Alan Moore is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the graphic story medium, having garnered countless awards for works such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing and Miracleman. He is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has created (along with many talented illustrators) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories and Top Ten.Dave Gibbons is an English comic book artist and author best known for his collaborations with writer Alan Moore, including the seminal Watchmen and the Superman story "For the Man Who Has Everything." He was an artist for the UK anthology 2000 AD, for which he contributed a large body of work from its first issue in 1977. For DC, he has written Green Lantern Corps and Rann-Thanagar War.

Soon to be an HBO original series, Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from award-winning author Alan Moore, presents a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history--the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect.

Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes.

This edition of Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from Alan Moore, the award-winning author of V For Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke, features art from industry legend Dave Gibbons, with high-quality, recolored pages found in Watchmen: Absolute Edtion.

Surprising to start reading graphic Noel's again I had collected comics since the sixties, owning many originals; over the past eight years I've been giving just about everything away, including my collection of thousands of comics.Marvel was always my favorite but it was two DC comics; The Watchmen and The Dark Knight series in 1985 that were so well done, I decided to stop.The Watchmen was extremely well thought out with the storyline and a suburb job with the art, after watching all versions of the movie so many times I thought I'd pick up the graphic novel for a re-read. I'm damn glad I did, it still has held up very well and with the U.S. now in Afghanistan it is even more surreal.How's this rating system work anyway? Rate the story, or the product delivered? I rarely leave Amazon reviews. I hate their rating system. It's like everyone else's: Give stars but who knows what the rater's stars apply to. I'll explain...I'm sure this story, WATCHMEN is really good. I just got it and haven't read it yet but so many people said it's an all-time story and so I made the decision to dive deeper. I dove deeper into what variation of the book I wanted, paperback or hardcover. I saw a video review and I watched as that reviewer talked about the nice leather-like hardcover and the protective slip case. That's what I wanted and that's what I thought I was getting.I got something different. I got a cover that looks like the one in the product listing (yeah, I know... I know). But that review had me thinking I was getting that exact hardcover, not the hardcover I got.If Amazon would stop lumping all the variations under a single review this would help. Because people rate different things about what they buy. Sometimes they come to complain about shipping. Or that something's instructions weren't clear. Or they received a different hardcover.I'm tired of typing. I just want the same version of the book like Sebastian in his video review. Where can I get it?

Little Weirds Download

ISBN: 0316485349
Title: Little Weirds Pdf
Author: Jenny Slate
Published Date: 2019-11-05
Page: 240

An Amazon Best Book of November 2019: Author and comedian Jenny Slate is a little weird (in a very good way). Her aptly named collection of personal essays, Little Weirds, gives readers a glimpse into her strangely funny and tender, magically delicious mind. Divorced and broken-hearted, Slate returns to her childhood home in Massachusetts—an old house haunted by the ghost of a forlorn sea captain—and mines her rich inner world for stories of birth and death, crafts outrageous dating profiles from a Color-Spirit who loves spicy food and hates rock climbing, and sends formal cease and desist letters to her own boring dreams. Slate’s writing style is deeply personal, yet her prose is crisp to the taste in her retelling of the simple joy of a well-made sardine sandwich and there’s a heft to her language, not unlike the weight of the Meyers lemons she carries in from the backyard. In one particularly poignant story, a psychic tells her to grow up, and Slate allows herself to finally let go and listen to her soft and bruised heart, all of which paved the way for her to become the wild free creature she knows herself to be—the one who’s having her bona fide moment in the spotlight now. —Marlene Kelly "This book is something new and wonderful--honest, funny, positive, completely original, and inspiring in the very best way: it made me remember I was alive."―GEORGE SAUNDERS"Jenny's writing is magical and stylish, just like her. Each essay in Little Weirds feels like a vivid, cinematic experience, full of original observations and unexpected laughs."―MINDY KALING"A man on the 2 Express Train read some of Jenny Slate's Little Weirds over my shoulder. 'What kind of book is this?' he asked. 'The best kind,' I replied."―JOHN MULANEY"This book is like a stovetop goulash, delicious and varied ingredients, prepared perfectly and excellent with bread...I'm sorry, I lost track of the simile."―AMY SEDARIS"Luminous, emotional, lovely, and a little mysterious, this book is something you will savor like a half-remembered, gorgeous dream. You'll finish it feeling like Jenny Slate is your new best friend."―SUSAN ORLEAN, author of THE LIBRARY BOOK and THE ORCHID THIEF"Jenny's writing is wide open, tuneful, tender. She sees the world (and feels the world) like a bug might, two antennae poking out from her head like sensory wands. Reading Little Weirds made me feel tipsy."―DURGA CHEW-BOSE, author of TOO MUCH AND NOT THE MOOD"At once warm, heartbreaking, and erotic...a strange, witty, sad journey into the depths of their author's imagination...devastating in their unfiltered honesty, even optimism...showcasing [Slate's] singular poetic forms of expression."―ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY"A singularly hilarious and horny, but also poignant and tender, collection of writing that beautifully captures Slate's inimitable voice, which is one that, once you've heard it, you want to listen to forever."―NYLON"If you hadn't previously been aware of Slate's dexterity as a storyteller, [Little Weirds] will be your awakening...The thing about Jenny Slate is that her warmth doesn't just come from her openness. It also comes from her ability to say, with her whole chest, something others would keep hushed away. It's why she's the receptacle of the stories people are normally too embarrassed to tell. When someone articulates so clearly her own hopes and worries and small shames, it feels like an opening to share your own in return."―IN STYLE"The inside of Jenny Slate's mind is a fascinating, if unusual, place. In this collage of essays, stories, dreams (both night and day), and pieces that defy easy categorization, the actor and comedian invites readers to pay an extended visit, one that will leave them enlightened, moved and sometimes pleasantly puzzled... a refreshing, original journey."―SHELF AWARENESS

