Book Description
Nicholas Alahverdian was forced to leave Rhode Island because he was becoming a publicity threat. And Florida was deemed far enough from Rhode Island to continue to keep him in exile where he could contact no soul who could help him. Alahverdian battled for over a decade of how and when to write his memoirs about growing up as an orphan and eventually attending Harvard University. Microbooks will provide that solution. It is easier for both author and reader. You can start to see that Nicholas Alahverdian's childhood and adolescence was complex. His experiences cannot merely be contained in one book. That's why he and his colleagues have embraced a non-linear history that details different aspects of his life as an orphan. Whilst he may no longer be the age of an orphan and is an adult, like all of us, with many successes and failures, he still considers himself to be on that vagabond train of life, living with a sense of unrehearsed spontaneity. It is this Dickensian spirit that most orphans possess, this craggy magic bursting within us that pushes us ever further to the next train stop of life, listening for that whistle to blow until we are swept away in the next enthralling adventure.

Book Description
Nicholas Alahverdian has battled for over a decade of how and when to write his memoirs about attending Harvard University and working for the government after growing up as an abused orphan. Alahverdian has decided to not take a linear approach to writing his memoir as not only would it exacerbate already worsening symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, but authoring microbooks in collaboration with his researcher and aide has proven to be an exciting project among voracious readers. In "The Orphan Chronicles", Nicholas Alahverdian intends to cover everything about his exciting life at Harvard, in politics, at the Capitol, and elsewhere in multiple microbooks that will range from 25-125 pages. In the Volume I of The Orphan Chronicles, entitled Dreading and Hoping All, Nicholas Alahverdian, in his blatant nonlinear approach, begins to bare his soul about the political machinations that resulted in his being sent hundreds of miles away from home where he was prevented from attending school or contacting anyone. In Dreading and Hoping All, Alahverdian begins to touch on the relationship of Rhode Island Governor Edward DiPrete and Family Court Chief Judge Jeremiah S. Jeremiah. When Nicholas begins to touch on the corrupt fiefdom of Judge Jeremiah, including the retention of David Tassoni who lied about having a law degree, Rhode Islanders will be infuriated as they learn about Jeremiah's corrupt acts which resulted in state and federal investigations until he was ultimately forced off the bench by the Rhode Island Supreme Court in 2010. Nicholas Alahverdian also explicates the meaning of being sent to a center in Florida where he was not allowed to contact a lawyer, a doctor, the police, the courts, or anyone who could save him from the abuse he endured. The Florida placement, Manatee Palms Youth Services, was shut down by the State of Florida multiple times for abuse and neglect, including torture as indicated by news organization Pro Publica. Nicholas Alahverdian gives a unique glimpse into the world of the Rhode Island DCYF as someone who has lived it, studied it, and work for the state government that controls this rogue agency. Any social worker, student, orphan, foster kid, or foster parent would love to read these microbooks to gain an education on how the system actually works -- and what can be done to change things permanently. Dreading and Hoping All is a poignant look at the foster care system, and Harvard scholar Nicholas Alahverdian does his best to give a bird's eye view of what occurs in some of the Department of Children, Youth, and Family's most unique cases.

Book Description
“Generation Dread is a vital and deeply compelling read.”—Adam McKay, award-winning writer, director, and producer (Vice, Succession, Don’t Look Up) “Read this courageous book.”—Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything “Wray shows finally that meaningful living is possible even in the face of that which threatens to extinguish life itself.”—Dr. Gabor Maté, author of When the Body Says No When we’re faced with record-breaking temperatures, worsening wildfires, more severe storms, and other devastating effects of climate change, feelings of anxiety and despair are normal. In Generation Dread, Britt Wray reminds us that our distress is, at its heart, a sign of our connection to and love for the world. The first step toward becoming a steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions—seeing them as a sign of our humanity and empathy and learning how to live with them. Britt Wray, a scientist and expert on the psychological impacts of the climate crisis, brilliantly weaves together research, insight from climate-aware therapists, and personal experience, to illuminate how we can connect with others, find purpose, and thrive in a warming, climate-unsettled world.

