  As a literary agent, Joy Eggerichs Reed sees book proposals that, unfortunately, she writes off after about sixty seconds of skimming. 
  While that may sound harsh, there are specific things she looks for that show her immediately how seriously a writer takes their goals of getting published. 
  Even though the first steps of writing and figuring out how to publish a book can feel daunting, this book will not only give you everything you need for an incredible proposal, but demystify the publishing process, tell you how to market yourself authentically (and enjoyably), and cheer you on with practical next steps as you decide which publishing route is best for you. 
  And, Joy wants to make this whole process FUN. 
  This is an upbeat 30-day guide with easy to follow examples, stories, and funny illustrations (that you're more than welcome to color in because your brain will need a break), as well as insider knowledge about how to catch an agent's eye, how to land your dream endorsement and how to wildly increase your chances of getting a book deal. 
  Non-fiction, memoir, or novel—this book will help authors (especially first-timers) who have questions and feel alone in the writing process. Let Joy be your (slightly aggressive) friend who will encourage you, tell you what to do, and leave you feeling oh-so-confident because of all the progress you've made by day 30. If you let this book guide you, you will close the last page, and involuntarily shout, "WOW, I did that!" 
  You’ll also get to know way more about Joy’s personal life than you probably wanted

  This bundle invites readers to walk the marble-paved streets of Rome at its height. The first section, Imperial Rome, explores the structured yet lavish lives of Roman elites, administrators, and common citizens. It reveals how the empire maintained order across vast territories using laws, infrastructure, and an intricate bureaucracy—while projecting power through majestic architecture and imperial ceremonies. From the palaces of emperors to the hum of city forums, this part paints a vivid picture of Rome's beating heart. 
  The second section, Gladiators and Games, dives into the thrilling (and often brutal) world of Roman entertainment. Learn about the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, the blood-soaked spectacles that kept the masses distracted, and the lives of gladiators who fought for fame and freedom. This part also covers chariot racing, theatrical performances, and the philosophy behind “bread and circuses”—how entertainment functioned as both cultural glue and political strategy. 
  In the final section, The Pax Romana, readers will discover the period of unprecedented peace and prosperity that allowed art, trade, and daily life to flourish. This chapter explores how stability encouraged innovation and helped Rome become a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and wealth. Imperial Life is a journey into the grandeur, governance, and gatherings that made Rome more than a military powerhouse—it was also a cultural empire that continues to fascinate the modern world.

  "Social Security Basics" is a comprehensive yet accessible guide that demystifies the complex world of Social Security benefits. Author Devin Carroll, drawing from his extensive experience helping distressed and confused clients, has created this essential resource to help readers confidently navigate the Social Security system. 
  The book is strategically divided into two main parts. The first part covers the fundamental aspects of Social Security that are crucial for everyone to understand. The second part specifically addresses the unique rules and considerations for public servants, with detailed explanations of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). 
  Carroll's motivation for writing this book stemmed from witnessing firsthand how the complicated and verbose nature of Social Security rules often left people frustrated and potentially missing out on their rightful benefits. Through years of studying, speaking engagements, and writing about Social Security, he realized that most questions could be answered through a solid grasp of the basic principles.

  For over two thousand years, this books has been the foundation of Chinese family life. Based on a series of conversations with Confucius, and supplemented by a series of story examples by an Emperor in the 11th Century, it is essential to understanding the nature and order of Chinese society. It speaks of how one should behave towards a senior such as one’s parents, elder brother or ruler, and the obligations that follow in the opposite direction. Written in 400BC, the Xiaojang is legendarily a dialogue between Confucius and Zeng Zi, a disciple who was well known for his filial piety.Since that time, it has been an essential tool of Chinese civilisation, often being the first book that Chinese children are given when they are able to read it. For Confucius and his disciples, family life is the foundation and cornerstone of society, and recognising the value and impact of family harmony on both the local and greater environments is crucial to stability and prosperity.SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESSThe Athenaeum.--"We wish that there were more of them; they are dreamy, lifelike, and fascinating."Pall Mall Gazette.--"No translation of this important work has been made since the beginning of the eighteenth century."Manchester Courier.--"Worthy of close study by all who would penetrate to the depth of Eastern thought and feeling."The Scotsman.--" should not fail to please readers of the more studious sort."Southport Guardian.--"will find considerable favour with all Students of Eastern Literature and Eastern Philosophy."Bristol Mercury.--"We commend these little books to all who imagine that there is no knowledge worth having outside Europe and America."Field.--"Such books are valuable aids to the understanding of a far-off age and people, and have a great interest for the student of literature."
