People are fascinating, especially people that other people think are worth reading about. People like Leonardo Da Vinci, which is why Walter Isaacson just wrote about him. Walter draws upon Leonardos own writings and tells a story that melds Leonardos passion for science with his love for art. There are other kinds of art, like that sought by Emily Nunn in her book The Comfort Food Diaries My Quest for the Perfect Dish to Mend a Broken Heart. After suffering life shaking changes, she sets out on a road trip to visit friends and family to recenter herself with cooking and eating being the great thing they all had in common. Entertainers are fascinating, naturally. People like Whitney Cummings, who wrote a biography called Im Fine and Other Lies in which the actress tells true stories about her experiences with fame, relationships, and struggling with codependency. Anna Faris claims to be Unqualified, even to write her own memoir. She had an awkward childhood, awkward dating life, and an awkward Hollywood career. She blends her self deprecating stories with solid advice for surviving when you are out of your depth. John Hodgman is a hilarious and bizarre personality with deep roots in New England, referring to the Maine Coast in his book title, Vacationland True Stories From Painful Beaches. Aging and rife with privilege, John describes his experiences with stark perspectives and cutting wit. If you like to take walks in graveyards just because they are well kept, then Vacationland might be for you. There are people that are worth noticing because of their political ideas and influence. Khizr Khan is a new face to much of the world, but he speaks with the certainty of someone who has thought long and often about his beliefs. He recently came out with two books.

Across the pond is the story of Liliane Bettencourt and the scandal surrounding her legacy and her vast LOreal wealth. Tom Sancton wrote The Bettencourt Affair The Worlds Richest Woman and the Scandal That Rocked Paris to explain the complicating ups and downs of courtrooms, headlines, and hidden relationships surrounding Liliane, who recently passed at 9. This work is timely considering the recent Paradise Papers leak. You can lighten up with success stories like Chip Gainess autobiography Capital Gaines Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff. His winning personality and his unrelenting determination help to remind us that hard and smart work can pay off.

Ive read too many of these formulaic thrillers. Patterson is amazing, and Im sure Ill go back to him and his entourage later, but right now Im tired of it. Desk Edition Library New Public Reference Second York' title='Desk Edition Library New Public Reference Second York' />I want something silly. Something carefree. Something clever. Thats when I took them to the teen room and showed them not so formulaic thrillers, space dramas, time travelers, alternative histories, and vampire romances that dont take themselves too seriously. Swf Toolbox 4 Serial Download. There are teen books where there are no super heroes, only villains books with layers and layers of deceit, where you never really learn what reality is real. Adults looking for something different can find it in the teen room. There is a stigma to overcome young adult books arent for older adults. NOPE. Put that thought right to rest. Read what you want. If you hold yourself back from trying young adult books, or any book, because you dont think its for you is a waste. From what Ive seen of authors of young adult books, they expect many of their readers to be adults anyway. The new shelf is a great place to look. Its one shelf, right on top of the shelves in the middle of the teen room. Youll see books like They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. Death tells two teenage boys that they will die at the end of the day. Looking for some connection, they find each other through an app and live out their last day as fully as they can. You would be amazed at how many people have asked me if they do die at the end, but Ill not give out any spoilers that arent freely given by the author. Landscape with Invisible Hand by M. T. Anderson will be fascinating if you enjoy art, pop culture, or science fiction. Aliens have arrived and they grace the world with fabulous technologies. At first a blessing, the technologies disturb the balance of labor and economies to the point that the world is in disarray with many struggling for survival. The only currency the aliens will take is classic Earth culture, so one couple tries to make it by recording 1. A quick and imaginative read. E Lockharts Genuine Fraud is an 1. She doesnt just dress a part, she becomes a different person wherever she goes across half the world and the more this heroine adapts, the more she muddles who she really is. A story about impulse and identity. For gamers, sci fi fans, and cyberpunk enthusiasts, Marie Lus Warcross shows a world where all of society has adapted to the use of computers, such that games are an integral part of economies, entertainment, and politics. A hacker gets caught and she is coerced into going undercover in competitive gaming. The world is well thought out. Try Gaby Dunns I Hate Everyone But You for a story of long distance friendship told almost entirely in texts and emails. The Librarian of Auschwitz is Dita Adlerova, a 1. Auschwitz. Antonio Iturbe, the author, does not hold back the horrors of the death camp in this book about life and relationships in horrifying circumstances. Try a book from the teen room to shake up the monotony. You can always ask me for a recommendation too Notes from the Libraryby Mark Thomas, November 2, 2. STAND BACK Im going to do. SCIENCE said the 5th grader as she added a little extra stuff to the mixture to see what would change. I remember when science had a reputation for being boring and confusing. It was something white coats did before they told the world dubious facts. Now, science is in. Its cool, like Falls first frost. As people, companies, and governmental organizations rely more on the results of scientific studies, scientific literacy has jumped into the public eye. Companies rely on studies to learn what works, so they need employees that can conduct studies and others that can read and understand them. Acknowledging Sources. University of Texas at Arlington Libraries Tutorial. This tutorial will help you learn how to acknowledge sources and avoid plagiarism. Sections. Why is acknowledging sources importantHow do you acknowledge sources Test your knowledge The Point of Class Writing Assignments. Writing assignments are not exercises in assembling a paper from different sources, they are designed to make you think for yourself. In almost any job, you may be asked to gather information, evaluate and make decisions about the information, and present your conclusions to others. Your class writing assignments give you experience in using other peoples work as a starting place for your own ideas and contributions. By acknowledging your sources, you give your work credibility and identify your ideas and the ideas of others. Intellectual Property. The concept of ownership of information also called intellectual property is important to understand. In the United States, people own the copyright of their content from the moment of creation. In other words, as soon as an author writes an article, the author owns the copyright to that article. Copyright allows the author to control how the work is used. Copyright ownership also applies to books, databases, Internet pages, computer programs, artwork, music, and even spoken words. The material does not have to be published to be protected by copyright. Because of this culture of ownership, you must be careful to acknowledge the source of all material that you use. If you do not, you are not only guilty of plagiarism but could face legal charges of copyright infringement. The Importance of Acknowledging Your Sources. Why is it important to acknowledge your sources When you acknowledge the contributions of others to your work, you act with academic integrity. Academic integrity is a firm adherence to five fundamental values Honesty. Trust. Fairness. Respect. Responsibility. By citing your sources you make it easy to verify information that backs up your arguments. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will face disciplinary action that could range from a failing grade to expulsion from the university. What is PlagiarismWhen you take someones words or ideas and present them as your own, you commit plagiarism. Plagiarism is using the work of others but not acknowledging the source. Examples. Copying and pasting text from a web site. Copying and pasting a chart or image from a web site. Copying material from books or magazines. Copying someones spoken words. Copying a unique or distinctive phrase. Changing the wording of an article slightly for example, changing TV to television and not citing the source. Buying or using a paper written by someone else. Taking another persons ideas and presenting them as your own. Copying someones computer program. Including artwork or music in a project without getting permission or citing the source. Using a translation of someones work and not referencing the original source. Translating someones work into another language without crediting the author. The use of a translation engine, such as Google Translate or Babelfish, to complete a graded foreign language assignment is considered cheating and plagiarism in some cases, because you are presenting the translation engines work as your own. It is also considered plagiarism to have a native or advanced speaker of that language assist you in translating English text you have written into the target language. You can use other peoples work in your papers as long as you give credit to the original author.
