Collection: Adult

In this latest paperback volume of Peanuts, romance is in the air: Charlie Brown's flirtatious winking in class sends him to the school nurse, Linus's attempts to woo "Lydia" of the many names are met with mockery -- and Peppermint Patty and Marcie's fierce quarrel over which one of them "Charles" likes the best. Other storylines include Snoopy's stay in the hospital for a hockey-related knee injury -- until everyone realizes that dogs don't have knees, Patty's campaign to be her school's "May Queen," Sally's rocky career as a playwright, and Snoopy's "kiss-and-tell" book. Plus, fan-favorites Lucy, Rerun, Spike... and Snoopy's feathered Beagle Scouts!

The Complete Peanuts is the publishing project that launched a renaissance in comic strip publishing and the only place Charles M. Schulz's classic has ever been collected in its entirety. Featuring impeccable production values, each volume of this series features two successive years of newspaper strips (dailies and Sundays), plus bonus material such as celebrity introductions, interviews, and a brief biography of Schulz himself.

"The Big Four" marks a high-stakes departure for Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's legendary Belgian detective. In this thrilling adventure, Poirot and his faithful companion, Captain Hastings, are drawn into a global web of intrigue that transcends the typical village murder mystery. The duo must confront a formidable criminal syndicate known as the "Big Four," a group of powerful individuals representing international interests: a brilliant Chinese mastermind, a ruthless American multi-millionaire, a gifted French scientist, and a mysterious English assassin.

As the conspiracy threatens to destabilize world peace, Poirot must use all his wits and "little grey cells" to unmask these villains and dismantle their organization. From London to the Alps, the investigation leads to a series of dangerous encounters and clever deceptions. "The Big Four" showcases Christie's ability to blend the classic detective genre with elements of the international spy thriller, offering readers a fast-paced narrative filled with suspense, danger, and the impeccable deductive logic that has made Hercule Poirot one of literature's most enduring figures. This work remains a significant entry in the Poirot canon, highlighting the character's courage when faced with an unprecedented global threat.

"I've led a life full of shame. Human beings are a complete mystery to me."

This manga version of novelist Osamu Dazai's masterpiece NO LONGER HUMAN--the #2 bestselling novel of all time in Japan--tells the story of Yozo Oba, a young man growing up in Japan in the immediate aftermath of World War II, who finds himself caught between the disintegration of the traditions of his aristocratic provincial family and the impact of the new postwar world.

Oba is tormented by a failure to find any value in himself or in human relationships, despite being surrounded by women who love him. He creates the persona of a buffoon who mocks himself while entertaining others. But inside he is tortured, and as he moves from childhood to adulthood he becomes addicted to sex and alcohol. Largely autobiographical, No Longer Human explores Dazai's own sense of failure and alienation which drove him to self-destruct with alcohol and numerous suicide attempts.

Osamu Dazai (1909--1948) is Japan's second most popular novelist (after Soseki), and his works are seeing a huge surge in popularity among young people worldwide thanks to the success of the recent manga, anime and film series Bungo Stray Dogs, whose protagonist, a detective called Osamu Dazai, has similar character traits to Yozo Oba. Fans of manga and anime are turning to the original No Longer Human novel, whose themes of alienation from society and an inability to reconcile social appearances with inner self--told with great wit, irony and pathos--strike a deep chord among readers today.

**Recommended for readers ages 16+ due to mature themes and graphic content**

This book is your ultimate guide to Japan's scariest creatures!

Yokai come in every imaginable shape and form--from frightening ghosts and cruel demons to cute fairies and enchanted animals. They can be evil monsters, harmless tricksters or prophets of doom, depending on their inclination.

This book profiles 100 of the most fascinating Yokai, including:

• Tengu: A powerful Yokai that often takes human form with wings and a large nose who lives in mountains and forests
• Kappa: A deadly Yokai that lives near rivers and drags passersby into the water to drown
• Peroritaro: A grotesque Yokai that looks like blubbering child and has an appetite for greedy children
• Baku: A monstrous Yokai with an elephant's head, a bear's body, a rhino's eyes, an ox's tail and a tiger's legs that aids humans by devouring their nightmares
• And many more!

Yokai expert Masami Kinoshita has been documenting Yokai in folklore, and in real life, for many years. This book presents her most interesting findings and has over 175 full-color illustrations that vividly depict the appearances of these weird creatures. No matter their origins, each Yokai has a strange and wonderful story that is sure to amaze you!

