Stoned - Aja Raden Cover Art

Stoned

Stoned Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the World by Aja Raden

As entertaining as it is incisive, Stoned is a raucous journey through the history of human desire for what is rare, and therefore precious. What makes a stone a jewel? What makes a jewel priceless? And why do we covet beautiful things? In this brilliant account of how eight jewels shaped the course of history, jeweler and scientist Aja Raden tells an original and often startling story about our unshakeable addiction to beauty and the darker side of human desire. What moves the world is what moves each of us: desire. Jewelry—which has long served as a stand-in for wealth and power, glamor and success—has birthed cultural movements, launched political dynasties, and started wars. Masterfully weaving together pop science and history, Stoned breaks history into three categories—Want, Take, and Have—and explains what the diamond on your finger has to do with the GI Bill, why green-tinted jewelry has been exalted by so many cultures, why the glass beads that bought Manhattan for the Dutch were initially considered a fair trade, and how the French Revolution started over a coveted necklace. Studded with lively personalities and fascinating details, Stoned tells the remarkable story of our abiding desire for the rare and extraordinary.

Every Man by Patience Lehner

The man was agile enough, though doubtless tired. Besides this his arms, inconveniently bound behind his back, doubtless interfered with his running. One result was that after several futile grasps, Phil was at last able to fasten his grip on the man’s tied arms. From that to passing an arm round his neck and hanging grimly on was but momentary.

Error Coin Book: A Detailed Description Of Mint Error Classifications With Photographs - Terry Tanker Cover Art

Error Coin Book: A Detailed Description Of Mint Error Classifications With Photographs

Error Coin Book: A Detailed Description Of Mint Error Classifications With Photographs by Terry Tanker

Error Coin is a specialist area of numismatics and, although the various mints around the world strive to produce high-quality coins for use by the public, they sometimes produce errors that are not detected and "escape" into circulation. You can examine the obverse inscriptions. This basically means look over the words on the “heads” side of the coin. Look for anything that seems out of place. Look for missing letters, die doubling (essentially, it will look like words or parts of words were stamped on twice), letters that are spaced too far apart, reversed letters, inscriptions in the wrong place, and other oddities. Here is an example of a coin's fault. This book right will help you to understand and identify faulty coins: • A detailed description of mint error classifications with photographs. • A comprehensive listing of over 2,000 US error coins of all types as encapsulated by PCGS, ANACS, and NGC and sold at major auctions. • Modern-day photographs of error coins • Included are doubled dies, off-center, planchet, striking errors, incorrect planchets, wrong metal, split planchets, mules, and more.

The Fallen Sorcerer - Murl Yundt Cover Art

The Fallen Sorcerer

The Fallen Sorcerer by Murl Yundt

For more than a year the hermit studiously avoided his neighbor, though, truth to tell, this required very little effort. For Tom Forsythe became almost as much of a recluse as his predecessor, remaining indoors for days at a time and visiting the home of his people scarcely oftener than Old Crompton visited the village. He too became the target of village gossip and his name was ere long linked with that of the old man in similar animadversion. But he cared naught for the opinions of his townspeople nor for the dark looks of suspicion that greeted him on his rare appearances in the public places. His chosen work engrossed him so deeply that all else counted for nothing. His parents remonstrated with him in vain. Tom laughed away their recriminations and fears, continuing with his labors more strenuously than ever. He never troubled his mind over the nearness of Old Crompton's hut, the existence of which he hardly noticed or considered.

The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's "darkness" (lack of records) with earlier and later periods of "light" (abundance of records).The concept of a "Dark Age" originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as "dark" compared to the light of classical antiquity.

