"This is a Borzoi book published by Alfred A. Knopf."
By Michael P. Jeffries
Comedy is a brutal business. When comedians define success, they don't talk about money--they talk about not quitting. They work in a business where even big names work for free, and the inequalities of race, class, and gender create real barriers.

An intrepid investigation into nature's restorative benefits by a prize-winning author.
By William Eberhard
"Spider webs are considered by many to be the most spectacular structures of the natural world. Their designs, their creation, and their maintenance and utility are a wonderful way in which to explore intricacies of behavior and evolution. And no current scientist has spent more time in the webs than William Eberhard, of the Smithsonian; in fact he has likely watched more species of spider build webs than any other individual. He has written for spiders the equivalent of Kent Wells Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians, a work which will be the definitive reference on spider webs. In this book, Eberhard tours readers through all elements of webs-the types of silk, the ways in which it is spooled by the spider legs, how spiders choose web sites, the primary patterns webs follow, the varying degrees of time it takes to construct webs, why spiders rebuild webs, etc. And he unspools all that is known about the behavioral repertoires of the web designers, the spiders. In aggregate, Eberhard shows how close observations of behavior can answer large and small questions in biology regarding the functions of morphology and behavior, and how complexity and diversity arise in nature"--.
