From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King, a weird and insightful new novel about a girl intent on picking the lock of her toxic family.

Jane Vandermaker-Cook would like her mother back. As Jane's mother tours the world to support the family, Jane lives and goes to school in a Victorian mansion with her younger brother and their mendacious father who confines Jane's mother to a system of pneumatic tubes whenever she's at home. And then there's weirdly ever-present Aunt Finch, Milorad the gardener, and his rat, Brutus. For Jane, this all seems normal until she suddenly gains access to the files for a lifetime of security-camera videos--her lifetime.

A.S. King's latest surrealist masterpiece follows Jane's bizarre and brilliant journey to reconnect with her mother by breaking out of her shell and composing a punk opera.

This is a book about the future. Not the bleak, dystopian kind that so many seem convinced we're heading toward, but one that is built on hope, possibility, and progress.

Humanity faces complex global challenges, from technological and geopolitical shocks to social and ecological disruptions. Fear, hesitation, and avoidance won't help us overcome them. Slowing down is not the answer. We must move faster, think bigger, and fully leverage technology to build a future worth striving for. We need active hope and bold leaders who can turn adversity into opportunity.

The Uncertainty Principle focuses on the key levers of transformation to help leaders rethink and reshape their companies: strategy, foresight, organizational design, culture, innovation, risk appetite, and the evolving nature of work. Above all, it serves as a guide for those who see cracks in the system not as warnings, but as windows--those daring enough to believe they can change the world, because they are the ones who will.

As we zoom up the exponential curve of tech enabled change we all need an optimistic and inspiring guide. Peter Hinssen is that guide. In this new book Peter describes a "Never Normal" world helping us navigate "between the forces of pessimism and possibility".

-- Dr Peter Weill, Chairman MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR)

In an age when warnings dominate the conversation, The Uncertainty Principle stands out as a refreshingly optimistic guide. It demonstrates how business leaders can turn disruption into opportunity--not just for their own organizations, but for the world at large.

-- Costas Markides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School

Uncertainty isn't a threat--it's the raw material for tomorrow's opportunities. This book helps leaders imagine the impossible and install hope to change the future. A must-read!

-- David De Cremer, Dean of D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University

La tempestad es una de las ltimas obras que compuso William Shakespeare. Su genio teatral, lejos de verse agotado o disminuido, se despleg en ella con una sorprendente creatividad dram tica y po tica. Una historia fabulosa y triste, de traici n y perd n al mismo tiempo, un romance por el que desfilan personajes notables en una isla encantada de clima sutil y rara naturaleza, donde los acontecimientos se unen para producir una totalidad magn fica, una perfecta ilusi n esc nica. Esta traducci n que sigue los est ndares acad micos actualmente en uso para la edici n de las obras de Shakespeare, constituye un esfuerzo por recuperar el genuino talento art stico del dramaturgo ingl s no solo para el teatro de nuestros pa ses, sino tambi n para su ense anza. La fidelidad al texto original de 1623 intenta reproducir con mayor precisi n las singularidades y el particular estilo de escritura de la obra. En la introducci n se da cuenta de las caracter sticas del teatro isabelino, los problemas en torno al texto que conservamos de La tempestad, y refiere su larga y debatida historia interpretativa al tiempo que propone y re-propone algunas cuestiones hermen uticas fundamentales. El texto se acompa a de abundantes notas filol gicas y explicativas, respecto de diversas discusiones ling sticas, teatrales e hist ricas.

What's a talisman to do when his human dies and he finds himself in the hands of someone she loved, but he can't stand?

Chip lived in Isabelle's pocket for 25 years. He was her talisman-that little voice in her head that gave her the courage to travel from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the beaches of Southern France and beyond. When she's killed in a tragic accident, their magical bond unravels. Shared memories fade. Without his beloved human, Chip fears he'll become nothing but a silent lump of stone.
Isabelle's niece Sara lives on the family farm under the strict control of her husband. Chip awakens one day to find he's been shipped to her in a box of Isabelle's belongings. Still grief stricken, he's yearning for Isabelle's voice and only pays attention to Sara because she sneaks into one of Isabelle's journals to escape her own bleak existence.
This isn't the life Isabelle would've wanted for Sara, but Chip isn't her talisman. He couldn't help even if he wanted to; she can't hear him.
Sharing Isabelle's words, however, might just give them both the strength they need to carry on.

From the author of Trusting Bamboo Bridges comes Chipped, another poignant story of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's own path.

A fearless investigation into Freud's greatest reversal--and the century of silence that followed--The Assault on Truth exposes how the father of psychoanalysis buried his own discovery about childhood trauma, reshaping the course of psychology forever.

In 1896, Sigmund Freud presented his revolutionary "seduction theory," arguing that childhood sexual abuse directly caused adult mental illness. Just nine years later, he completely reversed this stance, insisting these traumatic memories were mere fantasies. Why did Freud retract his original theory? And why has the psychoanalytic community gone to such lengths to conceal this critical reversal?

In the landmark book, The Assault on Truth, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson draws on unique access to formerly sealed and hidden papers to uncover the truth behind this pivotal moment in psychoanalytic history. Masson dares to explore the reality that neither Freud nor his followers could bear to face.

This investigation reveals the enduring impact of Freud's decision on the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Bracing in its honesty and gripping in its revelations, The Assault on Truth is the book that prompted Masson's dramatic break with the psychoanalytic establishment and launched his brilliant career as an independent thinker and writer.
