Sober Stick Figure
Surrounded by alcohol and alcoholic strangers and alcoholic relatives her entire childhood, Amber never stood a chance. But for a long time she was an overachiever and a functional alcoholic. None of her relatives suspected a thing because in her family, the men were the alcoholics, not the women. After her dad died of the disease, she spiraled completely out of control -- 'Leaving Las Vegas drunk,' as she puts it. She hit rock bottom seven years ago, joined AA and has been completely sober since. The book spans from her first drink at the age of seven to a year following her sobriety. By telling the tale of alcoholism and recovery through a seemingly light, entertaining, child-like read -- and illustrated throughout with crude stick figures in crayon - Sober Stick Figure draws the reader into Amber's hard fought journey with wit and poignancy.

Marco Polo : History of the celebrated traveler
We should be inclined to consider Sir Marco Polo as one of the greatest travellers the world has ever seen. It is true he was not a man of genius; that he was not, like Columbus, inspired by a lofty enthusiasm; that he displayed no commanding superiority of character. But when we remember the vast compass of his journeys, and the circumstances under which they were carried out; when we remember, too, how close an observer he was, and how rigidly accurate, and his plenitude of energy and perseverance — we feel that he is, beyond all cavil or question, entitled to be recognized as the king of mediæval travelers... ABOUT THE AUTHOR James Augustus St John was born on 24 September 1795, in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales as the son of Gelly John and Rachel William. He married Eliza Caroline Agar Hansard in 1819, in St Anne's Church, Soho, Middlesex, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 6 sons and 2 daughters. He lived in Chiswick, Middlesex, England, United Kingdom in 1841 and Marylebone, London, England, United Kingdom in 1851. He died on 22 September 1875, in London, England, United Kingdom, at the age of 79..
The influence of diet on endurance and general efficiency
Experimental study of the physiological needs of the body for food has indicated that the real requirements of the system, especially for proteid foods, are far below the amounts called for by existing dietary standards, and still farther below the customary habits of the majority of mankind. The ability of the body to maintain a condition of physiological equilibrium, with a true nitrogen balance, etc., on a relatively small amount of nitrogenous food, would seemingly imply that the large surplus so generally consumed constitutes an entirely uncalled-for drain upon the system, as well as upon the pocket of the individual, and without any compensatory gain. In our experimental study of this question, observations on many individuals have extended over such long periods of time that there is apparently perfect safety in the conclusion that the new dietary standards which aim to conform to the true needs of the body are perfectly adapted to maintain health, strength and vigor indefinitely.
The stages in the social history of capitalism
The term “capitalism” is generally applied to the system under which the instruments of production are the property of private owners, who usually employ managers and manual workers to carry out production by their means... A word first of all to indicate clearly the point of view which characterizes the study. I shall not enter into the question of the formation of capital itself, that is, of the sum total of the goods employed by their possessor to produce more goods at a profit. It is the capitalist alone, the holder of capital, who will hold our attention. My purpose is simply to characterize, for the various epochs of economic history, the nature of this capitalist and to search for his origin. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Henri Pirenne (1862-1935) was a Belgian historian who made significant contributions to the field of medieval history.
Intermittent fasting
This book is not just a simple biographical account; it is an invitation to reflect, a bridge between the personal story of Jean "Johnny" Larochelle and certain contemporary societal issues, notably the global health crisis of obesity. With rigor and humility, Jean offers an insightful analysis of this pandemic, enriched by his thorough research and lived experience. Johnny's ambition with this publication goes beyond merely sharing his experiences. True to his essence, he aims to provide support and inspiration, revealing himself with courageous vulnerability for the sole purpose of enlightening and assisting others. Throughout the pages of this book, you will embark on a journey into Johnn...
How to make our ideas clear
How to make our ideas clear ? Whoever has looked into a modern treatise on logic of the common sort, will doubtless remember the two distinctions between clear and obscure conceptions, and between distinct and confused conceptions. They have lain in the books now for nigh two centuries, unimproved and unmodified, and are generally reckoned by logicians as among the gems of their doctrine. A clear idea is defined as one which is so apprehended that it will be recognized wherever it is met with, and so that no other will be mistaken for it. If it fails of this clearness, it is said to be obscure... ABOUT THE AUTHOR Charles Sanders Peirce (born Sept. 10, 1839, Cambridge, Mass., U.S.—died April 19, 1914, near Milford, Pa.) was an American scientist, logician, and philosopher who is noted for his work on the logic of relations and on pragmatism as a method of research.
Palestine
The country to which the name of Palestine is given by moderns is that portion in Asia which is comprehended within the 31st and 34th degrees north latitude, and extends from the Mediterranean to the Syrian Desert, eastward of the river Jordan and the Dead Sea. Whether viewed as the source of our religions faith; or as the most ancient fountain of our historical knowledge, this singular spot of earth has at all times been regarded with feelings of the deepest interest and curiosity. Inhabited for many ages by a people entitled above all others to the distinction of peculiar, it presents a record of events such as have not come to pass in any other land, monuments of a belief denied to all ot...
