Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. The original collection His Last Bow was mostly stories under the general headings of Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes, written 1908-1913. The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection: 221B (Illustrated) - Kindle edition by Doyle, Arthur Conan. There is one further difference from previous Sherlock Holmes collections: the stories are in chronological order, as they were written. The dark and moody illustrations intensify the feeling and atmosphere of these amazing adventures, and to make the experience even more authentic, the Strand stories are reproduced in facsimile from the very pages of the original issues: over sixty fascinating tales, including the long stories The Hound of Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear. Here for the first time in one volume is every Sherlock Holmes story with every illustration from the pages of those published in 'The Strand'. ![]() ![]() Anyone can become more creative, more focused, better at framing their goals and making wise decisions. “But in the end, if you learn how to recognize certain choices that, to many, might not be obvious, then you can become smarter, faster, and better over time. ![]() Sometimes a misstep is the most important footfall along the path to success.” In fact, as Disney learned, sometimes you have to foster tension to encourage creativity. “Productivity doesn’t mean that every action is efficient.“Productivity isn’t about working more or sweating harder. Here are my favourite take aways from reading, Smarter Faster Better by Charles Duhigg: ![]() They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics-as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters-the book posits that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don’t merely act differently. ![]() ![]() At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts-from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making-that explain why some people and companies get so much done. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seattle quoted Piketty in its minimum-wage law. You can see the appeal of such an argument, which has driven the book to become a cultural touchpoint. Piketty’s work – which has been in progress for over a decade – is a natural pairing with the Occupy movement, which also questions the premises of capitalism. The 1% and the 99% enshrined by Occupy are not an anomaly of our time, Piketty’s research suggests. ![]() If you rely on income, as most people do, you will likely never catch up to the wealth of people who are already rich. The implications of that are deep: to have invested capital, you must have money already. ![]() Piketty’s main argument is this: that invested capital – in the stock market, in real estate – will grow faster than income. Early in its launch, it hit No 1 on Amazon’s bestseller list and the paper version – a doorstop in punishing, heavy hardcover – sold out in major bookstores. Its graphic red-and-ivory cover is inescapable. Somehow, Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty has become a conversation piece among well-read people. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sweetkind Public Library (Cochiti Lake) (web site) ![]() Cargo Public Library (Villanueava) (web site)įred Macaron Library (Springer) (web site) Thompson Memorial Library (Clayton)ĭavid F.

Then they would kiss and tuck in each one (daughter) - clever Olga, delicate Tatania, chubby little Marie, and finally the baby, golden-haired Anastasia.

They would leave the court balls as early as possible, nodding politely to the courtiers and servants, who stood in rows, bowing. But Nicholas and Alexandra did not enjoy the social whirl very much.

Winner of the 2012 Audie Award for Mystery ![]() ![]() ![]() Books + Publishing Noongar writer Claire Coleman's debut novel, Terra Nullius, envisions a continent disturbingly familiar and worryingly futuristic. In our politically tumultuous time, the novel's themes of racism, inherent humanity and freedom are particularly poignant. Weekend Australian Set in an Australia that is simultaneously recognisable and bleakly foreign, Coleman's work of speculative fiction tells a story of colonisation and displacement that is both devastating and all too familiar.

This is not the Australia of our history. Families are torn apart, reeducation is enforced. The Settlers are eager to have a nation of peace, and to bring the savages into line.
