RIPPLE Grab this GREAT physical book now at a limited time discounted price! Ripple refers to both the cryptocurrency XRP, as well as its digital payment protocol which is being used by various banks and institutions all over the world. To understand the world of Ripple and what sets it apart from the rest, you will first need to understand the basic workings of the system itself.In reality, Ripple has become more known for its payment solution and technology than for its cryptocurrency. This is because within the Ripple system, money can be transferred in whatever form the users prefer. The system allows transactions in US dollar, Euro, Yen, Pound, Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, or XRP. This open source platform makes Ripple easy to integrate into various other existing infrastructure and protocols, which is an advantage for both Ripple and its community of users. The Ripple system operates in a very close system of trust between different parties, and there is also a system of debt or credit lines involved in the process. To simplify the process, the sender will log on to his Ripple gateway (conduit or agent), deposits the money into this Ripple gateway, and sends the instruction for the funds to be released to the receiver. The receiver will receive the funds by logging on to his preferred receiver. In this Ripple payment protocol, the transfers are not limited to money. Cryptocurrencies can be sent as long as the gateways are able to transact in them. Gold and other precious materials may also be transacted. The important thing is to find gateways that are willing and able to perform the transaction. Suppose, for instance, that the sender wants to send $1000 to the receiver, but the sender's own gateway does not have a direct trust relationship with the receiver's gateway. What the Ripple algorithm will attempt to do is to find a chain, or several intermediary gateways which can act as the conduit for the transaction to go through. Ripple's protocol will try to find the shortest and quickest link between gateways in order to process the transaction. Now, what if the Ripple network has attempted to find a chain of trust between two different gateways to process a transfer, but cannot locate a chain? This is where the Ripple cryptocurrency or XRP comes into play. XRP may be used within the Ripple network to convert money or goods being transferred. All currencies and goods will have an XRP price, and the sender can then choose to convert to XRP, send the XRP through the chain, to get to the receiver. The receiver, meanwhile, can opt to convert the XRP back to the original currency from his own gateway.In the Ripple network, users are transacting currencies, commodities, and other units of value seamlessly. Chris Larsen, one of the co-founders of Ripple Labs and who also has extensive experience in digital finance (having founded e-Loan and Prosper), referred to the Ripple protocol as "HTTP for money". Larsen likens Ripple to gold as a standard of currency, because gold requires liquidity, trust, and utility to become a standard. "It's analogous to the Bitcoin networks. Any user can use the protocol just like they would HTTP. You can build on top of it without licensing it from anybody,"...... Here Is What You'll Learn About... History Of Ripple How Does Ripple Work? Ripple And Other Cryptocurrencies Investing In Ripple Areas Of Concern For Ripple Current Happenings In Ripple The Future Of Cryptocurrency Advice For Investing In Ripple Much, much more!

