The Madhouse Effect
The award-winning climate scientist Michael E. Mann and the Pulitzer Prize–winning political cartoonist Tom Toles have been on the front lines of the fight against climate denialism for most of their careers. They have witnessed the manipulation of the media by business and political interests and the unconscionable play to partisanship on issues that affect the well-being of billions. The lessons they have learned have been invaluable, inspiring this brilliant, colorful escape hatch from the madhouse of the climate wars. The Madhouse Effect portrays the intellectual pretzels into which denialists must twist logic to explain away the clear evidence that human activity has changed Earth's climate. Toles's cartoons collapse counter-scientific strategies into their biased components, helping readers see how to best strike at these fallacies. Mann's expert skills at science communication aim to restore sanity to a debate that continues to rage against widely acknowledged scientific consensus. The synergy of these two climate science crusaders enlivens the gloom and doom of so many climate-themed books—and may even convert die-hard doubters to the side of sound science.
Now Who Do We Blame?
""My cartoons are my best appraisal of a situation presented in the funniest or most compelling way I can. Read my cartoons. What I have to say is in them.""-Tom Toles It's been a decade since political cartoonist Tom Toles collected his panels in book form. He's had a busy decade and plenty of time to further sharpen both his wit, commentary, and pen. NOW Who Do We Blame? presents an editorial master at the top of his game, in all of his whimsical, sometimes scathing, and always insightful glory. Toles, editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post, includes his favorite frames from the past. His subjects include the 9/11 Commission, the 2004 presidential election, terrorism, the Middle East...
Duh
"Toles stands out among today's generation of editorial cartoonists, who look for gag cartoons that supply a laugh but no deeper understanding." --Concord Monitor Toles is an outrageously clever marksman. He draws with a scalpel instead of a pen." --Albuquerque Tribune Political cartoonists swing a double-edged sword: They must be funny and they must have something to say. Syndicated cartoonist Tom Toles delivers on both scores, jabbing at America's status quo with well-directed wit and alacrity. "My cartoons are my best appraisal of a situation presented in the funniest and most compelling way I can," says Toles. "Read my cartoons. What I have to say is in them." Indeed. In this collection,...

My Elected Representatives Went to Washington
You can tell where he stands, tell that he thinks it out. It's satire in the Jonathan Swift tradition of satire. He really believes it--there's fire in his stomach." --Cartoonist Mike Peters With the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning to his credit, Tom Toles is one of the most known and loved (and occasionally reviled) editorial cartoonists working in America today. My Elected Representatives Went to Washington is his cartoon collection, featuring his sometimes whimsical, sometimes scathing, always insightful representations of today's political scene. "My cartoons are me," says Toles. "They are not detached illustrations of the events. They are less objective but more than unfair. They are my best appraisal of a situation presented in the funniest or most compelling way I can.

Communication and the Human Condition
Starting with the premise that we live in communication (rather than standing outside communication and using it for secondary purposes), Pearce claims that people who live in various cultures and historical epochs not only communicate differently but experience different ways of being human because they communicate differently. This century, he notes, ushered in the "communication revolution," the discovery that communication is far more important and central to the human condition than ever before realized. Essential to the communication revolution is the recognition that multiple forms of discourse exist in contemporary human society. Further, these forms of discourse are not benign; they comprise alternative ways of being human. Thus communication theory must encompass all that it "means to live a life, the shape of social institutions and cultural traditions, the pragmatics of social action, and the poetics of social order."
