My obsession was born of innocence and good intentions, and it began the day I spotted a handwritten journal lying in the bushes outside a townhouse on Lexington Avenue. It was raining sideways that morning, and my plan was to return it the next day; safe and dry. Only I kept it. I kept it, and I read it. A week later, overwhelmed with curiosity and feeling guilty for harboring secrets that didn't belong to me, I tried to return it. Only I wasn't expecting to meet him. Unapologetically heartless and enigmatically sexy, he claims he knows nothing about the journal I found outside his place, but the reticent glint in his blue-green gaze tells me otherwise. There's something different about him; something damaged yet magical, and I'm drawn to him; pulled into his orbit. There's just one problem.The more I get to know him, the more I'm positive the journal belonged to him . . .. . . and the more I find myself hoping, selfishly, that I'm wrong.
Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet explains why the Internet Protocol (IP) has become the protocol of choice for smart object networks.

The book is organized into three parts. Part 1 demonstrates why the IP architecture is well suited to smart object networks, in contrast to non-IP based sensor network or other proprietary systems that i...
There are three names that have haunted me for ten years. Silas, Damon, Jude. I never wanted to come back to Greythorn, MA. And I never thought I'd see Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, or Jude Vanderbilt again-especially not after what happened.

I made their life a living hell back then, so they plan on making my life a living hell now. They're out for blood-my blood. Their ruthless thirst for revenge turns my skin to ice, and I soon discover just how savage and hateful they are. But despite popular opinion, my life was never full of ...
Unforbidden Pleasures is the dazzling new book from Adam Phillips, author of Missing Out and Going Sane Adam Phillips takes Oscar Wilde as a springboard for a deep dive into the meanings and importance of the Unforbidden, from the fall of our 'first parents' Adam and Eve to the work of the great twentieth-century psychoanalytic thinkers. Unforbidden pleasures, he argues, are always the ones we tend not to think about, yet when you look into it, it is probable that we get as much pleasure, if not more, from them. And we may have underestimated just how restricted our restrictiveness, in thrall to the forbidden and its rules, may make us. Adam Phillips' latest ambitious project explores the ph...
