The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday Spirits By Les Standiford ABEE
__



About:
__

As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how one writer and one book revived the signal holiday of the Western world.

Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist.

The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all.

With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.

The Lowland [Unabridged] By Jhumpa Lahiri ABEE
___



About:
__

National Book Award Finalist

Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author of The Namesake comes an extraordinary new novel, set in both India and America, that expands the scope and range of one of our most dazzling storytellers: a tale of two brothers bound by tragedy, a fiercely brilliant woman haunted by her past, a country torn by revolution, and a love that lasts long past death.

Born just fifteen months apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable brothers, one often mistaken for the other in the Calcutta neighborhood where they grow up. But they are also opposites, with gravely different futures ahead. It is the 1960s, and UdayanΓÇöcharismatic and impulsiveΓÇöfinds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty; he will give everything, risk all, for what he believes. Subhash, the dutiful son, does not share his brotherΓÇÖs political passion; he leaves home to pursue a life of scientific research in a quiet, coastal corner of America.

But when Subhash learns what happened to his brother in the lowland outside their familyΓÇÖs home, he goes back to India, hoping to pick up the pieces of a shattered family, and to heal the wounds Udayan left behindΓÇöincluding those seared in the heart of his brotherΓÇÖs wife.

Masterly suspenseful, sweeping, piercingly intimate, The Lowland is a work of great beauty and complex emotion; an engrossing family saga and a story steeped in history that spans generations and geographies with seamless authenticity. It is Jhumpa Lahiri at the height of her considerable powers.

The Man With Two Left Feet and Other Stories By P. G. Wodehouse ABEE
__



About:
__

"The Man With Two Left Feet, and Other Stories" is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom in 1917 by Methuen & Co., London. Many of the stories had previously appeared in the Strand in the UK and the Saturday Evening Post in the U.S.

Most of the stories concern relationships, sports and household pets. None feature any of Wodehouse's regular characters. "Extricating Young Gussie" marks the first appearance of some of Wodehouse's most well-known and beloved characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although here Bertie's surname appears to be Mannering-Phipps, and Jeeves' role is very small), along with Bertie's fearsome Aunt Agatha.

The Only Way To Win By Jim Loehr ABEE
__



About:
__

Why Winning with Character Is the Only Way to Win

The conditioning begins early in our lives. Great achievements will bring lasting happiness and fulfillment; great achievements form the bedrock of stable self-esteem and strong character; great achievements will become the foundation for a successful life. If these well-intentioned promises are true, why does winning never seem to be enough?

In The Only Way to Win, Jim Loehr draws upon two decades of work with Fortune 500 executives; world-class athletes such as Monica Seles, Dan Jansen, and Eric Lindros; and other high achievers at the Human Performance Institute (HPI) to reveal surprising insights about achievement motivation. Specifically, Loehr finds that the blind pursuit of external achievement often results in emptiness, addiction, and, ironically, poor performance. It's not really about what you achieve, he argues, it's about who you become as a consequence of the chase.

As Loehr powerfully demonstrates, success at work and fulfillment in life require a complete re-purposing of achievement, one where value is derived from growth in areas such as integrity, honesty, gratefulness, humility, optimism, and compassion. To help readers start this process, he provides them with the tools they need to develop these character traits, as well as the plan they need to use them effectively.

A compelling, practical, and hopeful read filled with relatable stories and useful exercises, The Only Way to Win will serve as a powerful wake-up call for business leaders, employees, teachers, and coaches. It will also provide inspiration for readers looking to perform better, achieve more, and change both their own lives and those of the people they influence. Jim Loehr is a world-renowned performance psychologist, co-founder of the Human Performance Institute, and author of fifteen books, including his most recent, The Power of Story. He also co-authored the national bestseller The Power of Full Engagement.

Charles Dickens' Christmas Collection [Jerry Robbins] ABEE
___



About:
__

Charles Dickens wrote many books and short stories about Christmas.
Here, along with his most famous work, "A Christmas Carol," are the best.


A Christmas Carol

You've seen the movie, and read the book ... but
'A Christmas carol" comes to vivid life as never before - in your imagination!
With lush music, wonderful performances, and lots of holiday cheer -
the Colonial Radio Theatre's production of this great classic will enchant
you and yours for years to come.

The Chimes

High up in the steeple, where spiders spin their castles in
the air, the spirits of the bells appear and take Toby Veck on a New Years
Eve journey where he discovers all he has to be greatful for.

The Cricket On The Hearth. (A fairy tale of home)

Does the cricket who sits
and chirps from the hearth of John and Dot Peerybingle have some supernatural
powers? Does he restore faith and overcome suspicion? Does he give hope to a
poor blind girl? This Dickens masterpiece is effused with the spirit of the season.

The Seven Poor Travellers

On Christmas Eve, a traveling gentleman happens upon a
house in a quaint little village, which houses up to six travelers each evening. He
decides to treat them all to a Christmas dinner, and tells them a story around the
fireplace - of a soldier who finds the true meaning of forgiveness and redemption.
A sparkling holiday gem from the great Charles Dickens.

Clothing Gandhi's Nation: Homespun and Modern India By Lisa N Trivedi ABEE
__


__

About:
__

In Clothing Gandhi's Nation, Lisa Trivedi explores the making of one of modern India's most enduring political symbols, khadi: a homespun, home-woven cloth. The image of Mohandas K. Gandhi clothed simply in a loincloth and plying a spinning wheel is familiar around the world, as is the sight of Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and other political leaders dressed in "Gandhi caps" and khadi shirts. Less widely understood is how these images associate the wearers with the swadeshi movement--which advocated the exclusive consumption of indigenous goods to establish India's autonomy from Great Britain--or how khadi was used to create a visual expression of national identity after Independence. Trivedi brings together social history and the study of visual culture to account for khadi as both symbol and commodity. Written in a clear narrative style, the book provides a cultural history of important and distinctive aspects of modern Indian history.

