A legendary detective uncovers Hong Kong’s darkest crimes: “An ambitious narrative brilliantly executed . . . What an achievement!” (John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8). From award-winning author Chan Ho-kei, The Borrowed tells the story of Kwan Chun-dok, a detective who’s worked in Hong Kong fifty years. Across six decades of Hong Kong’s volatile history, the narrative follows Kwan through the Leftist Riot of 1967, when a bombing plot threatens many lives; the conflict between the HK Police and ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) in 1977; the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989; the Handover in 1997; and the present day of 2013, when Kwan is called on to solve his final case, the murder of a local billionaire, in a modern Hong Kong that increasingly resembles a police state. Along the way we meet Communist rioters, ultra-violent gangsters, pop singers enmeshed in the high-stakes machinery of star-making, and a people always caught in the shifting balance of political power, whether in London or Beijing. Tracing a broad historical arc, The Borrowed reveals just how closely everything is connected, how history repeats itself, and how we have come full circle to repeat the political upheaval and societal unrest of the past. It is a gripping, brilliantly constructed novel from a talented new voice.

Planet Aqua, three hundred million years ago. A massive fleet of zègus, colossal alien spaceships, land on the planet serving for a while as self-sustaining homes. Soon enough though, Zègunians realise that Aqua is going through significant environmental upheavals. Despite the resilience of their zègus they know they won’t be able to stay much longer. Their scientists had identified previously unknown particles that they named conscirons with their associated field and which they believed might be related to the human brain. So technicians and scientists develop the HASAMAT, a technology that makes use of the new field and copies and projects consciousness into the cosmos at immeasurable speed. They are convinced that the HASAMAT could be a revolutionary way to explore the galaxy. UÌGO is an intrepid reporter-explorer. Despite skepticism from others, he volunteers to trial the HAZAMAT and undergoes the first journey to the enigmatic Gameogo, a potentially habitable planet at the edge of the galaxy. He is tasked with verifying the conditions of the planet. His arrival on Gameogo brings a surreal twist, as the components of his mind are reorganized into a new mental structure by the mysterious Gameogans. The narrative weaves through strange encounters, bizarre perceptions and the evolution of both minds and planets. As UIGO grapples with the fluidity of reality, profound questions arise about the nature of existence, the meaning of evolution and the interconnectedness of universes. Borrowed Brains is a thought-provoking and visionary tale that transcends the ordinary in an adventure from the complexities of the mind to the vastness of the cosmos.

Research shows that between birth and early adulthood the brain requires sensory stimulation to develop physically. The nature of the stimulation shapes the connections among neurons that create the neuronal networks necessary for thought and behavior. By changing the cultural environment, each generation shapes the brains of the next. By early adulthood, the neuroplasticity of the brain is greatly reduced, and this leads to a fundamental shift in the relationship between the individual and the environment: during the first part of life, the brain and mind shape themselves to the major recurring features of their environment; by early adulthood, the individual attempts to make the environment conform to the established internal structures of the brain and mind. In Brain and Culture, Bruce Wexler explores the social implications of the close and changing neurobiological relationship between the individual and the environment, with particular attention to the difficulties individuals face in adulthood when the environment changes beyond their ability to maintain the fit between existing internal structure and external reality. These difficulties are evident in bereavement, the meeting of different cultures, the experience of immigrants (in which children of immigrant families are more successful than their parents at the necessary internal transformations), and the phenomenon of interethnic violence. Integrating recent neurobiological research with major experimental findings in cognitive and developmental psychology—with illuminating references to psychoanalysis, literature, anthropology, history, and politics—Wexler presents a wealth of detail to support his arguments. The groundbreaking connections he makes allow for reconceptualization of the effect of cultural change on the brain and provide a new biological base from which to consider such social issues as "culture wars" and ethnic violence.

Sales expert Jill Konrath offers powerful strategies for sales proficiency in ever-changing situations. When sales people are promoted, change jobs, or face new business environments, they inevitably need to learn new skills quickly.

Readers will learn the mindsets, learning strategies and habits that they can use in crazy-busy times to start strong and stay nimble. From time management tools to personal motivation, creativity, and gamification strategies, Konrath teaches sellers how to get more done in less time, regardless of the environment. To succeed in today's sales world, having go-to systems for rapid information and skill acquisition isn't only useful, but absolutely required. Konrath focuses on the meta-skills that will get sellers to high levels of sales and proficiency - and ultimately mastery - much faster than their usual methods.

'My favourite American crime-writer' New York Herald Tribune Vic Varallo is an ambitious police officer. He and his wife Laura fix up a room for a guest, Ross Duncan, who seems extremely likeable but a little odd. Ross reveals to Vic that he is flat broke, financially crippled by alimony to his ex-wife Helene. That is, until Helene is killed, and Ross charged with her murder. But against appearances, Vic believes in Ross's innocence. So he sets to work through a tangled mass of evidence and discovers some very odd things about a certain Mr Reilly, an eccentric old mother - and the dead woman herself . . .
