The Big Book of Senior Moments is chock full of those small blunders, momentary lapses, and misplaced keys that happen to all of us. Humor might not help you remember your cat’s name, but it will certainly make you feel less alone!Did you know that Albert Einstein once searched frantically for his misplaced train ticket because he couldn’t remember where he was going? Or that Marilyn Monroe forgot the same line through 52 takes during the filming of Some Like it Hot? Can you believe that Marlon Brando had to have his lines written on another actor’s forehead so he could get through a scene? If you have done something like this, don’t despair, for you are among other greats like Lincoln, Beethoven, Newton, Toscanini, and a whole assortment of presidents, poets, philosophers, popes, and Nobel Prize–winners.

    America’s 911 system is supposed to be for emergencies only. But some people apparently didn’t get the memo, because the following are some of their responses when asked by dispatchers, “What’s your emergency?” 
      - “Yeah, I want to order a pizza.” 
      - “I’ve been standing all day and my feet hurt.” 
      - “I just swallowed a penny. Am I going to die?” 
      - “I want an officer to come out and take care of a low-flying aircraft.” 
      - “When does the Burger King open?” 
      New York Times best-selling author Leland H. Gregory III compiles some of the dumbest and occasionally profane (you’ve been warned) abuses of the 911 system ever recorded. Danielle Ferland and Andy Paris’ amusing narration will have listeners either howling with laughter or scratching their heads in disbelief. Possibly both.  Because this book is based on actual 911 calls, there are occasional profane words in the text. The author replaced these words with dashes, and they are bleeped in this recording.

    Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, Kirkus Reviews, and the Washington Post Book World. From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering and Actress, this is a collection of sharp, unpredictable short fiction about people struggling to connect in an increasingly disconnected world.Yesterday’s Weather shows us a rapidly changing Ireland, a land of family and tradition, but also, increasingly, of organic radicchio, cruise-ship vacations, and casual betrayals. An artisan farmer seethes at the patronage of a former Catholic-school classmate, now a successful restaurateur; a bride cheats on her rich husband with an old college friend—a madman who refuses his pills, disappears for weeks on end, and plays the piano like a dream. These and other stories make up a volume that is “astonishing: moving, emotionally accurate, sly, and laugh-out-loud funny” (O, The Oprah Magazine). “A dazzling collection.” —Time Out

    50 Risks to Take With Your Kids is an easy-to-use framework of challenges for children aged up to ten. You'll find risks that build physical skills, social confidence and character development, plus some all-important parenting risks that will encourage you to think a little differently about raising children. This book is not about developmental KPIs, and it's certainly not about judgement. It's about teaching kids to recognise and assess risk before they enter those ‘risky' teenage years, and about readying them to take on life and all that it brings. And most importantly it's about having fun and connecting as a family along the way.'An honest, funny and beautifully written account of parenting with all of its accursed uncertainties. For a book about risk-taking, it's hugely reassuring.' ANNABEL CRABB, journalist and author‘Full of smart, evidence-based steps that parents (and grandparents!) can take to assist the emotional and cognitive development of their children.' PROFESSOR IAN HICKIE AM, clinical psychiatry researcher‘A practical, sympathetic guide to giving kids back the chance to make some ‘bad' moves and grow from them.' LENORE SKENAZY, founder of the free-range kids movement
