  A concise guide to giving meaningful, appropriate toasts for virtually any occasion, from the author of How to Be a Gentleman. 
   
  A Gentleman Raises His Glass teaches how to prepare a toast for virtually any occasion—be it a wedding, a celebratory dinner, or any social celebration where a tribute would be welcome. It also tells the history of the toast, gives examples of the right and wrong things to say, and contains more than fifty aphorisms on toasting:A gentleman knows that, unless he is seated in a crowded public restaurant, he must stand to deliver a toastWhen a gentleman makes a toast, he makes it directly to his guest of honor, not to the table at largeA gentleman knows that a toast, even at a bachelor’s dinner, is still intended to be a tribute—not an embarrassment

  There’s no question that Americans are bitterly divided by politics. But in Partisans and Partners, Josh Pacewicz finds that our traditional understanding of red/blue, right/left, urban/rural division is too simplistic. Wheels-down in Iowa—that most important of primary states—Pacewicz looks to two cities, one traditionally Democratic, the other traditionally Republican, and finds that younger voters are rejecting older-timers’ strict political affiliations. A paradox is emerging—as the dividing lines between America’s political parties have sharpened, Americans are at the same time growing distrustful of traditional party politics in favor of becoming apolitical or embracing outside-the-beltway candidates. Pacewicz sees this change coming not from politicians and voters, but from the fundamental reorganization of the community institutions in which political parties have traditionally been rooted. Weaving together major themes in American political history—including globalization, the decline of organized labor, loss of locally owned industries, uneven economic development, and the emergence of grassroots populist movements—Partisans and Partners is a timely and comprehensive analysis of American politics as it happens on the ground.

  Many parents wonder about their gifted children. They wonder where their intelligence came from, or why they behave the way they do. For example, many gifted children can be bossy or act as if they are adults, with their wits and words, while still showing immature behavior of a 4-year-old, or whatever their age is. This puzzles parents, and answers need to be given. 
  This book does just that. Along with the topics mentioned above, this book also touches on the correlation between early birth and intelligence, the depressive thoughts some gifted children have, the meaning of IQ tests in these analyses, and the question about whether your child should skip a grade or not. 
  Trust me, these facts may surprise you. Don’t miss out on them.
