  *Winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Book*  
  An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
  Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco. She’s packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively buzz of crowded medinas, from families’ homes to local hot spots, she brings a part of the world that is often flattened by news headlines into real and colorful relief.    
  A natural storyteller with an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O’Neill explores the indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much more than words. 
  “Zora O’Neill is a wonderful writer, a hakawati who can spin a tale with the best of them.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati and An Unnecessary Woman 
  “Wry, witty, and charmingly erudite, this lovely book goes through the looking glass of the Arabic language and emerges with a radiant image of the Arab world.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Life Without a Recipe, Crescent, The Language of Baklava, and others

  When he was a child, James Middleton wanted nothing more than a dog of his own. 
   
   
   
  Struggling to connect in the classroom, James would often take off in pursuit of nature and animals—exploring the Berkshire countryside, tinkering with rusty farm machinery, caring for injured creatures, and losing himself for hours to the outdoors. 
   
   
   
  Then, finally, his pleas for a dog (made via handwritten letters to his parents) were answered. 
   
   
   
  Meet Ella traces the extraordinary bond between James and his beloved first pup, Ella. From their enchanting introduction to their many adventures, from Scottish mountain sides to royal weddings, their journey is marked by love, loyalty, and unexpected twists of fate. 
   
   
   
  But beyond the glamorous veneer of society engagements and entrepreneurial achievements lies a deeply personal account of James's battle with depression. Through unconditional love, Ella emerges as an intuitive friend, reading James's moods and offering solace, becoming the catalyst for his healing journey and helping him to see all the good in his life and future. 
   
   
   
  Meet Ella is a wonderfully heartwarming celebration of an unbreakable bond and the amazing healing potential of the human-animal connection.

  Ultimate Dog Care - Master...

  Choosing the right puppy is an exciting yet significant decision that can shape your life for many years. It’s not just about finding the cutest face or fluffiest coat—it's about finding a dog whose personality, energy level, and needs align with your lifestyle. This chapter walks you through the essential steps in selecting the pup that’s just right for you. 
  Start by considering your daily routine and environment. Are you an active person who enjoys outdoor adventures, or do you prefer quiet evenings at home? High-energy breeds like Border Collies, Huskies, and Labrador Retrievers thrive with lots of activity and space to run. On the other hand, lower-energy breeds like Bulldogs or Basset Hounds are generally content with shorter walks and more relaxed indoor time. Apartment dwellers might benefit from smaller breeds, such as French Bulldogs or Dachshunds, while those with a backyard can consider larger breeds. 
  Next, think about your experience with dogs. First-time dog owners may find it easier to care for breeds known for their friendly, adaptable nature—like Golden Retrievers or Cavaliers. More independent or strong-willed breeds might require an experienced handler who can confidently train and set boundaries.

  Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
   
   
    
  But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.

  Arthur Scott Bailey (1877 – 1949) was the author of more than forty children's books. "Mr. Bailey centered all his plots in the animal, bird and insect worlds, weaving natural history into the stories in a way that won educator's approval without arousing the suspicions of his young readers. He made it a habit to never 'write down' to children and frequently used words beyond the average juvenile vocabulary, believing that youngsters respond to the stimulus of the unfamiliar." (Wikipedia)
