  A Masterful Revenge - The...

  The villain’s a poet, the weapon is verse, and the whole world’s a stage. 
  The Ar’dath-Irr’s final act is nearly complete — and the applause will be apocalyptic. 
  Oscar Teabag-Dooven, once a Velvet Paw, is all that stands between a fractured universe and total obliteration. 
  But Oscar wanted to be a poet, not a hero, not a destroyer, and certainly not the most loathed animal on the planet. After his avant-garde recital triggers mass death, suspicious reincarnations and catastrophic misunderstandings involving curry, he’s the only one left to blame. 
  With his reputation in ruins and a war effort rising, Oscar and a huge cast must navigate a broken world filled with inverted corpses, bureaucratic panic and a vengeful poet-dog whose power defies life itself. Revenge seems like the only reasonable response. But in a world where hugs are abolished and poetry causes mass casualties, reason is a dangerous thing. 
  Joined by armies and navies orchestrated under Operation Fluffy Cloud, Oscar must confront his greatest fear: that this entire war might just be about him. 
  This is the climax of the Morigan Tetralogy: where poetry bends worlds and the end of everything smells faintly of cinnamon and petrol.

  Cat Tales - A History

  Feared, revered, respected, and beloved, cats have left an indelible paw print on the histories and civilizations of humankind. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of today's furry friends were predators, not pets. 
   
  Leading anthropologist Jerry Moore charts the cat's path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate. Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies, and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries. 
   
  This book surveys our relationships with cats from the Paleolithic period to the present day, unlocking the mysteries of these remarkable creatures. While cats are now beloved members of families around the world, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher, and Roy Horn. From incredible archaeological finds to cave paintings, and from classical statues to contemporary social media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple question: who domesticated who?

  The Wasps

  Aristophanes

  In The Wasps, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes delivers a sharp and humorous critique of Athenian society, focusing on the jury system and the older generation’s obsession with power. The play centers on Philocleon ("Cleon-lover"), an elderly man addicted to serving as a juror—and thus indirectly supporting the corrupt politician Cleon—whom his son Bdelycleon tries to reform and keep at home. Much of the comedy arises from the absurd clash between father and son, including a farcical courtroom trial of a dog accused of theft. Through satire, slapstick, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes mocks the judicial system’s susceptibility to abuse, the gullibility of jurors, and the challenges of generational conflict. Combining humor with incisive political criticism, The Wasps remains a brilliant reflection on justice, civic duty, and the folly of blind loyalty.

  A Dock. 
  A Dog. 
  A Doctor. 
  A Destiny. 
  A Divine Calling. 
  Dr. Patrick McLaughlin's life was moving fast, with his dreams and goals on track. Married, raising four kids, serving patients, growing fifty side businesses, and trying to keep up with a full and sometimes chaotic life. 
  Then one day, on his coastal North Carolina dock, his world was upended. 
  With his life suddenly turned upside down, it took his favorite dog, Bear, to remind him of what was important: to live a full life each and every day. What McLaughlin found through this life transformation, was that these principles were universal in not only every dog, but in every person that he knew who lives with purpose. 
  A lifelong personal development learner, McLaughlin meshed these life lessons learned from Bear and powerful books, to reveal The Bear Facts of Life. 
  Dr. McLaughlin and his favorite Goldendoodle dog, Bear, take you through these "facts of life" to give the reader a roadmap to what matters most in life. All dogs show these traits each and every day, if we will only take the time to recognize and observe. The Bear Facts of Life serve as invaluable daily reminders to what really matters in this short time we have on Earth.
