Paperback. Etat : Good. ?A quiver of eclogues, couplets, Zen epigrams, and you-name-it literary mischief. The fun is all ours.? ?Foreword Reviews ?Mott?s whiplash insights are as provocative as coiled springs.? ?Douglas Crase ?Mott?s lyrical antics embody poetry at its most earnest and parodic, a deadly potion stolen from the fountain of imagination.? ?Yunte Huang Glenn Mott?s Eclogues recast a classic pastoral form, making it uniquely suited to our times. He considers the inheritance of authority with a mixture of candor and humor in observations on social, natural, and metaphysical transactions. Inspired by China?s Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden, these epigrams, poems, and prose meditations achieve a heightened perception, transcending the garden variety truths of both East and West.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. "These are stories to cherish, as brilliant and charming as the writer himself."?Olivia Laing "The sensibility of a magician, a trickster's dark humor, and a formidable musical and literary erudition."?The New York Times Joseph Keckler's signatures are his magnificent three-plus-octave operatic voice and the mesmerizing stories he tells. Combining original pieces with material from his acclaimed performances, Keckler confirms his storytelling mastery, revealing still more of himself on the page.In these tales, one can't easily draw a line between reality, embellishment, and fantasy. Odd jobs and odder employers: what is it like to work for a blind man who runs an art gallery? Or for an aging club kid who administers a university classics department? These outré characters make an artful spectacle of daily life. Some strive to be center stage and others struggle to be seen, but all soldier on in the margins. In this world, you may board a familiar bus or train and find yourself in some shady netherworld, or skipping past midnight on New Year's Eve. There is sex with ghosts. And the incessant GPS voice that mocks the last moments of a longtime love.A celebration of the ridiculous and a tour through stations of longing, this diverse collection will thrill devotees and new fans alike.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE, 2021 Diane Glancy once again puts Indigenous women at the center of American history in her account of a young Inupiat woman who survived a treacherous arctic expedition alone. "This moving retelling of a heroic woman?s journey demonstrates that history lives through an intimate connection between two women beyond time?s borders."?Booklist, starred review In September 1921, a young Inupiat woman named Ada Blackjack traveled to Wrangel Island, 200 miles off the Arctic Coast of Siberia, as a cook and seamstress, along with four professional explorers. The expedition did not go as planned. When a rescue ship finally broke through the ice two years later, she was the only survivor.  Diane Glancy discovered Blackjack?s diary in the Dartmouth archives and created a new narrative based on the historical record and her vision of this woman?s extraordinary life. She tells the story of a woman facing danger, loss, and unimaginable hardship, yet surviving against the odds where four ?experts? could not. Beyond the expedition, the story examines Blackjack?s childhood experiences at an Indian residential school, her struggles as a mother and wife, and the faith that enabled her to survive alone on a remote island in the Arctic Sea. Glancy?s creative telling of this heroic tale is a high mark in her award-winning hybrid investigations of suffering, identity, and Native American history.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. If there's one question that many parents would rather not hear when Sophia or Aiden gets home from school, it's, Mom, can you help me with my algebra homework?And nowadays that question gets asked by younger and younger children because algebraic thinking has been inserted into the math curriculum as early as 5th grade, sometimes even in 4th grade So what helps parents recall algebra and also helps students learn it in a friendly way? The Algebra Survival Guide, now updated in its Second Edition. Following on the success of the award-winning First Edition book and written by teacher/tutor Josh Rappaport, the Second Edition Guide offers time-tested advice for understanding the key areas of this gateway math subject. The new Algebra Survival Guide features a unique Q&A format so students hear their own questions echoed in the text. The book's answers, written in the voice of a friendly tutor, provide conversational responses, along with step-by-step instructions in English right next to the math steps. Each page is a one-page mini-lesson so students can focus without feeling overwhelmed. Following each lesson is a short set of practice problems, offering students instant feedback. At the end of each section, chapter tests provide comprehensive checks on understanding. Since word problems are often the highest hurdle of algebra, the Second Edition contains a new 62-page chapter on advanced word problems. This chapter provides detailed strategies for setting up and solving word problems on such dastardly areas as rate, time and distance, work performed, mixture formulas, and even those crazy problems about Joe being three years older than four times Jane's age 10 years in the future.In its twelve content chapters the 352-page Second Edition covers all key areas of PreAlgebra and Algebra 1: Algebraic Properties, Sets of Numbers, Positive and Negative Numbers, Order of Operations, Absolute Value, Exponents, Radicals, Factoring, Cancelling, Solving Equations, the Coordinate Plane, and Word Problems. As a major bonus, the Guide buzzes with lively illustrations by award-winning artist Sally Blakemore. Ms. Blakemore's cartoons not only provide comic relief, they also offer a visual way to grasp algebra's challenging abstractions. (Example: to illustrate the Reflexive Property of x = x, a cartoon shows a sad 'x' gazing at itself in the mirror while suffering a 'bad hair day.') With all of these features, the Second Edition Algebra Survival Guide appeals equally to homeschoolers, students, parents, teachers, tutors and adult students striving to recall the math they learned a decade or so ago.The Second Edition aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Math, so it's up-to-date for today's teachers. Loaded with thorough explanations, practice problems and answers, the new Algebra Survival Guide gives anyone and everyone the needed boost for learning or teaching the timeless and critical subject of algebra.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Part autobiography, part a humourous study of Americana, these essays from Tim Brookes, who moved from England to New England, came about as an accident. While working on a doomed book about communting, Brookes developed an odd affection for dirt roads, in particular his own driveway - a tiny dirt road, a masterpiece of inconvenience. The result is this wonderful book, a well-balanced mix of family life, nature, skewed Americana and shrewd English wit. A perfect book for anyone who has ever visited America, or ever wanted to do so.…
