Download or read book Home Talks Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by John Humphrey Noyes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home-Talks, Vol. 1 They were at first reported from memory and from and: notes as could be taken in long hand; but since the days of phonography they have been reported verbatim. For two or three years past, Mr. Noyes has been revising them as they have appeared in the Oneida Circular. It is from these revised Talks (which are but a small part. Of the whole) that the present volume has been mostly taken; and in anticipation of future selections from the same source we call it Volume I. Its publication is in no wise due to its author, and we are sure it has not been carried on in any spirit of literary pretension. Mr. Noyes expects to be judged by what he has done and not by what he has said. Literature is to him, as it is to life on the whole, what music is to the marching column. I-ie cares more for the good shots, than he does for the sound of the drum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book How to Talk About Books You Haven t Read written by Pierre Bayard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... SEEING IS BELIEVING. I DOUBT whether anybody was ever convinced of the truth of immortality by argument alone. We may assent to that doctrine intellectually and in a general sense; but to have it- fixed in our consciousness as a fact of our own existence, requires something besides reasoning. I have reasoned on that subject from mv youth up; have weighed evidence concerning it pro and con; and if I am now a firm believer in immortality it is not because of my conclusions from any of the usual data presented by theologians and others on the subject, but because I find myself in sure communication with a personal being who is at least 1800 years old. If we should see a man who had actually survived on the earth for 1800 years, and we were certain of the fact, it would go far towards proving that men might live forever. Now, by communication with Jesus Christ we have just that kind of personal evidence. I know that one man who lived on the earth 1800 years ago is alive now; and not only is alive, but is in as youthful, growing and active condition as he was at thirty. This proof of the possibility of con tinued existence is, of course, to the person who has it, far more satisfactory than anything to be derived from abstract reasoning. We come to it by intuition. If we have this being who lived 1800 years ago for a friend, if we seek for interior fellowship with him, he can make us feel the truth about himself. He can give us a participation in his consciousness, such that we shall be as sure of the facts about his existence as we are of our own. We may come into such relations to him that the whole of his past life shall be open to us, with the memories belonging to it; so that whatever proofs of immortality exist in him may be ours. I...

Download or read book Factfulness written by Hans Rosling and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Download or read book Pogo The Complete Daily Sunday Comic Strips Vol 1 written by Walt Kelly and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walt Kelly blended nonsense language, poetry, and political and social satire to make Pogo an essential contribution to American “intellectual” comics. As the strip progressed, it became a hilarious platform for Kelly’s scathing political views in which he skewered national bogeymen like J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, George Wallace, and Richard Nixon. Walt Kelly started when newspaper strips shied away from politics ― Pogo was ahead of its time and ahead of later strips (such as Doonesbury and The Boondocks) that tackled political issues. Our first (of 12) volume reprints approximately the first two years of Pogo ― dailies and (for the first time) full-color Sundays. This first volume also introduces such enduring supporting characters as Porkypine, Churchy LaFemme, Beauregard Bugleboy, Seminole Sam, Howland Owl, and many others. And for Christmas, 1949, Kelly started his tradition of regaling his readers with his infamously and gloriously mangled Christmas carols.
