An indispensable manual to navigating life from birth to death without making a false move. Your neighbor denounces cellular telephones as instruments of the devil.

The freshly updated version of the classic bestseller includes the latest letters, essays, and illustrations, along with the laugh-out-loud wisdom of Miss Manners as she meets the new millennium of American misbehavior head-on. This wickedly witty guide rules on the challenges brought about by our ever-evolving society, once again proving that etiquette, far from being an optional extra, is the essential currency of a civilized world. |

You've probably heard the saying "money doesn't grow on trees". Usually this is a warning not to take money for granted, that money is a limited resource and is not easily acquired. But I disagree. A small initial investment, given the right elements, discipline and time, can grow big and strong, and provide income for generations. So, yes, money can grow on trees! That's the essence of what we'll discuss within the pages of this book. I am offering readers an investment strategy, for everyone of all ages, regardless of your financial position or your current earnings. I'll show you how, by applying a simple approach to investing, you can produce an income stream, a never-ending source of money that can become your own Salary for Life. By focusing on you at particular times of life: young and single, as parents, even as grandparents, I will show you how to get started with a straightforward savings and investing plan. The goal of financial security during retirement could not be more within reach, or easier to achieve, than is it today. By learning about my Income Growth Investment Strategy, I hope that you'll be able to say, "Is it really that simple?" And just as there are things you should do at the beginning of your life, you need to be prepared for the end as well. It's a topic which too many   ignore. Don't leave a mess for your dependents to sort out. Instead, make the decisions while you are in control, ensure your estate and assets are handled and distributed exactly as you wish. |

El conde de Montecristo fue escrita por Alejandro Dumas en 1844 y fue publicada en 18 fragmentos entre los años 1844-1846. Esta obra es considerada como el mejor trabajo de Dumas y es quizás una de las mejores novelas de todos los tiempos. Alejandro Dumas para escribir esta obra y otras contó con la ayuda de Augusto Maquet pero éste nunca apareció como coautor de la misma, se cree que Dumas le pagó una gran cantidad de dinero para que así fuera. Edmundo Dantés es un joven marinero de Marsella con un gran futuro por delante. Es injustamente encarcelado y por avatares del destino consigue vengarse de las personas que le hicieron mal. El conde de Montecristo, es sobre todo una obra didáctica en la que Dumas a través de sus páginas enseña historia, geografía y costumbres de la época. Esta edición no es una traducción de la obra, es una re-escritura con algunas partes añadidas u omitidas prescindiendo de muchos de los personajes y situaciones que se dan en la novela original y adaptada para aprender español en virtud del Marco Europeo Común de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER), Nivel B1. |

Wise words from great minds: “Revisit this colorful read whenever you need a pick-me-up—or a push—to get out there and make the most of your day.” — Real Simple   A quote book like no other, this thought-provoking collection compiles the timeless wisdom of great original minds— from Marie Curie to Stephen King, Joan of Arc to Jack Kerouac, Oscar Wilde to Harriet Tubman—brilliantly hand-lettered by beloved indie artist Lisa Congdon. You’ll find enlightening insights (“Wisdom begins in wonder”— Socrates), stirring calls to action (“Leap and the net will appear”—John Burroughs), and stimulating encouragements (“Be curious, not judgmental”—Walt Whitman) beautifully illuminated on every page. A delightful reminder to make the most of life, Whatever You Are, Be a Good One is perfect for recent graduates, creative thinkers, and anyone looking for a little inspiration.   “An impossibly charming compendium . . . The common thread underpinning these quotes—which include such beloved luminaries as Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry James, Anne Lamott, Soren Kierkegaard, and Leo Tolstoy—is Congdon’s own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being.” — Brain Pickings |
