Alpha Edition 出版
2021/07/06 出版

A quick-witted dresser of ideas, The Casual Ward unpacks the oddities of intellect and campus life with a light-then fierce-touch. A. D. Godley's essays are a humane, humorous map of english university life that still feels fresh today. This collection blends sharp language, language and style critiques, and warmly observed academic life anecdotes into a cohesive humour anthology.

Godley's voice-clever, exacting, inviting-serves as both scholar's ally and droll companion. For the casual reader, it's brisk, amiable reading; for the classic-literature aficionado, it's a curator's whisper of heritage.

Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Chapters 31 To 35 (Part 7)

Mark,Twain  著
Alpha Edition 出版
2021/07/06 出版

Huckleberry Finn's restless river journey returns with a fresh truth for today's readers. A bold, humane, and wryly subversive odyssey, this chapters-focused edition invites discovery, debate, and delight in equal measure. In these pages, Twain threads satire, adventure, and moral reflection into a vivid stream-of-consciousness travelogue. A young boy's quest for freedom and identity unfolds against a social landscape of 19th-century Mississippi and the Deep South, where friendship, cunning, and conscience collide with society's rules. The result is more than a story; it's a picaresque fiction of character and peril, a mirror held up to the American class and power structures, and a compelling study of what it means to choose integrity when the path is murky. Significance flows from its enduring place in literary history: a cornerstone of American adventure chronicles, a sharp social satire critique, and a touchstone for classroom reading resources and college literature courses. This edition honours that legacy with clarity, accessibility, and reverent modern energy, making it appealing to casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.

No Sunday school teacher, Kool-Aid drinker or politician is ever going to be ok with any of the contents of this book, oh well. So many people have become sick and tired of how soft and fluffy the world has become. Where anything and everything is either offensive or dangerous, regardless if it was intended to be or not. A world where bubble wrap and participation ribbons are now more valued than honesty and hard work. Yet, few will ever admit to this out loud due to a fear of reprisal at the hands of a right fighter or political correctness warriors, but that's not here. A liquor infused, open, honest, direct personal insights about the strange world we have now made, that only gets more and more interesting and unique as each additional shot is consumed. If words + booze + free thinking scare you, you're likely going to be wetting the bed tonight. Sleep with a nightlight on and a butter knife under your pillow and you'll be alright, but if you don't just drink the lukewarm water from the fishbowl of this Band-Aid, beige world, you may find some truth, humour and a lot of questions both raised and maybe even answered within here. www.GrappaThoughts.com

Don't Hurt a Sasquatch

Ingram 出版
2021/07/04 出版

This hilarious compendium dives into the quirkiest decrees from around the country, from Alabama's ban on driving blindfolded to Delaware's restriction on selling dog hair. Every state in the country has its own set of rules, carefully designed to identify the biggest problems in its culture and correct them. Most of them are normal: don't steal, don't kill, don't go somewhere you don't belong, etc. All it takes is one weirdo to throw a wrench in that ordinary list, one unruly dude who tried to hold a salmon suspiciously or wash an alligator in a bathtub for lawmakers to step in and impose some order. What are some of these crazy laws, you ask? Take your pick: In Connecticut, it's illegal for a barber to hum a tune while clipping your hair.Thinking about buying a boat house? Think again. It's considered illegal in the state of Georgia to live on a boat for longer than a month.Pigeons get the short end of the stick in both San Francisco, California and Venice, Italy: it's against the law to feed them in public in both cities.Ready to say I do! a third time? Hopefully, you don't live in Kentucky: women are not allowed to marry thrice in the Southern state.Want to surprise your loved one with a pizza? Too bad. Sending a pie to someone without their permission can result in a $500 dollar fine in Louisiana.In Arizona, you can't feed garbage to a pig without a permit. What constitutes as garbage, though, is up to you.The list goes on. More interesting than the laws themselves are the histories behind each, which Blue Laws goes into in detail. Like, why can't you roll a boulder in Boulder, Colorado? Who decided that you couldn't catch fish with your hands in Indiana? Why are blue laws called blue laws and how did they come to mean generally weird rules (instead of their original meaning: laws dictating what citizens can and cannot do on Sundays)? In this informative and funny book, you will find out through a series of anecdotes, court cases, and illustrated pictures that break down just how and why these rules (most of which are still currently in effect) came to be. Good for history teachers, trivia nerds, or white elephant gift exchange participants, Don't Hurt a Sasquatch is a widely appealing book that will teach you more about how the world works than you ever wanted to know.

