  "Polite-Ticks: Blood-Sucking Policy Seeks Healthy Hosts" 
  In this riotous and tweezer-grabbing political satire, "Polite-Ticks" exposes the parasitic side of modern politics, where politicians and lobbyists act like blood-sucking ticks. They latch onto democracy, slowly draining it dry while hiding behind handshakes and promises. With biting humor and real-world examples, this book uncovers how polite ticks bloat the budget, erode freedoms, and divide society—all while keeping the host (that’s us) blissfully unaware. Packed with hilarious insights, sharp sarcasm, and a civil anarchy plan to take back control, this is your guide to spotting the polite ticks feeding on your future and finally giving them the boot, fire, and flush they deserve!

  *From the acclaimed author of Ragged Edge*Road racers don't race for money; they race for the sheer rush of it. Skimming stone walls at speeds of over 200mph on bumpy, treacherous public roads with no room for errors offers a buzz like nothing else on earth. This is sport at its rawest, fastest, and most lethal.The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage.Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene. Their modern counterparts, like John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop, continue to push speeds higher and higher, the risks increasing with every mph gained, year on year. Faster, faster, faster.Through a host of exclusive interviews with riders, mechanics, team bosses, and race organisers, Win, Lose or Die takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world's most dangerous sports, revealing the triumphs and tragedies, the blood, the guts, the sweat, and the tears that are involved in winning a road race. This is extreme sport at its most extreme and the definitive look at the biggest, most lethal, motorcycle road races from around the world.

  LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT - GERMAN HAS A REPUTATION 
  Four grammar cases. Crazy long words. Those guttural sounds that make your throat hurt. 
  Everyone's heard the jokes. Your friends probably laughed when you said you were learning German. "Good luck with that," they said. 
  But here's what nobody tells you: German gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve. 
  The truth? If you speak English, you're already halfway there. German and English are linguistic cousins - thousands of words are nearly identical. "Water" is "Wasser." "Book" is "Buch." You already know more German than you think. 
  The real problem isn't German itself. It's how most people try to learn it - drowning in grammar tables before they can even say "Guten Tag." 
  "Conversational German Dialogues" by Language Mastery flips that approach completely. 
  HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS: 
  ✓ 100+ real conversations by native German speakers - the German people actually use in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna 
  ✓ Two-speed audio: Start slow to nail pronunciation, then speed up as your brain catches on 
  ✓ Story-driven learning that's actually interesting - vocabulary just sticks while you're entertained 
  ✓ Grammar you absorb naturally - no memorizing tables, just learning like kids do 
  ✓ Quick comprehension checks so you know you're progressing 
  ✓ Practical vocabulary for real situations 
  IN 30 DAYS YOU'LL: 
  ✓ Stop being intimidated and start enjoying German 
  ✓ Understand native speakers without panicking 
  ✓ Speak with confidence (even if your grammar isn't perfect yet) 
  ✓ Open doors to career opportunities in Europe's largest economy 
  No grammar drills. No boring textbooks. No feeling stupid. 
  Just real German that makes sense. The kind that gets you talking. 
  READY TO PROVE EVERYONE WRONG ABOUT GERMAN BEING "TOO HARD"? START NOW.

  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
  		 
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
  		 
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
  		 
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
