It takes a look at women’s friendship at its wildest, adventurous best—the antics, the escapades, the risk taking, the loyalty, the irrepressible humor and merriment. Read about Dolly Parton’s escapades with her friends in high school, Fergie’s and Diana’s night on the town during Andrew’s bachelor party, how Sharon Stone literally gave Mimi Craven the shirt off her back, and the time when Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn faced down the Coal Miner’s Daughter’s detractors.

Or La Bella Mafia, a girl gang dedicated to glorious divadom who right wrongs and overdress for every occasion. It’s a Chick Thing also includes chick resources such as “Shoo Fly Be Gone,” a list of verbal comebacks for getting rid of those pesky men who interrupt your girls’ nights out and “Chick Stars,” an astrological guide to finding your most compatible (and incompatible) friends. There are also handy chickcentric lists including “Chicks That Rock,” “Chick Reads,” “Chick Flicks,” and “Chick Cliques.” “Full of fun and female frolic. Read it with your best friend and then cut loose.” —Alicia Alvrez, author of The Ladies’ Room Reader “Depicts female friendship at its fìnest.” —Autumn Stephens, author of Wild Women

The Most Perfect Thing
Author: Tim Birkhead
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408851261
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
'I think that, if required on pain of death to name instantly the most perfect thing in the universe, I should risk my fate on a bird's egg' Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 1862 How are eggs of different shapes made, and why are they the shape they are? When does the shell of an egg harden? Why do some eggs contain two yolks? How are the colours and patterns of an eggshell created, and why do they vary? And which end of an egg is laid first – the blunt end or the pointy end? These are just some of the questions A Bird's Egg answers, as the journey of a bird's egg from creation and fertilisation to its eventual hatching is examined, with current scientific knowledge placed within an historical context. Beginning with an examination of the stunning eggs of the guillemot, each of which is so variable in pattern and colour that no two are ever the same, acclaimed ornithologist Tim Birkhead then looks at the eggs of hens, cuckoos and many other birds, revealing weird and wonderful facts about these miracles of nature. Woven around and supporting these facts are extraordinary stories of the individuals who from as far back as Ancient Egypt have been fixated on the study and collection of eggs, not always to the benefit of their conservation. Firmly grounded in science and enriched by a wealth of observation drawn from a lifetime spent studying birds,A Bird's Egg is an illuminating and engaging exploration of the science behind eggs and the history of man's obsession with them.

101 Things to Definitely Not Do if You Want to Get a Chick
Author: Will Forte
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316464201
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
From the creator and star of Fox's hit comedy The Last Man on Earth, star of the cult film Macgruber, and beloved Saturday Night Live alum, a hilariously absurd cartoon gift book offering a wry commentary on modern relationships. In this outrageously funny and oddly wise guide to relationships, forty-five-year-old bachelor Will Forte shares his bulletproof advice for attracting-and retaining-a romantic partner of the fairer sex. Told in the form of 101 hand-drawn rules of thumb, the book takes on all the questions men are dying to know the answers to but are too afraid to ask: What activities are acceptable and not acceptable to do with a romantic interest's father? What animals, if any, should never be incorporated into foreplay? Should I claim to have collaborated with a famous poet? Combining wisdom, both practical and not, with idiosyncratic drawings so simple that even a romantically frustrated man-child could understand them, 101 Things to Definitely Not Do If You Want to Get a Chick gracefully answers these questions and ninety-eight others.