Taking a practical approach to color, Color: A workshop for artists and designers is an invaluable resource for art students and professionals alike. With its sequence of specially designed assignments and in-depth discussions, it effectively bridges the gap between color theory and practice to inspire confidence and understanding in anyone working with color. This third edition is updated with more contemporary examples drawn not just from painting, but from textiles, graphic design, illustration and animation. An expanded discussion of digital techniques, new assignments and a refreshed design have all been brought together to create a highly readable and relevant text.

A tale of high adventure and survival!

In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto searches the wilderness of Hokkaido for a hoard of hidden gold. With only a cryptic map and a native Ainu girl to help him, Saichi must also deal with every murderous cutthroat, bandit and rogue who knows about the treasure!

Asirpa's quest to find out about her father has led her to a Russian prison on the frozen coast of Karafuto in hopes of breaking out Sofia, a former revolutionary. Sofia was also the leader of the group that Kiroranke and Wilk belonged to and she may be able to shed more light on Asirpa's father. But the truth about Wilk might ultimately be more than she can bear. Sugimoto and his party draw closer to catching up with Asirpa--and when they do, old scores will be settled.

People lie more than they think they do. The average adult tells about a lie a day. Sometimes more, sometimes serious ones, sometimes the small social ones that grease conversations.

The cost of missing the serious ones can be enormous. Bad partners. Bad hires. Bad business deals. Marriages built on a story that wasn't true.

This book teaches what to look for.

Not pop science. Not "if they touch their nose they're lying." The real cluster of signals - the ones investigators, profilers, and high-stakes negotiators learn to read.

Inside:

- The seven categories of deception cues. Verbal, physical, vocal. Each with specifics.
- Microexpressions - Paul Ekman's research, distilled. Seven universal faces. Each lasts a fifth of a second. Each tells you what's actually going on.
- Speech patterns of liars. Specific tics. Real examples.
- The questioning technique that makes deception harder to maintain. Used by police, useful in any conversation where the truth matters.
- Why "shifty eyes" is a myth. The actual gaze pattern that signals fabrication.
- How body language differs in spontaneous lies vs. rehearsed ones. Most beginners conflate them.
- Cognitive load methods - how to push someone's brain to the point where the lie cracks.

Some readers learn this and start spotting it everywhere - in family, at work, in interviews, in the news. The shift can be uncomfortable. It's also permanent.

Read it carefully. Practice in low-stakes conversations. The skill builds over months.

French Beading is a bead-and-wire art from the Renaissance used primarily to make flowers. Learn the art from professional designer Lauren Harpster in this new publication. While it is made specifically for beginners who've never touched beads or wire, it is also an excellent resource for experienced French Beading artists.

This title is an instruction manual that goes along with my Learn French Beading: Beginner Course video series on my website. Instructions for accessing the course videos are included inside the book. It contains instructions for beginner-level techniques and four practice flower patterns (Lavender, Dame's Rocket, Wild Clematis, and Black-Eyed Susan).

-Part 1 is the "Getting Started" guide. This section explores tools, beads, wire, and other supplies in detail, though not all of them will be necessary for this course.

-Part 2 is the "Technique Guide", which contains six lessons that teach the basic techniques: Continuous Loops, Continuous Crossover Loops, Continuous Wraparound Loops, Fringe, Basic Frame, and Lacing. These lessons are important for learning French Beading terms and abbreviations, and how to read French Beading patterns. There are also some variations of the techniques that are not used in the practice patterns, but are included for education and reference. This section is also intended to be a one-stop technique reference so you can quickly look up specific techniques while working with other flower patterns.

-Part 3 contains four wildflower patterns that I've developed specifically for helping you practice the base techniques learned in Part 2 - Lavender, Dame's Rocket, Wild Clematis, and Black-Eyed Susan. The patterns have been written with beginners in mind and contain a high level of detail, so they're a great way to dip your toes into the art. This section is important for seeing practical application of the techniques, reinforcing the ability to read patterns, and learning how to assemble and shape a variety of flowers.

-Part 4 will demonstrate how to arrange the flowers from Part 3 to make a wildflower arrangement. I am not a professional florist, but I'd like to share what I've learned about arranging beaded flowers. This section is included only in the book version of the course.
