  Caroline waited for fifteen minutes in the snow. After a little time had passed, she was simply waiting to see what would happen. It was entirely possible he would not come. If he did not come, she would be in a different story than the one she had imagined, but it was possible, she knew, to imagine anything. 
   
   
   
  Inverno is a love story that stretches across decades. Inverno is also the story of Caroline, waiting in Central Park in a snowstorm for her phone to ring, yards from where, thirty years ago, Alastair, as a boy, hid in the trees. Will he call? Won't he? The story moves the way the mind does: years flash by in an instant—now we are in the perilous world of fairy tale, now stranded anew in childhood, with its sorrows and harsh words. Ever present are the complicated negotiations of the heart. 
   
   
   
  This brilliantly original novel by Cynthia Zarin, author of An Enlarged Heart, is a kaleidoscope in which the past and the present shatter. Elliptical and inventive in the mode of Elizabeth Hardwick's Sleepless Nights, Inverno is miraculous and startling. It asks, How does love make and unmake a life?

  Fragile Innocence 
  In the wake of immortality, innocence became prized most highly… and it was preyed upon. 
  Four very different young women are connected by a gravity that draws them to each other, but to annihilation or consummation? 
  Grace has a loving family, fiancé, and unshakable faith. So why does her life feel incomplete? Rayne lives in the remains of a skeletal skyscraper and promises herself that today will be different - today, she’ll find happiness. Elana is a member of the city’s thrill-seeking elite, who longs for something real in a life of vacuous hedonism. Sara is an A.I. in love with a creator who will never love her back. 
  Fabricated Innocence 
  New York can be a dark place. 
  All Sara ever wanted is Elana, but when she’s forced to choose between loving her and protecting her, she’ll risk everything to do both. Elana walks a fine line to survive in her cut-throat world, but when the people she cares about are dragged into it, she has to embrace her ruthless upbringing to save them. Grace is haunted by her past, and Rayne is hounded by hers. 
  These women are pulled closer by bonds of love in a world bent on tearing them apart. When love is all you have, it has to be enough. 
  Innocence Reclaimed 
  The world is officially going to hell. 
  The Immortality Wars were supposed to be ancient history, but ironically or not, they refused to stay dead. This time, however, someone or something had declared war on immortality itself, and people were actually dying again. People were scared, and scared people do terrible things. 
  A lot of them blamed Rayne. She was the most wanted person in New York, and not in a good way. Her legacy as the daughter of the hero of the Wars wouldn’t leave her alone. The Revolution had never been her cause, but fate thrust it on her. 
  Thanks, mom.

  The Player's Brain - Love and...

  This book challenges the very foundation of traditional medicine with a controversial and fascinating idea: using neurosurgical intervention and behavior modification to reintegrate sociopaths into modern society. Written in accessible language, it explores the groundbreaking work of Dr. Antônio De Salles, who pioneers this approach at the intersection of medicine, science, technology, and human interaction.
   
  The book’s thought-provoking content makes it a must-read for students and academics across various disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities. It illuminates the complex medical, technical, and moral implications of this sensitive issue, encouraging readers to grapple with the ethical questions raised by this emerging field of study.
   
  “The field of psychosurgery promises to change how we think about science and mental illness. Already, brain surgery is safe enough, and implants are sophisticated enough, for alteration of the brain to be accepted as mainstream therapy.”
   
  – Hays and Berenbein.
