In the high-stakes world of corporate tech, reclusive genius Mark Stanford—neurodivergent and guarded against emotional ties—pitches a groundbreaking guest app to a skeptical hospitality giant. After winning the development contract, he hires an exceptionally perceptive executive assistant whose quiet efficiency and anticipation of Mark’s needs prove invaluable—especially protecting him from distractions and sensory overload. As long days and high pressure draw them closer, buried secrets and unspoken struggles surface, forcing Mark to confront feelings he never expected. What begins as a professional alliance ignites profound questions of identity, acceptance, and faith—challenging Mark emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Divergent, the first in the Intersections Romance series, is an uplifting Christian romance exploring redemption through unconventional paths, where divergent lives find unexpected wholeness in each other.

This book is arranged as a six-day Socratic dialogue in play form. It is a humorous explanation of ethical theory and covers all the main ones but in a lucid, uncomplicated way, using plenty of realistic examples. Amongst the theoreticians included are Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Kant, Spinoza, Hume, Mill, Moore, Sartre. The content is as follows: • Day 1: the process of good – good defined in a new way as a process of purposeful thoughts or intentions, perceptions, behaviours, emotions, and outcomes • Day 2: parts of the process – each of the parts above explained • Day 3: what is good – ie norms of good; summa bonum and bona as seen by philosophers and by ordinary people • Day 4: morality – social ethics; definitions of ‘ought’, ‘moral imperative’, ‘right and wrong’, ‘obligation’, and ‘duty’; particular examination of Kant’s ideas vis-à-vis our normal behaviour • Day 5: justice – starting from Plato’s Republic, justice as quid pro quo, types of justice, nature of moral responsibility • Day 6: beauty – new definition of beauty and examples of how this works. The book contains original ideas on what good, beauty, morality, virtue, and justice are and original critiques of other theories. Humour and philosophy is a rare duet; humour and ethics even rarer.

This is a fresh look at 100 paradoxes explained in a clear way without obfuscating philosophical jargon or esoteric language. It is lively and entertaining as well as being challenging with realistic examples and instructive diagrams to elucidate points being made. The paradoxes are organised into nine specific subject areas and a unique coloured page design is used to explain and solve them. It challenges our understanding in a wide range of areas: • deduction and induction • finity and infinity • force and matter • free will, randomness, and determinism • logic and self-reference • morality • metaphysics (God) • perception • probability • relativity • uncertainty, undefinability, unknowability, and unprovability. Only original sources are used, which are listed extensively. If you ever wanted to know what paradoxes are about and where they go wrong, this is the book for you.

The major contribution made by Coastal Forces to the Allied war effort has had surprisingly little coverage in the literature of the Second World War. Motor torpedo boats, PT boats, motor gunboats, launches and submarine chasers served with distinction throughout the War, and in every theatre. They performed invaluable service as patrol boats, convoy escorts, minelayers and minesweepers, harbour defence vessels, light landing craft, RAF rescue boats and transports for agents and clandestine missions.Allied Coastal Forces, now a recognised classic work and first published in 1990, remains the only publication to deal comprehensively in words, photographs and drawings with the technical detail of all these boats. Design, construction and subsequent development are all covered, and the builders, construction lists, fates and the technical data are given for each type. Separate sections cover armament and equipment, sea-going qualities and habitability.This first volume covers all the designs of the Fairmile Marine Company (including those craft built and equipped for Canada), together with the 72ft Harbour Defence Motor Launch and the US Navy 110ft subchaser.The authors, firmly established as the recognised authorities on small warships, unearthed a remarkable body of information now included in this major work, and their finely detailed drawings, redrawn form original builders plans, offer an unparalleled view of all these remarkable designs. The new editions of their work will be welcomed by naval enthusiasts and modellers alike.

Somewhat mistitled, Lambert's Travels through Canada and the United States of North America, in the years 1806, 1807, & 1808, would more properly be titled ""Lambert's Travels along the East Coast of the United States, ending in Canada."" There is much discussion of agriculture (in particular the Southern plantations), religious observance, and social mores. Lambert's journey is limited, focusing on South Carolina, New York, and New England.The author also provides biographical sketches and anecdotes about famous Americans. vol. 2 of 2

When these two [authors] combine their considerable experience, the reader has to pay attention. Naval Aviation NewsIn 1999, by a vote of 52 to 47, the U.S. Senate cleared the names of Admiral Husband Kimmel and Lieutenant General Walter Short of blame for leaving Pearl Harbor vulnerable to attack. According to the declaration, Kimmel and Short had performed their duties "competently and professionally," and that America's losses at Pearl were "not the result of dereliction of duty." Revisionist historians have been trying for years to portray Short and Kimmel as innocent scapegoats. However, Major General Kenneth Bergquist is among the many witnesses who went to their graves crying "foul," but not before telling their stories to historians Jack Lambert and Norman Polmar.This book combines the evidence of never-before-seen photos and documents, Lambert's taped interviews with some of the last surviving witnesses, exhaustive research of all remaining evidence, Polmar's perspective as naval warfare commentator for the History Channel, and Barry Levenson's legal experience trying cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, to finally put the case of the tragic failure of command and dereliction of duty leading up to December 7, 1941, to rest.Senator Strom Thurmond called Kimmel and Short "the final two victims of Pearl Harbor." In reality, was the last victim the truth?

The complex and important relationship between public expenditure and economic performance has been the subject of numerous econometric studies. But the studies remain inconclusivesome results have shown positive relationships, while others are negative. Thus there is no conventional wisdom backed by statistical evidence on this relationship, nor is there any sort of clear theoretical underpinning that explains how the aggregate of government spending acts on the growth of total output. This book studies the role of public expenditures in a noneconometric way by examining a number of specific instances of these expenditures and their direct effect on economic performance. Specifically, the authors presents scenarios from Botswana, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, and Zambia and ask a series of questions to identify and illuminate the impact of these instances of public expenditure on a number of variables that help measure economic performance. These examples are then used to make generalizations about the relationship between public spending and economic performance.
