The book masterfully weaves together three fundamental aspects of French life: cultural literacy, culinary understanding, and regional diversity, presenting a comprehensive guide to navigating both the subtle and overt aspects of French society.

 
Through meticulous research across France's 13 metropolitan regions, the book reveals how seemingly simple activities - from ordering coffee to participating in business meetings - follow specific cultural protocols that can significantly enhance a visitor's experience. Drawing from anthropological studies, culinary history, and firsthand observations, it illuminates the deep connection between France's past and present, particularly in its renowned food traditions and social customs.

 
The exploration of regional identities provides fascinating insights into how local customs and cuisine vary across different areas, while maintaining their distinctly French character. What sets this work apart is its practical approach to cultural understanding, combining scholarly research with actionable advice for readers. Whether explaining the intricacies of market shopping protocols or providing guidelines for social interactions, the book serves as an invaluable resource for travelers, business professionals, and culinary enthusiasts alike.

 
Each chapter builds upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive framework for understanding and participating in French culture, from its celebrated gastronomy to its complex social etiquette.

  • A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry Journey From the Wolf-Sucking Start to the Farcical Dictator Face-Off of History's Favorite Oligarchic Republic - cover

    A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry...

    Forget dusty textbooks and noble senators. The real history of Rome is a chaotic, blood-soaked circus of power-crazed maniacs, backstabbing politicians, and enough megalomaniacs in togas to outfit a farce. 
    Behind the marble pillars and glittering triumphs lay a world of two-faced demagogues and ruthless ambition. Gilbert Abbott A Beckett’s legendary Comic History of Rome drags the Eternal City’s glorious past into the gloriously witty gutter where it belongs. 
    This is history as the finest form of satire. Witness the original sibling rivalry between Romulus and Remus, which ended—like so much in Rome—in betrayal. From the daring escape of Cloelia from the Etruscan camp to the grim reality of the gladiatorial arena, no sacred cow is left unskewered. A Beckett’s narrative, both “compendious and correct,” guides you through the chaos with dry, avuncular wit, suggesting we take the reign of Romulus with “an entire cellar of salt.” 
    Now, listen as the venerable figures of antiquity are revived in all their farcical glory: eavesdrop on the Senate’s petty squabbles, follow Hannibal’s troublesome Alpine holiday, and endure the terrible poetry and even worse governance of Emperor Nero. The original illustrations are vividly brought to life through the narrator's sharp performance, preserving the unique charm of this classic. 
    So, don your metaphorical laurel wreath and ready your laughter. This audiobook invites you to experience the hilarious rise and fall of an empire—a story far richer, and funnier, than any textbook would ever dare admit.

    Read by the author. 
    Give the gift of funny to anyone in your life (maybe even yourself!) who could use a dose of irreverent humor about why work stinks. 
    Customers want you to magically produce something from the back room. Bosses schedule you on your day off. Corporate policies are mandated that make zero practical sense. Sound familiar? 
    If you've ever worked in customer service (or any job, really), you know that everyone else—the customer, the boss, the company—is always right, and never the employee. Well, lucky for you, the "Angry Retail Guy" is more furious—and funnier—than ever in this hilariously unhinged guide to all the things we wish we could say out loud at work . . . without getting fired. In The Customer Is Always Wrong, you'll laugh (and maybe cry) at this rant-filled, illustrated attack on all the frustrating things that suck about work. 
    Expanding on the ire-filled, laugh-out-loud viral videos that have made him a (whispered) workplace name, Scott Seiss joyfully eviscerates not only overbearing customers but every annoying aspect of work like purposeless job interview questions, debatable brand values, and the walking human trainwrecks that are our bosses. Scott guides you all the way from first applying to the job, to inevitably gritting your teeth and smiling on your last day when that one manager you despise says, “Come back and visit us!” 
    The Customer Is Always Wrong is for anyone who:Is tired of their "raise" being as close as scientifically possible to 0 percentWants to tell their boss that not even the self-checkout machines want to work hereIs prepared to tell the next customer who asks to see the manager that the manager has no idea what's going on eitherCalls in sick whenever their PTO request is deniedBelieves entering a store five minutes before it closes should be illegalExplains, on a weekly basis, why someone can't use a coupon that expired 17 years agoIs physically repulsed by the phrase, "At this company, we're a family. . . ." 
      
    This tongue-in-cheek commiseration for workers will make you laugh out loud at the things that drive you crazy in the workplace. With Scott's signature rants, funny anecdotes, and absurd musings, this book celebrates and empowers underpaid and overworked employees with an uproarious ode to what we really think about our jobs and the customers that come with them (except the ones who read this book, of course). 
    Comics and graphics can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
