Summary

In this e-book original, The Teens They Are a-Changin', strips from the popular cartoon strip Luann reflect the ups and downs of being a teen-age girl. Luann’s transition into womanhood is interrupted by her friend Bernice’s  unexpected makeover, which attracts the attention of every guy in  school. Bernice, once jealous of Luann’s maturity, turns the tables,  leaving Luann jealous of her once socially awkward friend’s newfound  confidence. In an unexpected turn, the high school rumor mill churns out  gossip that Luann is going to have plastic surgery, which Gunther  misinterprets as brain surgery. After the rumor is expelled, Gunther,  caught up in all the hubbub of appearances, dons a “manlier” look. Brad  gets his head shaved at Diane’s request while Luann’s dad adjusts to his  wife’s new look. Featuring funny and revealing behind-the-scenes commentary by creator, Greg Evans.Readers of all ages love Luann, a strip about the trials of  becoming a  young adult. Known for its rich characters and intriguing  “what will  happen next” storylines, Luann enjoys a reader  loyalty rare on the comic  page, consistently ranking among the top five  in reader surveys. Greg  Evans was voted Outstanding Cartoonist of the  Year in 2003 by the  National Cartoonists Society, partly for his  efforts in holding up Luann  as a fine example of the positive  power comic strips can have. “My aim  is to touch readers’ hearts as  well as their funny bones,” says Evans,  who’s humorously touched on  serious issues such as peer pressure, drugs,  alcohol and young love.  “Adolescence is a very funny time—except  when you’re in it.”

    Mr. Salton gave instructions to have ready a carriage early on the important day, to start for Stafford, where he would catch the 11:40 a.m. train. He would stay that night with his grand-nephew, either on the ship, which would be a new experience for him, or, if his guest should prefer it, at a hotel. In either case they would start in the early morning for home.   
He had given instructions to his bailiff to send the postilion carriage on to Southampton, to be ready for their journey home, and to arrange for relays of his own horses to be sent on at once. He intended that his grand-nephew, who had been all his life in Australia, should see something of rural England on the drive. He had plenty of young horses of his own breeding and breaking, and could depend on a journey memorable to the young man.   
The luggage would be sent on by rail to Stafford, where one of his carts would meet it.   
Mr. Salton, during the journey to Southampton, often wondered if his grand-nephew was as much excited as he was at the idea of meeting so near a relation for the first time; and it was with an effort that he controlled himself. The endless railway lines and switches round the Southampton Docks fired his anxiety afresh.   
As the train drew up on the dockside, he was getting his hand traps together, when the carriage door was wrenched open and a young man jumped in.   
“How are you, uncle? I recognized you from the photo you sent me! I wanted to meet you as soon as I could, but everything is so strange to me that I didn’t quite know what to do. However, here I am. I am glad to see you, sir. I have been dreaming of this happiness for thousands of miles; now I find that the reality beats all the dreaming!”

    Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: Could a mortal ever become Batman?Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. He also tells us what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit and the amount of food we'd need to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian.A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.
