Book excerpt: A riveting, swoon-worthy teen romance centered on two high achievers fighting for the title of high school valedictorian and falling in love along the way, from debut author Danielle Parker. Sasha Johnson-Sun might not know everything—like how to fully heal after her dad’s passing or how many more Saturdays her mom can spend cleaning houses. But the one thing Sasha is certain of? She will graduate this year as Skyline High’s class valedictorian. At least, she was sure before the principal calls Sasha and her cute, effortlessly gifted ex–best friend, Ezra Davis-Goldberg, into his office to deliver earth-shattering news: they’re tied for valedictorian and the scholarship attached… This outcome can’t be left to chance. So, Sasha and Ezra agree on a best-of-three, winner-take-all academic bet. As they go head-to-head, they are forced not only to reexamine why they drifted apart but also to figure out who they’ve become since. With her future hanging in the balance, Sasha must choose: honor her family’s sacrifices by winning (at all costs) or give her heart a shot at finding happiness?

Book excerpt: One of America’s top physicians traces the history of risk in medicine—with powerful lessons for today Every medical decision—whether to have chemotherapy, an X-ray, or surgery—is a risk, no matter which way you choose. In You Bet Your Life, physician Paul A. Offit argues that, from the first blood transfusions four hundred years ago to the hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine, risk has been essential to the discovery of new treatments. More importantly, understanding the risks is crucial to whether, as a society or as individuals, we accept them. Told in Offit’s vigorous and rigorous style, You Bet Your Life is an entertaining history of medicine. But it also lays bare the tortured relationships between intellectual breakthroughs, political realities, and human foibles. Our pandemic year has shown us, with its debates over lockdowns, masks, and vaccines, how easy it is to get everything wrong.

Book Synopsis You Bet Your Life: Your Guide to Deadly Risk by : Sheila Buff
Download or read book You Bet Your Life: Your Guide to Deadly Risk written by Sheila Buff and published by WW Norton. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gritty and granular truth behind the wagers we make with our lives every single day—and, if we’re unlucky, just once in a lifetime. What are your chances of living through the next 24 hours? This week? This month? This decade? Will your job kill you? Your car kill you? Your spouse kill you? Will your own bad habits kill you? Or will a rogue asteroid just kill us all? Each time you lay your head on the pillow at night or set your feet on the floor come morning, you bet your life. Exactly what odds do you face 24/7? You Bet Your Life applies to you, the individual, the analytical approach insurance companies use to calculate risk: actuarial science. The result is a comprehensive, encyclopedic, real world assessment of more than 1,000 of the risks we take every day of our all-too-finite lives, from boarding an airplane to tempting a shark attack by dipping a toe in the ocean. You Bet Your Life is introduced by an authoritative essay explaining how professional actuaries calculate risk and how less objective entities—in government, finance, science, technology, and religion—apply their own competing calculi of risk and reward.

Book Synopsis The Guardian Projects by : James Herbert Edwards
Download or read book The Guardian Projects written by James Herbert Edwards and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Jim Edwards, a human; I fly a spaceship named Merlin, who thinks hes human. Since my last book I have acquired a full crew, full of what I dont know. My second in command, though technically not yet recognized by the Alliance, is the sole surviving member of a race of artificially constructed living creatures known as the Betapherim. My seconds name is Mephis, short for the devilish name, Mephistopheles. Then there is crazy Bill, the Teeber, who communicates by thought not word, and consequently has taught Merlin, Mephis and me how to do it, too. Bill also taught me how to use the power of the Claw, as in Claw of Catau, as in, Bills planet, home of the Teeber. It is a mental thing, so dont ask me to explain it, I cant. All I know is it works very well on your enemy, extremely well. Its probably a good thing I have the Claw because war breaks out again between the Alliance and the Tayhest and everyone thinks Im the guy to stop it. It seems there is a legend about the Bojaja, a powerful being known as the Drexa and a singular event also known as the Drexa. And Im supposed to be part of it, can you believe that? If thats not enough to give me a headache, a force known only as the Light appears out of nowhere and really screws with me, almost killing me at one point before disappearing, hopefully, forever. Back on Earth, also known as Tara, I find my true love, Joan, again, and find out she is also part of the great Bojaja Legend. We manage to stop a rebel kidnapping and visit ancient Mayan ruins. Taking a break in space, I find myself rescuing one of my space children, born to a Nack female, yes we did, and then shooting up the Lussecan home world because the bastards deserve it. And so the adventures continue as I find out there is a lot more going on out in space then just guarding my part of the galaxy, a whole helluva lot more. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Jim

Download or read book STAR Academy: Dark Secrets written by Edward Kay and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming, funny middle-grade novel that combines action, adventure, science, and a big dose of satire from a talented voice in children's literature. It takes a lot to get four kid geniuses together, even when they're all alumni of the now-shuttered Superior Thinking and Advanced Research Academy. Eleven-year-old leader-of-the-pack, Amanda Forsythe, needs to escape the cluthes of her manicacally entrepreneurial father, determined as he is to captialize on Amanda's fame for outsmarting a pair of aliens posing as teachers at the Academy. And Derek, Evelyn, and Sanjay are separately pursuing their own research projects in different schools around the world, desperate to continue the technological advances they began at the STAR Academy. Only the world's richest man could bring them all together--and that's exactly what George Snootman offers to do. But can they really trust the father of Eugenia, their nemesis at the STAR Academy? Probably not--but his offer is just too tempting. Besides, Amanda is pretty confident she and her friends can outfox him, even if he does seem as ruthlessly determined as the aliens before him to misuse their work for his own means....
