Pressured by her unscrupulous family to marry a wealthy man she detests, the young Clarissa Harlowe is tricked into fleeing…
with the witty and debonair Robert Lovelace and places herself under his protection. Lovelace, however, proves himself to be an untrustworthy rake whose vague promises of marriage are accompanied by unwelcome and increasingly brutal sexual advances. And yet, Clarissa finds his charm alluring, her scrupulous sense of virtue tinged with unconfessed desire. Told through a complex series of interweaving letters, Clarissa is a richly ambiguous study of a fatally attracted couple and a work of astonishing power and immediacy. A huge success when it first appeared in 1747, and translated into French and German, it remains one of the greatest of all European novels.

"TO AGE WELL, YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS THE KEY PLAYER YOU NEED TO HARNESS. READ THIS GREAT BOOK TO UNDERSTAND…
HOW." Professor Tim Spector, Author and Nutrition expert at ZoeFrom gut health to brain health, inflammation to hormonal shifts, Immune to Age is the ultimate preventative care framework that equips readers with the knowledge and tools to reclaim control over their health and ensure every year is a good one.In an era of unprecedented longevity and personalised health information, we have more tools than ever to extend our lives. Yet, despite these advancements, few of us understand the hidden processes that shape our health, leaving many of us struggling to unlock the secrets of staying well and thriving at every life stage.Long misunderstood as merely the body's first line of defence against disease, we are only now beginning to understand the crucial role that the immune system plays in how we age. This mind-bogglingly complex network - intricately woven throughout our entire being, from brain to big toe - drives everything from metabolic function to brain health, and it is the single greatest arbiter of our lifespan and, more importantly, our healthspan.In Immune to Age, immunologist Dr Jenna Macciochi blends cutting-edge scientific expertise with beautiful storytelling and actionable advice to explore the importance of good immune health at every stage of life, from conception right through to our wintering years. This is a paradigm shift in the way we think about time, ageing, and being truly well.

This concise text offers an introduction to discrete mathematics for undergraduate students in computer science and mathematics. Mathematics educators consider…
it vital that their students be exposed to a course in discrete methods that introduces them to combinatorial mathematics and to algebraic and logical structures focusing on the interplay between computer science and mathematics. The present volume emphasizes combinatorics, graph theory with applications to some stand network optimization problems, and algorithms to solve these problems.Chapters 0-3 cover fundamental operations involving sets and the principle of mathematical induction, and standard combinatorial topics: basic counting principles, permutations, combinations, the inclusion-exclusion principle, generating functions, recurrence relations, and an introduction to the analysis of algorithms. Applications are emphasized wherever possible and more than 200 exercises at the ends of these chapters help students test their grasp of the material.Chapters 4 and 5 survey graphs and digraphs, including their connectedness properties, applications of graph coloring, and more, with stress on applications to coding and other related problems. Two important problems in network optimization - the minimal spanning tree problem and the shortest distance problem - are covered in the last two chapters. A very brief nontechnical exposition of the theory of computational complexity and NP-completeness is outlined in the appendix.

Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage - the largest, most destructive cyberattack the world had ever seen.This is the true story of the hunt to unmask Sandworm: the group of hackers behind the attacks working in service of Russia's military intelligence agency. Following the years-long, globe-spanning work of the detectives tracking them, Operation Sandworm also exposes the larger story of a new global arms race, and the geopolitical chaos it is unleashing on the world. A narrative full of twists and turns, it captures a chilling new reality: in a war without borders, all of us live on the frontline.
