The Bard and the Book
The unlikely true story of why we know the name William Shakespeare today, and the four-hundred-year-old book that made it possible. Four hundred years ago, no one bothered to write down the exact words of stage plays. Characters' lines were scribbled on small rolls of paper (as in, an actor's role) and passed around, but no master script was saved for the future. The main reason we've heard of Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and Shakespeare himself is that a group of people made the excellent choice to preserve the plays after the Bard died. If they hadn't created the book known as the First Folio, Shakespeare and his works would surely have been lost to history. Part literary scavenger hunt (the search for every existing First Folio continues today), part book trivia treasure trove, and part love letter to Shakespeare, this behind-the-scenes, sharply funny true story is an ideal introduction to the Bard and his famous plays.
Essays on Political Economy
Essays on Political Economy is a collection of essays by French economist and writer Frederic Bastiat. The book contains a series of essays that provide an insightful analysis of the political and economic systems of his time. Bastiat was a firm believer in the principles of classical liberalism and free-market economics, and his essays reflect these views. In his writing, he criticizes government intervention in economic affairs and champions the virtues of individual liberty, free trade, and property rights. He argues that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs and subsidies, creates inefficiencies and leads to economic inequality. One of the most famous essays in the collection is "The Law," which presents Bastiat's view on the role of government in society. Other notable essays in the collection include "That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen," which highlights the unseen costs of government intervention, and "The State," which critiques the idea that the state is a self-sufficient entity. Essays on Political Economy is an influential work in the history of economic thought, and it remains relevant today as a defense of classical liberal economic principles.

Outspoken: Paul Robeson, Ahead of His Time
Newbery Honoree Carole Boston Weatherford and award-winning illustrator Eric Velasquez--the team behind Schomburg: The Man Who Built a Library--reunite to take full measure of an iconic performer and political activist. Paul Robeson rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance, known for his extraordinary vocal, dramatic, and oratory skills. But he was a true Renaissance man: an accomplished athlete, a bright intellect, and a passionate supporter for humanitarian causes. He displayed his talents on many stages: the pulpit where he filled in for his minister father; on debate, football, baseball, basketball, and track teams; in college and law school classrooms; on the theatrical stage and the silver screen; and behind the podium. Paul Robeson became internationally renowned as a singer and actor, and as his fame grew, so did his unflinching activism against racial injustice. He used the power of his voice to speak out as America's conscience, but when his nation was not yet willing to listen, he found a more-supportive reception in the USSR. In this moving birth-to-death biography, Carole Boston Weatherford's poetic first-person narrative, interlaced with excerpts from African American spirituals, pairs with dynamic illustrations by Eric Velasquez capturing Paul Robeson's commanding presence. Back matter includes a time line, source notes, and bibliography for readers inspired to learn more.
The Pixelated Tapestry
Welcome, dear reader, to a captivating and immersive exploration into a universe that is often misunderstood, sometimes marginalized, yet undeniably significant. This is a journey into the heart of geek culture. In this book, "The Pixelated Tapestry: A Journey Through Geek Culture," we invite you to delve into the intricate, diverse, and fascinating world of geeks, a space where conventionally dichotomous elements like science fiction and reality, technology and artistry, fantasy and facts coalesce into a rich, vibrant tapestry of cultural phenomena. Geek culture - a term that used to bear the weight of negativity and otherness, a synonym for social outcast, has transformed remarkably in the new millennia. The digital revolution, the rising popularity of superhero franchises, the advent of e-sports, and the global ubiquity of video gaming have brought geek culture from the fringes into the mainstream spotlight. This volume will explore the profound influence that geek culture has had on our modern society, the way we entertain ourselves, communicate, work, and even dream about the future. However, it's essential to realize that the term 'geek culture' is far from monolithic. It encapsulates a plethora of subcultures, passions, and niches, from the trekkies immersing themselves in the endless cosmos of Star Trek, the cosplayers breathing life into their favorite characters, the hackers reshaping the world code by code, to the fantasy enthusiasts living out their wildest adventures on the tabletops of Dungeons & Dragons. To understand geek culture is to appreciate the diversity and depth of these interconnected realms. Through the following chapters, we will explore the origins, evolution, and future trajectories of geek culture. We will trace its roots from the obscure corners of comic book stores and science fiction conventions, through the explosion of the Internet and the personal computing revolution, to the cultural powerhouse it has become today. We will also examine the societal, psychological, and even philosophical implications that underlie this culture. You may be an outsider looking for an introduction to this vibrant world, a casual enthusiast wanting to dive deeper, or a dyed-in-the-wool geek seeking a nuanced exploration of your own culture. Regardless, this book seeks to inform, entertain, and perhaps even inspire. "The Pixelated Tapestry: A Journey Through Geek Culture" is not just about understanding 'geekiness.' It is about celebrati

Amazing Abe
A loving tribute to a towering figure in Jewish American history from two award-winning creators. Two-time National Jewish Book Award winner Norman H. Finkelstein and Sydney Taylor Award winner Vesper Stamper have teamed up to tell the story of Abraham Cahan, the founder and longtime editor of the Yiddish language newspaper the Forverts (the Forward), which, in its heyday, was one of the largest newspapers in the United States. As the saying went: "What's a home without the Forverts?" From explaining voting rights to the importance of public health measures to everyday questions like how to play baseball, Cahan improved the lives of countless newly arrived Jewish immigrants who wanted to feel at home in a new, strange land. He also published celebrated writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer and created the iconic advice column the Bintel Brief for homesick readers. Back matter includes a bibliography, a time line, more info on Cahan's life and the Yiddish language, and a note on the author's personal connection to the Forverts.
Moving the Millers’ Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story
Author Dave Eggers and artist J繳lia Sard? spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of American ingenuity. Make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it. It all started when John "Minnie" Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion, hence the "Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion." After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked--losing all but the mansion--she and her son took to raising pigs in the yard, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie and her crew would remove the whole mansion instead--rolling it away slowly on logs--while she and her son were still living in it? Narrated with metafictional flair, this delightfully illustrated picture book is proof positive that nonfiction can be as lively and artful as any storybook.
