Sink Your Fangs into the Mysteries of Life and Seek Out Your Darkest Desires. This thrilling deck resurrects vampire archetypes for a new age. These children of the night are modern, nuanced, and deadly creatures who will inspire you to unearth forgotten treasures within yourself. Craig Maher's illustrations explore themes of power, conflict, romance, and adventure. Woven throughout the cards is the eternal human story told through the eyes of vampires, and the companion book by Charles Harrington reveals how their journey gives you new insights into the cards. This Rider-Waite-Smith-based deck opens your eyes to the wonders of life, death, and what it's like to move through the world as an outsider.
Put on comfortable shoes or boots to journey through 14 self-guided walking and biking tours of the strange and haunted locations across some lesser-known regions of Rhode Island. Tales of mythical monsters, ghosts, and spirits from a murder or two may greet you as you explore Providence, Newport, Jamestown, and surrounding areas. Meet fabled half-deer, half-goat "doat," a demonic dog that has been scaring visitors for centuries, and ghosts that may be slightly more welcoming. Find out whether the Newport Tower is the true location of the lost Viking city of Norumbega, and visit the strange locations made famous by Rhode Island's favorite son of horror fiction: H. P. Lovecraft. Nine maps will guide you along your route and historical backgrounds provide the backdrop for the supernatural. To date, no one taking these tours has died at the hands of a mysterious lurking creature, so you should be fine...
Here's an irresistible invitation to discover a treasure trove of exceptional words you can use to add sophistication to your vocabulary and charm to your repartee. Consider that without realizing it you may have engaged in "acokoinonia" (sex without passion or desire), been bored to tears by the company of a "philodox" (someone in love with his or her opinions), or suffered from recurrent "matutolypea" (getting up on the wrong side of the bed). Presented with panache by the language connoisseur whom William Safire calls "ek-STROR-di-ner-ee," "There's a Word for It" will add a dash of wit to your daily life -- lest anyone mistake you for a "sumph" (stupid oaf) or "fritlag" (a good-for-nothing).

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

Fasten your seat belt for a crash course in careful usage.... Just like automobile accidents, accidents of style occur all over the English-speaking world, in print and on the Internet, thousands of times every day. They range from minor fender benders, such as confusing" their" and "there, " to serious smashups, such as misusing "sensual" for "sensuous" or writing "loathe "when you mean "loath." Charles Harrington Elster shows you how to navigate the hairpin turns of grammar, diction, spelling, and punctuation with an entertaining driver's manual covering 350 common word hazards and infractions, arranged in order of complexity for writers of all levels. Elster illustrates these surprisingly common accidents with quotations from numerous print and online publications, many of them highly regarded---which perhaps should make us feel better: If the horrendous redundancy "close""proximity" and the odious construction "what it is, is" have appeared in "The New York Times, " maybe our own accidents will be forgiven. But that shouldn't keep us from aspiring to accident-free writing and speaking. If you want to get on the road to writing well, "The Accidents of Style" will help you drive home what you want to say.

Are you so sure about "assure," "ensure," and "insure" ? Can you

"People judge you by the words you use." This has never been more
true than in our text-driven world of quick communications and
often sloppy language use. "Word Workout" is a practical book for
building vocabulary--a graduated program featuring thousands of
words that begins with words known by most college graduates and
ascends to words known only by the most educated, intelligent, and
well-read adults. The workout will be a comprehensive program,
chock-full of information about synonyms, antonyms, and word
origins, and replete with advice on proper usage and pronunciation.
There will be creative review quizzes at each step of the way and
longer review tests after each level to reinforce learning. Unlike
other vocabulary books, "Word Workout" provides a complete learning
experience, with clear explanations of meanings, word histories,
usages, pronunciation, and more. Far more than a cram session for a
standardized test, the book is designed as a lifetime vocabulary
builder, teaching a vocabulary shared by only the top percentage of
Americans, with a proven method that helps the knowledge last.
