Описание: **A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

From rising star Jessica Goodman, author of They Wish They Were Us, comes a new fast-paced thriller about two sisters vying for the top spot on their cross-country team--until a teammate's disappearance throws their lives off course.

An utter page-turner. Goodman's voice is razor-sharp and keenly precise. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn! --Tiffany D. Jackson NYT Bestselling Author of White Smoke and Grown

Stella and Ellie Steckler are only a year apart, but their different personalities make their relationship complicated. Stella is single-minded, driven, and she keeps to herself. Cross-country running is her life and she won't let anything get in the way of being the best. Her sister Ellie is a talented runner too, but she also lets herself have fun. She has friends. She goes to parties. She has a life off the course.

The sisters do have one thing in common, though: the new girl, Mila Keene. Both Stecklers' lives are upended when Mila comes to town. At first, Ellie and Stella view the new star athlete as a threat. But soon Ellie can't help but be drawn to her warm, charming personality. After her best friend moved away and her first boyfriend betrayed her, Ellie's been looking for a friend to share her secrets. Stella finds herself noticing the ways she and Mila are similar. Mila is smart and strong--she's someone Stella can finally connect with. As the two get closer, Stella becomes something she vowed she'd never be: distracted.

With regionals approaching and college scouts taking notice, the pressure is on. Each girl has their future on the line and they won't let friendships get in their way. But then, suddenly, Mila goes out on a training run and never returns. No one knows what happened, but all eyes are on the Steckler sisters.

Описание: "ONE OF THIS SUMMER'S BUZZIEST YA READS"--Entertainment Weekly

AN INSTANT INDIEBOUND BESTSELLER

Gossip Girl meets One of Us Is Lying with a dash of The Secret History in this slick, taut murder mystery set against the backdrop of an exclusive prep school on Long Island.

In Gold Coast, Long Island, everything from the expensive downtown shops to the manicured beaches, to the pressed uniforms of Jill Newman and her friends, looks perfect. But as Jill found out three years ago, nothing is as it seems.

Freshman year Jill's best friend, the brilliant, dazzling Shaila Arnold, was killed by her boyfriend. After that dark night on the beach, Graham confessed, the case was closed, and Jill tried to move on.

Now, it's Jill's senior year and she's determined to make it her best yet. After all, she's a senior and a Player--a member of Gold Coast Prep's exclusive, not-so-secret secret society. Senior Players have the best parties, highest grades and the admiration of the entire school. This is going to be Jill's year. She's sure of it.

But when Jill starts getting texts proclaiming Graham's innocence, her dreams of the perfect senior year start to crumble. If Graham didn't kill Shaila, who did? Jill vows to find out, but digging deeper could mean putting her friendships, and her future, in jeopardy.

Описание: A nervy, intense, and expertly crafted thriller that kept me hooked page after page. Dark secrets? Summer camp setting? Complex teen girls? Murder? Count me in. A simply stunning book. --Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces, You'd Be Home Now, and The Agathas

From New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman comes a twisty new thriller about three best friends, one elite summer camp, and the dark secrets that lead to a body in the lake.

Camp Alpine Lake is the only place where Goldie Easton feels safe.

She's always had a special connection to the place, even before she was old enough to attend. The camp is the lifeline of Roxwood, the small town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs, money and prestige to the region. Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents. Goldie's one of them.

Even with her townie background, Goldie has never felt more at home at camp and now she's back as a counselor, desperate for summer to start and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive. Because Goldie has a terrible dark secret she's been keeping and she is more in need of the comfort than ever.

But Goldie's not the only person at camp who has been lying. When a teen turns up dead in the lake late one night, she knows that the death couldn't have been an accident. She also knows that Ava was at the lake that same night.

What did Ava see and what does she know? Why hasn't she said anything to Goldie about the death? Worse--what did Ava do?

But asking questions offers no answers, only broken bonds of lifelong friendship, with hidden danger and betrayals deeper than Goldie ever imagined.

