“… as your bride, you must indeed dedicate something further to me, and I know of nothing more tender than these 3 Romances, in particular the middle one, which is the most beautiful love duet.” It was with these words that Clara Schumann laid claim to the dedication of the Romances which Robert had given her as a Christmas present in 1839. Robert did not, however, consider them to be “good or worthy enough” of her. Even so, he later counted the Romances amongst his most successful works; in particular, the “middle one” mentioned above is probably one of his most beautiful and melodic compositions. This Urtext edition has been revised to include the latest in scholarly research and now includes an extensive critical report.

In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC. Ali redefined what it meant to be an athlete by giving hope to millions around the world and inspiring us all to fight for what is important to us. This is a multifaceted portrait of Muhammad Ali only he could render: sports legend; unapologetic anti-war advocate; outrageous showman and gracious goodwill ambassador; fighter, lover, poet, and provocateur; an irresistible force to be reckoned with. Who better to tell the tale than the man who went the distance living it?

Evidence of hotels and the hospitality industry have been recorded as far back as biblical times when Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem during the census. As the Bible depicts, Mary and Joseph were refused accommodations because there "was no room at the inn." Since the beginning of time, people have traveled for commerce, religion, family, health, immigration, education and recreation. As cited by Texas Tech University, the word "hospitality" comes from the Latin root meaning "host" or "hospice." The university further noted that the first hotels were nothing more than private homes opened to the public.Under the influence of the Roman Empire, inns and hotels began catering to the pleasure traveler in an effort to encourage visitors.

Feminism has hit the big time. Once a dirty word brushed away with a grimace, "feminist" has been rebranded as a shiny label sported by movie and pop stars, fashion designers, and multi-hyphenate powerhouses like Beyoncé. It drives advertising and marketing campaigns for everything from wireless plans to underwear to perfume, presenting what's long been a movement for social justice as just another consumer choice in a vast market. Individual self-actualization is the goal, shopping more often than not the means, and celebrities the mouthpieces. But what does it mean when social change becomes a brand identity? Feminism's splashy arrival at the center of today's media and pop-culture marketplace, after all, hasn't offered solutions to the movement's unfinished business. Planned Parenthood is under sustained attack, women are still paid 77 percent-or less-of the man's dollar, and vicious attacks on women, both on- and offline, are utterly routine. Andi Zeisler, a founding editor of Bitch Media, draws on more than twenty years' experience interpreting popular culture in this biting history of how feminism has been co-opted, watered down, and turned into a gyratory media trend. Surveying movies, television, advertising, fashion, and more, Zeisler reveals a media landscape brimming with the language of empowerment, but offering little in the way of transformational change. Witty, fearless, and unflinching, We Were Feminists Once is the story of how we let this happen, and how we can amplify feminism's real purpose and power.

Celebrate the diversity of life on earth with 500+ stickers, 50+ activity and coloring pages, and instructions for candle making, drying bouquets, and so much more! With Flora, Fauna, Botanicals, and Bees Sticker, Color & Activity Book, you can take a closer look at the things that are living all around you—that’s more than 2 million non-plant species (fauna) and nearly 400,000 plants (flora).

With better equipment to help explore the deepest ocean trenches, the densest jungles, and the most remote arctic regions, we’re able to find more organisms than ever before reported.

So it’s only natural that we’ve not only found more species, but there are more species to find. Now you can get into the spirit of scientific discovery and partake in some less-scientifically rigorous activities. Relax, explore your creativity, and add fun to your free time with: Exquisitely illustrated stickers: Use them to decorate envelopes, gift wrap, letters, scrapbooks, photo albums, or the floral-infused syrups and vinegars that you can make with instructions in the book.

I love English, the English language, English literature, and English TV series! But my deliberate love affair with the English language started with my first English lessons in 5th grade. This idiom seemed to be so different from my mother tongue. It was easier for me to express my thoughts and feelings in English than it was in German. English became something like my secret language of the heart. As I grew older my understanding of English became a more and more professional one. In spite of my refusal to swot vocabulary lists, my treasury of words grew richer. I even had a couple of English related jobs: teaching a group of students some basic stuff, coaching students for exams, and translating both nonfictional texts and poetry. But as you might have experienced yourself, the more I learned about the English language the more I became aware of the flaws of my usage. That is the reason for the title of this little book: “Far from perfect”. In my darker moments I thought of “Not too far away from pathetic, really”. But I doubt that would have been a big seller. Anyway, here are my favourite songs and poems from the last 25 years. Maybe you will like some of them, too.

Timeless wisdom for modern life: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is more than a philosophical classic – it is a guide to living with purpose, clarity, and strength. Written nearly two thousand years ago as the private reflections of a Roman emperor, its insights feel strikingly relevant today. With calm, powerful words on resilience, responsibility, and inner peace, Marcus Aurelius shows how to rise above daily challenges and focus on what truly matters. Far from abstract theory, this is a practical companion for anyone seeking balance in a restless world. For readers who crave more than quick fixes, Meditations offers lasting inspiration and a path toward genuine freedom of the mind and spirit.

The last word on the movement that shook the world. Punk: The Last Word is a powerful reimagining of punk--not just as a sound or style, but as a radical, DIY philosophy rooted in defiance, truth, and individuality. Cultural insider and Wag Club founder Chris Sullivan and Byline Times editor Stephen Colegrave bring together over 150 original interviews with punk's most iconic figures--Iggy Pop, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxsie Sioux, Vivienne Westwood, and many others. From musicians and designers to promoters and provocateurs, they paint a vivid portrait of the movement's chaotic rise and lasting impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Tracing punk's rebellious spirit from 19th-century bohemia to the explosion of Kings Road and Coventry in the late '70s, this is, without a doubt, the most in-depth, insider account of punk's evolution and legacy. As the movement approaches its 50th anniversary, its core values--authenticity, resistance, and creative freedom--feel more urgent than ever. Punk isn't just music. It's a way of life.

This is the second book in an extensive one-year introductory course in Japanese, also suitable for those who wish to work at a slower pace. Students who finish this course will have a firm grasp of how the language works and enough knowledge of the writing system to tackle everyday written material with no more than a dictionary. Particular attention is paid to questions of grammar which foreign learners often find difficult, so Book One can also serve as a reference grammar. An Introduction to Modern Japanese uses both spoken and written forms from the outset. There are word lists for each lesson, and a comprehensive vocabulary for the whole course. Book Two comprises the exercises and word lists which accompany the fifty-two lessons in Book One. The exercises ensure that the student has understood the grammar explained in the relevant lessons and give further practice in reading and recognising characters. Book Ttwo also contains a full vocabulary, Japanese to English and English to Japanese.
