On Friendship
Author: Michel de Montaigne
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101651156
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
From the 100-part Penguin Great Ideas series comes a rumination on relationships, courtesy of one of the most influential French Renaissance philosophers. Michel de Montaigne was the originator of the modern essay form; in these diverse pieces he expresses his views on friendship, contemplates the idea that man is no different from any animal, argues that all cultures should be respected, and attempts, by an exploration of himself, to understand the nature of humanity. Penguin Great Ideas: Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves—and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war, and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked, and comforted. They have enriched lives—and destroyed them. Now Penguin Great Ideas brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. Other titles in the series include Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and Charles Darwin's On Natural Selection.

Pages : 396
Book Description
A tale of love, hardships, triumph, and success... It is the true story of Stephen Schutz and Susan Polis Schutz and their most unusual and often challenging ventures: Blue Mountain Arts greeting card company and bluemountain.com. Filled with practical business lessons... This story is a riveting account of the mistakes Susan and Stephen made, the solutions they designed, the successes they reached, and the personal and professional lessons they learned. This book gives you an excellent opportunity to learn from the Schutzes' experiences and insights. For anyone who has ever had a dream... In the late 1960's, Susan and Stephen were two idealistic, recent college graduates -- he, an artist with a Princeton Ph.D. in theoretical physics, and she, a teacher and a writer. One day, they decided to silk-screen posters that combined their art and poetry. They traveled around the country selling their posters while living out of a bright-yellow, pickup-truck camper. Thus, Blue Mountain Arts was born. About standing up and fighting for what you believe in... In the 1980's, Susan and Stephen designed the number-one-selling card line in the United States and found themselves battling one of America's largest corporations. Rather than watching their cards and company get destroyed, the Schutzes boldly went to court. The precedent-setting legal battle was dubbed by the media as the trial of David v. Goliath. An insider's look into the dot-com craze... In the late 1990's, Susan and Stephen, together with their eldest son, Jared, developed bluemountain.com -- a free Internet greeting card service that quickly grew into one of the world's most popular websites. A tender portrayal of love and life in an earlier, perhaps more innocent time... In a separate section, Susan shares her personal memories of growing up during the conservative 1950's in a small, country town. She speaks candidly about her college years, teaching, planning a commune, falling in love, and living amidst the political and philosophical turmoil of the 1960's. In heartfelt words, Susan describes her romantic relationship with Stephen and the births of their children. A business book with a soul... In sharp contrast to today's headlines of scandal and greed, this is the refreshing story of how the Schutzes followed their intuition, stayed true to their values and ideals, and created a flourishing company that has managed to stay ethical and successful at the same time. Better than fiction or fairy tale... You will laugh and cry and experience every emotion in between as you read the amazing story of Stephen and Susan Polis Schutz and Blue Mountain Arts. Book jacket.

Pages : 216
Book Description
An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face-not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the who did it? isn't nearly as important as the why?

Salamat Sa Intersectionality
Author: Dani Putney
Publisher: Okay Donkey Press
ISBN: 9781733244152
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Dani Putney's debut poetry collection, SALAMAT SA INTERSECTIONALITY, is a lyrical triptych that traces the evolution of the speaker's identity as a queer, non-binary, mixed-race Filipinx, and neurodivergent individual. Each "panel" of the speaker's life represents a distinct period of growth: a youthful beginning, which features important interactions with the speaker's parents; a sexually charged middle period that demonstrates the speaker's explorations of queer sexuality; and a contemplative third section wherein the speaker reckons with their various "selves." Imagery of the American West percolates through the collection to ground the speaker in their intersectional identity.
