Описание:
Hugo and Shirly Jackason award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight
Two months since the stars fell...
Two months of silence, while a world held its breath.
Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route.
So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist--an informational topologist with half his mind gone--as an interface between here and there.
Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find.

Описание: 'A revelatory classic' Maria Popova 'A spiritual polymath, the first and possibly greatest' Deepak ChopraWhat we have forgotten is that thoughts and words are conventions, and that it is fatal to take conventions too seriouslyToo often we fall into the trap of anticipating the future while lamenting the past and in the midst of this negative loop we forget how to live in the now. In this iconic and prescient text, pioneering Zen scholar Alan Watts shows us how, in an age of unprecedented anxiety, we must embrace the present in order to live a fulfilling life.

Описание: This book describes version 4 of CATS CM(R). This methodology for contract managementcan be used in both private and public sector organizations, and is valid for both demandand supply side.Contract management is the realization of intended contract objectives by proactivelymonitoring the fulfillment of all contractually established responsibilities, obligations,procedures, agreements, conditions and rates, resolving all ambiguities, contradictions andwhite spaces, managing all contract-related risks, and implementing all desired changes tothe contract, during the execution phase.CATS CM(R) offers a methodical and scalable approach to contract management. Itprovides a description of the principles, roles, and main issues for the contract managerand the best way of working. In addition to a description of the methodology, CATS CM(R)version 4 also offers specific tools for implementing contract management, for policy aswell as for processes.Increasingly, organizations recognize the importance of being in control of their businessecosystem. CATS CM(R) assists organizations to increase control of their joint responsibilityboth from a procurement and delivery point of view. A large number of organizations havechosen CATS CM(R) as the standard for their contract management processes.This new version of CATS CM(R) has been developed with these various practices in mind.CATS CM(R) version 4 is based on the principle that the management of a contract in execution has strong similarities on both sides of the contract, i.e. demand and supply; both can best be described as working in conjunction with each other.This book is intended for all who are responsible for, or deal with the execution ofcontracts: contract managers, business managers, delivery managers, project managers,service managers, facility managers, buyers, procurement managers, compliance managers,risk managers, account managers, sales managers and HR managers, along with theirdirectors and board members on both sides of the contract.

Описание:
Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts' Echopraxia, the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight.
It's the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself.
Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cat's-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands. Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, he's turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat. But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out.
Now he's trapped on a ship bound for the center of the solar system. To his left is a grief-stricken soldier, obsessed by whispered messages from a dead son. To his right is a pilot who hasn't yet found the man she's sworn to kill on sight. A vampire and its entourage of zombie bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind. And dead ahead, a handful of rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they will only call The Angels of the Asteroids.
Their pilgrimage brings Dan Bruks, the fossil man, face-to-face with the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since the origin of thought itself.
