Book excerpt: In an alternate Roman Empire, the ultimate battle is being waged for domination of the multiverse in the epic conclusion of the war for a million Earths There are a million different Earths across an infinite number of timelines—and every one of them is in peril. John Barnes’s ingenious science fiction saga the Timeline Wars reaches a breathtaking climax in Caesar’s Bicycle as former Pittsburgh private investigator–turned–Crux Op agent Mark Strang pursues the alien Closer enemy to a new battleground: an alternate ancient Rome of Caesar and Pompey. Strang’s investigation into the disappearance of a fellow ATN operative has carried him along a new timeline to a Roman Empire at once strikingly similar and remarkably different from the one recalled in history books on his own Earth. What he discovers is a world in the process of radical transformation through the introduction of new technologies, centuries before their time, by both sides in the war for the multiverse—enemy Closers and ATN alike. And this time, Strang’s mission carries a new urgency, for the timelines are becoming dangerously unstable and mysteriously starting to close. To prevent the total enslavement of every one of the million Earths, Strang himself will now have to make history. But by ensuring that an infamous assassination actually does take place, Mark Strang could be condemning himself to the most horrible death the Romans ever devised.

Book Synopsis Life after Capitalism by : George Gilder
Download or read book Life after Capitalism written by George Gilder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of national bestseller Life After Google and generation-defining Wealth and Poverty, venture capitalist, futurist, and pioneering thinker extraordinaire George Gilder pinpoints how the clash of creativity with power at the heart of economic systems leads to global cognitive dissonance and argues that the creation of the novel taps capitalism's infinite promise and is humanity's only path of escape from stagnation and tyranny. Gilder once more rocks the archetypes of modern information theory and economics with a paradigm-shifting salvo of sheer brilliance. The capitalist era is over—get ready for life after capitalism. For more than two hundred years, capitalism spread wealth around the globe, bringing unprecedented prosperity and progress, liberating human potential. But something has gone terribly wrong in the world economy. Creativity and faith in the future—capitalism’s crucial ingredients—seem to have run out. The elites think they can maintain a nation’s wealth by printing money and investing it in favored industries. Their trust in bureaucratic experts, their cautionary paranoia, and their delusional belief that they can “control” everything from the spread of a virus to the weather, are sucking the life out of the economy. Ordinary people, their freedoms restricted, their prospects dim, are losing their faith in their institutions. Such misguided corporatism and pride, confusion and despair, are the result of a deep misunderstanding of capitalism itself. The bestselling futurist and venture capitalist George Gilder explains why economics is not an incentive system to be manipulated but an information system to be freed. Material resources are essentially as plentiful as the atoms of the universe. What drives economic growth in a free market is our limitless human ingenuity and creativity. Prophetic, inspiring, and paradigm-shifting, Life after Capitalism is a once-in- a-generation classic.

Humorous and acute, they explain, and protest at, the Caesars, and they sit perfectly among Aesop's sadistic lions, murderous wolves, and apes in purple."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Tricycle Days 1881-1888 by : Lost Century of Sports Collection
Download or read book Tricycle Days 1881-1888 written by Lost Century of Sports Collection and published by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-wheelers kickstarted the cycling fad for women in the 1880s. Two-wheelers at the time were the old-time high-wheel “ordinaries” or “penny-farthings,” which were difficult for most women to mount and impossible to pedal in long dresses. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features 90 articles (148,000 words) from 1881 to 1888, when tricycles were the most popular mode of transportation for women (and many men) seeking independent mobility on wheels. Three-wheel designs varied greatly, from single operator to dual rider models, called “sociables” in which the riders sat side-by-side, and “tandems” with riders seated front and back. Wheel sizes and alignments also differed as manufacturers sought the most efficient mechanisms for pedaling, steering and braking. Early tricycles were heavy and cumbersome, weighing up to 100 pounds. The weight gradually decreased as manufacturing and metallurgical methods improved. The first 49 articles in this volume, span the heyday of tricycling, covering the lively debate over women's embrace of the wheel, proper riding attire, and adventures on the road. Contributors include the popular cycling writers Mary Sargent Hopkins and Minna Caroline Smith. Five diary-style entries follow, written by Amy Hurlston of England. The volume closes with an obscure column, “Woman on a Tricycle,” published in The Sunday Leader newspaper in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The anonymous author is a spirited iconoclast who challenged societal norms with unapologetic rebellion. She offers unfiltered regional observations on broader cultural issues as well as keen details about cycling. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.
