A great deal has been written about early modern temporality, both by scholars of Renaissance drama and historians of chronometry. Much of the former has focused, unsurprisingly, on Shakespeare. This book seeks to broaden the discussion of temporality and the early modern stage by focusing on “our other Shakespeare” – Thomas Middleton, a writer preoccupied with issues of time, chronometry, and temporality. In this first book length study of Middleton’s portrayal of time, his representations of clocks and calendars are explored as a way of understanding early modern time consciousness. Middleton, more than any other playwright of his era, was aware of the alienating qualities of these chronometric devices and showed how the subject’s experience of time was influenced by them, while also demonstrating how choices in chronometry were influenced by gender, class and religious identity. As a result, his texts explore the complex intersections between sexuality, economic systems, and temporality in the early modern world.

Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans-predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth-and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world. Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our lives, our businesses, and our governments. Coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical understanding of incentives and market behavior, Thaler enlightens readers about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world. He reveals how behavioral economic analysis opens up new ways to look at everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new building, to TV game shows, the NFL draft, and businesses like Uber. Laced with antic stories of Thaler's spirited battles with the bastions of traditional economic thinking, Misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles. When economics meets psychology, the implications for individuals, managers, and policy makers are both profound and entertaining.

Time is relative! Award-winning illustrator Torben Kuhlmann's brilliant new book bends time and imagination. Bank Street 2022 Best Children's Books of the Year list September/October Indie Next Kids Pick, 2021 Society of Illustrators Original Art, 2021 National Science Teachers Association 2022 Best STEM Books, December 2021 Bronze Winner– INDIES Book of the Year Award, 2021 When an inventive mouse misses the biggest cheese festival the world has ever seen, he's determined to turn back the clock. But what is time, and can it be influenced? With the help of a mouse clockmaker, a lot of inventiveness, and the notes of a certain famous Swiss physicist he succeeds in traveling back in time. But when he misses his goal by eighty years, the only one who can help is an employee of the Swiss Patent Office, who turned our concept of space and time upside down. From the creator of Lindbergh–The Tale of a Flying Mouse, Moletown, Armstrong – The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon, and Edison – The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure comes Einstein. Torben Kuhlmann, in his fourth mouse adventure, explores the question: Suppose Albert Einstein's famous theories first came into being through an encounter with a little mouse? Rave Reviews for Einstein: His unique ability to combine fun, facts, science and biography makes Einstein a real triumph. BookPage, Starred Review "As in Armstrong (2016) and Edison (2018), Kuhlmann employs a mix of narrative and fantastically detailed mouse's-eye-view pencil-and-watercolor scenes to portray a small, furry investigator intrepidly tackling scientific and technological challenges in a human-sized world—here involving old records in a certain Swiss patent office, clock gears and computer parts, trial and error, and equations on chalkboards." - Kirkus, Starred Review

From the creator of 'Necroscope' - three landmark novels of the Cthulhu Mythos: THE SAGA OF TITUS CROW! 'THE BURROWERS BENEATH' In which Crow is alerted to a menace in the earth that gnaws at the very foundations of Man's domination of his home planet - and seeks to usurp him! Two men share a terrible secret and make their lonely stand against subterranean terror. 'THE TRANSITION OF TITUS CROW' Fleeing from the Burrowers, Crow discovers the secrets of time and space and learns the lore of the Great Old Ones. But Lord Cthulhu seeks not only the domination of Earth but the destruction of the Elder Gods and the space-time continuum itself! De Marigny answers Crow's call from the depths of space to join him in the battle for universal sanity against all the forces of evil. 'THE CLOCK OF DREAMS' From fathomless ocean depths, Cthulhu's dreams disturb the minds of men to reshape the waking world. Diverted from his search fro the lost Elysia, de Marigny pilots his space-time machine into subconscious worlds of dream and nightmare in a bid to save the lives and very souls of Titus Crow and Tiania of Elysia. In the companion Volume II: 'Spawn of the Winds, In the Moons of Borea' and 'Elysia!'

Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, shook society to its core on publication in 1859. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke but he would surely have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. In The Greatest Show on Earth Richard Dawkins takes on creationists, including followers of 'Intelligent Design' and all those who question the fact of evolution through natural selection. Like a detective arriving on the scene of a crime, he sifts through fascinating layers of scientific facts and disciplines to build a cast-iron case: from the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects; the 'time clocks' of trees and radioactive dating that calibrate a timescale for evolution; the fossil record and the traces of our earliest ancestors; to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics. All of this, and much more, bears witness to the truth of evolution. The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is now flourishing as never before, especially in America. In Britain and elsewhere in the world, teachers witness insidious attempts to undermine the status of science in their classrooms. Richard Dawkins provides unequivocal evidence that boldly and comprehensively rebuts such nonsense. At the same time he shares with us his palpable love of the natural world and the essential role that science plays in its interpretation. Written with elegance, wit and passion, it is hard-hitting, absorbing and totally convincing.

'Insightful and bracing: a personal and political journey through the seasons' Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley 'A wonderfully unmooring passage through a year that connects to life that is deeper, looser, and more true than the tightly wound, unnatural calendars so many of us keep' Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy 'This book is a precious and life-affirming gift to our hearts and intellects' Rebecca May Johnson, author of Small Fires At festive gatherings celebrating summer's peak, in reflective moments as winter gave way, Rebecca Tamás began to hear another rhythm. A faint hint that, underneath the rush of clocks and calendars, another, richer kind of time might exist. As she suffered from grief and burnout, Tamás sought a deeper connection to the movement of the seasons through an immersion in old folkways. She set out on a journey across the UK guided by the Pagan wheel of the year, marking each solstice, equinox and the midpoints between them with a ritual drawn from ancient traditions. From a confrontation with the sharp pains of winter at Samhain in Edinburgh to a giddy experience of collective joy at Padstow's May Day, she found in these traditional practices electric potential for transforming our relationship to the natural world. Intellectually penetrating and richly lyrical, The Book of Mysteries follows the drumbeat of seasonal ritual towards an immersion in the wild time of the earth. Ecstatic, radical and irreverent, this book is a rallying cry to wrest time away from the structures of work and capital, so as to encounter the life-giving mystery of the natural world.

Seanan McGuire's New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-nominated October Daye series finds Toby Daye torn between caring for her newborn daughter and keeping the world of Faerie-and her found family-safe. October "Toby" Daye is settling into life with a baby, remembering the ins and outs of motherhood, and trying to find ways to balance her work with her desire to keep her baby safe at home and away from all the terrors Faerie has to offer. Her whole household is pitching in, from May all the way down to Raysel, the estranged daughter of Toby's liege lord, who is currently serving out a term of offense in Toby's home. Naturally, as everything is beginning to find a balance, it's time for Raysel's term of offense to end, and Luna Torquill very much wants her daughter back. But Toby has been helping Raysel get the help she desperately needs, from giving her a safe place to hide all the way to finding her a licensed therapist who works with the fae, and Raysel isn't ready to leave. Luna isn't taking no for an answer, and before anyone can realize what she's planning, she steals her own child away to Blind Michael's lands. Not even Luna knows all the terrible secrets her father and his works hid from the world, and not even she can protect her daughter from the monsters in their lineage. All too quickly, Toby must race the clock to save Raysel-before it's too late for her to ever come home. It's been years, but now the question will be asked again: can she get there and back by the light of a candle?

GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK The New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists returns with an intimate yet epic love story-and a sweeping odyssey of scientific discovery. Under Story invites us to consider the promise of this life, what might lie beyond it, and how far we would go for more time with the people we love, cementing Chloe Benjamin's place among our best, and most lasting, storytellers. "We wake up to tomorrow, never yesterday." At the edge of the world, biologist Laurel Salter is hiding from everything she's ever known. For ten hours a day, six days per week, she works as a dishwasher at McMurdo Station, an isolated research base in Antarctica. She tells no one that before she arrived, she was a renowned young scientist with a promising career and a family. But even in this remote outpost, Laurel can't escape her past. When a strange light appears across the ice-and draws a group of physicists to McMurdo-her former husband, Eli, won't be far behind. Laurel is captivated by the Arc: its surreal glow; the way it seems almost alive. And though Eli is reluctant to test her wildest theory, Laurel is convinced that the Arc leads down a rabbit hole and into a world they can barely imagine. Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them-to turn back the clock and live their story a second time? A breathless page-turner and a love letter to our planet, Under Story grapples with the great questions of our time: human hubris, the precarity of the natural world, and the mysterious webs of consciousness that bind us. A modern epic of science and soul, of bravery and redemption, it offers a vision of the future that demands we reckon with what we owe to one another, and to the earth itself.

