Book Description
Phrenology, the practice of studying character and mental capacity from the confirmation of the skull, has always been a fascinating subject. As Pope said: "The proper study of mankind is man." Here is a book with a lot of character--in fact, many characters, some famous and others infamous, from misers and murderers to presidents, philosophers and plenipotentiaries. These many and varied personalities are presented as illustrations of character traits. An example of Mirthfulness is Artemus Ward, the noted American humorist of a century ago. The contrast between his head and that of Kanosh an Indian chief, is striking if not exactly hair-raising. Sublimity is represented by William C. Bryant, the famous American poet and author of "Thanatopsis." The "organ" of Sublimity is situated on the side-head, directly above acquisitiveness and behind Ideality. "The function of Sublimity, "The book tells us, "is to give perception of grand and sublime in nature, art, and literature--to appreciate lofty mountains, the vastness of the ocean, the grandeur of a thunderstorm, the roar of artillery, the clash of armies…It is also an element in religious faith, and assist our conceptions of God and immortality."
Graphology - How to Read Character From Handwriting, With Full Explanation of the Science, and Many Examples Fully Analyzed

Book Description
Graphology is the art of reading character from handwriting. That there is a relationship between character and style of penmanship has long been recognized, but until recently little has been done to formulate the principles upon which this relationship is based. Enough has now been accomplished in this direction, however, to make it possible to lay down definite rules for determining one's disposition, aptitude and nature by the peculiarities of his handwriting. As a matter of pastime the author took up a study of this interesting subject several years ago. Finding it so full of entertainment and usefulness and realizing that there exists at present no popular treatise on the subject, notwithstanding the wide-spread interest and curiosity invariably aroused by an exhibition of ability to read character from handwriting, he has gathered together the results of his studies and experience, in the hope that the information here set forth may serve as a source of entertainment to the general reader and as a means of aiding those who desire to acquire a practical knowledge of graphology. The studies and investigations of the author, in conjunction with those of other students of the subject, have revealed the fact that every feature of a handwriting is indicative of some particular personal characteristic, and it is the object of this volume to point out these relationships; to show the characteristic features of handwritings and their corresponding personal indications, and, generally, to present the subject in such form as to make it readily possible for any one to demonstrate to his own satisfaction the relationship of character to chirography.

Book Description
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY RT BOOK REVIEWS Sure to thrill readers of Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson, Molly O’Keefe’s sizzling series cranks up the tension as a bad boy rides into town on his motorcycle—and teaches the girl next door to lose control when it comes to desire. After years of running, Wyatt Svenson has now parked himself in Bishop, Arkansas, trying to do the right thing and parent a son he didn’t even know he had until recently. Over six feet tall and packed with muscles and power, Ty likes to get his hands dirty, fixing his motorcycle at night and keeping his mind away from the mistakes he’s made. Then his pretty neighbor shows up on his driveway, doesn’t bother to introduce herself, and complains about the noise. First impression? She should loosen up. Funny that she turns out to be his son’s elementary school art teacher—and the only one willing to help his troubled boy. Ty needs her. In more ways than one. Though Shelby Monroe is safe in her structured life, she is drawn to Ty’s bad-boy edge and rugged sexuality. What if she just lets it all go: her worries about her mother, her fear of heartbreak, and her tight self control? What if she grabs Ty and takes a ride on the wild side? “What if” becomes reality—intense, exhilarating . . . and addictive. But Ty wants more than a secret affair. He wants it all with Shelby. But will she take a chance and open her heart? Ty is determined to convince Shelby to take the biggest risk of her life: on him. Praise for Between the Sheets “Phenomenal . . . The story is deep, complex, and rich, with emotional tones of hope, loss, regret, pain, and so many flavors of love.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The characters are genuine, their stories are authentic and there is a rawness of emotion that is completely unexpected. The chemistry Ty and Shelby share is electric and their sex scenes are sizzling on a whole new level. This is a fantastic read that surprises and thoroughly delights.”—RT Book Reviews (4-1/2 stars, Top Pick) “Dark, edgy, and emotionally turbulent, Between the Sheets is a . . . modern-day romance that speaks of second chances, love, heartbreak, redemption, and hope.”—Smexy Books “Once again, Molly O’Keefe explodes the traditional trope and creates characters that breathe. . . . Between the Sheets did what great books should do and let me live beside these people of Bishop and come to care about them. A lot.”—The Best Reviews “An intense, heartbreaking and poignant novel that is also insanely hot and incredibly passionate . . . another powerful novel of love and healing by Molly O’Keefe that old and new fans of the Boys of Bishop series do not want to miss.”—Book Reviews & More by Kathy
