Mark Twain once described golf as "a good walk spoiled." Most golfers have had a round (or two) where these words rang especially true. That is because golf is a game where failure is unavoidable. Every shot, every lie, is a unique event involving a multitude of intricate variables, any of which can cause a shot to go awry. But fear not-help is here!Former profession golfer Bob Glanville shares the knowledge he has gained from more than half a century of playing and teaching golf. In "Golf: The Game of Lessening Failures, " he teaches golfers to eliminate their golfing failures, one swing at a time. He dispenses his wit and wisdom through sixteen chapters that touch upon nearly every aspect of the game, including the equipment, the terminology, the etiquette, and the origins of the PGA. Through it all, readers learn to improve their game physically and mentally, as well as by using a set of clubs that will help them get the most out of every swing. The course awaits.

"This CrazyThing Called Life" entertains with humorous comments and pictures, but all the while it provokes thought about a multitude of subjects that we all experience on the roller coaster ride of life.

Taking up the role of laughter in society, How the Other Half Laughs: The Comic Sensibility in American Culture, 1895-1920 examines an era in which the US population was becoming increasingly multiethnic and multiracial. Comic artists and writers, hoping to create works that would appeal to a diverse Audience, had to formulate a method for making the "other half" laugh. In magazine fiction, vaudeville, and the comic strip, the oppressive conditions of the poor and the marginalized were portrayed unflinchingly, yet with a distinctly comic sensibility that grew out of caricature and ethnic humor.Author Jean Lee Cole analyzes Progressive Era popular culture, providing a critical angle to approach visual and literary humor about ethnicity-how avenues of comedy serve as expressions of solidarity, commiseration, and empowerment. Cole's argument centers on the comic sensibility, which she defines as a performative act that fosters feelings of solidarity and community among the marginalized. Cole stresses the connections between the worlds of art, journalism, and literature and the people who produced them-including George Herriman, R. F. Outcault, Rudolph Dirks, Jimmy Swinnerton, George Luks, and William Glackens-and traces the form's emergence in the pages of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's Journal-American and how it influenced popular fiction, illustration, and art. How the Other Half Laughs restores the newspaper comic strip to its rightful place as a transformative element of American culture at the turn into the twentieth century.

Humor. In his ninth book, author Karl Beckstrand captures with simplicity the essence of non-offensive, politically correct communication. With so much that is disturbing, distasteful, and degrading in the world, he offers something safe for the entire family. Beckstrand encourages (in a witty way) the expression of important ideas and respectful dialogue-which often lead to serendipitous solutions that neither side would have arrived at without the other. He makes a strong statement about the problems with political correctness-especially unconstitutional limits on free speech. 66-page, perfect-bound, 5.5" x 8.5" soft cover book by Karl Beckstrand, available via Premio Publishing & Gozo Books, LLC (worldwide rights Sept. 2013) Premiobooks.com, Amazon/Kindle, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Follett Library Resources/BWI Title Wave, Barnes & Noble/Nook, iTunes, Brodart, and select retailers, ISBN: 978-0615876863, ebook ISBN: 978-1301370962, HUM000000, FAM027000, HUM010000, POL039000, POL004000

This poetry book is a compilation of my life experience as a child growing up in the depression days of the early 1900's and beyond. I lived with my parents and a talented demanding brother, in a modest two story home on a street dominated by churches, logically named Church Street. I've included the most popular poetry from my writings and pray the reader will connect to my remembrance of the past. My diverse poetry will take you thru my childhood experiences, nightmares and all, from an early age in the forties when I played drums five nights each week of the summer at Mickey's Thirst Parlor in Pennsylvania. Some of my poetry is humorous, some to make a point, some dealing with good and bad domestic/international history, and some about religious belief, philosophy, love and miscellaneous things. Readers are sure to enjoy this book. This book is dedicated to Nancy, my wife, love and confidante, and written for our daughters Paula & Becky, and grandsons Chris & Matt. john r rossbacherr
