Summary

If you want to hear something stupid, just listen to the nearest politician. From the authors of Read My Lips and Mission Accomplished!, this completely new collection of politicians' gaffes, slips and brain freezes brings the verbal misstep into the present era of coalition government in Britain, the 2012 presidential election campaign in America and the global phenomenon of Wikileaks. Here is a treasure trove of the finest worst utterings from the men and women whose main skill is meant to be their power of communication. From Bush, Obama and Palin to Brown, Cameron, Clegg and co., the mad, the bad, the stupid and the shameless are all in attendance -watch them shoot from the lip and hit themselves in the foot. If, as they always say, politicians want to be judged by their words, let them be these.

    “A guide to paying attention to the concrete, sensory details of experience and the process of getting them down on the page.” —James Barilla, author of My Backyard Jungle 
 
Based on what accomplished nonfiction writer Sara Mansfield Taber learned in her many years of field notebook keeping, Chance Particulars is a unique and handy primer for writers who want to use their experiences to tell a lively, satisfying story. Often, writers try to turn their notes into a memoir, essay, travel piece, or story, only to find that they haven’t recorded enough of details necessary to create evocative description. To help writers overcome this problem, Taber has composed a true “field notebook for field notebook keepers.” Enhanced by beautiful illustrations, this charming and comprehensive guide is a practical manual for anyone who wishes to learn or hone the crafts of writing, ethnography, or journalism. 
 
Writers of all levels, genres, and ages, as well as teachers of writing, will appreciate this useful tool for learning how to record the details that build vibrant prose. With this book in hand, you will be able to recreate times and places, conjure up intricate character portraits, and paint pictures of particular landscapes, cultures, and locales. 
 
“At once a delicious read and the distilled wisdom of a long-time teacher and virtuoso of the literary memoir. Her powerful lessons will give you rare and vital skills: to be able to read the world around you, and to read other writers, as a writer, that is, with your beadiest conjurer’s eye and mammoth heart. This is a book to savor, to engage with, and to reread, again and again.” —C. M. Mayo, author of Miraculous Air

    DISPEL ANY BELIEFS YOU HAVE ABOUT REAL ESTATE INVESTING, BECOMING A MILLIONAIRE, AND THE IDEOLOGY AROUND MONEY. 
Whether you have a bank account in the negative or a million dollars to invest, this book will not be like any other real estate guide you’ve read before. André Stewart not only gives you every single tool to make money in any real estate economic climate, but he also does so while navigating an unprecedented modern economy. If you want to be financially free in an unparalleled time in the history of any country, this is the book for you. 
In The Real Estate Investing Diet, André Stewart shares practical tools and techniques for gaining financial independence and generating long-term wealth through real estate investing—without using your own personal credit or up front capital. These approaches have been honed from advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives while working in the banking industry, but this book was written so everyone—from people in poverty to senior executives—can quit their job or supplement their income. There’s no reason everyone can’t live the life they deserve, or feel that they must be chained to a desk in order to succeed. Yet, many people believe this, and the purpose of this book is to help you discover ways to remove limiting beliefs that subconsciously hold you back from reaching your financial goals. 
To accomplish this, The Real Estate Investing Diet focuses on breaking down your money blueprint, enhancing your mental preparation, and creating the fundamental foundation needed for real estate investing. This book includes calendars, examples, and a strategic plan to help remove the underlying root cause that prevents people from being successful in their financial lives.
