This book is about how the average person can get rich. It is written for those with little or no savings who have a modest income and no college degree. These challenges make it hard to get rich, but How to Get Rich presents information to make it possible. This book is not about how to get rich quickly due to luck but rather how to live life and think in certain ways that will bring you wealth through design.It is not easy to get rich, but this book offers a simple, straightforward path. It begins by asking if you have the eight necessary characteristics to achieve wealth. It then presents the method the richest man in Babylon used to get rich, including his seven cures for a lean purse and five rules of gold. A full chapter is devoted to how to get a high-paying job without a college degree and discusses four points to keep in mind when choosing one. Two chapters provide basic financial knowledge and important information about common stocks and which to invest in. Stock gurus Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and Forbes's eleven points of agreement on stock investing are presented along with their views on what not to do.The final chapters deal with four things that enhance wealth, like saving through an investment savings account and budgeting, along with suggestions on how to improve on them, and four things that detract from wealth like inflation and debt, along with solutions to avoid them. Throughout the book, twenty-seven rules of how to get rich are developed and conclusively summarized. The final chapter offers a bigger philosophic view of the relationship between wealth and happiness. If you want to get rich, read this book, and if you want to be happy, read the last chapter.

A Reader's Companion III, 3,500 words and phrases avid readers should know is the third in a trilogy of books on words. Some of the words are included in this edition because they are similar like immanent, which means existing within or inherent in something, eminent which means of superior position and imminent which means about to happen. A phoneme is the smallest speech sound that distinguishes one word from another that carries the words meaning, so there are subtle phonemes that distinguish immanent, eminent and imminent. Most think a sieve is a utensil but in reality it is any device used for separating wanted and unwanted material. Contrasting words in this edition include pecunious, which means having money and impecunious which means having no money. An astronaut is one trained to travel and perform tasks in space is contrasted with intranaut who is an individual who explores their own mind in search of meaning. Pertinacity, which means to be resolute in purpose is contrasted with impertinent which means to be brash. Some root word derivations are included like illicit, which means illegal and licit which means legal. Finally, some words describe different relations. In marriage most know monogamy means being married to only one person at a time and perhaps polygamy which means having more than one spouse at the same time. But there is also polyandry or having more than one husband at the same time, exogamy which is the custom of marrying outside one's social group and endogamy which is the custom of marrying a member of one's social group. This is a good book for avid readers who want to improve their vocabulary.

This is a story about a low-born boy named Tupac who becomes the warrior chief savior of his Hidalgo tribe told through the eyes of Aztec the tribes head warrior. In his youth Tupac struggled against an oppressive caste system that denied him warrior status and endured the loss of his love Yoatl. His tribe faced fearsome mountain lions called pumas, a brutal cannibal tribe called the Chiapas and their evil chief Coyotl and rapacious Spanish invaders, all of whom endeavored to enslave his tribe. To save it Aztec teaches Tupac warriorship because he thinks he is a spirit from the ages and with his new skills Tupac builds a new city of god called Esperanza. In the process Tupac creates a new culture that changed religion, government and the role of women. To defend Esperanza Tupac and Aztec fight many fierce battles with the help of five young boys (who learned to fire an arquebus) and a young deformed woman (who skillfully learned the bow and arrow). Resourceful, resilient and courageous warrior spirit Tupac imbued in future Hidalgo generations the need to overcome oppressive artificial societal norms, to use the mind to solve problems and the spirit of courage.
412 CE: From a dinner party in Verulamium, two journeys begin through the chaos and confusion of the late Roman Empire from Britannia, through Gaul and on to Rome. Ophelia Ursina, daughter of the governor of Britannia Prima, is seeking freedom and security. Drusus Astrebanus, so of the governor's arch enemy, is seeking vengeance for the death of his brother and the return of his family's property and status. In the wake of the failed uprising of General Flavius Claudius Constantinus, the usurper and co-Emperor Constantine III, the risks have only become greater as barbarians from the east infest the fading state. The rule of law no longer applies, and violence becomes the only defense. This is a dangerous world for men, and even more so for women.
