Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeareby Diane Stanley, Peter VennemaISBN 0688162940 (0-688-16294-0)
Softcover, Mulberry Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeare'Book summary:William Shakespeare was the son of a glovemaker, a small-town boy with a grammar school education. Yet he grew up to become the greatest English-speaking playwright in the world. Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeare is both his story and that of a great art rediscovered in the modern world.
Drama had been forgotten since the days of ancient Greece, but it reemerged in Elizabethan London with the building of the first modern theater. Its impact can still be imagined today. There were the theaters, open to the weather and featuring neither sets nor curtains, but equipped with dramatic special effects. There were the companies of actors--the leading men, the comedians, the boys who played women's roles--and the playwrights who gave them all lines to say.
Best of all, there was William Shakespeare, who rubbed shoulders with noblemen and royalty as well as with the rowdy crowds at the foot of the stage. He was suspected of involvement in a treasonous rebellion, and his last play literally brought down the house when cannon effects set fire to the famous Globe theater and it burned to the ground.
Award-winning collaborators Diane Stanley and Peter Vennema have once again created a feast of words and pictures to celebrate the life of a remarkable person from the pages of history: William Shakespeare, a man for all time."

Rousseau's ideas have influenced almost every major political development of the last two hundred years, and are crucial to an understanding of phenomena as diverse as the French Revolution, modern educational theory, and the contemporary environmental movement. This is reason enough to draw attention to his startlingly alive autobiography. But the Confessions is also among the greatest self-portraits in world literature -which suggests, even more than the impact of Rousseau's thought, the extent to which the very high opinion he had of himself was ultimately justified.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Golden Legend: Sold Only As Individual Volumes (See Prod Id. 2594710 & 2594701)'Book summary:Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of both factual and fictional stories--some preposterous, some profound, and some shocking--The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book, after the Bible, during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a scholarly friar and eventual archbishop of Genoa, whose purpose was to captivate, encourage, and edify the faithful, while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church. In his new translation, the first in English of the complete text, William Granger Ryan captures the immediacy of this rich, image-filled work, and offers an important guide for readers interested in medieval art and literature and, more generally, in popular religious culture.
These stories have the effect of bringing the saints to life as real people, in the context of late thirteenth-century living, but in them the saints do things that ordinary people can only wonder at. There is St. Juliana, who, fed up with the propositions of a dull-witted demon, gives him a sound thrashing and tosses him in the sewer; St. Hilary, who challenges the authority of a corrupt pope and foresees the prelate's death; and St. James the Dismembered, who, with the chopping off of each body part by the Roman executioner, joyfully proclaims yet another reason for loving God.
In the course of reading these stories, which are arranged according to the order of saints' feast days throughout the liturgical year, we happen upon many fascinating cultural and historical topics, such as the Christianization of Roman holidays, the symbolism behind the monk's tonsure, Nero's "pregnancy," and the reason why chaste but hot-blooded women can grow beards. At the same time these stories draw abundantly on Holy Scripture to shed light on the mysteries of the Christian faith. The chapters devoted to Christ and to the Blessed Virgin are particularly moving examples of the mingling of doctrine and narrative to give life to dogma.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Heidi'Book summary:Johanna Spyri's classic story of a young orphan sent to live with her grumpy grandfather in the Swiss Alps is retold in it's entirety in this beautifully bound hardcover edition. Heidi has charmed and intrigued readers since it's original publication in 1880. Much more than a children's story, the narrative is also a lesson on the precarious nature of freedom, a luxury too often taken for granted. Heidi almost loses her liberty as she is ripped away from the tranquility of the mountains to tend to a sick cousin in the city. Happily, all's well that ends well, and the reader is left with only warm, fuzzy thoughts. Spryi's story will never grow wearisome--and this is a very appealing edition. --Naomi Gesinger [via]

Language Visible: Unraveling the Mystery of the Alphabet from A to Zby David SacksISBN 0676974872 (0-676-97487-2)
Hardcover, A.A. Knopf Canada
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Language Visible: Unraveling the Mystery of the Alphabet from A to Z'Book summary:Subtitled "Unraveling the Mystery of the Alphabet from A to Z," Language Visible is an intriguing and accessible study of the "particles" that come together to form language. The pictographic sources of the alphabet are a fascinating story, and Sacks delves into the history and archeology of that tale with a level of erudition that does not exclude the average intelligent reader. Sacks claims, quite justifiably, that the invention of the alphabet "judged on longevity and extent of modern daily use&compares with the wheel." In a long introductory chapter, the author discusses recent discoveries of the earliest alphabetic letters (1800 B.C.) in Egypt at the Wadi El Hol site. Scholars believe that the alphabet was invented there by humble soldiers "who were being excluded from the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphic writing." The remainder of the book is taken up with a chapter for each letter, discussing details of how the letter is used today and depicting the historical evolution of the letter shapes (A started out as an ox-head, S as an archer's bow). Numerous sidebars are included, exploring such subjects as the alphabet in the Middle Ages and the history of letters in type. While the historical material is well researched and always of interest, many of the details on the letters themselves are too obvious to justify their inclusion (A represents success in school, F shows failure). Altogether, however, the story of how all the words in all the books are made up of a combination of 26 letters is intellectually stimulating as well as entertaining. --Mark Frutkin [via]

Michelangeloby Diane StanleyISBN 0688150853 (0-688-15085-3)
Hardcover, Harpercollins Childrens Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Michelangelo'Book summary:Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the greatest artists of all time, was not exactly a noble and humble man. Irritable, arrogant, and impatient, his perfectionism and expectations drove away many potential friends, and even provoked one would-be friend to hit him in the nose, crushing it "like a biscuit." However, what's truly important for us today is that this man ultimately became an artistic genius, mastering the three arts of the Renaissance: sculpture, painting, and architecture. From his early years, when he created the Pieta (at age 25), to his 40 years of tormented work on a monumental tomb for Pope Julius II, to his greatest masterpiece, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo astounded people with his almost otherworldly talent.
Diane Stanley's well-researched, vivid narrative captures the life of the creator of some of the world's most beautiful, heart-wrenching works of art. Her illustrations are fantastically elaborate and include details of many of Michelangelo's sculptures and paintings.

2) Do you know the difference between enormous and enormity?
3) Do you know the adjective form of admonish, or the noun form of dubious?
If you answered no to any of these questions, you need Word Smart.
Improving your vocabulary is important, but where do you start? The English language has hundreds of thousands of words. To find out which words you absolutely need to know, The Princeton Review researched the vocabularies of educated adults. It analyzed newspapers from The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal, magazines from Time to Scientific American and books from current bestsellers to classics. It threw out the words that most people know and focused on the words that people misunderstand or misuse. From these, it selected 823 words that appeared most frequently.
And for students, The Princeton Review did the same thing. It analyzed the PSAT, the SAT, and GRE to determine which words are tested more frequently. Word Smart is the only vocabulary book you'll ever need.
(Answers:
1) Despite what most people think, peruse means to read carefully.
2) Enormity can refer to the state of being large, but it also means a wicked or depraved act.
3) Admonitory, dubiety.) [via]More editions of The Princeton Review: Word Smart Building an Educated Vocabulary:
