Jane Austen's classic novel about heartbreak and second chances, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Eight years ago, Anne Elliot followed the advice of Lady Russell, her only true friend, and broke off her engagement to the dashing young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. When Anne and the now wealthy Captain Wentworth cross paths years later, it is clear that he has neither forgotten--nor forgiven--their past. Can true love survive heartbreak? Who should we listen to in matters of the heart? Filled with Jane Austen's trademark wit, Persuasion is both a delightful romantic comedy and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.

Discover how Mount Tambora's catastrophic eruption plunged the world into darkness, altering the global climate and inspiring the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This remarkable story of disaster and survival is brought to life in a thrilling new illustrated novel from the award-winning author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes. The world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock. When Mount Tambora, a volcano on the edge of the Indonesian archipelago, erupted in April 1815, it was the largest explosion in recorded history. The land around Indonesia was a hellscape of fire and smoke. In the months and years that followed, the fallout--a cloud of impossibly fine ash-- spread through the atmosphere. It killed harvests on the other side of the world. It turned farmers into beggars and their children into orphans. It turned sunsets into molten nightmares. That same year, eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley fled England with poet Percy Shelley. While sheltering from the

He turns to the horizon, an essential feature that opens up perspectives and creates visual intrigue, serving as a metaphorical guide to the soul of the space. And

This charming Christmas story for children ages 3-7 explores the magic, wonder, and sense of community that are especially present during the holiday season. When the young narrator announces that Santa Claus has moved in next door, Mom, Dad, and big sister Liv are less than convinced. But it doesn't matter; the narrator is convinced. And the more she gets to know her new neighbor, the more certain she is that he is indeed Santa Claus (but she can't figure out where his reindeer are). It soon turns out that Santa Claus is very skilled at fixing things, and through his handyman kindness, he quickly becomes a good friend and neighbor to all who live on the street. So when he gets sick, the young narrator is quick to round up everyone in the community, who are all more than happy to help. But will Santa Claus be well in time for Christmas Eve?

本書以一隻與眾不同的撲滿小豬為主角，從一開始就打破「慢慢存錢」的傳統形象。Piggy 一心想快速達成存錢目標，四處搜刮零錢，沙發縫、口袋、洗衣籃，全都不放過，彷彿一台高速運轉的存錢機器。然而，急著前進的 Piggy 卻忘了最重要的事：耐心。他沒讀過撲滿使用手冊，也沒留意塞子是否放好，結果一路掉錢、目標落空。當忙碌與空虛同時出現，Piggy 才慢慢明白，真正的累積不是速度，而是持續與等待。本書以輕快的故事，帶出「慢慢來」的價值，讓孩子在笑聲中，理解存錢與成長其實很相似。Descended from a long line of patient, persistent savers, this piggy bank breaks the mold, flying in fast with a goal to gather cash. He's a supersonic saving machine! When his friends give him his first savings goal, Piggy hits the scene, rallying coins and cash in all the classic spots--from couch cushion to laundry pockets. Go pig or go home! But in his rush to save, Piggy leaves behind his stopper, and forgets to read The Official Bank Handbook, trailing the coins he's collected and failing to meet his savings goals. With his high-speed ways leaving him empty inside, Piggy must come to his cent-ces--reading the handbook, playing it cool, slowly saving, and paying with patience--if he ever wants to hit his goals and live up to the Bank name.
