Treasure Every Word! "I can hardly imagine you falling asleep while reading, but if you do, the proverbs are bound to color your dreams" "The folly of life" is a book of proverbs containing original sayings by Michael F. Kaufmann. This is his third book in this genre, written - upon request, after the success of his first two books. Smile if you can, laugh if can't "The folly of life" presents an ironic and funny outlook on the true nature of life. It addresses a number of different disciplines which will widen and enrich the readers' perspective on reality. Humor is an intrinsic part of Kaufmann's writing and is either presented directly - "If you're dead serious than you're seriously dead", or indirectly - as an advice "if you want to guarantee the popularity of your next book, be sure to insert in it as many flattering photos of its readers". "Like an exquisite drink" The recommendation of the first few readers was to try and resist the temptation of "swallowing" its pages and finishing it in one read. They suggested to treat the book as if it was an exquisite drink which is treasured and tasted in small doses. Thus, to slowly digest the diversity, to challenge the insights, to smile, laugh and enjoy! The book is an easy read intended for readers who can smile with one eye and shed a tear with the other.

Fiction. Short Stories. Women's Studies. Following her acclaimed novels Clown Girl and The Stud Book, Monica Drake presents her long-awaited first collection of stories. THE FOLLY OF LOVING LIFE features linked stories examining an array of characters at their most vulnerable and human, often escaping to somewhere or trying to find stability in their own place. These stories display the best of what we love about Monica's writing the sly laugh-out-loud humor, the sharp observations, the flawed but strong characters, and the shadowy Van Sant-ish Portland settings. "What can I say about Monica Drake's stories? They are brilliant, sure. They are hilarious, yes. Each one is a marvel. But more importantly-they are raw and awake and full of life. At the center of each one is the bright beating heart of what literature can be: Relevant, unusual, entertaining, fascinating, unique. These are not characters-and Drake's is not a voice-that you can ignore or forget."—Pauls Toutonghi"

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes delivers a remarkable story of science history: how a ravishing film star and an avant-garde composer invented spread-spectrum radio, the technology that made wireless phones, GPS systems, and many other devices possible. Beginning at a Hollywood dinner table, Hedy's Folly tells a wild story of innovation that culminates in U.S. patent number 2,292,387 for a "secret communication system." Along the way Rhodes weaves together Hollywood’s golden era, the history of Vienna, 1920s Paris, weapons design, music, a tutorial on patent law and a brief treatise on transmission technology. Narrated with the rigor and charisma we've come to expect of Rhodes, it is a remarkable narrative adventure about spread-spectrum radio's genesis and unlikely amateur inventors collaborating to change the world.
