world clock

This book explores how daily and seasonal rhythmicity is generated, how these rhythms are synchronised by our environment, and how they regulate the neuroendocrine systems that impact our physiology and behaviour. The constraints of surviving in a seasonal environment have shaped human evolution and migration, have shaped our societies and cultures, and continue to influence our everyday lives, health and wellbeing. Identifying the mechanisms whereby seasonal rhythmicity is generated and regulates the brain and body is not only important for understanding the natural world and relevant to animal production, it also offers many insights into the human condition. Each chapter is written by an international expert in the field of chronobiology. A historical perspective on how research into photoperiodism and rhythmicity progressed is initially provided, but the main focus of this book is on the remarkable studies in the last few decades that have unravelled the molecular and cellular machinery underpinning circadian and circannual timing. Topics covered include the role of melatonin in communicating seasonal information to the brain and pituitary gland, the neuroanatomical pathways in mammals, birds and fish by which changes in photoperiod reach the hypothalamus, the role of glial cells (tanycytes) and thyroid hormone in seasonal rhythmicity, neuroplasticity across seasons, effects of changing day length on mood, regulation of “clock“ gene expression, and the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus. This book will appeal to all students and researchers who wish to learn about current and past research on daily and seasonal rhythmicity. This is the tenth volume in the International Neuroendocrine Federation (INF) Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology series (Volumes 1-7 published by Wiley) that aims to illustrate highest standards and encourage the use of the latest technologies in basic and clinical research and hopes toprovide inspiration for further exploration into the exciting field of neuroendocrinology.

* Drawn Together features stunning designed edges, only available in the first print run and while supplies last!* SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE WITH AMAZON PRIME, STARRING ESTER EXPÓSITO A billionaire heiress suddenly finds her life in danger and forced to live with a 24/7 strict bodyguard she never asked for in this brand-new romantic suspense novel from the internationally bestselling author of My Fault series, Mercedes Ron. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang and Danielle Lori's Made series. He was my protection . . . and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés is finally living life on her own terms. After escaping her billionaire father's world for New York, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes and stolen hours at her ballet studio. Normal. Predictable. Exactly how she likes it. Until the afternoon she's abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil wakes up in hospital with no memory of what happened and only the chilling certainty that she's no longer safe. Now her hard-won independence comes at a price when her father assigns her an around-the-clock bodyguard. Cold, controlled and infuriatingly unreadable, Sebastian Moore is everything she resents - and exactly what she needs. But as danger closes in and the stakes rise, so does the tension between them. Because the closer Sebastian gets, the harder it is for Marfil to keep her distance when she discovers that the real threat might not be the one lurking in the shadows . . . but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.

Clear, practical guidance for anyone who needs to understand how astronomy, navigation, and civil time fit together. This book explains the systems behind clock time and sky-based measurement with careful attention to the links between sidereal time, solar time, leap seconds, and calendar rules. It is written for readers who want more than definitions, they want to know how time is actually used, converted, and checked in real observing and technical work. Starting from the basics of time as an instant, interval, and epoch, the book builds a solid foundation in coordinate systems, time scales, and angular measurement. It then moves through the major topics that often cause confusion, including Greenwich and local sidereal time, the equation of time, UT1 and Earth rotation irregularities, atomic time scales such as TAI and TT, and the role of leap seconds in keeping human time aligned with Earth's changing rotation. Inside you will find: Step-by-step explanations of UT, TAI, TT, UT1, and how they relate Practical methods for converting between calendar dates, Julian Dates, and Modified Julian Dates Clear treatment of Julian and Gregorian calendars, including proleptic date handling Guidance on time zones, daylight saving time, UTC offsets, and ISO 8601 recording Scientific examples that show how to compute sidereal time, solar noon, transit times, and observation windows Advice on precision, rounding, error checking, and leap-second-safe timestamp handling The book is especially useful for astronomers, observers, software developers, educators, and students who need dependable methods for scheduling, logging, or interpreting time-sensitive data. Each chapter supports real-world use, from pointing telescopes and planning observation sessions to verifying timestamp conversions and building reliable workflows. What makes it especially valuable is its emphasis on both concept and computation. You get the physical meaning behind each time scale, along with worked examples and reference recipes that help turn theory into practice. Whether you are correcting for longitude, comparing civil time with solar time, or preparing ephemeris-ready inputs, this guide offers a structured path through the most important timekeeping systems used in astronomy.

