The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits is a reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s famous “nonsense” poem. By subverting the original characters and expanding the narrative through symbolic illustration, this work blends absurdist humor with unexpected emotional depth and playful introspection.

The story follows the Bellman and his eclectic crew—a group brought together by only a common restlessness—as they embark on their hunt in a strange land, which appears to be just the place to find the elusive Snark. But as they travel deeper into this distorted world, their efforts become increasingly fragmented and they find far more than Snarks awaiting them.

Told through a series of vignettes and side quests, the tale unfolds like a riddle. Just like each character’s ambitions, each Fit is self-contained but laced with visual clues that echo and connect the crew’s experiences across the work. Each walk of life faces unique trials on their path, and the hunt always yields a discovery—though never the one that was sought.

Richly layered with hints, metaphor, and hidden references, The Hunting of the Snark is both a tribute and a transformation of Lewis Carroll’s chaotically brilliant poem; presenting a surreal and beautiful journey about identity, longing, and the price of obsession while finding purpose amongst the nonsense of life.

Before you speak, your body has already communicated your message.

The problem? Most professionals have no idea what their body is actually saying.

This practical playbook equips you with the invisible tools used by top deal-makers, negotiators, and leaders who influence others without raising their voices.

In negotiations, leadership conversations, sales meetings, and presentations, people form impressions within seconds. Long before you finish your first sentence, your posture, gestures, eye contact, and micro-signals shape how others interpret your confidence, credibility, and authority.

It’s not luck. It’s nonverbal mastery — the quiet language that determines who leads and who follows.

Instead of theory, this book provides more than 100 clear tools, structured techniques, and actionable exercises you can apply in real professional situations.

Drawing on years of experience analyzing nonverbal communication in business environments, Tetyana Didenko, a nonverbal communication analyst, combines real-world case studies, behavioral and neuroscience insights, and practical methods to show how subtle signals shape trust, decision-making, and leadership perception.

Inside this playbook, you will learn how to:

• command attention the moment you enter a room
• influence decisions before the conversation begins
• read people with precision and detect hidden resistance
• eliminate nonverbal habits that weaken your authority
• guide conversations toward agreement without pressure

This book is designed for professionals who want practical methods they can apply immediately, including:

• leaders and executives
• entrepreneurs and business owners
• sales professionals
• negotiators and consultants
• professionals who want to strengthen their influence and presence

Mastering nonverbal communication gives you an advantage that words alone cannot provide.

Because in many professional situations, the outcome is shaped before the conversation even begins.

Some places hold you longer than you expect.

Paperbacks & Baguettes unfolds in a bookstore café - paperbacks, coffee, food; early mornings and late closings; regulars who linger and staff who notice what others miss. Exchanges begin to matter: a scarf left loose, a mug still warm, a playlist quietly shared. Closeness forms - not through grand gestures, but through attention. A love story told sideways, shaped by presence rather than plot, and by care rather than drama. It belongs as much to the room and its people as to any single pair.

Across a lifetime marked by love, loss, ambition, addiction, and fatherhood, a sensitive yet self-destructive man must surrender the comforting illusions of innocence and learn that adulthood begins with taking responsibility for the life—and family—he nearly loses.

The anniversary edition of We the Presidents, published on July 4, 2026, commemorates the 250th Anniversary of American Independence. The new edition has been extensively updated from the acclaimed first edition to reflect recent events including a new chapter on the Biden presidency and an epilogue covering the first year of Donald Trump's second term.

Rather than a traditional presidential history, We the Presidents focuses on how a century of presidents, from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump, have shaped today's America. Many of today's critical issues ─ immigration, inflation, income disparity, civil discord, and wars ─ had their roots in earlier presidencies. Tracing the path from the nineteen-twenties and Warren G. Harding to the controversial presidencies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, We the Presidents explores the growth of presidential power and the changing role of the executive. With over 140 images and charts, many in color, We the Presidents brings their lessons alive.

As one Amazon reviewer commented, "We the Presidents is more than an absorbing read; it is a compelling education on the issues which have shaped the American century up to the present day."
