The Homemade God: A Novel by Rachel Joyce English | July 8, 2025 | ISBN: 0593448294 | True EPUB | 336 pages | 6.5 MB With sparkling wit and insight, this "gorgeous . . . page-turner" (People) from the bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry reminds us that family is everything, even when it falls apart. There is a heatwave across Europe, and four siblings have gathered at their family's lake house to seek answers about their father, a famous artist, who recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his long-awaited masterpiece. Now he is dead. And there is no sign of his final painting. As the siblings try to piece together what happened, they spend the summer in a state of lawlessness: living under the same roof for the first time in decades, forced to confront the buried wounds they incurred as his children, and waiting for answers. Though they have always been close, the things they learn that summer-about themselves-and their father-will drive them apart before they can truly understand his legacy. Meanwhile, their stepmother's enigmatic presence looms over the house. Is she the force that will finally destroy the family for good? Wonderfully atmospheric, at heart this is a novel about the bonds of siblinghood-what happens when they splinter, and what it might take to reconnect them.

The Headache: The Science of a Most Confounding Affliction-and a Search for Relief by Tom Zeller Jr. English | July 15th, 2025 | ISBN: 0358507758 | 336 pages | True EPUB | 1.51 MB "Required reading for anyone with a head."-Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Stiff and Fuzz For the many millions of headache sufferers, a deeply reported, sometimes harrowing, and frequently humorous journey into the author's own excruciating headaches, and the science behind these surprisingly mysterious disorders that may, finally, offer relief. Virtually everyone has experienced a headache-a nuisance arising from occasional stress or as payback for last night's overindulgence. But for hundreds of millions of people, there are headaches, and then there are headaches. From blinding migraines to severe headache disorders known as "clusters," chronic head pain can upend entire seasons of life. And perhaps owing to the ordinariness of the very word "headache," these disorders are frequently trivialized. In The Headache, veteran science journalist Tom Zeller Jr. takes readers on an odyssey both intimate and panoramic, through his own decades-long struggle with cluster headaches and across the scientific landscape of a group of disorders that is-to the chagrin of sufferers-as much a curse as a cultural punchline. He visits cutting-edge clinics; interviews dozens of doctors, neurologists, and fellow headache patients; participates in clinical trials for multi-million-dollar new medicines; and even experiments with psilocybin in search of relief. Along the way, Zeller traces the longer arc of mystery around headaches, from prehistoric skull surgery to Virginia Woolf's assertion that, in the throes of a migraine, "language runs dry," to reveal how headaches became one of the most under-researched afflictions in medicine-and how that is slowly starting to change. With warmth, wit, and infectious curiosity, Zeller's search for the origins of his own headaches becomes a journey into the inner workings of the human nervous system, and an illuminating look at the nature of pain itself.

The Greatest Possible Good by Ben Brooks English | 15 July 2025 | ISBN: 1398542210 | True EPUB | 416 pages | 2 MB How much should one person give to make the world a better place? How much can one family take? "I'd like you to imagine that you're walking to work one day and you come upon a child drowning in a pool of water. But imagine that someone refused to jump in after the child on the grounds that it would ruin his three-hundred-pound pair of John Lobb loafers. We'd consider them utterly immoral, would we not?' Arthur Candlewick spends three days in a disused mineshaft with only his son's drug stash, a book on the concept of 'effective altruism' and a bottle of medium-priced Bordeaux for company. When he emerges, he has made the life-changing decision to become a good man. Deciding to sell the family timber business and give away his wealth to charity, Arthur's family become convinced that he has lost his mind. His university-bound daughter, Evangeline, wants to change the world but perhaps not at the cost of her own privileged life. His son, Emil, good at maths and not much else, becomes more distant than ever. And his wife, Yara, who arrives at airports four hours early and fears that AI and climate change will leave her children unemployed, just wants the doctor to run another brain scan on her husband. Incisive, hilarious and unflinchingly human, The Greatest Possible Good asks fundamental questions about what it means to live a good life while introducing the world to one of the great families of contemporary literature.

