  Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe bestseller, The Writer's Home Companion 
   
   
   
  Dissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren't unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and cofounder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity; to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members; and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one's self to work at least fifteen minutes each day; setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.

  Social Security Basics - The...

  "Social Security Basics" is a comprehensive yet accessible guide that demystifies the complex world of Social Security benefits. Author Devin Carroll, drawing from his extensive experience helping distressed and confused clients, has created this essential resource to help readers confidently navigate the Social Security system. 
  The book is strategically divided into two main parts. The first part covers the fundamental aspects of Social Security that are crucial for everyone to understand. The second part specifically addresses the unique rules and considerations for public servants, with detailed explanations of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). 
  Carroll's motivation for writing this book stemmed from witnessing firsthand how the complicated and verbose nature of Social Security rules often left people frustrated and potentially missing out on their rightful benefits. Through years of studying, speaking engagements, and writing about Social Security, he realized that most questions could be answered through a solid grasp of the basic principles.

  Austerlitz or Death

  Auguste Vallois

  "Austerlitz or Death" is an epic historical novel by Auguste Vallois, a captain of the Imperial Guard who recounts his memories from the battlefields of Europe to the solitude of inner exile. 
  From his revolutionary youth in Lyon to the Egyptian campaign, the victories in Italy, the glory at Austerlitz, the frozen hell of Russia, and the final tragedy at Waterloo, Auguste tells the story of the Napoleonic Empire in first person and with painful clarity—not from the pages of history books, but from the blood, mud, and soul of those who built it… and watched it fall. 
  Through these pages, the reader will march alongside a man who lost everything but his honor. You will witness how a soldier is forged, how faith fades, how a sword is held even on broken knees. Each chapter is filled with emotion, introspection, fire, and silence. Every victory bears the taste of sacrifice, and every defeat, the dignity of those who never surrendered. 
  Vallois's prose is both elegant and raw, intimate and epic, heir to the great traditions of war and memory literature such as All Quiet on the Western Front or The Disasters of War. This is not the official history of Napoleon, nor the tale of grand strategists. It is the story of the anonymous men who believed in something greater than themselves… and paid the price. 
  A novel that masterfully blends epic military drama, psychological depth, and historical tragedy. Ideal for readers of war literature, historical fiction, soldier memoirs, or explorations of the human condition in times of crisis. 
  "I served the Emperor. And I do not regret it." 
  — Auguste Vallois
