Lighthouses
Photographs of one hundred lighthouses have been selected for their beauty, clarity of architectural depiction, geographic distribution, and representation of types. Twenty American states are represented: Michigan, 15; Wisconsin, 9; California, 8; Florida, 7; Oregon, North Carolina, and Maine, 5 each; Minnesota, 4; New York, 3; Massachusetts and Ohio, 2 each; and Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alaska, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Rhode Island, 1 each. These group by coast into 33 Great Lakes, 25 Atlantic, and 15 Pacific U.S. lighthouses. Half the U.S. lighthouses shown are conical; a fifth are square; a tenth are octagonal; a tenth are cylindrical; and one example each is hexagonal and nonagonal. Nine extra-U.S. lighthouses are also included for comparison's sake. Julie Stetzko Taff provides illuminating captions.
Outhouses
To muster the smart brigade of one hundred outhouses exhibited in this book, eight dedicated photographers headed by Londie Padelsky have fanned out over the boggy backways of our nation and rallied into service stalwart sentinels of every style and state of repair. Each redolent image in Outhouses: Images and Contemplations is ornamented by an aid to contemplation in words-whether seasoned aphorism (Cicero), subtle arriere-pensee (La Fontaine), inverted innuendo (Swift), cutting couplet (Pope), or purgative panegyric (Roethke)-all tastefully selected to gratify the large philosophico-poetic appetites that are awakened by the Littlest House on the Prairie.

Nagel
What if your local coffee bar were secretly wholly owned and operated by the Devil? And what if he were using a demonically endowed TV clicker to eavesdrop on the thoughts of his patrons as they innocently sipped their cappuccinos, pawed their laptops and thumbed their magazines? Such a diabolic cafe is the setting for Nagel, Arnold Klein's hilarious and devastating, but ultimately deeply moral, romp through the inner despairs and public futilities of contemporary Americans. By the time the Devil and his half-amused, half-indignant interlocutor have finished sounding the shallows of the customers' brains, all representative types of mind and manners from the college freshman choosing his mor...
