Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases by Bartlett Jere Whiting Pdf

p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."

A Bed of Thorns and Roses by Sondra Carr Pdf

A Beauty and the Beast tale set during America's Gilded Age "I may be a monster, Miss Tate, but I am not a beast." His new secretary looked unconvinced. How could he blame her? His mask had her trembling like a frightened rabbit. Yet what lay beneath was far worse. The sight of his face had already killed one young woman. He well understood Miss Tate's fear. If only she understood his. Because as disturbing as she found his gruesome appearance, he was far more terrified of her beauty. Heir to a wealthy robber baron, Jonathan Nashe had every advantage money could buy until a tragic fire left him horribly disfigured. Now he lives secluded in his isolated country mansion, his scientific research his only solace. When declining health threatens to rob him of even this small comfort, Jonathan is forced to choose between his work and his privacy. Reluctantly, he hires a secretary. Though distasteful, sacrificing his privacy soon proves the least of his concerns; he never expected to sacrifice his heart as well.But Isabelle Tate guards the secrets of her past as vigilantly as Jonathan hides the scars beneath his mask. Can they confess their growing love for one another knowing that to bare their deepest feelings, they must also bare their deepest shame?

Thank You, Depression by Pramod Shanker Soni Pdf

Thank you, Depression! ‘Life is not always a bed of roses or a bed of thorns, it’s a bed of roses filled with thorns.’ All of us are human and have feelings and emotions. It’s absolutely normal to feel happy, sad, gloomy or hurt according to the circumstances around us at any given time. Drawing from his own, harrowing, real-life experience, and aided with meticulous research, the author has created an inspiring and compelling narrative of how one’s own grit and determination, and proper support from others can turn a debilitating, destructive condition like depression into an uplifting gift, so much so that he can graciously even thank it for changing his life for the better forever! An easy to understand account that even the most depressed person can focus on, it busts widely prevalent myths and doubts about the condition. It reiterates the important fact that depression is very much treatable through modern medicines and different self-help approaches now available, along with proper professional counselling and unconditional support from loved ones. Importantly, it shows that those who take full treatment can recover completely and lead happy, blissful and contented lives once again. Advising against self-diagnosis or resorting to so-called god-men or tantrics for exorcism or other senseless rituals, the author emphasizes that professional help is the only right way to go, the book comprehensively covers every aspect that anyone would ever want to know about the subject. You will be astonished to know that about 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. India is amongst the most affected countries, with around 36 per cent of Indians suffering from major depression at some point in their lives.The World Health Organization says depression is a leading cause of disability, and that hardly one-third of sufferers seek treatment. If not treated, depression is immensely painful and disabling, and can even lead to suicide. This book will help you learn:  What depression is, its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis.  Different treatment plans and options, various coping methods and strategies.  Combinations of modern psychotherapy and medication that are effective.  How Homoeopathy, Ayurveda, pranayama, yoga, herbal therapy, alternative therapies and mood-boosting foods can help.  Inspiring true accounts, motivational success stories and inspiring quotes from well-known people who have experienced depression.

Doomed by Cartoon by John Adler,Draper Hill Pdf

This volume is a collection of political cartoons by Thomas Nast that brought Boss Tweed to justice. The legendary Boss Tweed effectively controlled New York City from after the Civil War until his downfall in November 1871. A huge man, he and his Ring of Thieves appeared to be invincible as they stole an estimated $2 billion in today's dollars. In addition to the New York City and state governments, the Tweed Ring controlled the press except for Harper's Weekly. Short and slight Thomas Nast was the most dominant American political cartoonist of all time; using his pen as his sling in Harper's Weekly, he attacked Tweed almost single-handily, before The New-York Times joined the battle in 1870. The author focuses on the circumstances and events as Thomas Nast visualized them in his 160-plus cartoons, almost like a serialized but intermittent comic book covering 1866 through 1878.

The Care and Handling of Roses With Thorns by Margaret Dilloway Pdf

Winner of the ALA Reading List Award Difficult and obstinate. Thriving under a set of specific and limited conditions. That pretty much describes me. Maybe that’s why I like these roses so much. Roses are Galilee Garner’s passion. An amateur breeder, she painstakingly cross-pollinates her plants to coax out new, better traits, striving to create a perfect strain of her favorite flower, the Hulthemia. Her dream is to win a major rose competition and one day have her version of the bloom sold in the commercial market. Gal carefully calibrates the rest of her time to manage the kidney failure she’s had since childhood, going to dialysis every other night, and teaching high school biology, where she is known for her exacting standards. The routine leaves little room for relationships, and Gal prefers it that way. Her roses never disappoint her the way people have. Then one afternoon, Riley, the teenaged daughter of Gal’s estranged sister, arrives unannounced to live with her, turning Gal’s orderly existence upside down. Suddenly forced to adjust to each other’s worlds, both will discover a resilience they never knew they had and a bond they never knew they needed.
