This silver anniversary edition of Dave Coverly's Reuben award-winning Speed Bump collects 300 of his best cartoons into one full-color hardcover book. 25 years of ideas. 25 years of drawings. 25 years of coffee. Man, that's a lot of coffee. For 25 years - did we mention it's been 25 years? - Coverly's work has appeared in over 400 newspapers, including the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Detroit Free Press, as well as in Parade magazine, textbooks, greeting cards, and even on that internet thingy. Heck, we bet some of your friends have even shared them on your social media platforms! And yeah, that uncredited cartoon you saw that one time on a B-list celeb's Facebook page? That was Dave's! Dave Barry has said of Coverly, "He's very, very funny, AND he can draw. I hate him." Which is nice, though it does explain the lack of invitations to the Barry's summer home. Dry and gentle not only describes Dave's hands, but his sense of humor as well. And while there are no guarantees in life, this new collection of Speed Bump cartoons hopes to make you think, smile, snort awkwardly, rethink, pause for a bathroom break, maybe get a second cup of coffee, and return to read a few more before realizing you really should be doing something a little more productive.

Speed Bumps on a Dirt Roadis a living document of country music's founding fathers and mothers. John Cohen photographed musicians, at home, backstage at public events, from the wings at fiddlers' conventions, out in country music parks, and in the studio for live radio show performances and recording sessions. Back in 1961 it was still possible to know a few of America's original country musicians from the '20s and '30s. Renowned and celebrated musician and artist John Cohen came of age at the confluence of old time and early bluegrass music, the historic intersection of traditional and folk music. Cohen traveled the country playing music, recording, and documenting what was to be a generation of musicians who would influence American music and culture for decades to come. Traveling between the Union Grove fiddlers' convention to the Grand Ole Opry to a coal celebration in Hazard, Kentucky, Cohen made historic photographs of performers like Bill Monroe and Doc Watson, the country's very first all-bluegrass show, and a bluegrass bar in Baltimore, among much more.Speed Bumps on a Dirt Roadpresents old time music as the root of country music. Includes photographs of: Flatt & Scruggs, fiddler "Eck" Robertsonin Amarillo, Texas, Doc Watson, bluegrass fiddler "Tex" Logan, the Stanley Brothers at Sunset Park, Sara and Maybelle of the Carter Family, and Cousin Emmy, Alice & Hazel, and a dulcimer in a parking lot.

"Most people in this country hurry too much. I know, because I have been one of them. For much of my adult life, I've broken dozens of glasses and plates each year whipping them in and out of the dishwasher, thinking all the while,'Get it done, get it done.' So begins this collection of reader-favorite columns, with its varied chapter headings ("Latin For the Not Yet Dead," "Fruit of The Loom Jesus" and "When Will Dad Become a Woman?") all centered around what kids have to teach us: about not driving so fast that we hardly know what - or, in the story which gives the book its title - who are driving over. "A delightful valentine to dispel the humdrum quality of everyday experience, Marotta's observations are rife with gentle wit and an enviable wisdom." The Boston Globe "At last: a book for frazzled people everywhere.... Full of faith hope and heart." The Cape Cod Times "Marotta's words pop out at you like those 3-D castles in a child's book." The Palm Beach Post I laughed and cried. It brought me a sense of connectedness and joy; It made my soul sing! - A reader in Vermont.

Suddenly, the new mom and amateur mountain bike racer is confronted with a tidal wave of information and raw emotion.

Within these pages is a strategy for overcoming life's challenges by jumping boldly into action while injecting joy into all aspects of your life.