Book Description
'Donne is perhaps the most intellectual of English poets, and John Carey is perhaps the most intelligent of contemporary English literary critics. The encounter, as one might expect, is fierce and enthralling... This book is sensitive, searching, powerful, exciting, provocative and witty. It is a superb achievement.' Christopher Hill, TLS John Donne: Life, Mind and Art is a unique attempt to see Donne whole. Beginning with an account of his life, it takes as its domain not only the whole range of the poetry, but also the sermons, the letters, the spiritual and controversial works, and such highly personal documents as the treatise on suicide. The result is a clearer picture than has hitherto emerged of one of the most intricate and compelling of literary personalities. 'The one book we have needed all along... A magnificent exercise in reappraisal. I have never read a critical work which reaches as deeply inside the mind of its subject.' Jonathan Raban, Sunday Times 'Carey's book is itself alive with the kind of energy it attributes to Donne.' Christopher Ricks, London Review of Books

Book Description
Thomas Wolfe, an author in the Southern Literary Renaissance, was not like the Southern writers that preceded him. These foregoing authors focused on historical romances, purportedly valiant efforts by Confederate soldiers, and the antebellum Southern condition. This historical writing, firmly rooted in the traditionally Southern rhetorical style (a method, as Allen Tate argued in his 1959 essay “A Southern Mode of the Imagination,” of writing based on persuasion and oratory) began to diminish as the South witnessed several crucial events: the abolition of slavery, the defeat of the Confederate forces, and Reconstruction [1865–1877].

Book Description
Is a speech that denies itself as memorable bound to be forgotten, or will it be known throughout the world for ages to come? An ideal example of this ironic plight is the Gettysburg Address, now one of the most widely remarked upon speeches in American history. Did the speech surreptitiously employ a humble approach to enable the memorialization of this speech? Or was it truly an unintentional masterpiece of American rhetoric? Lincoln’s revered speech, as well as historical newspaper commentary related to its legacy, have been studied for decades by historians and critics. The Address is arguably one of the most effective speeches of all time, and not just in American history. But what was its captivating power: its striking lines? Its brevity? Its patriotism?

Book Description
Nicholas Alahverdian had everything going for him -- he was 14 years old, he was working for his state's legislature, and he had aspirations to attend Harvard or Yale. Unfortunately, Rhode Island politics is a blood sport. Since Nicholas was in DCYF foster care due to his abusive parents, he also served as a lens through which he could share with lawmakers the direct impact the state had on its children and adolescents. What Alahverdian found was a broken system immersed in disarray. As a result of his political activism, Nicholas made enemies amongst the bureaucrats in state agencies, the Family Court, and Governor Donald Carcieri himself. Alahverdian began to tell the members of the Senate and House what was happening in the infamous DCYF night-to-night program. He detailed torture and abuse. Alahverdian was later sent to facilities hundreds of miles from home where he could contact no one. Alahverdian's lawsuit, filed in 2011, is now available as an ebook. U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell called it "one of the finest written lawsuits -- and you're not even a lawyer!" With a powerful, telling preface, this book is preparatory to Alahverdian's extensive biography, to be released in 2019.

Book Description
This selection of the works of W B Yeats, includes the final book from the unfairly neglected narrative poem 'The Wanderings of Oisin' and a number of lyrics from Yeats's work as poetic dramatist. It breaks new ground by allowing the reader to engage with a dozen poems in alternative versions; in many other cases it provides significant variants, so that Yeats's struggle to revise his poetry can be experienced with unusual immediacy.

Book Description
An inside look at America's most controversial charter schools, and the moral and political questions around public education and school choice. The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In How the Other Half Learns, teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz, who has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted. Her results are astonishing, her methods unorthodox. Decades of well-intended efforts to improve our schools and close the "achievement gap" have set equity and excellence at war with each other: If you are wealthy, with the means to pay private school tuition or move to an affluent community, you can get your child into an excellent school. But if you are poor and black or brown, you have to settle for "equity" and a lecture--about fairness. About the need to be patient. And about how school choice for you only damages public schools for everyone else. Thousands of parents have chosen Success Academy, and thousands more sit on waiting lists to get in. But Moskowitz herself admits Success Academy "is not for everyone," and this raises uncomfortable questions we'd rather not ask, let alone answer: What if the price of giving a first-rate education to children least likely to receive it means acknowledging that you can't do it for everyone? What if some problems are just too hard for schools alone to solve?
