Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self Reliance (Infinite Success)
Andrew Holmes - 2010
From 1836 to 1837, Emerson presented a series of lectures on the philosophy of history at Boston's Masonic Temple. These lectures were never published separately but many of Emerson's thoughts were later used in Self-reliance. In this book, first published in 1841, Emerson clearly illustrates the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and to follow his or her own instincts and ideas. Here, Andrew Holmes' interpretation of Self-reliance illustrates the timeless nature of Emerson's insights by bringing them to life through 52 modern case studies. This brilliant interpretation of Self-reliance is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on strategy ever written.

A Portrait of Dorian Grey
Dru Simon - 2012
Birds are beautiful and fascinating but living with them is nothing like living with dogs or cats.Enter the laughter- and amazement-filled world of an African Grey Parrot named Dorian and discover the trials and delights of what life is really like for those who live with these wonderful creatures. A Portrait of Dorian Grey is not only a history of the authors' life with Dorian and his “flock mates” but a treasure trove of priceless information about the reality of what it takes and what can be expected when you live with these astonishingly intelligent and highly demanding animals. Many colorful photographs illustrate the rewarding behaviors and requirements along with some of the more disturbing and trying aspects of life as part of a flock. Why do so many people spend more time making breakfast for their birds than they do for themselves and spend more money on bird toys and treats than they do on their own wardrobes? Come discover the thrill of having a cogent conversation with an evolved dinosaur, the delight of an animal that makes intelligent jokes, the challenge of how to keep a winged Houdini in his cage, and the pure delight of having your pet look up at your and actually say aloud, “I love you!”

The Essential Margery Allingham Collection: Sweet Danger, Traitor's Purse, The Tiger in the Smoke (The Albert Campion Mysteries)
Margery Allingham - 2017
And the rumours are true: Jack Havoc, charismatic outlaw, knife-wielding killer and ingenious jail-breaker, is on the loose once again. As Havoc stalks the smog-cloaked alleyways of the city, it falls to Albert Campion to hunt down the fugitive and put a stop to his rampage – before it’s too late… The Tiger in the Smoke can rank with any of the great thrillers in English literature. It conveys an understanding of goodness and evil more assuredly than any of them. More than an outstanding mystery, Margery Allingham has created a major novel. Traitor's Purse Celebrated amateur detective Albert Campion awakes in hospital accused of attacking a police officer and suffering from acute amnesia. All he can remember is that he was on a mission of vital importance to His Majesty’s government before his accident. On the run from the police and unable to recognise even his faithful servant or his beloved fiancee, Campion struggles desperately to put the pieces together while the very fate of England is at stake. Tightly plotted and perfectly drawn, Traitor’s Purse is an enduring classic of wartime fiction. Sweet Danger Nestled along the Adriatic coastline, the kingdom of Averna has suddenly – and suspiciously – become the hottest property in Europe, and Albert Campion is given the task of recovering the long-missing proofs of ownership. His mission takes him from the French Riviera to the sleepy village of Pontisbright, where he meets the flame-haired Amanda Fitton. Her family claim to be the rightful heirs to the principality, and insist on joining Campion’s quest. Unfortunately for them, a criminal financier and his heavies are also on the trail – the clock is ticking for Campion and his cohorts to outwit the thugs and solve the mystery of Averna.
