A stunning and provocative new novel by the internationally celebrated author of The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize

Margaret Atwood's new novel is so utterly compelling, so prescient, so relevant, so terrifyingly-all-too-likely-to-be-true, that readers may find their view of the world forever changed after reading it.

With breathtaking command of her shocking material and with her customary sharp wit and dark humour, Atwood projects us into a conceivable future of our own world, an outlandish yet wholly believable place left devastated in the wake of ecological and scientific disaster and populated by characters who will continue to inhabit your dreams long after the book is closed.

This is Margaret Atwood at the absolute peak of her powers. For readers of Oryx and Crake, nothing will ever look the same again.

Description:

The City of Perfection had remained hidden for over 300 years, encased in a glass pyramid with walls too thick to see through. Many had encountered the pyramid, deep within the forest, but ignored its presence. It appeared to be nothing more than a dilapidated remnant of the old world. No one could have guessed that it housed an entire city of women, each identical to one another. Claire is just one of hundreds of clones in Perfection who believe that the world had been destroyed by a nuclear war. Certain death awaits any woman who goes outside. She detests her job and lack of individuality, but finds solace in forbidden books until her best friend threatens to turn her in. Claire is distraught, but when she finds a tunnel leading out of the pyramid she sees a way to end her suffering. She leaves her home behind, expecting instant death, but instead finds herself surrounded by life.

epub | 18.32 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B0BB83D9XB | Author: Alan G. Jamieson | Year: 2022

Description:

A highly illustrated voyage through shipwrecks ancient and contemporary.

Out of the Depths explores all aspects of shipwrecks across four thousand years, examining their historical context and significance, showing how shipwrecks can be time capsules, and shedding new light on long-departed societies and civilizations. Alan G. Jamieson not only informs readers of the technological developments over the last sixty years that have made the true appreciation of shipwrecks possible, but he also covers shipwrecks in culture and maritime archaeology, their appeal to treasure hunters, and their environmental impacts. Although shipwrecks have become less common in recent decades, their implications have become more wide-ranging: since the 1960s, foundering supertankers have caused massive environmental disasters, and in 2021, the blocking of the Suez Canal by the giant container ship Ever Given had a serious effect on global trade.

Lord Zebulon makes me want to fall to my knees with a single glance.
And Zane recently shattered my heart.

And ten days to find out who framed me for murder.
Man, sometimes being a succubus really sucks.

epub | 3.47 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B073YZZZBL | Author: Dean Radin PhD | Year: 2018

Description:

The chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes.
According to noted scientist and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.
But wait, aren't things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked on the US government's top secret psychic espionage program known as Stargate. Radin has spent the last forty years conducting controlled experiments that demonstrate that thoughts are things, that we can sense others' emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition is more powerful than we thought, and that we can tap into the power of intention (think The Secret, only on a more realistic and scientific level)....
