Sherlock Holmes: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 4)

A collection of gripping cases that culminates in the most shocking of all - the notorious, fatal encounter between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. 'He is the Napoleon of Crime...He is the organiser of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city'. A man like Sherlock Holmes has many enemies. Violent murderers, deviant villains, ghosts of old loves, blackmailers and poisonous scribes, to to name but a few. But none are so deadly, so powerful, as Professor Moriarty. Moriarty - the only man who can compete with Holmes' genius. The only man who can, perhaps, ultimately defeat the great detective ...

was some time before the health of my friend, Mr Sherlock Holmes, recovered
from the strain caused by his immense exertions in the spring of '87. The whole
question of the Netherland-Sumatra Company and of the colossal schemes of
Baron Maupertuis is too recent in the minds of the public, and too intimately
concerned with politics and finance, to be a fitting subject for this series of
sketches. It led, however, in an indirect fashion to a singular and complex
problem, which gave my ...

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 3)

'I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart'. Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate. For he, and he alone, has the extraordinary faculty of perception and almost unhuman energy which could solve them ...

In glancing over my notes of the seventy-odd cases in which I have during the
last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many
tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for,
working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth,
he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards
the unusual, and even the fantastic. Of all these varied cases, however, I cannot
recall ...

Sherlock Holmes: The Return of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 6)

The greatest detective of them all is back... ''Holmes!' I cried. 'Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?'. The Great Sherlock Holmes is back from the dead and devoting his life once more to examining the criminal complexities of the capital. But his old enemies are watching his every move. Watching, waiting, plotting...

was no very unusual thing for Mr Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, to look in upon us of
an evening, and his visits were welcome to Sherlock Holmes, for they enabled
him to keep in touch with all that was going on at the police headquarters. In
return for the news which Lestrade would bring, Holmes was always ready to
listen with attention to the details of any case upon which the detective was
engaged, and was able occasionally, without any active interference, to give
some hint or ...

Sherlock Holmes: The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Complete Set 9)

'Mr Sherlock Holmes, the well-known private detective, was the victim of a murderous assault this morning which has left him in a precarious position'. Dr Watson stops dead in his tracks when he reads of the attempt on his friend's life. The forces of nature turn against man, love breeds hatred and cowardice, mothers appear to attack their own children, and Sherlock Holmes, the one man who can redress the balance, seemingly lies at death's door ... When an assassination attempt is made on the great detective's life it seems that no one can escape the death and dread which blights Britain...

fear that Mr Sherlock Holmes may become like one of those popular tenors who,
having outlived their time, are still tempted to make repeated farewell bows to
their indulgent audiences. This must cease and he must go the way of all flesh,
material or imaginary. One likes to think that there is some fantastic limbo for the
children of imagination, some strange, impossible place where the beaux of
Fielding may still make love to the belles of Richardson, where Scott's heroes still
may strut, ...

Strange Fits Of Passion

A young and successful journalist working in New York, Maureen English appears to have the perfect life and family. But Maureen's husband, a highly respected fellow reporter, has in private a tendency towards alcohol and violent abuse. When the situation at home becomes intolerable, Maureen takes her baby daughter and flees. In a Maine fishing town she assumes a new identity and spends six weeks battling sub-zero temperatures, the intrusive glare of the townsfolk - and her fears of discovery. Against the force of the wintry sea- the cawing of the gulls, the lobstermen hauling their catch, the press of waves against the rocks - Maureen settles into the rhythms of a new life. Two married men pursue her, and one captures her heart. But this calming respite ends suddenly, leaving in its wake a murder, a rape charge, a suicide and a helpless child. Nearly nineteen years later, a cache of documents regarding Maureen English - abused, accused and imprisoned - are given to her daughter by the journalist who made her name reporting the case. The truth should lie within them, but the papers raise far more questions than they answer...

Took away the bestyears of my life. You can't ever get themback. You know what I
'm sayin'? I had my babies, I couldn't even love them. I mean, Iloved them, butI

The Master Algorithm

How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World

In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner-the Master Algorithm-and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.

Lessons from the Monk I Married

Lessons from the Monk I Married offers up ten of the most powerful lessons about life, love, and spirituality that Katherine Jenkins has gathered during her marriage to former Buddhist monk Seong Yoon Lee. A seeker in the truest sense of the word, Jenkins went to Korea on a whim, hoping to find the answers to her deepest, most pressing questions about how to find peace and her purpose in life. During her first months there, she sought out a remote temple, where she unknowingly crossed paths with an unassuming Buddhist monk. Months later, they met again by chance—and fell in love. Though their courtship was long, mostly secretive, and fraught with logistical and spiritual considerations, Jenkins and Lee were ultimately married in Korea in 2003. Through their relationship, Jenkins discovered the most important lesson of all: No one holds the keys to peace and happiness—you have walk your own path and find your own wisdom through your own experiences. More than the improbable story of a girl from Seattle who found peace of mind (and love) with a Buddhist monk, Lessons from the Monk I Married is an approachable guide to the most elemental spiritual questions of our day.
