Most people think of libraries as solemn places filled with dusty books and dustier people. This "memoir and more" of a career librarian explodes that misconception. Recounting his years behind the reference desk with an emphasis on the strange behavior of patrons, the author shows that public libraries are anything but staid and quiet. The history of libraries--as long as the history of the written word itself--is also discussed. That libraries have grown as colorful as the society they serve is proof that these essential institutions are as vital as ever.

"I fully realize that my discussion of the mental climate of collecting will confirm many of you in your conviction that this passion is behind the times, in your distrust of the collector type. Nothing is further from my mind than to shake either your conviction or your distrust." Walter Benjamin was one of the great cultural critics of the twentieth century. In Unpacking My Library he offers a strikingly personal meditation on his career as a book collector and on the strange relations that spring up between objects and their owners. Witty, erudite and often moving, this book will resonate with bibliophiles of all kinds. Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.

Centuries after the Plague, the only library on terraformed Luna had been destroyed in a horrific fire. Was the restoration of humanity’s greatness lost? Charles Fasail, raised a scholar but orphaned by the Great Burn and enslaved as a dock worker in an illiterate culture, has now come into possession of the most powerful weapon on Luna and it seems like nearly everyone wants him dead. Facing the ugly truth that his dream of rebuilding his homeland might be a lost cause, Charles finds himself with great power and no goal to give his life meaning. Reaching out to one of his only friends, they realize that perhaps there still exists a library they could use to restore literacy to Luna, off in the abandoned L5 colonies in space. Charles has the only spaceship left on the forested world, the only way to reach those books, but that just might increase the number of people who wanted him and the ship destroyed! The High Quest is the second book of the Lunar Alpine trilogy. Henry Melton has been crafting the Project history line since the 70s, building an alternate history of mankind that stretches from the current day to a new destiny among the stars.

Jack London's works, known for their naturalistic themes and vivid storytelling, capture the essence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection includes his well-known novels like 'The Call of the Wild' and 'White Fang', as well as his lesser-known essays and plays, providing readers with a complete picture of London's literary genius. London's writing style is engaging and thought-provoking, offering insights into the human condition and the wild beauty of nature. His works stand the test of time and continue to inspire readers around the world. Jack London, a prolific writer and adventurer, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a seaman, laborer, and gold prospector. His socialist beliefs and love for the wilderness shaped his writing, leading to the creation of some of the most enduring works in American literature. London's passion for social justice and exploration infuses his writing with a sense of urgency and authenticity. I highly recommend The Works of Jack London to any reader interested in literature that explores the depths of human nature and the untamed beauty of the natural world. London's timeless works continue to resonate with readers of all ages, making this collection a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the mind of one of America's greatest storytellers.

Learn about the most important concepts surrounding web development and demystify jQuery. This book gives you the confidence to abandon your jQuery crutches and walk freely with the power of the web API and JavaScript. Beyond jQuery doesn't just throw code at you - everything is explained in detail from the perspective of a jQuery developer. jQuery is often injected into web applications and libraries with no logical reason for pulling it in as a dependency. Many web developers don’t really know when they need to use jQuery, and when they don’t - it's just a standard step when setting up a new library or web application. But relying solely on jQuery as your window to the web leaves large gaps in your knowledge. This in turn results in frustration when the abstraction that jQuery provides “leaks” and exposes you to the native aspects of the browser. This book educates developers, reveals the magic behind jQuery, helps you solve common problems without it, and gives you more confidence to embrace the power of the web API and standardized JavaScript. What You'll Learn Use the web API and standardized JavaScript Determine when you need jQuery and when you don't Review common JavaScript utility functions Work with HTML elements Who This Book Is For Any web developer who is interested in learning how to live without jQuery, and deepening their understanding of web development.
