  Margaret Thatcher enthrals whenever she speaks. Her political career has spanned five decades and her influence on world politics is undeniable. From followers she inspires devotion; from detractors she induces unprecedented venom - but they listen all the same. Margaret Thatcher is the most quoted British political leader since Winston Churchill and in this unique collection Iain Dale and Grant Tucker have picked out her most memorable remarks. Never far from emitting a scathing rebuke she possesses a facility for the spoken word rivalled by few others. Some quotes are funny, many are inspirational, most are thoughtful - but they are all unforgettable. Alongside Margaret Thatcher's own words, the book contains many quotes from her political allies and opponents, as well as from foreign leaders who were often on the end of a good handbagging. On her resignation some said we would never see her like again. So far they have been proved right. With a talent for the perfect response, Maggie's whiplash tongue has ensured that her magnetism endures.

  Why Jury Duty Matters - A...

  An argument for the constitutional responsibility to participate in jury dutyIt’s easy to forget how important the jury really is to America.  The right to be a juror is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed to  all eligible citizens. The right to trial by jury helped spark the  American Revolution, was quickly adopted at the Constitutional  Convention, and is the only right that appears in both the Constitution  and the Bill of Rights. But for most of us, a jury summons is an  unwelcome inconvenience. Who has time for jury duty? We have things to  do.In Why Jury Duty Matters, Andrew Guthrie  Ferguson reminds us that whether we like it or not, we are all  constitutional actors. Jury duty provides an opportunity to reflect on  that constitutional responsibility. Combining American history,  constitutional law, and personal experience, the book engages citizens  in the deeper meaning of jury service. Interweaving constitutional  principles into the actual jury experience, this book is a handbook for  those Americans who want to enrich the jury experience. It seeks to  reconnect ordinary citizens to the constitutional character of a nation  by focusing on the important, and largely ignored, democratic lessons of  the jury.Jury duty is a shared American  tradition. It connects people across class and race, creates habits of  focus and purpose, and teaches values of participation, equality, and  deliberation. We know that juries are important for courts, but we don’t  know that jury service is important for democracy. This book inspires  us to re-examine the jury experience and act on the constitutional  principles that guide our country before, during, and after jury  service.

  Ulysses

  James Joyce

  Ulysses is a novel by James Joyce, first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2, 1922, in Paris. It is considered one of the most important works of Modernist literature 
  Ulysses chronicles the passage through Dublin by its main character, Leopold Bloom, during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. The title alludes to the hero of Homer's Odyssey (Latinised into Ulysses), and there are many parallels, both implicit and explicit, between the two works (e.g., the correspondences between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus). 
  Few first editions generate more excitement among traders in rare books than Ulysses. Since the novel's debut, many experts have reinterpreted surviving drafts to produce revised texts, but this edition remains the one that Joyce himself reviewed and corrected prior to the initial publication. Thus, this volume represents the version truest to the author's vision.

  Wise words from great minds: “Revisit this colorful read whenever you need a pick-me-up—or a push—to get out there and make the most of your day.” —Real Simple   A quote book like no other, this thought-provoking collection compiles the timeless wisdom of great original minds— from Marie Curie to Stephen King, Joan of Arc to Jack Kerouac, Oscar Wilde to Harriet Tubman—brilliantly hand-lettered by beloved indie artist Lisa Congdon. You’ll find enlightening insights (“Wisdom begins in wonder”— Socrates), stirring calls to action (“Leap and the net will appear”—John Burroughs), and stimulating encouragements (“Be curious, not judgmental”—Walt Whitman) beautifully illuminated on every page. A delightful reminder to make the most of life, Whatever You Are, Be a Good One is perfect for recent graduates, creative thinkers, and anyone looking for a little inspiration.   “An impossibly charming compendium . . . The common thread underpinning these quotes—which include such beloved luminaries as Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry James, Anne Lamott, Soren Kierkegaard, and Leo Tolstoy—is Congdon’s own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being.” —Brain Pickings
