The narrator and the people he loves inhabit a circular terrain: Service industry nightmares. Porn. Pills. Blackouts and revelations. Acrobats of the eleventh hour are here. The Honey Bucket Hooker is here. You will find yourself here.

Book excerpt: The classic guide to working from home and why we should embrace a virtual office, from the bestselling authors of Rework “A paradigm-smashing, compulsively readable case for a radically remote workplace.”—Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Does working from home—or anywhere else but the office—make sense? In Remote, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work’s challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working “off-site” far outweigh the drawbacks. In the past decade, the “under one roof” model of conducting work has been steadily declining, owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces. Today the new paradigm is “move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace.” Companies see advantages in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves their ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. But what about the workers? Jason and David point out that remote work means working at the best job (not just one that is nearby) and achieving a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity. And those are just some of the perks to be gained from leaving the office behind. Remote reveals a multitude of other benefits, along with in-the-trenches tips for easing your way out of the office door where you control how your workday will unfold. Whether you’re a manager fretting over how to manage workers who “want out” or a worker who wants to achieve a lifestyle upgrade while still being a top performer professionally, this book is your indispensable guide.

Book excerpt: RULES AT WORK and home are of paramount importance. Nigel Bullstone, however, has no respect for parameters of any kind. Behind exemplary behaviour and pressed suits, he enjoys a wildly different life in his head. This deception is exposed by chance, and his livid father books him into a hard-line motivational course to straighten him out. His journey to absolution is waylaid when his car and his nerves break down en-route. A stranger called Winston rescues him from the roadside; in a mutinous state he accepts a dodgy invitation to go camping in lieu of obeying orders, and then learns that Winston's openly hostile friend, Ramon, is to join them. Stressed out, his unfettered thoughts run amok. He finds himself poised on the edge of madness and the Highest Bungi Jump on Earth; the stupefying leap into nothingness produces a bizarre entity that claims to be his Alter Ego and Personal Counsel. And it is not alone. Ramon has acquired one, and Winston has had one all along. Nigel's life takes on a new perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increased military employment of remotely operated aerial vehicles, also known as drones, has raised a wide variety of important ethical questions, concerns, and challenges. Many of these have not yet received the serious scholarly examination such worries rightly demand. This volume attempts to fill that gap through sustained analysis of a wide range of specific moral issues that arise from this new form of killing by remote control. Many, for example, are troubled by the impact that killing through the mediated mechanisms of a drone half a world away has on the pilots who fly them. What happens to concepts such as bravery and courage when a war-fighter controlling a drone is never exposed to any physical danger? This dramatic shift in risk also creates conditions of extreme asymmetry between those who wage war and those they fight. What are the moral implications of such asymmetry on the military that employs such drones and the broader questions for war and a hope for peace in the world going forward? How does this technology impact the likely successes of counter-insurgency operations or humanitarian interventions? Does not such weaponry run the risk of making war too easy to wage and tempt policy makers into killing when other more difficult means should be undertaken? Killing By Remote Control directly engages all of these issues. Some essays discuss the just war tradition and explore whether the rise of drones necessitates a shift in the ways we think about the ethics of war in the broadest sense. Others scrutinize more specific uses of drones, such as their present use in what are known as "targeted killing" by the United States. The book similarly tackles the looming prospect of autonomous drones and the many serious moral misgivings such a future portends. "A path-breaking volume! BJ Strawser, an internationally known analyst of drone ethics, has assembled a broad spectrum of civilian and military experts to create the first book devoted to this hot-button issue. This important work represents vanguard thinking on weapon systems that make headlines nearly every day. It will catalyze debates policy-makers and military leaders must have in order to preserve peace and protect the innocent. - James Cook, Department Chair/Head of Philosophy, US Air Force Academy "The use of 'drones' (remotely piloted air vehicles) in war has grown exponentially in recent years. Clearly, this evolution presages an enormous explosion of robotic vehicles in war - in the air, on the ground, and on and under the sea. This collection of essays provides an invaluable contribution to what promises to be one of the most fundamental challenges to our assumptions about ethics and warfare in at least the last century. The authors in this anthology approach the ethical challenges posed by these rapidly advancing technologies from a wide range of perspectives. Cumulatively, they represent an essential overview of the fundamental ethical issues involved in their development. This collection makes a key contribution to an urgently needed dialogue about the moral questions involved." - Martin L. Cook, Adm. James B. Stockdale Professor of Professional Military Ethics, Professor Leadership & Ethics, College of Operational & Strategic Leadership, U.S. Naval War College

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hornbook and textbook – it explains the basics, fundamentals and rudiments of Criminal Law and conjunctively delves further into the legal texts and treatises upon which established precedents on the subject are based, wherewith the book descants the more subtle and perplexing issues and legal principles as pronounced by the High Court in the cases discussed and cited in this work. This volume contains an aggregate of four hundred and forty (440) cases, showing the facts on how the crime was perpetuated, and in plain and easy language the meaning of the legal provisions being discussed, carefully selected and culled from more than a century of Supreme Court decisions. The presentation deviates from the conventional method of article by article sequence of discussion, and instead sunders them into various segments according to the issues posed and the legal doctrines applied and discussed, with review materials – in outline form – on several aoristic and obscure areas interjected between the segments. By the described method of instruction, further guided by the syllabi systematically interwoven with a quick search subject index, thereby modifying the format of the index section to find easy-to-find additional review materials, the readers – the legal researchers, the students of criminal law, the bar and board reviewees and the police officers alike – would find ease in learning and understanding Criminal Law.

Book excerpt: Folkhaven is a novel which details the challenges faced by Charles Thorsson and his family. It tells of their heroic responses to those negative situations through the creation of the Folkhaven community, an organization partially disengaged from the mainstream. Folkhaven looks with veneration to the traditional aspects of extended families, clans and tribes, yet incorporates modern technological and scientific advances as tools to create a pleasant life and secure future for its members. The Thorssans also utilize a set of powerful, cohesive values including strength, courage, reality, vigor, enjoyment of life, a love of freedom, kinship, cooperation and great respect for both their ancestors and descendants. Additionally, assistance from the deities of their ancestors and Charles psychic abilities provides extremely useful insights into the future which enhances the success of their endeavors. Folkhaven is a fictional story designed to introduce a concept of intentional community building as a means of improving the lives of individuals who find contemporary societal trends undesirable. It discusses the roles of family, economic justice, personal growth, society and values. The story is rich in action, parapsychology, spirituality and insights into the future. Its heroes demonstrate how we should deal with pernicious social trends.

Book excerpt: From the author of The Truth Beneath the Lies, which the bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying, Karen M. McManus, called "smart, suspenseful, and unpredictable," comes a psychological thriller about a girl who must keep her arsonist ways hidden--or watch her life go up in flames like a wildfire. Jenny didn't want to move to the creepy, possibly haunted town with her dad. But the cops are on to her, and the only way she can protect herself is by moving as far away from her hometown as possible and staying out of trouble. But even after she moves, Jenny still gets the itch. The itch to light a match and then watch it burn. It's something she hasn't been able to stop, ever since an accident years ago. Now, in a new town, Jenny has the strange feeling that someone is watching her every move. Will her arsonist ways be exposed? Or is the burning truth deep inside her a greater danger?
