Book Description
Maps not only show the world, they help it turn. On an average day, we will consult some form of map approximately a dozen times, often without even noticing: checking the A-Z, the road atlas or the Sat Nav, scanning the tube or bus map, a quick Google online or hours wasted flying over a virtual Earth, navigating a way around a shopping centre, watching the weather forecast, planning a walk or a trip, catching up on the news, booking a holiday or hotel. Maps pepper logos, advertisements, illustrations, books, web pages and newspaper and magazine articles: they are a cipher for every area of human existence. At a stroke, they convey precise information about topography, layout, history, politics and power. They are the unsung heroes of life: Map Addict sings their song. There are some fine, dry tomes out there about the history and development of cartography: this is not one of them. Map Addict mixes wry observation with hard fact and considerable research, unearthing the offbeat, the unusual and the downright pedantic in a celebrati on of all things maps.

Book Description
Dr. Keith Ablow, bestselling author and host of a new daily one-hour daytime-TV talk show, presents his first self-help book. Based on more than 20 years of clinical experience and highlighting stories from his own practice, Ablow shows how ignoring or burying painful memories and experiences can negatively affect every aspect of our lives, and he presents strategies to help the reader transform the pain of the past into the power of the future. In a world where short-term talk therapy and medication are the latest trends to "fixing" an unhappy life, Ablow's message is controversial. But though examining the past can be daunting, Living the Truth is as comforting and rewarding as it is transformative. And through Ablow's fine storytelling skills, empathetic voice, and straight-up advice, the experience of reading this extraordinary book becomes the first step to living a truly authentic life.

Book Description
It is a tragic reality of life, which man cannot escape or run from. Every person inhabiting this planet has the good fortune of enjoying and sharing this environment on an even playing field. How we share and utilize this environment, is up to us. Despite our intelligence and the ability to rationalize logically, we adopt patterns of living, which result in our failure as human beings. Our failed existence, make us the victims of unpalatable, painful truths.We are the principal architects, who planned and designed the blue print for our undoing and downfall. The Mirror of Life presented its readers with vivid, graphic details of real life situations, in which victims faced ruin, disaster, pain, anguish, emotional turmoil and extreme remorse and regret.The inability of looking beyond your noses and assessing and evaluating future outcomes and consequences, accounted for much of the misery, disappointment and heart-ache. The misconception that money can buy you happiness and protect you from all adversities, was held up to ridicule and its false claim decimated, by the real-life stories presented by The Mirror. The mockery of this adage was paraded in shame, before its readers. Simple, common-sense living, uninfluenced by wealth or poverty, can protect and shield man against experiencing, the inevitable fate of coming face to face with such unpalatable, painful truths. Moderate and extreme lifestyles were juxtaposed to test the validity and outcome of choices available to mankind, in this Novella. Those who chose the extreme route were more vulnerable to pain and suffering. Those who embraced the moderate life style, while not totally free of such unpalatable, painful truths, were able to mitigate such consequences. They could, weather the storm and not drown in the cesspool of misery.These options are always available to mankind, but man’s inability to discern and make the right choices are questionable. Man’s indiscriminate and impulsive choices, account for the pain and sorrow, which he voluntarily accepts and drags alongside him, throughout his life.He alone can cut loose and break free from these self-imposed shackles. Love should never blind you to the reality staring you in the face.Seeing anomalies and denying their existence, can never be a sane solution and a recipe for healthy living. In our effort to shield and protect those we love, the truth is deliberately concealed.The irony is that those who protect and shield, are the ones most hurt by their caring, protective attitude. The greatest hurt and the most cruel cut emanates from man against man.Love and the expression of this emotion in its various manifestations, accounted for the severest pain and trauma to those dispensing it. Love, tempered with sobriety, can overcome the harsh backlash and accompanying misery. Love should be dispensed with controlled discretion. This golden rule should be observed, whether the recipient of this love is a child or an adult. The painful, unpalatable consequences of disregarding this golden rule, were clearly evident in the anecdotes, in which the characters Ben and Robin were presented by the Mirror of Life. Parading mischief and bad behavior as ‘cute,’ can be the worst parenting skill, which must be re-visited and revised. Man’s extreme, unchecked obsession, piloted by his insatiable greed and selfishness, can steer him into unchartered waters, from which there is no return. Even if he succeeds in escaping, he is scarred for life. The numerous real- life situations presented in this novella: The Mirror of Life: Unpalatable, Painful Truths Exposed, are a grim reminder to the discerning reader to live life with caution, avoiding the man-made traps and enticements, which can readily ensnare man. Thank you readers for your esteemed and highly respected company, in this edifying journey of self- discovery and redemption. May you never suffer the personal indignity of experiencing such unpalatable, painful truths o

Book Description
A Message from Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs Guy: Just to be clear, About My Mother is a book about my grandmother, written by my mother. That’s not to say it’s not about my mother—it is. In fact, About My Mother is as much about my mother as it is about my grandmother. In that sense, it’s really a book about “mothers.” …It is not, however, a book written by me. True, I did write the foreword. But it doesn’t mean I’ve written a book about my mother. I haven’t. Nor does it mean my mother’s book is about her son. It isn’t. It’s about my grandmother. And my mother. Just to be clear.—Mike A love letter to mothers everywhere, About My Mother will make you laugh and cry—and see yourself in its reflection. Peggy Rowe’s story of growing up as the daughter of Thelma Knobel is filled with warmth and humor. But Thelma could be your mother—there’s a Thelma in everyone’s life. She’s the person taking charge—the one who knows instinctively how things should be. Today, Thelma would be described as an alpha personality, but while growing up, her daughter Peggy saw her as a dictator—albeit a benevolent, loving one. They clashed from the beginning—Peggy, the horse-crazy tomboy, and Thelma, the genteel-yet-still-controlling mother, committed to raising two refined, ladylike daughters. Good luck. When major league baseball came to town in the early 1950s and turned sophisticated Thelma into a crazed Baltimore Orioles groupie, nobody was more surprised and embarrassed than Peggy. Life became a series of compromises—Thelma tolerating a daughter who pitched manure and galloped the countryside, while Peggy learned to tolerate the whacky Orioles fan who threw her underwear at the television, shouted insults at umpires, and lived by the orange-and-black schedule taped to the refrigerator door. Sometimes it takes a little distance to appreciate the people we love.
