In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

In A Vulgar Art, Ian Brodie uses a folkloristic approach to stand-up comedy, engaging the discipline's central method of studying interpersonal, artistic communication and performance. Because stand-up comedy is a rather broad category, people who study it often begin by relating it to something they recognize - "literature" or "theatre"; "editorial" or "morality" - and analyze it accordingly. A Vulgar Art begins with a more fundamental observation: Someone is standing in front of a group of people, talking to them directly, and trying to make them laugh.

Pooches and Kiddies is both the sequel to Good With Dogs and Cats and a stand-alone novel chronicling a momentous year in the life of Healing Weintraub and his colorful family and friends: human, canine, and feline. Assisting Healing in helping dogs and cats resolve their difficulties with humans are Healing's wife Jahera and her mother Maahiah, Healing's daughter Tova, Healing's mother Naomi, Healing's sister Jean, and Tova's children, Raaz and Oz, delightful four-year-old twins.

Good With Dogs and Cats: The Adventures of Healing Weintraub is a novel about a man who helps dogs and cats resolve their difficulties with humans, and vice-versa. Set in the small town of Mercy on the far north coast of California, Good With Dogs and Cats spans a decade in the life of Healing Weintraub and his friends and relations, both animal and human. Mystery and romance and comedy abound in this poignant tale brimming with fascinating insights into the minds and hearts of dogs and cats and people.

Since 1968, Garry Trudeau (b. 1948) has brought his brand of political satire to bear on public figures, movie stars, heads of state, and even on himself. Trudeau has also advocated for artists' rights and challenged industry norms while keeping a decidedly low profile. In Garry Trudeau: Doonesbury and the Aesthetics of Satire, Kerry D. Soper traces the contribution of this groundbreaking artist. Trudeau is arguably the premier American political and social satirist of the last forty years. Amazingly, he achieved this on the comics page, rather than the editorial page.
