    Bucky, Satchel, and Rob are back for more madness and mayhem. And the world couldn't be happier! Darby Conley's previous titles include two New York Times  best-sellers. Bucky Katt is a rather obstinate Siamese who constantly  battles his "owner" Rob for control of their home. Satchel Pooch, the  Labrador-Shar-pei mix who's sweet and lovable, makes a nice lackey for  Bucky. Bucky knows he's smarter than everyone else; it's just a matter  of convincing the rest of the world. Satchel always tries to do the  right thing but very often ends up the brunt of Bucky's antics. Rob  Wilco is a bachelor trying to regain household domesticity. Together,  this seemingly typical threesome gets into some less-than-typical but  hilarious situations. There's never a dull moment at the Wilco  residence.Get Fuzzy, featured in over 650 newspapers  worldwide, is one of the most highly lauded cartoons in the country. The  National Cartoonists Society named it Best Comic Strip of 2002. Its  sidesplitting humor and hilariously illustrated facial nuances appeal to  animal lovers everywhere. Bucky and Satchel's words and expressions are  what we all picture our beloved pets saying and doing.

    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.
