  "On the Art of Poetry" is a treatise written by Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher, in the 4th century BC. The work is also known as "Poetics" and is considered one of the most important works of literary criticism in the Western tradition. 
  The treatise consists of 26 chapters in which Aristotle explores the nature of poetry and its various genres, including epic poetry, tragedy, comedy, and the various forms of poetry that exist. Aristotle also discusses the different elements that make up a successful work of poetry, such as plot, character, thought, diction, and spectacle, and offers detailed analysis and examples of each of these elements. 
  Aristotle also examines the psychological and emotional effects that poetry has on its audience and argues that the purpose of poetry is to imitate reality in a way that illuminates universal truths and helps people better understand the world around them. He also stresses the importance of unity, coherence, and logic in poetry, arguing that these qualities are essential for creating a work of art that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually satisfying. 
  Overall, "On the Art of Poetry" is a foundational work of literary criticism that has had a profound influence on Western literature and has shaped the way that we think about the art of storytelling and the role that poetry and literature play in our lives.

  In 1976, Di Rushing and her husband, Sam decided to open the first winery in Mississippi. Their business was thriving by 1990, with eight national award-winning wines, a beautiful vineyard, and a successful restaurant. 
   
   
   
  But in March of 1990, a series of unforeseen events rocked the operation. After the Rushings discovered one of the tour guides, Ray Russell, selling drugs in the winery parking lot, they fired him. He responded with a terrorizing vengeance that persisted over the next nine months. In the early morning hours, the former guide broke into the winery and released the entire inventory—nearly a quarter of a million dollars' worth—down the drain. Fortunately, his incompetence thwarted his most destructive intention to blow up the restaurant. In his rampage, he broke all the windows, which allowed the gas from the kitchen oven to escape, sparing the premises. Though the Rushings rebuilt with the help of their community, Russell continued to stalk and threaten the young family. As his menacing behavior continued to escalate, the Rushings closed their business of fourteen years and moved to Ouray, Colorado, where they began rebuilding their lives. Culminating in the sudden, violent murders of Russell, his wife, and his father twenty-five years later, this book tells a story of both shock and resilience, charting Mississippi history in the process.

  “Being ‘Drunk on Confidence’ is not some throw-away phrase for an inspirational Insta caption, it’s a lifestyle, a complete shift in perspective that will help you feel empowered and confident every day.” 
   
  Radio and TV personality, Heidi Anderson was always the girl who wore a cardigan in summer to cover her arms, and board shorts to the beach on the rare occasion she dared to go. She spent years hating herself; silencing her body demons through sex, booze and boys. 
   
  Heidi knows what it’s like to feel alone, to deal with debilitating anxiety daily and to constantly try to please people; pretending to be okay on the outside, while suffering crushing insecurities on the inside. 
   
  After breaking down on live radio to 300 thousand listeners and making the nerve-racking confession, 
   
  “I wish I could sit here and tell you that I love myself because that’s what people expect me to say, but I can’t. I absolutely hate my body” 
   
  She experienced a life-changing moment. 
   
  Her gut-wrenching admission forced her to embrace her vulnerabilities, challenge her old beliefs and learn how to say a big fat ‘’Fuck You” to unrealistic beauty standards, and a big ‘’Up Yours’’ to all diets and society’s expectations. 
   
  Heidi is unapologetically authentic, her memoir is filled with honesty, humour and home-truths. She will show you how she dealt with her inner mean girls that told her she wasn’t skinny enough, good enough or simply that other people mattered more than she did. She will inspire you to STOP worrying what other people think and take your power back! 
   
  ‘Heidi Anderson is a straight up legend; she just gets it! She works hard, she’s an ideas machine and is a content queen. Heidi is the ultimate hype girl, I know this cause she’s been mine since 2013.’ TANYA HENNESSY, Comedian, TV & Radio Personality

  The life of trailblazing physicist Mildred Dresselhaus, who expanded our understanding of the physical world. 
   
   
   
  As a girl in New York City in the 1940s, Mildred "Millie" Dresselhaus was taught that there were only three career options open to women: secretary, nurse, or teacher. In Carbon Queen, science writer Maia Weinstock describes how, with curiosity and drive, Dresselhaus defied expectations and forged a career as a pioneering scientist and engineer. Dresselhaus made highly influential discoveries about the properties of carbon and other materials and helped reshape our world in countless ways—from electronics to aviation to medicine to energy. She was also a trailblazer for women in STEM and a beloved educator, mentor, and colleague. 
   
   
    
  Her path wasn't easy. Her graduate adviser felt educating women was a waste of time. But Dresselhaus persisted, finding mentors in Nobel Prize–winning physicists Rosalyn Yalow and Enrico Fermi. Eventually, Dresselhaus became one of the first female professors at MIT, where she would spend nearly six decades. Weinstock explores the basics of Dresselhaus's work in carbon nanoscience accessibly and engagingly, describing how she identified key properties of carbon forms, leading to applications that range from lighter, stronger aircraft to more energy-efficient and flexible electronics.
