  The author of How Not to Become a Little Old Lady returns with a guide to recognizing the signs and symptoms of being a grumpy old guy!A crotchety old man decided to wash his sweatshirt. He threw it in the washing machine and yelled to his wife, “What setting do I use?” His wife asked, “What does it say on the shirt?” He yelled back, “University of Texas.” If this man sounds like someone you know, chances are he’s a crotchety old man! We all have a crotchety old man in our lives. Maybe he’s your father, your grandfather, your brother, your husband—or (though you'd never admit it) even you! Crotchety old men stand in the middle of the kitchen and say “Where’s the butter?” They buy cans of broken cashews because they’re cheaper. They yell at news anchors on television, and believe “You look OK” is a compliment. This lighthearted celebration of grumpy old men provides 250 hilarious truths about cranky, crusty old guys who would rather spend days trying to build something than read the instructions. Also included is charming and humorous art by Adrienne Hartman.

  "Introducing Plato" begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Plato's thought. It provides a clear account of Plato's puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty. It offers detailed critical commentaries on all of the key doctrines of Platonism, especially the very odd theory of Forms, and concludes by revealing how Plato's philosophy stimulated the work of important modern thinkers such as Karl Popper, Martha Nussbaum, and Jacques Derrida.

  You can be little. You can be old. You can be a lady. But you don’t have to be a little old lady!   We’ve all seen her, hunched forward, her hair tucked neatly under a plastic rain bonnet. She’s clutching expired coupons, or discussing her latest health problems over lunch. She’s a little old lady . . . and she's coming your way at 2 mph.    Little old ladies have elastic waistbands on all their slacks. They save rubber bands, remember fifteen-cent McDonald’s hamburgers, and have never seen a public rest room that was clean enough.  How Not to Become a Little Old Lady is for any woman who is proud to have escaped little old ladyhood—or those in danger of slipping into it. Lighthearted and affectionately funny, it also includes charming illustrations from Adrienne Hartman.
