Discover the fate of the original black Magician, Pug, and his motley crew of agents who safeguard the world of Trigia, as prophecy becomes truth in the first book of the last ever Midkemian trilogy. The Darkness is coming…The Kingdom is plagued by rumour and instability. Kingdom spies in Kesh have been disappearing - either murdered, or turned to the enemy side. Information has become scant and unreliable; but one thing appears clear. Dark forces are on the move…Since Pug and the Conclave of Shadows enforced peace after the last Keshian invasion, the Empire has offered no threat. But now factions are rising and Jim Dasher reports mobilizations of large forces in the Keshian Confederacy. As the men of the West answer the King´s call to muster, Martin con Doin - left as caretaker of Crydee Keep - will suddenly be confronted with the vanguard of an invading army. He reminds himself that he is a year older than his legendary ancestor, Prince Arutha, was when he stood firm against the Tsurani invasion, but Arutha had an army to command, and Martin is left with old men and young boys. Massive events are about to unfold, events which threaten the future of all human life in Midkemia…. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Joyce.

As a species, we have an extraordinary ability to create works of art that elevate, expand and transform what it means to be human. The novels of Henry James can communicate the inner world of one human being to another. The music of Wagner or Schubert takes us on an emotional roller-coaster ride as we give ourselves up to their sublime sounds. These are the expressions of what Marcus du Sautoy calls 'the creativity code'. Yet some believe that the new developments in AI and machine learning are so sophisticated that they can learn what it means to be human - that they can crack the code. Technology has always allowed us to extend our understanding of being human. But will the new tools of AI allow to us to create in different ways?Could recent developments in AI and machine learning also mean that it is no longer just human beings who can create art? And creativity, like consciousness, is one of those words that is hard to pin down: what is it that we are challenging these machines to do?In The Creativity Code, Marcus du Sautoy examines what these new developments might mean, for both the creative arts and his own subject: mathematics. From the Turing test to AlphaGo, are there limits to what algorithms can achieve, or might they be able to perfectly mimic human creativity? And what's more, could they help Marcus to see more deeply into the complex mathematical problems with which he so often wrestles? 1. Language: English. Narrator: Rich Keeble.

Set 20 years after the events of the Riftwar, Prince of the Blood follows the adventures of Prince Arutha´s sons in the dangerously unstable Great Empire of Kesh. Twenty years have passed since the end of the Riftwar. Prince Borric con Doin and his twin brother Erland have been summoned back to their father´s court in Krondor. Prince Arutha has decided he needs to tame his spirited progeny and teach them statecraft and responsibility. Shortly after they arrive home, therefore, he orders them to Kesh, to represent the Isles at the Empress´ 75th jubilee. But before the new ambassadors depart, they are attacked. The foiled assassin´s suicide reawakens fears that the Nighthawks - a brotherhood of killers for hire - are active once more. But the truth is far more disturbing: The assassin was a member of the Royal House of Kesh…. Despite the dangers, Borric and Erland´s mission continues, it being vital to sustaining the fragile peace between the two nations. But the brothers have little idea of the exotic world of Kesh, the strange players at this alien court, nor the hidden forces intent upon tearing the empire apart. 1. Language: English.

There's a fundamental tension buried within the heart of the CIA's mission to protect the American people: between democratic accountability and the inherent need for secrecy. Ultimately, it's US citizens who bear the responsibility of staying informed about what the CIA has done and continues to do.In these 24 engrossing lectures, explore the roles the CIA has played in recent American history, from the eve of the Cold War against communism to the 21st-century War on Terror. You'll delve into some of the most remarkable successes, including the sound intelligence CIA spy planes provided during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the admirable performance of the CIA throughout much of the Vietnam War, as well as historic failures, including the agency's slowness spotting the rise of radical Islamism (including the September 11 attacks).In many cases, the lectures lead you to consider important questions about the nature of the CIA and its role in shaping modern history. What makes particular regions of the world ripe for the CIA's attention? How successful are techniques like drone strikes, rendition, and interrogation? How does the CIA compare with its depiction in much of popular culture?Here, in Professor Wilford's unbiased exploration of the CIA's inner workings, is everything you need to come to your own conclusions about what ´´the Agency" might have done right, what it might have done wrong, and what it should do in the future.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. 1.

Most of us have no clue of what is happening around us. We move about our lives blind fully believing that we are fully aware of what's happening, yet we live and base everything we do only on what we see or hear. We forget that there is so much more to each of us than what lies above the surface.If you're interested in quelling those inner thoughts that creep up into your mind without warning, an inner critic constantly berating you about what you did wrong, or something that feels like a devil on your shoulder telling you to do something that everyone else thinks it's crazy, you don't need to worry. There is an explanation of all of that; a special and privileged knowledge that is only explained on the Enneagram symbol.By learning what the Enneagram really means, you can come to understand your inner emotions, your three bits of intelligence, and what really motivates you and moves you to act the way you do.In this book, we attempt to explain:The history of the EnneagramHow to read oneHow to find your personality typeWhat drives you to behave the way you doHow to understand those close to youHow to build a better working environmentHow to use the Enneagram to understand yourselfThe nine different personality typesAnd how to find the right social cluster you belong toIf you've had a lot of questions about yourself or you feel like you don't fit into any environment you're in, it could be because you haven't found your social cluster. Rather than sitting back, pointing fingers at others, or becoming self-critical of yourself, the Enneagram could be the answer you need.It will open your eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world; it is insightful and can answer many of your questions you might have in life. If that sounds like you then this book is meant for you. Rather than to continue pushing on in spite of your 1. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Buzonas.

´Portugal is not all that far away, or exotic, or dangerous, but it felt like a huge stretch for me to leave my partner, family, job and home and just go off. An overland solo trip lasting months in an ancient little campervan was not the kind of thing I did. But it was something I was about to do.´In her debut memoir, A Van of One´s Own, Biddy Wells tells the story of how, propelled by a thirst for peace and quiet, for a modest adventure and, perhaps, for freedom, she left for Portugal on her own, with only her old campervan, Myfanwy, and her GPS, Tanya, for company. Having left just about everything behind, her solo trip forces her to face her fears, her past and herself. The road provides the perfect canvas to connect the dots between a past breakdown and her present need for freedom as she reflects on her own life, her relationship, her family and the world around her - to see whether her life still has room for her in it. As she meets wise and not-so- wise people, members of the campervan community and friendly locals, her outlook on life begins to shift, and a chance meeting in a bar leads to the person who will put her on the right track. But will she go back home to Wales? And what is the meaning of ´home´?A Van of One´s Own is a journey through the breathtaking scenery of France, Spain and finally Portugal, populated by colourful characters and the roar of the ocean, the taste of fresh fish and the grind of the asphalt; but, more importantly, it is a journey through past memories and present conflicts to inner peace. 1.