THE NEW LUKE CARLTON THRILLER. BBC Security Correspondent FRANK GARDNER'S thrillers are . . . 'Fast, taut, tense, accurate.' FREDERICK FORSYTH ' U tterly authentic.' DAILY MAIL 'Enthralling, intelligent.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Nerve-shredding.' TONY PARSONS 'Heart-in-mouth.' i-NEWSPAPER ' Compulsively readable.' RADIO TIMES __________________________________________ The world is on high alert. Across the Strait from Taiwan, China's armed forces appear to be readying for war. Could the People's Republic be preparing to invade its island neighbour? Britain's Secret Intelligence Service has a mole deep within the Chinese Communist Party leadership - an individual in possession of intel that could defuse this fast-escalating situation. A 'collector' is sent to meet the spy and, in an anonymous Hong Kong café, the information is handed over. But before the collector can get the data to MI6, she is overpowered, drugged and abducted by persons unknown. Is it the MSS, China's feared state security agency? Or has another, less predictable player entered the game? As geo-political tensions rise, MI6 field operatives Luke Carlton and Jenny Li are dispatched to find the missing agent and the precious intel she carries. With the clock ticking and tip-offs taking them to shady Macau casinos, tawdry night clubs and multiple dead ends, Luke is convinced they are being deliberately strung along. Then they get the vital lead they need. It points to Taiwan - a country frantically preparing for imminent invasion. And it's there that Luke and Jenny uncover what is really going on. . . Drawing on his years of experience reporting on global security stories and in-depth knowledge of the security services, Frank Gardner has written his most frighteningly real, unnerving and explosive thriller yet. 'Grips from the very first page . . . this is thriller writing of a high order . . . Gardner steadily ratchets up the tension, peppering the narrative with nuggets of expertise to make an enthralling, intelligent read.' Adam LeBor, FINANCIAL TIMES (about Outbreak)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS’ CHOICE NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF FALL BY: The New York Times, Associated Press, Goodreads, NPR, Harper’s Bazaar, Los Angeles Times, and more A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man’s last pilgrimage, from the award-winning author of The Girls and The Guest. “Piercing and suspenseful.”—The Wall Street Journal “Bold . . . arresting . . . stylistically adventurous.”—The Boston Globe “Profoundly moving.”—The Guardian A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable. This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend’s house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life. As David’s arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.

An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong? An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother.

A part-time literature professor, he's trailed by whispers that he may be responsible for a student's death. He is a man Corvina shouldn't want-and at Verenmore, wanting is its own kind of transgression. They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But Verenmore has a way of binding the living to its dead. Every five years, someone vanishes into the mountain's silence, and Corvina can feel the castle fixing its attention on her. Vad needs to stay close, not knowing what the truth may awaken. And so begins a tale of the mysterious, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

Instant New York Times Bestseller! New York Times Editors' Choice New York Times Best Books of 2026 (So Far) One of People's 15 Most Anticipated Books of Summer The Next Big Idea Club's July 2026 Must-Read Books One of the New York Times Nonfiction Everyone Will Be Reading This Summer Sunset Magazine's 15 New Books You Don't Want to Miss From Annie Jacobsen, the author of the bestselling Nuclear War: A Scenario, a book on a subject that has long orbited her reporting: biological warfare. A lab accident, a bio-attack, a global pandemic, and the collapse of human society. In this essential new book, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political, governmental, medical, and military responsibility, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario. It would be only a matter of days from such a global infection before the infrastructure built to handle this gravest of situations would be in a battle for human existence. The fallout: mass death, total societal breakdown, widespread insurrection, anarchy, and a plague-ravaged wasteland that no longer resembles modern civilization. In other words: dystopia. Following the gripping narrative style that launched Nuclear War to the New York Times bestseller list, Jacobsen looks deeply at a situation that is in some ways the opposite of a nuclear bomb: There is no mushroom cloud, no shock wave or blast. Instead, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small, and something so malicious, that when used for evil, only evil can result. This is what could happen; a ticking-clock roadmap to the hours, days, and weeks following the release of a biological agent, that serves as the most essential, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.

