Description: What don't we know, and why don't we know it? What keeps ignorance alive, or allows it to be used as a political instrument? Agnotology—the study of ignorance—provides a new theoretical perspective to broaden traditional questions about "how we know" to ask: Why don't we know what we don't know? The essays assembled in Agnotology show that ignorance is often more than just an absence of knowledge; it can also be the outcome of cultural and political struggles. Ignorance has a history and a political geography, but there are also things people don't want you to know ("Doubt is our product" is the tobacco industry slogan). Individual chapters treat examples from the realms of global climate change, military secrecy, female orgasm, environmental denialism, Native American paleontology, theoretical archaeology, racial ignorance, and more. The goal of this volume is to better understand how and why various forms of knowing do not come to be, or have disappeared, or have become invisible.

Description: For years, the National Lampoon has been soliciting readers for photographs of the weird signage that litters the American landscape, clippings of unintentional profanity or stupidity in newspapers, and other howlers of visual and written communication. This book collects the best from the archives. Although the book is most hilarious when viewed with the copious illustrations, some of the examples include: - Product Labels:"Try our cough syrup, you will never get any better"; "Walgreen's non-constipating slip-on thong sandals"
- Headlines: "2 Towns Vie for Pizza Hut Sewage"; "Multiple-personality rapist sentenced to two life terms"
- Store Signs: "Let us sniff your tailpipe"; "Perk up with a back-to-school spinal check-up"; "UAB University Inn Welcome Infectious and Parasitics"; "Now Hiring Liver & Onions"
- Newspaper Ads: "For sale: one inflatable sheep. Slightly used, $15"; "Blin Bookmart: Rare, out-of-print, & non-existent books"
Not only is truth stranger than fiction: but real life is often funnier than most comedians.

Description: The classic book on the human elements of software engineering. Software tools and development environments may have changed in the 21 years since the first edition of this book, but the peculiarly nonlinear economies of scale in collaborative work and the nature of individuals and groups has not changed an epsilon. If you write code or depend upon those who do, get this book as soon as possible -- from Amazon.com Books, your library, or anyone else. You (and/or your colleagues) will be forever grateful. Very Highest Recommendation.

Description: Who would have guessed that physics would become the hottest topic on Broadway? Handy Physics is just the book for anyone trying to get a handle on what is a difficult but extremely trendy science and is sure to help readers become more socially successful. What, really, does E=MC2 mean? More fun than a slide rule, Handy Physics tackles the big issues: Gravity. Magnetism. Matter. Sound. Light. And the smaller topics, like why do cats always land on their feet? Why don't birds or squirrels on power lines get electrocuted? Only Handy Physics combines elementary theory with heartwarming tales of small animals. For everyone who ever wondered how a light bulb works, The Handy Physics Answer Book examines more than 825 basic questions about physics and physicists, ranging from everyday life applications to the latest explorations in subatomic physics. The Handy Physics Answer Book disposes with the mathematical explanations and deep coma often associated with physics and instead takes a more conceptual approach – written in everyday English by yet another teacher. Other great stuff includes a list of the Nobel Prize winners in physics and suggestions for further reading. Ideal for students, science readers, theatergoers, and anyone reckoning with the essential questions about the universe we dwell within, Handy Physics is a friendly guide to the most significant scientific theories and discoveries of our time. And, we promise, no chalkboards.

Description: . . Where will your assets be when the storm hits? . . Like a devastating tornado, economic downturns can flatten some investments and leave others in good shape. But by interpreting the spending patterns of key segments of the population, you can predict where tomorrow's risks and rewards will be. Surviving the Storm gives you the tools to know why, where, and when large groups of people will be spending their money - and ultimately, whether the stock market is going to crash or soar. . . Written by noted financial speaker and columnist Jim Lunney, Surviving the Storm shows you how to analyze birthrates, spending patterns, and economic seasons to predict the best diversification of your portfolio. One of only a handful of certified demographers in the country, Lunney's strategy is based on logical science. Through his successful eight-step presentation, you can learn to see your portfolio through his eyes and plan your investment strategy based on when and why people do things. . . Armed with Jim Lunny's advice, you'll be able to predict the economic seasons and devise strategies that protect your financial health through even the harshest winter. . .

Description: Of course you have! (Or if you haven't, perhaps you should.) Now Mitchell Symons, the reigning King of All Pointless Trivia, carries his inquisitiveness unabashedly into the bedroom and emerges with a smile, answering not only the above but also a veritable "pornucopia" of scandalous and sexual conundrums. So for all of you burning to learn that an octopus has sex for ten straight hours or intensely curious about "uncircumcision," the astute Mr. Symons pulls back the covers to expose it all—from pick-up lines to popular positions to the greatest of all male and female sexual lies!
