Quinn Price

What happens when you change the rules about dealing with difficult people?
Marcus Winters has always been a master at keeping the peace—accommodating his narcissistic wife Vanessa's emotional needs and navigating his brilliant but difficult product development team at work. He creates systems, follows rules, and does whatever it takes to maintain harmony. But beneath his calm exterior, Marcus is drowning.
Enter Dr. Valerie Mercer, "The Difficult Person Whisperer." Armed with unconventional wisdom and strange symbolic objects, she teaches Marcus five transformative principles that challenge everything he thought he knew about difficult relationships.

The Twisted History of the GOP

Mike Luckovich

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.
