The MIT murders / by Bruneau, Stephen L,author.;
"Undergrad Susan Pearce meets Professor Hans Berger when she is selected to work on a cutting-edge brain research project at MIT. After what appears to be a significant breakthrough in the quest to cure Alzheimer's, the team gets a vote of confidence from angel investors and launches a start-up biotech company. Along the way, Pearce and Berger become more than just professor and lab assistant - they turn into flirtatious colleagues. But when several young women turn up dead in a series of sensational murders, the greater Boston area is set on edge. Could there be a connection to the research project? Dimas Augustin, the chief homicide detective with the Cambridge Police Department, is tasked with finding out - and his endeavor takes him from New England to California and reaches as far as Europe."--Back cover.

Whiplash : how to survive our faster future / by Itō, Jōichi,1966-author.(CARDINAL)550530; Howe, Jeff,1970-author.(CARDINAL)559282;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-312).Introduction -- Emergence over authority -- Pull over push -- Compasses over maps -- Risk over safety -- Disobedience over compliance -- Practice over theory -- Diversity over ability -- Resilience over strength -- Systems over objects -- Conclusion."The future," as the author William Gibson once noted, "is already here. It's just unevenly distributed." WHIPLASH is a postcard from that future. The world is more complex and volatile today than at any other time in our history. The tools of our modern existence are getting faster, cheaper, and smaller at an exponential rate, just as billions of strangers around the world are suddenly just one click or tweet or post away from each other. When these two revolutions joined, an explosive force was unleashed that is transforming every aspect of society, from business to culture and from the public sphere to our most private moments. Such periods of dramatic change have always produced winners and losers. The future will run on an entirely new operating system. It's a major upgrade, but it comes with a steep learning curve. The logic of a faster future oversets the received wisdom of the past, and the people who succeed will be the ones who learn to think differently. In WHIPLASH, Joi Ito and Jeff Howe distill that logic into nine organizing principles for navigating and surviving this tumultuous period. From strategically embracing risks rather than mitigating them (or preferring "risk over safety") to drawing inspiration and innovative ideas from your existing networks (or supporting "pull over push"), this dynamic blueprint can help you rethink your approach to all facets of your organization.
