The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art
by Joyce Carol OatesA tribute to the brilliant craftsmanship of one of our most distinguished writers, providing valuable insight into her inspiration and her method Joyce Carol Oates is widely regarded as one of America's greatest contemporary literary figures. Having written in a number of genres -- prose, poetry, personal and critical essays, as well as plays -- she is an artist ideally suited to answer essential questions about what makes a story striking, a novel come alive, a writer an artist as well as a craftsman. In The Faith of a Writer, Oates discusses the subjects most important to the narrative craft, touching on topics such as inspiration, memory, self-criticism, and "the unique power of the unconscious." On a more personal note, she speaks of childhood inspirations, offers advice to young writers, and discusses the wildly varying states of mind of a writer at work. Oates also pays homage to those she calls her "significant predecessors" and discusses the importance of reading in the life of a writer. Oates claims, "Inspiration and energy and even genius are rarely enough to make 'art': for prose fiction is also a craft, and craft must be learned, whether by accident or design." In fourteen succinct chapters, The Faith of a Writer provides valuable lessons on how language, ideas, and experience are assembled to create art.
Falco: The Official Companion
by Lindsey DavisOne of the stories from the bestselling historical fiction Falco series.As the girl came running up the steps, I decided she was wearing far too many clothes...So, in 1989, readers were introduced to Marcus Didius Falco, the Roman informer, as he stood on the steps of the Temple of Saturn, looking out across the Forum: the heart of his world. Twenty years and twenty books later, Falco fans want a companion volume.Only here will you learn the author's private background, including her descent from a failed assassin and how atheism improved her knitting. Here too are the real glories and heartache involved in research and creation: why the baby had to be born in Barcelona, which plots evolved from intense loathing of management trainees, what part a thermal vest played in the iconic Falco's conception. It can't be a complete handbook to ancient Rome, but it covers perennial issues. There are a hundred illustrations, some specially commissioned, others from family archives. Enlightening quotations come from the Falco books and from eminent sources: Juvenal, through Chandler, to 1066 and All That.Readers have asked for this book. Their paranoid, secretive author agrees it is now or never. Time to spill beans on the travertine...
Falcon Fever: A Falconer in the Twenty-first Century
by Tim GallagherWhat is so compelling about falconry? Tim Gallagher mines his lifelong obsession with falcons for an answer in this engaging volume interweaving memoir, history, and travelogue. An entire subculture exists outside the mainstream of American society consisting of obsessed individuals (Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and film-writer Tony Huston among them) who still use the ancient training techniques and language of falconry. Gallagher finds that his personal story connects on many levels with that of Frederick II, the thirteenth-century Holy Roman Emperor, legendary falconer, and notorious freethinker who brought the full wrath of the medieval church down upon his dynasty. While following Frederick's footsteps through southern Italy, Gallagher ponders his personal history as well. What salve to his spirit did falconry provide when it ignited his passion at age twelve? Beset by a turbulent childhood dominated by a brutal and violent father, Gallagher turned to this sport for emotional release. He offers us a unique glimpse into the contemporary falconry subculture, and the result is a surprisingly frank and revealing personal story.

Fall: The Mysterious Life and Death of Robert Maxwell, Britain's Most Notorious Media Baron
by John PrestonWinner of the UK’s 2022 Costa Prize for Biography“A portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures in the annals of white-collar crime. . . . A well-researched, compelling book that uncovers many mysteries about a media tycoon.”—Kirkus ReviewsFrom the acclaimed author of A Very English Scandal, a thrilling and dramatic true-life account of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious media moguls of all time: Robert Maxwell.In February 1991, Robert Maxwell triumphantly sailed into Manhattan harbor on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to buy the ailing New York Daily News. Taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand, children asked for his autograph, and patrons of the hottest restaurant in Manhattan gave him a standing ovation while he dined. Ten months later, Maxwell disappeared off that same yacht in the middle of the night and was later found dead in the water. As John Preston reveals in this entertaining and revealing biography, Maxwell’s death was as mysterious as his remarkable life.A tightly paced, addictive saga of ambition, hubris, narcissism, greed, power, and intrigue, Fall recounts Maxwell’s rise and fall and rise and fall again. Preston weaves backwards and forwards in time to examine the forces that shaped Maxwell, including his childhood as a Jew in occupied Eastern Europe through his failed political ambitions in the 1960s which ended in accusations of financial double-dealing, and his resurrection as a media mogul--and on to the family legacy he left behind, including his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell. Preston chronicles Maxwell’s all-encompassing rivalry with Rupert Murdoch—a battle that ruined Maxwell financially, threatened his sanity and lead, indirectly, to his death. Did Maxwell have a heart attack and fall overboard? Was his death suicide? Or was he murdered—possibly by Mossad or the KGB? Few in the twentieth century journeyed as far from his roots as Robert Maxwell. Yet, as Fall reveals, no one, however rich and powerful, can entirely escape their past.