"Our understanding of how the human brain performs mathematical calculations is far from complete. In The Number Sense, Stanislas Dehaene offers readers an enlightening exploration of the mathematical mind. Using research showing that human infants have a rudimentary number sense, Dehaene suggests that this sense is as basic as our perception of color, and that it is wired into the brain. But how then did we leap from this basic number ability to trigonometry, calculus, and beyond? Dehaene shows that it was the invention of symbolic systems of numerals that started us on the climb to higher mathematics. Tracing the history of numbers, we learn that in early times, people indicated numbers by pointing to part of their bodies, and how Roman numerals were replaced by modern numbers. On the way, we also discover many fascinating facts: for example, because Chinese names for numbers are short, Chinese people can remember up to nine or ten digits at a time, while English-speaking people can only remember seven. A fascinating look at the crossroads where numbers and neurons intersect, The Number Sense offers an intriguing tour of how the structure of the brain shapes our mathematical abilities, and how math can open up a window on the human mind"--Provided by publisher.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY New York Times bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton’s riveting new thriller combines the nail-biting suspense of a serial-killer investigation with clear-eyed scientific and social extrapolation to create a future that seems not merely plausible but inevitable. A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family—composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone “brothers” have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies. Or maybe not so friendly. At least that’s what the murder of a North clone in the English city of Newcastle suggests to Detective Sidney Hurst. Sid is a solid investigator who’d like nothing better than to hand off this hot potato of a case. The way he figures it, whether he solves the crime or not, he’ll make enough enemies to ruin his career. Yet Sid’s case is about to take an unexpected turn: because the circumstances of the murder bear an uncanny resemblance to a killing that took place years ago on the planet St. Libra, where a North clone and his entire household were slaughtered in cold blood. The convicted slayer, Angela Tramelo, has always claimed her innocence. And now it seems she may have been right. Because only the St. Libra killer could have committed the Newcastle crime. Problem is, Angela also claims that the murderer was an alien monster. Now Sid must navigate through a Byzantine minefield of competing interests within the police department and the world’s political and economic elite . . . all the while hunting down a brutal killer poised to strike again. And on St. Libra, Angela, newly released from prison, joins a mission to hunt down the elusive alien, only to learn that the line between hunter and hunted is a thin one. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Peter F. Hamilton’s The Abyss Beyond Dreams. Praise for Great North Road “A mesmerizing page-turner.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A gripping saga that blends wilderness survival, police procedural, political and social intrigue, and dynastic sf into a mammoth tale featuring believable characters and exceptionally skilled storytelling.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A perfect introduction to [Hamilton’s] gifts for character design, dialogue, and sheer, big-idea-driven storytelling.”—Booklist (starred review) “Compelling and original . . . an awesome novel [with] plenty of action.”—SFRevu “One very compelling and entertaining science fiction novel.”—SF Site “Simply brilliant . . . an astonishing achievement.”—Tor.com

*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *AN XXL BEST RAPPER-PENNED BIOGRAPHY* “A gripping journey.”—People The highly anticipated memoir from hip-hop icon Rick Ross chronicles his coming of age amid Miami’s crack epidemic, his star-studded controversies and his unstoppable rise to fame. Rick Ross is an indomitable presence in the music industry, but few people know his full story. Now, for the first time, Ross offers a vivid, dramatic and unexpectedly candid account of his early childhood, his tumultuous adolescence and his dramatic ascendancy in the world of hip-hop. Born William Leonard Roberts II, Ross grew up “across the bridge,” in a Miami at odds with the glitzy beaches, nightclubs and yachts of South Beach. In the aftermath of the 1980 race riots and the Mariel boatlift, Ross came of age at the height of the city’s crack epidemic, when home invasions and execution-style killings were commonplace. Still, in the midst of the chaos and danger that surrounded him, Ross flourished, first as a standout high school football player and then as a dope boy in Carol City’s notorious Matchbox housing projects. All the while he honed his musical talent, overcoming setback after setback until a song called “Hustlin’” changed his life forever. From the making of “Hustlin’” to his first major label deal with Def Jam, to the controversy surrounding his past as a correctional officer and the numerous health scares, arrests and feuds he had to transcend along the way, Hurricanes is a revealing portrait of one of the biggest stars in the rap game, and an intimate look at the birth of an artist.

High comedy, low pratfalls, and thrilling derring-do combine in a magical and fantastic epic about the Ancient and Honorable Kingdom of the Hydrangeans; the mighty, though rather stupid, warrior Gudge; and the mysterious Black Weasel. "Confusion reigns in this often funny, frequently precious fantasy about usurped thrones and lost heirs. After the Gorgorian barbarians conquer the civilized kingdom of Hydrangea, their leader Gudge makes himself king, marries Hydrangean Princess Artemisia and settles down to a highly satisfactory life of drinking and debauchery. Royal triplets, separated at birth because of a Gorgorian superstition that multiple births suggest the mother's infidelity, receive very different upbringings. The only girl, Avena, is brought up in the palace as Prince Arbol, heir to the throne and a fearsome swordsman. One brother, Wulfrith, is raised by a shepherd; although a young ewe is his favorite companion, his size makes him a fearsome battler. The other brother, Dunwin, reared by the outlawed wizard Clootie, develops into a talented magician. To this basic brew Watt-Evans (the Ethshar series) and Friesner (Gnome Man's Land ) have added a couple of dragons, some attempted seductions, mistaken identities and misguided spells to produce a lighthearted fantasy." -- Publishers Weekly
