"Kasher in the Rye" by Moshe Kasher is a hilarious memoir of the life of rising comedian Moshe Kasher, who survived a tumultuous journey through addiction, psychoanalysis, and a chaotic childhood. From his early drug use at age 12 to stints in mental institutions and a move to Oakland initiated by his unconventional mother, Kasher's life reads like a mix of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris, with a strong Jewish twist. Despite the harrowing experiences, the book finds humor in the darkest moments, offering a brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny perspective on a turbulent life.

The rise and fall of Napoleon is chronicled in dramatic works of art by 19th century masters in this book of art and military history.  Napoleon on Campaign collects magnificent works by Detaille, Meissonier, Vernet, Lady Butler, Hillingford and many of the other artists who sought to capture on canvas the most celebrated incidents of the Napoleonic Wars. Through their battle paintings, these great artists tell an intriguing tale of power, greatness, greed and hubris.   While each painting is captivating in its own right, their chronological presentation creates a uniquely vivid historical narrative, aided by short summaries that provide important context for each scene. Gathering these images together in a single volume for the first time, Napoleon on Campaign is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the Napoleonic era.
