Now she is here to share with women everywhere the methods that got her to that place.New Methods for Women is 49 powerful essays that offer new perspectives on life, work, self, friendships, parenthood, and relationships.

Invention: Break Free from the Culture Hell-Bent on Holding You Back (The WiRE Series for Men)
by Justin CampThe universe&’s Inventor designed us like he did the world: with passion and precision and purpose. He made us for confidence and significance, joy and relationship. He made us to be part of something massive and majestic—to contribute to his work of remaking this world and to play vital parts in his Kingdom.But we have a vicious enemy, hell-bent on thwarting us. Our enemy spins lies that convince us into distraction and dependence—on alcohol, drugs, pornography, success-at-all-cost. But Jesus said, &“I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.&” (MSG, John 10:10) He said that about us.Invention is an invitation to join a band of renegades and revolutionaries, change-makers and troublemakers—men who won&’t be daunted, because they know there is more. It&’s a guide for living, finally, with depth and purpose. It will expose the lies that obscure God&’s intent, and will help reveal His design for your life. There is so much more. Come and see.
Chaos and the Automaton (e-flux)
by Franco 'Bifo' BerardiFacing real threats of extinction and futurelessness, a search for new ground on which to build projects toward emancipationChaos and the Automaton is the first volume to collect Franco &“Bifo&” Berardi&’s extensive collaboration with e-flux, which has become one of his primary English-language publishers since 2010. The selection of key essays collected here presents Berardi&’s prescient interventions into more than a decade of social turmoil, offering a tour through the cataclysms that have rocked the foundations of the global order since the 2008 financial crisis, from European austerity, Occupy, the Arab Spring, and Anonymous through the ascendance of Pope Francis, Brexit, Covid-19, the Trump–Biden sequence, the U.S. Capitol riots, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine—as well as bizarre new cultural occurrences that were consequences. Berardi draws not only from current events but also movements and figures at the firmament of his thought, such as Guattari, Pasolini, and Italian street art of the 1970s. His essays represent a sustained and singular effort to reveal the psychic and material underpinnings of a society in which history came roaring back at the same moment as any vision of a sustainable future receded from sight. &“I know that it is dangerous to write in simultaneity with events that nobody can precisely foresee, that can only be vaguely intuited,&” he wrote on the eve of the 2020 American elections, &“but the only way to imagine something about the becoming of the psycho-sphere is to run ahead of the dynamics of the disaster.&”
Before Wallis: Edward VIII's Other Women
by Rachel TretheweyWallis Simpson is known as the woman who stole the king’s heart and rocked the monarchy – but she was not Edward VIII’s first or only love. This book is about the women he adored before Wallis dominated his life. There was Rosemary Leveson-Gower, the girl he wanted to marry and who would have been the perfect match for a future king; and the Prince’s long-term mistress, Freda Dudley Ward, who exerted a pull almost equal to Wallis over her lover, but abided by the rules of the game and never expected to marry him. Then there was Thelma Furness, his twice-married American lover, who enjoyed a domestic life with him, but realised it could not last forever and demanded nothing more than to be his mistress – and fatefully introduced him to Wallis. In each love affair, Edward behaved like a cross between a little boy lost and a spoilt child craving affection, resorting to emotional blackmail to keep his lovers with him. Each of the three women in this book could have changed the course of history. By examining their lives and impact on the heir to the throne, we question whether he ever really wanted to be king.

Information boxes highlight applications and research directions of particular significance. Chapters conclude with sections presenting fundamental concepts, review questions, and lists of key terms, which are defined in a glossary at the end of the book. This 3rd edition of Fundamentals of Molecular Virology includes detailed information on the recent COVID-19 pandemic and mRNA vaccine technology, additional sections on pathogenic herpesviruses, and updates on recent outbreaks of Zika virus, Ebola virus and mpox diseases. New chapters describe hepatitis C virus, rhabdoviruses, viruses of invertebrates, oncolytic viruses, and virus-mediated gene therapy. All chapters, including those on innate and adaptive immune responses to virus infections, virus vaccines, and antiviral agents, were revised and updated.

Systemic Approach to Categorizing and Modeling Requirements (ISTE Invoiced)
by Azeddine ChikhCurrent categorizations of software requirements are highly ambiguous and inconsistent, mainly due to the lack of a clear, common framework for defining software elements and relevant environmental factors. This book overhauls the traditional approach by proposing an innovative systemic method for categorizing and modeling software requirements. It introduces an unprecedented frame of reference, putting an end to divergent interpretations by precisely defining software elements and environmental factors. This framework forms an indispensable basis for all the other components of this approach: a redefinition of requirements, a hybrid categorization that combines several taxonomies and scales, a metadata model used to qualify requirements, and a multi-view model that represents all possible categories of requirements. By adopting this new approach, professionals will be able to improve the clarity, precision and relevance of their specifications, and thus optimize the success of their software projects.

Human-Animal Relations in Tourism, Leisure and Development: Perspectives from Latin America
by Carlos Monterrubio Xavier López-Medellín Katherine Dashper Helen WadhamHumans and animals have developed multiple and complex interactions in the fields of tourism, leisure, and development. However, much of the existing research on how humans and animals interact in these fields has emerged from within the context of developed countries. As a result, little has been documented about human-animal interactions in the socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental contexts of countries in the Global South. Specifically, the diversity and complexity of interspecies relationships in tourism, leisure, and local development in Latin America have been largely ignored in Anglo-Saxon literature. This has resulted in a limited, partial, and hegemonic understanding and debate about human-animal relationships globally, dominated by certain regions of the world. This book addresses this gap by documenting multiple and complex relationships between humans and animals in the fields of tourism, leisure, and local development in countries in Latin America. The book: Brings together empirical and conceptual works that reveal different disciplinary, theoretical, ethical, methodological, and practical perspectives. Reveals how human-animal relationships - both domestic and wild - can result in co-created interspecies experiences, conflicts, conservation efforts, welfare, and local development of human societies in the region. Equips stakeholders with conceptual frameworks and actionable tools to formulate policies that blend animal welfare and sustainability in Latin American tourism and recreation strategies. Challenges dominant narratives from the Global North regarding tourism and conservation, promoting a more inclusive and nuanced approach. This book will be of interest to researchers, professionals and policymakers within tourism, leisure, animal welfare, conservation and destination development.