This is a reproduction of Arch Bristow's famous humor magazine published about 100 years ago. He began in the newspaper business as a cartoonist with the owl character "Zimmie", which began in 1902 and became syndicated nationally.

He began the self-published monthly magazine "Hay Rake" in 1920 at the age of 38, in a modest shoemaker's shop in hamlet of Garland PA. He grew it to a subscription of 20,000 in a few months and continued to publish it till about 1939. At some point, perhaps after his hair went gray, he was known as the "Sage of Garland". He continued to write newspapers columns till his death in 1964

Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains

Ingram 出版

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains (1879) is a work of travel literature by British explorer Isabella Bird. Adventurous from a young age, Bird gained a reputation as a writer and photographer interested in nature and the stories and cultures of people around the world. A bestselling author and the first woman inducted into the Royal Geographical Society, Bird is recognized today as a pioneering woman whose contributions to travel writing, exploration, and philanthropy are immeasurable. In 1872-after a year of sailing from Britain to Australia and Hawaii-Isabella Bird journeyed by boat to San Francisco before making her way over land through California and Wyoming to the Colorado Territory. There, she befriended an outdoorsman named Rocky Mountain Jim, who guided her throughout the vast wilderness of Colorado and accompanied her during a journey of over 800 miles. Traveling on foot and on horseback-Bird was an experienced and skillful rider-the two formed a curious but formidable pair, eventually reaching the 14,259 foot (4346 m) summit of Longs Peak, making Bird one of the first women to accomplish the feat. A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains, Bird's most iconic work, was a bestseller upon publication, and has since inspired generations of readers. This edition of Isabella Bird's A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a classic of American literature and travel writing reimagined for modern readers.

I Named My Dog Pushkin (And Other Immigrant Tales)

Ingram 出版
2021/06/30 出版

'Witty and acerbic...A delight!' Jen Mann'Hilarious...Thought-provoking' California Bookwatch Buy a pair of Levi's, lose the Russian accent, and turn yourself into an American. Really, how difficult could it be? Fake an exit visa, fool the Soviet authorities, pack enough sausage to last through immigration, buy a one-way Aeroflot ticket, and the rest will sort itself out. That was the gist of every Soviet-Jewish immigrant's plan in the 1980s, Margarita's included. Despite her father's protestations that they'd get caught and thrown into a gulag, she convinced her family to follow that plan. When they arrived in the US, Margarita had a clearly defined objective - become fully American as soon as possible, and leave her Soviet past behind. But she soon learned that finding her new voice was harder than escaping the Soviet secret police. She finds herself changing her name to fit in, disappointing her parents who expect her to become a doctor, a lawyer, an investment banker and a classical pianist - all at the same time, learning to date without hang-ups (there is no sex in the Soviet Union), parenting her own daughter 'while too Russian', and not being able to let go of old habits (never, ever throw anything away because you might use it again). Most importantly, she finds that no matter how hard you try not to become your parents, you end up just like them anyway. Witty, sharp and unflinching, I Named My Dog Pushkin will have fans of Samantha Irby and Jenny Lawson howling with laughter at Margarita's catastrophes, her victories and her near misses as she learns to grow as both a woman and an immigrant in a world that often doesn't appreciate either. What readers are saying about I Named My Dog Pushkin: 'I thoroughly enjoyed Margarita's witty and acerbic voice. This book was a delight!' Jen Mann, New York Times bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat 'Hilarious and thought-provoking...A fine way of understanding the special challenges of the immigrant experience' California Bookwatch 'A memoir like this is so very rare, one in which you learn a great deal, while laughing throughout. Highly, highly recommended.' Wandering Educators 'I loved this book so much...I just could not stop reading. I loved everything in this book.' NetGalley reviewer 'A sharp, witty memoir...Margarita captured Jewish joy and grief together perfectly' Goodreads reviewer 'What a delightful book...Margarita gives us good look behind the Iron Curtain that alternates between serious, funny and sweet' Goodreads reviewer 'I loved this book...thoughtful, humorous, and at times even a bit heartbreaking' Goodreads reviewer 'Darkly funny...reminiscent of other acerbic comedian authors like Sara Barron...fascinating' NetGalley reviewer 'Gokun Silver treats her journey with humor and an eye for cultural details...an engaging read...an eye-opener...Many of the stories Gokun Silver shares about her parents acclimating to American life will ring true to any first or second-generation immigrant family.'

Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow

Ingram 出版
2021/06/29 出版

At a young age, author Jerome K. Jerome found a hobby that he was extremely skilled at, and very passionate about-idleness. He was thrilled at the amount of time he could waste doing nothing, frustrating those around him. However, when Jerome falls ill and is ordered to bedrest, this hobby is tested. Then, he learns that doing nothing is only fun when you have other commitments. This relatable sentiment is explored in the title essay of Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. Taking sometimes mundane topics and twisting them into the extraordinary, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow shares insight on a variety of topics. In On Being in Love Jerome applies his observations of couples to broader realizations of love and romance. Exploring an opposite, polarizing feeling, On Being in the Blues is a touching portrayal of living with depression, struggling through the lows and highs of mental health. While such essays invoke strong emotional reactions, others dabble in lighter topics, such as the attire of babies, the weather, and gluttonous appetites. Yet, whether the topic is profound or ordinary, Jerome finds a way to craft philosophical prose saturated in clever insight. Featuring fourteen witty and philosophical essays, Jerome's Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow considers topics of varying importance, from the author's opinion on cats to suffering through depressive episodes. Each accompanied by a personal, and usually hilarious narrative, these essays reach philosophic conclusions as they entertain with their captivating charm and sarcasm. Written with casual prose decorated with thorough imagery and figurative language, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow imparts fun and frank wisdom on its readers, still delighting audiences over a century after it was first published. This edition of Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow by Jerome K. Jerome is presented in an easy-to-read font and features an eye-catching new cover design. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring Jerome K Jerome's work to modern standards while preserving the original wit and charm of Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

You’ve Got M@il

Ingram 出版
2021/06/29 出版

You are lucky. Lucky, for to read this necessitates that you be alive. (Unless you're someone's "spirit" lingering around for some reason...like having a bone to pick with some of us, the living. Or, just one lost soul wandering aimlessly and happened upon this book) Lucky, you've got the time to read. Chances are you're one in the 2/3 of the world's population with access to potable water. The other 1/3 are too busy looking for H2O to even bother about reading. Huh? (I know what you're saying: "This guy is not only weird but also disconnected.") Read on. In this book is a "m@il" that goes: "Why Am I Not Dead Yet?" Another way of saying - "Why are 'YOU' still alive?" (Pardon such bluntness!) Said "m@il" tells you - more or less - "why" You may want to own (or just read) this book for that - Reason #1. Then there's #2. Which we do regularly. (In fact being "regular" is the way "to go" and is desired) But don't just sit there! Multitask. Maybe...brush your teeth at the same time? While at it, grab "a little book" ("this one") for a "quick read." Before you know it, your morning (or whenever you please) obligations are over with. There! Oh...one more obligation. And take it from me: "Please ("PLEASE!") wash your hands thoroughly with soap and copious amount of H2O" Be glad you're not a spirit (yet) and have access to improved H2O supply.

45 by #45

Ingram 出版
2021/06/29 出版

This book is an illustrated compilation of President Trump's 45 most notable tweets. Regardless of one's political affiliation or personal opinion on #45, most would agree that Trump was unconventional as a leader, in terms of how openly he communicated with his audience via Twitter. His facial expressions often spoke volumes as well, hence the visuals accompanying the tweets selected for this book. While Trump has always been vocal on social media, only public domain content is used here (from the commencement of his public office position, on January 20th, 2017 until Twitter's permanent suspension of his account on January 8th, 2021.) I envisioned this book and began compiling tweets during Trump's first year in office, but was really called to bring it to life when the ban occurred. This book captures a significant time in American history, with some humor added. Whether you see it as a memento or a prop to start a political debate with family during a holiday dinner, it is sure to inform, entertain - or do both!

