Titles in this set: 1. Same as Ever 2. The Psychology of Money Description: Same as Ever When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future. The Psychology of Money Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Title in This Set: 1. illuminae 2. Gemina 3. Obsidio Description: Illuminae The year is 2575 and two mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice covered speck. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Ezra and Kady have to make their escape on the evacuating fleet. But their troubles are iust beginning. A deadly plague has broken out on one of the spaceships and it is mutating with terrifying results. Their ship's protection is seriously flawed. No one will say what is going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her. Ezra. And the only problem with that is they split up before all this trouble started and she isn't supposed to be talking to him. Gemina Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion. When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, the two are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped apart before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia―and possibly the known universe―is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope. Obsidio Asha Grant came to Kerenza to escape her past. Too bad he just caught up with her. Asha survived BeiTech’s initial assault and has been working undercover with the hopelessly outmatched resistance ever since. The last thing she expected to worry about was her ex-boyfriend, Rhys Lindstrom, who just landed planet-side. Is he her way out – or guarantee she never gets off this frozen rock alive? But Asha’s not the only one with problems. Her cousin Kady’s ragtag band of survivors are headed for Kerenza – without enough oxygen to last the journey. Oh, and there might be an insurrection brewing. With BeiTech hurrying to repair their damaged jump gate, and a mass extermination planned for the Kerenza civilians, only a miracle could save them now. And everyone knows that miracles are just statistical probabilities…right?

This paperback collection features the five thrilling novels in the dystopian survival adventure series The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This box set features all of the books in the best-selling series including The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, The Kill Order and The Fever Code. The books are written from the perspective of sixteen-year-old Thomas, as he arrives in the Glade in the centre of a giant labyrinth filled with the most terrifying half-human, half-machine creatures designed to brutally kill anyone that tries to escape the Maze. Like the many other kids before him, Thomas has no recollection of any memories of life before the Maze, except for his name. But Thomas’ arrival sparks a change. With more dangerous tests lurking around the corner getting closer and closer, threatening their safe haven, can the Gladers escape the dreaded maze in time? But even if they do escape, they have to worry about the deadly Flare disease that continues to ravage the population outside of the Maze walls. Victims of the Flare are said to slowly decay as the virus eats away at the brain, turning those infected into bloodthirsty “Cranks” who are capable of torturing and killing any that cross their path. But now, the Gladers have an important choice to make if they are to plan their escape. Are they all immune or at risk of infection? Would it be safer to stay trapped in the maze or to find the WICKED organisation and demand their memories back? With no recollection of their past, can they really trust each other? With dividing decisions and rising tensions, the group must appoint a leader to guide them on the right path to survival. The fate of the world is in their hands, whether they know it yet or not. And if there’s one thing they must remember, it's that: WICKED is good… This is a fantastic series to keep any dystopian action fans aged 11+ entertained for hours, filled with action-packed adventures, death-defying stunts and horrifying creatures sure to keep you up at night.
