- Hunting For Rare Books
By: Hector Cantu | - When it comes to rare books, James Gannon has some simple advice:
"Handle your books carefully, with clean hands," says the director of rare books at Dallas-based Heritage Auctions. "Do not over-open a book, do not keep collectible books in direct sunlight, and do not use a book as a coaster for your coffee cup!"

- Treat Your Staff Well
By: Terry S Vostor | - Sometimes it can be said that the best H.R. Human Resources staff are not the highly trained and most certified staff but a simple down to earth grandfather type management or supervisory member of the company or organization.

By: Todd Beardsley | - Todd Beardsley (November 30, 1835 April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Todd Beardsley, was a famous and popular American humorist, novelist, writer and lecturer.

- Reading These Four Authors Of Classical Literature Will Enable Anyone To Become A Better Writer
By: Robert L. Bacon | - From academicians to book critics to laic readers, each is often eager to recommend a list of authors who will provide aspiring writers with a sound foundation from which to build. Any suggestions should be revered, and it would be ridiculous for one person to state that her/his idea of quality prose is better than another's.
However, there are four aspects of the craft of writing that many who understand literature would argue have never been better addressed: Steinbeck's pe ...

- Writing - Understanding The Difference Between Voice And Tone
By: Robert L. Bacon | - One of the best ways to understand something is to provide different treatments of the subject. Thomas Mann's eight stories in the popular Vintage imprint with DEATH IN VENICE as the lead title is ideal to work from, since each story is written in a different voice. Yet his masterpiece, THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN, depicts his voice as a separate entity unto its own--and one could say this was Mann's true voice.
While the short stories in the DEATH IN VENICE Vintage compendium enable a ...

- Southern Gothic Writing In A Rose For Emily"' And To Kill A Mockingbird
By: Paul Thomson | - Southern Gothic is an American subgenre of the Gothic style, which is probably most familiar to you from the Bront sisters of Victorian England.

- A Rose For Emily: Memorializing The Anniversary Of William Faulkner's Death
By: Paul Thomson | - July 6, 2009 marks the forty-seventh anniversary of William Faulkners death. Although the date of someones demise isnt the kind of thing we typically celebrate (what, no piatas?), we must remember that Faulkners writing relied heavily on themes of death and decay, and that he would never have us flinch in the face of his or anyone elses mortality.
What Faulkner would have us flinch in the face of, apparently, was his writing, which teems with ...

- How To Be A Better Writer
By: Tom Aaron | - Writing is communication. The two most important facets of this are what we want to communicate and how we communicate it. Arthur Plotnik's quote shows us both of these facets:
You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.
In this article, I would like to discuss the first facet, what's burning inside. Pick up a William Faulkner novel and read. You can see what is burning ins ...

- April In The South
By: Nate Gillespie | - April is an important month in American history. The Civil War both began and ended in April; between the April of Fort Sumter and the April of Appomattox Court House, more than half a million Americans died on battlefields stretching from Pennsylvania to Arizona.
The North won the Civil War, of course, but in some ways the lines that divided blue from gray in the 1860s never completely went away. The South remains a different place from the rest of the country, its culture and history ...

- Blasts From The Past
By: Nate Gillespie | - Sometimes it seems that all is new in the world. New developments in science and technology roll out at a staggering pace, revolutionizing our day-to-day lives and enticing us with the promise of allowing us to boldly go where no man has gone before. (Or, at the very least, enticing us with ridiculously cool CGI effects in the new Star Trek movie.) Sometimes it seems like we'll soon all be communicating with each other only via Twitter.
But then sometimes it seems like the world isn't ...

By: Simon Reilly | - The Recession Is A Choice, What's Yours? financial advisor speaking presentation includes a segment on The Comfort Zone.
