One day Andy Way, musician, composer, and financial advisor was talking to a friend on the phone, and he said (with nary a nod to the Bard) that he had a great title for a children's book: The Six Lives of Henry the Ape. Andy went on to say that, in his mind, Henry was an ape and would always be an ape. This immediately brought mental pictures to the friend on the other end of the line who happened to be Carol Biederman, retired teacher, musician, writer, and storyteller. She asked Andy if he would mind if she ran with this idea, to which he replied, "Be my guest." So Carol sat down with her computer and developed six lives for Henry, keeping in mind Henry would always be an ape, and periodically checking in with Andy for wisdom and approval. Then Carol met Patricia Cherry, former CEO of a staffing corporation in San Francisco, host of Foothill Forum, a Sierra Foothill interview show on radio KAAD, and, most importantly, artist. One day, while chatting with Carol, Patti casually said, "I've always wanted to illustrate a children's book," to which Carol smiled and handed the manuscript to Patti who brought Henry to life with her drawings.

Описание: Instant New York Times bestseller "Howard Zinn on acid or some bullsh*t like that." --Tim Heidecker The creators of the cult-hit podcast Chapo Trap House deliver a manifesto for everyone who feels orphaned and alienated--politically, culturally, and economically--by the lanyard-wearing Wall Street centrism of the left and the lizard-brained atavism of the right: there is a better way, the Chapo Way.In a guide that reads like "a weirder, smarter, and deliciously meaner version of The Daily Show's 2004 America (The Book)" (Paste), Chapo Trap House shows you that you don't have to side with either sinking ships. These self-described "assholes from the internet" offer a fully ironic ideology for all who feel politically hopeless and prefer broadsides and tirades to reasoned debate. Learn the "secret" history of the world, politics, media, and everything in-between that THEY don't want you to know and chart a course from our wretched present to a utopian future where one can post in the morning, game in the afternoon, and podcast after dinner without ever becoming a poster, gamer, or podcaster. A book that's "as intellectually serious and analytically original as it is irreverent and funny" (Glenn Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author of No Place to Hide) The Chapo Guide to Revolution features illustrated taxonomies of contemporary liberal and conservative characters, biographies of important thought leaders, "never before seen" drafts of Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom manga, and the ten new laws that govern Chapo Year Zero (everyone gets a dog, billionaires are turned into Soylent, and logic is outlawed). If you're a fan of sacred cows, prisoners being taken, and holds being barred, then this book is NOT for you. However, if you feel disenfranchised from the political and cultural nightmare we're in, then Chapo, let's go...

Описание: How Evelyn Wood Convinced the World That SpeedReading Worked.
The best-known educator of the twentieth century was a scammer in cashmere. The most famous reading teacher in the world, as television hosts introduced her, Evelyn Wood had little classroom experience, no degrees in reading instruction, and a background that included a collaboration with the Third Reich. Nevertheless, a nation spooked by Sputnik and panicked by paperwork eagerly embraced her promises of a speed-reading revolution.
Journalists, lawmakers and two US presidents lent credibility to Wood's claims of turbocharging reading speeds. A royal-born Wood grad said she'd polished off Moby Dick in three hours; a senator swore he finished one book per lunchtime. Fudging test results and squelching critics, Wood's popularity endured even as science proved that her system taught only skimming, with disastrous effects on comprehension. As apps and online courses attempt to spark a speed-reading revival, this engaging look at Wood's rise from missionary to marketer exposes the pitfalls of wishful thinking.

Life in seventh grade was just starting to settle down for Sam Hall. But with the death of his Grandma Rose and the arrival of an injured stray dog on his family's farm, all of a sudden he has a lot more to deal with than just TJ, the kid who makes fun of him at school.
Sam is sure he can meet all of his parents' conditions for keeping Grimly (Grim for short)--including working at the vet clinic, even though that can get pretty gross. But he still has one big worry: What if someone claims her as lost?
As the skies and leaves of southern Minnesota change around Sam and Grim through the fall of 1965, discoveries in the woods near the river and his grandmother's journals begin to make one thing seem clear:
The shack just might be the key to everything.

Описание: Marbles, the singular memoir by Robert Biederman, sub- titled Frontiers of Mortality is a collection of 21 unforgettable and extravagantly diverse personal experiences. Biederman examines life at inception, at death, and the many moral choices in between. His bag of Marbles focus on family relationships, their evolution and devolution as well as a few comic moments that reflect some of the absurdity in our judgment. What results is an uncompromising look at life's hardest moments, narrated with warmth and humility. A recovering alcoholic, enduring the memory of his own father's suicide, comes home to the news of his own son's death from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Wounds that resulted from guns the father had hidden under his bed. What is a TIP Volunteer and how does he help the father survive those first 12 hours? The land of Israel as seen through the eyes of a sabra with memories of every war fought. It's a vivid telling of her participation and her current life below the Golan amongst her Arab neighbors. The situation in the Middle East presents a paradox; the endless cycle of violence provides an opportunity. What do you feel when you kill another person? What do you do? What does the world really do? Crohn's Disease tests a family's cohesiveness and shapes a young woman's wry character. Teenage pregnancy leads to a journey through Open Adoption and its unintended unpredictable consequences. A brilliant neurologist transplanted to Australia from South Africa via Abbey Road is forced to face the broken promises of the Golden Years. He deals with the wonderful companionship of his adult children, the good fortunes of a life reborn in Sydney and the fleeing coherence of his wife of 50 years. Alone, surrounded by love and respect. Are the overt actions of the Dominant abusive parent the proper focus of rehabilitation? Are the roles of Dominant/Submissive isolated to the bedroom and Boardroom? Do they play out on the world stage, in your own personal toxic relationships? Infidelity as a practice bears a strange resemblance to the Geneva Conventions. The consequences run parallel. Expediency defines political correctness. Today's smiling truth trumps tomorrow's sometimes easily avoidable consequences. Are sexuality and intimacy one and the same? Two primal needs bring conflict and opportunity for resolution. What would you do in each of these situations? What do you expect of others? Do you bear the responsibility of the consequences of your actions? How often are those consequences escapable? Our lives are not solitary. Each of our experiences embrace another human being. We exist in pairs and small groups that define us and are called "family". When the choices we make turn against us, family can deteriorate, pull together, or shatter into factions. Mending relationships, abandoning, or enduring them create the cast of characters that dictate future decisions and their consequences. What is truly right, truly moral, and what is just expedient? Do we race through life just a step ahead of the consequences or walk in comfortable cadence with those around us who share our values and forgive our lapses? Are those infrequent near-death experiences brief escape hatches from the actions we've taken, deeply regret, and live in fear of the pending consequences?
