Als onderwerp heeft het generaties wetenschappers en historici perplex doen staan en gefascineerd. Het heeft in het verleden de meest intrigerende vragen opgeroepen, die vandaag de dag in de wetenschap nog steeds leven. Kan de tijd worden gestopt? Is tijdreizen mogelijk? Bestaat tijd eigenlijk wel..? In deze tien korte hoofdstukken duikt Colin Stuart in deze grote vragen en openbaart hij de meest ontzagwekkende en onthullende zaken die we allemaal over tijd zouden moeten weten. Een perfect boek voor lezers van Carlo Rovelli en iedereen die gefascineerd is door de ruimte en het heelal. En voor wie weinig tijd heeft, maar wel nieuwsgierig is.

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra — who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it’s clear the only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents — including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more — Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Full Cover Reveal - Coming SoonWhat use is a dragon rider who can't fly? That’s the brutal reality Aeden Harrington faces after bonding with a dragon that should never have hatched — a consecrated egg, hidden, marked as dead and untouchable. Worse still, he formed the forbidden bond before Aviara Academy’s official ceremony, shattering ancient tradition and painting a target on his back before he even sets foot in the sky. Starting as the Academy’s newest Initiate was supposed to be a chance to rise above his past. To master the Weave. To prove himself. But Nyra, the dragon fate chose for him, bears wings too broken to ever fly, a flaw that stains Aeden’s reputation and makes him a target among students and masters alike. As he battles distrust and isolation, Aeden uncovers darker secrets hidden within Aviara’s hallowed halls — whispers of his parents’ deaths and the cover-up that followed. And when two unknown riders arrive, wielding authority and power that even the Academy fears, surviving the deadly trials ahead becomes more than a matter of honor. It becomes a fight for his life — and for the truth. In a world where flight means power, what chance does a grounded rider have against enemies who rule the skies?"Perfect for fans of Eragon, Ascendant, and Of Blood and Fire, Wing Weaver delivers a fast-paced, dragon-rider academy fantasy where survival depends on more than just flight."

Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally best-selling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai - the happiness of always being busy - as revealed by the daily habits of the world's longest-living people. "Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years." (Japanese proverb) According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai - a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai - the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect - means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there's no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they've found a real purpose in life - the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds - one of the world's Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and - their best-kept secret - how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn't want to find happiness in every day?