Fallacies and Judgments of Reasonableness
by Bert Meuffels Frans H. van Eemeren Bart GarssenIn Fallacies and Judgments of Reasonableness, Frans H. van Eemeren, Bart Garssen and Bert Meuffels report on their systematic empirical research of the conventional validity of the pragma-dialectical discussion rules. The experimental studies they carried out during more than ten years start from the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation developed at the University of Amsterdam, their home university. In these studies they test methodically the intersubjective acceptability of the rules for critical discussion proposed in this theory by confronting ordinary arguers who have not received any special education in argumentation and fallacies with discussion fragments containing both fallacious and non-fallacious argumentative moves. The research covers a wide range of informal fallacies. In this way, the authors create a basis for comparing the theoretical reasonableness conception of pragma-dialectics with the norms for judging argumentative moves prevailing in argumentative practice. Fallacies and Judgments of Reasonableness provides a unique insight into the relationship between theoretical and practical conceptions of reasonableness, supported by extensive empirical material gained by means of sophisticated experimental research.
Fallschirmjager: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War)
by Diane Canwell Jon SutherlandThe photos in this book are taken from an unpublished album that belonged to a member of the elite German Paratroopers. First Sgt Wilhelm Plieschen served with Fallschirmjager Machine Gun Battalion 7, which suffered very heavy losses in the invasion of Crete, then saw bloody conflict as Hitlers "Fire-fighters" on the Russian Front and later put up fierce resistance in places such as Monte Casino. The revealing images that Jon Sutherland has compiled for us depict these struggles in dramatic detail, ranging from photographs taken en route to Crete of the paratroopers in a JU52 to 20 May 1941, when Plieschen was dropped over Crete. Some show other paratroopers drifting down and others feature formations of German aircraft amidst flak.Additionally, Sutherland has included amazing images depicting Germans on the deck of the badly damaged and abandoned HMS York in Souda Bay. There are photographs showing Major Erich Schulz decorating paratroopers on Crete and the then Commander of the Fallschirmjager, General Kurt Student inspecting the troops. We later pay witness to Plieschen in Russia, where outstanding rare photos of paratroopers in heavy winter camouflage clothing portray the men enduring the heavy fighting that occurred in the region.

La familia Wittgenstein
by Alexander WaughLa historia de una de las familias más excéntricas, geniales y revolucionarias del siglo XX. «Extraordinario y sorprendente. [...] Encaja a la perfección en la larga lista de obras maestras de no ficción impulsadas por la embriagadora riqueza de la Viena de fin de siglo. [...] Apasionante.»The New York Observer La historia de la familia Wittgenstein es la historia del siglo XX. Karl Wittgenstein fue un industrial millonario vienés, converso y patricio, con especial debilidad por el arte y la alta cultura. Sus ocho hijos nacieron aún bajo el signo del Imperio austrohúngaro, que se extinguiría con la Primera Guerra Mundial. La vida de todos ellos estuvo marcada por el espíritu de la Viena finisecular, aquella que vería crecer a escritores como Robert Musil o Joseph Roth, músicos como Mahler o Richard Strauss, y pintores como Gustav Klimt. Por el palacio de los Wittgenstein desfilaron personalidades de la talla de Brahms o Sigmund Freud. Sin embargo, esa atmósfera de prosperidad ocultaba tensiones y amarguras, producto del carácter despótico del padre, que llevaron a tres de los hermanos al suicidio. El cuarto, Paul Wittgenstein, llegó a ser un pianista excelente, aunque durante la Gran Guerra perdió la mano derecha. Quizá el más célebre de la familia sea el pequeño de los hermanos, Ludwig Wittgenstein, el gran filósofo, compañero de pupitre de otro vienés famoso: Adolf Hitler. Desafiando la autoridad paterna, Ludwig se negó a involucrarse en el negocio familiar y se marchó a Inglaterra para estudiar matemáticas y más tarde filosofía y lógica en Cambridge, con Bertrand Russell, quien siempre le consideró su alumno más brillante. Este libro, adictivo y conmovedor, constituye la primera biografía íntima de una de las familias más excéntricas, geniales, desgraciadas y fascinantes del siglo XX. Reseñas:«La historia de la familia Wittgenstein contiene tantas novelas como miembros de la estirpe. Y, una más, la historia entera del siglo XX.»La Vanguardia «Entretenido y muy recomendable.»Babelia «Un retrato literariamente inmenso.»Kirkus Reviews «La historia de este libro es tan interesante que llama la atención que nunca se haya contado de esta manera. [...] Es difícil imaginar otro relato que muestre tanta fluidez, ingenio y atención al detalle.»Literary Review «Maravilloso. Una aguda combinación de una formidable erudición [...] y un gran ojo para el absurdo. [...] Un volumen magníficamente refrescante que merece un amplio número de lectores.»The Independent «Waugh ha hecho un trabajo magistral desenredando una masa de complejidades financieras y psicológicas […]. Su escritura es ágil, segura y colorida [...] Una lectura placentera.»The Telegraph «Una obra de auténtico descubrimiento y de narrativa trepidante. Una biografía memorable, no se la pierdan.»London Evening Standard «Un relato literario sumamente ameno y meticulosamente investigado.»Terry Eagleton, The Guardian «Una lectura absorbente.»Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian «Waugh nos cuenta al menos una anécdota increíble por página mientras describe a este grupo asombrosamente inadaptado de locos cultivados.»Bloomberg

