The teenage queen risks a violent death to find the help they need as they battle an ancient evil set on the destruction of their people BRITAIN, 21st Century. Oliver, a depressed London film student in search of meaning and beauty, visits his coffee guzzling grandfather in the Scottish highlands. With the old man's help, he discovers Mordecai and Esther⸺and the answers to so much more. WARNING: this is not your grandmother's sanitised, rose-petalled Esther. Read the scripture-saga as told by a Scottish grandfather to his grandson, Oliver, in a potent blend of dry humour, robust theology, and dark storytelling⸺the first in the Oliver Anderson Trilogy. 'Joshua's books pack a deep punch, leaves you unable to put them down, and deliver fantastic humour!' -Simcha Nathan, Israeli author of Awakened
Parallax
WINNER OF THE T S ELIOT PRIZE 2013SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2013 FORWARD PRIZE In Parallax Sinéad Morrissey documents what is caught, and what is lost, when houses and cityscapes, servants and saboteurs ( the different people who lived in sepia') are arrested in time by photography (or poetry), subjected to the authority of a particular perspective. Assured and disquieting, Morrissey's poems explore the paradoxes in what is seen, read and misread in the surfaces of the presented world.In a year of brilliantly themed collections, the judges were unanimous in choosing Sinéad Morrissey's Parallax as the winner. Politically, historically and personally ambitious, expressed in beautifully turned language, her book is as many-angled and any-angled as its title suggests. Ian Duhig, Chair of the T S Eliot Prize 2013 Judges. 'The outstanding poet of her generation.' Stephen Knight, Independent
The Economics of Artificial Intelligence
A timely investigation of the potential economic effects, both realized and unrealized, of artificial intelligence within the United States healthcare system. In sweeping conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on many sectors of the economy, healthcare has received relatively little attention. Yet it seems unlikely that an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the economy could escape the efficiency and cost-driven disruptions of AI. The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Health Care Challenges brings together contributions from health economists, physicians, philosophers, and scholars in law, public health, and machine learning to identify the primary barriers to entry of AI in the healthcare sector. Across original papers and in wide-ranging responses, the contributors analyze barriers of four types: incentives, management, data availability, and regulation. They also suggest that AI has the potential to improve outcomes and lower costs. Understanding both the benefits of and barriers to AI adoption is essential for designing policies that will affect the evolution of the healthcare system.

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour
*** Winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize 2014 and Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014 *** 'The Catch-22 of dentistry' Stephen King Joshua Ferris's dazzling new novel To Rise Again at a Decent Hour is about the meaning of life, the certainty of death, and the importance of good oral hygiene.

Paul O'Rourke - dentist extraordinaire, reluctant New Yorker, avowed atheist, disaffected Red Sox fan, and a connoisseur of the afternoon mochaccino - is a man out of touch with modern life. While his dental practice occupies his days, his nights are filled with darker thoughts, as he alternately marvels at and rails ...
Moral Tribes
A ground-breaking and ambitious book that promotes a new understanding of morality, one that will help us to solve society's biggest problems. Our brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us), and for fighting off everyone else (Them). But modern life has thrust the world's tribes into a shared space, creating conflicts of interest and clashes of values, along with unprecedented opportunities. As the world shrinks, the moral lines that divide us become more salient and more puzzling. We fight over everything from tax codes to gay marriage to global warming, and we wonder where, if at all, we can find our common ground. A grand synthesis of neuros...
