Funny Business: Build Your Soft Skills Through Comedy
by Bill Connolly
Overview
Laughter, they say, is the best medicine. Well, it also happens to be a pretty effective tool in the workplace. Most people would not associate the world of comedy with corporate America but surprisingly there are many lessons that comics can teach executives and those looking to build a career. Comedy is about communication, and relating to your audience, and ultimately, so is business. Still, in today's market, companies emphasize a skill-set heavy in technology, which often leads to a workforce that is lacking in the 'softer,' more intangible skills needed to succeed.

An Independent Line
By Peter Schrank, Tim Sanders and Dave Brown.
From the fag-end of the Major years to New Labour’s smoking ban and beyond, this is a king-size pack of unfiltered satire from the political cartoonists of The Independent. Clinton’s cigar, George Dubya striking a light under the Middle East, Blair’s pants on fire, the damp matchbox of Gordon’s premiership and an ashtray of other smouldering issues are the butts of their humour. Drawing on the best of over 12 years of material, this book blows smoke in the face of our political masters, but will have you spluttering with mirth. Perhaps it should come with a government warning…

Herblock, The Life and Work of the Great Political cartoonist
By Harry Katz
This retrospective of Herblock's work defiantly documents the extraordinary career of a daily visual commentator on American political life. The book outlines the artist's career and its historical context, starting with Herbert Block's early career during FDR's term. His first Pulitzer, in 1941, earned him independence when he came under editorial fire for advocating U.S. entry into WWII. After his own military service, he joined the Washington Post, an association that lasted until his death in 2001.

A Conservative Walks Into a Bar: The Politics of Political Humor
by Alison Dagnes
Overview
Conservative critics argue that modern political satire, in the age of The Daily Show, has a liberal bias. A quick review of the humor landscape shows that there are very few conservative political satirists, and using personal interviews with political humorists this book explains why. The book explores the history of satire, the comedy profession, and the nature of satire itself to examine why there is an ideological imbalance in political humor and it explores the consequences of this disparity. This book will appeal to Daily Show and Colbert fans, political junkies, and anyone interested in the intersection of politics and media.

Comedy Under Attack: The Golden Age and the Headwinds

Publisher Review
Where does stand-up comedy stand in an increasingly polarized world? From the British music halls of the 1700s and 1800s to the birth of the Internet, pod casts, and Comedy Central, COMEDY UNDER ATTACK explores the challenges facing contemporary stand-up comics from outside forces, such as censorship arising from out of control political correctness and corporate interests, and the damage they cause themselves when they steal each others' jokes.

Mclachlan
Richard Ingrams (Foreword), Ed McLachlan (Author)
Product Description
Synopsis
For forty years, Ed McLachlan's cartoons have graced the pages of Punch, Private Eye, the Spectator, the Sunday Telegraph and a host of newspapers, books and films. Scabrously funny, black and twisted, they cast an entirely new light on everyday situations, in which the unexpected always crops up like an avenging angel. Like a domesticated FAR SIDE, these are the work of a brilliantly inventive imagination that sets just a small, hilarious and alarming gap between us and the world we move in.

Hard Times
Peter Brookes (Author)
Hard Times is the latest collection of outrageous sketches of contemporary and political life by the current British Cartoonist of the Year, culled from his award-winning leaderpage cartoons in The Times. Bristling with mischief and political savvy, Hard Times subjects the world and its leaders to the most sophisticated of lampoonings. From Cameron and Clegg, from Obama to Osama, few escape Brookes' biting censure in this hilariously entertaining and scrupulously up-todate collection of beautifully crafted satirical cartoons.

The Quest for Health Reform: A Satirical
The following content was provided by the publisher.
The Quest for Health Reform: A Satirical History is an engaging historical book that recounts the chronology of efforts to reform the U.S. health system through the lens of political cartoons published as early as the 19th century through passage of the Affordable Care Act. Co-authored by Executive Director of the American Public Health Association and former Joan H. Tisch Distinguished Fellow in Public Health at Hunter College, Georges C. Benjamin, MD, medical historian Theodore M. Brown, PhD; Susan Ladwig, MPH and Elyse Berkman, The Quest for Health Reform adds narrative to more than 100 years of selected caricatures, extending from famous 1870s editorial cartoonist Thomas Nast - who drew the elephant that remains a symbol for the Republican Party - to modern artists such as Mike Luckovich, who parodies U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. It is an amazing look at the evolution of health reform in the United States.

Prizewinning Political Cartoons
Posted by Alan Gardner, July 21, 2010
I received an email from Dean Turnbloom explaining that he was sending me his 2008 and 2010 editorial cartooning collections for comparison. I’ve seen, even collected some of the other best of books – do I really need another? Dean’s books are entitled, “Prizewinning Political Cartoons” and as the title suggests these are the national prize winning (and runner-up) cartoons. Dean includes a bio and interview with those individuals included in the book which is a nice touch. What makes this book stand out, and the reason Dean wanted me to compare the 2008 and 2010 editions is that the 2010 is in full color (with the exception of the one cartoonist who’s work only appears in black and white). Dean tells me he had push back from the publisher when he told them he wanted the whole thing in color because of the increase cost. If I’m reading between the lines correctly, this year’s book needs to sell well if they’re to continue to be printed in color.

When it comes to the art of the cartoon, no magazine in the world has a finer record than Punch. Fans of The New Yorker may carp, but the fact remains that Punch gave us the cartoon as we know it today the word cartoon became associated with pictorial satire and eventually any humorous drawing due to a grim joke in an 1843 issue of the magazine.

Exclusive Interview with Sophia A. McClennen
author of “Colbert’s America: Satire and Democracy”.
Colbert's America - Sophia McClennen
At Penn State, Sophia A. McClennen wears many hats: she’s a Professor of Comparative Literature, Spanish, and Women’s Studies; the Director of the Center for Global Studies; and Director of the Graduate Program in Comparative Literature. While much of her work involves Latin American media and literature — McClennen is the author of Ariel Dorfman: An Aesthetics of Hope, about the Chilean author and activist, as well as of the upcoming Globalization and Latin American Cinema— she also writes about culture, politics, and social change. This focus makes Stephen a perfect subject for her cultural criticism, as seen by her regular blog entries to The Huffington Post, many of which center around The Colbert Report. Her newest book, previously titled America According to Colbert: Satire as Public Pedagogy, is available in hardcover, and will be released in paperback in early July, retitled Colbert’s America: Satire and Democracy.
