Book Description
Fanfiction clashes with reality when an anonymous fic writer meets the real-life celebrity behind her stories ... who happens to secretly be her top reader , in a romantic comedy perfect for fans of Thank You For Listening and Mr. Wrong Number. By day, Diana works as a line cook at her family's French café in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, juggling brunch service and finicky customers. She's happy to help at the café, but it's financially in dire straits, and she's not sure how much longer she can help keep things going. By night, she escapes into the Sam Raymond fandom, penning smutty real-person fanfiction (RPF) about the dreamy rockstar-of-the-moment for thousands of readers. And those readers are eating it up more than usual after a vocal injury that's sidelined Sam's tour. One of Diana's most avid followers, the mysterious "S," has even sent her a series of flirtatious DMs on Tumblr. When the real Sam Raymond shows up at the Diana's café for brunch, her carefully separated worlds collide (and she's gotta make the best goddamn lemon crème crêpes of her life). Despite her nerves, the crêpes are a hit, and Sam keeps coming back for more; soon, the two strike up an easy friendship over their shared taste in music and love of NYC. But Sam has secrets of his own. He's finding it harder and harder to suppress his panic attacks, with setbacks slowing his vocal recovery and threatening a potential end to his singing career. The only comfort he finds is in interacting with a clever online fic writer in, embarrassingly, his own fandom. And then he meets Diana. As Sam isolates himself away from his normally chaotic life, he becomes intrigued by this cute chef and her big, boisterous family. He can't help but spend more time at the classic French bistro they call home. As the writer and the rockstar grow closer, Diana must balance her connection with S and attraction to Sam— and her guilt in keeping up her pseudo-Sam-themed stories, which she knows is her best chance to get out of the kitchen and become a professional writer. Meanwhile, Sam is forced to confront the anxiety threatening to break him once and for all, or he risks losing both his connection with Diana and his career. Will this end in OTP or disaster?

Book Description
The real need for our world is not that we do EVERYONE'S part; just that we do OUR part. And with all of us working together, we will transform the world. Shane Stanford says: “On my office wall is a picture of a small child who lives in a remote village in sub-Saharan Africa. She is an orphan, having lost most of her family to the HIV/AIDS crisis. Each day, the little girl eats only half of her meager lunch. She takes the other half and puts it into her travel sack, so that she can take the leftovers to her dying aunt. The world might look at this child and assess that her little life has little to offer. But don’t tell the child’s aunt. Without this child’s sacrifice and maturity, her aunt would have no food and would die. In spite of this child not being able to do much for her dying aunt, she does something, every day. The real need for our world is not that we do every part; it’s that we just do our part. And working together to do that something God calls us to do--all of us working together--we will transform this world.” Read an interview with Shane

Book Description
Hegel on Being provides an authoritative treatment of Hegel's entire logic of being. Stephen Houlgate presents the Science of Logic as an important and neglected text within Hegel's oeuvre that should hold a more significant place in the history of philosophy. In the Science of Logic, Hegel set forth a distinctive conception of the most fundamental forms of being through ideas on quality, quantity and measure. Exploring the full trajectory of Hegel's logic of being from quality to measure, this two-volume work by a preeminent Hegel scholar situates Hegel's text in relation to the work of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, and Frege. Volume I: Quality and the Birth of Quantity in Hegel's 'Science of Logic' covers all material on the purpose and method of Hegel's dialectical logic and charts the crucial transition from the concept of quality to that of quantity, as well as providing an original account of Hegel's critique of Kant's antinomies across two chapters.

Book Description
The ambition of this volume is twofold: to provide a comprehensive overview of the field and to serve as an indispensable reference work for anyone who wants to work in it. For example, any philosopher who hopes to make a contribution to the topic of the classical-quantum correspondence will have to begin by consulting Klaas Landsman's chapter. The organization of this volume, as well as the choice of topics, is based on the conviction that the important problems in the philosophy of physics arise from studying the foundations of the fundamental theories of physics. It follows that there is no sharp line to be drawn between philosophy of physics and physics itself. Some of the best work in the philosophy of physics is being done by physicists, as witnessed by the fact that several of the contributors to the volume are theoretical physicists: viz., Ellis, Emch, Harvey, Landsman, Rovelli, 't Hooft, the last of whom is a Nobel laureate. Key features - Definitive discussions of the philosophical implications of modern physics - Masterly expositions of the fundamental theories of modern physics - Covers all three main pillars of modern physics: relativity theory, quantum theory, and thermal physics - Covers the new sciences grown from these theories: for example, cosmology from relativity theory; and quantum information and quantum computing, from quantum theory - Contains special Chapters that address crucial topics that arise in several different theories, such as symmetry and determinism - Written by very distinguished theoretical physicists, including a Nobel Laureate, as well as by philosophers - Definitive discussions of the philosophical implications of modern physics - Masterly expositions of the fundamental theories of modern physics - Covers all three main pillars of modern physics: relativity theory, quantum theory, and thermal physics - Covers the new sciences that have grown from these theories: for example, cosmology from relativity theory; and quantum information and quantum computing, from quantum theory - Contains special Chapters that address crucial topics that arise in several different theories, such as symmetry and determinism - Written by very distinguished theoretical physicists, including a Nobel Laureate, as well as by philosophers