Step into Jenny Slate's wild, luminous, unfiltered imagination in this "magical" (Mindy Kaling), "delicious" (Amy Sedaris), and "poignant" (John Mulaney) collection about love, heartbreak, and being alive.

"This book is something new and wonderful."
-- George Saunders

Journey to Star Wars Pdf

ISBN: 1368045588
Title: Journey to Star Wars Pdf The Rise of Skywalker Force Collector
Author: Kevin Shinick
Published Date: 2019-11-19
Page: 400

Kevin Shinick is an Emmy Award-winning writer as well as an actor, director, and multiple Annie Award-winning producer. Best known for his work on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken and for creating the animated series MAD, Shinick has earned a veritable pop culture pedigree by working alongside George Lucas, directing Stan Lee, collaborating with the rock band KISS, and helping Mike Tyson solve some mysteries. He is the author of the Star Wars picture book Chewie and the Porgs.

Karr is a teenage boy like many others in the galaxy. He goes to school, helps his parents with the family business, likes speeders and droids. But Karr also has a secret: when he touches certain objects, he gets searing headaches and blacks out. And along with the pain sometimes come visions of people he doesn't know and places he's never been.

Karr's parents worry that he's sick; his grandmother is convinced the visions come from the Force. But it's been years since anyone has heard from the last of the Jedi-Luke Skywalker. Are there any Jedi left to guide Karr in the use of his abilities? Is anyone even willing to talk about the Jedi and what happened to them, as their memory continues to fade and the First Order rises? Stuck on his isolated home planet, Karr becomes a collector of historical artifacts, hoping to one day find an object that will give him a vision about the secrets of the Jedi.

When his grandmother dies and his parents announce they're sending him away to a school on the other side of the planet, Karr reaches his breaking point. He needs to know what his destiny holds, and whether the Jedi are involved. Accompanied by Maize, the blunt, unpredictable new girl at school with ties to the First Order, and RZ-7, Karr's solicitous droid companion, he sets off into the larger galaxy to find the truth. His adventures will take him from Utapau to Jakku to Takodana and beyond as he learns more about the Jedi than he could have expected?and about his own place in the Force.

Praise for Star Wars: Force Collector:

"Kevin Shinick is one of the brightest stars in the Star Wars literary galaxy, and Force Collector shows exactly why!" - Gary Whitta, screenwriter, Rogue One

"A wonderful journey into the richness of the Star Wars universe. It blasts you into action and adventure at lightspeed. "- Ahmed Best, actor

"A rollicking, planet-hopping, Force-charged adventure sure to delight Star Wars fans of all ages."- Michael Kogge, author of Star Wars The Last Jedi: A Junior Novel

"Shinick invites us into the Star Wars universe through an amazing new character and adds to the canon in unexpected and clever ways."- Doug Jung, screenwriter, Star Trek Beyond

