Heroes with a Southern Gothic edge. If New Orleans has earned its "Sin City" nickname for its debauchery, then its nearby sister Devil's Cape has earned its "Pirate Town" moniker for the violence and blatant corruption that have marred the city since its founding. A city where corruption and heroism walk hand-in-hand, and justice and mercy are bought and paid-for in blood, Devil's Cape is a city like no other. Devil's Cape is a novel like no other. It blends the gritty crime novel with a heavy dose of the supernatural and weaves a tale of superhuman heroes and villains. Briskly written and highly readable, Devil's Cape will appeal to a wide audience.

A 25-year retrospective from the editorial cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Political cartoonist Rob Rogers has covered some vast political terrain in the last quarter century. He has lampooned everything from Ronald Reagan's shining city upon a hill, to George W. Bush's shining moment on an aircraft carrier. From Bill Clinton's place called Hope, to Barack Obama's audacity of hope. From the Cold War, to the hot planet. One thing is clear. He isn't done yet. No Cartoon Left Behind begins like every book should, at the beginning. In part one, Rogers shares his early influences and childhood drawings. He talks about how his successful physician father encouraged his art and illustrates the top ten reasons he didn't go into medicine. Rogers gives the reader a rare look into his creative process by answering the frequently asked question: Where do you get your ideas? In part two of the book, Rogers jumps right into the thing editorial cartoonists love more than anything else: Presidential Campaigns. In the chapter called, "Where's the Beef: Fear and Drawing On the Campaign Trail," Rogers shares his best cartoons from the seven of the elections he has covered, including Obama's historic win in 2008. No Cartoon Left Behind is divided by subject matter, covering a diverse range of topics such as gun control, education, smoking, health care, pop culture, the Cold War, foreign affairs, women's rights, racism, the environment and 9/11. Rogers, who began his career at the Pittsburgh Press in 1984, recounts every president he has had the pleasure of drawing, from Reagan to Obama. In "The Ears Have It: How To Draw George W. Bush Without Ending Up In Guantanamo," Rogers talks about the evolution of Bush's ears. "In 1999, before I really knew much about Dubya," Rogers explains, "I drew his ears a normal size. Then, as his policies and attitude became bigger than life, so did his ears. It's odd that someone with such big ears, even if they are cartoon ears, could be so deaf to the concerns of average Americans." In the introduction, Rogers describes the difficulty of balancing serious hardhitting commentary with something that will make the reader laugh. "Hockey player meets rodeo clown," he writes, "that's how I would best describe the job I do. Some days I am checking politicians against the boards hard enough to make them organ donors. Other days it's my job to step into an otherwise tragic environment wearing baggy pants, a red nose and giant clown shoes." In 1994, when Newt Gingrich led the Republican Revolution to win a majority in Congress, Rogers' depiction of "How the Gingrich Stole Christmas" made the year-end cover of Newsweek magazine. Despite his liberal leaning, Rogers is not afraid to go after the Democrats as well. In 1999, after a compelling year of cartoons about Monica-gate and Bill Clinton's impeachment, Rogers was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. No Cartoon Left Behind is not just another political cartoon collection. Rogers has created a unique history primer of the post-Cold War period as told through political cartoons. At the same time, he managed to create a memoir. In the book, Rogers recounts his humorous path to cartooning and his own personal perspectives on some of the major news stories and memorable images of the past two and a half decades. This book is a must-have for political junkies, history buffs, cartoon fans and people who only have forty dollars to spend on health care. After all, laughter is the best medicine.

After 25 years as the political cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rob Rogers was fired for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump. In Enemy of the People Rogers writes, "Trump's open embrace of the darkest, ugliest corners of human nature has emboldened racists, neo-Nazis, criminals, thugs, despots, misogynists and liars to come out from under their rocks and display their shameful behavior publicly. That includes publishers and editors who years ago may have been too ashamed to express their hateful views on the editorial page." From a cartoonkilling spree to a social media buzz, from an appearance on CNN to his final days at the paper, Rogers chronicles his unenviable journey with honesty, wit, and humor.

Learning Through Practice demonstrates how architects learn by practicing and by designing … not just by solving problems, but by changing the problems themselves. For 30 years, architect Rob Rogers has explored the edges of architecture and the places between various disciplines: the spaces where architecture, landscapes and the civic realm converge. Designing in cities around the country, his firm, ROGERS PARTNERS Architects+Urban Designers, creates work that is built on solid research, analysis, discovery, and shared experience. Through the various lenses of sixteen different projects, analyzed in twenty-two case studies, Learning Through Practice explores ideas fundamental to Rogers’ practice of architecture. With contributing editor, Isabelle Moutaud, Rogers deftly navigates the reader through six principles that have guided his approach to designing engaging 21st-century environments: the impact of small things, delight, authenticity, what you don’t see, open spaces, and the impact of big things. A premise on 21st-century architectural practice, Rogers unfolds, layer by layer, the architectural and civic projects based on these principles. Featured projects include a park and pavilion on the National Mall; a corporate campus in downtown Oklahoma City, OK; the Ellipse south of the White House; an open space in Cody, WY; redesigned streetscapes in New York City’s Financial District and along the Hudson River; a temporary art museum in Kowloon, Hong Kong; a cogenerative power plant in Syracuse, NY; and many more.
