<b>The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive--the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.</b><br/><br/>Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare--and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray. <br/><br/>Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide--Adolin in Azir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in Thaylenah. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar. <br/><br/>At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiant killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.<br/><br/>Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson <br/><br/>The Cosmere The Stormlight Archive<br/> The Way of Kings<br/> Words of Radiance<br/> Edgedancer (novella)<br/> Oathbringer<br/> Dawnshard (novella)<br/> Rhythm of War <br/><br/>The Mistborn Saga The Original Trilogy<br/> Mistborn<br/> The Well of Ascension<br/> The Hero of Ages <br/><br/>Wax &amp; Wayne<br/> The Alloy of Law<br/> Shadows of Self<br/> The Bands of Mourning<br/> The Lost Metal<br/><br/>Other Cosmere novels<br/> Elantris<br/> Warbreaker<br/> Tress of the Emerald Sea<br/> Yumi and the Nightmare Painter<br/> The Sunlit Man <br/><br/>Collection<br/> Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection <br/><br/>Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians<br/> Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians<br/> The Scrivener's Bones<br/> The Knights of Crystallia<br/> The Shattered Lens<br/> The Dark Talent<br/> Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians (with Janci Patterson) <br/><br/>Other novels<br/> The Rithmatist<br/> Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds<br/> The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England <br/><br/>Other books by Brandon Sanderson <br/><br/>The Reckoners<br/> Steelheart<br/> Firefight<br/> Calamity<br/> Lux (with Steven Michael Bohls) <br/><br/>Skyward<br/> Skyward<br/> Starsight<br/> Cytonic<br/> Skyward Flight (with Janci Patterson)<br/> Defiant

<b>A smart, incisive take-down of the bogus claims being made about so-called 'artificial intelligence', exposing the real harm these technologies do to our jobs, health, society and environment, who stands to gain from them, and how to fight back.</b><br/><br/>Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs, even creative ones, like doctors, teachers and care-workers? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at <i>everything</i>?<br/><br/>The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of <i>The AI Con </i>make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity so they can replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. Meanwhile, across healthcare, education, media, government and law-enforcement, 'AI' products are already being introduced that are unreliable, ineffective, unjust and dangerous.<br/><br/>Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, <i>The AI Con </i>arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life.

Europe stares into the abyss.<br/><br/>Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.<br/><br/>Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .<br/><br/>And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.<br/><br/>Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.<br/><br/>When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

This book presents a unique method for working with runes, blending deep philosophy with practical application. Once hidden and shrouded in secrecy, Stav now emerges to share its timeless wisdom, offering readers the chance to explore layers of the runes previously inaccessible to the modern world. Stav appeals to individuals seeking personal growth and self-discovery. Stav offers spiritual seekers a connection to Scandinavian traditions and martial arts practitioners a distinctive system shaped by Nordic heritage. Stav is a rich and deep tradition that shares meaningful insights to those drawn to the mysteries of the runes or Norse mythology.<br/><br/> Even though Stav has contemporary been labelled as a martial art, at its core, it is a Scandinavian educational tradition with the aim of fostering growth and personal development. Through its integration of runes and its own framework of Norse mythology, Stav gives the practitioners profound insights. While Stav encompasses a deeply spiritual and philosophical perspective, it remains non-dogmatic.<br/><br/> The martial arts training within Stav promotes both physical and mental well-being, showing parallels to what is today known as mindfulness or breathwork, Stav can also be seen as a Scandinavian counterpart to yoga. For those seeking a connection to Scandinavian native spirituality or wishing to practice a martial form deeply rooted in Nordic cultural heritage, Stav offers a meaningful and authentic path. This book helps you to take the first steps on your journey and discover the wisdom and balance that Stav can bring to your life.

<i>All You Need is Love </i>is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen.<br/><br/>In 1980-1981 former COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone in the Beatles' inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their international bestselling book <i>The Love You Make</i>, which spent four months on the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always fascinating testimony,<i> All You Need is Love </i>is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon.

<i>The saying goes that "God only gives you what you can handle." Well God didn't grow up in my atheist, Wiccan, fame-laden, oversexed, teetotalling, drug-free, cloistered, chaotic, non-communicative, workaholic, feral-feeling house.'</i><br/><br/>For Moon Unit, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his 'manager', Gail, processing a life so unique, so punctuated by the whims of creative urges, the tastes of popular culture and the calculus of celebrity, has at times been eviscerating. But it is her deep sense of humour and unshakeable humility that keeps her - and this memoir - pinned to the ground.<br/><br/>A child-star at age 14 after her accidental international hit single (recorded with her father), 'Valley Girl', turned her into a reluctant celebrity, Moon Unit Zappa's life has been utterly extraordinary from her birth in 1967 into a family that was already blessed/cursed as music royalty thanks to the acknowledged genius of Frank. But what are the consequences of growing up in a family who spend most of their time naked arguing about sexual/extra-marital liaisons and practising white magic in a free-for-all state of nonconformist, virtuoso abandon?<br/><br/><i>Earth to Moon</i> is a reckoning with self-esteem, the ghosts of the past and a mother and a father who, in the process of leaving their mark upon on the world, scarred their first daughter on home soil. Brutally self-deprecating and funny as hell, it belies a rose-tinted perspective on the 70s and 80s west coast American scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.
