Rachel Dratch

Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle

'Rachel Dratch . . . I know that name . . .Yes, that's right, she was hilarious on Saturday Night Live!'

'Yeah! I haven't seen her on TV in a while. So . . . what happened to her?'

In Girl Walks into a Bar . . .,\ Rachel Dratch, the brains behind everyone's favourite party pooper, Debbie Downer (cue the trombone- WAAAH WAAAJ!), tells us just where she's been. After sharing her auspicious beginnings as a child performer (for her parents in their suburban Boston living room), Rachel takes us from her college improve days to the Second City Mainstage. And then, finally, her dream job on Saturday Night Live-the sublime joy of creating a hit character, the torturous late nights in the writing room, and plenty of boozy after-parties

But Rachel learns that showbiz ain't all glitz and glamour, shrimp cocktails and pinot grigio. After a short-lived part on 30 Rock, her career hits a low point and suddenly she has time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish-and the biggie- dating. Rachel reveals the joys and terrors of putting herself out there in a quest to find love and then becoming a mother when she least expected it-at the age of forty-four. She recounts the adventures of pregnancy and new motherhood once you've hurled What to Expect When You're Expectingout the window- breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single lady friends, romance and coparenting with her baby-daddy, John, and the awkwardness of an infant-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.

In Girl Walks into a Bar . . . reveals the highs and lows od struggling to make it as a comedian. But it is truly a story of second chances, managing to laugh at adversity, and realizing adversity, is actually the best thing that ever happened to you. It's a refreshing alternative to the 'happily ever after' story, full of sensitivity, candor, and plenty of comic relief, as only Rachel Dratch can tell it.

Al Franken

From the #1 bestselling author - the story of an award-winning comedian who decided to run for office and then discovered why award-winning comedians tend not to do that. AL FRANKEN, GIANT OF THE SENATE is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it. It's a book about our deeply polarized, frequently depressing, occasionally inspiring political culture, written from inside the belly of the beast. In this candid personal memoir, the honorable gentleman from Minnesota takes his army of loyal fans along with him from Saturday Night Live to the campaign trail, inside the halls of Congress, and behind the scenes of some of the most dramatic and/or hilarious moments of his new career in politics.

Robert Moor

An Exploration

In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others devolve? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing -- combining the nomadic joys of Peter Matthiessen with the eclectic wisdom of Lewis Hyde's The Gift. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the oft-overlooked trail -- sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life?

Political Manipulation and the Assault on the American Mind (Revised)

"A vitally important and highly readable investigation...by this insightful psychologist and political activist." --Lawrence Tribe "A fascinating and compelling case that right-wing politics has subverted our democracy...This book unmasks the politics of fear--the deeper chords touched by campaigns that appeal to the dark side." --Robert Shrum, author, "Concessions of a Serial Campaigner""Bryant Welch sees through the smoke and mirrors and offers the only remedy that will place democracy firmly in the grip of the people from whom it is being stolen." --Harold I. Eist, former President, American Psychiatric Asociation"This beautifully written, urgently relevant work should be on the bookshelf of everyone who cares about the survival of American democracy." --Nancy McWilliams, former President, Division of Psychoanalysis, American Psychological AssociationFROM THE AUTHOR: "I published the first edition of 'State of Confusion' in 2008. I am a clinical psychologist and attorney, and the previous two decades had given me an unusual perch from which to observe the American mind as it played out in the political arena. I became increasingly concerned with the growing instability of the American mind itself as it struggled under trauma and political manipulation to bear the psychological burdens needed to maintain a democracy. As frightening as our neglect of the deterioration of the environment was, the deterioration of our minds was even more worrisome and even more neglected. What was shocking in 2008, now just a decade later, seems almost quaint and illustrates the rapid deterioration of our mental state -- an increasingly dysfunctional state of confusion. Fortunately, as rapidly as the mind has deteriorated, so has our understanding of the mind increased. The most important and hopeful antidote to our current predicament is psychological awareness, awareness of the nature of the mind itself and an awareness of the forces that have so distorted our American character and mental stability. When we understand the nature of our mind we see that awareness itself can be profoundly healing and can illuminate the constructive things we can do to restore the American mind to rationality, tranquility, and vibrancy.Despite our current dire situation America's promise is still vast. The hour is getting late, however. Awareness, deeper psychological awareness itself, must become America's new Manhattan Project. This book is dedicated to that effort."ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Bryant Welch is a nationally renowned clinical psychologist and attorney. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, he received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina and later was a Research Associate Graduate of the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute. He lived in Washington, DC for seventeen years where he served as the first Executive Director for Professional Practice of the American Psychological Association. He oversaw organized psychology's most impactful advocacy era, leading successful efforts to expand access to psychological care and using psychological understanding to combat human rights abuses in many settings. For these efforts, he received numerous awards including an APA Presidential Citation for Seminal Contributions to the Field of Psychology. He was an outspoken opponent of the APA's involvement in human torture under the Bush administration. Bryant currently lives with his wife, Leni Miller, and practices clinical psychology in Sausalito, CA.

Richard Shenkman

The truth and nothing but the truth--Richard Shenkman sheds light on America's most believed legends: The story of Columbus discovered that the world was round was invented by Washington Irving. The pilgrims never lived in log cabins. In Concord, Massachusetts, a third of all babies born in the twenty years before the Revolution were conceived out of wedlock. Washington may have never told a lie, but he loved to drink and dance, and he fell in love with his best friend's wife. Independence wasn't declared on July 4 (and the Liberty Bell was so little regarded that Philadelphia tried to sell it for scrap metal but nobody wanted it). After World War II, the U.S. Government concluded that Japan would have surrendered within months, even if we had not bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
