  In this collection from the hit webcomic, the pink-haired, sassy senior shares some witty words on love, sex, and marriage. “The trouble with women today is that they get all excited about nothing...and then marry him.” “If absence makes the heart grow fonder, some people I know haven’t been gone freakin’ long enough.” Created to give “the crazy old lady in all of us” a voice that can be heard from ten blocks away, the feisty Aunty Acid is here to share her thoughts and feelings on all things romantic. With her long-suffering husband, Walt, Aunty Acid tells it like it is and has her own unique opinions on everything. Aunty Acid is created by Ged Backland and is brought to life by the team at the Backland Studio in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in Northern England. Their other properties include the widely successful Scarlett & Crimson series.

  Introducing Shakespeare - A...

  Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with block-buster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think.
  
  Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshiped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of intense controversies which have surrounded his work. 
  
  Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, Introducing Shakespeare is a tour through the world of Will and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out.

  Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and provocative questions, such as:
  
  What is the nature of reality?
  
  What are human beings really like?
  
  What is special about the human mind and consciousness?
  
  Are we free to choose who we are and what we do?
  
  Can we prove that God exists?
  
  Can we be certain about anything at all?
  
  What is truth?
  
  Does language provide us with a true picture of the world?
  
  How should we behave towards each other?
  
  Do computers think?
  Introducing Philosophy is a comprehensive graphic guide to the thinking of all the significant philosophers of the Western world from Heraclitus to Derrida. It examines and explains their key arguments and ideas without being obscure or solemn.

  "The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.  Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses."
