The New Yorker is, of course, a bastion of superb essays, influential investigative journalism, and insightful arts criticism. But for eighty years it’s also been a hoot. Now an uproarious sampling of its funny writings can be found in this collection, by turns satirical and witty, misanthropic and menacing. From the 1920s onward—but with a special focus on the latest generation—here are the humorists who have set the pace and stirred the pot, pulled the leg and pinched the behind of America. The comic lineup includes Christopher Buckley, Ian Frazier, Veronica Geng, Garrison Keillor, Steve Martin, Susan Orlean, Simon Rich, David Sedaris, Calvin Trillin, and many others. If laughter is the best medicine, Disquiet, Please! is truly a wonder drug.

When five thousand dollars and the governor's daughter disappear from the Monmouth Plantation in 1852, Natchez Sheriff Murphy is called on to interrogate three suspicious house guests: Kitty, a minstrel actress from New York's grim Five Points district, learned the value of playing dumb and sitting pretty long ago. For Sheriff Murphy, she's all batted eyelashes and girlish innocence-But her employer, Lord Farkas, hints at a sinister cleverness lurking behind Kitty's charm. A genteel nobleman from Hungary, Farkas may be the most respectable of the suspects, but the vast incongruities between his testimony and Kitty's force the sheriff to confront the third member of their party: a free black Londoner named Coop.While Coop might have been naive about posing as a slave on this downstream venture, he's been in America long enough to know his word counts for nothing. It isn't even legal for a black person to testify against a white in Natchez. But Sheriff Murphy isn't fussing with legalities-not when a young girl is in danger. If Coop is willing to cooperate, Murphy might just be willing to make a deal.Now Coop's fate hinges on convincing Murphy of a truth more tangled than Farkas and Kitty's lies

A gifted education Legacy Award winner, Parenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children provides a humorous, engaging, and encouraging look at raising gifted children today. James R. Delisle, Ph.D., offers practical, down-to-earth advice that will cause parents to reexamine the ways they perceive and relate to their children. Dr. Delisle puts forward 10 tips to parents of gifted children—ideas that reflect attitude and approach and allow for introspection and change, rather than quick, do-it-tonight solutions. Some topics of interest include understanding a child's giftedness, working with the school system, dealing with perfectionism in gifted kids, and being adult role models for children. Along the way, stories from gifted children and their parents provide insight into the lives of these individuals. What sets this book apart from other books for parents of gifted kids is its expansion beyond mere platitudes. Dr. Delisle's tips go beyond the basics, focusing on attitude, reflection, and subtle changes, rather than specific, cookie-cutter recipes for action. The 10 tips suggested and expanded upon in this book include: understanding what giftedness is . . . and what it is not; understanding the differences between gifted kids and their agemates; understanding the personality traits of gifted kids, including overexcitabilities; taking charge of your child's education; understanding the issue of perfectionism in gifted kids; examining social nuances and myths related to giftedness; examining the similarities parents share with their gifted children; setting reasonable goals; helping gifted children make a difference in the lives of others; and remembering that gifted children are kids first and gifted second.
