Book Description
Increasing word power sounds like one of those dreary chores best palmed off on somebody else. The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder, the first in Fall Media's series of irreverent, educational books, makes the activity not only endurable but irresistible. The authors use classic dissing and one-upmanship to slyly introduce young readers to a wide range of words. A typical entry, for "emaciated," first presents the word as a joke ("Yo momma's so emaciated, she can hula hoop in a fruit loop."). The pronunciation is then given, along with a detailed, humor-inflected definition ("too skinny . . . skeletal") that invokes pop culture phenomena like supermodels, the Olson twins, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, and Ally McBeal. The book ties neatly into the "Yo Momma" phenomenon seen in recent MTV shows as well as books and games, and is an ideal gift choice for parents and educators looking to give young people a book they'll enjoy and share.

Book Description
Everyone has his or her price; this book attempts to determine what that price is. Authors David Gomberg and Justin Heimberg are sure that at least some readers will eat their own cats or dogs, but how much would they have to be paid for the privilege? And going to Starbucks in a thong and pasties would require how much of a payoff: $1,000? $10,000? This droll book is an instant conversation-starter that also holds up a mirror to readers' hidden selves.

Planet Cancer
Author: Heidi Di Adams
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0762766654
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Tapping the collective wisdom of the young adult cancer community Each year, nearly 70,000 young adults between 18 and 40 are diagnosed in the United States with cancer. While there are many sources of information for patients, the special concerns of this age group are rarely discussed. One remarkable exception is PlanetCancer.org. For nearly a decade, those in this “gap” age have sought out this online community for resources, networks, and support from those who have been there and done that. Planet Cancer is an honest, down-to-earth guide to living in this new world, from Diagnosis to Post-Treatment. Each chapter is informed by Planet Cancer’s voice—authoritative, funny, friendly, no-nonsense. Experts address issues from all sides around bedrock “What It’s Really Like” essays: deeply personal, unflinching, and often hilarious pieces written by people who actually experienced on Planet Cancer things like banking sperm, adopting a child, or undergoing brain radiation. The book, enlivened with quotes and real-life stories from Planet Cancer members, gives the uninitiated a sense of community and removes some of the mystery and fear of the unknown. Planet Cancer is now a LIVESTRONG initiative.

There’s only one thing that Coolio’s been doing longer than rapping: cooking. His recipes are built around solid comfort foods with a healthy twist that don’t break the bank.

The book covers everything: -How to Become a Kitchen Pimp -The Rules of the Ghetto Gourmet to everything you'll need to make a complete meal -Pimpin’ the poultry -Sinful steaks -It’s Hard Out Here for a Shrimp -Chillin’ and Grillin’ As Coolio says, “All you need is a little bit of food, and a little bit of know-how.”
