EMBLEM OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT
"Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the
American Spirit tells the compelling story of how Walt
Disney’s beloved graphic alter ego, the most enduring pop icon ever
created, was born, how it soon took on a life of its own, and - as an often
politically charged symbol of America - became an instantly recognizable
figure virtually everywhere on earth.
It is the first illustrated
“biography” and pop culture study of the diminutive cartoon
star whose unprecedented success laid the foundation for everything the
Walt Disney Company has achieved over the years.
Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit
chronicles the life and times of Disney’s cheerful signature
character, beginning with his lively syncopated debut in 1928 in Steamboat Willie at the tail end of the
Jazz Age and into the Depression, and traces his impact on the realms of
high art, literature, even politics - in peace and in war -both in the
United States and abroad."

THE STORYTELLING SECRETS OF THE NEW MASTERS OF RADIO
"Every week, millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life, The Moth, Radiolab, Planet
Money, Snap Judgment, Serial, Invisibilia and other narrative radio shows. Using personal
stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues, these beloved
programs help us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better.
Each has a distinct style, but every one delivers stories that are
brilliantly told and produced. Out on the
Wire offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling
- one that literally illustrates the making of a purely auditory medium.
With the help of This American
Life‘s Ira Glass, Jessica Abel, a cartoonist and devotee of
narrative radio, uncovers just how radio producers construct narrative,
spilling some juicy insider details. Jad Abumrad of RadioLab talks about chasing moments of
awe with scientists, while Planet
Money’s Robert Smith lets us in on his slightly goofy strategy
for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad - really mad -
Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative
and engaging, Out on the Wire
demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the
most exciting and innovative storytelling available today."

"Bernie Sanders puzzles the establishment. A self-identified socialist,
long affiliated with neither the Democratic nor
Republican parties, from the tiny state of Vermont, Sanders is now pushing
more than 30 percent in most opinion polls against the "inevitable" Hillary
Rodham Clinton. And he's proudly doing it on a shoestring budget without
Super-PAC or Wall Street contributions.
What is it about Bernie Sanders that triggered his seemingly overnight rise
from marginal figure to national player?
Two-time Kennedy-award winning journalist Ted Rall’s biography of
Sanders, Bernie, told in graphic novel form, explores the personal
and political development of a man who is shaking up the 2016 presidential
campaign, redefining the left wing of the Democratic Party, and, win or
lose, setting a new benchmark for a revived progressivism within a party
that has rejected it for half a century."

"The Envelope Manufacturer
documents the hardships and gradual disintegration of the career of
the owner of an independent small business. Ultimately, the pressures of
his role begin to have an effect on him psychologically; he starts to talk
to himself and occasionally cannot distinguish the difference between

becomes disillusioned with the detached, dispassionate man he has become.
Set in the mid-twentieth century, just before the end of the period when
most goods were still produced domestically, The Envelope Manufacturer
chronicles the gradual demise of a small company as it struggles to adapt
to a changing economic landscape."
