The eBook discusses the remarkable history and evolution of one of humanity's most transformative inventions—paper. It begins with the life and achievements of Cai Lun, the visionary Chinese inventor credited with revolutionizing the papermaking process around 105 CE during the Eastern Han Dynasty. His innovative technique, which involved blending natural materials such as tree bark, hemp, rags, and fishing nets to create a versatile and accessible medium, laid the foundation for the spread of knowledge, culture, and communication across the world. The narrative explores the historical context in which paper emerged, tracing its journey from ancient China through its spread to the Islamic world, Europe, and beyond, where it became indispensable to education, commerce, and the arts. The evolution of the papermaking process is meticulously chronicled, showcasing the technological advancements that have refined it from a labor-intensive craft to a sophisticated industrial operation. The eBook examines how contemporary papermaking practices are shaped by environmental concerns, focusing on innovations aimed at reducing the industry's ecological footprint, such as the use of alternative fibers, advanced recycling techniques, and water-saving technologies. In addition to the technical aspects, the eBook offers a deep dive into the cultural and societal impact of paper, revealing its pivotal role in the dissemination of ideas, the development of economies, and the enrichment of human life. It highlights the various uses of paper—from books and currency to art and packaging—and discusses the modern-day shift toward digital and paperless practices considering environmental sustainability. The eBook also brings to light intriguing facts and episodes related to paper, including its influence on literacy and education, the development of toilet paper, and the adaptation of paper in diverse applications like origami, paper money, and architectural materials. As the world grapples with deforestation and climate change, the eBook reflects on the future of the papermaking industry, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices, continuous innovation, and a balanced approach that honors the legacy of paper while embracing the possibilities of the digital age.

Amy Nicols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her. One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

For decades, Amy ran. Through the dirt roads of Amarillo, Texas, where she grew up; to the campus of the University of Virginia, as a student athlete; on the streets of New York, where she built her adult life; through marriage, motherhood, and a thriving career. To outsiders, it all looked, in many ways, perfect. But Amy was running from something—a secret she was keeping not only from her family and friends, but unconsciously from herself. “You’re here, but you’re not here,” her daughter said to her one night. “Where are you, Mom?”
