Book excerpt: Stand-up comedy has exploded as the hottest entertainment phenomenon of the '80s -- what rock and roll was to the '60s and '70s. Comedy clubs are franchising across the nation (with more than 300 now open). Comics star on "Latenight with David Letterman," "Saturday Night Live," Carson's "The Tonight Show" and other late-night talk shows. Stand-ups are featured on their own uncensored, often "live" cable specials. And stand-ups like Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Jay Leno and "Bobcat" Goldthwait who started behind the microphone have moved on to star in films and television specials, and draw thousands to standing-room-only concerts.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller If you work hard enough, if you want it enough, if you’re smart and talented and “good enough,” you can do anything. Except get pregnant. Her whole life, Lucy Knisley wanted to be a mother. But when it was finally the perfect time, conceiving turned out to be harder than anything she’d ever attempted. Fertility problems were followed by miscarriages, and her eventual successful pregnancy plagued by health issues, up to a dramatic, near-death experience during labor and delivery. This moving, hilarious, and surprisingly informative memoir, Kid Gloves, not only follows Lucy’s personal transition into motherhood but also illustrates the history and science of reproductive health from all angles, including curious facts and inspiring (and notorious) figures in medicine and midwifery. Whether you’ve got kids, want them, or want nothing to do with them, there’s something in this graphic memoir to open your mind and heart.

Download or read book Born Reading written by Jason Boog and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A program for parents and professionals on how to raise kids who love to read, featuring interviews with childhood development experts, advice from librarians, tips from authors and children’s book publishers, and reading recommendations for kids from birth up to age five. Every parent wants to give his or her child a competitive advantage. In Born Reading, publishing insider (and new dad) Jason Boog explains how that can be as simple as opening a book. Studies have shown that interactive reading—a method that creates dialogue as you read together—can raise a child’s IQ by more than six points. In fact, interactive reading can have just as much of a determining factor on a child’s IQ as vitamins and a healthy diet. But there’s no book that takes the cutting-edge research on interactive reading and shows parents, teachers, and librarians how to apply it to their day-to-day lives with kids, until now. Born Reading provides step-by-step instructions on interactive reading and advice for developing your child’s interest in books from the time they are born. Boog has done the research, talked with the leading experts in child development, and worked with them to compile the “Born Reading Essential Books” lists, offering specific titles tailored to the interests and passions of kids from birth to age five. But reading can take many forms—print books as well as ebooks and apps—and Born Reading also includes tips on how to use technology the right way to help (not hinder) your child’s intellectual development. Parents will find advice on which educational apps best supplement their child’s development, when to start introducing digital reading to their child, and how to use tech to help create the readers of tomorrow. Born Reading will show anyone who loves kids how to make sure the children they care about are building a powerful foundation in literacy from the beginning of life.

Download or read book Creech written by Greg Capullo and published by . This book was released on 1999-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Released in July 1999, the Creech Trade Paperback, "Rage Against Death", collected the story that creator/writer/artist Greg Capullo first showed us two years ago. This collection features a new cover by Ashley Wood, an introduction by Todd McFarlane, character and creator bios, updated graphics, and yes, spelling mistakes were fixed, too. Although this collection does not collect every single printed page from the original series, the first printing possess, by accident, a great collectors value. Delays at Todd McFarlane Productions as well as Quantum Graphics set the release date back from early June to mid-July. All first printing copies produced were printed on damaged paper. Apparently, the printers sent the book out with what basically looks like water damage on most or all the pages. When creator Greg Capullo saw this he was furious. He immediately contacted Todd McFarlane's office to rectify the situation. With the initial print run being around 7,000 copies, and only about half that shipped, it was arranged to destroy the remained damaged issues and reprint them. The new copies printed to fix the error will still be labeled as "first printing." However, according to Capullo, the new issues that will be reprinted will have some changes, namely the back cover summary. Currently, if you have a Trade Paperback with the summary that starts with "A living creature from human DNA combined with alien genetic material leaves a trail of death and destruction when it escapes from the embryo compound." then you have one of only around 3,000 copies of that edition.
