  Welcome to Running in Slippers, a funny yet heartfelt memoir where Angie takes you through her journey of rock-bottom moments after a bad breakup and the loss of her father. It's a wild ride of misguided attempts to fill the empty space in her life — think of it like a train wreck you just can't stop watching. As she stumbles through love, loss, and trying to figure herself out, Angie’s story pulls you in with raw emotion and unexpected twists. 
  In a world where we’re all wearing masks—whether on social media or in person—and disconnected more than ever (thanks, COVID!), it’s easy to forget how real life actually feels. Everything is filtered and edited, and we rarely see the everyday struggles that everyone is going through. 
  But real connection doesn’t come from being perfect, it comes from being real. It’s scary to show up as your true self and risk rejection, but that’s exactly what Angie’s doing. She’s ripping off the masks to remind us all that vulnerability is where the magic happens.

  In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her. 
  Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are? 
  Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson’s childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world—surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity’s most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public’s perception of who she was…and who she wasn’t. 
  Fighting back with a sense of grace, fueled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman.

  Charles Babbage and Alan Turing:...

  Editors Charles River

  Today, the world is in the midst of the transformative and ever-developing Digital Age, otherwise referred to as the “Age of Information.” It has been an unprecedented, remarkable, and explosive era marked by social media and computer-generated imagery (and with it, deep fakes), among other novel, previously unimaginable concepts. The bulky monitors and blocky towers of personal computers and laptops, which were once upon a time considered fashionable, futuristic contraptions, have since been replaced with a sleek and stylish array – both multi-functional and specialized – of aerodynamic, minimalistic devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to lightweight laptops and full-fledged gaming set-ups packed with powerhouse processors. 
  While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer. 
  Given that he was the one who envisioned a concept so momentous that it ultimately led to the creation of what is now considered the world's first computer, many might be mistaken for thinking Alan Turing was the kind of suave, pipe-puffing dandy that many might associate with such a grand and futuristic idea. In reality, he was nothing of the sort. Turing was hardly the kind of two-dimensional, stereotypically bookish character whose light bulb suddenly went off during an experiment binge either. On the contrary, Alan was a gauche and grief-stricken 17-year-old schoolboy who would channel all the pain and confusion from his poignant heartbreak into his tireless research, paving the path for the deeply transformative Computer Age.

Among these luminaries, one figure stands out with a brilliance that has touched lives across continents and generations Mother Teresa. Through the pages of this book, we embark on a journey to know and understand the life, the mission, and the legacy of this extraordinary woman, who dedicated herself to serving the poorest of the poor, the forgotten, and the suffering.

Her story is one of profound inspiration, a reminder that a single individual, armed with a heart full of compassion and a spirit aflame with dedication, can transform lives, uplift communities, and inspire nations. 
  As we delve into the chapters that follow, we'll trace the footsteps of Mother Teresa's life from her early years and the influences that shaped her, to the momentous decision that led her to embrace a life of service in the slums of Calcutta. We'll witness the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, an organization that would become a beacon of hope for the destitute and the downtrodden.
