In our bureaucratized culture, we’re inundated by documents: itineraries, instruction manuals, permit forms, primers, letters of complaint, end-of-year reports, accidentally forwarded email, traffic updates, ad infinitum. David Shields and Matthew Vollmer, both writers and professors, have gathered 40 short fictions that they’ve found to be seriously hilarious and irresistibly teachable (in both writing and literature courses): counterfeit texts that capture the barely suppressed frustration and yearning that percolate just below the surface of most official documents.

In diesem Buch erklärt er, auf welche Weise man Gesundheit und Lebensdauer steigern kann. Unser Epigenom nimmt über die Jahrzehnte Schaden.

Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities? To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them.

The battle with the darkness is not over. It has only just begun...The battle for Amigus is over, and orphan-turned-hero, Yuiv, is settling into his life as junior lord of the house of Trauel. The loving family and peaceful life he’s so long yearned for seems to be within his grasp; that is until Yuiv starts having vivid nightmares. His glowing Kalyra eyes mark these dreams as supernatural, proof that he has the gift of Farsight -a power held only by the Al’Kalyra or Arch Sage. As frightening as the idea of being Valcoria’s prophesied savior is, the terror of what Yuiv witnesses in ...

The first emperor of France and one of the shrewdest military leaders of all time, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) eventually came to control much of Europe. In Simply Napoleon, authors J. David Markham and Matthew Zarzeczny tell Napoleon's story, from his birth on the island of Corsica to his eventual imprisonment and death on the island of Saint Helena. They explain how the famed military commander's unique combination of determination, intellect, and personal charisma allowed him to rise from a provincial village to become a powerful and authoritative ruler. While taking an overall positive view of Napoleon, Markham and Zarzeczny also make it a point to draw attention to his mistakes and their consequences, providing a balanced picture of this complicated figure who was both a product of his times and a man pointing the way to the future.

The Coronavirus Bible is what happens when a bunch of Christian comedians get together (virtually) during quarantine to raise money to support those in need. This coronavirus comedy bible will not only raise a laugh, but also raise funds to help those in need. And since laughter is also good medicine, you’ll be helping yourself, too. Honest.

The Writ Wit, where two twits talk about writting. (No, those aren't typos) ​ Hosted by Matthew Donald and Matthew David, the Writ Wit is a podcast for writers, by writers. More accurately however, it's for people dumb enough to think two idiots who are barely professional at this hobby are worth taking advice from when it comes to writing. We talk about genres, characters, character development, the writing process, and discuss other people's works we plan to rip off-uh, I mean...works we have read, watched, or played that we like. So join us on this grand adventure that these two twits...

A Podcast where two burly bearded men read classic and modern romance novels and give in depth reviews…..but here’s the catch, the books are only second hand novels, and they have to drink boxed wine (aka smut juice)…. Now for the final kick in the nuts, one of them hasn’t read the book… Listen as Matt-splains the book, David gives an honest review (since, let’s be honest, he’s the only one reading and probably more than low key loves it) and Phoebe (the slightly squeaky sidekick) is only allowed to read the “spicy” segments while she introduces her lady perspective during ...
