Tash resents Caleb from the first word of the first sentence they write together - but as the story continues, the romantic tension spills off the page.

A leading urban economist s hopeful study of how shifts to remote work can change all of our lives for the better.  As COVID-19 descended upon the country in 2020, millions of American office workers transitioned to working from home to reduce risk of infection and prevent spread of the virus. In the aftermath of this shift, a significant number of workers remain at least partially remote. It is clear that this massive experiment we were forced to run will have long-term consequences, changing the shape of our personal and work lives, as well as the urban landscape around us. How will the rise of telecommuting affect workers quality of life, the profitability of firms, and the economic geography of our cities and suburbs? Going Remote addresses the uncertainties and possibilities of this moment. In Going Remote, urban economist Matthew E. Kahn takes readers on a journey through the new remote-work economy, revealing how people will configure their lives when they have more freedom to choose where they work and how they live. Melding ideas from labor economics, family economics, the theory of the firm, and urban economics, Kahn paints a realistic picture of the future for workers, firms, and urban areas, big and small. As Kahn shows, the rise of remote work presents especially valuable opportunities for flexibility and equity in the lives of women, minorities, and young people, and even for those whose jobs do not allow them to work from home. Uncovering key implications for our quality of life, Going Remote demonstrates how the rise of remote work can significantly improve the standard of living for millions of people by expanding personal freedom, changing the arc of how we live, work, and play.

A highly illustrated history of the Wars of the Roses based on the medieval art of Graham Turner.The period of civil strife in the second half of the 15th century now known as the Wars of the Roses was one of the most dramatic and tumultuous in English history. Since first being inspired by a visit to Bosworth battlefield nearly 30 years ago, renowned historical artist Graham Turner has built a worldwide reputation for his depictions of this colourful and troubled era, his paintings and prints prized by historians and collectors for their attention to detail and dramatic and atmospheric compositions. This new study contains a detailed history of the wars alongside a unique and comprehensive collection of over 120 of his paintings and drawings, many created especially for this book. It provides meticulously researched details of arms, armour, settings and countless other aspects of the period, while bringing to life the human stories behind the turbulent events.

A Fortune magazine journalist draws on his expertise and extensive contacts among the companies and scientists at the forefront of artificial intelligence to offer dramatic predictions of AI’s impact over the next decade, from reshaping our economy and the way we work, learn, and create to unknitting our social fabric, jeopardizing our democracy, and fundamentally altering the way we think.Within the next five years, Jeremy Kahn predicts, AI will disrupt almost every industry and enterprise, with vastly increased efficiency and productivity. It will restructure the workforce, making AI copilots a must for every knowledge worker. It will revamp education, meaning children around the world can have personal, portable tutors. It will revolutionize health care, making individualized, targeted pharmaceuticals more affordable. It will compel us to reimagine how we make art, compose music, and write and publish books. The potential of generative AI to extend our skills, talents, and creativity as humans is undeniably exciting and promising. But while this new technology has a bright future, it also casts a dark and fearful shadow. AI will provoke pervasive, disruptive, potentially devastating knock-on effects. Leveraging his unrivaled access to the leaders, scientists, futurists, and others who are making AI a reality, Kahn will argue that if not carefully designed and vigilantly regulated AI will deepen income inequality, depressing wages while imposing winner-take-all markets across much of the economy. AI risks undermining democracy, as truth is overtaken by misinformation, racial bias, and harmful stereotypes. Continuing a process begun by the internet, AI will rewire our brains, likely inhibiting our ability to think critically, to remember, and even to get along with one another—unless we all take decisive action to prevent this from happening. Much as Michael Lewis’s classic The New New Thing offered a prescient, insightful, and eminently readable account of life inside the dot-com bubble, Mastering AI delivers much-needed guidance for anyone eager to understand the AI boom—and what comes next.

