From Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle

Today's top stand-up comedians sell out arenas, generate millions of dollars, tour the world, and help shape our social discourse. So, how did this all happen? The History of Stand-Up chronicles the evolution of this American art form - from its earliest pre-vaudeville practitioners like Artemus Ward and Mark Twain to present-day comedians of HBO and Netflix. Drawing on his acclaimed History of Stand-up podcast and popular university lectures, veteran comedian and adjunct USC professor Wayne Federman guides us on this fascinating journey. The story has a connective tissue - humans standing on stage, alone, trying to get laughs. That experience connects all stand-ups through time, whether it's at the Palace, the Copacabana, the Apollo, Mister Kelly's, the hungry i, Grossinger's, the Comedy Cellar, the Improv, the Comedy Store, Madison Square Garden, UCB, or at an open mic in a backyard.

Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding

If exercise is healthy (so good for you!), why do many people dislike or avoid it? These engaging stories and explanations will revolutionize the way you think about exercising--not to mention sitting, sleeping, sprinting, weight lifting, playing, fighting, walking, jogging, and even dancing.

"Strikes a perfect balance of scholarship, wit, and enthusiasm." --Bill Bryson, New York Times best-selling author of The Body

* If we are born to walk and run, why do most of us take it easy whenever possible?
* Does running ruin your knees?
* Should we do weights, cardio, or high-intensity training?
* Is sitting really the new smoking?
* Can you lose weight by walking?
* And how do we make sense of the conflicting, anxiety-inducing information about rest, physical activity, and exercise with which we are bombarded?

In this myth-busting book, Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise--to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion.

Exercised is entertaining and enlightening but also constructive. As our increasingly sedentary lifestyles have contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity and diseases such as diabetes, Lieberman audaciously argues that to become more active we need to do more than medicalize and commodify exercise.

Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, Lieberman suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather than shaming and blaming people for avoiding it. He also tackles the question of whether you can exercise too much, even as he explains why exercise can reduce our vulnerability to the diseases mostly likely to make us sick and kill us.

A Swing Towards Greatness

A golf prodigy who would make a lasting impression on the game of golf arose in the bucolic surroundings of Northern Ireland, where verdant fairways blend seamlessly with the untamed shoreline. The incredible journey of a small boy with a golf club in hand to becoming one of the most powerful and endearing individuals in the game of professional golf is chronicled in Rory McIlroy's biography, which reads like a gripping narrative. Rory McIlroy was born in Holywood, Northern Ireland, on May 4, 1989, and showed an early interest in the game that would come to define his life. He hit his first golf ball at the age of two, and the game of golf would soon see the emergence of a remarkable ability. Holywood Golf Club's lush fairways served as the canvas for McIlroy's early strokes, hinting at the brilliance that would eventually define his career. Rory's parents and tutors noticed his natural talent and undying devotion as he developed his talents on the nearby courses. Rory's father, scratch golfer Gerry McIlroy, was instrumental in developing his son's skill. Rory's unwavering work ethic and Gerry's mentoring paved the way for a spectacular rise through the junior and amateur golf rankings. The pivotal moment occurred in 2007 when McIlroy, then eighteen years old, won the silver medal at The Open Championship as the low amateur. This performance was only a small sample of the young Northern Irishman's extraordinary potential. His accomplishments as an amateur made the move to the professional ranks easy, and when he won the Dubai Desert Classic for the first time in 2009, it was clear that a new force in golf had arrived. But it was during the 2011 U.S. Open that McIlroy made his mark on the history of golf. He won his first major tournament with an amazing show of ability and poise that broke records and redefined expectations. The young Irishman dazzled viewers and fellow competitors with his power-finesse combination during his triumph at Congressional Country Club. There were difficulties along McIlroy's path, and his ability to bounce back from setbacks became a defining quality of his personality. One significant blow was when he encountered the harsh reality of Augusta National's challenging course at the 2013 Masters Tournament. But in typical McIlroy fashion, he bounced back with unflinching resolve and won more major tournaments, like the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. Outside of the game, McIlroy's charitable contributions and philanthropic activities demonstrated his desire to have a good influence outside of the fairways. In addition to his accomplishments on the golf field, the golfer's commitment to leaving a lasting legacy is demonstrated by his founding of the Rory Foundation, which aims to improve the lives of children worldwide. There is more to the story of Rory McIlroy's biography than just wins and medals. His private life, which included a well-publicized romance with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and a marriage to Erica Stoll afterward, lends a relatable element to the story of a world-renowned athlete. Readers are given a thorough picture of the man behind the swing by the ups and downs of McIlroy's personal life, which reflect the ups and downs of his golf career.

Rocky Marciano's Fight for Perfection in a Crooked World

From the bestselling author ofThe Prince of Providence, a revelatory biography of Rocky Marciano, the greatest heavyweight champion of all time.

The son of poor Italian immigrants, with short arms and stubby legs, Rocky Marciano accomplished a feat that eluded legendary heavyweight champions like Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson: He never lost a professional fight. His record was a perfect 49-0.

Unbeaten is the story of this remarkable champion who overcame injury, doubt, and the schemes of corrupt promoters to win the title in a bloody and epic battle with Jersey Joe Walcott in 1952. Rocky packed a devastating punch with an innocent nickname, "Suzie Q," against which there was no defense. As the champ, he came to know presidents and movie stars - and the organized crime figures who dominated the sport, much to his growing disgust. He may have "stood out in boxing like a rose in a garbage dump," as one sportswriter said, but he also fought his own private demons.

In the hands of the award-winning journalist and biographer Mike Stanton,Unbeaten is more than just a boxing story. It's a classic American tale of immigrant dreams, exceptional talent wedded to exceptional ambitions, compromises in the service of a greater good, astounding success, disillusionment, and a quest to discover what it all meant. Like Suzie Q, it will knock you off your feet.
