Mars Trilogy

In the year 2026, a group of one hundred colonists is about to attempt to conquer the barren, desolate landscape of Mars.

Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel • Discover the novel that launched one of science fiction’s most beloved, acclaimed, and awarded trilogies: Kim Stanley Robinson’s masterly near-future chronicle of interplanetary colonization. &nbsp; “A staggering book . . . the best novel on the colonization of Mars that has ever been written.”—Arthur C. Clarke For centuries, the barren, desolate landscape of the red planet has beckoned to humankind. Now a group of one hundred colonists begins a mission whose ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a more Earthlike planet. They will place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light onto its surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels drilled into the mantle will create stupendous vents of hot gases. But despite these ambitious goals, there are some who would fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed.

Solomon Kane journeys back to England to save a woman accused of witchcraft and murder. Kane must find the true culprits while battling the town?s paranoia and superstition.

The first novel based on Robert E. Howard’s uncompromising Puritan anti-hero. A haunting and intense Gothic mystery for readers of Christopher Buehlman, John Langan and Brom.

Solomon Kane: Suffer The Witch

A provocative new theory of "the economy," its history, and its politics that better unites history and economics What is the economy, really? Is it a "market sector," a "general equilibrium," or the "gross domestic product"? Economics today has become so preoccupied with methods that economists risk losing sight of the economy itself. Meanwhile, other disciplines, although often intent on criticizing the methods of economics, have failed to articulate an alternative vision of the economy. Before the ascent of postwar neoclassical economics, fierce debates raged, as many different visions of the economy circulated and competed with one another. In The Real Economy, Jonathan Levy returns to the spirit of this earlier era, which, in all its contentiousness, gave birth to the discipline of economics. Drawing inspiration particularly from Thorstein Veblen and John Maynard Keynes, Levy proposes a theory of the economy that is open to rich empirical and historical scrutiny, covering topics that include the emergence of capitalism, the notion of radical uncertainty, the meaning of demand, the primal desire for money, the history of corporations, and contemporary globalization. Writing for anyone interested in the study of the economy, Levy provides an invaluable provocation for a broader debate in the social sciences and humanities concerning what "the economy" is.

The Real Economy

What if sixty days could transform the way you lead - and the way you live?

After more than 30 years in high-stakes leadership roles, Carole M. Adolphe had mastered predicting outcomes, minimizing risk, and guiding organizations through growth and transition. As a trusted member of the C-suite, she delivered results again and again.

But beneath the success, something was breaking.

Misalignment. Burnout. A leadership culture built on performance instead of presence.

So she walked away.

Permission to Lead Differently: Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead is not a book about escape - it's about returning. Returning to self. To alignment. To leadership that doesn't require you to disappear behind a role.

Blending powerful storytelling with leadership insight drawn from journeys across Bali, Japan, South Korea, Tanzania, Ghana, Egypt, Switzerland, and Colombia, Carole translates lived experience into practical wisdom leaders can apply back in the boardroom.

This book is especially for leaders who are:feeling devalued despite their contributions
experiencing public success and private exhaustion
struggling with identity, purpose, and voice
looking for alternatives to normalized burnout
spending more energy performing than leading
done with systems that reward endurance over alignment
ready to stop shrinking to belong



Inside, you'll discover how to:let go of what no longer serves you
lead with intention instead of urgency
hold complexity with clarity
reclaim your voice and presence
redefine success on your own terms
lead boldly - without burnout



Permission to Lead Differently invites you into a leadership culture shift grounded in lived truth, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.

If you're ready to lead from alignment instead of exhaustion-
 from clarity instead of performance-
 from purpose instead of pressure-

You have permission to lead differently.

Eight Countries. One Awakening. A New Way to Lead

Permission to Lead Differently

Carcosa

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.

Burnout rising. Systems cracking. Talent leaving. The solution: design for human dignity and full-person diversity—with this award-winning guide. The Canary Code reorganizes work for thriving—starting with those first impacted by faulty systems, like canaries first sensing toxic air in coal mines. Neurodivergent talent (members of ADHD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning-differences communities, and others who think and experience life differently) offer unique skills and exceptional work ethics, yet face employment barriers. Their unique abilities and perspectives are excluded, and their canary warnings about bullying, broken workflows, or ethical drift are ignored. This practical guide helps CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and changemakers improve work for all. Drawing on science and lived experience, 2025 Thinkers50 Talent Award winner and internationally renowned management expert Ludmila Praslova shows how embracing neurodiversity creates healthier, more innovative systems. A neurodivergent organizational psychologist with over twenty-five years of global practice and research on inclusive organizations, she offers the following: <ul><li>A holistic framework of human differences (social, cognitive, emotional, physical)</li><li>An intersectional, whole-person approach to neuroinclusion</li><li>Dignity-based talent practices, from hiring to leadership development</li><li>Global perspectives celebrating diverse neurodivergent voices</li><li>Actionable strategies for change at any organizational level</li></ul> Blending lived experience, academic rigor, and accessible writing, this groundbreaking work exemplifies neuroinclusion. It clearly indicates academic, applied, and personal content, supporting an individualized reader experience.

All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.All evidence points to Sharyn Karr—an American student.

ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE... DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders. But as the bodies stack up, Lyla's whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer's bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again. Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she's going to turn the final page on the killings... 'An exquisite puzzle of a crime thriller, it revels in the shadows, as reality is savagely entwined with the very roots of storytelling itself... Prepare to be spellbound because A. K. Benedict is a master of this darkest art' JANICE HALLETT 'A clever, clever, thoroughly meta, extraordinarily enjoyable modern fairy-tale with layer after layer of intrigue and a breathless pace, I loved it, especially the delicious happy ever after' ANDREA MARA 'Hugely inventive and mind-bendingly clever' CLAIRE McGOWAN &nbsp; 'A fairytale trickster of a book, witty, sly and wickedly clever; it gripped me from first page to last.&nbsp;This is the thriller you'd get if Angela Carter kidnapped Stephen King and made him write with toadstool ink' KIT WHITFIELD &nbsp; 'Some passages read like Agatha Christie, some like Angela Carter&nbsp;- but all of it is written with the smoothness and intelligence that is AK Benedict's signature style. With charm and chills often on the same page, this is a serpentine novel that refuses to give up its secrets until it's good and ready' CHARLOTTE BOND

The Promises of Giants

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.
