Political satire doesn’t age well, but occasionally a diatribe contains enough art and universal mirth to survive long after its timeliness has passed. Candide is such a book. Penned by that Renaissance man of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, Candide is steeped in the political and philosophical controversies of the 1750s. But for the general reader, the novel’s driving principle is clear enough: the idea (endemic in Voltaire’s day) that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and apparent folly, misery and strife are actually harbingers of a greater good we cannot perceive,

The eighteenth-century picaresque masterpiece- now in a new edition A triumph of English satire, Humphry Clinker was published just three months prior to its author’s death in 1771. At its heart is Matthew Bramble, a gout-ridden misanthrope who travels Britain with his nephew, niece, spinster sister, and manservant, the trusty Humphry Clinker. In a narrative peopled with pimps, drunkards, and con men, Bramble’s pessimistic views on the world’s degeneracy- and his eagerness to express them-betray the author’s belief that his countrymen were suffering from an acute lack o

Like a moose in the living room some problems are just plain hard to ignore. Try as we might to keep them out of sight, they have a way of hanging around, demanding to be addressed. The best thing to do is confront them and look for a solution. Those who fail to do so usually come to regret that they didn’t put the moose on the table. PUT THE MOOSE ON THE TABLE is an effort to capture the lessons learned by one man over the course of a life and a career in the corporate world. It’s about his experiences and the lessons in leadership he learned during a time of unprecedented chan

The words of a eulogist capture a moment when the living begin to define the memory of one who has died. A portion of the text is often printed in the newspaper the next day, but until now, full texts were rarely accessible to readers and researchers later. "In Tribute: Eulogies of Famous People" collects the eulogies given in memoriam of influential men and women of the twentieth century. In many cases men and women who were notable in their own right gave the eulogies. "In Tribute" offers the stirring words of Cardinal Roger Mahoney about the strength and perseverance of Cesar Chavez, and th
