Cats I've Known: On Love, Loss, and Being Graciously Ignored
by Katie HaegeleFrom deep friendships to brief encounters, this is the story of the cats in Katie Haegele's life, or rather the story of her life in relation to the many cats she meets in Philadelphia's streets, alleys, houses, apartments, and bookstores. Through Haegele's sharp, wise, and at times hilarious gaze, we see cats for what they truly are: minor deities that mostly ignore the human foibles being played out around them. They accept our offerings with equanimity and occasionally bestow some nice thing on us. Haegele, author of White Elephants and Slip of the Tongue, has a unique and compelling sensibility, and it's a treat to see the world through her eyes as she shows us all the meanness, weirdness, and vulnerability of humans, against an ever-shifting backdrop of the cats we often take for granted, and who ignore us all democratically in return.

Cause for Success
by Christine ArenaStung by corporate scandals and media mayhem, many companies have begun integrating terms like "sustainable business," "conscious capitalism," and "ethical business" into their annual reports. Is it more corporate greenwashing or are businesses today really changing how and with whom they do business? Can corporate social responsibility become a new business standard? When it comes to implementing the kind of business strategies that create vital social and economic returns, many corporate leaders find themselves at a loss. "This is because, unlike branding or accounting, there are far too few solid industry case studies that profile the success stories and how those companies got there," says author and award-winning marketing specialist Christine Arena. Arena finds reasons to be optimistic while she examines new business paradigms for doing good and translating that good into profit. From Hewlett-Packard to British Petroleum to Stonyfield Farms and The Body Shop, Cause For Success profiles two case-study companies per chapter, exploring ideas such as philanthropy partnerships, ethics-driven businesses, how companies are serving the world's poor, bottom-line advantages of standing for social justice, as well as how some of the worst corporate citizens have become some of the best.
Cautionary Tales for Children: Designed For The Admonition Of Children Between The Ages Of Eight And Fourteen Years (classic Reprint) (Classics To Go)
by Hilaire BellocFor readers of any age, a witty and strikingly irreverent collection of moral guidance Most notable among prolific English satirist Hilaire Belloc's writings are the sharp and clever admonishments he composed for children. Collected here and illustrated to wonderful haunting effect by Edward Gorey, these short, funny pieces offer moral instruction for all types of mischief makers—from a certain young Jim, "who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion," to the tale of Matilda, "who told lies and was burned to death”—and add up to a delightful read for any fan of Roald Dahl or Shel Silverstein.

Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget: How to Survive in Business and Life
by Margaret JosephsPretty Mess meets #Girlboss in this part memoir, part entrepreneurial manifesto from The Real Housewives of New Jersey&’s &“Powerhouse in Pigtails.&”Margaret Josephs is a hustler. She&’s a tough cookie. She speaks her mind. She never leaves the house without lipstick on. She&’s also a devoted wife, mother, daughter, businesswoman, lifestyle expert, and fan-favorite star of the reality TV series The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Sounds pretty glamorous, right? Well, things are never exactly as they seem. Before she arrived where she is today, &“The Marge&” was born to young immigrant parents. Raised by a single party-girl mother who left her physically abusive father when she was one and a half, she was taught that it was more important to look good than to feel good. No structure. No rules. No blueprint for future success or stability. But like most people who struggle through atypical childhoods, destructive relationships, and career challenges, she forced herself to wake up every morning and put one high heel in front of the other, even if she didn&’t know where she was going. Margaret took the cards she was dealt and eventually turned them into a winning hand, and she wants to arm fans with the ability to do the same. In Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget, she&’ll talk about how to launch a lifestyle brand, how to work with family members, and how to be an uncompromising woman in a man&’s world. She also spills stories from her personal life about the son Real Housewives viewers don&’t know exists, the time Joan Rivers gave her the best advice she ever got, the rendezvous she had with a famous rock star, and the affair with her contractor that ended her marriage but gave her the happily ever after. Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget takes readers along Margaret&’s wild, bumpy journey to entrepreneurial success and reality TV fame, written in her trademark no-nonsense, tongue-in-cheek voice with the perfect combination of grit and glitz.

Ceardlann Leighis Mhothuchanach Agus Inmheanach: EOLAS A ATHRÓIDH DO SHAOL! EAGRÁN FEABHSAITHE ("Emotional and Inner Healing Workshop" and " The Circles of Life" #1)

Cláraíonn sé gach rud a fhaighimid ann. Tosaíonn ár stair mhothúchánach sula rugadh muid (rud a dhéanann an chuid is mó againn neamhaird). Leanaimid ar aghaidh lenár saol i bhforbairt na foghlama agus an fháis. Agus in éineacht leis seo, tá an córas mhothúchánach déanta freisin le gach rud a mhair agus a fhoghlaim. Is cuid bhunúsach dár saol iad mothúcháin, bíodh siad maith nó olc. Mar sin féin, níl a fhios againn conas iad a láimhseáil toisc gur speiceas mífhoighneach, fairsing agus díobhálach muid. Is féidir le ceardlann leighis mhothúchánach agus inmheánach leas a bhaint as raon leathan daoine aonair atá ag iarraidh a bhfolláine mhothúchánach a fheabhsú agus leigheas a fháil ó thrámaí nó eispéiris dhiúltacha san am atá caite.

D’fhéadfadh sé a bheith tairbheach freisin do dhaoine aonair a bhfuil taithí acu ar imeachtaí trámacha, amhail mí-úsáid, faillí nó caillteanas. Ina theannta sin, d’fhéadfadh aon duine atá ag iarraidh féinfheasacht níos fearr a
