Thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and company, our generation is now comfortable laughing about the big O over coffee-and thanks to our modern, metrosexual husbands, we can share equally diaper duty and hair gel. But as swinging and savvy as new parents are today, there's still one very old-fashioned topic we just don't know how to talk about: sex after the baby. "Love in the Time of Colic" takes on new parents' pregnancy and post-partum sex and relationship issues with boldness, candour, and humour not offered anywhere else.Tired and distracted new parents will stay engaged with plenty of fresh, hip, frank, and funny banter that gives equal attention to the female and male points of view. This book is about change: the changes that parenthood wreaks on your sex life, and how to adapt to those changes without letting them master you. Today's couples want straightforward, quick answers to questions they're too embarrassed to ask their friends or doctors. This book will help them rediscover what is passionate and fun about the act that got them into this baby mess in the first place (and what a beautiful mess it can be)!

The pieces were published in the past thirty years in such popular magazines as "The New Yorker", "McSweeney's", "The Atlantic", "National Lampoon", and "Outside". But the book also includes a handful of older comic masterpieces that nobody in need of a laugh should ever be without, among them classics by Bret Harte, Elizabeth Bishop, Donald Barthelme, and Mark Twain.

Let us suppose for a moment that paper were to disappear. Would anything be lost? Everything would be lost.Paper surrounds us.

We are paper people.But the age of paper is coming to an end. E-books regularly outsell physical books. E-tickets replace the paper variety. Archives are digitized. The world we know was made from paper, and yet everywhere we look, paper is beginning to disappear. As we enter a world beyond paper, Ian Sansom explores the paradoxes of the greatest of man-made materials and shows how some kinds of paper, and the ghosts and shadows of paper, will always be with us.Paper: An Elegy is a history of paper in all its forms and functions. Both a cultural study and a series of personal reflections on the meaning of paper, this book is a timely meditation on the very paper it is printed on.

Part reference book, part history, and part road map to the connectivity of popular music, this book is a must for all rock ‘n’ roll fans as it brings together a compilation of over two hundred genres of rock music—an entertaining, enlightening, knotty family tree of America’s favorite musical genre.In the six decades since rock ’n’ roll stole America’s soul, the single genre has produced over two hundred sub-genres. The days of being able to walk in to a Tower Records and seek out recommendations from an aloof, all-knowing staffer has been relegated to a long-lost Generation X paradise preserved in John Hughes films. From iTunes to Spotify, listeners now regularly turn to algorithms instead of human advice to develop relationships with the music they love.The essential companion for any rock lover’s collection—be it on vinyl or Spotify playlists—Appetite for Definition breaks down algorithms into their human stories and interconnected histories. It provides and pulls up recommendations from a deeper well of consideration and gives you the tools to do the same. Operating on a macro level it surveys the myriad microlevel movements into an accessible map that readers can use to navigate the vast, craggy terrain of rock music and take their rock knowledge—whether casual or obsessive—to the next level.
