Paperback. Condición: Very Good. James D. Watson looks back on his extraordinary and varied career -- from its beginnings as a schoolboy in Chicago's South Side to the day he left Harvard almost 50 years later, world-renowned as the co-discoverer of DNA -- and considers the lessons he has learnt along the way. The result is both an engagingly eccentric memoir and an insightful compendium of lessons in life for aspiring scientists. Watson's 'manners' range from those he learnt bird-watching with his father during the Great Depression ('Avoid fighting bigger boys and dogs' and 'Find a young hero to emulate') to the manners appropriate for a Nobel Prize ('Have friends close to those who rule'). He evokes his time as a graduate student in the 1940s ('Hire spunky lab helpers'); the excitement of working in DNA for the first time as well as having his first dates; his time working as a White House advisor; and at Harvard in the '70s. Avoid Boring People is a quirky, original, wise, and infuriatingly un-put-downable blend of candid anecdotes and revealing insights into the life of one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Karl Gone-Squinti is a responsible older brother navigating life in the steampunk world of Fartonia, where steam-mono draglines transport citizens through cities filled with flying automatons and poorly maintained carriages. Living with his younger siblings Rain and Crystal, Karl attends the Academy where he befriends Showie and Strangley Brown, forming a natural tri-team bond. Their world is shaped by the recent Five Sense War-a devastating conflict between Fartonia and Wotson against Mainland, fought with steamships, sense magic, and early firearms. Though the war ended with controversial acquittals of four Mainland captains, tensions between nations continue to simmer beneath the surface of daily life.When Karl and his friends are ambushed by deteriorating clones in the Academy corridors, their ordinary lives shatter. The attack reveals that enemies from the Five Sense War have returned, and the clones represent a terrifying new technology called ROC-Rose Oriented Clone technology combining Mainland science with Fartonian sense magic. Rescued by Quite Brown, a war veterThe revelation that Tuja and Tarlan are not human but naroozie aliens using illusion devices marks a turning point in the conflict's scope and stakes. These generals, now in control of Mainland after assassinating the Dictator Thomas Jerricho, possess advanced technology and a singular obsession: locating the Chaos Light, a powerful artefact connected to a massive alien spacecraft that crashed beneath Wotson over two thousand years ago. This ship is the source of PPD, the mineral giving Wotson citizens their distinctive blue hair, and more critically, it is the source of accelerating sense magic spreading across The Planet. As Tuja and Tarlan mobilize Mainland's armies and pursue the Chaos Light with ruthless determination, Karl and his companions-now formally constituted as the Team of Six, including the ghost of Pussface Magee and a mysterious ghost named Gary-are given military ranks and a sleek jet-aeroplane constructed from alien ship material: the Quite Swift. Their mission is to rescue Quite Brown from Old Empire and stop the tyrants' plans.The conflict reaches its climax in a sprawling final battle where Section Nine and allied forces engage Mainland's armies across multiple fronts. Karl's world continues to crumble as his mother Beeze is killed in combat, joining his siblings in death. Though Section Nine defeats Dim Light, Stage Begone, and other enemies, the victory proves hollow when Tuja and Tarlan escape with the Chaos Light box, along with Karl's father Paul Gone and Showie's mother Fusing Lately as captives. The ghosts of Pussface and Gary, revealed to be traitors, side with the tyrants in the battle's final moments, adding betrayal to defeat. When Hengway, Tarlan's naroozie son, retrieves the Chaos Light box, he finds only a taunting note-the artefact is gone, spirited away off-world.In the story's resolution, Karl stands stripped of his immediate family, having lost both siblings and his mother to the conflict. With sense magic beginning to dissipate across The Planet and his father held captive somewhere in the vast reaches of space, Karl joins the Team of Five-including Showie, Strangley, Hengway, and Cleavie, a dwarf warrior from Cellfast 5-in a final pursuit. Section Nine confirms their military ranks and equips them for an interstellar journey. In the story's closing moments, the five of them perform a punt jump together, leaving The Planet behind and launching themselves into the unknown darkness of space in pursuit of Tuja and Tarlan, determined to retrieve the Chaos Light, rescue their parents, and end the threat posed by the alien tyrants once and for all. In a steampunk realm scarred by sensory warfare, a young student and his allies must pilot an alien craft int Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
