Sinossi

"Thumb Tack Pins" explores the fascinating history and technological evolution of the humble thumb tack, a seemingly simple fastener that has profoundly impacted organizational efficiency. Consider that this tiny object emerged from the need to secure the ever-increasing paperwork of the early 1900s. The book highlights how its design and mass production reflect significant advancements in fastening technology and business history. This book uniquely examines the thumb tack's journey from a novel invention to an indispensable tool.

 
Early chapters detail fastening challenges before the thumb tack's creation and subsequent patents. Later, the book delves into the evolution of manufacturing processes and material use. The book demonstrates how this unassuming invention continues to have relevance in the digital age. The book uses patent documents and historical ads to support the analysis. It also connects with broader fields of study such as the history of technology and material culture.

    How to live wisely and well in the twenty-first century-an introduction to the modern art of emotional intelligence.
    
    Emotional intelligence affects every aspect of the way we live, from romantic to professional relationships, from our inner resilience to our social success. It is arguably the single most important skill for surviving the twenty-first century. But what does it really mean?

Now he presents the gathered wisdom of those ten years in a wide-ranging and innovative compendium of emotional intelligence that forms an introduction to The School of Life. Using his trademark mixture of analysis and anecdote, philosophical insight and practical wisdom, he considers how we interact with each other and with ourselves, and how we can do so better.

The core of his proposals, the maintenance of a professional standing army, was revolutionary for medieval Europe, while his theory of deterrence through strength remains the foundation of modern Western defence policy.

  • Backroads of Paradise - A Journey to Rediscover Old Florida - cover

    Backroads of Paradise - A...

    In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project sent mostly anonymous writers into the depths of Florida to reveal its splendor to the world. The FWP and the State of Florida jointly published the results as Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, which included twenty-two driving tours of the state's main roads. Retracing the original routes in the Guide, Cathy Salustri rekindles our notions of paradise by bringing a modern eye to the historic travelogues. 
     
     
     
    Salustri's 5,000-mile road trip reveals a patchwork quilt of Florida cultures. The journey begins on US 98, heading west toward the Florida/Alabama state line, where coastal towns dot the roadway. Along US 17, she stops at Florida's oldest diner and visits a collection of springs interconnected by underwater mazes tumbling through white spongy limestone, before stopping in Arcadia, where men still bring cattle to auction. 
     
     
     
    Woven through these journeys are nuggets of history, environmental debates about Florida's future, and a narrative that combines humor with a strong affection for an oft-maligned state. 
     
     
     
    Today, Salustri urges, tourists need a new nudge to get off the interstates or away from Disney in order to discover the real Florida.

    Are you feeling drawn to adopt but your mind is afraid, confused, or overwhelmed by stories you've heard in the news and comments from other people? 
    As an adoptive mom of a sibling pair, I am often asked about the foster care adoption process. I often share my own stories and stories I've been told from those I know who have actually navigated this journey.  
    This is the basis for why this book came to life—to share real life stories with others who are considering adopting through the foster care system and to raise awareness about the 113,000 children who are currently waiting in the system for their forever family. Some profiles of these children can be found online; but, in order to adopt them, you need to first navigate through the licensing process.  
    There are over 45 topics in this book to help you with deciding and applying to go this route, getting through the training, home study, legal, and matching processes, and to equip you with practical insights for the parenting journey.  
    Inside you'll learn: 
    - what foster care adoption is and which children can be adopted 
    - why some families waited and how some pursued this path after facing infertility 
    - how some had to be persistent and how they endured the process 
    - tips for parenting children who have experienced neglect, trauma, alcohol exposure 
    - tips for parenting children who have mental health or medical needs 
    and more!
