Princes of Ash: Royals of Forsyth U (Royals of Forsyth University Book 8)
“To create is to reign.”
The phrase uttered by the Princes of Forsyth is no longer a motto, but a harsh truth: I’m carrying the East End heir.
My pregnancy announcement wasn’t the only bomb dropped at the Princes’ annual Valentine’s Day party. I’d revealed to the entire world that Rufus Ashby is an abusive man who rules his sons with a sadistic bent, terrorizing them into becoming the best soldiers a father can create.
Turns out, I’m not the only one fighting for survival in this house of horrors.
Whitaker- He’s beautiful and broken, and though my betrayal of him may be my biggest regret, he makes it difficult to feel guilty.
Pace- The same paranoia which makes him viciously cling to the things he loves also drives him to lock them away.
Lex- His brilliance is matched only by his loyalty, but there’s two sides to the man who wanders into my room at night.
It’s not just the Palace that’s haunted by evil men; it’s the very soil the structure is built on. I’ll soon come to find the traumatic bonds that link my Princes to one another are more than mere shackles.
If I want the Monarchs to succeed, if I want this baby to have a chance, if I want to survive…
I have no choice but to break the ties of the Ashby brothers the same way I destroy the Palace.
Brick by brick.

Principles of International Energy Transition Law
Energy transition is a complex global problem, with governance and policies cutting across multiple legal silos including human rights, environment, international economics, finance, energy, law of the sea, and transnational commerce. As of yet, there is no comprehensive treatment of the legal principles governing energy transition as a whole. Furthermore, energy transition must solve a trilemma that pits energy equity (the need to provide access to energy needed to
fuel human development) and energy security (the need to provide resilient and reliable energy systems) against environmental sustainability. Without a comprehensive understanding of these issues, law and policy-makers risk exacerbating rather than resolving the underlying problems.Principles of International Energy Transition Law introduces the energy transition problem by situating the climate emergency in its broader energy and development context, showing how global energy value chains are deeply enmeshed in and drive global economic and human development. It combines the different legal perspectives in one consistent analysis by outlining their interactions and showing how they can be reconciled. The book discusses thirty-two international legal principles
governing different aspects of the energy transition trilemma’s three parts. It then uses a commons governance perspective to propose a holistic approach to applying and balancing these different parts and their different legal principles.Highlighted sections summarise the most important concepts and ideas for easy reference, making the title particularly accessible for students and policy-makers as well as law practitioners.

Profit over Privacy: How Surveillance Advertising Conquered the Internet
A deep dive into the political roots of advertising on the internet
The contemporary internet’s de facto business model is one of surveillance. Browser cookies follow us around the web, Amazon targets us with eerily prescient ads, Facebook and Google read our messages and analyze our patterns, and apps record our every move. In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising.
The first institutional and political history of internet advertising, Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet’s rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called “surveillance advertising.” He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance.
The dominant business model on the internet, surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.

Punk 57
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance…“We were perfect together. Until we met.”
Misha
I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.
In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.
It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…
And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.
We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?
Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone.
What are the chances? F*ck it. I need to meet her. I just don’t expect to hate what I find.
Ryen
He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.
Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening.
It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his phone number or picture or something. He could be gone forever.
Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

He didn’t want to know those sorts of things about the people closest to him. I couldn’t blame him. The toy wasn’t just your typical eight-inch, pink and vibrating variety. This thing was a monster, made for two people to use at the same time, with two heads and everything!But I couldn’t help myself but to prank him. So, I took the foot-long toy back to his bedroom and shoved it under his mattress. Of course, Dalton caught on very quick. And when he confronted me, it turned into a game of wits and one-upmanship. When Dalton accused me of being “small” in my shorts, I knew I couldn’t let it stand, so we decided to have a little contest. The loser was going to have to use the toy on themselves while the other watched, and reveled in the humiliation.

I’m straight, and I know Dalton is, too. But for that afternoon, we were putting our straightness on pause, because we were getting down and dirty with not just the big, dirty toy we’d found, but with each other, too…

Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation: Why Physicists Are Studying Human Consciousness and AI to Unravel the Mysteries of the Universe
Distant galaxies, dark matter, black holes – elusive, incomprehensible and inhospitable – these are the building blocks of modern physics. But where do we fit in this picture?For centuries, we have separated mind from matter. While physicists have pursued a theory of ‘everything’ with single-minded purpose, the matter of the mind, of human consciousness, has been conveniently sidestepped and ignored – consigned to priests, philosophers and poets.
With the ambition of Stephen Hawking, Carlo Rovelli and Brian Cox, Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation sets out a bold new vision for theoretical physics, unrestricted by sleek equations and neat formulations. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest in quantum mechanics, acclaimed writer Musser offers a new interpretation of human consciousness. From bizarre cognitive phenomena, like lucid dreaming and self-taught synaesthesia, to the latest technological developments in AI, Musser asks: what can physics teach us about what it means to be human?

