Sinopse

In "The Comic English Grammar: A New And Facetious Introduction To The English Tongue," Percival Leigh employs a witty and humorous tone to demystify the complexities of the English language. Combining elements of satire with conventional grammar instruction, Leigh presents linguistic principles through clever anecdotes, playful illustrations, and an engaging narrative style that transforms the educational process into a delightful experience. This text serves not only as a grammar guide but as a reflection of Victorian Britain's evolving attitudes towards language, education, and humor, marking a significant contribution to the genre of grammatical guides of its time. Percival Leigh, a prolific writer and humorist of the 19th century, drew upon his own experiences with the rigidities of traditional grammar to create a more approachable method for understanding the English language. His background in journalism and the burgeoning popularity of the comic form allowed him to infuse a sense of levity into serious educational topics. Leigh's work is indicative of the broader cultural shifts of the Victorian era, where humor began to play a significant role in literary and instructional writing. For readers seeking an entertaining yet informative approach to mastering English grammar, Leigh's "Comic English Grammar" is an invaluable resource. It is recommended for educators, students, and anyone with a penchant for language who appreciates the interplay of humor and instruction, making it a timeless addition to both personal and academic libraries.

    Tele Aadsen met the ocean as a child when her parents traded jobs as veterinarians for a migratory life shared with sea birds, salmon, and fishermen. In the mist of the Tongass rainforest, Tele learned to explore life within endless shades of gray, coming to know firsthand how fine the line between life and death and the precarious balance of sea, land, and sky. She’s spent the four decades since trolling for salmon off Southeast Alaska. 
    In What Water Holds, a series of lyrical essays first shared at Oregon’s FisherPoets Gathering, Tele examines questions of equity, identity, community, the changing climate, and sustainability with loving, detailed attention, revealing the complexities within their many shades of gray. Weaving stories of what lies beneath the surface and the possibilities beyond, What Water Holds speaks to anyone who has fallen under the spell of the sea, struggled to find their own uncharted path, and wrestled with big philosophical questions – in short, anyone seeking to live a full, deeply considered life.  
    “In this beautiful, brave, knowledgeable collection, Aadsen invites us to examine an industry with clear eyes. Her recollections are rich and poignant, and her eye for social critique is unwavering as she lays bare the complexities of fishing life. Gender, death, power, history, relationships, and the natural world all come under her gaze and are shared with ruthless love.”

    The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond. 
    I’m assuming you’ve picked up this book because you’re either curious about having kids, you’re currently up the duff, or you’re stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or you’re killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard. 
    Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF. 
    Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, it’s a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normal…we promise. 
    Victoria Emes, in her best-selling autobiography, shares her experiences of childbirth, parenting, and the impact on her marriage. With humour and care, she navigates the reader through the realities of family life and the importance of maintaining health and fitness.

    Combining history, reportage, and nature writing with intimate moments of reflection, Greyhound tells of the journey from miscarriage to parenthood, and the purpose creativity gives to our lives when we feel purposeless 
     
    In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock traveled by Greyhound bus across the United States from Detroit to Los Angeles. Seventeen years later, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the cities, edgelands, highways, and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers—Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin, and Irma Kurtz—who also chronicled their road trips across the United States. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing, and literary criticism, Greyhound is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror, and complexity.