Star Wars of today.. Sad stuff really. Pretty high values for what comes across as a childrens story possibly considered appropriate for the ages 8-13. Loads of work seems to have been put into this audiobook.Of course I would never give this to any person of said age without reading/listening to it with them so as to be on hand to explain to said youth all thats defective about it if necessary.If you do not mind your main character being fairly dimwitted, and one who at times behaves like a person half his supposed age, along with a female companion who comes across as a regular nightmarish fourteen year old girl. Well at least the female companion is portrayed in a consistent fashion.. Or rather so far that has been the case.Oh I nearly forgot to mention that if you (are a right thinking human being) have issues with the use of Sir when referencing female sentients well then this may not be for you.Anyway, a certain type of mindset seemed to shine through or maybe the word is pervades this story/book.I have not even reached the halfway mark and its sadly become.. a depressing chore to listen to it.Were it not for the very high quality of the technical writing, narration and Star Wars(nostalgia) background sound, well I doubt I would have gotten this far, let alone continued listening.I wish all audiobooks where of this high technical quality.A Great addition to Star Wars Expanded Universe Written by Kevin Shinick, “Star Wars: Force Collector” revolves around a teen named Karr Nuq Sin on the planet Merokia during the new trilogy era. Karr isn’t an average teen, however, as he is Force attuned. You see, when he touches an object he can learn about that object’s past. Unfortunately, as a result of this power, he gets bad headaches. People also think he’s crazy, stressed, and or ill. His parents want to transfer him to a tailor trade school, but Karr decides to runaway with his rebellious friend Maize and his handy droid RZ-7. Their mission? To learn more about the Jedi, the Force, and Karr’s abilities. Together, the two venture to Utapu, Jakku, Oba Diah, Batuu, Takodana, Kijimi, and Pam’ba to find artifacts that may provide answers to questions Karr has.“Star Wars: Force Collector” (which is part of the “Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” line of media tieins ) doesn’t deal with any characters we have previously met. Sure, some familiar faces and things pop up here and there, but the main characters in this story are original characters. In some ways, this story feels like a continuation of the last scene in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” in that we are learning about individuals strong in the Force. In the case of this book, we dive into the story of Karr and his lineage. I won’t go into spoiler details, but his life and family tree is full of surprises and secrets.Another appealing aspect of this YA novel is that it takes place at a point when the Jedi and Force are largely considered to be myths and legends due to the vast amounts of propaganda and hidden truths that have plagued the galaxy for years and years. This time period really made Karr’s character arc more engaging as he has to navigate through the falsities to piece together the truth about the past.“Force Collector” is not without its flaws. The structure of the story is rather tedious and repetitious as the plot is largely comprised of planet hopping adventures. Kevin Shinick also tends to repeat things over and over ad nauseum with some rather clunky dialogue at times. Simply put, the book really could have used some editing.Good idea, but... I came into this wanting to love it, like this sounded like the greatest concept for a Star Wars story I’d heard in a long time. And don’t get me wrong- the characters are likable (both leads, as well as the droid), the descriptions are good, and more.All that being said, it just seemed... too easy? Without going to detailed into the plot, it just seemed like all the conflict was resolved within a paragraph of being introduced. Everyone just believed the stories the characters told, despite it being two kids alone in a first order ship hopping around the galaxy. Every trip was a success that found them the next clue they needed right away. When one character was ‘captured’, the other was completely unconcerned because they could still communicate and apparently she taught him everything he needed to know about flying even though, as stated, he’d never even been to space before that.There just seemed to me to be no significant conflict or stakes to overcome, and even when something came along, it was immediately taken care of without even so much as a bit of sacrifice.

