AMBROSE BIERCE - The City of the Goneaway - and 67 other stories of the supernatural and the weird. Before he trailed off into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again, Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as "bitter Bierce" and "the devil's lexicographer." He left behind a nasty reputation and more than ninety short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. The stories in this volume represent an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. In their iconoclasm and needle-sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity and element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierce's time.
Kurdistan and its people is a book based on history about the Kurd. Kurdistan is divided into four and this four part is ruled by the government of that region that tends to make the people slave in their own land.The people need a country to call home and peace of mind to live in their land with freedom of speech and worship.

Ambrose Vise's indefatigable life spanned the early defining years of Australia and the Australian spirit-and he lived it to the fullest. After almost becoming a lawyer and frustrated with the opportunities available to him, Ambrose Vise left England for Australia only 100 years after Captain Cook had landed, following the promise of the Australian gold rush. 'Of course, I knew nothing of the conditions of life there, or that most of the goldfields had already been worked out...' Join Ambrose E. Vise as he recounts the story of his life since leaving England in 1888 on the Garonne as a 24 year old. Ambrose recounts vividly his life as a shearer, storekeeper, gold miner, and fruit farmer, and father in outback Queensland. Ambrose completes his autobiography in 1950 as an established member of the Buderim community (visit Vise Road), reflecting on his life and journey. 'The energy and initiative in recording his memoirs in such bright and breezy fashion is to be commended and I feel sure that all who read them will find them to be not only useful and interesting but also very enjoyable reading.' - Sir Francis Nicklin, Premier of Queensland, 1957-1968 'A good yarn' - David Wood, Vice President Buderim Historical Society
Are You Making These Mistakes In Your Writing? Amusing and thought-provoking, this A-to-Z compendium outlines common oral and written gaffes. Ambrose Bierce, a celebrated literary wit, assembled his informative compilation in 1909 from many years of observations and notes. He advocates precision in language, offering alternatives to grammatical lapses and inaccurate word choices. Times and usages have changed considerably in the past century. Bierce's strict rules remain, however, a timeless source of interest for wordsmiths and lovers of language. Bierce wrote this little book as a guide to improving writing. He states that precision is the key. Choosing the exact word and using it correctly is essential. Colloquialisms and vulgar language have no place is serious writing. A writer must use his values in determining what is appropriate. The lessons Bierce gives in this book are as appropriate today as they were a century ago. Get Your Copy Now
