Why Do Men Have Nipples? – Hundreds of Questions You’d Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini
Why Do Men Have Nipples? - Hundreds Of Questions You'd Only
Why Do Men Have Nipples? – Hundreds of Questions You’d Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini
Three Rivers Press | July 26, 2005 | English | ISBN-10: 1400082315 | 224 pages | PDF | 2.5 MB

Urban legends and perennial wonders get a witty treatment in this lighthearted guide to largely inconsequential yet intriguing aspects of the human body. Leyner, a novelist whose writing appears regularly in the New Yorker and GQ, and New York physician Goldberg address food and the body (does coffee stunt your growth?), “body oddities” (what are goose bumps?), folk remedies (does breast milk cure warts?), drugs (does marijuana help glaucoma?), bathroom humor (why can you ignite a fart?), medical media (is the show ER accurate?), old wives tales (can lip balm be addictive?) and aging (why do old ladies grow beards?). And then there’s the sex chapter-definitely the one where the subtitle is most applicable, with questions like “can people in wheelchairs still have sex?” and “do the kind of underpants men wear affect their fertility?” The book includes e-mail interactions between the authors, which are sometimes funny. Some of the authors’ answers are unsatisfactory and, as a whole, this is much more of a humor book than a health one. The truly curious will find better, more in-depth answers on medical Web sites, but those looking for a good laugh will have some fun with this book.

The Physics Of Vibrations And Waves

The Physics of Vibrations and Waves

The Physics Of Vibrations And Waves

ISBN: 0470012951 Publisher: Wiley Author: H. J. Pain

Description:
The main theme of this highly successful book is that the transmission of energy by wave propogation is fundamental to almost every branch of physics. Therefore, besides giving students a thorough grounding in the theory of waves and vibrations, the book also demonstrates the pattern and unity of a large part of physics. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and has been redeisgned to meet the best contemporary standards. It includes new material on electron waves in solids using the Kronig-Penney model to show how their allowed energies are limited to Brillouin zones, The role of phonons is also discussed. An Optical Transform is used to demonstrate the modern method of lens testing. In the last two chapters the sections on chaos and solitons have been reduced but their essential contents remain. As with earlier editions, the book has a large number of problems together with hints on how to solve them. The Physics of Vibrations and Waves, 6th Edition will prove invaluable for students taking a first full course in the subject across a variety of disciplines particularly physics, engineering and mathematics.

Html & Xhtml: The Complete Reference (osborne Complete R

HTML & XHTML: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series)
By Thomas Powell

* Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media
* Number Of Pages: 956
*
Product Description:

Construct awesome Web pages using HTML, XHTML, XML, basic JavaScript, both CSS (style sheet) specifications, and DHTML. This thorough resource provides explanations of why tags work as they do, rather than just giving basic descriptions of them. Plus, use a companion Web site that features layout examples and allows visitors to sample HTML for their own uses.

One Stop Reference.

If you are looking to buy just one book on HTML and RELATED technologies book, then this is it. A COMPREHENSIVE book. Explains every thing in a very lucid way. Easily assimilate complex topics with this book. The future is in HTML/XHTML and Javascript. Get this book and get ready.

If you are starting out with HTML/XHTML, you might be advised to get a tutorial. This work appears to begin with basics, but even the early chapters provide much more information than a novice wants or needs. (The “Links” chapter–Chapter 4–for example, describes all types of links, many of which a beginning web page author probably won’t need to know about until he or she has acquired quite a bit more experience.
That said, this book is a good reference with lots of helpful tips. It may not be as complete as other reviewers hoped, but I have found it quite handy for learning many advanced topics. And, although the edition I have (the 4th) has been out a couple of years, the material is still mostly uptodate. In short, it is a very good resource.

The best I could find on XHTML

I spent many hours reading through books on xhtml to find the best reference manual. This is the book that I chose. I find it very easy to locate the data I need and exceptionally thorough. There are plenty of good clean code html & xhtml examples. But what makes this book a book that you will keep, are the tables in the back defining everything from attributes to special character codes. It is after all a reference manual. Like most technical subjects, each book seems to have an area where it shines. None have it all. However, this book is the best overall.

Ms Office Access 2003 Inside Out

Ms Office Access 2003 Inside Out

Author(s): John L. Viescas
Publisher: MS Press
Year: 2004
ISBN: 0735615136
Language: English
Pages: 1288
File type: PDF
Size : 20 MB

Access is just one part of MS’s overall data management product strategy. Like all good relational databases, it allows you to link related information easily—for example, customer and order data that you enter. But Access also complements other database products because it has several powerful connectivity features. As its name implies, Access can work directly with data from other sources, including many popular PC database programs (such as dBASE and Paradox); with many SQL (structured query language) databases on the desktop, on servers, on minicomputers, or on mainframes; and with data stored on Internet or intranet Web servers.

Access also fully supports MS’s ActiveX technology, so an Access application can be either a client or a server for all the other Office applications, including MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, FrontPage, Publisher, and the new MS OneNote.

Access provides a very sophisticated application development system for the MS Windows operating system. This helps you build applications quickly, whatever the data source. In fact, you can build simple applications by defining forms and reports based on your data and linking them with a few Visual Basic statements; there’s no need to write complex code in the classic programming sense. Because Access uses Visual Basic, you can use the same set of skills with other applications in MS Office or with MS Visual Basic.

MS Access can also act as a direct source of information published on an intranet or the World Wide Web. Data access pages let you quickly create and deploy intranet applications using pages that you create directly from Access much like you would create an Access application form. Data access pages can retrieve and update data stored either in an Access database or in MS SQL Server. MS Access 2003 includes new and enhanced features to allow you to export or import data in XML format (the lingua franca of data stored on the Web) or to directly link to an XML data source on a MS SharePoint Services Web site. You can export data (or subsets of data) stored in a MS Access or SQL Server database to a SharePoint server and then link those files back into your original application.

Part 1 – Understanding MS Access
Part 2 – Building a MS Access Desktop Application
Part 3 – Creating Forms and Reports in a Desktop Application
Part 4 – Designing an Access Project
Part 5 – Automating an Access Application
Part 6 – Linking Access and the Web