The first volume exclusively devoted to J.M.W. Turner s erotic works, bringing together an outstanding selection of sensual and passionate drawings by the great master, all drawn from Tate s collection. Up until a few years ago, biographies of both J.M.W. Turner and John Ruskin had claimed that, in 1858, Ruskin burned bundles of erotic paintings and drawings by Turner in a fit of embarrassed Victorian censorship, to protect Turner s posthumous reputation. Ruskin s friend Ralph Nicholson Wornum, who was Keeper of the National Gallery, was said to have colluded in the alleged destruction. However, in 2005 these works, which form part of the Turner Bequest held at Tate Britain, were re-appraised by Turner scholar Ian Warrell, who suggested that Ruskin and Wornum did not destroy the sketches and that almost all of the allegedly destroyed drawings are in the Tate collection.  This lavishly illustrated book, the first exclusively devoted to Turner s erotic work, examines in detail this little known aspect of the artist s oeuvre. In his original essay, fully reproduced here, Warrell places the work within the context of Turner s social and artistic milieu, contemporary preoccupations with art for public and private consumption, and the details and intricacies of Turner s life and output. An essential addition to the canon of work on Britain s most prolific and adored artist, this beautifully produced volume will be of interest to scholars, connoisseurs, and all Turner devotees.

Over the last few years, we have increasingly been hearing about bad debts and the significant discrepancies between the financial health of some companies and that of the owners of these companies. In a world that is conscious about rising inequalities and in a country where over half a billion people struggle to have one square meal a day, a few hundred promoters and their companies, many of these politically well-connected, are doing their best to get away with the loot. Though there have been numerous news articles and saturation coverage of the stressed assets problem in financial newspapers and TV channels, there has not been a comprehensive account that gives the big picture putting together various aspects in this jigsaw puzzle. There is the whole list of banks and companies and the relationships between them, which needs closer study. This book explores the factors and players in what is essentially a major stumbling block in the progress of the Indian economy and in turn the nation itself. It aims to get to the bottom of this cesspool and put out the findings in a readable form. It will be of great general reader interest, and especially to those interested in business, economics, finance, governance, banking and politics.

One of the greatest love stories of all time, The Lady of the Camellias recounts the history of Marguerite Gautier, the most beautiful, brazen, and expensive courtesan in all of Paris. Known to all as the Lady of the Camellias because she is never seen without her favourite flowers, she leads a glittering life of endless parties and aristocratic balls, with the richest men in France flocking to her boudoir to lay their fortunes at her feet. But despite having many lovers, she has never really loved - until she meets Armand Duval, young, handsome and from a lower social class, and yet hopelessly in love with Marguerite.ALEXANDRE DUMAS fils (1824-1895) was the son of the famous novelist Alexandre Dumas. In 1847 he published his first novel, Adventures of Four Women and a Parrot, followed a year later by The Lady of the Camellias and ten other novels over the next decade. After the great success of the dramatic version of The Lady of the Camellias, he was gradually drawn away from the novel to the stage. In 1874 he was elected to the French Academy and until his death continued to produce a long line of successful plays.LIESL SCHILLINGER is a journalist and literary critic who writes regularly for The New York Times Book Review and spent many years on the editorial staff of The New Yorker.

Beyond The Origin is a channeled dialogue between the author, the ultimate creator, and the multiple versions itself as he (the author) moves through Event Space, allowing him to understand, to some extent, the future of The Origin and the birthplace of structured space as if it were distant history.  The Origin Speaks opened up the world to the history of The Origin, how it evolved, the structure of space within which its sentience exists, why it created the twelve Source Entities, and the role that Event Space had in it becoming the dominant volume of sentience. This book takes the reader much, much further. The reader is not only updated on the current work of The Origin while being exposed to new concepts but is also taken, as a function of Event Space, to what humans recognize as the future version of The Origin. In this book, Needler uncovers many things: Event Space will ensure that The Origin becomes the dominant volume of sentience. All sentience eventually reenters into full communion with The Origin. Event Space becomes The Origin and The Origin becomes Event Space. There are twelve levels of structured space. Structured space is an aberration in nonstructured space or nothingness. Event Space only exists in structured space. Parallelism is just one function of Event Space. There will be an end to nonstructured space or nothingness. “Shear Potential” created structured space within nonstructured space. Human maturity is on the horizon—relatively speaking—but we need to give up individuality to gain omnipresence and omniscience and thus gain individuality! There are twelve groups of twelve Source Entities. The author has to work with different versions of The Origin as he moves through Event Space. Just when you think that we are starting to understand the Greater Reality, Needler throws another monkey wrench in the works.

