On a cold February day in 1979, when most of the Northeast was snowed in by a blizzard, NASCAR entered the American consciousness with a dramatic telecast of the Daytona 500. It was the first 500-mile race to be broadcast live on national television and featured the heroes and legends of the sport racing on a hallowed track. With one of the wildest finishes in sports history–a finish that was just the start of the drama–everything changed for what is now America’s second most popular sport.
HE CRASHED ME SO I CRASHED HIM BACK is the story of an emerging sport trying to find its feet. It’s the story of how Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, A.J. Foyt, and Kyle Petty came together in an unforgettable season that featured the first nationally televised NASCAR races. There were rivalries–even the sibling kind–and plenty of fistfights, feuds, and frenzied finishes. Rollicking and full of larger-than-life characters, HE CRASHED ME SO I CRASHED HIM BACK is the remarkable tale of the birth of modern stock-car racing. Read details »

From the founding editor-in-chief of Babble.com, a complete and completely reassuring guide that will show parents how to abandon their insecurities, trust their instincts, and enjoy raising a happy, considerate child.
What’s the right way to parent? Venture into any playground or online message board and you’ll find as many opinions as there are adults present. Every subject — from sleep training to time-outs to pacifiers — has its supporters and detractors, and every viewpoint can be backed up by a truckload of research and statistics.
It’s enough to reduce a new parent to tears, if the 3 a.m. feedings and endless recitations of Goodnight Moon aren’t doing that already. Yet there is a way to end the madness, to calm your fears, and to make those precious early years a source of joy for both of you. Ada Calhoun, a young mother herself, infuses Instinctive Parenting with the smart and candid approach that earned Babble an ASME nomination for General Excellence Online and close to two million readers. Her simple yet profound advice: Find what works for you and your family and ditch the anxiety and judgment.
Everyone wants to do what’s best for his or her child, yet the fact is there is no universal “best.” Whether you start solids at four months or eight, whether you co-sleep or Ferberize, whether Junior’s mac’n'cheese is dayglo orange or 100 percent organic matters a lot less than other parenting books — and other parents — might have you believe. What does matter is providing the few absolute essentials (love, food, shelter) while teaching your little one how to be a kind, responsible human being. With its compelling mix of entertaining, hilarious fi rsthand accounts and refreshing common sense, Instinctive Parenting will show you how to do that — and even show you how to retain your sanity, your friends, your sense of humor, and your personal life in the process.

Daring the reader not to blush, The Sassy Bitch’s Book of Dirty Jokes includes jokes on a everything from romance, one-nighters and dirty talk to foreplay, penis size, and between-the-sheets mishaps. And since nothing is funnier to a sassy bitch than men, this book goes ahead and breaks every rule of polite feminine humor as it devilishly and indecently lays bear the pathetic yet hilarious side of the less-fair sex.
Lesley Hazleton remembers that day so clearly because while men take for granted the independence that cars bring, women do not. For women, a car means freedom. It means control over their own lives. It means, really, far more to women than it does for most men. Yet for years, automakers didn’t consider women when they designed cars. As far as they were concerned, women were in the bleachers and men were in the grandstands.
Not anymore.
Lesley Hazleton talked to 150 women all over America to find out what they really thought about cars. What she discovered will make you laugh and it will make you think. This book is as much about the romance of owning a car (and romance inside a car) as it is about antilock brakes and air bags. More than a car manual (though it’s filled with how-to advice on taking care of your car), it will enable you to negotiate for the best deal, teach you how to test-drive, help you decide whether to buy or lease, explain safety features and security issues, and guide you to know your car as much as you love it. With lively anecdotes, charts, and illustrations, Everything Women Always Wanted to Know About Cars, But Didn’t Know Who to Ask is revealing, insightful, and extremely informative. Read details »
