Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of

With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most-favored queen, determined to carv

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America’s military superiority and economic prosperity.Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the technology works and why it’s so important, recounting the fascinating events that led to the United States perfecting the chip design, and to Ameri

獨立年輕，愛吃棋格蛋糕又是辯論社主席，一看就是天選之人。Mo不懂大英帝國吸血鬼女王的頭銜和職責是如何降臨到她肩上的，她不過就是在陰雨天騎腳踏車回家而已。不過能免掉體育課，還有帥哥相伴，這似乎也不算太糟…對嗎？Meet Mo Merrydrew - independent young woman, Mini Battenberg fan, president of the debating society - and reluctant vampire queen ... Fifteen-year-old Mo Merrydrew isn't exactly expecting to be asked to be Vampire Queen of Great Britain when she's cycling home from school one wet Tuesday evening. Apparently, she is 'the Chosen One'.Aside from being uncomfortable with the idea of unelected power (not very democratic), there's the blood drinking to consider (Mo is a vegetarian), and frankly it's just not really the sort of role Mo's looking for (she wants to aim for a real job in politics). But - if you're Vampire Queen, you probably don't have to do PE any more, and when the dreamy Luca, a vampire familiar, turns up, it all suddenly starts to look a bit more appealing ... Geek Girl meets Buffy in a brilliantly funny new teen series from bestselling author Jo Simmons

It was a poem about our shared humanity – the poem reminding us that, no matter where we're from, or where we live, we all exist under the same moon. In the days following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, these lyrical words went viral in Italy: they became a call for peace. Six decades later, they resonate, and feel more relevant, than ever before.Now, for the very first time, the poem has been illustrated by the incredible Beatrice Alemagna, whose beautiful pictures match Rodari’s words in hope, purity and power.

由 TOEIC 權威研究機構 Hackers Academia 嚴選編纂針對高中以上程度，培養職場以及各大英文檢定考試的 Word Power！臨時什麼「試」都不怕！即使沒印象、沒學過或是根本就記不住的單字你也可以透過本書，輕鬆掌握其90%以上的意義與用法！極完整！用「意義分類」約 350 個字首+字根+字尾，並讓讀者更快速掌握字源學習的要領以 1,800 個中高階單字為核心，透過「字根拆解+圖像化」的輔助來理解字義一天 30 個字彙 + 一天 1 回完整學習評量，能確實達到有效的學習成果隨身帶單字小手冊 + 智慧 QR 碼音檔設計，隨時隨地用耳朵記憶效果更棒！◆ 有效掌握對於字源的記憶與理解，才能真正提升 Word Power！ 雖然英文字彙浩瀚無邊，但事實上我們不必去認識字典裡所有單字，因為我們日常生活，乃至於職場會用到的字彙，其實也只是涵蓋區區幾千個常用字彙，更重要的是，如果我們對形成英文單字的字源（字首、字根、字尾）能有清楚的概念，那麼許多單字根本不需要背，直接看單字就能猜出大概的意思，再配合上下文幾乎可以八九不離十的掌握一個陌生的單字，而且還能夠幫助記憶單字。例如 fore- 是一個很常見的字首，它的意思是「前面」，可以用我們常見的 before（之前）這個字去理解。因此 forehead 就可以拆解成 fore（前面）+ head（頭），照字源拆解，就成了「前面的頭」或「頭的前部」，而 forehead 就是「前額、額頭」的意思。用這樣的方式去理解、記憶單字，會比死背更有邏輯，而且記憶的時間更長久。◆ 字首、字根、字尾多如牛毛，要有系統的分類才會好用！ 雖然用字首、字根、字尾去擴增單字量，在短時間內記下基本日常生活以及職場上常用的字彙是個不錯的方式，但坊間這類教材也是玲瑯滿目，似乎每一本看起來都是寶典，但真正買來開始學習還是發現，沒有想像中那麼好用，因為英文裡的字根、字首、字尾少說也近三、四百個，當你越記越多時，難免會產生錯縱複雜的感覺，就跟背單字一樣，記了新的忘了舊的，這時候就需要一套對於這幾百個字根、字首、字尾，做一套有系統性的分類，可讓學習者在一開始時迅速掌握字源學習要領。◆ 以「意義分類」方式掌握字源歸類，簡單一句話，搭配一張有趣的插圖，瞬間理解一個中高程度的英文字彙 本書收錄字首、字根、字尾約 350 個，在編排上不採用按字母順序編排的慣

A furious debut novel from Andrew Joseph White about embracing the monster within and unleashing its power against your oppressors. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Annihilation. Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him--the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world's population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can't get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC's leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji's darkest secret: the cult's bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and us
