Book Description
A repackaging of the popular The Best of the Rejection Collection in a smaller, more compact format with 20% new material. It's the best of the worst, with 293+ of the funniest cartoons rejected by The New Yorker, including some of the magazine's most recognizable talents--like Roz Chast, Sam Gross, and David Sipress, plus some of its brightest new stars like Amy Hwang, Amy Kurzweil, Ellis Rosen, and Hallie Bateman, showing off their dark side, their naughty side, their juvenile side. It's hilarious.

Book Description
What is it like to receive a life-saving organ transplant? On April 13, 1997, I received new lungs. Blow the House Down details my story. It illustrates how Cystic Fibrosis affected my life and how I fought it. This book reflects the immense generosity of so many people, including my donor and her family; my family and friends; people who donate to Cystic Fibrosis research and drive major scientific breakthroughs; and doctors, nurses, and physical therapists who toil hard day in and day out to restore our health. Together, we each have the power to cure disease. Charles Tolchin received a double lung transplant in April of 1997. He now works in advertising for OgilvyInteractive, a division of Ogilvy & Mather. He has been published in National Lampoon Magazine, CBS Healthwatch.com, and the Congressional Record. For fun, he skis, plays ice-hockey, and lifts weights.

Book Description
Contributions by Jared N. Champion, Miriam M. Chirico, Thomas Clark, David R. Dewberry, Christopher J. Gilbert, David Gillota, Kathryn Kein, Rob King, Rebecca Krefting, Peter C. Kunze, Linda Mizejewski, Aviva Orenstein, Raúl Pérez, Philip Scepanski, Susan Seizer, Monique Taylor, Ila Tyagi, and Timothy J. Viator Stand-up comedians have a long history of walking a careful line between serious and playful engagement with social issues: Lenny Bruce questioned the symbolic valence of racial slurs, Dick Gregory took time away from the stage to speak alongside Martin Luther King Jr., and—more recently—Tig Notaro challenged popular notions of damaged or abject bodies. Stand-up comedians deploy humor to open up difficult topics for broader examination, which only underscores the social and cultural importance of their work. Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals draws together essays that contribute to the analysis of the stand-up comedian as public intellectual since the 1980s. The chapters explore stand-up comedians as contributors to and shapers of public discourse via their live performances, podcasts, social media presence, and political activism. Each chapter highlights a stand-up comedian and their ongoing discussion of a cultural issue or expression of a political ideology/standpoint: Lisa Lampanelli’s use of problematic postracial humor, Aziz Ansari’s merging of sociology and technology, or Maria Bamford’s emphasis on mental health, to name just a few. Taking a Stand offers a starting point for understanding the work stand-up comedians do as well as its reach beyond the stage. Comedians influence discourse, perspectives, even public policy on myriad issues, and this book sets out to take those jokes seriously.

Book Description
TO EAT, OR NOT TO EAT? That's a stupid question! The fat cat was born to binge, and while some might call it gluttony, Garfield prefers to think of it as eating proactively. Besides, someone needs to keep the surplus donut population under control. In this hilarious collection of comics, the heavyweight of humor tips the scales with a veritable metric ton of laughs.
