From the New York Times bestselling author of Enders Game comes a brand-new series following a teen who wakes up on an abandoned Earth to discover that he’s a clone. Laz is a side-stepper: a teen with the incredible power to jump his consciousness to alternate versions of himself in parallel worlds. All his life, there was no mistake that a little side-stepping couldn’t fix. Until Laz wakes up one day in a cloning facility on a seemingly abandoned Earth. Laz finds himself surrounded by hundreds of other clones, all dead, and quickly realizes that he too must be a clone of his original self. Laz has no idea what happened to the world he remembers as vibrant and bustling only yesterday, and he struggles to survive in the barren wasteland he’s now trapped in. But the question that haunts him isn’t why was he created, but instead, who woke him up…and why? There’s only a single bright spot in Laz’s new life: one other clone appears to still be alive, although she remains asleep. Deep down, Laz believes that this girl holds the key to the mysteries plaguing him, but if he wakes her up, she’ll be trapped in this hellscape with him. This is one problem that Laz can’t just side-step his way out of.

The apocalypse has passed, and it wasn't so bad. Energy has manifested to physicality, the mind has taken second to the workings of the heart, and the world is genuinely happy. But when death itself becomes inconsequential humanity turns to bloodshed, delving into the aesthetics and glory of battle. Amongst the ranks come the Wakers, the prophets of the end times who prevented self-destruction in unity of all people, through art, music, and the subcultures. Rend, the white swordsman with a five-foot blade and lavender eyes searches for meaning in a world without consequence, recalling how the days came to pass with those who cross his path. And on this path he will find a place called "The Valley" to protect...single handedly from ten thousand soldiers, a pinball playing lawyer turned general, and the unluckiest boy to ever live. And amidst the constant battle, somewhere music plays...

Babies who cry a lot, or are unsettled in the night, are common sources of concern for parents and, consequently, costly problems for health services. In this book, Ian St James-Roberts summarises the evidence concerning infant crying and sleeping problems to provide a new evidence-based approach to these common challenges for parents and health services. The book begins by distinguishing between infant and parental parts of the problems and provides guidelines for assessing each issue. Topics covered include: • the pros and cons of 'infant-demand' versus 'limit-setting' forms of parenting • causes of infant 'colicky' crying and night waking • effects of night-time separations on infant attachments • interventions such as swaddling, herbal remedies, and 'controlled crying.' Since there is now firm evidence that parents' vulnerabilities and cultural backgrounds affect how problems are defined and guidance is acted upon, and that parents who wish to do so can reduce infant crying and unsettled night waking, social factors are considered alongside medical issues. Translating research evidence into practical tools and guidance, The Origins, Prevention and Treatment of Infant Crying and Sleeping Problems will be essential reading for a wide range of healthcare professionals including mental health staff, social workers, midwives, health visitors, community physicians and paediatricians.

The British crime fiction writer Peter Cheyney is the creator of the American FBI agent Lemmy Caution and the English detective Slim Callaghan. These characters were constructed as a British response to the hardboiled detectives of American fiction. In later years Cheyney’s style matured with the ‘Dark’ books, drawing wide praise during World War II for bringing more realism to espionage fiction. Although his works have suffered neglect in recent times, the fame of Cheyney’s novels in the post-war period cannot be underestimated, having sold over 5 million copies. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Peter Cheyney’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Systems programming provides the foundation for the world's computation. Writing performance-sensitive code requires a programming language that puts programmers in control of how memory, processor time, and other system resources are used. The Rust systems programming language combines that control with a modern type system that catches broad classes of common mistakes, from memory management errors to data races between threads. With this practical guide, experienced systems programmers will learn how to successfully bridge the gap between performance and safety using Rust. Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff, and Leonora Tindall demonstrate how Rust's features put programmers in control over memory consumption and processor use by combining predictable performance with memory safety and trustworthy concurrency. You'll learn: Rust's fundamental data types and the core concepts of ownership and borrowing How to write flexible, efficient code with traits and generics How to write fast, multithreaded code without data races Rust's key power tools: closures, iterators, and asynchronous programming Collections, strings and text, input and output, macros, unsafe code, and foreign function interfaces This revised, updated edition covers the Rust 2021 Edition.

