This book is FREE for download. Return to The Rosewoods with this short story that readers have been begging for. A little slice of life to remind you what you love about Brooklyn and Brady. And to introduce you to what’s next. Brooklyn Prescott is having an amazing summer working at the Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence. She’s living with her bestie, Emmie, and is spending her days working in the stables with Brady and James, developing their new therapeutic riding program for people with disabilities. Mucking out stalls, caring for the horses, and endless hours in the stables are a small price to pay to get the summer holiday of her dreams. Except, it’s not much of a holiday—more like crazy hard work, no matter how rewarding it is. Brooklyn’s beat, falling into bed exhausted at the end of each day, just to wake up and do it all over again. So, when her friends decide she needs a break, they pack her a bag and send her off for a weekend of fun and pampering. But to where (Wait. You’ve seen the cover, right)? With who? (Oh, come on, you’ve figured that out, too, I know you have!) To do…what? (Finally, a mystery!) And what will she discover? (Ooooh, a twist? Perhaps. Read it to find out.)

Now updated and revised--from Forbes senior editor, a compelling portrait of American rapper Jay Z and his rise from the Brooklyn projects to the top of the business world. Only a handful of people embody the legacy of hip-hop and entrepreneurship like Jay Z. A modern-day King Midas, everything he touches--sports bars, streaming services, record labels, and cognac--turns to gold. How exactly did he do it? Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg reveals the story of Jay Z's legendary rise from the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn to stages and corner offices worldwide. He draws on over 100 interviews with those who knew Jay Z from the beginning: his classmates at George Westinghouse High School; the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; and the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on the music. Also bearing witness are the artists who worked alongside him, including J. Cole and Alicia Keys. Jay Z's life is a blueprint for any hustler, businessperson, and entrepreneur who seeks to build something spectacular.

Beautiful, kaleidoscopic . . . everyone should be watching Megan Bradbury from now on' Eimear McBride, Baileys Prize-winning author of A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing New York: A city that inspires. A city that draws people in. A city where everyone is watching, waiting to see what will happen next. 1967. Robert Mapplethorpe knows he is an artist. From his childhood home in Queens he yearns for the heat and excitement of the city, the press of other people's bodies. He wants to be watched, he wants to be known. 1891.

The Mystery of Consciousness

ISBN: 9780940322066

It has long been one of the most fundamental problems of philosophy, and it is now, John Searle writes, "the most important problem in the biological sciences": What is consciousness? Is my inner awareness of myself something separate from my body? In what began as a series of essays in The New York Review of Books, John Searle evaluates the positions on consciousness of such well-known scientists and philosophers as Francis Crick, Gerald Edelman, Roger Penrose, Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, and Israel Rosenfield. He challenges claims that the mind works like a computer, and that brain functions can be reproduced by computer programs. With a sharp eye for confusion and contradiction, he points out which avenues of current research are most likely to come up with a biological examination of how conscious states are caused by the brain. Only when we understand how the brain works will we solve the mystery of consciousness, and only then will we begin to understand issues ranging from artificial intelligence to our very nature as human beings.
