Over 700 English language quotations chosen to provide a wide range of thoughtful expressions which can be used when having just the right words is critical. The quotes are authored by entertainers, philosophers, educators, scientists and a host of other professionals and artists. These writers and thinkers are as old as Cicero and as current as Donald Trump. The authors' date of birth (and death-if applicable) and a brief description of his or her work or place in society is also provided. These quotations have been organized according to subject matter: dealing first with typical life stages from birth to death and then with themes such as positive vs negative emotions; health, diet and exercise and various social features and issues. This collection (Vol. 1) is intended as a jumping off point for additional volumes in this series which will each deal with a different topic such as depression, anxiety, well-being, etc.

"Designs in Nature" reproduced 100 color plates created by Ernst Haekel (1834-1919). In the main, these were drawings of animals, sea creatures and shells - most of them seldom seen outside biology textbooks or museum exhibits. The same 100 plates have been rendered in black and white to create "Designs in Nature: The Coloring Book". Each is produced at the same size as the colored version and on a separate sheet to make coloring and removal of individual images easier.
