It's Magic, You Dope - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: CHAPTER 1IT was the same two guys. I spotted them standing down at the end of the dark street, just beyond thecone of light cast by the street lamp. They were pretending to be neighborhood people, carrying on acasual conversation on the corner, but I knew they were the same guys I'd seen standing outside thelibrary when I'd left it a half hour before, in downtown Chicago.I was quite curious, but lacked the nerve to approach them and ask what they wanted. They might wantmy wallet and watch, and then where'd I be? So I just slammed the door of my sedan, and started up thewalk toward Susan's house, pretending I hadn't noticed them. I wished there were more people out ontheir porches, but the autumn evenings had been turning colder, and hardly anyone came out.I rang the bell of the two-story bungalow where Susan lived with her folks, and was reassured to hearthe sound of footsteps coming to answer the chimes. Mrs. Baker, Susan's mother, opened the door."Hello, Al,” she said. “Susan'll be down in a minute. Here, let me take your hat.” She rambled throughsome more mother-greeting-suitor talk, and I finally wound up in the living room, sitting in the centerof the sofa, alone, while Mr. Baker, Susan's father, puffed at his pipe and tried to engage me in lightconversation on the subject of burglary. Garvey Baker was the night-watchman at the Marshall Field'sstore up near Lake Street in Oak Park. He was usually about to go out to work about the time I showedup to see Susan. It helped.As long as we were on the subject of crime, I mentioned those two guys who seemed to have followedme from the Loop. Mr. Baker laughed. “You've been reading too many mystery books,” he said with aninfuriatingly paternal smile."Yes, sir,” I said, anxiously awaiting the moment when he would lift his gold watch from his vestpocket, say, “Well, better get down to the store before the thieves strip it bare,” and go. Mrs. Bakercame in with a tray."Thought you might like some cookies and lemonade,” she explained, setting the tray down on theendtable beside the sofa. I thanked her, and she laughed and went out into the kitchen again."Well,” said Garvey Baker, getting ponderously to his feet, and glancing at that gold watch. “I betterget on up to the store before the thieves strip it bare.” I was glad to hear the front door close behindhim. Then a light patter of feet on the hall stairs announced the arrival of Miss Susan Baker, and Ijumped gratefully to my feet...."Al,” she smiled, coming across the room to me, her hands outstretched to lightly grip mine."Hi, Susan,” I said, taking hold of her fingertips for that brief moment before she'd deftly tug them free."Do you like my dress?” she said, pirouetting. “Pop got it at his discount. Isn't it adorable?"I said it was, and she sat beside me on the sofa. Perhaps “beside” is too strong. It was a three-seater; sheand I filled the one and three cushions."Your mother made lemonade for us,” I said. “Here it is, on the tray.""Oh, how nice!” said Susan, her eyes dancing. “Wasn't that nice of Mom, Al?"I said it was, and we sat a while longer. Then, getting up a little courage, I turned to her and said,“Would you like some?""Oh, please,” said Susan, brightly.I arose and poured out two glasses of lemonade, gave one to her, and sat back with the other, on thetwo-cushion.
Hidden Power: What You Need to Know to Save Our Democracy (Bk Currents) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: America has been run as a corporate regime for several years -- a merger of big business and government that makes profits more important than human rights and erodes the democratic tradition. Costly wars abroad, a national debt that grows exponentially year after year, and the inability to deliver stable work and essential social services are undermining the legitimacy of the regime -- opening the door to a new period of regime change. Today, new grass roots progressive movements are mobilizing, becoming a catalyst for change. In "Hidden Power, author Charles Derber shows how these movements can transform the political landscape, breaking the Democratic party out of its corporate shell and moving it toward a new unifying vision of how to create real democracy in a world run by big money.
Were You Raised by Wolves?: Clues to the Mysteries of Adulthood - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: It used to be that young people were let loose upon a grateful world with a modicum of social skill and the basic know-how to run a household. But such fundamental competence at the tasks of life seems to be rarer every day. How did we get to this pass? Should Mum not have done your homework? Should Dad have made Tiffany take that summer job instead of paying for her round the world trip? Perhaps. But what we really want to know is, what can we do about it? Why are so-called adults often unable to make their beds and clean up their own kitchens? They may even have jobs and apartments but why are they still relying on their doting parents to manage major details of their lives for them?In "Raised by Wolves", Christie Mellor lovingly offers a handbook full of advice and gentle verbal spankings that will send them off into the real world. She explains how to RSVP, clean a bathroom, behave in a restaurant, be a good party guest, and much, much more. It presents the things every adult needs to know in order to get through life without alienating every person they meet. This hilarious compendium includes information in a wealth of categories, including: how to poach a chicken (and what to do with it when you're done); how to make the perfect martini; 25 amazing uses for baking soda; how not to annoy your friends when you break up with your boyfriend; 10 common work situations, what you think they mean, and what they really mean; and, how to go a day without spending any money (and why you should, once in a while). Mellor's trademark arch, witty style makes even the most pointed advice palatable. If only we'd all had a book like this when we were young!

It's Not All in Your Head: How Worrying about Your Health Could Be Making You Sick--and What You Can Do about It - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Where do you go for help when no one believes you're really sick? The doctors can’t explain your symptoms, but you know there’s something wrong because you can sense it in your body. Living with the specter of an unresolved health issue isn't just painful, it's isolating. The preoccupation and stress it causes can disrupt your career or interfere with personal relationships. If you continually experience symptoms of illness, or worry a lot about disease, you may be suffering from health anxiety--a condition that can produce physical effects of its own, including muscle tension, nausea, and a quickened heart rate. In this compassionate and empowering book, noted psychologists Gordon J. G. Asmundson and Steven Taylor provide simple and accurate self-tests designed to help you understand health anxiety and the role it might be playing in how you feel. Concrete examples and helpful exercises show you how to change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to the aches, pains, and anxiety you're experiencing. The authors also explain how to involve friends and family--and when to seek professional help--as you learn to stay well without worry.