He can resist any woman in the world...except for the one he shouldn't want. Famed goalkeeper Noah Wilson doesn't do relationships or complications. The only thing the grumpy single dad wants is to do his job and spend more time with his daughter. Unfortunately, his bachelor status has made it impossible to find the right nanny for her. With the World Cup looming and a string of fired nannies in his wake, he has no choice but to hire the last person he wants close to his orbit. She's too stubborn and far too appealing for her own good, but she's also a natural with his daughter. And the way his heart skips a beat whenever she's around? That's nothing more than a coincidence. He's sure of it. *** Carina Vu has a problem. She's worked multiple jobs and saved up for years to fulfill her childhood dream of visiting Antarctica, but just when she's close, an unexpected emergency wipes her account clean. Now, she's back to square one. The clock is ticking, and she needs another job ASAP. Her best (and only) option is to nanny for Noah, the brooding athlete whom she's convinced hates her. But the more time she spends with him and his adorable daughter, the more cracks she sees in his gruff exterior. And the man underneath all that grumpiness? He's enough to make her rethink everything-including what (and who) it is that she actually wants.

Inhalt: Dieses Set enthält alle notwendigen Teile, um 35 Seegardisten von Lothern der Reiche der Hochelfen für Warhammer The Old World zu bauen, sowie passende Bases. Das Set enthält genug Teile, um 2 Kommandoabteilungen zu bauen. Die Modelle bestehen aus Kunststoff, sind unbemalt und müssen zusammengebaut werden. Hintergrund: Die Seegarde von Lothern, auch Seewache genannt, bildet das stehende Heer der Provinz Eataine und ist für den Schutz der prächtigen Küstenstadt Lothern verantwortlich. Diese Eliteeinheit steht rund um die Uhr im Dienst – im Gegensatz zu üblichen Bürgerwehren, die nur zeitweise einberufen werden. Nur in Lothern existiert eine derartige ständige Berufsarmee. Ihre Soldaten sind gleichermaßen geschult für den Kampf auf dem Land wie auf See. Bewaffnet mit Speer, Schild und Bogen, agieren sie in disziplinierten Formationen: Beim Landgang marschieren sie aus den Schiffen durch Gischt und Wellen, Speerspitzen senkrecht und Pfeile gespannt. An Bord übernehmen sie wichtige Aufgaben: Kriegsmaschinen bedienen, Plankenattacken abwehren und die Decks verteidigen. Lotherns Stadtbilder sind ebenfalls von ihrer Präsenz geprägt. Wuchtige Barracks mit geschwungenen Türmchen beherbergen die Seegarde, während Repeater-Bolt-Thrower jeden Hafen vor Feinden schützen. Jährlich wechseln die Einheiten zwischen Meerespatrouille, Einsatz in Kolonien, Rekrutierung und intensivem Training – ein Vierteljahr im Inland und der Rest der Zeit auf See. Unter ihnen ragen die Seeherren von Lothern heraus – erfahrene Anführer, oft auch auf Himmelsseglern reitend. Sie inspirieren die Truppen mit meisterhafter Kriegskunst, während Speerspitze und Bogen zusammenwirken. Ihre Schar wird sorgfältig nach Mut und Geschick ausgewählt, die Besten tragen den Titel „Sea Helm“.

Let's get real-there's a lot more to Chinese romance than meets the eye.

Tanith Lee is one of the finest writers to ever grace the field of speculative fiction. The author of around 100 novels and several hundred short stories, she wrote two episodes of the iconic TV series Blake’s 7, was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award – which she followed with two World Fantasy Awards, shortlistings for all manner of accolades including Nebula and BSFA Awards – and in 2013 she received a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ from the organisers of World Fantasycon… Tanith has left an incredible legacy. I would never dream of attempting to compile a ‘Best of’ collection, so instead I’ve let others do so for me. TANITH BY CHOICE features many of her finest stories, as chosen by those who knew her.

Plucky Gon’s quest to find his dad leads him into a whole world of crazy adventure. Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters. Gon and Killua are so incompetent at fighting the monsters on Greed Island that a Hunter named Biscuit has taken pity and offered to coach them in the use of their Nen powers. But the clock is ticking, for a violent player known as "the Bomber" has a plan to get his hands on all but ten of the item cards in one fell swoop.