America's Great Game - The CIA’s Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East By Hugh Wilford ABEE
__



About:
__

From the 9/11 attacks to waterboarding to drone strikes, relations between the United States and the Middle East seem caught in a downward spiral. And all too often, the Central Intelligence Agency has made the situation worse. But this crisis was not a historical inevitability—far from it. Indeed, the earliest generation of CIA operatives was actually the region’s staunchest western ally.

In America’s Great Game, celebrated intelligence historian Hugh Wilford reveals the surprising history of the CIA’s pro-Arab operations in the 1940s and 50s by tracing the work of the agency’s three most influential—and colorful—officers in the Middle East. Kermit “Kim” Roosevelt was the grandson of Theodore Roosevelt and the first head of CIA covert action in the region; his cousin, Archie Roosevelt, was a Middle East scholar and chief of the Beirut station. The two Roosevelts joined combined forces with Miles Copeland, a maverick covert operations specialist who had joined the American intelligence establishment during World War II. With their deep knowledge of Middle Eastern affairs, the three men were heirs to an American missionary tradition that engaged Arabs and Muslims with respect and empathy. Yet they were also fascinated by imperial intrigue, and were eager to play a modern rematch of the “Great Game,” the nineteenth-century struggle between Britain and Russia for control over central Asia. Despite their good intentions, these “Arabists” propped up authoritarian regimes, attempted secretly to sway public opinion in America against support for the new state of Israel, and staged coups that irrevocably destabilized the nations with which they empathized. Their efforts, and ultimate failure, would shape the course of U.S.–Middle Eastern relations for decades to come.

Based on a vast array of declassified government records, private papers, and personal interviews, America’s Great Game tells the riveting story of the merry band of CIA officers whose spy games forever changed U.S. foreign policy.

Gone Girl By Gillian Flynn ABEE
__



About:
__

Marriage can be a real killer.
One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work ΓÇ£draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction.ΓÇ¥ Gone GirlΓÇÖs toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy DunneΓÇÖs fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when NickΓÇÖs clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isnΓÇÖt doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wifeΓÇÖs head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the mediaΓÇöas well as AmyΓÇÖs fiercely doting parentsΓÇöthe town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and heΓÇÖs definitely bitterΓÇöbut is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didnΓÇÖt do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

One Summer America, 1927 By Bill Bryson ABEE
__


__

About:
__

In One Summer Bill Bryson, one of our greatest and most beloved nonfiction writers, transports readers on a journey back to one amazing season in American life.

The summer of 1927 began with one of the signature events of the twentieth century: on May 21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first man to cross the Atlantic by plane nonstop, and when he landed in Le Bourget airfield near Paris, he ignited an explosion of worldwide rapture and instantly became the most famous person on the planet. Meanwhile, the titanically talented Babe Ruth was beginning his assault on the home run record, which would culminate on September 30 with his sixtieth blast, one of the most resonant and durable records in sports history. In between those dates a Queens housewife named Ruth Snyder and her corset-salesman lover garroted her husband, leading to a murder trial that became a huge tabloid sensation. Alvin ΓÇ£ShipwreckΓÇ¥ Kelly sat atop a flagpole in Newark, New Jersey, for twelve daysΓÇöa new record. The American South was clobbered by unprecedented rain and by flooding of the Mississippi basin, a great human disaster, the relief efforts for which were guided by the uncannily able and insufferably pompous Herbert Hoover. Calvin Coolidge interrupted an already leisurely presidency for an even more relaxing three-month vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The gangster Al Capone tightened his grip on the illegal booze business through a gaudy and murderous reign of terror and municipal corruption. The first true ΓÇ£talking picture,ΓÇ¥ Al JolsonΓÇÖs The Jazz Singer, was filmed and forever changed the motion picture industry. The four most powerful central bankers on earth met in secret session on a Long Island estate and made a fateful decision that virtually guaranteed a future crash and depression.
All this and much, much more transpired in that epochal summer of 1927, and Bill Bryson captures its outsized personalities, exciting events, and occasional just plain weirdness with his trademark vividness, eye for telling detail, and delicious humor. In that year America stepped out onto the world stage as the main event, and One Summer transforms it all into narrative nonfiction of the highest order.

About:
__

The APPLE Computer is one of the world's most
popular computer systems. Its lightweight, desktop design
and powerful version of the BASIC programming language
place it at the forefront of the new wave of personal
computers for home, school and office.
Anything but a toy, its hardware configuration and
system software make it a highly useful tool in the business
environment and the classroom as weil as for practical jobs
around the home.
In fact, the system software is so flexible and versatile
that the need for this book became apparent. There are so
many computer tasks which can be accomplished with the
APPLE system that an introduction to the many techniques
is needed.
Software programs are what make a computer do what
you want. This book is written for those newcomers and
beginners, as weil as advanced novices and student
programmers, who would like to tap the vast resources
available in the APPLE computer package. This book, it is
hoped, will guide and instruct and provide insights into the
many ways the BASIC language built into the APPLE
computer can be put to use.
This book is a companion volume to 33 New APPLE
Computer Programs for Home, School & Office.