Ticking clocks and tolling bells, scents of roses and warm tortillas: this is the barrio of years past as captured in the words of Patricia Preciado Martin. Cuentos, recuerdos, stories, memories--all are stirred into a simmering caldo by a writer whose love for her heritage shines through every page. Reminiscent of "Like Water for Chocolate," the book is a rich mix of the simplest ingredients--food, family, tradition. We see Silviana striding to her chicken coop, triggering the "feathered pandemonium" of chickens who smell death in the air. We meet Elena, standing before the mirror in her wedding dress, and Teodoro SAnchez, who sleeps under the sky and smells of achaparral and mesquite pollen and the stream bottom and the bone dust of generations. Thereas the monsignor sitting on the edge of a sofa, sipping NescafA(c) from a china cup, and here is Sister Francisca "with her warm, minty breath" warning us away from impure thoughts. Be on your best behavior, too, in TA-a Petraas Edwardian parlor--la DoAa Petrita, descended from conquistadores, might just deliver a tap on your head with her silver-handled walking stick. Then, with Mamacita, spend a summer afternoon bent over your embroidery with trembling hand and sweaty upper lip, and all the while wondering what in the world it feels like to be kissed. Intermingled with the authoras stories are collective memories of the barrio, tales halfway between heaven and earth that seem to connect barrio residents to each other and to their past. These cuentos are mystical and dreamy, peopled with ghosts and miracles and Aztec princesses dressed in feathers and gold. Come, sit down and have some salsa and a tortilla--fresh and homemade, it goeswithout saying; people who buy tortillas at the market "might as well move to Los Angeles, for they have already lost their souls." Then open the pages of this book. Help yourself to another feast of food and flowers, music and dancing, sunshine and moonlight--everything glorious and mundane, serious and humorous, earthly and spiritual, poignant and joyful, in la vida mexicoamericana.

Sensitive and heartwarming, Mr. Nicholas is a magical Christmas story in which lives and hearts are changed by a small boy and the power of his relentless love. Every town has its secrets. When it becomes known that Mr. Nicholas, the eccentric owner of the local hardware store, is somehow involved with reindeer, toys, and children, the town becomes more and more suspicious that this man is more than just a clerk on Main Street.JB, a clever, open ten-year-old boy with Down syndrome, is able to figure out the secret from the first time Mr. Nicholas gives him a chocolate deer wrapped in gold foil. JB's father and mother, both cynical and on the brink of divorce, follow the adventures of JB as he flies on the back of a reindeer, feeds Mister Rogers's fish, and defines what can be forgotten by those who are too busy to remember the magic of Christmas, cuckoo-clocks, and love."In Christopher de Vinck's novel Mr. Nicholas, a hardened newspaperman's life is rocked by a small boy's love and an encounter with a mysterious old man.On his way to interview a beekeeper, Jim sees Anna's car clinging to the edge of the road. He stops to help, and they connect—as if each were tapped into the same current. But once married, their differences open a gap between them. Anna suggests that a baby could bridge that gap.But when JB is born with Down syndrome, Jim's rejection of his son leads Anna to file for separation. Jim feels disappointed in his career; he faces a sad and lonely Christmas. Gradually, though, the time he spends with his son opens his eyes to a world in which magic is real and everyone is worth loving.Anna cannot see the changes in Jim, and when JB goes missing, she blames him. She suspects that JB's friend, Mr. Nicholas, a scavenger and owner of a hardware store that hides a mystery, is responsible, too.Told in Jim's voice, this is a story about the power of a boy's relentless love. Tense and stressful at first, it makes the changes in Jim palpable through his inner reflections, his conversations with others, and through small actions that reveal his growing love for his son.Suspense grows as Mr. Nicholas comes under investigation for JB's disappearance. Jim questions the old man, who asks him some probing questions in return. In the book's satisfying conclusion, Jim realizes the importance and beauty of the ordinariness that makes life worth living and gives Christmas its true meaning. Sensitive and heartwarming, Mr. Nicholas is a magical Christmas story in which lives and hearts are changed by a small boy's unconditional love."—Foreword Reviews (September / October 2021)

