"Dealing With Difficult People" author event Sat. February 6th!

Florey's Books invites you to meet local author Cheryl Joseph as she discusses her book "Dealing With Difficult People - It's a Zoo Out There"

***Saturday, February 6th, 2-4pm***

Ever feel like you have been attacked by a lion, poisoned by a viper, or confronted by a mule when you haven't even left home turf? If so, "Dealing With Difficult People: It's a Zoo Out There" is the book for you! Let's face it: whether it is your boss; teacher; spouse; coworker; parent; or best friend, people can sometimes be beastly. Written by a sociologist with many years in the corporate world, as a university professor, and a lover of animals, this book explores effective communication techniques by tenderly and humorously comparing stereotypic behavior of various animals to that of challenging people. Brimming with insight, this book also contains many attractive and colorful photographs of the animals it discusses, making it as enjoyable and fun to read as it is useful in any social situation where difficult people lurk.

"Shadow of the Imago" author event, Saturday, January 23rd!

Florey's Books invites you to meet local author Gustav Tjgaard as he discusses his new book "Shadow of the Imago".

***Saturday, January 23rd, 2-4pm***

-About the book:
This book is a memoir of Simon, of an adolescent year in the Arcadian San Juan Archipelago of Puget Sound, a northwestern version of the Greek Aegean. Simon, a pubescent Odysseus, matured in this islanded environment of boats, fishermen, sailors and yachtsmen, all drawn to his father’s boatyard by their common love of the sea. Soon into the story Simon begins to appreciate the attributes of Zoë, a blond nymphet of Swedish extraction. Together they learn something of sailing and something of life. Yes, even in the primordial 1930s some teenagers were tempted by Eve’s apple, and yes, Zoë and Simon savored a bit of that pome. The carnal appetite of Simon’s father brought their fledgling love to a catastrophic denouement. The relationship deteriorated into a circumstance that resulted in Simon being exiled as a ship’s boy aboard a lumber schooner engaged in the China trade.

-About the author:
Born on Decatur Island of the San Juan Archipelago of the State of Washington. Served as a sailor, in trade with the Orient, on the last and largest Windjammer (Vigilant) to sail commercially. Was a para-trooper in Europe during WW II. After the war, he took a degree in mining at the University of Alaska's School of Mines. He later lived and worked with the Tlingets in Alaska.

"Energy Free: Homes for a Small Planet" book event, January 9th!

Florey's invites you to meet Pacifica author Ann Edminster as she discusses her new book "Energy Free:
Homes for a Small Planet".

***Saturday, January 9th, 2-4 pm***

-About the book:
Energy Free is designed to equip building professionals and homeowners alike with a toolkit for creating homes that use no more energy than they produce—this means homes that are free from the vagaries of energy-price fluctuations and that help to free society of the high political and environmental costs of fossil fuels.

Individuals and institutions have been working toward "zero-energy" homes for decades. This volume is the first record of those collective efforts, distilling their experience into a practical and comprehensive how-to guide. The author includes resource information and step-by-step guidance on how to make decisions that will yield an energy-free residential project, whether a single-family home or multifamily building, new or existing, in an urban or a rural setting. The unique needs and opportunities of each context are addressed.
