Descirption: A leading social researcher explains why humans so consistently misunderstand the outside world
How often are women harassed? What percentage of the population are immigrants? How bad is unemployment? These questions are important, but most of us get the answers wrong. Research sho that people often wildly misunderstand the state of the world, regardless of age, sex, or education. And though the internet brings us unprecedented access to information, there's little evidence we're any better informed because of it.
We may blame cognitive bias or fake ne, but neither tells the complete story. In Why We're Wrong About Nearly Everything, Bobby Duffy dra on his research into public perception across more than forty countries, offering a sweeping account of the stubborn problem of human delusion: how society breeds it, why it will never go away, and what our misperceptions say about what we really believe.
We won't always know the...

Descirption: Soon to be adapted for television by Carnival, creators of Downton Abbey
An Indie Next Pick
A Science Fiction Book Club Pick
Bestselling author of The Oracle Year, Charles Soule brings his signature knowledge-and wariness - of technology to his new novel set in a realistic future about a brilliant female scientist who creates a technology that allo for the transfer of human consciousness between bodies, and the transformations this process wreaks upon the world.
Inside a barn in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a scientist searching for an Alzheimer's cure thro a switch-and finds herself mysteriously transported into her husband's body. What begins as a botched experiment will change her life-and the world-forever.
Over two decades later, all across the planet, "flash" technology allo individuals the ability to transfer their consciousness into other bodies for specified periods, paid, registered and legal. Society has been utterly transformed by the process, from travel to warfare to entertainment; "Be anyone with Anyone" the tagline of the company offering this ultimate out-of-body experience. But beyond the reach of the law and government regulators is a sordid black market called the darkshare, where desperate "vessels" anonymously rent out their bodies, no questions asked for any purpose - sex, drugs, crime... or worse. Anyone masterfully interweaves the present-day story of the discovery and development of the flash with the gritty tale of one woman's crusade to put an end to the darkness it has brought to the world twenty-five years after its creation.
Like Blade Runner crossed with Get Out , Charles Soule's thought-provoking work of speculative fiction takes us to a world where identity, morality, and technology collide.
Review
"[ Anyone ] is fast-paced and suspenseful. Soule's uncomfortable vision of the future will please readers of cutting-edge speculative fiction." -- "Publishers Weekly"
About the Author

Descirption: Under the watchful eye of The Company, three characters - Grayson, Morse and Chen - shapeshifters, amorphous, part human, part extensions of the landscape, make their way through forces that would consume them. A blue fox, a giant fish and language stretched to the limit.
A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden.
Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a City with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth - all the Earths.
Review
Praise for <span style="font-weight: 600; font-style: italic">Borne : 'Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy was an ever-creeping map of the apocalypse; with Borne he continues his investigation into the malevolent grace of the world, and it's a thorough marvel ' Colson Whitehead 'Jeff VanderMeer's deeply strange and brilliant new novel extends the meditation on the central question of non-human sentience in his earlier work . No one writes a post-apocalyptic landscape like VanderMeer , so detailed and strange in all its lineaments and topography' Neel Mukherjee, Guardian 'From being a very successful SF writer, VanderMeer will become mainstream - and Borne is full of signs that he is already thinking ahead of that easy transition, and perhaps subverting it' Toby Litt, New Statesman
Praise for <span style="font-weight: 600; font-style: italic">The Southern Reach Trilogy : ' Creepy and fascinating ' Stephen King 'Hauntingly weird and brilliantly new . These are contemporary masterpieces and career-defining novels ' Adam Robert, Books of the Year, Guardian ' This trilogy is a modern mycological masterpiece . Remarkable . Tense, eerie and unsettling . VanderMeer writes much better prose than Poe ever did . This is genuinely potent and dream-haunting writing. VanderMeer has arrived' Guardian 'A teeming science fiction that dra on Conrad and Lovecraft alike . Annihilation sho signs of being the novel that will allow VanderMeer to break through to a new and larger audience' Sunday Telegraph

Descirption: A guide to managing inflammation and pain with 125+ recipes proving that you don't need to sacrifice delicious food to eat healthfully and be pain free, from celebrity chef and The Chew co-host Michael Symon
"Michael fixed himself with irresistible recipes that just happened to be healthy. Now you can enjoy healing yourself as well."-Mehmet Oz, MD, attending surgeon, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University
When Michael Symon found out he had rheumatoid arthritis and external lupus, he suspected that what he ate-or didn't eat-could make a profound difference in his levels of inflammation and how he felt. So he committed to a food "reset" on The Chew-no red meat, white flour, sugar, dairy, or alcohol.
Michael used social media to share his experiment with his fans, and was shocked by the outcome: after completing the reset, he felt amazing. He discovered that dairy, sugar, and processed...

Descirption: The doctrine of materialism is one of the most controversial in the history of ideas. For much of its history it has been aligned with toleration and enlightened thinking, but it has also aroused strong, often violent, passions amongst both its opponents and proponents. This book explores the development of materialism in an engaging and thought-provoking way and defends the form it takes in the twenty-first century.Opening with an account of the ideas of some of the most important thinkers in the materialist tradition, including Epicurus, Lucretius, Hobbes, Hume, Darwin and Marx, the authors discuss materialism's origins, as an early form of naturalistic explanation and as an intellectual outlook about life and the world in general. They explain how materialism's beginnings as an imaginative vision of the true nature of things faced a major challenge from the physics it did so much to facilitate, which now portrays the microscopic world in a way incompatible with traditional materialism. Brown and Ladyman explain how out of this challenge materialism developed into the new doctrine of physicalism.Drawing on a wide range of colourful examples, the authors argue that although materialism does not have all the answers, its humanism and commitment to naturalistic explanation and the scientific method is our best philosophical hope in the ideological maelstrom of the modern world.