Absolutely phenomenal I rarely if ever leave reviews on purchases, but I felt the need to share this one. I've spent the past several years trying to figure out what I was doing wrong when it came to happiness. I had every reason to be happy, but yet felt this deep hollowness inside. I've tried all the positive thinking quick fixes, meditation, law of attraction, etc. Nothing seemed to click or "cure" this aching inside. It wasn't until I read the 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, that the fog finally lifted. This book taught me why all those quick fixes don't work and how my happiness depended on my own internal work and efforts. I encourage anyone who is struggle with a similar situation or everyone for that matter to read this book. It'll change your perspective on life!Balloon Juice I finally decided to read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I had purchased it some time ago and recently determined that now was the time to read this self-help classic. What a COLOSSAL disappointment! I am amazed that this mediocrity is so popular. I found it to be little more than 1980s managerial balloon juice.From “paradigm shift,” to “think Win/Win,” to (ugh) “synergy,” there is no empty self-help cliché left unturned. I should have stopped reading the first time I saw the word “synergy.” (I get countless “business proposals” in my email every day and, if I bother to skim any of them at all, I delete them as soon as the word “synergy” makes an appearance.) No word represents the trite emptiness of this book better than “synergy” – except maybe the verb form of the word: “synergize,” or the adjective “synergistic,” or the adverb “synergistically.” But they are all here. (The author also repeatedly refers to “things that are learned” as “learnings.”)The book doesn’t even try to live up to its title. There is no argument at all to support the idea that these are seven actual habits that real people have used anywhere in the world to achieve real success. In fact, these seven so-called habits appear to be nothing more than seven things that the author thinks are really good ideas, with weird examples of how they helped him deal with his kid being bad at baseball and also helped his kid learn the value of cleaning up the yard. The book’s title doesn’t match the book itself, but then no one would spend their money on a book called, “The Seven Things Some Random Guy Thinks are Really Nifty-Keen.”Here’s some useful self-help/time management advice for you: do not waste your precious time with this book. There are dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of better self-help books out there. Synergize your win/win paradigm shifts with some of those.

Principles Download

ISBN: B074B2CZJG
Title: Principles Pdf Life and Work

Ray Dalio, one of the world's most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he's developed, refined, and used over the past 40 years to create unique results in both life and business - and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.

In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and has grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater's exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as "an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency". It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio - who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood - that he believes are the reason behind his success.

In Principles, Dalio shares what he's learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book's hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of "radical truth" and "radical transparency", include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating "baseball cards" for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they're seeking to achieve.

Here, from a man who has been called both "the Steve Jobs of investing" and "the philosopher king of the financial universe" (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you'll find in the conventional business press.

Extended Edition of Free Version For those of you who do not know, Dalio previously published his "Principles" as a ~100 page article online for free, however removed it to begin selling this book. After reading both, I think this book provides an excellent extension to the original however at the cost of nearly 5x the reading time required. If you are not an avid follower of Dalio and Bridgewater, I would recommend finding a PDF of his earlier version online and if that does not suffice then consider purchasing this. Also, if you watch his frequent talks (can be found on YouTube), you will already know a lot about his personal history and the history of Bridgewater as covered in the beginning of this book. That said, Dalio is a legend in the HF world and I found it well worth the extra $18 to learn a little more from one of the smartest men alive.Exceptional Book - 6 Stars This book was fantastic and extremely organized. The author starts the book by giving the reader a background on who he is and how he arrived at the principles that were outlined. This part of the book is good for anyone that's not familiar with the author's backstory. It was somewhat astounding to learn that Mr. Dalio was literally broke in 1982 and has come-back to build a 150 billion dollar hedge fund.In the second part of the book, the author gets into the stuff that's incredibly important, but difficult to implement. In short, he provides a roadmap and tools (via algorithmic means) to accomplish anything you want in life. There's a ton of substance, definition, & practicality on how to action your objectives. He has a five-step process to achieve what you want out of life, and it couldn't be more understandable and reasonable. The tricky part for most people (in my humble opinion) is finding a goal or objective that they can focus and remain passionate about for an extended period. If that's not your problem, then Mr. Dalio's advice in the second part of the book is significantly profound.In the third section of the book, the author teaches you how to build the mastermind group/organization that's going to achieve the goals/mission you outlined in the second part of the book. The knowledge and thought that went into these 300 pages of the book are quite impressive. In short, the reader needs to get the culture right, get the people right, and then build and evolve the protocols that run the organization at a fundamental level. There's so much granularity behind those core concepts that it'll keep you busy trying to absorb everything.In my humble opinion, MBA programs should be designing management courses around the information contained in this book. It's extremely thorough, practical, and organized.Negatives. The book is a long read. If you're looking for something that's quick and easy, you're in the wrong place. The book is so organized (which I personally liked) that some might find it too programmatic. If you're looking for surprises and adventurous stories with your learning, you won't get that in the last two parts of the book. Dalio is all business.In general, I'm so impressed the author took the time and effort to teach the world everything he has learned. You can tell he truly wants to help others be successful. The book has taught me the importance of trying to understand the fundamental building blocks of my own life. I now have an appreciation for trying to understand how things work and how I can model success habits around those principles. I've started to list my own principles, but it's hard identifying unique ideas beyond those found in the book (because it's so thorough). But the important part is that I'm aware of developing my own list and co-opting or creating new principles. This book has had a profound impact on me - it's definitely worth more than 5 stars.