Now that Eka and Christelle have survived the rediscovery of the magical world erased from their memories as children, the family betrayal that led to their lost childhoods, and attacks by a celestial being from another universe along with his minions, you’d think they deserved a really long vacation. Nope. Now, as they settle into their new found magical abilities and world, they must confront new challenges and dangers as they return to Eka’s paternal home, Hawaii. Eka is no longer running from the most devastating moment in her life, the night her parents and brother died. But now, as she’s forced to deal with her father’s Waker family, her hybrid magic still refuses to fit into the Waker mold, leaving her an outsider again, while yet another Waker community reminds her how much she isn’t like them. Especially her grandmother, Haipo. And how can Eka help Christelle in the fight against Lintu if no one is able, or willing, to help her understand her magical abilities? Even if she could use her magic, with Lintu interested in her abilities, maybe she’s better off moving under his rader. Unfortunately, Christelle charges headfirst into any conflict with him and Eka can’t just let her best friend go it alone. On top of that, Eka begins to wonder if her brother might have survived, instead of dying with her parents. Can she believe the grandmother that wanted her destroyed? Christelle is determined to stop Lintu from hurting another living being. With her gifts now at a celestial level, she believes she has the power to stop him. Unfortunately, as strong as they are, these new abilities are not quite working for her. She needs Gaia to help her get them under control, but the only way to reach her seems to be a scavenger hunt/rally where the prize comes from Gaia herself. But to compete she has to do the one thing she thought she’d never do since learning that her Waker family had betrayed her. Work with Wakers. This might just be one of the hardest thing she’s ever done without loosing her mind. If you enjoy light-hearted fantasy adventures with plenty of action and strong friendships, you'll love the Adventures of Eka and Christelle.

Sleep problems are among the most common, urgent and undermining troubles parents meet. This book describes Dilys Daws' pioneering method of therapy for sleep problems, honed over 40 years of work with families: brief psychoanalytic therapy with parents and infants together. Offering tried and tested ways of helping parents work things out better with their babies when such problems arise, this new edition of Dilys Daws’ classic work, updated with expert help from Sarah Sutton, frees professionals from the burden of feeling they need to rush to give advice to families, showing instead how to begin the challenging journey of discovering new emotions that every baby brings. It sheds light on the sleep problem in the context of a whole range of aspects of the early world: the regulation of babies’ physiological states; dreams and nightmares; the development of separateness; separation and attachment problems; and connections with feeding and weaning. This much-needed, compassionate and well-informed guide to helping parents and babies with sleep problems draws on twenty-first century development research and rich clinical wisdom to offer ways of understanding sleep problems in each individual family context, with all its particular pressures and possibilities. It will be treasured by new parents struggling with sleeplessness and is enormously valuable for anyone working with parents and their babies.

Two women discover friendship, adventure, and danger in a hidden world full of lost memories and magic. Eka stays in motion since losing her family, running from one adrenaline rush to the next and away from any connection. Christelle loves her close-knit family, but longs to spread her wings and explore the world away from their protectiveness. When an accident leaves Eka at Christelle’s doorstep, memories of magic, hidden within our everyday world, come flooding back to both of them. As they find themselves awakened to this new world, they also find that no one around them is aware of anything unusual, leaving them to navigate this reality together. At first, they seem unable to work with each other. Christelle is skeptical and cautious while Eka is ready to dive in blind-folded. But somehow, as they stumble through each new aspect of the magic, Eka finds herself trusting someone for the first time, while Christelle begins to find a strength outside her family. And, as their friendship grows, unique magical abilities grow within them. But soon a dangerous and destructive force, connected to their lost past, returns, destroying people around them and dredging up the darkest moments of their lives. When this force takes a personal interest in the two, both women will need to draw on their wits and fledgling magic if they have any chance of stopping it. But will their new abilities be strong enough when that moment arrives? Or will their newly discovered fears from the past cause them to fall back on old ways and destroy the friendship they’ll need to save themselves and everyone they love. If you enjoy light-hearted fantasy adventures with plenty of action and strong friendships, you'll love the Adventures of Eka and Christelle.
