Good "man info"
My hubby says that this book is okay. It seems a little tough to read because of the layout of the pages. He doesn't refer to it nearly as much as he refers to my "mommy books." It does have some good recipes, though.

I know it's trying to be funny but I found it insulting
I thought that a book that had a humorous approach to navigating the unchartered waters of parenthood for a first time Dad would be fun and informative.I found the "caveman" stereotyping got old really quickly and soon became insulting.I would not recommend it to other men.

My husband felt talked down to
The book was funny at the beginning but after a while the constant mention of men being animals and worth nothing was just not amusing anymore. The entire book was just mocking men and my husband was insulted!! Not recommended for a serious book for the husband.

Great Read
Purcahsed this book about a month ago and it is a really good read for expectant fathers. Expectant mothers will get a kick out of it and the dads will really enjoy its simplistic and humorous approach.
Ladies, if your guy is not an avid reader, and you are trying to encourage him to read, this is the book for it. It contains helpful charts and answer real questions guys have.

Finally!
This is the first of all the books written for men that I found to be funny without being patronizing. It is honest, funny, and offers ways for men to help their wives rather than the usual grin and bear it tone that the other books have. I thought I was done with the idea of giving my husband a book about pregnancy "for men". Every single one of them treated pregnancy like treating a disease! I knew if my husband relayed a single line from one of those books his life would be in danger. Then this miraculous book appeared yes women you can give your men a book that does not make you out to be an alien. Yes men here is a book for you with reassurances that everything is going according to plan and suggestions for what to do in the mean time. ... Read more

Product Description
The Committee for Humanities and the Social Sciences at the Research Council has been commissioned by the government to carry out a program of research into Sweden's relations with Nazism, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A part of this commission was to produce a survey of the research field. This survey was organized around the three key concepts of the title of the research program, with chapters on Sweden and the Holocaust. A special chapter on Sweden's economic relations to Nazi Germany was added, as well as a bibliography. The survey gives both a picture of a broad research in the field, with ongoing debates in a number of areas, but also of significant gaps, where research still is lacking. The survey presents an internationally unique presentation of the state of research in a much debated and controversial field. ... Read more

Product Description
A concise introduction to numerical methodsand the mathematical framework neededto understand their performance

Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations presents a complete and easy-to-follow introduction to classical topics in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. The book's approach not only explains the presented mathematics, but also helps readers understand how these numerical methods are used to solve real-world problems.

Unifying perspectives are provided throughout the text, bringing together and categorizing different types of problems in order to help readers comprehend the applications of ordinary differential equations. In addition, the authors' collective academic experience ensures a coherent and accessible discussion of key topics, including:

• Euler's method

• Taylor and Runge-Kutta methods

• General error analysis for multi-step methods

• Stiff differential equations

• Differential algebraic equations

• Two-point boundary value problems

• Volterra integral equations

Each chapter features problem sets that enable readers to test and build their knowledge of the presented methods, and a related Web site features MATLAB® programs that facilitate the exploration of numerical methods in greater depth. Detailed references outline additional literature on both analytical and numerical aspects of ordinary differential equations for further exploration of individual topics.

Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations is an excellent textbook for courses on the numerical solution of differential equations at the upper-undergraduate and beginning graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for researchers in the fields of mathematics and engineering. ... Read more

The Black and White Comix
Though I certainly approve of this type of series generally, (Far, far better than not at all) I'm a little perplexed with the black and white format only.Couldn't color versions be offered for those of us who would be willing to pay more?I enjoyed the Frankenstein Monster, Dick Briefer was a genius, but I sorely missed the color.I feel I would be disappointed as well in the Mammoth Book of Best War Comics for the same reason, though apparently it does offer some color.Keep up the good work!

Missing In Action
As it is all a matter of Opinion, some of us will not agree with the Title of this Book as the End All / Do All Collection of The Greatest War Comics in the History of the Universe.

By not including ANYTHING from the DC or Marvel, War Machines, this Book has excluded: Sgt. Rock, Nick Fury, Enemy Ace and The Haunted Tank. Where are the EC Titles of the 1950's ? Not a mention of Joe Kubert, who without doubt is the Greatest Artist of Wartime Comics? Even if Greg Irons is included here, this is not even fair to him as he has Greater War Time Stories than the one that the Editors decided to use!

But, to be fair about it, One of the Best War Tales of Modern Times IS included in this Collection. "I Saw It", is a Modern Masterpiece, that belongs in any Best War Comics Collection. Will Eisner has a Superb Autobiographical Story here, the Fantastic; "Last Day In Vietnam". The First Episode of: "Charley's War" {A Personal Favorite of mine} is in this Book, and it does belong here.

Again, with the Omission of the DC and Marvel Comics, this is a Mis-Leading Title. There are some Fine War Comics included herein, and at 512 Pages, this is a Good Value for your Dollar.
This is a Good Collection that could have been so much better!
THREE STARS !!!

Great quality, great price
You really should not call a collection of war stories "best" if you have nothing from Marvel, DC or, especially, EC. That aside, the stories reprinted here range from excellent to "what-were-they-thinking?", although the latter are few and far between. The book includes stories by Will Eisner and Alex Toth, two comics greats, as well as Keiji Nakazawa's classic "I Saw It". They range in tone from virulently anti-war to pretty gung-ho, with most shades in between represented. The big surprise for me was the color section reprinting stories from Dell comics. The art by Sam Glanzman is predictably first rate, but I was surprised how good the stories were. Not every story in this book will appeal to every reader but there is so much here, you'll get your money's worth and then some, even if, like me, you are not particularly a fan of war comics.

The title can be misleading.
I assumed, based on the title and front cover, that this was going to be selections from the WWII comic books of the '60's like "St. Rock" and others. Basically this is a collection of cartoon essays all focusing on the horrors of war from WWI through the Gulf War including the Falklands conflict. (I wasn't out to glorify war, mind you, just indulge in a little boyhood nostalgia.) A better title would be "Best ANTI-War Comics." ... Read more
