Book Description
The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Book Description
Fresh from a near-death experience in the hospitals of Washington, DC, Dr. Kasonso explains the essence of life in our world today, including timeless principles, inspirational stories, and a personal witness of what holds life together. Human existence is a quest to find significance. We all want our lives, our activities, our situations, and the people around us to make sense. But in our broken world, life is always juxtaposed by endless predicaments. As such, we all live through unresolved dilemmas, we all carry around unanswered questions, and we all live through unexplained events. There are always two sides to every life storywhat we know and we do not know, what we can reach for and what is completely beyond us, what we can live with and what we can live without. Relive the principles that make life worth living, and discover a way to find meaning in a broken world in The Original Templates. Dr. Kasonso beautifully captures the essence of what it means to live a life that is fully surrendered to Jesus. It is inspiring. It is encouraging. It is challenging.

Book Description
It s a long road that has no turning... Empty vessels make the most noise... such sayings are an essential part of our communication equipment; of our everyday speech. This collection presents sayings both so usual that we use them without thinking, and so unusual that they bring us up short when we hear them. But, as the introductory essay discusses, even the most obscure saying is immediately recognisable for what it is, and its meaning and use are instantly clear. This Wordsworth collection acts both as a classified list of sayings, and as a source of bon mots for brightening up one's conversational skills, and will provide a welcome and amusing companion for your other reference books.
