The Prophet Joan
By New York Times bestselling author Jay Heinrichs...THE PROPHET JOAN takes you on a moving, humor-filled ride through a snowy murder mystery, small-town politics, eloquent shrimp, and the nature of prophecy. "EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A CHARACTER IN AMERICAN LITERATURE KNOCKS YOU FLAT: for wit, imagination, resilience, wisdom. Meet Joan Mudgett. Who, at fourteen, lives on her own in a farm house beneath Jumper Mountain, outside a small village in New Hampshire. She cross country skis in the middle of the night, reads Moby-Dick obsessively, makes good money from stargazers who come to her field to view the northern lights, and actually goes to school. Her view of the world, like Huck Finn's, has been colored by traumatic events but remains generous and satirical. One night a raven lands beside her campfire and, in plain English, declares himself to be the archangel Gabriel, and Joan's world is upended. I loved this book. I laughed out loud. I appreciated the deep and particular sense of place, and I treasured its insights."-- Peter Heller, author of The Dog Stars and The Guide
Thank You for Arguing
This is a book for when you really have to get your point across.... Rhetoric - the art and science of persuasion - is not just an important skill, but the essential skill. We live our lives surrounded by persuasion: by posters, Coca Cola labels, politicians' press releases, cartoons and pop songs. Using all kinds of contemporary examples (from how Eminem really won the rapping contest in Eight Mile to how a cat coerces its owner into feeding it sooner) to illustrate classical rhetorical strategies, Jay Heinrichs opens our eyes to this hidden world. He teaches us not only to recognise these implicit, subliminal attempts at argument, but how to use these skills to get our own way. From avoiding a speeding ticket to recognising the difference between an argument and a fight, from Stalin's timing secret (and if it worked for the mass-murdering dictator it can work for you) to the Belushi paradigm, via the tactics of Monty Python, Yoda and Queen Victoria, THANK YOU FOR ARGUING is not just a highly enjoyable read, but an incredibly useful one too. From Cicero's secrets for moving an audience to Honest Abe's Shameless Trick, learn how to argue and most importantly how to win.
