  The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

  Writer Career Paths - 9 Ways To...

  "There are only three career paths to make money as a writer. Work at a magazine or newspaper. Work in advertising. Or work at a coffee shop by day and on your novel at night." 
  That was the advice Nicolas Cole's college professor gave him upon graduating with a degree in creative writing in 2013. 
  But he didn't listen. 
  Over the past 10+ years, Nicolas Cole has generated more than $30 million as a writer by proving that writing can be monetized across a wide variety of business models, industries, and platforms. He has generated over $1 million monetizing his writing with SaaS, over $2 million with paid newsletters, over $5 million as a Ghostwriter, and over $10 million with high-ticket coaching programs. All by leveraging the same fundamental skill: the ability to write words people want to read. 
  So, can you make money writing? 
  Yes, but the career path you choose determines your earning potential. 
  That’s why some writers make millions of dollars per year, while others struggle to pay rent. Why Literary Fiction Writers win prestigious awards but live modest lives, while Genre Fiction Writers (who are often ridiculed by the literary elite) earn 10x, even 100x more. And why most writing programs fail to teach students the single most important skill: how to monetize your writing. 
  In this book, you will learn: 
  - The 9 Writer Career Paths, the writing skills you need to master each one, and which careers promise the highest earning potential.  
  - What authors Colleen Hoover, Stephen King, and George Saunders all have in common, and why understanding the business model behind a writer’s career is more valuable than writing advice. 
  - The #1 mistake aspiring writers make when trying to build a writing career, the difference between writing for status versus writing for money, and how to sequence your career accordingly.

  Your Best Friend - And Other Essays

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 90 by M. B. Werapitiya, Your Best Friend: And Other Essays, narrated by Tejendra Patel. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. III. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 90 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
   
  Excerpt:
   
  "To understand ourselves, we must live with ourselves and know all about ourselves. The mind for that matter is flickering, fickle, difficult to guard and control and flutters like a fish taken out of its watery abode and thrown upon the land. Somebody causes you hurt and although the aggressor has disappeared from sight, the hurt grows within you and every so often keeps surfacing with an overpowering intensity to give you a warp. Then again, you see something that has captured your attention and your mind has instantly photographed it from every conceivable angle with a see-through lens, developed it in your mental dark-room, brought out the prints and enlargements with the skill of an expert cameraman and processor rolled into one. Similarly, all the sense faculties and the mind are of high sensitivity and respond to anything and everything exciting. If the degree of excitement is not sufficiently satisfying, you step it up with the use of drugs, intoxicants and poisons. This activity goes on unabated and makes of you a human derelict. A wise person living in his mind protects himself holding himself dear. Such a person whose senses are subdued, whose pride is destroyed and is free from corruptions, is calm of mind, speech and action and rightly knows, and is perfectly peaceful and equipoised."

  Thou Art Alive! - Shakespeare...

  Written in two parts in an accessible, conversational style, this book is more than a ‘how-to’ primer on the cue-script method: how Shakespeare and his actors staged his plays with minimal to no full company rehearsal.  In Part 2, the author (a professional actor, director and academic researcher) expands upon how she has used this approach to Shakespeare herself and, as a result, made some ground-breaking discoveries. 
   
  For those listeners who may be unfamiliar with cue-scripts, and to bring the text to life, through performance, this edition, first published in print and e-book format in 2017, has been specially rewritten, updated and adapted for audio. The word on the page being, of course, vital to the process, the audiobook comes with a free, downloadable pdf and the updated version is also available in print and as an e-book."  A lifelong dedication to the theatre arts and a personal vow to help keep theatre alive, inspired its title. But of course it was Ben Johnson who said it first: “Thou art alive while thy book doth live.” Thy book being, of course, The first Folio (1623).  The insights provided in this book, as well as in the other books you'll find recommended in its bibliography, confirm just how authoritative the First Folio (1623) really is. 
   
  To anyone who finds this book useful, may you feel inspired to verify, refine and expand upon this work and, in turn, share your findings with you own audience, readers, students and colleagues.  The modest number of personal, new and surprising insights it has been possible to include in this slim volume is suggestive of many more to come.

  Nuts and Bolts - Seven Small...

  A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
   
   
   
  Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
   
   
   
  From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.
