Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! 03

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

'Waaas? Du kommst aus dem Osten? Das merkt man dir gar nicht an!' Dieser Satz begegnet Tina Goldschmidt immer wieder. Dabei ist sie in den Neunzigerjahrenin einem Leipziger Plattenbauaufgewachsen - umgeben von Nachbarn, die immer noch vom 'Niebormachen' sprechen. Und ihrem Opa, einem weisen Mann im türkisfarbenen, raschelnden Trainingsanzug, der sein Frühstücksei beharrlich mit scharfem Senf isst. Vor allem aber gibt er seiner Enkelin die wohl wichtigste Lektion fürs Leben mit: 'Vom Lachen kriegste Falten, die sich lohnen!'Doch Tina glaubt zunächst, von alledem ganz weit weg zu müssen, um etwas aus sich zu machen. Und zwar was Besonderes. Es zieht sie in die USA, nach Oxford und nach Schweden. Als 'Undercover-Sächsin' jagt sie einer internationalen Wissenschaftskarriere hinterher. Denn wenn einem nach der Wendeangeblich alle Türen offenstehen, sollte man gefälligst durch möglichst viele davon gehen. Oder? Jahre später ist Tina zurück in Leipzigund stellt fest, dass der sorgfältig geplante Lebenslaufnicht mehr zum eigenen Leben passt. Ihr bleibt sprichwörtlich die Luft weg. Das beste Gegenmittel? Sie beginnt, Comedy zu machen. Ausgerechnet auf Sächsisch. Und plötzlich steht genau das im Mittelpunkt, was früher besser niemand merken sollte.Warmherzigund mit viel Humorerzählt Tina Goldschmidt vom Aufwachsenmit dem Nachwendegefühl, die eigene Herkunftbloß unauffällig verbergen zu müssen.

A Novel

Mean Moms

In this emotional and empowering romance from the author of A Shot in the Dark, two musicians compete to win a prestigious piano competition . . . until sparks fly. Can a fiery romance help them to heal old wounds? “Truly worth swooning over.”—The New York Times Goldie Gensler has always wanted to be a concert musician like her parents, who were both principal musicians in the New York Philharmonic, but after a devastating multiple sclerosis diagnosis, that dream feels more urgent than ever. The world’s most prestigious international piano competition is coming up in two months in Stockholm. It’s the perfect chance for Goldie to make her dream come true. But it won’t be easy, because Jamie Larson, with his perfect technique and gorgeous ocean blue eyes, is competing too. After his brother’s death three years ago, Jamie just doesn’t love music like he used to, and he has always resented Goldie for her easy road to professional musicianship, paved by her wealthy and talented parents. He’s spent hours and hours studying to make it from small-town Iowa to the best music school in New York City. Yet his technical precision is no match for Goldie’s imperfect but emotionally resonant performances that make audiences swoon. Nevertheless, Jamie is determined to prove that skill and dedication are what make a virtuoso musician. Goldie and Jamie each have their own reasons to win, but when unexpected events force them to practice—and live—together in Goldie’s apartment over the holidays, they discover a passion for far more than music.

I Parry Everything

Der junge Mann Noor strebt danach, ein Abenteurer zu werden, und unterzieht sich dafür einem harten Training.
 

 Seinen Skill, "Parry", hat er so weit perfektioniert, dass er tausend Schwerter abwehren kann. Doch egal, wie sehr er sich auch bemüht: Da er nur über diesen einen Skill verfügt, kann er kein Abenteurer werden. Also verbringt er seine Tage damit, neben dem Training bescheiden und fleißig die kleinen Aufgaben in der Stadt zu erledigen.
 

 Eines Tages wird er jedoch aufgrund seiner überragenden Fähigkeiten, die ihm selbst nicht bewusst sind, in eine Verschwörung verwickelt, die das ganze Land erschüttert. Kann er trotz allen Hindernissen ein Abenteurer werden, der allen nützt?
 

 Der Weg des bescheidenen, aber stärksten Mannes zum Abenteurer beginnt hier!

I Parry Everything, Band 01

"Say Yes to the Dress meets Rosemary's Baby" (Margie Sarsfield) in this fresh, darkly funny horror novel in which a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother’s dreams. . . only to discover that wedding planning will eat you alive.&nbsp; If Ophelia Cohen learned one thing from her parents, it’s that getting married is a bad idea.&nbsp;But if she’s learning anything from her widowed mother’s dementia, it’s that dying alone is worse. So when she meets Luke—the man of her mother’s dreams—marriage suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy. But none of Ophelia’s obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law going crazy over every detail? Why is Luke’s family so eager to host the wedding in their vineyard’s ancient chapel? And what exactly will Ophelia have to sacrifice if she and her mother both hope to survive her special day? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance,&nbsp;Until Death&nbsp;is a deliciously dark and funny send-up of the wedding industrial complex—and a mother-daughter story unlike any you’ve read before. "Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream.” —Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife&nbsp; “Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny.” —Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle “Grabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go." —Kerry Cullen, author of House of Beth “Glistens with humor and horror. An electrifying and affecting debut.” —Samantha Hunt, author of The Seas

More or Less Maddy

Welcome to the Hôtel de Neige. Let yourself be swept away by its grandeur and glamor, but beware...the cold may swallow you whole. When lonely waitress Ana lands a job as a singer at the prestigious Hôtel de Neige, she believes it to be the beginning of her fairytale. Yet she soon finds that in those eerie halls, the line between Cinderella story and Gothic nightmare blurs. Sinister dreams cause her to sleepwalk, a ballerina makes ominous threats, and a phantom in white haunts the hotel-and Ana. As Ana discovers that the hotel's last singer lost his life under mysterious circumstances, she needs to decide if happily-ever-after is worth it. She knows she cannot trust her secretive colleagues or the charming but elusive hotel manager, Dimitri. All Ana ever wanted was to belong, but at the Hôtel de Neige, that may mean never leaving again...

Once Upon A Song

Dreamers and Dukes

"I have a duty to warn you: do not expect anything from Benjamin Scarsdale. And above all, do not lose your heart to him."

Lady Charlotte Aston was never taught how to fire a pistol. She was certainly never taught how to partake in a duel. And so, she never considered the possibility that she might find herself standing in a misty field at the crack of dawn, pistol in hand, opposite the king of London's underworld.

Mr. Benjamin Scarsdale is too familiar with death to be daunted by the prospect of standing twenty paces downfield from a flying bullet. But his challenger's capricious way of life has Benjamin itching to teach him a lesson-how quickly one can find themselves out of charity with fate.

However, when Benjamin's bullet lodges itself in the shoulder of Charlotte Aston and not her good-for-nothing brother, Benjamin finds he cannot walk away. After a rather unexpected proposition, Benjamin soon realises that Lady Charlotte Aston might just be the thing that unravels his entire empire.

With their worlds so far apart, will they be able to overcome the chasm that divides them and give their love a shot?

The first book in an unapologetically feminist Regency romance series, perfect for anyone whose favourite character in Bridgerton is Miss Penelope Featherington.
