and rely on natural flavors and sweeteners. Many are also raw and nut-, soy-, corn-, and sugar-free. Smoothies, soups, and spreads are a given in a blender cookbook, but this surprisingly versatile collection also includes appetizers, salads, and main dishes with a blended component, like Fresh Spring Rolls with Orange-Almond Sauce, Twisted Caesar Pleaser, Spicy Chickpea Burgers with Portobello Buns and Greens, and I-Love-Veggies! Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up. Details on the benefits of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients round out this nutrient-dense guide. But you don’t have to understand the science of good nutrition to run with The Blender Girl—all you need is a blender and a sense of adventure. So dust off your machine and get ready to find your perfect blend.
