The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents: Earth - The Book - A Visitor's Guide to the Human RaceThe Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents: Earth - The Book - A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race

Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture -- all in a lavishly produced audiobook of approximately 200 minutes.

Satire in an Age of Realism (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture)Satire in an Age of Realism (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture)

Examines how realism in the nineteenth-century novel became so extreme in its portrayal of human experience that it blurred into satire. Close study of the novels of Eliot, Hardy, Gissing, and Conrad, and the theater of Ibsen, reveals how Victorian realism's transfiguration into satire ultimately led to its demise.

Worlds Made Flesh - Chronicle Histories and Medieval Manuscript CultureWorlds Made Flesh - Chronicle Histories and Medieval Manuscript Culture

This book focuses on the use of the past in two senses.

First, it looks at the way in which medieval texts from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries discussed the past: how they presented history, what kinds of historical narratives they employed, and what anxieties gathered around the practice of historiography.

Second, this study examines twentieth-century interactions with this textual past, and the problems that have arisen for critics trying to negotiate this radically different textual culture.
