Sinopse

In "Afloat in the Forest; Or, A Voyage among the Tree-Tops," Mayne Reid invites readers into an exhilarating adventure that melds elements of Gothic romanticism with the thrilling escapism characteristic of Victorian-era literature. The narrative chronicles the journey of young explorers navigating a lush, primordial forest where tree-dwelling creatures and perilous encounters abound. Reid's vivid imagery and a dynamic prose style complement his engaging storytelling, placing the reader amidst the verdant canopy, thereby transcending mere descriptions of nature to evoke a profound sense of the sublime. Mayne Reid, an Anglo-Irish author known for his fascination with natural landscapes and the great outdoors, draws on his own experiences as a traveler and naturalist. His life, marked by travel and a keen observation of nature, imbues his writing with authenticity and zeal, reflecting the broader fascination of the 19th-century Victorian society with exploration, discovery, and the natural world. Reid'Äôs unique ability to weave adventure with moral lessons speaks to the cultural ethos of his time and signifies a yearning for escapism amidst the industrial age. For readers who cherish adventure tales rich in nature and imbued with thrilling encounters, Reid's "Afloat in the Forest" is an essential addition to the canon of classic literature. The book's intricate descriptions and captivating narrative structure invite both young adult readers and seasoned literary adventurers to lose themselves in a world where nature reigns supreme and the spirit of exploration is ever-present.

    Singularity Rising - Surviving...

    In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual movement. 
    But what about the average person? How will the Singularity affect our daily lives—our jobs, our families, and our wealth? 
    Singularity Rising: Surviving and Thriving in a Smarter, Richer, and More Dangerous World focuses on the implications of a future society faced with an abundance of human and artificial intelligence. James D. Miller, an economics professor and popular speaker on the Singularity, reveals how natural selection has been increasing human intelligence over the past few thousand years and speculates on how intelligence enhancements will shape civilization over the next forty years. 
    Miller considers several possible scenarios in this coming singularity: A merger of man and machine making society fantastically wealthy and nearly immortal Competition with billions of cheap AIs drive human wages to almost nothing while making investors rich Businesses rethink investment decisions to take into account an expected future period of intense creative destruction Inequality drops worldwide as technologies mitigate the cognitive cost of living in impoverished environments Drugs designed to fight Alzheimer's disease and keep soldiers alert on battlefields have the fortunate side effect of increasing all of their users' IQs, which, in turn, adds a percentage points to worldwide economic growth  
    Singularity Rising offers predictions about the economic implications for a future of widely expanding intelligence and practical career and investment advice on flourishing on the way to the Singularity.

    Lightweight, compact, distinctively styled, and now, electric: The Brompton isn't the only folding bicycle—or even the first. But everyone who has been on one will enthusiastically testify to its marvelous design (virtually unchanged over decades) and the particular joy of riding it. 
     
     
     
    Will Butler-Adams, CEO of Brompton Bicycles, has been at the company for twenty years. Initially, he worked as an engineer for Andrew Ritchie, the bike's brilliant inventor and the business's founder, before taking the helm in 2008. Butler-Adams's heartfelt mission is to grow and promote sustainable urban transportation and to improve city-dwellers' lives everywhere. 
     
      
     
    Under his leadership, Brompton has grown from making a few hundred bikes a year to over 90,000, with revenue of $130 million. But progress hasn't always been easy: There have been boardroom struggles, supply-chain problems, and conflicts with founder Andrew Ritchie. In The Brompton, Butler-Adams brings to life what it means to grow a company to global scale. He also tells the stories of the people who make the Brompton and the people who ride it. And he explains how customers all around the world fell in love with a brand that never set out to be a brand.
