The Last Lecture

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Dark Nights 2: Resurrection

Six years after the events described in Christopher A. Gray’s foundational science fiction novel Dark Nights, the terrible quantum constant-based disease NETP has begun taking its toll on the alternate’s population. In Dark Nights 2: Resurrection, the political and corporate forces that move into place to take advantage of uncontrollable circumstances, and the rise of another incredibly powerful global AI set the stage for drama, violence and brutal political plays that can only end in one of two ways: peaceful co-existence or eventual annihilation of everything on both planets. Intelligence Agent Michael Bishop, Senator Doug Lockwood, investigative reporter Kyla Aquino and Professor Norman Stravinsky form the only possible alliance that can hope to thread the intricate and fascinatingly dangerous threats. The twists and turns in Dark Nights 2: Resurrection, the reality of interplanetary political competition, the unrelenting quest for technological superiority and the overarching desire for humankind on both planets to survive against all odds, form the backdrop for a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from cover to cover.