Tales of the ToilerWilder Sam BrounsonWhyTales of the Toilet? You've seen it before your own eyes; someone accidently opens the door to someone using the toilet, entering a restroom with no privacy to someone on the toilet, a classic TV sitcom showing a bathroom with no toilet, favorite movies, novels, comic books, the internet, and standup comedy. It's only entertainment, and I hope you enjoy it. Stay safe and stay blessed!About the AuthorWilder Sam Brounson lives in Queens, New York, and was raised in Brooklyn.

Currently, he resides in Flushing, NY, with his partner/fianc矇 (hope-to-be wife), and she inspires him. This project is not only dedicated to her, but also to his family and friends and to The Heavenly Father for giving him the talent to create.

The Communist Manifesto

Ingram 出版
2021/06/17 出版

PLEASE READ: Widely loathed parody author Dick Cody Heese is responsible for this poorly-conceived spoof of Marx and Engels' "The Communist Manifesto." Written at the Hooters in Saugus, Massachusetts, in the span of 45 minutes, "The Communist Manifesto: But Tony Hawk Can Keep His Stuff" asks the question: What would change about the Communist Manifesto had Tony Hawk existed during the time of Marx and Engels? Heese's resounding conclusion is that the seminal document in political theory would have included exceptions allowing Tony Hawk to retain his private property in recognition of his gnarly skateboarding abilities and personable demeanor. In an act of parodic historical revisionism, Heese amends the Manifesto to include several sentence-long additions to each of its four parts to make this change on behalf of the original authors. In doing so, he saves Marx and Engels from becoming a casualty of their time given their inability to foresee the bodacious shredding a Californian skateboarder would accomplish nearly a century after their deaths. Heese has also written several other barely passable parodies, including "The Great Gatsby: But Nick has Scoliosis," "Moby-Kevin," and "Pride and Prejudice: But Mr. Darcy is a Vape God."

There's no place like Hollywood.Yet after decades of ignoring abuses of power, sequeling itself silly, and rebooting every godforsaken franchise into oblivion, Hollywood has made one thing clear: it needs a superhero to save it . . . from itself. And that superhero is you: an audacious writer too cool for a regular job, whose visionary screenplays have the blockbusting potential to put Tinseltown back on the pedestal. With these writing prompts, you'll be able to redefine the cinematic experience in a time when streaming services threaten what we all love most: gathering in a dark room with strangers to escape the terrors of the real world by watching those of an imagined one. Ready? Grab some popcorn and let's go to the movies with Hollywood Prompts Gone Wild.

Our Common Manners and Customs as Hebrew Peoples

Ingram 出版
2021/06/15 出版

The book agrees with the freed slave Dr Ola Udah Equiano who stated the possible close relationship of the manners and customs of his Ibo people with the ancient Israelites as represented in the book of Leviticus of the Hebrew Bible. The product of a research that begun in 1983 this book explores the similarities in vocabulary, ritual practice, beliefs, personal attributes, and common aspirations that are common to the ancient Israelites and the Ebo(e) ( variously rendered as Heebo(e), Ibu, Ibo, Igbo) peoples. The author uses Ibo to cover the part of Nigeria the Europeans called ''Ibo country.'' On the date of writing, this area covers what used to be the former eastern region, Delta and part of Kogi and Benue states wherever the Ibos are found in Nigeria and elsewhere. A limitation of this book is the difficulty in identifying the full list of countries in Africa where Ibos are found today as they spread as far as to Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and elsewhere.The book describes the various types of Jews in the world but suggests to the Ibo to avoid aligning with any. Rather to keep to their own identity especially as they seem to be the most original today. The book also calls all children of Jacob (Israel) all over the world to reinvent themselves as one people and cooperate with one another for collective survival in a hostile world. It opines that the true people of God are those people who truly appreciate the task Abraham's blessing confers on them as a people and would operate cooperatively to accomplish this task in a hostile world. It then calls on the Christendom to embrace true Christianity centred on Yeshua and as interpreted by Yeshua and his Apostles who handled Christianity purely from the Jewish view of interpreting scripture.
