If you love science-fiction, like Doctor Who and Star Trek, but also enjoy coming-of-age tales like Heartstopper, this book is for you. Max Janus has made many mistakes since first coming to Earth during the peak of the Roman Empire to chase down alien criminals called Deceptors. Things take an unexpected twist when an accident whilst chasing a female Deceptor in 21st Century London results in him waking up inside the body of a 17-year-old boy. Despite Max transmuting inside a new host every 30 years or so, he has become set in his ways. He has relied on generations of the same family of doctors to be his next host as they reach thirty years of age, so finding himself having to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of a teenager struggling with exams, driving lessons, and his sexuality is sure to cause mayhem. When Bobby Morris sees an old man knocked over in Piccadilly Circus, he couldn’t have imagined how much his life was about to be disrupted. Suddenly finding he will be spending the next six months hosting a centuries-old alien until it can build a new human body shell is bad enough, but finding out that this alien’s past has put the lives of his friends and family at risk leaves him with little choice but to join in the battle. Sci-fi action and adventure trade places as Bobby’s alien body lodger is revealed to his friends, who agree to support him on the quest to uncover who that Deceptor is and why the police seem to be helping the Deceptor. Max and the Hidden Visitor appeals to anyone who loves science-fiction and coming-of-age stories in an action-packed, page-turning adventure for ages 12 to 99. It is book one in the series, but each book can be enjoyed on its own.

The mind is directed upon the world. There are worldly things that we have beliefs about and things in the world we desire to have happen. We find some things fearsome and others likable. The puzzle of intentionality — how it is that our minds make contact with the world — is one of the oldest and most vexed issues facing philosophers. Many contemporary philosophers and cognitive scientists have been attracted to the idea that our minds represent the world. This book explores an important assumption about representation, namely, that when we represent things in the world, we represent them as having properties, and in this way our representations have "propositional" structure. The contributors examine what the commitment to propositionalism amounts to; illuminate why one might find the thesis attractive (or unattractive); and consider ways in which one might depart from propositionalism. The hope is that this will lead towards a more complete understanding of how the mind and world are connected.

Fourteen-year-old Max Howarth is living with anorexia. With the help of his therapist and his supportive, but flawed, family, he's trying his best to maintain his health. But things spiral out of control, and his eating disorder threatens to isolate him from everyone he loves. Beautifully crafted and honestly written, this debut YA novel tells the story of one boy's year-long journey toward recovery. * "The raw and real portrayal of anorexia from a group often left out of the conversation." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED Review * "[A] no-holds-barred debut novel based on the author's own experiences as a tween will be a significant addition to any library." Booklist, STARRED Review In most ways, Max is like any other teenager. He's dealing with family drama, crushes, and high school-all while trying to have fun, play video games, and explore his hobbies. But Max is also living with anorexia and finds it impossible to be honest with his loved ones-they just don't understand what he's going through. Starting at Christmas, a series of triggering events disrupt Max's progress toward recovery, sending him down a year-long spiral of self-doubt and dangerous setbacks. With no one to turn to, Max journals his innermost thoughts and feelings, writing to "Ana," the name he's given his anorexia. While that helps for a while, Ana's negative voice grows, amplifying his fears. When Max gets an unusual present from his older brother, a geocache, it becomes a welcome distraction from his problems. He hides it in the forest near their house and soon gets a message from the mysterious "E." Although Max is unsure of the secret writer's identity, they build a bond, and it's comforting to finally have someone to confide in.As Max's eating disorder pulls him further away from his family and friends, this connection keeps him going, leading him back to the people who love and support him. Writing from his own experiences with anorexia, Samuel Pollen's The Year I Didn't Eat is a powerful and uplifting story about recovery and the connections that heal us.
