Book Description
"AN AUTISTIC BOY WHO BEAT THE ODDS." Looking For Normal is the memoir of author, musician and filmmaker, Steve Slavin. His obsession with music, at an early age, led to a long career in the creative arts, albeit one plagued by clinical depression and the symptoms of a condition he was unaware of until 2008. In recounting the 48 years that led to his autism diagnosis, this darkly humorous memoir will inform and inspire anyone with an interest in mental health and autism. But more than this, it is the story of an "emotionally disturbed child, without a future" who, against the backdrop of low expectation, became an ambitious, independent adult, with a wife, daughters, and a career stifled by the long shadow of his childhood dysfunction. "A wonderful insight into an extraordinary life." - Peter Holmes Ph.D. "Insightful, inspiring, informative and entertaining. Looking For Normal is not just about overcoming the adversities that life throws at you on a regular basis. It is also about someone's journey of accepting, embracing and celebrating everything that comes with having autism." - Dr RF (Senior practitioner Educational Psychologist).

Book Description
In 1776, with pressure mounting to join the American Revolution, an intrepid young Post rider, Nathaniel Marten, accepts the task of carrying the sole copy of the Declaration of Independence to seven congressmen unable to attend the formal signing. British generals and double-crossing spies are eager to capture both him and the document so they can divide the colonies already weakened by war. Through encounters with well-known original founding fathers and mothers, and by witnessing the effects of the Revolution on ordinary Americans, Nathaniel must learn that independence--for himself, for those he loves, and for the country--is not granted, it's chosen.

Book Description
A story of finding where you belong, even if it involves time travel, shape shifting, and hacking. Helen Silverwood, fourteen, is sick of life on the run with her mom and her younger brother. Nothing makes sense. She doesn't understand why she has recurring dreams of shape-shifting creatures, why her mother is always disappearing, and how her brother can draw things that haven't happened yet. Most of all, Helen longs to know what happened to her dad--is he imprisoned, a fugitive, or gone forever? When someone blows up the apartment where Helen lives, the stories of the ancient Silverwood clan--and her role in it--begin to unravel. All Helen wants is to feel like there's someplace she belongs--but getting there will prove very, very complicated.

Book Description
'What is a self and how can a self come out of inanimate matter?' This is the riddle that drove Douglas Hofstadter to write this extraordinary book. In order to impart his original and personal view on the core mystery of human existence - our intangible sensation of 'I'-ness - Hofstadter defines the playful yet seemingly paradoxical notion of 'strange loop', and explicates this idea using analogies from many disciplines.

Book Description
“A hilarious, charming, and totally unique take” on what self-help advice works—and what doesn’t—by the cohosts of the By the Book podcast (Kristen Johnston, Emmy-winning actress and New York Times–bestselling author of Guts). In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they’ve learned with their devoted audience. In this funny, revealing book, Jolenta and Kristen synthesize the lessons and insights they’ve learned and tell their stories. How to Be Fine is a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn’t, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth. The topics they cover include: *Getting off your device *Engaging in positive self-talk *Downsizing *Admitting you’re a liar *Meditation *Going outside *Getting in touch with your emotions *Seeing a therapist “[A] grounded, large-hearted work . . . [The authors] strike a perfect balance between sharing their traumas and folding in amusing anecdotes. This will delight fans of self-help books and encourage even the hardest cynics to reconsider the genre.” —Publishers Weekly “Funny and wise.” —Library Journal

Book Description
Within these pages, you'll find 24 real weird works capable of enriching your life and entertaining your guests while they potty (let's be honest about where this book is going). Still, look a bit deeper, and you'll start uncovering commentary on subjects like existentialism, consumerism, feminism, and plus also bunches more -isms! I've spent countless hours crafting this collection of work, which is fortunate for you, because by reading this sentence you have implicitly agreed to purchase my book. Wow... this just got awkward, didn't it? I didn't want to trick you like that, but these things aren't cheap to print, and I couldn't risk you purchasing on merit alone. I mean, I can't PROVE you read that sentence, but what kind of person doesn't do the right thing and honor a totally dishonorable agreement? Right? I feel like you might still be waffling. Mostly because you're still reading this and not handing me your money. Let's see, you already know what's in it for me... Let's talk about what's in it for you! 1) You'll develop (or maintain) your reputation as a seasoned purveyor of all things eclectic and debonair. Putting this book on your coffee table is like wearing a pair of golden monocles. On the same eye. 2) You'll be a bona fide supporter of the arts, which not only makes you intrinsically superior to those uppity Johnsons, but also helps you get back an extra lil som'n-som'n come tax time. 3) I'll use your monies to help realize my dream of chucking a billion spaghetti noodles off the Empire State Building. Imagine the elation as wonderful, wet pasta begins showering the bewildered crowd below. And you, alongside other supporters of this nirvana moment, smiling with pride as you each raise a warm bowl of marinara. Buy the book. For you. For me. For the noodles.

Book Description
In May 1968, demonstrations against the French government spread across Parisian universities, and then to factories and other workplaces, resulting in a general strike of eleven million workers that brought the country to a virtual standstill. Among the students were a group who called themselves the Atelier Populaire, who produced hundreds of posters to encourage the protestors and to report on police brutality. Beauty Is In The Street reproduces over 200 of these posters which have become landmarks in political art and graphic design. Also included are a wealth of photographs, many published for the first time, and translations of first-hand accounts of the clashes between the students and strikers and the police.
