The Difference
In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves in relation to one another. The Difference is about how we think in groups--and how our collective wisdom exceeds the sum of its parts. Why can teams of people find better solutions than brilliant individuals working alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon the very qualities that make each of us unique? The answers lie in diversity--not what we look like outside, but what we look like within, our distinct tools and abilities. The Difference reveals that progress and innovation may depend less on lone thinkers with enormous IQs than on diverse people working together and capita...
PACE
"A pitch-black global thriller that is nevertheless supremely intimate." -- Kirkus Review A mysterious Front, originating in Scotland and slowly expanding outward, threatens humanity's existence. In defiance of the known laws of physics, it only kills humans and is otherwise undetectable. Panic-stricken nations struggle against both the advancing menace and a tide of civil unrest. Desperate individuals must find their own paths,and find them quickly. Although very slow, the Front can be deceptively difficult to escape. Mankind has only a few years to pool its rapidly dwindling resources and save itself from extinction.
Sausalito
Sausalito got its Spanish name, meaning little willow grove, from British seaman William Richardson. He hoped that this deep-water anchorage, so close to the Golden Gate, would become the entrance to a busy city. But the tall ships mostly rushed past his WhalerA[a¬a[s Cove to anchor in San Francisco. Later SausalitoA[a¬a[s gentle hills and sun-washed harbor became a favorite playground and retreat for wealthy San Franciscans, and large hotels like the El Monte prospered. Before construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito was a transportation nexus for trains and ferries, and in a sudden mobilization during World War II, 22,000 people a day worked three shifts building liberty ships at Marinship. Sausalito was homeport for many seafaring adventurers, daring rumrunners during Prohibition, and later for beatniks, poets, hippies, and artists drawn to SausalitoA[a¬a[s spectacular vistas and relatively rural atmosphere. Making their abodes on riotously rickety houseboats or in cabins perched on steep slopes, they left an artistic legacy to the community.

Five Minutes to Eternity
Surely there was a village nearby. “Stop!” Without warning three armed men suddenly appeared in front of the two young Lifestory Tellers. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” “We are teachers sir,” Asgat replied, humbly but clearly. “We don’t want any teachers. Go away, or we will kill you!” “Wait,” Asgat said. “If you have children we have a story for them.” “What kind of story?” “A beautiful story about God.” All was quiet as the elders stared at the young men. “You may come to our school and tell the children the story, but then you must leave immediately after.” Asgat and Alifaz smiled and gave a customary greeting. Soon many households in this...
