Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailors are a notoriously superstitious lot - even if some won't admit it. Years of taking to the water, at the mercy of uncontrollable (and sometimes deadly) forces, have led even the wisest to seek ways of influencing the gods or fate. From bad omens and odd rituals to lucky tokens and forbidden words, the superstitions of the sea are legion. Many of these superstitions have refused to go away and quite a few have entered the general public consciousness. Some are amusing in their own right, others have fascinating origins, whilst for many there are bizarre anecdotal incidents which would appear to lend credence to these arcane beliefs. Illustrated with quirky cartoons, this book explores nautical superstitions from all over the world in an informative yet entertaining way. Includes superstitions about: Boatbuilding, naming and launching; Lucky and unlucky dates to sail; People, things and animals not to let on board; Signs and portents at sea; Words not to say (and their alternatives); Predicting the weather; Fishing; and much, much more!

Book excerpt: The concept of luck has played an important role in debates concerning free will and moral responsibility, yet participants in these debates have relied upon an intuitive notion of what luck is. Neil Levy develops an account of luck, which is then applied to the free will debate. He argues that the standard luck objection succeeds against common accounts of libertarian free will, but that it is possible to amend libertarian accounts so that they are no more vulnerable to luck than is compatibilism. But compatibilist accounts of luck are themselves vulnerable to a powerful luck objection: historical compatibilisms cannot satisfactorily explain how agents can take responsibility for their constitutive luck; non-historical compatibilisms run into insurmountable difficulties with the epistemic condition on control over action. Levy argues that because epistemic conditions on control are so demanding that they are rarely satisfied, agents are not blameworthy for performing actions that they take to be best in a given situation. It follows that if there are any actions for which agents are responsible, they are akratic actions; but even these are unacceptably subject to luck. Levy goes on to discuss recent non-historical compatibilisms, and argues that they do not offer a viable alternative to control-based compatibilisms. He suggests that luck undermines our freedom and moral responsibility no matter whether determinism is true or not.

Book excerpt: Some people see things as they are and turn them happily out of shape while retaining the core. That is the essence of humour and only a few individuals are blessed with felicity to take everyday situations and give them an extra dimension. Nickunj has this talent in abundance and adds to it that equally rare capacity of her subject. Whether she is messing about experimenting in the kitchen or declaring war on the weighing machine or pulling apart siblings, her 'inside' takes on life as she sees it is replete with lashings of laughter and a refreshing warmth that comes from employing humour sans malice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Luck Sir... Sorry You Lose! is a lighthearted, sometimes quirky, look at the Las Vegas gaming business, through the eyes of a casino dealer. It follows the author's dealing career, told in chronological order, from 1980 until his retirement in 2018. During that time, he experienced lessons that were never taught in dealer's school, such as staying composed while encountering irate and contemptible personalities. And those were just the other dealers. Our author also delves into the mind-set of the true gambler. From the desperation of the local player trying to parlay his meager buy-in into the two-week late rent on his apartment, to the high-rolling whale who thinks nothing of continuing to wager two hundred thousand dollars per hand in baccarat. Throughout this book, there is some laughter and there is tragedy, but in the end, one comes to realize that this truly is a study in humanity.

This permits the mutation carriers to obtain life-saving care, altering the natural history of the disease for his family and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Mel Odom returns to the magical world of the Forgotten Realms with this action-packed, high-seas adventure Long ago, Liou Chang wrote of magic, portals—and how to use them both to one's advantage. Now, Shang-Li and his father search for the Shou monk's lost works, desperate to prevent his knowledge from being twisted to evil ends. If in the wrong hands, such knowledge could spell disaster for all of Faerûn. Their quest takes them to the dangers of the high-seas, where they discover a sunken ship beneath the Sea of Fallen Stars—and the dark sorceress who sank it. Allying with the vilest monsters of Faerûn, the Blue Lady wants to expand her empire beneath the waves, overcome the surface, and destroy the enemies who imprisoned her in the deep. And to do so, she will need what Shang-Li and his father seek—the ancient books they are trying so hard to protect from creatures like her. The Wrath of the Blue Lady is the fourth and final installment in The Wilds, a series of standalone novels set in iconic Dungeons & Dragons settings. Magically distorted landscapes, jungle islands teeming with reptilian monsters, wide frontiers touched by another plane, or deep under the surface of the sea–adventure is waiting.
