The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig Cover Art

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s undeniably thrilling to find words for our strangest feelings…Koenig casts light into lonely corners of human experience…An enchanting book. “ —The Washington Post A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express—until now. Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig set out to fill the gaps in our language of emotion. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows “creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,” says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition—from “astrophe,” the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to “zenosyne,” the sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering the ineffable feelings that make up our lives. With a gorgeous package and beautiful illustrations throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives, word nerds, and human beings everywhere.

Iphigénie - Jean Racine Cover Art

Iphigénie

Iphigénie by Jean Racine

Iphigénie est innocente et vertueuse; mais c'est elle que son père doit sacrifier. Elle incarne la douceur et la tendresse; mais c'est  elle qui est au centre du déchaînement des fureurs familiales. Elle exalte le dévouement et l'abnégation jusqu'au sublime, mais elle subit les lâchetés.

Louisiana Notary Exam Outline 2026: A Simpler and Shorter Study Guide - Michele Childress Cover Art

Louisiana Notary Exam Outline 2026: A Simpler and Shorter Study Guide

Louisiana Notary Exam Outline 2026: A Simpler and Shorter Study Guide by Michele Childress

NEW EDITION FOR 2026! Updates and expands the previous edition , and is keyed to the current state study guide. The Louisiana Notary Public exam is based on a 734-page study guide, Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice . But the official book is famously difficult to read and organized in a complex way. Readers often need help -- including classes and Facebook groups -- just to unwind it. This book is, unlike any other, directly aimed at simplifying and outlining the study guide itself. Such a resource offers a better chance of passing the notoriously challenging notary exam. Law school classes and bar exam prep have long given law students the advantage of complete outlines, nutshells, and bar review materials authored by experts in their subjects. It's time for this concept to be used for notary prep as well. Applying the tried-and-true outlining format successfully employed for bar review, experienced lawyer-notary Michele Childress offers this resource for aspiring Louisiana notaries -- whether they're prepping by self-study or as part of organized coursework.  A new addition -- now in its 5th edition -- to the Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, this book joins the Sidepiece and Sample Questions texts as affordable guidance in the journey to becoming a commissioned notary in our state. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lawyer and notary public for the state of Louisiana, Michele Childress is a graduate of Loyola University and its law school. She also co-teaches internet seminars on passing the Louisiana notary exam, and co-authored 'Louisiana Notary and Legal Forms with Explanations.'

The Mis-Education of the Negro: The Original 1933 Unabridged And Complete Edition (Carter G. Woodson Classics) - Carter G. Woodson Cover Art

The Mis-Education of the Negro: The Original 1933 Unabridged And Complete Edition (Carter G. Woodson Classics)

The Mis-Education of the Negro: The Original 1933 Unabridged And Complete Edition (Carter G. Woodson Classics) by Carter G. Woodson

The thesis of Woodson's book is that Black people of his day were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes Black people to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to "do for themselves", regardless of what they were taught: History shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning. Woodson elaborated further: When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary.

Summary of The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins Includes Analysis by Instaread

Summary of The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins | Includes Analysis      Preview: The First 90 Days is a handbook for the executive in transition. It provides lessons and examples for the optimal way to successfully enter a new company, position, or role. Above all, making a strong transition in the first 90 days can be the difference between long-term success in that role and a spiral into failure that can haunt an executive’s reputation wherever he or she may go. The first 90 days are best when approached as a period of learning and analysis instead of action. For a new executive, early initiatives loom disproportionately large to new bosses, colleagues, and employees. As a result, leaders in transition should use this time to secure early wins, learn about what supports the status quo, and develop a clear idea, together with higher management and employees, of what success will look like in each person’s individual role…       PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.   Inside this Instaread Summary of Influence   • Overview of the book • Important People • Key Takeaways • Analysis of Key Takeaways   About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.

This comprehensive encyclopedia of small arms is both an authoritative reference work and stunning visual directory. The chronological survey of arms development looks at the origins of firearms, beginning with gunpowder and developing through handguns, matchlocks, wheelocks and flintlocks. The 20th century era and beyond is dominated by the manufacture of arms for major worldwide conflicts, and the development of submachine guns in the period between the World Wars. Modern arms are explained in detail, covering the materials, mechanics and technology including the rise of Super Magnum revolvers and pistols and the personal defense weapon. Relevant issues are also looked at such as gun safety, responsible handling, legal ownership and the valuation of modern and historical guns. The main part of the book is made up of the directory – the most comprehensive visual reference of its kind published for the general reader, this presents an unparalleled photographic guide to the most significant small guns. Grouped according to country of origin, the entries focus on the salient features of each gun and the military, political and technological context in which the gun was developed. This often includes details of the design, manufacturer and the conflict or operation in which the gun was used. Special information boxes accompany each entry with specification details such as caliber, magazine capacity, barrel length and unloaded weight. A comprehensive list of manufacturers and a glossary is also included. Written by leading experts in the field, this superbly illustrated encyclopedia will be essential reading for anyone interested in gun manufacture and conflicts of war. Anthony North has worked for many years at the Victoria & Albert Museum, giving him a wide knowledge of public and private collections of firearms and has unique access to many historic and lavishly decorated weapons. Charles Stronge is an experienced editor and writer who has worked for several years in leading London publishers, primarily in the fields of politics, international affairs and military history. William Fowler has worked in journalism and publishing since 1972, specializing in military history, current affairs and defence technology. He is the author of over 30 books covering military technology and conflicts from the 19th century to the Second Gulf War.