Quantum Machine Learning: Thinking and Exploration in Neural Network Models for Quantum Science and Quantum Computing (Quantum Science and Technology)
This book presents a new way of thinking about quantum mechanics and machine learning by merging the two. Quantum mechanics and machine learning may seem theoretically disparate, but their link becomes clear through the density matrix operator which can be readily approximated by neural network models, permitting a formulation of quantum physics in which physical observables can be computed via neural networks. As well as demonstrating the natural affinity of quantum physics and machine learning, this viewpoint opens rich possibilities in terms of computation, efficient hardware, and scalability. One can also obtain trainable models to optimize applications and fine-tune theories, such as approximation of the ground state in many body systems, and boosting quantum circuits’ performance. The book begins with the introduction of programming tools and basic concepts of machine learning, with necessary background material from quantum mechanics and quantum information also provided. This enables the basic building blocks, neural network models for vacuum states, to be introduced. The highlights that follow include: non-classical state representations, with squeezers and beam splitters used to implement the primary layers for quantum computing; boson sampling with neural network models; an overview of available quantum computing platforms, their models, and their programming; and neural network models as a variational ansatz for many-body Hamiltonian ground states with applications to Ising machines and solitons. The book emphasizes coding, with many open source examples in Python and TensorFlow, while MATLAB and Mathematica routines clarify and validate proofs. This book is essential reading for graduate students and researchers who want to develop both the requisite physics and coding knowledge to understand the rich interplay of quantum mechanics and machine learning.Read more

Raw Unfiltered Demented Episodes: RUDE
This is a collection of short and slightly insane stories that I have managed to create over these past few years.The stories range from comedy all the way to horror, and everything in between! Every story is littered with profanity, so be warned!
As ridiculous as most of the stories are, there is some truths behind each story of things I have experienced first hand, or through my peers – albeit slightly exaggerated!
Most of the stories are written in Scottish slang, specifically from the West Coast of Scotland, I just find that it adds to the humour.

Rebus: The Early Years: Knots And Crosses, Hide And Seek and Tooth And Nail
‘Ian Rankin is a genius’ Lee Child
Knots and Crosses
The very first Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author.
‘And in Edinburgh of all places. I mean, you never think of that sort of thing happening in Edinburgh, do you…?’
‘That sort of thing’ is the brutal abduction and murder of two young girls. And now a third is missing, presumably gone to the same sad end. Detective Sergeant John Rebus, smoking and drinking too much, his own young daughter spirited away south by his disenchanted wife, is one of many policemen hunting the killer.
And then the messages begin to arrive: knotted string and matchstick crosses – taunting Rebus with pieces of a puzzle only he can solve.
Hide and Seek
Inspector Rebus returns in the second novel from ‘Britain’s No.1 crime writer’ (DAILY MIRROR).
A junkie lies dead in an Edinburgh squat, spreadeagled, cross-like on the floor, between two burned-down candles, a five-pointed star daubed on the wall above.
Just another dead addict – until John Rebus begins to chip away at the indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurks behind the facade of the Edinburgh familiar to tourists.
Only Rebus seems to care about a death which looks more like a murder every day, about a seductive danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his mind…
Tooth and Nail
Rebus is back, this time on the tail of a serial killer known as the Wolfman…
They call him the Wolfman – because he takes a bite out of his victims and because they found the first victim in the East End’s lonely Wolf Street. Scotland Yard are anxious to find the killer and Inspector Rebus is drafted in to help. But his Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn’t happy at yet more interference, and Rebus finds himself dealing with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac.
When Rebus is offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive female psychologist, it’s too good an opportunity to miss. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.

I’m not really Redfang royalty.
I might not even be a real omega.
But if the guys keep bulldozing my lies, you’re about to meet the real me.
I’m Marisol Redfang, and I’m done hiding my claws.
Redfang Royal is a whychoose omegaverse that includes profanity, consensual spice (with MM pairings), and a mix of darker themes and humor. It is technically a standalone novel, but you’ll have more fun if you’ve already read Pack Darling.

Reflection
I was given the beautiful gift of love. But I did not protect it. I saw something shiny – a world more exciting than the one I had and I became greedy. Now I spend my days and nights thinking about the life I once lived, reflecting on a love so effulgent and true. I can’t go back, and I can’t move on. I try to focus on the present with the occasional thought of the future, but my mind will not obey and it keeps taking me back to Elizabeth. She did right by me and she can move on with her head held high. I was once told that true love never dies, now fate is about to put it to the test.Read more
