Understand the mind that created The Wealth of Nations - newly indexed and illustrated! In Adam Smith's first major work, he comprehensively explores morality and what it means to be a good person, through sympathetic examination of ethics, virtue, liberty, individual rights, and much more. First published in 1759, it remains tremendously relevant and valuable today, not only on its own merits as a readable and thorough exploration of human nature but as a priceless insight into the philosophical foundation on which the bible of economics, The Wealth of Nations, was built. This University of Life edition is newly indexed, and illustrated with scenes of the Scottish Englightenment. This is not a facsimille edition or a low-quality reprint; it has been newly typeset for a modern audience, at a large text size, for your reading pleasure. Note that this heirloom-quality edition is over four hundred pages long, whereas other, low-quality editions are around three hundred pages due to their small, uncomfortable text sizes. About the Series: The University of Life Library was founded to publish a uniform collection of beautiful, heirloom-quality volumes of the great works of politics, philosophy, economics, science and fiction, the reading of which could provide all people not only with great enjoyment but, at minimal expense, with the benefits of a traditional, classical education. The Library's titles are chosen to illustrate, reinforce, and promote further inquiry into those concepts and values that originated in the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome and, being expanded and improved-upon by the greatest minds of Europe and the Americas over many centuries, particularly during the Enlightenment, form the bedrock of Western civilization. Being the embodiment of the virtues enabling the creation of the United States of America, that nation most influenced by the Enlightenment's illumination, and founded upon its precepts, each title opens with an illustration of Columbia, based on John Gast's iconic 1872 painting, American Progress. Additionally, each title is illustrated with related scenes, and non-fiction titles are furnished with an extensive index of concepts, key phrases, people and places. We hope our editions can provide entertainment, education and inspiration to the young and mature alike. We strive to provide a collection of well-loved, widely-varied works that will take pride of place on the bookshelves of families and businesses for generations to come. "The true university of these days is a collection of books" - Thomas Carlyle About the Author: Adam Smith FRSA 16 June 1723 - 17 July 1790 was a Scottish economist, philosopher, and author. He was a moral philosopher, a pioneer of political economy, and was a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment era. He is best known for two classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). The latter, usually abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations, is considered his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics. Smith laid the foundations of classical free market economic theory. The Wealth of Nations was a precursor to the modern academic discipline of economics. In this and other works, he developed the concept of division of labour, and expounded upon how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity. Smith was controversial in his own day and his general approach and writing style were often satirised by Tory writers in the moralising tradition of William Hogarth and Jonathan Swift. In 2005, The Wealth of Nations was named among the 100 Best Scottish Books of all time. The minor planet 12838 Adamsmith was named in his memory.

MASTER THE BUILDING-BLOCKS OF THE GAME WITH MEMORABLE DEFINITIONS OF ALL 127 WORDS
Two-letter words are not only the basic building-blocks of Scrabble, they are the anchor-points upon which our most fantastic and high-scoring words depend. Creating words from our available tiles is only half the battle: fitting them into the existing words on the board is if anything the trickier part of the game.
The competitive Scrabble player must therefore develop a knowledge of and facility with these elusive two-letter words. There is simply no other way to take full advantage of the opportunities of the game. When you possess such an easy familiarity, your opponents will wonder how you are able to dominate the board and place your words with such apparent ease! This book gives you:
<ul>
<li>
Explanatory definitions of every allowed two-letter word, including interesting background facts and/or memorable etymological notes.</li>
<li>A mnemonic phrase after each definition, designed to encourage prompt recall by lodging the word in your memory, connected to a well-known saying, pun or mental image.</li>
<li>
Plural forms for all words, where applicable.</li>
<li>
Full reference word-lists arranged by starting and ending letters, which can assist memorization by repetition.</li>
<li>
Margin space for you to add your own phrases, drawings, etc.</li>
<li>
Pages for your own notes - also useful for writing in any new words to be added to the list in future.</li>
</ul>
Note: Two-letter words that are present in Collins Scrabble Words but not in the NASPA Word List are marked as such, as are plurals.

Make the Most of the Game – the Scrabble Player's Companion!: Score Sheets, Strategy, Tactics, High-Power Words, and Much More (UOL Mind)

From the Author\nWordle is immensely popular, with many millions of fans around the world. But what to do when you've already finished the daily puzzle, or when you can't play online? This book contains five hundred word puzzles that use exactly the same skills as Wordle for you to enjoy. 
Puzzles in this book are graded into Easy, Medium, Hard, and Fiendish, based on two factors. The first factor is the difficulty of the words used. 
Easy puzzles were created using around four hundred and fifty of the most common five-letter words in the English language. Medium puzzles use an expanded list of around six hundred and fifty five-letter words. Hard puzzles use a much longer list of over one thousand five-letter words. Fiendish puzzles use the entire dictionary of over nine thousand five-letter words! This list includes many surprising words that may be familiar to competitive Scrabble players, like "QAJAQ" (an alternate spelling of "KAYAK"), "PZAZZ" (an alternate spelling of "PIZZAZZ") and "PHPHT" (an expression of annoyance or frustration, as when bamboozled by a fiendish puzzle). They may seem bizarre, but all words in all puzzles are guaranteed authentic!The second difficulty factor relates to the amount of information you are given. Because each puzzle has a hint, there can be only one correct answer, but in some cases you may be given less information than others. Sometimes there are fewer known letters, and sometimes you are asked to figure out the word with fewer existing guesses. In all cases, however, a good player should be able to get the correct answer with the information provided—and a little luck!\nCan't wait for more Wordle?\nNo problem! Here are five hundred word puzzles that use exactly the same skills. You can do them at your own pace, wherever you like. Suitable for all ages and skill levels. Puzzles are sorted by difficulty into Easy, Medium, Hard and Fiendish levels. Too easy? Move up a level! The puzzles in this book help you train analytical skills and improve mental agility. Each increasing difficulty level uses a more elaborate vocabulary and requires greater finesse to beat the game. Fiendish-level puzzles can be a real challenge, even for dedicated word gamers! Big, full-size 8.5" x 11" format means large, clear text and plenty of space on the page for your notes - no more squinting at small print. Ideal for vacations, road trips, or any time you just want to take a relaxing break from screen time. Play solo, or with friends and family. A great way to get kids thinking logically!\nFive letters of fun!\nEach puzzle has a five-letter word for you to figure out. Previous guesses display in the puzzle, showing whether their letters are in the target word. When there's enough information for a good player to figure out the answer, it's your turn! Gray letters in white squares aren't in the word at all, so you can eliminate them. White letters in gray squares are in the word, but are in the wrong position. White letters in black squares are in the correct position. Use the alphabet tracker to cross out the eliminated letters so you can identify the remaining candidates and figure out the answer. Hints guide you in the right direction. If there are multiple possible answers, the hint lets you know your answer is correct. Hints are not on the same page as the puzzle, so you can choose whether or not you want to use them. Write your answer in the blank boxes at the bottom! All the answers are listed in the back.
