|  | False Logic Puzzles by Norman D. Willis
Try your hand at these tantalizing logic puzzles set in mysterious locales: Socrates Lends a Hand, Mordin's Maze, The Isle of Ave, The Villagers of Farmwell, and the Valley of Liars. They're tough, they're varied, and they all contain at least one false statement, which must be identified in order to solve the riddle. First you devise a sound method of analysis, and once all the different options have been tested, remove the assumptions that reveal inconsistencies or contradictions. The remaining statements are your solution. Think you're smart? These mind-benders are much more complicated than other games, often requiring the use of diagrams and the Hints Section. Happy Solving! AUTHOR: Norman D. Willis

 | Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year 1997 by Charles Brooks
I`ve always thought that the quality of humor rises in direct proportion to the level of hysteria and self righteousness that exists in our country. If that is so, then this book is a bad sign because it had me in stitches from cover to cover . 1997 marks the twenty-fifth installment of this landmark series. The events of 1996 provide ample fodder for the best editorial cartoonists from across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Naturally, the political conventions and the 1996 elections draw (no pun intended) the fire of many of the cartoonists. Other topics include the 1996 Olympics, the Olympic bombing, TWA flight 800, and the lifting of the federally mandated speed limit. Pulitzer prize winners, National Headliners Club winners, National Newspaper Award/Canada, and the Fischetti Award winners are listed. Charles Brooks is past president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists and was a cartoonist for the Birmingham (AL) News for thirty-eight years. He has been the recipient of thirteen Freedom Foundation awards, a national VFW award, two Vigilante Patriot awards, and a Sigma Delta Chi award for editorial cartooning. Brooks` cartoons appear in more than eighty books, including textbooks on political science, economics, and history, as well as encyclopedias and yearbooks. His original cartoons are on display in the archives of many libraries. AUTHOR: Charles Brooks