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF THE TIMES' BOOKS NOT TO MISS THIS AUTUMN The definitive autobiography from Alice Cooper, the Godfather of Shock Rock and one of the world's most iconic musicians with a career spanning six decades. In the beginning, Alice Cooper was the name of a rock group. Then my stage name. And then a monster. Now I've written a book that tracks Alice's 'evilution', how he and I became almost fatally intertwined, and how I've tamed him at last. After over thirty records and sixty-plus years, the story of Alice Cooper has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, that I think it's time to sort reality from myth: the slaughtered chickens, the bans and record burnings, the evangelical terrors, Ouija boards and poltergeists, resurrections and revenge from the grave, the cross-dressers, thieves, drug addicts and hopeless alcoholics, the house fires and car crashes - all will be revealed for what they really were. I'm also coming clean about the extent of my addictions, my blackout years, the creative process fuelled by alcohol, drugs and round-the-clock TV, my scramble to the top of the pile and the terrible slide back down. I want to talk about the origin of Cold Ethyl, the guillotine and the dead babies, the best and worst of my reviews, my feelings of guilt and regret after people got hurt or died, what life was like on the road until the wheels came off the bus, what a romantic I am at heart and how I've stayed married for half a century even after my wife came at me with a frying pan. And I want to talk about God. Don't worry, I'm not gonna bang you on the head with a Bible, I just want to describe how it is that I found Him dwelling in me. Alice, that inveterate liar, was a voice in my ear for so long, whispering lies and sweet nothings, pretending to be my better conscience and my inspiration, pretending to be me, that I think it's only right to present both sides of the story: the angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other. ----------------------------------- 'Alice is a survivor from the early years of this crazy industry and its wildest days, and a card-carrying member of rock 'n' roll royalty. A bona fide original, he's been the inspiration for so many well-known artists that followed him, Guns N' Roses included. He's also one of the most humble and unassuming people in his position, but somehow still as genuinely rock 'n' roll as it comes. Alice Cooper f***ing rocks.' Slash 'Fact: Alice is one of my oldest and dearest friends. He has a kindness and generosity that is marinated in deep faith; he's also funny as hell, a realist, and uniquely iconic. He can spin a yarn spectacularly and have you hanging on every word. As they say, the proof is in the pudding, and this is rich dessert.' Bernie Taupin 'This is the tale of two fascinating characters - Vince Furnier and Alice Cooper - who, between them, took rock music to heights simultaneously shocking and sophisticated, together with a slew of top songs. But, above all, brilliantly and crazily theatrical, which is right up my alley.' Tim Rice 'Like many of us, Alice Cooper is a lot of people sharing one outer shell. Unlike many of us, that shell has performed on stages all over the world. I've known him for years, but I never knew the many versions of him until this revealing, honest, fascinating and sometimes raw autobiography. This book is a journey through the heart of rock 'n' roll, the mind of a wild disciple, and the soul of an artist trying to make sense of it all.' Mitch Albom

You are not a standard athlete, and a standard civilian diet will not sustain you in the line of duty. While traditional fitness advice focuses on predictable gym routines and climate-controlled kitchens, your reality is defined by exhaustion, unpredictability, and high-stakes decision-making. When lives are on the line and failure is not an option, what you put into your body is no longer just food. It is tactical ammunition. Most conventional nutrition programs completely ignore the brutal truth of operational environments. They do not account for the destructive metabolic impact of night shifts, the lack of refrigeration in a patrol vehicle, or the sheer adrenaline dump of a critical incident. Relying on convenience store energy drinks, skipped meals, and highly processed rations ultimately leads to cognitive fatigue, chronic injuries, and premature burnout. You cannot afford an energy crash when split-second mental clarity is required. Your body and mind demand a highly specialized fueling strategy designed explicitly for the chaos of the twenty-four-hour clock. Mission-Ready Nutrition is the definitive, science-backed doctrine engineered exclusively for military personnel, first responders, and tactical athletes. This comprehensive system moves far beyond generic advice to provide actionable, real-world protocols for operating under extreme stress. You will discover exactly how to build a precise daily fuel budget that supports heavy physical output, alongside advanced chrononutrition strategies to master food and caffeine timing around relentless shift work schedules. This book completely removes the guesswork and friction from operational readiness. It provides a flawless tactical meal prep system that transitions seamlessly from a shared station fridge directly to your gear bag. For those deployed or on extended operations, it delivers uncompromising strategies for extracting maximum physical performance when forced to rely entirely on MREs or shelf-stable rations in the field. Beyond sheer physical stamina, this guide unlocks the highest levels of mental performance. You will learn the exact nutritional protocols required to armor your brain against decision fatigue, sustain cognitive endurance during chaotic operations, and drastically accelerate your recovery between shifts, injuries, and intense training cycles. You will also gain access to a strictly evidence-based supplement toolkit, cutting through industry marketing to reveal exactly what works for tactical athletes and what is a waste of money. Ultimately, your career longevity depends on what you do before the call comes in and after the mission is over. By implementing these strategies, you can build a lean, powerful, and battle-ready physique without the detrimental effects of crash dieting. More importantly, this framework is engineered to protect your cardiovascular health, stabilize your metabolism, and safeguard your long-term well-being against the toxic demands of the job. Do not let substandard nutrition compromise your physical performance, your team, or your future. Develop an unbreakable dietary discipline that overrides exhaustion. Secure your copy of Mission-Ready Nutrition today and take absolute command of your ultimate operational advantage.

"This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don't have to wake up early!" —Reader review for The Killing Game When the virtual and real worlds collide, US Marshal Alexa Chase plunges into the dark heart of the tech industry to track a killer who livestreams murder as a twisted form of entertainment. As the body count rises, Alexa must outsmart a foe who always seems one level ahead. THE KILLING HAND (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 7) is the seventh in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1). Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice. But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer's mind. As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer's twisted mind before he strikes again. A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Future books in the series are also available! "This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.
