by Susannah Stapleton
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1529065542 | 400 Pages | True ePUB | 4.9 MB
'I couldn't stop reading it . . . a classic of true crime' - Lissa Evans, author of Small Bomb at Dimperley
'A fascinating true crime case study . . . deeply moving' The Times
A gripping, explosive murder mystery by acclaimed true crime writer Susannah Stapleton.
In April 1929, the body of British artist Olive Branson was found submerged in a water tank outside her farmhouse in a picturesque Provence village. Dressed only in a pink shirt and stockings, she had a bullet hole between her eyes and a revolver by her side.
Was it suicide - or murder?
The initial investigation concluded suicide, but under pressure from Olive's family to conduct a murder enquiry, city detective Alexandre Guibbal was brought in to reopen the case.
Examining never-before-seen evidence, acclaimed true crime writer Susannah Stapleton builds a vivid and absorbing picture of an unconventional life and a violent death, and an investigation that shines a bright light on a village simmering with resentments and dangerous rivalries . . .

The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want by Emily M. Bender, Alex Hanna
English | May 13th, 2025 | ISBN: 0063418568 | 288 pages | True EPUB | 1.33 MB
A smart, incisive look at the technologies sold as artificial intelligence, the drawbacks and pitfalls of technology sold under this banner, and why it's crucial to recognize the many ways in which AI hype covers for a small set of power-hungry actors at work and in the world.
Is artificial intelligence going to take over the world? Have big tech scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to put authors, artists, and others out of business? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?
The answer to these questions, linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna make clear, is "no," "they wish," "LOL," and "definitely not." This kind of thinking is a symptom of a phenomenon known as "AI hype." Hype looks and smells fishy: It twists words and helps the rich get richer by justifying data theft, motivating surveillance capitalism, and devaluing human creativity in order to replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. In The AI Con, Bender and Hanna offer a sharp, witty, and wide-ranging take-down of AI hype across its many forms.
Bender and Hanna show you how to spot AI hype, how to deconstruct it, and how to expose the power grabs it aims to hide. Armed with these tools, you will be prepared to push back against AI hype at work, as a consumer in the marketplace, as a skeptical newsreader, and as a citizen holding policymakers to account. Together, Bender and Hanna expose AI hype for what it is: a mask for Big Tech's drive for profit, with little concern for who it affects.

The Arsacids of Rome: Misunderstanding in Roman-Parthian Relations
by Jake Nabel
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0520413067 | 277 Pages | True ePUB | 7 MB
At the beginning of the common era, the two major imperial powers of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East were Rome and Parthia. In this book, Jake Nabel analyzes Roman-Parthian interstate politics by focusing on a group of princes from the Arsacid family-the ruling dynasty of Parthia-who were sent to live at the Roman court. Although Roman authors called these figures "hostages" and scholars have studied them as such, Nabel draws on Iranian and Armenian sources to argue that the Parthians would have seen them as the emperor's foster-children. These divergent perspectives allowed each empire to perceive itself as superior to the other, since the two sides interpreted the exchange of royal children through conflicting cultural frameworks. Moving beyond the paradigm of great powers in conflict, The Arsacids of Rome advances a new vision of interstate relations with misunderstanding at its center.

The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football by Bill Belichick
English | May 6th, 2025 | ISBN: 1668080834 | 304 pages | True EPUB | 1.77 MB
Winning isn't a science. It's an art. And it can be learned.
No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career.
Belichick's philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one.
Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect-it's about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you're weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 13 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does-an approach that sustained him throughout his early career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport.
Belichick's principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you've carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you.
Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history.

The Artistic Object and Its Worlds: Literature and Cinema
by Michael Wood, Delia Ungureanu
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9004732780 | 216 Pages | PDF | 6.9 MB
"The best way of being an artist is not to serve a particular art." The film critic André Bazin believed artists create without boundaries in mind. Literary criticism should be no different. This book is a unique collection that critically reflects on the complex, non-unidirectional, and organic relationship between cinema, literature, photography, and the other arts.
With essays by David Damrosch, Laura Marcus, Ignacio Sánchez Prado, Maria Dabija, and Michael Makarovsky among others, this volume establishes a much needed dialogue between the fields of world literature and world cinema.

The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery: Flourishing as a Neurodivergent Adult
by Sol Smith
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1608689980 | 216 Pages | True ePUB | 1.6 MB
Live Authentically and Function Effectively in All Areas of Your Life
In this first-of-its-kind book, Sol Smith combines current research, his personal experience as a late-diagnosed autistic adult, and lessons learned as an educator to show how you can transcend common mischaracterizations, overcome shame, and gain the skills to flourish. Sol knows that neurodivergent people often feel that nothing they have been taught relates to how they experience the world. To resolve this conflict, they try to change or mask who they are, which can cause isolation, depression, and anxiety. He advises the opposite: Understand yourself, accept yourself, and reduce conflict. Designed to help you peel away the shell of inadequacy and self-blame that often comes with neurodivergence, The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery offers the necessary tools and knowledge to function effectively at home, at work, and in the wider world.

