dealt? There’s no need to use tarot cards to learn what the
future holds; a regular deck of playing cards will do the trick—
as long as you know how to read them. With this easy-tofollow guide, anyone can learn how to translate the four suits
of the tarot into the more familiar hearts, diamonds, spades, and
clubs. It begins by describing the meaning of the cards; their
individual symbolism, keywords, and astrological associations;
and the significance of their numbers. Would-be fortune tellers
can then delve further into card-reading history and different
(yet interrelated) strands of interpretation—including the
Romany method, which uses a reduced pack of thirty-two cards,
and the “Petit Normand” system, derived from the work of
Marie Anne Lenormand, who read cards for Empress Josephine.
Each section showcases a series of spreads at the end, and
tip boxes occur frequently throughout, providing advice and
fascinating historical background. Special advice on interpretation includes an in-depth look at traditional romantic games
and readings. There are even suggestions on how to do a quick
reading when you’re short on time—so you’ll always know
what’s in the cards!

twenty-five thousand students and three
thousand professionals—later, Megan is ready
to share her groundbreaking technique for
reading picture books with young children.
Chapters cover subjects like trim size and

typography, and more. With examples from
well-known books, discover how a picture

together to tell a story and how incorporating
these elements into the reading of the story
enhances a child’s learning and love of reading.

cept of reality. That’s why we take endless pleasure in them, trying
to figure out why. But what if you want to do more? What if you
actually want to create your very own amazing images? To do that,
you need to have an in-depth knowledge of the process.
Gianni Sarcone dissects the most mystifying and magical illusions, revealing the logic behind their patterns and tiling, and explaining how they work. He delves into the importance of blank
spaces, negative space, interferences, repetitive geometric textures,
and more—all part of the palette an “op artist” uses to produce powerful illusions and visual surprises. Once you understand these techniques, you’re able to let your creativity flow as freely as you’d like.
Draw curves that diverge and converge, diamonds that vibrate and
flicker, hypnotic spirals, “ghosts” and ambiguous figures, and other
astonishing illusions. You’ll even learn how to produce the “impossible”: perplexing images of things that could and should not exist in
the real world—but can come straight out of your imagination to
live on the page. And illustrating all the instructions are Sarcone’s
own magnificent pieces. They include recent and revisited optical
effects, plus demonstrations and tips for inspiration.
For anyone fascinated by how the brain works and how the eye
sees, this guide is mind-blowing!

Here is the intimate story of Peter, Paul, and Mary and their
music, with stirring images that follow their fifty year journey to
the center of America’s heart. The very best of thousands of photographs taken over five decades by some of the world’s top
photographers follow them from their earliest performances in
the 1960s. Follow the trio as they lead America to discover the
passionate soul of folk music. Join the struggle for racial equality, social justice, and freedom in this memorable journey—from
the historic 1963 March on Washington with Martin Luther
King, Jr., to the trio’s appearance before a half million people in
1969 to end the Vietnam War, to their singing at the Hollywood
Bowl for Survival Sunday in 1978 helping to launch the antinuke movement.
Peter, Paul, and Mary’s songs of defiant hope are still a powerful part of our American consciousness, and this book reenacts
the history of how the trio marked our lives with their indelible
stamp of honesty of the sort we yearn to recapture and recreate
again—for ourselves, our children, and the generations to come.

