Book excerpt: Netflix’s most watched limited series to date! The thrilling novel of one young woman’s journey through the worlds of chess and drug addiction. When eight-year-old Beth Harmon’s parents are killed in an automobile accident, she’s placed in an orphanage in Mount Sterling, Kentucky. Plain and shy, Beth learns to play chess from the janitor in the basement and discovers she is a prodigy. Though penniless, she is desperate to learn more—and steals a chess magazine and enough money to enter a tournament. Beth also steals some of her foster mother’s tranquilizers to which she is becoming addicted. At thirteen, Beth wins the chess tournament. By the age of sixteen she is competing in the US Open Championship and, like Fast Eddie in The Hustler, she hates to lose. By eighteen she is the US champion—and Russia awaits . . . Fast-paced and elegantly written, The Queen’s Gambit is a thriller masquerading as a chess novel—one that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. “The Queen’s Gambit is sheer entertainment. It is a book I reread every few years—for the pure pleasure and skill of it.” —Michael Ondaatje, Man Booker Prize–winning author of The English Patient
Download or read book Spectras Arise Omnibus Box Set written by Tammy Salyer and published by Tammy Salyer. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 955 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RENEGADE SMUGGLERS WAGE WAR AGAINST TYRANNY IN THE STARS In a dystopian future, the Algol solar system is humanity's new home, but oppression lurks in this seemingly utopian society. Follow war veteran Aly Erikson as she leads her ragtag crew of rebels and smugglers in a relentless fight for freedom against the ruthless Political and Capital Administration of the Advanced Worlds (the Admin) in this gritty military space opera saga. From space battles and intrigue to chases across hostile planets, CONTRACT OF DEFIANCE, CONTRACT OF BETRAYAL, CONTRACT OF WAR, and the series prequel novella CONVICTION deliver nonstop action and adventure. Erikson and her crew risk it all to resist the Admin's authoritarian regime, evade capture, and aid resistance movements, even when their defiance of tyranny places them outside the law. With liberty and justice at stake, these battle-scarred underdogs will stop at nothing to spark revolution in the stars. This epic sci-fi trilogy blends fast-paced action, political intrigue, and the timeless struggle against oppression, perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and Honor Harrington. When diplomacy fails, Erikson and her team must fight with everything they've got, knowing one ironclad rule: when all other options run out, never let go of your gun. What people saying about the Spectras Arise Series “A fast-paced and fun sci-fi space adventure with a great protagonist… starts with a running gun fight and doesn't let up until the explosive conclusion.” “Top Notch SciFi Read!” “I'm torn between wanting to savor every exciting moment of this gorgeously written series or binge-read to find out what happens next.” “Thrilling, Roller-Coaster Ride of Military Sci-Fi Adventure” “Contains the kind of action that makes it hard to turn off the light and go to sleep.” Fans of the following authors may also enjoy this science fiction series: Aaron Dembski Bowden, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Ann Leckie, Anna Hackett, Anthony J.Melchiorri, Arthur C Clarke, B.

In a bid to free the settlers of Agate Beach from their dependence on picking at Admin scraps, Corps-deserter Aly Erikson's crew is willing to make a few deals, even with the devil. When Aly learns her friends have deceived her, she has to decide which is stronger: her sense of having been betrayed or her allegiance to the rebel cause. After an old ally offers her a convenient escape to a new life, the decision should be easy. But when the Corps threatens to wipe out everything that matters to her, the only course of action left is the same one she’s taken for as long as she can remember—fighting back.

Book excerpt: The galaxy is mired in a cold war between two superpowers, the Illyrican Empire and the Commonwealth. Thrust between this struggle are Simon Kovalic, the Commonwealth’s preeminent spy, and Kyle Rankin, a lowly soldier happily scrubbing toilets on Sabea, a remote and isolated planet. However, nothing is as it seems. Kyle Rankin is a lie. His real name is Eli Brody, and he fled his home world of Caledonia years ago. Simon Kovalic knows Caledonia is a lit fuse hurtling towards detonation. The past Brody so desperately tried to abandon can grant him access to people and places that are off limits even to a professional spy like Kovalic. Kovalic needs Eli Brody to come home and face his past. With Brody suddenly cast in a play he never auditioned for, he and Kovalic will quickly realize it’s everything they don’t know that will tip the scales of galactic peace. Sounds like a desperate plan, sure, but what gambit isn’t? The Caledonian Gambit is a throwback to the classic sci-fi adventures of spies and off-world politics, but filled to the brim with modern sensibilities.

Download or read book Capablanca written by Frisco Del Rosario and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jose Raul Capablanca is renowned for his exquisite positional play and flawless endgame technique. But The Chess Machine was also a master of that other way to deliver mate: the attack on the enemy king.In this groundbreaking work, award-winning chess coach and author Frisco Del Rosario shines a long-overdue light on this neglected aspect of Capablanca's record. He illustrates how the Cuban genius used positional concepts to build up irresistible king hunts, embodying the principles of good play advocated by the unequaled teacher, C.J.S. Purdy. The author also identifies an overlooked checkmate pattern - Capablanca's Mate - that aspiring attackers can add to the standard catalogue in Renaud and Kahn's The Art of the Checkmate. As Del Rosario shows, Capablanca has inspired not only generations of players, but also many of the classics of chess literature.Easy to read but chock-full of advice for study and practical play, Capablanca: A Primer of Checkmate fills a gaping hole in our understanding of the third World Champion.
Download or read book How PowerPoint Makes You Stupid written by Franck Frommer and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 500 million users worldwide, Microsoft's PowerPoint software has become the ubiquitous tool for nearly all forms of public presentation—in schools, government agencies, the military, and, of course, offices everywhere. In this revealing and powerfully argued book, author Franck Frommer shows us that PowerPoint's celebrated ease and efficiency actually mask a profoundly disturbing but little-understood transformation in human communication. Using fascinating examples (including the most famous PowerPoint presentation of all: Colin Powell's indictment of Iraq before the United Nations), Frommer systematically deconstructs the slides, bulleted lists, and flashy graphics we all now take for granted. He shows how PowerPoint has promoted a new, slippery “grammar,” where faulty causality, sloppy logic, decontextualized data, and seductive showmanship have replaced the traditional tools of persuasion and argument. How PowerPoint Makes You Stupid includes a fascinating mini-history of PowerPoint's emergence, as well as a sobering and surprising account of its reach into the most unsuspecting nooks of work, life, and education. For anyone concerned with the corruption of language, the dumbing-down of society, or the unchecked expansion of “efficiency” in our culture, here is a book that will become a rallying cry for turning the tide.
