John Clare (1793 - 1864) was a farm labourer in the village of Helpstone, Northamptonshire, who became arguably England’s greatest nature poet. He rose to fame when his ‘Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery’ was published in 1820. His language preserves many local dialect words in a mixture of classical forms and heart-felt love of country life and nature. The poems in this collection are from his early career, and are largely free of pointers to his later mental illness. (Summary by David Barnes).

Capital, Volume I is the first of three volumes in Karl Marx’s monumental work, Das Kapital, and the only volume to be published during his lifetime, in 1867.Marx’s aim in Capital, Volume I is to uncover and explain the laws specific to the capitalist mode of production and of the class struggles rooted in these capitalist social relations of production.

I started in the field of career counseling in 2000 until 2014. But when I left that field to become the Marketing Director of Mvoss Creation, I started merging my "Product Branding" to "Personal Branding". I did not want to impose some of these skills in giving advice but rather make it more personal by addressing my "counsels" or advice to my son who is now going into college. But then, as teenagers, they would rather listen to their high school counselor which I think is smarter and more appropriate as I am now "rusty" on that part of counseling. But as I continue to evolve in the broader ...
