📮 The Futurist: Life and Films of James Cameron by Rebecca Keegan(.ePUB) With the release of Avatar in December 2009, James Cameron cements his reputation as king of sci-fi and blockbuster filmmaking. It’s a distinction he’s long been building, through a directing career that includes such cinematic landmarks as The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, and the highest grossing movie of all time, Titanic. The Futurist is the first in-depth look at every aspect of this audacious creative genius—culminating in an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse of the making of Avatar, the movie that promises to utterly transform the way motion pictures are created and perceived. As decisive a break with the past as the transition from silents to talkies, Avatar pushes 3-D, live action, and photo-realistic CGI to a new level. It rips through the emotional barrier of the screen to transport the audience to a fabulous new virtual world. With cooperation from the often reclusive Cameron, author Rebecca Keegan has crafted a singularly revealing portrait of the director’s life and work. We meet the young truck driver who sees Star Wars and sets out to learn how to make even better movies himself—starting by taking apart the first 35mm camera he rented to see how it works. We observe the neophyte director deciding over lunch with Arnold Schwarzenegger that the ex-body builder turned actor is wrong in every way for the Terminator role as written, but perfect regardless. After the success of The Terminator, Cameron refines his special-effects wizardry with a big-time Hollywood budget in the creation of the relentlessly exciting Aliens. He builds an immense underwater set for The Abyss in the massive containment vessel of an abandoned nuclear power plant—where he pushes his scuba-breathing cast to and sometimes past their physical and emotional breaking points (including a white rat that Cameron saved from drowning by performing CPR). And on the set of Titanic, the director struggles to stay in charge when someone maliciously spikes craft services’ mussel chowder with a massive dose of PCP, rendering most of the cast and crew temporarily psychotic. Now, after his movies have earned over $5 billion at the box office, James Cameron is astounding the world with the most expensive, innovative, and ambitious movie of his career. For decades the moviemaker has been ready to tell the Avatar story but was forced to hold off his ambitions until technology caught up with his vision. Going beyond the technical ingenuity and narrative power that Cameron has long demonstrated, Avatar shatters old cinematic paradigms and ushers in a new era of storytelling. The Futurist is the story of the man who finally brought movies into the twenty-first century. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Rebecca Keegan(.Epub) Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type The Futurist: Life and Films of James Cameron by Rebecca Keegan(.ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/KoKiTZ62PMj6 https://devuploads.com/f8hjra9kxk0v

As long as she could remember, doing whatever was necessary to stay afloat had been her motto. No one cared enough to make sure she was safe and stable, which lands her in a place of desperation. The one person she cut ties with is the only person that can change her reality back into a fairytale. Turning to him changes her future completely. Rueben “Rue” Washington is the most sought-after man on his side of town and lives with no restrictions. From the way he talks to the way he acts; the women just can’t get enough of him, and his looks add to their checklist. However, the toxicity women bring causes an emotional separation between the two. Love is something we all wish to experience. Sometimes being forced into something brings the most beautiful and genuine love out of someone and sometimes commas get the job done as well.

Dylan Cambridge comes across as the sweetest and most caring person you’ll ever meet, except she’s not the pushover you think she is. As a woman who prides herself in being upfront and honest, she too has a past that can ruin her future endeavors. When it comes to a man, she’d rather stay alone than deal with the aftermath of dating one. However, one doesn’t seem to fade the way the others have. With them both not wanting to give the other a real shot, they find themselves in a dilemma. Many have asked why do fools fall in love and it’s simply because it can’t be avoided.

He has everything except a woman to love. However, the one he has the most love for, just returned to the city. Yarielle Black is fresh out of jail expecting to do one thing and that’s be a mother to her three-year-old daughter. Life, however, had many obstacles set up before she could enjoy motherhood. One being, Tasmond Cambridge. Knowing each other since they were kids, these two have always shared a special bond. That’s soon put to the test when they run into each other again for the first time in over a decade. Say What You Mean (#9)Say What You Mean (#9) Desmond Cambridge sits as the co-head of The Jungle, and he is not the one to fumble your chances with. As a man that knows all about a hustle, he expects his to be respected. Being the one to always keep a smile on his face, no one knew what he was going through internally. Well, that is until Xayoni became the only one he could rely on. Xayoni James knew the definition of sacrifice all too well. Entering society again from doing twelve long years, she realizes the world she left had changed drastically. The only thing she knew was to chase a dollar and that’s exactly what she did. However, the person she loved most never left her thoughts. The game between cat and mouse somehow became a loving distraction they both needed.

Every person she loved has left her alone and now she has to find her way as a new mother. Moving to Graceland Heights, she’s hoping for a better and more peaceful life. One thing she didn’t expect was falling for someone after vowing to focus on herself and child, let alone falling for someone that was already claimed. Why is the best fruit always forbidden? It’s like, what’s good for you can only be observed and not experienced. Lyfe and Nasoni are two people willing to take the risk. Life taught them one thing and that was to be selfish with their love. Not everyone deserves a happy ending, either, but these two are willing to fight for theirs. Reign's Harmony (#11)Reign's Harmony (#11) Reign Cambridge is the baby of the Cambridge cousins and the most famous. Her voice gained her millions of fans and the title America’s Princess.

She does what needs to be done for them to survive all while keeping a certain elegance. As usual, she has it all together without the help of a man. They are two individuals from two different worlds that find a good time in each other. Obsession is another form of love in their eyes. Man of Few Words (#13)Man of Few Words (#13) Nicolas Brown is the epitome of speak when spoken to. He doesn’t volunteer information or even his time. He’s one that observes from the shadows more than one that craves the spotlight. His attention has fallen to a certain woman, and she is one that enjoys the game that’s being played. However, he’s not the only chaser. Ross McIntyre is the woman you see often but never recognize. In her line of profession, she blends right in with the crowd but stands out to one. She’s as sweet as they come but has violent tendencies when pushed. With a mind like hers, unpredictable is an understatement. Neither one wants to be anything other than loved by the other. When it all comes down to it, the distance between them only made the bond that much stronger.

📮 Extraterrestrial Languages by Daniel Oberhaus (.PDF) The endlessly fascinating question of whether we are alone in the universe has always been accompanied by another, more complicated one: if there is extraterrestrial life, how would we communicate with it? In this book, Daniel Oberhaus leads readers on a quest for extraterrestrial communication. Exploring Earthlings' various attempts to reach out to non-Earthlings over the centuries, he poses some not entirely answerable questions: If we send a message into space, will extraterrestrial beings receive it? Will they understand? What languages will they (and we) speak? Is there not only a universal grammar (as Noam Chomsky has posited), but also a grammar of the universe? Oberhaus describes, among other things, a late-nineteenth-century idea to communicate with Martians via Morse code and mirrors; the emergence in the twentieth century of SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), CETI (communication with extraterrestrial intelligence), and finally METI (messaging extraterrestrial intelligence); the one-way space voyage of Ella, an artificial intelligence agent that can play cards, tell fortunes, and recite poetry; and the launching of a theremin concert for aliens. He considers media used in attempts at extraterrestrial communication, from microwave systems to plaques on spacecrafts to formal logic, and discusses attempts to formulate a language for our message, including the Astraglossa and two generations of Lincos (lingua cosmica). The chosen medium for interstellar communication reveals much about the technological sophistication of the civilization that sends it, Oberhaus observes, but even more interesting is the information embedded in the message itself. In Extraterrestrial Languages, he considers how philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, science, and art have informed the design or limited the effectiveness of our interstellar messaging. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Daniel Oberhaus Size 3.8MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/RsC3BBBtylpe https://devuploads.com/h0nj7pd1c3dg

📮 The First Soldier: Hitler as Military Leader by Stephen Fritz (.PDF) A leading expert reexamines history to offer a stunningly original portrait of Hitler as a competent military commander and strategist After Germany’s humiliating World War II defeat, numerous German generals published memoirs claiming that their country’s brilliant military leadership had been undermined by the Führer’s erratic decision making. The author of three highly acclaimed books on the era, Stephen Fritz upends this characterization of Hitler as an ill-informed fantasist and demonstrates the ways in which his strategy was coherent and even competent. That Hitler saw World War II as the only way to retrieve Germany’s fortunes and build an expansionist Thousand-Year Reich is uncontroversial. But while his generals did sometimes object to Hitler’s tactics and operational direction, they often made the same errors in judgment and were in agreement regarding larger strategic and political goals. A necessary volume for understanding the influence of World War I on Hitler’s thinking, this work is also an eye-opening reappraisal of major events like the invasion of Russia and the battle for Normandy. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Stephen Fritz Size 7.0MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/UuPbitsr1sPX https://devuploads.com/k6nyf1935kux

They take walks in the park together, visit county fairs, museums, and zoos, and eat together overlooking the lake. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to set his own bedtimes and eat candy whenever he wants. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined.

