  "Candide, or Optimism" is a satirical novella written by the French philosopher Voltaire, first published in 1759. It follows the adventures of the young Candide, who is raised in a utopian world and taught that “all is for the best.” The narrative takes him through a series of misfortunes, exposing him to the harsh realities of the world, ultimately leading him to question his optimistic beliefs. Voltaire uses Candide’s journey to satirize religion, governments, the military, and the philosophy of optimism, particularly as espoused by Leibniz. "Candide" is considered one of the greatest achievements of Western literature

  No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
  . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
    
  Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
  All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
  Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
  But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
  If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
  Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles are river tales gathered from a career in outdoor education. Experiential learning is combined with humor to highlight environmental impacts and consequences. While the tales are humorous, each carries a lesson for those exploring the outdoors. 
  These stories serve as fun examples for outdoor leaders, teachers, camp counselors, and resource managers, making the book both educational and entertaining. After all, outdoor educators specialize in “edutainment.” 
  In the Chronicles, decisions must be made, leading to consequences and lessons. As Paul Petzoldt noted, people often need help understanding experiences to avoid repeating mistakes. These tales offer many examples of “what just happened.” 
  While not a deep dive into learning theory, the book shows different learning styles. As humorist Will Rogers said, “There are three kinds of people: those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation, and those who have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” Odell does the “peeing”—you just enjoy the stories! 
  Each of the five volumes follows the same structure, featuring forty-eight tales across four chapters:Inventions and AchievementsFamily ConnectionsRescue and SurvivalPhilosophy and Life 
  At the end of each tale, a “Tale of the Tale” section explains the real-life inspiration. 
  A Glossary of River Terms adds both accuracy and humor. Multiple appendices cross-reference:Rivers and locationsPreviously published talesOutdoor experience subjectsBuckenflush characters 
  Dr. Odell Buckenflush isn’t one real person, but a blend of real folks, imagination, and folklore. You might even recognize yourself in these adventures.
