Book SynopsisThe surely soon-to-be million-copy bestselling sort-of inspirational parody..A timeless parody of Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.Enter the world of me, Panda, plus my sometime-friends Cat and Teddy. You will find us living our best lives, trying (and occasionally succeeding) to be kind to each other. The cat is quite nice but can be a little bit selfish. Teddy can come across as very nice, with his squeaky voice and looking so tiny and helpless. But I must warn you, Teddy can be a vicious little backstabber, actually.This is a book of nice illustrations and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of inspiration. Like:Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean you're failing But it might do.'Nothing beats kindness,' said the cat. Gin does', said Panda.If you don't stop saying inspirational things to me, I'm going to punch you up the hooter.'You OK, hun?' asked Panda, but he was just taking the piss.We're just so, so lucky to have each other Trade Review‘I laughed my b*llocks off.’ – Dave Myers from the Hairy Bikers ‘A funny, cynical man and a lovely artist’ – Neil Gaiman ‘Very funny… Catches the mood of the times.’ – Steven Moffat, writer and producer of TV’s Sherlock and Doctor Who. ‘The gentle and reassuring traditions of classic children’s books lovingly observed, and then gleefully profaned. Are you sitting comfortably? Well, that was probably your first mistake.’Dan Abnett, writer of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic books ‘Lovely!… There is just something very funny about cuddly toys swearing. Very cheering!’Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love ‘If you like inspirational messages, see hope in the eyes of a toy, and dream of a better world, then you're an idiot. Buy this fantastic book and BE MORE PANDA.’David Quantick, comedy writer of The Thick of It, Veep and TV Burp 'I love this book!

HarperCollins Publishers Inc I Never Metaphor I Didnt Like
Book Synopsis The murals in restaurants are on a par with the food in museums. America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. Critics are like pigs at the pastry cart. Describing something by relating it to another thing is the essence of metaphorical thought. It is one of the oldest activities of humankind—and one of the most impressive when done skillfully. Throughout history, many masters of metaphor have crafted observations that are so spectacular they have taken up a permanent residence in our minds. In I Never Metaphor I Didn''t Like, quotation maven Dr. Mardy Grothe fixes his attention on the three superstars of figurative language—analogies, metaphors, and similes. The result is an extraordinary compilation of nearly 2,000 feats of association that will entertain, educate, and occasionally inspire quotation lovers everywhere.In this intellectual smorgasbord, the author of Oxymoronica and Viva la Repartee explains figurative language in a refreshingly down-to-earth way before taking readers on a tour of history''s greatest word pictures. In chapters on wit, love, sex, stage and screen, insults, politics, sports, and more, you will find quotations from Aristotle and Maya Angelou to George Washington and Oprah Winfrey.

Bodleian Library Alice in Wonderland Journal - 'Too Late,' said
Book SynopsisInvented to entertain Alice Liddell on boat-trips down the river Thames in Oxford, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has become one of the most famous and influential works of children’s literature of all time. It is hard to imagine Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland without picturing the illustrations made by Sir John Tenniel for the first edition of the story. Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) was the principal satirical cartoonist for Punch magazine for over fifty years and much in demand as an illustrator in Victorian Britain. At Lewis Carroll’s request, he illustrated the first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published by Macmillan in 1865. In 1889, he made coloured versions of the drawings for The Nursery Alice, an adaptation of the story created especially for 0-5 year-olds. Ten years later, Gertrude E. Thompson modified Tenniel’s illustrations for a card entitled ‘The New and Diverting Game of Alice in Wonderland’. These unforgettable illustrations, including the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle and the Queen of Hearts, among many others, are featured in these special journals. Beautifully produced in hardback with lined paper, coloured page edges, ribbon marker and printed endpapers, this Alice in Wonderland journal is the perfect gift for Wonderland fans.

Duke University Press The Body Multiple
Book SynopsisDrawing on fieldwork in a Dutch university hospital, this title looks at the day-to-day diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. It focuses on medical anthropology, sociology, feminist theory, philosophy, and science and technology studies to reframe such issues as the disease-illness distinction, subject-object relations, and boundaries.Trade Review“The Body Multiple is a magnificent achievement. Annemarie Mol deftly reveals in compelling language how ontologies are not transcendent but are brought about in practice. Focusing on the body and disease, her ethnography of the manipulation of knowledge, and not the objects of knowledge, forces us to comprehend reality as multiple. This book will, without doubt, move the philosophy and anthropology of medicine to new heights.”—Margaret Lock, McGill University“The Body Multiple is compelling, wonderfully and sometimes slyly well-written, and full of innovative insights into ‘actually existing medical practice.’ Mol’s parallel text is well-placed intellectually in relation to her primary research text on atherosclerosis, and it provides a powerful teaching tool on how to think through and with science studies literatures when conducting an empirical project.”—Rayna Rapp, New York UniversityTable of ContentsPreface vii 1.

Amber Books Ltd The Art of War Illustrated
Book SynopsisIf you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win numerous battles without a single loss. – Sun Tzu, The Art of War Written in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is still used as a book of military strategy today. Napoleon, Mae Zedong and Douglas MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. And beyond the world of war, modern-era business and management gurus have also applied Sun Tzu’s ideas to politics and corporate strategy. This illustrated dual-language edition not only presents the original Chinese characters with James Trapp’s translation on the facing page, it also tests Sun Tzu’s ideas against history. Each of the 13 chapters includes a new commentary giving examples of how Sun Tzu’s wisdom has been borne out on the world’s battlefields. When, for example, has information provided by spies changed the course of a battle? How has history shown Sun Tzu’s ideas on the importance of terrain in conflict to be true? And where can we best find examples of strategic warfare being waged? From the ancient world to the 20th century, the battles featured will be illustrated with colour battle maps, paintings and artworks. Of immense influence to leaders across millennia, The Art of War Illustrated is a classic text richly deserving this illustrated and expanded dual-language edition.Table of ContentsIntroduction Planning Case study: Sicily, 1943, by Kevin Dougherty Waging War Case study: Zama, 202 BCE, by Ralph Ashby Strategic Offence Case study: Granicus, 334 BCE, by Miles Doleac Deployment Case study: Gulf War, 1991, by Stephen Hart Momentum Case study: Vistula–Oder Offensive, 1945, by Stephen Hart The Substantial and the Insubstantial Case study: Somalia, 1993, by Kevin Dougherty Manoeuvres against the Enemy Case study: Mohi, 1241, by Stephen Turnbull The Nine Variables Case study: Mobei, 119 BCE, by Ralph Ashby On the March Case study: Jena–Auerstädt, 1806, by Frederick C.
