Flipping Brilliant by Jonathan Chester Pdf

The more you find out about penguins, the more they seem to have in common with another oddly endearing flightless biped. Namely, us. --Flipping Brilliant Think March of the Penguins meets Life's Little Instruction Book by way of National Geographic. Award-winning nature photographer Jonathan Chester captures the essence of the Antarctic's most popular residents to illustrate the similarities between penguins' lives and our own. Patrick Regan's clever narrative offers surprising insights and humorously entertaining life lessons. The appeal of penguins is undeniable and universal. And we can learn a lot from these fat, funny birds. Lessons like: * The meek sleep alone, * It's better to be smart than cute, and * You can be too thin. (After all, the book explains, if the Olsen twins ever get locked in a walk-in cooler for days and are forced to live off their own body fat, they're goners. Penguins? They're good for months.) Flipping Brilliant includes helpful environmental information about the penguin habitat and the effects of global warming, including Web sites that show how you can help.

MANDEM by Eddie Kwadjo Danso Pdf

The Japanese have the Yakuzas, the Italians have the Mafi a, the Chinese have the Triads and the Jamaicans have the Yardies. Brace yourself for London’s addition to gangsterism. They are slick, they enjoy the most expensive things in life and they walk around ‘strapped’. Not a lot of their vocabulary can be found in the Oxford dictionary and if smoking weed was an Olympic sport 95% of them would be walking around with the gold. Emerging from the inner cities of London; ladies and gentlemen, ballers and crawlers, pimps and pimpettes, playas and playettes; I present to you none other than the MANDEM.

The Fall of Autumn Leaves by Ronald A. Williams Pdf

Cameron Walkes is a Barbadian-born novelist who hasn’t sold anything for nearly a year when he is encouraged to write an autobiography. A reluctant Cameron knows he is facing many obstacles. What lessons could he teach? How could he explain the recurrent dreams that had gradually increased his stress? Despite his trepidation, Cameron writes the first words of his autobiography later that night. As his life story laboriously begins to take shape, Cameron traces his development from a poor fishing village in Barbados, through athletic and teaching careers, and finally to attain a role as president of an American college. While chronicling his pursuit of the American Dream, Cameron also details why he left academia to take up writing as a profession, and shares a glimpse into his mindset as his physical prowess declines, leaving him with no choice but to face his own mortality. But just as life comes full circle, fate intervenes and provides an unexpected ending to Cameron’s story. In this intriguing novel, a Barbadian immigrant who reluctantly begins penning his autobiography in an effort to boost his writing career embarks on a journey inward to reflect on his experiences.

An Old-Fashioned Christmas by Patrick Regan Pdf

Nothing captures the magic of Christmas like the drooling face of a child and a cheap-ass little fake tree." --An Old-Fashioned Christmas In the tradition of Holidays on Ice and Bad Santa, Patrick Regan counters saccharine seasonal sentiment with a dose of holiday-noir. Remember Christmases of old? Simpler times, when four-year-old orphans were used for market research and Santa could call a pretty elf "Sweet Cheeks" and not get slapped with a sexual harassment suit? In An Old-Fashioned Christmas, author Patrick Regan collects images from the golden days of Christmas and pairs them with wryly sardonic captions to offer a reminder of what Christmas is really all about-namely, "hobos, orphans, boozed-up Santas, pill-popping housewives, and the shattered dreams of adorable children." Fans of Regan's The Book of Bad Habits will take twisted delight in his skewering of the most cherished (and overstuffed) holiday of all. The 1940s, '50s, and '60s-vintage photos are odd enough on their own, but when Regan's caustic captions start flying, no tradition is safe from mockery. Christmas just ain't what it used to be, and judging from the subversive gems in this more naughty-than-nice book, we should all be extremely grateful for that.