The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles
by Aimee Boorman, Steve Cooper
English | 2025 | ISBN: 141977977X | 288 Pages | True ePUB | 3.17 MB
From Paris Olympics star and legendary gymnast Simone Biles's longtime coach, an insider's look at the making of a champion
With a Foreword by Simone Biles
The Balance is coach Aimee Boorman's inside account of the growth of a transcendent athlete and the tumultuous events-from the dictatorial coaching of Martha Karolyi to the sexual abuse by Larry Nassar-that upended the lives of many girls, including Biles.
Simone Biles is one of the greatest athletes of all time. She's won six all-around world championships and eleven Olympic medals (seven gold). Five gymnastics moves are named after her, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the youngest recipient ever), and at an age when most elite gymnasts have retired, Biles is not just still competing-she's dominating. She's soaring in Paris this summer, bringing home more Olympic gold. She's having so much fun that LA 2028 is not out of the question.
But when coach Aimee Borman met her at a gym in Texas, Simone was just a seven-year-old kid. An exceptionally athletically gifted one, to be sure, but not yet great. That would take time, care, love, and balance.
Boorman helped shape Biles, both pushing her and holding her back, protecting both her mental and physical health. "She's like a second mom to me," writes Biles, and Boorman was the National Team coach in 2016, where the US-and Biles-took home all-around gold.
The Balance combines unprecedented insider perspective on a legend, newsworthy details on gymnastics history, and compelling lessons on coaching, leadership, and development.

The Battle of Jackson, Mississippi: May 14, 1863 by Chris Mackowski
English | August 25th, 2022 | ISBN: 1611216559 | 192 pages | True EPUB | 11.28 MB
"A comprehensive, eminently readable, lavishly illustrated, and historically accurate account" of this important yet overlooked Civil War battle (Civil War News).
Jackson, Mississippi, was the third Confederate state capital to fall to Union forces. When Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant captured the important rail junction in May 1863, however, he did so almost as an afterthought. Drawing on dozens of primary sources, contextualized by the latest scholarship on Grant's Vicksburg campaign, historian Chris Mackowski offers a comprehensive account of this important battle.
General Grant had his eyes set not on Jackson but on Vicksburg, the "Gibraltar of the Confederacy". As he drove through Mississippi, a chance encounter with Confederates at Raymond alerted him to a potential threat massing farther east in Jackson under the leadership of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, one of the Confederacy's most respected field officers. Grant turned on a dime and made for Jackson to confront the growing danger. Yet Johnston, for reasons that have long puzzled historians, was already planning to abandon the vital state capital.

The Beef Taboo in China: Agriculture, Ethics, Sacrifice
by Vincent Goossaert
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0824898478 | 320 Pages | PDF | 9.1 MB
"It will no longer be possible to discuss Chinese civilization without referring to this work, the foundation for a new vision of culture and religiosity in China. Scholars working on the comparative social role of food culture will also find something to draw on here." ―Archives de sciences sociales des religion
"This book repays careful reading on many counts, including its ambitious scope, its wealth of vivifying detail, and its judicious analysis. . . . t should be required reading for all those interested in traditional Chinese society and culture and their modern transformations, as well as those concerned with the history of food taboos in different contexts. They will be richly rewarded." ―Journal of Song-Yuan Studies
The Beef Taboo in China explains how and why, around the turn of the second millennium, the Chinese determined that cattle should not be slaughtered or eaten. This taboo remained prevalent until the beginning of the twentieth century and is still observed by some today. Goossaert situates this prohibition within evolving Chinese attitudes toward animals and meat and juxtaposes the taboo with vegetarianism and other forms of meat ethics. He argues that the emergence of this specific practice must be understood in several contexts, notably a new agricultural economy and ecology in early modern times that protected plow cattle and marginalized pastures; a sacrificial reform that eliminated beef as the standard offering to gods and spirits; and the development of Daoist rituals, cults, and moral theology that tabooed beef and made this observance a linchpin of Chinese civilization.

The Blue Book: A Must-See, Can't-Miss, Won't-Forget Guide to Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand

Half the fun of an Elin Hilderbrand Nantucket novel is her attention to local detail: the beaches, restaurants, shops, and scenic destinations are as memorable as her Descriptions and characters. For years Elin's fans have made pilgrimages to the places they know from her books, and for years they've asked for a single guidebook to "Elin's Nantucket."
The wait is over: in The Blue Book, the Queen of the Beach Read - and dare we say the Queen of Nantucket - offers readers practical, fun, insider tips: from drive-on beaches to late-night dance bars; from romantic getaways to family outings; from where to find the best oysters to where to buy the best beach towel. Interspersed with scenes from Elin's novels set at the locations she recommends, with charming watercolor illustrations throughout, The Blue Book lets readers plan the perfect getaway- and live like the characters in an Elin Hilderbrand novel.
