THE ART OF COMMUNICATING
HANH, THICH NHAT
Despite all of our best intentions, communication is still a challenge for most of us. How do we say what
we mean in a way that the other person can really hear? How can we learn to listen with compassion and
understanding? Why do people communicate so differently and how can we reach across our differences
to strengthen our relationships? Using examples from his own experience working with couples, families,
workplace colleagues, and international conflicts, celebrated spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh reveals five
steps to truly mindful communication.

THE ART OF RUBE GOLDBERG
GOLDBERG, RUBE
Not many of us make it into the dictionary as an adjective. But then again, Rube Goldberg was no
ordinary noun. He was a cartoonist, humorist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor, and in a 72-year
career he wrote and illustrated nearly 50,000 cartoons. Goldberg (1883–1970) was the most famous
cartoonist of his time, best known for his comical inventions, which were syndicated in daily newspapers
throughout the world. Author Jennifer George celebrates all aspects of her grandfather’s career, from his
very first published drawings in his high school newspaper and college yearbook to his iconic inventions,
his comic strips and advertising work, and his later sculpture and Pulitzer Prize–winning political cartoons.
Also included are essays by noted comics historians, rare photographs, letters, memorabilia, and patents,
many reproduced here for the first time. Brilliantly designed and packaged to capture the inventiveness of
Rube Goldberg’s work, The Art of Rube Goldberg is a coffee table book the whole family can enjoy.
