Synopsis

Embark on a sweeping journey through the untamed landscapes of the Old West with 'The Ultimate Western Collection,' a rich anthology that encapsulates the spirit and lore of the American frontier. This diverse compilation presents a tapestry of narratives ranging from the intensely dramatic to the starkly realistic, highlighting the enduring allure of Western literature. Featuring a mosaic of styles, the collection embraces tales of adventure, survival, and morality that have captivated readers for generations. With standout pieces that evoke the dusty trails, lawless towns, and rugged individuals of the era, this anthology serves as a tribute to the foundational genre of Western fiction. The voices within this collection represent a constellation of literary giants, each bringing their unique perspective and cultural backdrop to the Western narrative. Spanning authors like Mark Twain, Jack London, and Willa Cather, these writers collectively capture the zeitgeist of post-Civil War America, with its rapid expansion and mythologized frontiers. Their varied backgrounds enrich the themes of individualism and the clash of civilizations, all while grounding their tales in the historical realities of western expansion, thereby providing readers with an invaluable glimpse into both the classic and evolving elements of this quintessentially American genre. 'The Ultimate Western Collection' offers an unparalleled opportunity to traverse the breadth and depth of Western fiction within a single volume. Readers are invited to engage with the anthology's vast spectrum of insights and themes, from personal redemption and lawlessness to the profound connection between man and nature. Whether one seeks to explore the historical significance of the Western narrative or indulge in the sheer exhilaration of its storytelling, this anthology stands as a beacon of educational value and literary engagement, fostering a dialogue through the dynamic interplay of its myriad of voices.

    A BOOK OF HEALING AND HOPE BY NEW ZEALAND TV JOURNALIST JEHAN CASINADER  
      
    'This is a powerful book that triumphantly celebrates life in all its complex forms.' 
    - Mental Health Foundation 
    As an award-winning TV journalist, Jehan Casinader told other people's stories - until he lost control of his own. Severely depressed, he tried everything - from mindfulness to massage; Prozac to Pilates. Was something missing? 
    This Is Not How It Ends chronicles Jehan's four-year battle with depression, and how the power of storytelling helped him to survive. He argues that many of us think our brains are broken, but in fact, our stories are broken. 
    Jehan began an experiment on himself. Could he rewrite his past? Could he reinvent his character? Could he create a whole new plot? 
    This gritty, vulnerable book will challenge readers' understanding of mental distress, and give them the tools to reshape their own life stories.

    What if the cleverest arguments were the most meaningless? 
    In Euthydemus, Plato unleashes his sharpest satire on the world of sophistry. When Socrates meets two cunning rhetoricians, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, a lesson on virtue quickly devolves into a whirlwind of verbal traps, circular logic, and baffling contradictions. Their aim? To appear wise—even if they say nothing at all. 
    This modern audiobook translation delivers Plato’s humor, irony, and insight with clarity and flair. Ideal for listeners curious about logic, language, and the fine line between cleverness and wisdom. 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	A comical, cautionary tale about the abuse of language and reasoning 
    •	The most absurd (and enlightening) philosophical dialogue ever written 
    •	Socrates’ cool-headed navigation through nonsense and noise 
    •	A fresh translation that brings Plato’s wit vividly to life 
    If you've ever argued just to win—or lost to someone who did—Euthydemus will both entertain and educate.

    "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

    If you could have a dinner party with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? 
     
     
     
    That's the question film critic and food writer Alissa Wilkinson answered as she gathered a hypothetical table of women who challenged norms and defied conventional wisdom. 
     
     
     
    Ella Baker, Alice B. Toklas, Hannah Arendt, Octavia Butler, Agnes Varda, Elizabeth David, Edna Lewis, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin: these smart, engaging, revolutionary, and creative twentieth-century women were all profoundly influenced by their own relationships to food, drink, and other elements of sustenance. 
     
     
     
    In Salty, Wilkinson explores the ways food managed to root these women into their various callings. For some, it was cultivating perseverance in the face of hardship. For others, it was nurturing a freedom to act, even in the face of opposition, toward justice and equality. For others, it was an examination of what it means to be human with all its desire, heartbreak, sacrifice, isolation, and liberty. 
     
     
     
    Salty is Alissa Wilkinson's invitation to you. Join these sharp, empowered, and often subversive women and discover how to live with courage, agency, grace, smarts, snark, saltiness, and sometimes feasting—even in uncertain times.

    John Barletta was a Vietnam veteran and Secret Service agent who spent over a decade with the Reagans, poised to give his own life at any moment to save the fortieth president of the United States. His superior riding skills made Barletta the perfect choice to protect Reagan during his frequent visits to the ranch. Over time, he got to know Reagan as few others did. 
     
     
     
    In Riding With Reagan, John Barletta shares his one-of-a-kind memories of the President, painting a picture of a relaxed Reagan at his very best. Through his eyes, we see a rugged man who thrived outdoors, deeply loved his wife and children, and was a prankster at heart. 
     
     
     
    Barletta also recalls the sad times: watching a once-robust Reagan fade into the dark shadows of Alzheimer's disease, and the painful moment when he had to tell the former president that his days of horseback riding had come to an end. 
     
     
     
    Poignant and candid, Riding With Reagan is an intimate portrait of the man who remains one of the most popular presidents in our nation's history. A stirring ode to friendship, brotherhood, and the great outdoors, it celebrates a true hero whose life and spirit are the embodiment of what it means to be an American.