Give Me Liberty Pdf

ISBN: 1541699130
Title: Give Me Liberty Pdf A History of America's Exceptional Idea
Author: Richard Brookhiser
Published Date: 2019-11-05
Page: 272

"In our deeply divided America, Richard Brookhiser goes back in search of our roots, and finds them in that many-headed idea called 'liberty.' In his signature style, he wastes no words, defies the conventional political categories, and invites us to join him in recovering a series of inspirational moments when we all felt the same future in our hearts and minds."―Joseph J. Ellis, author of American Dialogue: The Founders and Us"With his characteristic combination of elegance and shrewdness, Richard Brookhiser gives us another insightful account of what makes us the nation we are. Give Me Liberty is intellectual history at its riveting best."―H.W. Brands, author of Heirs of the Founders and Dreams of El Dorado"Brookhiser grounds his spirited argument for American exceptionalism in the idea of liberty...An engaging history of admirable episodes from America's past."―Kirkus Richard Brookhiser is a senior editor of National Review and the author of thirteen books, including John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court, Founders' Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln, and James Madison. He lives in New York City.

An award-winning historian recounts the history of American liberty through the stories of thirteen essential documents

Nationalism is inevitable: It supplies feelings of belonging, identity, and recognition. It binds us to our neighbors and tells us who we are. But increasingly -- from the United States to India, from Russia to Burma -- nationalism is being invoked for unworthy ends: to disdain minorities or to support despots. As a result, nationalism has become to many a dirty word.

In Give Me Liberty, award-winning historian and biographer Richard Brookhiser offers up a truer and more inspiring story of American nationalism as it has evolved over four hundred years. He examines America's history through thirteen documents that made the United States a new country in a new world: a free country. We are what we are because of them; we stay true to what we are by staying true to them.

Americans have always sought liberty, asked for it, fought for it; every victory has been the fulfillment of old hopes and promises. This is our nationalism, and we should be proud of it.

13 valuable American documents In selecting important "documents" to review, no American historian would exclude certain documents, but some documents are a judgment call. Brookhiser picks some of the most obvious, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, but he also made some other interesting choices: FDR's arsenal of democracy "fireside chat," displaying his consummate political skills; Reagan's tear down this wall speech, delivered to the world as only President Reagan could; the trial of John Peter Zenger; and William Jennings Bryan's cross of gold speech.As much as I want to pick Reagan's speech, today, November 9th is, after all, the 30th anniversary of the wall's coming down, I must pick the cross of gold speech. My paternal great grandfather was mid-way through his 35-year law career in 1896, in Chicago, and he was involved in Democrat party politics (running for judge twice). I never knew him, nor did I know his son, my grandfather. My own father did not know his grandfather and barely knew his own father since his dad died so young, and then he, himself, died so young, so I have no family legends. But because of Brookhiser's excellent prose, and his attention to detail, in my mind's eye I can picture great granddad at the Chicago Coliseum in the audience on that day, and maybe in the proverbial smoke-filled room.That is why I love history, and why Brookhiser's new book really hits the spot. He identifies all of the players, even those now (almost) lost to history, as if HE were there. An excellent job, indeed.

Perfect!! Oh happy day!! Let me start by saying I consider myself to be a coloring book connoisseur (i.e. SNOB). I was super hyped to discover this little beauty on Amazon for $3.99 and Prime eligible!! And normally I only order coloring books with printing only on one side of the page, but I think the way they utilized the backs of the pages is perfect!! Can't wait to start coloring it!! This is one of my favorite coloring book purchases of all time! 👍🏻👍🏻 My only irritation is that it showed up a day late, which appeared to be caused by a delay at one of the processing centers along the way, therefore not affecting my review of the product itself 🙂Five Stars It is fun & therapeutic to color & even more fun & therapeutic to color inspiring words.Oh I'm excited ... it's like a journal with lovely pages to color ... This book is different than any other I own... But the scriptures are captivating... The pages are on black paper with a scripture on every page...I wish the pages were perforated... I miss that ease of taking out the page...All in all I will keep this one... Thanks "Inspired to Grace" seller...R. Bridge...Update: I feel I have left out a comment regarding the book as a whole.... The pages are covered with Large scriptures and large lines & swirls of which you may want to color these big spaces... There are 1 or 2 pages that will take some time to actually color in the designs... Thank you for considering this update... Happy colorings...