Everyone wants to achieve balance and joy in life—and two surefire
ways to de-stress are doing yoga and downing your favorite cocktail
(or two). So why not combine both in a single, awesome, unbeatable
“workout?” Now you can, with this exciting new way to do yoga at the
most unexpected times possible. It’s the perfect distillation of drink
and exercise, where yogis and yoginis can share the sheer joy of movement with everyone and the classic bar stool replaces the floor mat.
Photographed in some of the most legendary bars and restaurants in
New Orleans, but you can do these poses at home, on your own stool
or chair. Bonus: includes matching cocktail recipes so that you have
the perfect drink for each yoga pose. But remember: for safety’s sake,

better way to extend your happy hour!

the science, technique, and philosophy behind their images.
The foreword is by John Langdon, famous for his ambigrams and the inspiration for Dan Brown’s Professor Robert
Langdon in The Da Vinci Code. Scott Kim, acclaimed designer
who has created puzzles for Lumosity and a variety of
computer and mobile games, including Tetris and Bejeweled,
provides a thought-provoking epilogue.
Optical illusions intrigue the mind and delight the eye.
Viewers try to perceive the visual shifts in a two-dimensional
picture, but can’t understand how a single, still image can be
so animated and rich. Compiled by visual graphics expert Brad
Honeycutt and puzzle master Terry Stickels—and featuring a
foreword by renowned puzzle creator, computer game designer, and artist Scott Kim—this collection showcases over
two hundred of the finest images.

Optical illusions can amaze, amuse, confuse and fool the
viewer. They remind us that we do not see the world as it is,
but only filtered through our own perceptions. This stunning
collection captures the full breadth of the form, from composite images and trompe l’oeil to tricks of perspective and the absolutely impossible. These mysterious illusions will fascinate
and enchant anyone who loves art, science, and magic.

These beautiful picture puzzles all contain a mystery: hidden
or camouflaged figures that play tricks on your eyes. Some may
blend into the background. One image may conceal another.
Even though our brain tries to pinpoint and focus on the richly
detailed designs, it just can’t. And because of their complexity,
these illusions fascinate our eyes, stimulate our minds, and
expand our imagination.
The diverse puzzles each illustrate a different form of illusion. There’s even a crossword puzzle grid with a hiding place
tucked inside. The accompanying captions explain the visual
and psychological processes that allow these illusions to
work—and make them endlessly compelling.

projects instead? It’s easy, entertaining, and a great way to
while away the hours in boring business meetings. From
“Snakes on a Desk” to a “Toy Froggy,” these projects are far
more enjoyable than working!

The DNA sequence that makes up the human genome—the genetic blueprint found in
each of our cells—is undoubtedly the greatest code ever to be broken.
Yet this discovery has also opened a Pandora’s box of questions about who we are and
how the unique information stored in our genomes can and might be used. Dr. John
Quackenbush, renowned scientist and professor, conducts a fascinating tour of the history and science behind the Human Genome Project and the technologies that are revolutionizing medicine today.
He examines how DNA-sequencing technology is changing how we think of ourselves
as a species, by providing new insights about our earliest ancestors and reconfirming our
inextricable link to all life on earth. And he explores the legal and ethical questions surrounding such controversial topics as stem cell research, prenatal testing, forensics, and cloning,
making this an indispensable resource for navigating our brave new genomic world.

A Journey to Bilateral Hearing

When she was a teenager, Arlene Romoff gradually began to lose her hearing, until no
hearing aid or other standard device could help her. She had become profoundly deaf.
Then a marvel of modern technology changed her life: cochlear implants, which bypass
the damaged portion of the cochlea and stimulate the auditory nerve directly. Arlene
could hear again—until ten years later, when the implant failed and she had to depend
once more on a medical miracle: a new, state-of-the-art bilateral cochlear implant.
Arlene’s journey isn’t just about the magic of technology, but about the strength of the
human spirit, the wonders of chance and fate, and the ability to make the most of what
life dishes out.

The perfect crime can leave you flabbergasted, thrilled, chilled, amazed, or just
downright impressed. But let’s face it: Most lawbreakers end up shooting themselves
in the foot—and honestly, that’s way more fun to read about. So here we pay tribute
to the comic blunderers whose antics land them in police cuffs faster than you can
say “He went thatta way!” And if it won’t solve the mystery of why these miscreants
do what they do, at least it will aid and abet you in the laughter department. For a
little extra credit, take the Celebrity Crime Quiz.