📮 Anahita by Manya Saadi-Nejad (.PDF) Anahita was the most important goddess of pre-Islamic Iran. From her roots as an ancient Indo-European water deity her status was unrivalled by any other Iranian goddess throughout the course of three successive Iranian empires over a period of a thousand years. The first scholarly book on Anahita, this study reconstructs the Indo-European water goddess through a comparison of Celtic, Slavic, Armenian and Indo-Iranian myths and rituals. Anahita's constantly-evolving description and functions are then traced through the written and iconographic records of Iranian societies from the Achaemenid period onwards, including but not limited to the Zoroastrian texts and the inscriptions and artistic representations of the great pre-Islamic Iranian empires. The study concludes by tracing survival of the goddess in Islamic Iran, as seen in new Persian literature and popular rituals. Manya Saadi-nejad demonstrates the close relationship between Iranian mythology and that of other Indo-European peoples, and the significant cultural continuities from Iran's pre-Islamic period into the Islamic present. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Manya Saadi-Nejad Size 2.7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/LqRrzmm0U697 https://devuploads.com/zzikryr9xdq8

📮 An Introduction to Universal AI by Marcus Hutter (.PDF) An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence provides the formal underpinning of what it means for an agent to act intelligently in an unknown environment. First presented in Universal Algorithmic Intelligence, UAI offers a framework in which virtually all AI problems can be formulated, and a theory of how to solve them. UAI unifies ideas from sequential decision theory, Bayesian inference, and algorithmic information theory to construct AIXI, an optimal reinforcement learning agent that learns to act optimally in unknown environments. AIXI is the theoretical gold standard for intelligent behavior. The book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of UAI. Bayesian updating can be done efficiently with context tree weighting, and planning can be approximated by sampling with Monte Carlo tree search. It provides algorithms for the reader to implement, and experimental results to compare against. These algorithms are used to approximate AIXI. The book ends with a philosophical discussion of Artificial General Intelligence: Can super-intelligent agents even be constructed? Is it inevitable that they will be constructed, and what are the potential consequences? This text is suitable for late undergraduate students. It provides an extensive chapter to fill in the required mathematics, probability, information, and computability theory background. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Marcus Hutter Size 32.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Tech & Devices File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/8JfNKkFxef8t https://devuploads.com/zo3rglsbzrgi

📮 Attila the Hun: Arch-Enemy of Rome by Ian Hughes (.ePUB) A biography of the notorious tribal leader whose empire challenged the Romans. Most know the name Attila the Hun—but few are familiar with the full history behind this historical figure. Rising to the Hunnic kingship around 434, he dominated European history for the next two decades. Attila bullied and manipulated both halves of the Roman Empire, forcing successive emperors to make tribute payments or face invasion. Here, Ian Hughes recounts Attila's rise to power, attempting to untangle his character and motivations so far as the imperfect sources allow. A major theme is how the two halves of the empire finally united against Attila, prompting his fateful decision to invade Gaul and his subsequent defeat at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plain in 451. Integral to the narrative is analysis of the history of the rise of the Hunnic Empire; the reasons for the Huns' military success; relations between the Huns and the two halves of the Roman Empire; Attila's rise to sole power; and Attila's doomed attempt to bring both halves of the Roman Empire under his dominion. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Ian Hughes Size 5.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ozZ7y2Bu0htP https://devuploads.com/f7k2hee1qqbt

