The Cartoon Art of John P. Weiss
A collection of John P. Weiss's best cartoon illustrations from his popular blog posts, articles and sketchbooks.
An Artful Life
John P. Weiss always wanted to be an artist and writer, but his father recommended a conservative profession. So Weiss pursued a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming chief of police. Throughout his long police career, Weiss found ways to infuse creative writing and artfulness into his work. He drew editorial cartoons and wrote touching articles for the local newspapers. He became an accomplished landscape painter and popular blogger. Weiss turned his otherwise upstanding and normal life into an artful life. An Artful Life doesn't promise its readers a one-size-fits-all remedy for living their best lives. Weiss doesn't pretend to have the answers to all of life's questions. Instead, he's in the trenches with his readers, taking the journey alongside them. An Artful Life is an electrifying collection of both fiction and nonfiction works from a man who complemented his professional career with artwork and creativity. It is a poignant and sobering work of self-help literature that acts as a constructive and easy-to-access guide to being simultaneously creative and happy.

What should your life be about? What are the things that matter? In this thoughtful and poignant collection of stories and essays, John P. Weiss inspires readers with life lessons about hope, love, loss, creative passion, self-improvement, relationships, and getting the most out of life.

He holds a master's degree in criminal justice administration, and over 51K subscribe to his popular weekly online essays.
The Art of Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson is renowned among cartoonists as an "artist's" cartoonist. Little known to all but those close to him is the extent of his art talent. This is the book that will enlighten the rest of us and delight us with the sheer beauty of his work. Divided into six sections, each beginning with an introductory conversation between Thompson and six well-known peers, including Bill Watterson, the book will present Thompson's illustration work, caricatures, and his creation, Richard's Poor Almanack. Each section is highly illustrated, many works in color, most of them large and printed one-to-a-page. The diversity of work will help cast a wider net, well beyond Cul de Sac fans.

The Economics of Industrial Development
The spread of the manufacturing industry is an important part of economic development, creating jobs, new products and trade and investment links between countries. Understanding this process is an important part of understanding how countries develop and how they are affected by current globalization. The economic geography of the world has been changing significantly in the last few decades with old established industrial centres in the developed countries in decline, and new centres emerging in countries that were once thought of as poor and still developing. However, this process has been very uneven with some parts of the developing world still largely non-industrial. This book aims to ...
