Flirting With Death
Detective Richard Young is a Chicago detective who works for a squad that plays by a different set of rules, and this is evident once he encounters Jamie Perez. The story quickly unfolds once he discovers that Jamie is Julie Wilson's niece. Julie Wilson is the criminal mastermind that was put behind bars by Richard and his crew. However, now that she's out of jail, Richard knows she's going to be vengeful, so with Jamie coming out of the woodworks at the same time as Julie's release, he's a little skeptical about the things she says and the actions she takes. It brings the question to mind: is she genuine or is she toying with him for the satisfaction of her aunt. Not only does he discover that Jamie is Julie's niece, but the truth is also revealed about his girlfriend, Madison Miller, and his partner/best-friend, Jared Hubbard. Richard's friendships and ability to work through controversy will be put to the test. Will he be able to push through?

The Leopard in the Pool
The tidal wave of transformation has taken a hold of humanity. Never before in history have humans been overwhelmed by the tsunami of information presented by electronics of all kinds. We are now immersed in the super cyber highway of information and surrounded by the spider web of communications spanning the depths of the oceans to synchronized satellite constellations in space. We now exist in a virtual world where our neural network is wired like never before; people communicate via their computers or text rather than talk face-to-face, relationships evolve online, creativity and breakthrough innovation is stifled where holding a thought is a fleeting fancy replaced with the insatiable em...
Beyond the Self
A Buddhist monk and esteemed neuroscientist discuss their converging—and diverging—views on the mind and self, consciousness and the unconscious, free will and perception, and more Buddhism shares with science the task of examining the mind empirically; it has pursued, for two millennia, direct investigation of the mind through penetrating introspection. Neuroscience, on the other hand, relies on third-person knowledge in the form of scientific observation. In this book, Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk trained as a molecular biologist, and Wolf Singer, a distinguished neuroscientist—close friends, continuing an ongoing dialogue—offer their perspectives on the mind, the self, conscio...
Edith Wharton and Genre
Based on extensive new archival research, Edith Wharton and Genre: Beyond Fiction offers the first study of Wharton’s full engagement with original writing in genres outside those with which she has been most closely identified. So much more than an acclaimed novelist and short story writer, Wharton is reconsidered in this book as a controversial playwright, a gifted poet, a trailblazing travel writer, an innovative and subversive critic, a hugely influential design writer, and an author who overturned the conventions of autobiographical form. Her versatility across genres did not represent brief sidesteps, temporary diversions from what has long been read as her primary role as novelist. Each was pursued fully and whole-heartedly, speaking to Wharton’s very sense of herself as an artist and her connected vision of artistry and art. The stories of these other Edith Whartons, born through her extraordinary dexterity across a wide range of genres, and their impact on our understanding of her career, are the focus of this new study, revealing a bolder, more diverse, subversive and radical writer than has long been supposed.
