Max Lurie’s navel-gazing podcast about his life has become an unexpected success. But its embellishments and inventions are starting to leak into his everyday life.
As Max tries to navigate the grey areas between fact and fiction, things begin to spin out of control. He juggles real and imagined girlfriends, an illegally procured firearm, an unpredictable friendship with a homeless schizophrenic, his acerbic immigrant producer, his dying father, his famous childhood sweetheart, an unlikely romantic entanglement and his critical and growing audience. Can he keep all of these balls in the air and finally bring them safely to rest?
This story takes a deep and satiric dive into the worlds we imagine for ourselves and the lives we actually live, particularly in a time when our real and digital personas intersect and merge in chaotic ways. Free Association casts a steely and comic eye on the great and small concerns of being human: the chances we take and miss, the pain of not fitting in, the fragility of the psyche, the unpredictability of love, the dull certainty of death, the importance of listening to others and the careening craziness of it all.

Triple bill of romantic dramas based on the novels by Nicholas
Sparks. In 'Dear John' (2010), while Special Forces Army Sergeant
John Tyree (Channing Tatum) is home on leave, he meets beautiful
college student Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) and the two fall
in love. When the time comes for Savannah to return to college, she
promises to write to John during his 12-month enlistment overseas.
However, their budding love affair is put to the test when John
decides to re-enlist in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. 'Safe Haven'
(2013), follows the fortunes of a guarded young woman who
unexpectedly finds love in a North Carolina town. Katie Feldman
(Julianne Hough) stands out on arrival in Southport. Beautiful but
highly reserved, she makes it clear that she expects to have little
involvement in the social life of the town and its inhabitants.
However, an unforeseen chain of events brings Katie close to Alex
(Josh Duhamel), a widower who runs a store while also attempting to
bring up his young children. As she inexorably falls in love with
Alex and the children Katie begins to let down her guard, but doing
so threatens to raise the dark secret she has been protecting. Will
she find a way to reconcile the trauma of her past with the
possibility of a brighter future? 'The Best of Me' (2014), charts
the relationship between Dawson Cole (Luke Bracey/James Marsden)
and Amanda Collier (Liana Liberato/Michelle Monaghan), two people
from opposite sides of town, who fall deeply in love as teenagers.
However, Amanda's parents don't approve of Dawson and their
relationship is short-lived due to a number of unfortunate events
outside of their control. 20 years later, the pair are reunited at
a mutual friend's funeral and it doesn't take long for their
romance to rekindle. But although it seems the universe is
conspiring to bring them back together after all this time, it
seems there are still other forces at work which are determined to
keep them apart...

Adnan is the heartwarming story of a refugee boy’s attempts to
heal his mother’s mental health issues with the power of his
creativity as they rebuild their lives in their new home.
Sometimes, when something sad happens, people can push it so far
down because it hurts too much. That’s why Mummy doesn’t
remember. This touching and sensitively told children's book is a
story about a boy and his mother, about trauma and recovery, and
how to deal with the challenges of mental health. It tells
the story of an imaginative ten year old Syrian refugee boy
who has had to flee his home country with his mother. Now settled
in the UK, he must use all his creativity to break through his
mother’s PTSD or risk losing her forever. The book is based on a
short film of the same name, which has collected multiple awards
and made Official Selection at its first Oscar-qualifier. Inspired
by her own experiences as a refugee, Syrian artist Diala Brisly’s
illustrations are powerful and evocative, highlighting the contrast
between Adnan’s hope and the helplessness of the mother. The
charity Choose Love will receive 2% of the book’s recommended
retail price on every copy sold. Choose Love (formerly Help
Refugees) go where the need is greatest. They fill the gaps and act
where others won’t. Sometimes that means search and rescue boats.
Sometimes it means providing food or safe, secure long-term housing
for refugees. Since 2015, they’ve supported over 120 incredible
projects and reached over one million people.
The acclaimed live action retelling of the animated classic.
A struggling merchant stumbles upon the magical domain of the fearsome Beast, who sentences him to death for stealing a rose. The merchant’s youngest daughter Belle bravely sacrifices herself and takes her father’s place.
Once at the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Belle, but a strange and fantastical life unlike anything she has ever experienced… and the discovery that her mysterious host is living under a terrible enchantment. As Belle valiantly attempts to release the Beast from his curse, the two discover that a most unlikely bond blooms between them… true love.

Wie was dit? En wat het die professor se towerdrankie daarmee uit

This clever and funny inversion on a classic fairytale from
award-winning author Bethan Stevens tells the laugh-out-loud story
of a damsel who does not need saving! Once upon a time, hidden deep
in a valley in a magical land far away, there was a very tall
tower. And trapped at the very top of that very tall tower there
was a damsel . . . In distress! The only problem is, the damsel is
not in distress. She keeps telling the narrator that she's
perfectly fine. The "terrifying beasts"Â in the moat are a
family of ducklings. The "prickly brambles"Â are her rose
garden. And the "wicked old witch"Â is actually her grandma!
But the narrator just won't listen. When a scary, fire-breathing
dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her
story and save the day for everyone. Characterful
illustrations transport readers to the magical world of the
damsel's kingdom, and easy to read text is perfect for young
readers. This funny follow-up to the prize-winning Grumpy
Fairies is perfect for any young damsel—or prince
charming—who wants to be the hero of their own story.

'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic,
but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph ‘Maybe you don’t believe me.
Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time
you’ve heard what happened to us.’ Cousins Middy and Nathan
love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic
skills to help her out of tricky situations. Nathan is a show-off
and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle
and audience. So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically
vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan
announces live on TV that they will magic it back home. With a
stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end
up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion,
Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’. Full of tricks, twists and
deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing
until the very end. Praise for Noah's Gold: 'Sparkly, witty,
enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay

Sorcerer is a book in the form of a script/novel/manual about the
pleasures of being with others and of being alone. Three friends
hang out and share a long and unremarkable conversation about
getting dressed, headaches, ticks, compression fantasies, surgery,
and their aspirations, among other things. The characters find
contentment in each other’s company, conversing in the placid,
eerie rhythms of a sitcom in which conflict never arises. When two
of the friends go home for the night, the remaining one watches TV,
dances, and takes apart his face in front of a giant mirror.

Is competition law able to deal with algorithmic collusion? This
evaluative book provides an insight into tackling this important
question for competition law, with contrasting critical
perspectives, including theoretical, empirical, and doctrinal –
the latter frequently from a comparative perspective. Bringing
together scholarly discussion on algorithmic collusion, the book
questions whether competition law is adeptly equipped to deal with
its various facets. With a comprehensive overview of the recent
literature on algorithmic collusion, chapters offer a critical
appraisal of the effectiveness of competition law to deal with
algorithmic collusion. Covering a unique collection of legal,
theoretical, and experimental case studies, it initiates debate
among legal scholars for a better understanding of the data upon
which algorithms decide prices. With a comparative identification
of both the potentialities and limitations of competition law in
relation to algorithmic collusion, this book will be of key value
to students and scholars of competition law, economics and finance.
It will also be an invaluable resource for legal practitioners and
policy makers in the field.
This new edition of "Environmental and Natural Resources Economics"

fisheries economics and policy, and the chapter on global climate
change has been substantially rewritten to incorporate new
scientific information and evolving public policy. Many new figures
and tables have been added, and the glossary has also been
expanded. Readers will appreciate the balanced and accessible
coverage, and the integration of economics with science and public
policy.
