*The limited deluxe edition will include designed edges with a quote* From #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland comes an all-new fall romance. She's counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He's counting on making her stay. Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves. Allegra Bianchi goes to escape--New York, her ex's new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment she was passed over for partner. Her plan is simple: settle her eccentric Italian grandmother's estate, sell whatever isn't nailed down, and return to the life she's worked too hard to lose. Instead, she walks into a mess--a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing. Then there's the neighbor she clashes with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases her family's land and refuses to be impressed by her credentials--or her attitude. He's rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that feels long past, and the word rush isn't part of his vocabulary. Basically, they're exact opposites. But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor Allegra doesn't realize she's wearing, and Matteo shows her the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder. She goes to Tuscany to escape. But now that the countdown to going home is on, Allegra isn't sure she's ready to leave. And the life she's falling for comes with a looming expiration date.

'Seven powerful mages want to make the world a better place. We're going to kill them first.' Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. No doubt he's wearing iridescent silk robes that couldn't protect his frail body from a light breeze. The hat's a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing, covered in esoteric symbols that would instantly show every other mage where this one gets his magic? Wouldn't want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object). Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you're probably not going to like it, because we're violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations. At least, until such irritating concepts as friendship and the end of the world get in the way. My name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noble-sounding job title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren't quite as noble as I'd believed. Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent. Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .

This volume presents the proceedings of the thira German-Italian Symposium on the Applications of Mathematics in Industry and Technology sponsored mainly by the research foundations of Germany and Italy, DFG and CNR. We had not published the proceedings of the second symposium held in Germany, but are now convinced that a publication would be appreciated by many scientists. The aim we had in mind organizing this symposium and communicating its scientific content was essentially the same as in the previous symposia - we were led by the same scientific and cultural (maybe even political) ideas. The scientific idea is simple: Mathematics becomes a more and more important tool in technology, business and organisatio- but mathematics does not play a corresponding role. The reason is that neither the public opinion nor the mathematicians them selves are really aware of this fact. To show the richness and efficiency of this "industrial raw material" mathematics - at least in some domains - was one subject of the conference. In planning the structure a decision had to be made: If one wishes to present a huge variety of applications of mathematics in very different fields, the participants may loose the track, cannot find any connection with their own field of research in too many lectures; the symposium des integrates like a puzzle into many pieces, which are not easy to be put together again.

"Siendo alguien muy familiarizado con la enfermedad de la prisa, me doy cuenta de que necesitaba este libro urgentemente ". -Scott Harrison, autor de Thirst / Sed, bestseller del New York Times . "¿En quién me estoy convirtiendo?" Esa pregunta le molestaba e incomodaba constantemente al pastor y autor John Mark Comer.

No era la respuesta que esperaba oír, pero fue y sigue siendo la respuesta que necesitaba. Con frecuencia, tratamos los síntomas tóxicos de nuestras vidas modernas, en lugar de identificar la causa. Un número creciente de voces están señalando a la prisa o el ajetreo como la raíz de muchos males. En este libro, encontrarás una fascinante hoja de ruta para mantenerse emocionalmente saludable y espiritualmente vivo dentro del caos de nuestro mundo moderno.

From the #1 bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia, the landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

She's not about to make it easy. And in the town of Ruby Creek, hearts are on the line just as much as the horses. A Photo Finish He's broody, scarred, and the last man she expected to see again.

In this dark and enchanting stand-alone fantasy from debut author Lynn Buchanan—complete with black and white illustrations and a full-wrap illustrated cover—discover a world centered around destructive, all-consuming monsters; the magical dolls designed to fight this force; and the artisans tasked with creating demon-slaying dolls. A touch cozy fantasy and a touch horror, The Dollmakers is perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli films, the works of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree, and readers of Juniper & Thorn and The Goblin Emperor. In the unique fantasy world called One, dollmakers are vital members of the community. An artisan’s doll is the height of society’s accomplishments, while a guard’s doll is the only thing standing between the people of One and the Shod: vicious, cobbled monstrosities that will tear apart any structure—living or dead, inanimate or otherwise—to add to their horde. Apprentice Shean of Pearl is a brilliant dollmaker. With her clever dolls, she intends to outsmart and destroy the Shod, once and for all—a destiny she’s worked her whole life toward accomplishing. But when the time comes for her dolls to be licensed, she’s told her work is too beautiful and delicate to fight. A statement that wounds and infuriates her; the Shod killed everyone she loved. How could her fate be anything but fighting them? In an attempt to help her see a new path for herself, Shean’s mentor sends her on a journey to the remote village called Web, urging her to glean some wisdom from Ikiisa, a reclusive and well-respected guard dollmaker. But Shean has another plan: if she can convince the village of Web of her talents, the Licensor Guild will have to reconsider and grant her a guard’s license. And what better way to convince them than challenging Ikiisa and instating herself as the official dollmaker of Web? Once she’s done that, proving her dolls’ worth in the fight against the Shod will be simple. As simple, that is, as calling the Shod to Web...