📮 Journey into the Land of the Zeks and Back by Julius Margolin (.ePUB) Under the Soviet regime, millions of zeks (prisoners) were incarcerated in the forced labor camps, the Gulag. There many died of starvation, disease, and exhaustion, and some were killed by criminals and camp guards. In 1939, as the Nazis and Soviets invaded Poland, many Polish citizens found themselves swept up by the Soviet occupation and sent into the Gulag. One such victim was Julius Margolin, a Pinsk-born Jewish philosopher and writer living in Palestine who was in Poland on family matters. Margolin's Journey into the Land of the Zeks and Back offers a powerful, first-person account of one of the most shocking chapters of the violent twentieth century. Opening with the outbreak of World War II in Poland, Margolin relates its devastating impact on the Jews and his arrest and imprisonment in the Gulag system. During his incarceration from 1940 to 1945, he nearly died from starvation and overwork but was able to return to Western Europe and rejoin his family in Palestine. With a philosopher's astute analysis of man and society, as well as with humor, his memoir of flight, entrapment, and survival details the choices and dilemmas faced by an individual under extreme duress. Margolin's moving account illuminates universal issues of human rights under a totalitarian regime and ultimately the triumph of human dignity and decency. This translation by Stefani Hoffman is the first English-language edition of this classic work, originally written in Russian in 1947 and published in an abridged French version in 1949. Circulated in a Russian samizdat version in the USSR, it exerted considerable influence on the formation of the genre of Gulag memoirs and was eagerly read by Soviet dissidents. Timothy Snyder's foreword and Katherine Jolluck's introduction contextualize the creation of this remarkable account of a Jewish world ravaged in the Stalinist empire—and the life of the man who was determined to reveal the horrors of the gulag camps and the plight of the zeks to the world. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Julius Margolin Size 2.8MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/T79nT9wAhC5c https://devuploads.com/6tx97lchvqbj

📮 Richard Beauchamp: Medieval England's Knight by David Brindley (.ePUB) 'An avaricious knight errant with a taste for the spectacular' or 'one of the few upright and honest figures in these difficult years'? Contemporary views of the most colourful, wealthy and powerful knight of medieval England varied wildly, and they continue to do so today. Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, was at the centre of power in the first half of the fifteenth century and, as Henry V's closest friend, accompanied the English warrior king to France to pursue the English claim to the French Crown in the Hundred Years War. Richard Beauchamp had an unrivalled reputation for his skills in the strategy of war and diplomacy, and secured Normandy in 1420. He arranged Henry V's marriage and, following the king's death, was appointed as Henry VI's tutor and guardian. In 1431 he encouraged the ecclesiastical court of the Inquisition to try to burn Joan of Arc at the stake for heresy. In Richard Beauchamp, David Brindley pens a fascinating biography of this medieval chivalric hero. ♻️ Book's Info: Author David Brindley Size 51MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/kdXiZOEZRV8J https://devuploads.com/pnxwto4pqqlc

Sixteen-year-old Wren Vesper is just like every other kid she knows: trying to survive high school and figure out what she wants to do with her life. But when news of her grandmother's death reaches her, she discovers she is not like everyone else, and that question about what to do with her life may no longer be hers to answer. Wren and her mother return to Sedgwick Cove, the tiny coastal Maine town where her mother grew up, and there she learns the truth about the family she barely knows: the Vespers aren't just a family: they're a coven. Centuries ago, a bargain was struck and a powerful spell cast: As long as three Vesper witches lived in Sedgwick Cove, the town would be safe from the dark forces that threatened its borders. Wren's mother reluctantly agrees to take her own mother's place as the third Vesper witch, but when she disappears under mysterious circumstances, it falls to Wren to navigate the dark and winding world of witchcraft she never knew existed. Can Wren step into her own power before it's too late? 2. Keepers of Forest and Flame2. Keepers of Forest and Flame - "The play is the thing..." Wren Vesper's life has changed dramatically in just a few short days. She and her mother have moved to their old family home in Sedgwick Cove, Maine. She discovered that she is, in fact, a witch. And rather than spending the start of her summer vacation hanging out with her friends, she spent it defeating an ancient and terrible Darkness hellbent on laying claim to her magic. Now all she wants is to have an uneventful summer, beginning her magical education and sunning herself at the beach. Unfortunately, uneventful isn’t really an option in a place like Sedgwick Cove. Before she knows it, Wren has been swept into helping with the summer solstice celebration, including the elaborate pageant that the local high school students put on every year. But beneath the excited buzz of preparations, a plot is lurking, one that could unleash the very Darkness that Wren nearly lost her life to defeat. Because the Darkness is only sleeping, licking its wounds and biding its time in the shadows. Wren might have won the battle, but on the night of the solstice, she may just lose the war. 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/B62Qw4U9jWnJ https://devuploads.com/hjlgj4lav185
