Book Description
Excerpt from In Bad Hands, Vol. 2 of 3: And Other Tales It's not as if you haven't been sensibly brought up, ' said Luke, gravely, or were one of those wenches in the village. It's just the sort 0' thing I can't abide in man or woman, Peggy; hardly in a child. I can't abide it.' Then don't abide it, ' said Peggy, pertly; 'that doesn't matter to anybody, I suppose.' I should hope it would matter to you, ' he said tenderly, now, and if it don't matter what I say or think, why, you're not my Peggy, but some other lass who's come out of My Lady's Chapel instead of yourself.'

Shop Class as Soulcraft
Author: Matthew B. CrawfordPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9781594202230
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
A philosopher/mechanic's wise (and sometimes funny) look at the challenges and pleasures of working with one's hands “This is a deep exploration of craftsmanship by someone with real, hands-on knowledge. The book is also quirky, surprising, and sometimes quite moving.” —Richard Sennett, author of The Craftsman Called “the sleeper hit of the publishing season” by The Boston Globe, Shop Class as Soulcraft became an instant bestseller, attracting readers with its radical (and timely) reappraisal of the merits of skilled manual labor. On both economic and psychological grounds, author Matthew B. Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a “knowledge worker,” based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing. Using his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford presents a wonderfully articulated call for self-reliance and a moving reflection on how we can live concretely in an ever more abstract world.

Excerpt from In Bad Hands, Vol. 1 of 3: And Other Tales Marsh Walk was the highway of the poorest poor - and the shopkeepers were, as a rule, very poor too, to match their customers. Names were always changing over the shop-fronts in Marsh Walk, and only the publicans and pawn brokers were old established and waxed fat on people's thirst or people's troubles. One of the poorest Shops in this neighbourhood to which we direct our reader's attention was Mr. Broadbrook's - and it was always a matter of grave speculation how Mr. Broadbrook lived and kept house and home together on easy shaving at a half-penny and gents and ladies hair cut at three-pence, ' or, cut and curled for the sum of fourpence, paid in advance, to save unnecessary disputes, or the fatigue of Opening credit accounts.

Hold'em Poker
Author: David SklanskyPublisher: Two Plus Two Publishing LLC
ISBN: 9781880685082
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Is must reading for anyone planning to play hold 'em. It was the first definitive work on hold'em poker and was originally published in 1976. Yet it is still one of the best-selling poker books available, and in 1997 it was expanded and updated to account for today's modern double blind structure. The text is designed for someone relatively new to the game, but it still contains much sophisticated material which all players should find beneficial. It is probably best known for the Sklansky Hand Rankings, which made the game much simpler to quantify and understand. Some of the topics include how Texas hold'em is played, the importance of position, the first two cards, the key flops, strategy before the flop, semibluffing, the free card, slowplaying, check raising, heads-up on fifth street, and how to read hands.

Book Description
Excerpt from In Bad Hands and Other Tales, Vol. 3 of 3 That ride home was very silent, and almost solemn. The shadows in the carriage seemed part of the gloom about my new life - now that the light of the old, as I have said already, had gone away for good. I was restless and disquieted for all my grave demeanour, and I sat and looked before me and tried to think it out. As if all the thinking in the world could have helped me! Suddenly, and when we were within a street or two of home, I said, 'You never mentioned this Monsieur Danano to me, Cicely.'
