  From the author of Tokyo Vice comes the wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. 
   
  Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos―especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the center of the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. 
   
  So what really happened? The Devil Takes Bitcoin tells the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single Bitcoin.

  The groundbreaking, scientifically based anti-aging program for people of all ages 
  Many people believe that sags, bags, and wrinkles—on the face and body—are inevitable. According to award-winning research scientist and dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., they are due to inflammation at the cellular level caused by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin care treatments, and stress. In fact, this type of inflammation is more than a beauty problem; it can lead to increased likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis.  
   Now you can prevent—and even reverse—many signs of aging, producing visible improvement in the skin, and in your body’s overall health and appearance. Step by step, Dr. Perricone shows you how to improve your health, looks, and well-being, providing:  
  • A three-day “jump start” diet that will give you immediate results 
  • The 28-day Perricone Program of meals, exercise, and skin care 
  • A complete resource guide 
  • And much more!

  Thermal and Statistical Physics...

  This bundle explores the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the fascinating world of chaos and nonlinear dynamics. Thermodynamics examines the principles governing heat, energy, and work within systems, emphasizing the laws of energy conservation, entropy, and the transformation of matter. This book also delves into statistical mechanics, providing insight into how microscopic interactions of particles give rise to macroscopic phenomena like temperature, pressure, and volume. Understanding these principles is key to unraveling the behavior of systems in equilibrium and those far from it. 
  The study of chaos and nonlinear dynamics extends these ideas by focusing on systems that exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where small changes can lead to drastically different outcomes. This text bridges the gap between predictable and unpredictable phenomena, exploring how randomness and disorder emerge in physical systems. The principles outlined have profound implications across many fields, from thermodynamic engines and material science to weather patterns and biological systems. This book offers a comprehensive overview of how heat, disorder, and randomness govern both natural and engineered systems, making complex processes understandable through the lens of statistical physics.

  The Software Engineer's...

  In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance. 
  By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions. 
  This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more. 
  This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers. 
  We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally. 
  Praise for the book 
  “From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path 
  "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify
