She and her husband, Martin, and daughter, Carmel, are thriving in Dublin at the dawn of an economic boom. But everything changes when Joan receives a letter from Emma, the daughter who she and Martin gave up for adoption thirty years before, asking for a life-or-death favor.

Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. An unprecedented tour of consciousness thanks to new experimental evidence, much of which comes from Anil Seth's own lab. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth's work has yielded new ways to communicate with patients previously deemed unconscious, as well as promising methods of coping with brain damage and disease. Being You sheds light on the future of AI and virtual/augmented reality, adds empirical evidence to cutting-edge ideas of how the brain works, and ushers in a new age in the study of the mystery of human consciousness. This book is a life-changin

From Martin Dugard, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series―with more than 12 million copies sold―comes a thrilling account of the World War II Allied liberation of Paris from the grip of the NazisAugust 1944: After two months of combat and slaughter in the wake of D-Day, Hitler's troops have managed to avoid annihilation. Countless German soldiers retreat from Normandy, sweeping a path of violence back to Nazi-occupied Paris. There, they expect to make a last stand, ready to destroy the ancient city rather than see it fall from Hitler's grasp. The Allies have a clear path toward Germany. General Eisenhower intends to bypass the city, fearing that overseeing its four million inhabitants will place an unnecessary burden on his supply lines. He knows that seizing Paris, instead of pressing the immediate advantage toward the German heartland, is a mistake. But Paris, a symbol of the liberty the Allies hold so dear, is different. Over 120,000 Parisians

THE UNTOLD TECH STORY OF OUR TIME What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create? With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing. Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a sixty-four-year-old computer science professor who didn't drive and didn't fly because he could no longer sit down--but still made his way across North America for the moment that would define a new age of technology. The other was a thirty-six-year-old neuroscientist and chess pro
