Summary

"Mechanical Drawing Self-Taught" by Joshua Rose is an essential manual for any aspiring artist who wants to add drawing machines to their list of skills. Though the machinery and techniques in the text were modern at the time it was released, they're now vintage and antique machines, which makes this an even more valuable text as getting a chance to see such machines in person is now a rarity.
Available since: 11/21/2023.

    This isn't a self-help book. It's a mental junk drawer — full of quotes, chaos, forklift wisdom, and a guy just trying to make sense of the noise. 
No chapters. No index. No roadmap. You'll find meaning, then lose it again. And maybe that's the point. 
It's part philosophy, part humor, part existential napkin scribble. 
If you've ever argued with God in a break room or felt like socks next to the couch might symbolize existential dread... you're in the right place.

Essential Italian vocabulary and verb conjugation practice is provided with examples that can be used in real-life situations. The English translation is provided after each Italian phrase.  
Take the mystery out of complicated Italian dishes with the list of famous Italian entrées provided in the appendix of Volume 2. Special sections in the appendix explain the different types of Italian pastas and famous regional Italian dishes found in different parts of Italy. Know what you are ordering — and how to pronounce your favorite dishes — before embarking on your trip to Italy!  
All courses of an Italian meal are also covered in separate lists in the appendix, from popular starters like drinks and appetizers to dessert; learn how to pronounce the names of various meats, fish, fruits and vegetables, side dishes, and of course Italian coffees and wines.  
The original Italian espresso drinks are listed so you can order “the real thing” while in Italy. Wine lovers can order any of the major Italian wines or liquors like a native by following our pronunciation guide. 
Volume 2 of the Audio Dialogue Practice Book maintains the structure in Volume 1. However, Volume 2 contains material for the intermediate student of Italian, which is taken from Chapters 10-18 of the Conversational Italian for Travelers textbook. This includes the second half of the “City Life” and the complete “At the Hotel and Restaurant” units.

    Discover some of the world's most awe-inspiring and holy places, from Stonehenge to Uluru, and Walden Pond to Angkor Wat.

Humans have always searched for and created meaning in the world around them, whether in breathtakingly stunning natural features and phenomena, acknowledging the ancient home of a particular faith or movement, or honouring the location of a significant event. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Alice Peck discusses what makes a place spiritual – whether reaches of time, geography, the provision of sustenance or inspiration, or mystery and magic – and then explores 80 such locations around the globe. Rather than a comprehensive travel guide, the description of each one includes a detail or tip – something beautiful, strange, relatively unknown or unfamiliar – to allow readers to deepen their focus and perhaps experience the place in a different way than they might expect. If you are unable to travel at this time, this book will help you plan your next adventure. And if you are trying to limit your carbon footprint, each destination is accompanied by a related meditation, prayer, practice or quotation to help you connect to the spirit of it from your own home.
