A WALL STREET JOURNAL Best Science Fiction Book of 2017!

In this science fiction thriller, brothers are pitted against each other as a pandemic threatens to destabilize world governments by exerting a subtle mind control over survivors.

Neil Johns has just started his dream job as a code breaker in the NSA when his brother, Paul, a mycologist, goes missing on a trip to collect samples in the Amazon jungle. Paul returns with a gap in his memory and a fungal infection that almost kills him. But once he recuperates, he has enhanced communication, memory, and pattern recognition. Meanwhile, something is happening in South America; others, like Paul, have also fallen ill and recovered with abilities they didn't have before.

But that's not the only pattern--the survivors, from entire remote Brazilian tribes to American tourists, all seem to be working toward a common, and deadly, goal. Neil soon uncovers a secret and unexplained alliance between governments that have traditionally been enemies. Meanwhile Paul becomes increasingly secretive and erratic.

Paul sees the fungus as the next stage of human evolution, while Neil is convinced that it is driving its human hosts to destruction. Brother must oppose brother on an increasingly fraught international stage, with the stakes: the free will of every human on earth. Can humanity use this force for good, or are we becoming the pawns of an utterly alien intelligence?

Das Leben des Physikprofessors Jacob Kelley gerät völlig aus den Fugen, als eines Tages sein alter Freund Brian vor der Tür steht und behauptet, auf eine außerirdische Quantum-Intelligenz gestoßen zu sein. Als Brian auf Jacobs Frau schießt, verprügelt Jacob seinen alten Freund und wirft ihn aus dem Haus. Wenig später wird Jacob wegen Mordes an Brian verhaftet. Doch er kann Brian nicht getötet haben, schließlich war er zur Tatzeit zu Hause – wo er sich Brians Theorie über die Quantum-Intelligenz anhörte. Als Jacob versucht, das Rätsel zu lösen, stellt er fest, dass die Gesetze von Raum und Zeit nicht mehr gelten ...

Chronic pain affects huge numbers of people – the WHO estimates that 37–41% of people across developed and developing countries suffer, and the figure rises in countries like the UK where the population is ageing. From arthritis to migraine, back pain to diabetes, chronic pain is a huge problem for individuals, their families and carers, health providers and employers. David Walton, a clinical and cognitive psychologist who experiences chronic pain himself, guides readers through an understanding of the nature of pain; how the body and mind react to it; how to minimise pain; and how to choose the right therapies, medication and relief strategies. Modern research is presented in an engaging and positive way, alongside self-assessment questionnaires, case studies and practical do’s and don’ts. Through an understanding of pain mechanisms and relief strategies, readers will be enabled to manage their symptoms better and regain some control over their daily lives.

Неумение считывать эмоции людей приводит к ссорам, затяжному недовольству, обидам, разводам и несостоявшимся сделкам. Всего этого можно избежать, если освоить навык "эмоциональной разведки" и научиться распознавать чувства, которые вы и ваш собеседник испытываете во время общения.

Дэвид Уолтон, много лет занимавший должность главного психолога при Научно-исследовательском институте социального развития ООН, в этой книге предлагает простую систему развития эмоционального интеллекта. Она состоит из 4 основных элементов: "Самосознание", "Управление своими эмоциями", "Понимание поведения и чувств других людей", "Управление отношениями при помощи эффективных социальных навыков". Вас ждет подробное изучение каждого элемента, тесты и авторские задания для закрепления материла. Дэвид уверен, что эмоциональный интеллект может развить каждый человек, в независимости от врожденных качеств и воспитания.

When the two accidentally release a sophisticated virus called a 'slicer' into the net, Mark must try to stem the tide of casualties before the charged political situation explodes. But the slicer is more than a virus. To destroy it, Mark must first sort truth from lies, not only for himself, but for the mind of the child who holds his fate.