Settling in at a local actress's energetic boarding house, Charlie discovers a different way of life-one brimming with opportunity-from a promising career at a Black-owned insurance firm, the absence of Jim Crow, to the potential of an unforgettable romance. But nothing dazzles quite like James "Reaper" Mann.

Told from the unique perspective of a young man who has just returned from a grueling, segregated war, The Great Mann weaves a compelling narrative of wealth and class, illuminating the complexities of Black identity and education in post-war America.

The Great Harvest: AI, Labor, and the Bitcoin Lifeline by Adam Livingston English | April 19, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0F5NPC1KC | 270 pages | EPUB | 0.53 Mb What happens when human labor becomes obsolete, money becomes meaningless, and reality becomes a deepfake? The Great Harvest: AI, Labor, and the Bitcoin Lifeline is a prophetic manifesto for anyone who refuses to be harvested in the age of automation and fiat collapse. Written by Adam Livingston, author of The Bitcoin Age, this book is part philosophical treatise, part survival guide, and part financial red pill for a world spiraling toward synthetic control. With blistering insight, dark humor, and razor-sharp analysis, Livingston unpacks the greatest shift in human history: the transition from a labor-based society to an AI-driven simulacrum - and what that means for your freedom, finances, and future. Inside these pages, you'll uncover: * Why AI doesn't just replace jobs - it destroys trust, consensus, and meaning itself * How fiat currency systems are collapsing under their own parasitic weight * Why most people will unknowingly sell their sovereignty for dopamine and convenience * The philosophical and spiritual war between simulation and truth * And why Bitcoin isn't just digital money - it's the last oracle of incorruptible verification in an age of algorithmic deception Livingston guides you through the collapse with clarity and precision, weaving together economics, metaphysics, and cutting-edge tech into a gripping narrative of the times we're living through - and the storm that's coming next. From deepfake presidents to collapsing currencies, from weaponized attention economies to synthetic intimacy, The Great Harvest makes one thing clear: we are not headed toward utopia - we are headed toward something far more dangerous.

The Great Chinese Art Heist: Imperialism, Organized Crime, and the Hidden Story of China's Stolen Artistic Treasures by Ralph Pezzullo English | July 15, 2025 | ISBN: 1639369139 | 304 pages | EPUB | 6.12 Mb The extraordinary story of the theft of priceless Chinese antiques around the world and the connection to crimes spanning more than two centuries-with present-day implications. For the past decade, the art world has been rocked by a series of very costly and elaborately planned heists at major museums. The first took place the night of August 6, 2010 at the Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm, Sweden - the official residence of the Swedish Royal family. Others in France, Great Britain and other countries in Europe followed. In Norway, masked men rappelled down from a glass ceiling into the prestigious Kode Museum on Bergen's picturesque central square, three blocks from police headquarters. In all of these break-ins, the thieves made away with ancient Chinese artifacts, most of which were originally displayed in the spectacular Old Summer Palace outside of Beijing nearly two centuries ago. In The Great Chinese Art Heist, bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo takes us back to the Second Opium War and the sacking of Old Summer Palace by French and British troops in 1860 and connects it to the current wave of heists that seem right out of a Mission: Impossible movie. Comprehensive, balanced, entertaining, and expertly balancing diverse cultural and political perspectives, Pezzullo links these looted artifacts and roots of colonialism to today's billionaires and triad gangs, international banks and drug cartels. The wounds of the past, which is still called the "Century of Humiliation" in China, remain raw. The Great Chinese Art Heist is a sweeping narrative filled with the voices of those who have lived it-art and art crime experts, and museum and government officials in China, Europe, and the US. In this riveting true crime, Pezzulo expertly grapples with the questions of ownership and cultural heritage, and embodies the words of art critic Holland Cotter-"The history of art is, in large part, a theft of history."