Описание: Dit boek gaat over data, en hoe ermee om te gaan. Vanuit een historische beschrijving van waar wij nu staan aan het einde van de Covid-19 pandemie en alle (technologische) veranderingen die daar het gevolg van zijn geweest, nemen de auteurs de lezer mee naar een toekomst die er al is. Daarbij hebben organisaties de keuze uit twee scenario`s: of een blauw proces volgen van het doorvoeren van drastische kostenreducties waarbij de digitalisering als een efficiencytool wordt ingezet, of kiezen voor Digitale transformatie 4.0 met een disruptief leidmotief. De auteurs zijn deskundigen van diverse pluimage, niet alleen visionairs, maar ook strategen, communicatiecoaches, economen en IT en privacy advocaten. En dit leidt tot vele verrassende en onverwachte inzichten: dit boek kan uw ondernemersvisie op zijn kop zetten!Aan de orde komen de vele technische ontwikkelingen, zoals artificiele intelligentie, blockchain en quantum computers. Maar daarnaast komen ook vele andere aspecten aan de orde zoals psychologie, taal, goed bestuur en `compliance`. De lezer wordt vertrouwd gemaakt met kreten als `emerging technologies` en `disruptors rules`. Al met al biedt het een echt holistische kijk, geillustreerd met vele aansprekende voorbeelden, beelden, statistieken en andere figuren, die het boek verlevendigen. De grootste waarde van het boek is dat ook de stap wordt gemaakt om die theorie te vertalen naar de dagelijkse operatie van een onderneming. Ook door aandacht te besteden aan de juridische aspecten. Dit in het besef dat complexe veranderingen, zeker waar het gaat om slim gebruik van data van bestaande ondernemingen en mensen, niet plaats kunnen vinden zonder grondige kennis van het (Europese) recht en de ervaring en vaardigheid die ook om te zetten in goede afspraken.Besteed een paar dagen aan het doorlezen van dit boek, zodat je als ondernemer je directie, management en zelfs je CIO/CTO `s kan verbazen met de opgedane en actuele kennis. En het helpt je zeker om keuzes te maken voor de toekomst en de eigen strategie, visie en missie van je organisatie aan te passen aan de technologische golf die er over ons heen spoelt. "Kan een boek over data jouw ondernemersvisie op zijn kop zetten? Ja, dat kan met dit boek!" Ernst van Win, Partner De Clercq Advocaten en Notariaat"Dit boek geeft vele handreikingen en doorkijkjes naar hoe het beter kan. De schrijvers zeilen `strak aan de wind`, en zorgen ervoor dat u geprikkeld wordt. We complimenteren de auteurs met deze state-of-the-art bundeling van kennis en kunde!" Wouter Bronsgeest, voorzitter KNVI & Sandra de Waart"Maak niet de fout te denken dat het allemaal zo`n vaart niet zal lopen. Uw voorsprong heeft u nu met dit boek in handen!" Flip Houtman, ondernemer, investeerder en algemeen directeur Ventus Groep

Описание:

In 1760, the French playwright Charles Palissot de Montenoy wrote Les Philosophes - a scandalous farcical comedy about a group of opportunistic self-styled philosophers. Les Philosophes emerged in the charged historical context of the pamphlet wars surrounding the publication of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclop die, and delivered an oblique but acerbic criticism of the intellectuals of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, including the likes of Diderot and Rousseau.

This book presents the first high-quality English translation of the play, including critical apparatus. The translation is based on Olivier Ferret's edition, and renders the text into iambic pentameter to preserve the character of the original. Adaptations are further provided of Ferret's introduction and notes.

This masterful and highly accessible translation of Les Philosophes opens up this polemical text to a non-specialist audience. It will be a valuable resource to non-Francophone scholars and students working on the philosophical exchanges of the Enlightenment.

Moreover, this translation - the result of a year-long project undertaken by Jessica Goodman with six of her undergraduate French students - expounds the value of collaboration between scholar and student, and, as such, provides a model for other language tutors embarking on translation projects with their students.
