An exasperated hare and plucky squirrel engage in a battle of wits to determine who’s who in this hilarious author-illustrator debut for fans of I Yam a Donkey and Grumpy Monkey. When a chipmunk mistakes Hare for a rabbit, Hare puts him in his place. But actually, the chipmunk is a SQUIRREL. Or so he says. Ever wondered about the difference between a turtle and a tortoise? Or a sheep and goat? So have Rabbit and Chipmunk—er, Hare and Squirrel! This hilarious look at dynamic duos in the animal kingdom pokes fun at the lookalike animals we all love, while delivering a gentle lesson on appreciating differences and standing up for what you know to be true about yourself.
The author, a computer science professor diagnosed with terminal cancer, explores his life, the lessons that he has learned, how he has worked to achieve his childhood dreams, and the effect of his diagnosis on him and his family.
As with John O'Loughlin's previous title, Keys to the Kingdom of Truth, this new work tends to utilize both aphorisms discursively and maxims sequentially in a kind of compromise between contrasting approaches to his writing, the one more literary and the other more technical, with some material of an autobiographical nature included for good measure, as also in an attempt to clarify his situation as a self-styled intellectual whose 'journey' to a well-nigh definitive realization of his thinking did not happen overnight or without considerable effort both personally and vis-a-vis whatever obstacles domestic and/or environmental circumstances may have thrown in his way. Nevertheless, the intellectual adventure somehow continued, and one is relieved to say it has eventually attained to something of a culmination beyond which further progress in this regard would be virtually impossible, given the conclusive nature of, in particular, so many of the maxims, whose sequentially comprehensive structures matured only gradually but nonetheless cumulatively to a point from which it should be possible for their author to leave off journeying, having reached his adventure's end in what must surely be the most logically definitive philosophy imaginable, if not – dare one say it? - ever, the form of which – if there is such a thing – follows from the content and not vice versa, which makes, so Mr O'Loughlin would contend, for a certain contentment with the overall results.
Combining three earlier sets of the poet's work, this collection allows readers to follow along in his journey through life's rites of passage across an eighteen-year span during which his experiences profoundly affected his writings. Original.

In So There’s a Sibling, a mother explains to her young child that a new baby is on the way, touching on the worries and excitement of growing a family. What if you cry? What if you fight? How will we handle being up through the night? With all these thoughts, is it meant to be? Will I love you both equally? Honest, heartfelt, and ultimately reassuring, this book explores the journey of adding a new sibling, helping remind young readers that love doesn’t divide but only multiplies as a family grows.
This book is a collection of my all-time favorite stories from working with patients as a medical professional over the past seventeen years. I have witnessed and been a part of some amazing experiences ranging from hilarious to shocking to just plain disgusting. I've told these stories many times at family gatherings, parties, and in conversations with friends. After much encouragement, I took the time to write them down before they became distant memories. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to a specific incident, which should give the reader an inside look into the often entertaining world of a health care provider. The names, of course, have been changed to protect the innocent, but I didn't leave out or alter any of the colorful details.
"There Is So Much More" is about discovering the wealth of God's love through the power of the Holy Spirit. Readers are invited to journey with Mary Ellen as she searches for the ability to love God, to love herself, and to love others.
The history of humanity has only just begun. The Neolithic Revolution may have endowed us with unparalleled means of communication, subsistence, and knowledge acquisition. However, it is clear in today’s world that inequality, power hierarchies, and violence persist on a greater scale than ever before. In these two lectures, delivered to the large number of young people who gathered in the Lycée Henri-IV and the École nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris to hear him speak, Alain Badiou argues that we are still firmly rooted in the Neolithic era, subjugated by the structures of political power – property, family, and state. He calls for a second revolution to restore to each person their freedom and agency. Through an analysis of recent attempts at political organisation, including the Arab Spring, Occupy, and Nuit debout, Badiou shows that progress toward this goal will only be achieved through an emphasis on sameness, not difference. This rallying cry to the young from one of France’s most renowned radical thinkers will appeal to the many who read and follow his work, and to the millions of young people around the world who are passionate about redressing the deeply entrenched inequalities and divisions in our societies today.
