  Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac follows the antics of four-year-old Alice Otterloop as she navigates her way through her suburban town and life's ups and downs at Blisshaven Preschool. More than half of our nation's population resides in the burbs, and suburbanites everywhere will easily recognize Cul de Sac's tree-lined streets, big-box retail stores, and kiddy crunchy cereals, along with the revealing backseat conversations between Alice and her brother.Thompson's paintbrush captures humorously poignant and reflectively thoughtful watercolor scenes that offer commentary on life and how we choose to live it. Appearing in more than 100 newspapers, Cul de Sac has garnered Thompson critical praise from both the National Cartoonists Society and the Society of Illustrators.

  Ninety Percent of Everything -...

  On ship-tracking websites, the waters are black with dots. Each dot is a ship; each ship is laden with boxes; each box is laden with goods. In postindustrial economies, we no longer produce but buy. We buy, so we must ship. Without all those dots, the world would not work.Freight shipping has been no less revolutionary than the printing press or the Internet, yet it is all but invisible. Away from public scrutiny, shipping revels in suspect practices, dubious operators, and a shady system. Infesting our waters, poisoning our air, and a prime culprit of acoustic pollution, shipping is environmentally indefensible. And then there are the pirates.Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam to Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains, and investigates the harm that ships inflict on endangered whales.Sharply informative and entertaining, Ninety Percent of Everything reveals the workings and perils of an unseen world that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and our very civilization.

  The very notion of comfort food could have begun in the farm kitchen, with its rich aromas of bubbling stew and apple pie, its stock of fresh eggs and butter and bacon, its warming custard on a cold winters night or cool spoonful of home-churned ice cream on a steaming Fourth of July. Culled from the pages of The Farmers Wife, the beloved magazine published and pored over throughout Americas heartland for forty-six years, the recipes in this cookbook allow today's cook to recreate all the comforting tastes of the farm kitchen--and to create new memories of food that means home. With straightforward directions and wholesome ingredients to suit the busiest farm wife--or twenty-first-century cook--these hearty soups, casseroles, roasts, pot pies, desserts, and refreshing beverages conjure all the sweet and savory comforts of country cooking at its best.Here’s a sampling of the recipes you’ll find inside: • Mammy’s Corn Bread • Clam Chowder • Deviled Eggs • Macaroni and Cheese • French Stew • Chili Con Carne • Boston Baked Beans • Pot Pie • Escalloped Tuna and Peas • Southern Fried Chicken • Fried Green Tomatoes • Rhubarb Brown Betty • Flapper’s Pudding • Ginger Ale