Fernando Pessoa s The Book of Disquiet is a modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to Ulysses, The Trial or In Search of Lost Time. This complete and unabridged edition â “ published in Penguin Modern Classics - is edited and translated with an introduction by Richard Zenith The best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever - The Guardian*Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation* Fernando Pessoa, strictly speaking, doesn t exist, - so claimed Alvaro de Campos, one of the heteronyms , fully-realised substitute personalities invented by Fernando Pessoa to spare himself the trouble of living real life. In this extraordinary book, the putative factless autobiography of an accountant named Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa explores and dismantles the nature of memory, identity, time and narrative, creating one of the greatest - but also the strangest - modernist texts. An assembly of sometimes-linked fragments, The Book of Disquiet is a mesmerising, haunting novel without parallel in any other culture.This edition includes notes on the reconstruction of the text, appendices containing material omitted from the final version and letters which Pessoa intended to incorporate into the text. This edition also includes a table of the heteronyms used by Pessoa in his writing.Fernando Pessoa (1888â “ 1935) was born in Lisbon but went to live in Durban, South Africa, at the age of seven. He returned to Lisbon in 1905. A prolific writer who ascribed much of his work to a variety of personas, or heteronyms, Pessoa published relatively little of his vast output and supported himself by writing letters in English for importâ “ export firms. Although acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognized until after his death.Richard Zenith lives in Lisbon, where he works as a freelance writer, researcher and translator. He has edited and translated many works by Fernando Pessoa, including A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe â “ Selected Poems. His Pessoa: An Experimental Life was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography.

This sumptuous gift set includes a replica of the very rare first edition of The Hobbit, the only edition where one can now read the original version of the story before Tolkien re-edited it to become the one enjoyed by readers since 1951.The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937, with a print run of 1,500 copies. With a beautiful cover design, nearly a dozen black white illustrations and two black red maps by the author himself, the book proved to be popular and was reprinted shortly afterwards. History was already being made.The scarcity of the first edition has resulted in copies commanding huge prices, way beyond the reach of most Tolkien fans. In addition, subsequent changes to the text â “ particularly those to chapter 5, when Tolkien decided in 1947 to revise the text to bring it better into accord with events as they were developing in its â ˜sequelâ ™, The Lord of the Rings â “ mean that the opportunity to read the book in its original form and format has become quite difficult.This special printing reprints the first edition, so that readers of all ages â “ not just â ˜children between the ages of 5 and 9â ™, as Rayner Unwin famously declared in his report on the original submission â “ can finally enjoy Tolkienâ ™s story as it originally appeared.

This smart new paperback edition contains the fully-reset text of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and honour. It features a beautifully decorated text and includes as a bonus the complete version of Tolkienâ ™s acclaimed lecture on Sir Gawain.Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values.Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters.Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkienâ ™s.The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals, and are uniquely accompanied with the complete text of Tolkienâ ™s acclaimed 1953 W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture that he delivered on Sir Gawain.

The ancient Sumerian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest written stories in existence, translated with an introduction by Andrew George in Penguin Classics. Miraculously preserved on clay tablets dating back as much as four thousand years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world s oldest epic, predating Homer by many centuries. The story tells of Gilgamesh s adventures with the wild man Enkidu, and of his arduous journey to the ends of the earth in quest of the Babylonian Noah and the secret of immortality. Alongside its themes of family, friendship and the duties of kings, The Epic of Gilgamesh is, above all, about mankind s eternal struggle with the fear of death. The Babylonian version has been known for over a century, but linguists are still deciphering new fragments in Akkadian and Sumerian. Andrew George s gripping translation brilliantly combines these into a fluid narrative and will long rank as the definitive English Gilgamesh. If you enjoyed The Epic of Gilgamesh, you might like Homer s Iliad, also available in Penguin Classics.

More than 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication in Lippincott s Monthly Magazine, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in a paperback edition. This volume restores all of the material removed by the novel s first editor.Upon receipt of the typescript, Wilde s editor panicked at what he saw. Contained within its pages was material he feared readers would find offensive -especially instances of graphic homosexual content. He proceeded to go through the typescript with his pencil, cleaning it up until he made it acceptable to the most fastidious taste. Wilde did not see these changes until his novel appeared in print. Wilde s editor s concern was well placed. Even in its redacted form, the novel caused public outcry. The British press condemned it as vulgar, unclean, poisonous, discreditable, and a sham. When Wilde later enlarged the novel for publication in book form, he responded to his critics by further toning down its immoral elements.Wilde famously said that The Picture of Dorian Gray contains much of me : Basil Hallward is what I think I am, Lord Henry what the world thinks me, and Dorian what I would like to be-in other ages, perhaps. Wilde s comment suggests a backward glance to a Greek or Dorian Age, but also a forward-looking view to a more permissive time than his own repressive Victorian era. By implication, Wilde would have preferred we read today the uncensored version of his novel.
