Sinopsis

In an endeavour to write a book that captures the very essence of Englishness, a young Scot finds himself in 1920s England. To this end, he finds himself in typical English situations and circumstances, including participation in rural sports, international diplomacy, weekend trips to the country, and a village cricket match; all set to the backdrop of a nation going through significant social upheaval. This eloquent and affectionate novel will appeal to those with an interest in English culture and history, and it would make for a charming edition to any collection. Archibald Gordon Macdonell (1895 – 1941) was a Scottish writer, broadcaster, and journalist. Other notable works by this author include: “How Like An Angel” (1934), “The Autobiography of a Cad” (1938), and “Napoleon and his Marshals” (1934). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first published in 1935.

    Seeing Green offers comedic and straightforward entrepreneurial strategies for getting to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions. Angel Lance, a successful CEO, farmer, and self-described “pro-climate impactor,” provides a playbook for anyone who wants business success and a future on earth. Lance shares tactics―like throwing corporate retreats on her regenerative Oklahoma farm―that simultaneously benefit companies and the environment. With stories of misadventures in rural America that even nonbelievers will find inspiring, Lance busts stereotypes about the typical “environmentalist” and proves that being green doesn’t have to mean deprivation, that sustainability and profitability can go hand-in-hand. Seeing Green empowers people and companies to ride the wave of the ecological economy with productive enthusiasm.

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned red-baiting? The #1 New York Times–bestselling humorist rails against the silly people in our midst . . .   In the midst of the Clinton years, political satirist P. J. O’Rourke, in conjunction with the conservative magazine The American Spectator, launched into a gleeful project: carrying on the grand tradition of McCarthyism by compiling a New Enemies List. Their goal: to reveal the utter silliness of politicians, celebrities, and “everyone to the left of Edmund Burke” (Booklist). From Noam Chomsky to Yoko Ono to all the people who think quartz crystals cure herpes, this list is the result—and the book also include O’Rourke’s treatises on why Jimmy Carter was a better president than Bill Clinton, and why the author of Parliament of Whores and Give War a Chance is a conservative in the first place.

    Ben and I are just friends.  
       
    We've tried to be more, but it never works. There's no chemistry between us.  
       
    At least that's the story I tell everyone.  
       
    Truth is, I'm pining for Ben. HARD. Like Taylor Swift, You Belong With Me, hard. I don't know what happened. Suddenly, his casual touch is fire, and his easy smile stops my heart.  
       
    But Ben has put me in the friend zone. Permanently. His supermodel girlfriend and him setting me up with a pro football player confirm this.  
       
    It's time to bury these feelings. Lock them up. A famous pro athlete is exactly what I need to get over my infatuation. Except Ben isn't making things easy. He's leveled up his touching and flirting—all good stuff unless you're trying to move on with your life.  
       
    So what's a girl to do? Confess my feelings and risk losing my best friend? Or keep on pretending and end up with the wrong man?  
       
    Complete is a friends-to-lovers, laugh-out-loud love story that keeps the romance closed-door. It's book three in The Sweet Rom Com Series but can be read as a standalone.
