A lively tour through the history of US cemeteries that explores how, where, and why we bury our dead. The summer before his senior year in college, Greg Melville worked at the cemetery in his hometown, and thanks to hour upon hour of pushing a mower over the grassy acres, he came to realize what a rich story the place told of his town and its history. Thus was born Melville's lifelong curiosity with how, where, and why we bury and commemorate our dead. Melville's Over My Dead Body is a lively (pun intended) and wide-ranging history of cemeteries, places that have mirrored the passing eras in history but have also shaped it. Cemeteries have given birth to landscape architecture and famous parks, as well as influenced architectural styles. They've inspired and motivated some of our greatest poets and authors—Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson. They've been used as political tools to shift the country's discourse and as important symbols of the United States' ambition and reach.

If you want to be heard, you need to know how to listen. Communication isn't all about what you say. It's about what you hear, what you notice, and how you respond. In short: it's about how you listen. And despite leaders spending eighty-three percent of their day listening, only two percent of them have ever been trained in how to listen effectively. At a time when we are more technologically linked than ever, our conversations have never been more distracted and disconnected—because most don't know how to truly listen. The result? You constantly fight to be "heard" over all the noise and distraction.

John Allen Paulos, "Once Upon A Number: The Hidden Mathematical Logic Of Stories"
English | 1999 | ISBN: 0465051596, 0465051588 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2.4 MB
What two things could be more different than numbers and stories? Numbers are abstract, certain, and eternal, but to most of us somewhat dry and bloodless. Good stories are full of life: they engage our emotions and have subtlety and nuance, but they lack rigor and the truths they tell are elusive and subject to debate. As ways of understanding the world around us, numbers and stories seem almost completely incompatible. Once Upon a Number shows that stories and numbers aren't as different as you might imagine, and in fact they have surprising and fascinating connections. The concepts of logic and probability both grew out of intuitive ideas about how certain situations would play out. Now, logicians are inventing ways to deal with real world situations by mathematical means - by acknowledging, for instance, that items that are mathematically interchangeable may not be interchangeable in a story. And complexity theory looks at both number strings and narrative strings in remarkably similar terms. Throughout, renowned author John Paulos mixes numbers and narratives in his own delightful style. Along with lucid accounts of cutting-edge information theory we get hilarious anecdotes and jokes; instructions for running a truly impressive pyramid scam; a freewheeling conversation between Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell (while they're stuck in an elevator together); explanations of why the statistical evidence against OJ Simpson was overwhelming beyond doubt and how the Unabomber's thinking shows signs of mathematical training; and dozens of other treats. This is another winner from America's favorite mathematician.

Discover how expanding and improving your mental agility - your ability to flex your thoughts, feelings, and actions—can transform your life, bolster your resilience, and foster your zest for living. Our lives are always changing, and how we navigate these shifts shapes our happiness. Countless self-help approaches claim to have the answer, but the truth is, there is no "one size fits all" solution to dealing with the challenges life brings us. Different situations call for different approaches; the key is choosing the right one. In Switchcraft, renowned Oxford University psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Elaine Fox shows you how to learn to choose the appropriate response to a range of situations—including when to stick at something, and when to make a change—and offers practical, flexible solutions for navigating an increasingly complex and unpredictable world.
