Despite the stodgy stereotypes, libraries and librarians themselves can be quite funny. The spectrum of library humor from sources inside and outside the profession ranges from the subtle wit of the New Yorker to the satire of Mad. This examination of American library humor over the past 200 years covers a wide range of topics and spans the continuum between light and dark, from parodies to portrayals of libraries and their staffs as objects of fear. It illuminates different types of librarians--the collector, the organization person, the keeper, the change agent--and explores stereotypes like the shushing little old lady with a bun, the male scholar-librarian, the library superhero, and the anti-stereotype of the sexy librarian. Profiles of the most prominent library humorists round out this lively study.

"Holt Mccallany Actor/Writer/Producer – 100s of TV and Film Roles - Bill Tench of MINDHUNTER “Peter Pereira is a sharp and savvy observer of New York City life. In his whimsical Toons, Pereira captures snapshots and soundbites from the streets, shops and restaurants around town that others often miss. He’s a terrific reporter and artist – it is always a delight to have his work in our newspapers.” Alexis Gelber Editor in Chief, Straus News Manhattan Former Editor-in-Chief Newsweek International "Peter Pereira is a multi-talented New York artist and photographer. His work is unique and powerful. I always enjoy his artistic endeavors and I'm sure you will too!" Alan Merrill Musician/Composer – Author of “I Love Rock n Roll” “Peter Pereira is a unique and creative storyteller. His accidental tourist drawings of everyday experiences are original hybrids of photography, drawing, painting, and presented within the idiom of comics. While collaborating with Peter on a series of stop motion animation stills from my series of Alice in Dystopia, the artistic dialogue between us and our works was a very rewarding experience.” Jeanne Jaffe – Professor Emeritus in Fine Arts from University of the Arts in Philadelphia -Director of International Programs at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts “Peter is a good soul!

This encyclopedia covers American right-wing extremist groups and extremism from the 1930s to the present day, including neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and various anti-government organizations. Right-wing extremism in America has had an established presence from the 1930s through the present day. The election of America's first African-American president and the resuscitation of "big government" policymaking have stimulated a reaction from, and a reemergence of, right-wing extremists, Neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, and white supremacists. Unfortunately, it seems Americans are still living in an age of extremism. The Encyclopedia of Right-Wing Extremism in Modern American History provides useful, authoritative information about these groups and their histories, covering conservative extremism from the 1930s onward, such as white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis, Christian Identity and other right-wing religious movements, and anti-American government extremists. An introductory overview, insightful conclusion chapter, and useful, up-to-date bibliography are also included.

The illustrated classic, complete with a new preface by Matt Groening. Winner of three Academy Awards and numerous other prizes for his animated films, Chuck Jones is the director of scores of famous Warner Bros. cartoons and the creator of such memorable characters as the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Pepé Le Pew, and Marvin Martian. In this beguiling memoir, Chuck Jones evokes the golden years of life at "Termite Terrace," the Warner Bros. studio in which he and his now-famous fellow animators conceived the cartoons that delighted millions of moviegoers throughout the world and entertain new generations of fans on television. Not a mere history, Chuck Amuck captures the antic spirit that created classic cartoons-such as Duck Dodgers in the 241/2 Century, One Froggy Evening, Duck Amuck, and What's Opera, Doc?-with some of the wittiest insights into the art of comedy since Mark Twain.