Value a Coin

Value a Coin Become a coin collector coin collecting for profit and fun collect rare coins as a hobby with this coin collector's guide by Richard W. Avery

Like the old saying goes, "Money makes the world go 'round." We use it every day. We could not acquire most necessary items needed in daily life without it. We almost always want more of it, but for coin collectors, money is much more than a piece of metal. It is a hobby, a learning experience, and can be a lifelong obsession. There really are no hard statistics on the amount of people who collect coins in the world. Some people suggest that one out of every 10,000 people is an active coin collector. That is pretty staggering when you think about the population of the world. People have been collecting coins for years. At one time, it was called the hobby of kings, but today people from all walks of life and of all ages are maintaining coin collections. Their reasons are varied. Some like the history behind coinage. Some do it to amass a collection worthy of handing down to future generations. Still others are simply businesspeople buying and selling coins to make a living. Collecting coins can be somewhat of a treasure hunt for many. The quest for that one coin to complete their collection can be an obsession. Whatever the reason, coin collecting is a very popular hobby, one that can be pursued by all age groups. There are actually educational benefits to getting children started as coin collectors. The practice of numismatics that is, the collection and study of coins, paper money, tokens and medals, offers the collector many different areas to specialize in. With the many specializations of coins, there is a wealth of material out there for coin collectors to concentrate on which makes it such an interesting and diverse hobby. In this book, we will explore the phenomenon of coin collecting and give you ways to get started on your own collection. There are many, many nuances of the hobby and it is almost impossible to give you all the information you will need to become a seasoned collector. What we have done is give you enough to get started in this rather enjoyable activity.

Killer Stuff and Tons of Money - Maureen Stanton Cover Art

Killer Stuff and Tons of Money

Killer Stuff and Tons of Money An Insider's Look at the World of Flea Markets, Antiques, and Collecting by Maureen Stanton

One dealer's journey from the populist mayhem of flea markets to the rarefied realm of auctions reveals the rich, often outrageous subculture of antiques and collectibles. Millions of Americans are drawn to antiques and flea-market culture, whether as participants or as viewers of the perennially popular Antiques Roadshow or the recent hit American Pickers . This world has the air of a lottery: a $20 purchase might net you four, five, or six figures. Master dealer Curt Avery, the unlikely star of Killer Stuff and Tons of Money , plays that lottery every day, and he wins it more than most. Occasionally he gets lucky, but more often, he draws on a deep knowledge of America's past and the odd, fascinating, and beautiful objects that have survived it. Week in, week out, Avery trawls the flea and antiques circuit-buying, selling, and advising other dealers in his many areas of expertise, from furniture to glass to stoneware, and more. On the surface, he's an improbable candidate for an antiques dealer. He wrestled in high school and still retains the pugilistic build; he is gruff, funny, and profane; he favors shorts and sneakers, even in November; and he is remarkably generous toward both competitors and customers who want a break. But as he struggles for a spot in a high-end Boston show, he must step up his game and, perhaps more challenging, fit in with a white-shoe crowd. Through his ascent, we see the flea-osphere for what it truly is-less a lottery than a contact sport with few rules and many pitfalls. This rich and sometimes hilarious subculture rewards peculiar interests and outright obsessions-one dealer specializes in shrunken heads; another wants all the postal memorabilia he can get. So Avery must be a guerrilla historian and use his hard-earned knowledge of America's past to live by and off his wits. Only the smartest survive in one of America's most ruthless meritocracies. Killer Stuff and Tons of Money is many things: an insider's look at a subculture replete with arcane traditions and high drama, an inspiring account of a self-made man making his way in a cutthroat field, a treasure trove of tips for those who seek out old things themselves, and a thoroughly fresh, vibrant view of history as blood sport.

The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Apple Watch Series 3 - Scott La Counte Cover Art

The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Apple Watch Series 3

The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Apple Watch Series 3 A Practical Guide to Getting Started With Apple Watch Series 3 and WatchOS 6 by Scott La Counte

Apple Watch has become more than a companion device to the iPhone; it’s become a stand-alone device that is hard to live without. While the Series 3 Apple Watch may not be the newest version, it is powerful and has more features than most people expect. As amazing as all the new features are, it’s not quite as easy to use as an iPhone; the lack of buttons, the smaller screen, and general UI can make a frustrating initial experience. The point of this book is to help new Apple Watch users (and users updating to WatchOS 6 from an older device) get the most out of their investment.  Are you ready to start enjoying your new Apple Watch? Then let’s get started!
