Book Description
The book is basically quotes and thoughts of mine as well men I've come across in my life. Topics covered include religion, politics, pop culture, philosophy, belief systems, drug and alcohol issues, relationship issues, mental and emotional issues, raising kids, homosexuality and sex of almost every kind. All three books in the series are intense, raw, very funny, very hot, insightful, touching and very anti establishment. The basic premise is that a man can pick up this book and see that he is not alone in with his thoughts, feelings, fears, pain and desires. A woman can read it and see what's going on in the minds of men. They can learn about thoughts and feelings that men often keep to themselves and even rarely share with other men. Not everyone loves every quote, but there is something for everyone in these books and they are guaranteed to have you laughing out loud, grossed out, pissed off, thinking deeply, touched emotionally or stimulated sexually.

Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of The Wait and “spiritual teacher for our times” (Oprah Winfrey) frankly and openly explores why men behave the way they do and what everyone—men and women alike—need to know about it. We hear it all the time. Men cheat. Men love power. Men love sex. Men are greedy. Men are dogs. But is this really the truth about men? In this groundbreaking book, DeVon Franklin dishes the real truth by making the compelling case that men aren’t dogs but all men share the same struggle. He provides the manual for how men can change, both on a personal and a societal level by providing practical solutions for helping men learn how to resist temptation, how to practice self-control, and how to love. But The Truth About Men isn’t just for men. DeVon tells female readers everything they need to know about men. He offers women a real-time understanding of how men’s struggles affect them, insights that can help them navigate their relationships with men and information on how to heal from the damage that some misbehaving men may have inflicted. This book is a raw, informative, and accessible look at an issue that threatens to tear our society apart yet it offers a positive way forward for men and women alike.

Book Description
The telltale fingerprint. The DNA traced from a hair. Autopsies to establish cause and time of death. Ballistics to discover what gun was used. Tyre prints, dentals records, body fluids, maggots . . . It’s all the stuff of the modern police drama, of CSI, of twenty-first-century TV private eyes. But forensics is a very real and vital part of solving any crime. And with modern technologies, the science of forensics has never been more relevant. Sandra Mara delves into the fascinating world of the forensics investigator. She describes how the Garda’s Forensic Science Laboratory has cracked some of Ireland’s most notorious crimes, and she also looks at the forensics behind some of the most notorious crimes in the UK and US, such as cases like the Yorkshire Ripper and Harold “Dr Death” Shipman. She writes in – literally – forensic detail about the clues that have led to the high-profile arrests of murderers and criminals such as Gerald Barry, Sharon Collins and the Mulhall sisters. Sandra also speaks to some of the world’s top experts on forensic science to explore the next generation of technologies and techniques. From retina scanning to ballistics, toxicology to handwriting analysis, pathology to criminal profiling, the world of Dead Men Talk will draw you in and leave you breathless.

Book Description
The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Book Description
Mars and Venus head to work... Day-to-day, face-to-face workplace communication between men and women is often dysfunctional because each gender employs different speech patterns. When careers and paychecks are on the line, clear communication is crucial-from the mailroom to the boardroom. Code Switching explains what to say, how to say it, how to be taken seriously, and how to act while speaking with the opposite sex for maximum effectiveness in the workplace. Included are: •How men and women manage conversation, and the value of "chitchat" prior to a meeting. •How men use language to impart information and women use language to build or indicate relationship. •How men use e-mail to emphasize control while women use it to share and build rapport. •How women can use language to build their credibility. •How humor is used as a power play, to build territory, or to exclude others. •How gender talk creates and shapes work relationships.