by Michael Reist Dr Nicole Letourneau Justin JoschkoThis special three-book bundle collects sage advice and guidance for today’s parent struggling to keep up in a rapidly-changing world. Two titles by Michael Reist discuss education; school is our children’s second home. They will spend more time there than anywhere else in their formative years. We all need to talk honestly about the nature of this environment. What Every Parent Should Know About School is an honest, positive, thought-provoking look at what schools are today and what they could be in the future. Raising Boys in a New Kind of World is a passionate call for greater empathy. The more we know about boys, the more realistic our expectations of them will be. Combining the expertise of its author – a celebrated expert in parent-infant mental health and mother of two – with the latest findings in gene-by-environment interactions, epigenetics, behavioural science, and attachment theory, Scientific Parenting describes how children’s genes determine their sensitivity to good or bad parenting, how environmental cues can switch critical genes on or off, and how addictive tendencies and mental health problems can become hardwired into the human brain.

The Family Firm: A Data-Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in the Early School Years (The ParentData Series #3)
by Emily OsterFrom the bestselling author of Expecting Better and Cribsheet, the next step in data driven parenting from economist Emily Oster.Parenting is a full-time job. It's time we start treating it like one.&“Emily Oster dives into the data on parenting issues, cuts through the clutter, and gives families the bottom line to help them make better decisions. Her books on pregnancy and toddlers skyrocketed her to parenting-world fame, and now she&’s back, crunching the numbers on topics that keep parents with school-age kids up at night.&” –Good Morning America&“A targeted mini-MBA program designed to help moms and dads establish best practices for day-to-day operations...It&’s all presented in the breezy, skeptical style that&’s made Oster&’s work a must-read for parents." -The Washington PostIn The Family Firm, Brown professor of economics and mom of two Emily Oster offers a classic business school framework for data-driven parents to think more deliberately about the key issues of the elementary years: school, health, extracurricular activities, and more.Unlike the hourly challenges of infant parenting, the big questions in this age come up less frequently. But we live with the consequences of our decisions for much longer. What's the right kind of school and at what age should a particular kid start? How do you encourage a healthy diet? Should kids play a sport and how seriously? How do you think smartly about encouraging children's independence? Along with these bigger questions, Oster investigates how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics.Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Parents of this age are often still working in baby mode, which is to say, under stress and on the fly. That is a classic management problem, and Oster takes a page from her time as a business school professor at the University of Chicago to show us that thoughtful business process can help smooth out tough family decisions.The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think clearly--and with less ambient stress--about the key decisions of the elementary school years.

The Family History Fun Factor: How to Gather and Preserve Family Folklore
by Marcha FoxAs a genealogist, what would you give to spend one day with one of your ancestors? To witness everyday details of his or her life, whether it involved a favorite recipe, cooking methods, gardening, transportation or how children spent their day? <p><p>Genealogy and stories related to major life events are often found in journals and other sources, but what about activities such as holiday celebrations or games children played on balmy summer evenings? Wouldn't you like to go one step beyond vague stories about walking four miles to school through two feet of snow or canning peaches on a woodstove? On a more recent level, what are your favorite memories about growing up? Did you carry on the same holiday traditions as an adult? Where and when did they originate? Generations ago? Or more recently? <p><p>Which begs the question, what will your progeny know about your daily life? Where do you even begin to record, much less organize, such things? What do you even call it? It's not genealogy, not family history--so what is it? All these delightful details about everyday life are what comprise family folklore! And if you want to learn how to preserve these precious family memories, The Family History Fun Factor tells you exactly how. You'll learn which genres are included, see examples, even find a checklist and resource list. <p><p>If you've procrastinated writing your personal history (and who hasn't?) this is the perfect place to start! No research is required, it's all inside your head. Just recall those everyday activities that make life worth living. Wait until the next holiday, if you like, then record what you do in the Family Folklore Idea Collection Sheet in the appendix. <p><p>Easy, peasy. <p><p>Subsequent generations will thank you for it.
