This music is fun for the family to sing along with when putting up your Christmas tree, sitting around with the family, trying to put your baby to sleep or listening to it really loud on your way to work.

Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down Following the best-selling success of Dave's novel, Big Trouble, here is a hilarious new collection of columns from the writer critics have called "the funniest man in America." What's been getting Dave Barry all worked up lately? What can possibly induce him to rise up -- yes, actually out of his chair -- in indignation? Well, lots of things. For instance: * The plague of low-flow toilets (very important!) * The monumental parent-misery quotient of school science fairs * How the U.S. Army "lost" a one-million-dollar missile launcher * The hidden dangers of wasabi * "Specialty" coffees * Celebrity low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low-everything diets * Disasters at the FearPlex movie theaters * His dangerous voyage through a cruise ship buffet
Lukacs' fluid writing style is this book's greatest merit. He points out a great deal of classical and modern history of outstanding merit and durability. This booklet, however, is published by the ISI's publishing house. Reading it is like being flung back into the academic culture of East Coast Universities in the 1950s. The sensation is bizarre, and horribly exclusionary. Almost any other introduction to the discipline for undergraduates would be better by showing that non-European, non-Christian stories also have merit. History is not only the study of personal and national heritage, but the trials and value of all human cultures, even those not personally relevant. The book lacks such generosity, often termed imaginative sympathy. Too bad.
