  Every time you scroll, click, or swipe, invisible systems are quietly deciding what you see next. How Algorithms Shape Your Choices takes readers behind the screen to uncover how recommender engines, attention metrics, and predictive models influence not only what we consume — but what we believe. In clear, accessible language, it reveals how the digital world builds personalized realities that guide our thoughts and behaviors without asking for permission. From filter bubbles to algorithmic bias, it traces how data-driven design became the most powerful force in modern life — and how understanding it is the first step toward reclaiming control. This isn’t a story about technology; it’s a story about human freedom in an age of invisible influence.

  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.

  Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them. 
   
   
   
  Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature. 
   
   
   
  In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world. 
   
   
   
  Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Her friends in Illinois think Colleen Gallagher has it all together: meaningful work, a loving family, and a knack for solving problems. However, caring for aged parents has left her little time to nurture a relationship with her emotionally distant daughter. 
  The birth of a second grandchild gives Colleen an excuse to pack her bags and relocate to Washington DC. But when her son-in-law falls ill, this kindergarten teacher and delighted grandma must change her focus from the little ones to the grownups. 
  The young couple clings to the hope that they can make the most of their remaining time together — romantic getaways and date nights out. The more Colleen tries to penetrate the fog of denial, the more her daughter pushes away — outbursts of anger followed by withering silence. 
  As Colleen juggles the multiple roles of grandma, cook, and caregiver, she discovers that even her superhuman efforts and a special “last” Christmas in Vermont can’t fix what’s wrong. Maybe nothing can. Should she save her family or save herself? 
  If you enjoy flawed yet heroic characters and a powerful mix of tragedy and humor, then you won't want to miss Montpelier Tomorrow. This beautifully written, literary novel is a testament to the power of a mother's love and the resilience of the human spirit. Buy Montpelier Tomorrow today.

  Obesity - The other pandemic of...

  Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
  Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
  the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
  'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
  The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.
