For everyone who appreciates that humor--and especially for those too serious about golf to crack a smile--Dibs on His Clubs! parades the lighter side of this sport enjoyed by millions. Dibs on His Clubs! is AMP's first book with Steve Moore, the cartoonist and creative genius behind the In the Bleachers daily panel, now syndicated to newspapers throughout the U.S. Steve narrows his normal general sports focus to golf, a game that captivates everyone from avid amateurs to those who enjoy watching multimillionaire athletes at work. Steve brings his trademark wacky characters and outrageous situation comedy to every frame of this golf-guffawing collection. Dibs on His Clubs! comes richly illustrated in Moore's sparse but dead-on drawing style. His paunchy duffers are delightful. His players' expressions are outrageous. And no other cartoonist working today finds more ways to inject the timely and the totally-off-the-wall aspects of sports into his work. This book's a humor hole in one for everyone who ever picked up a club, or who simply appreciates seeing a great comedic mind at the top of his game.

Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Four newly widowed women face the shock of their lives in this novel from a New York Times–bestselling “consummate storyteller” (Debbie Macomber). David Logan is a con man with four wives he plays like a deck of cards—until a car accident deals him a dead man’s hand. Now the women he lied to—who thought they were happily settled down with the man of their dreams—have their lives turned upside down by a knock on their doors. All but one of them are left penniless and about to lose their homes, and all of them are too shocked to grieve. Finding out they’d been deceived was bad enough, but coming face to face with each other at the funeral home wasn’t quite what they’d expected. Before the day was over, the first wife—the only legal one—made them an offer they couldn’t refuse… From Sharon Sala, a winner of numerous honors including the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award, this is a poignant, funny story of four women wrestling with betrayal, grief, and anger—and finding hope for the future in their unexpected friendship. Praise for Sharon Sala’s novels: “A well-written, fast-paced ride.” —Publishers Weekly “There are not many authors who can write a story with such depth and emotion.” —RT Book Reviews

Autism and Representation
Author: Mark Osteen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135911487
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
Autism, a neuro-developmental disability, has received wide but often sensationalistic treatment in the popular media. A great deal of clinical and medical research has been devoted to autism, but the traditional humanities disciplines and the new field of Disability Studies have yet to explore it. This volume, the first scholarly book on autism in the humanities, brings scholars from several disciplines together with adults on the autism spectrum to investigate the diverse ways that autism has been represented in novels, poems, autobiographies, films, and clinical discourses, and to explore the connections and demarcations between autistic and "neurotypical" creativity. Using an empathetic scholarship that unites professional rigor with experiential knowledge derived from the contributors’ lives with or as autistic people, the essays address such questions as: In what novel forms does autistic creativity appear, and what unusual strengths does it possess? How do autistic representations--whether by or about autistic people--revise conventional ideas of cognition, creativity, language, (dis)ability and sociability? This timely and important collection breaks new ground in literary and film criticism, aesthetics, psychology, and Disability Studies.
