AND -- FOR BETTER OR WORSE -- THERE'S NO LAST CALL. Millions of gay men are searching for love. And the vast majority of them are now searching online. But while the Internet helps bring people together, its anonymity, lack of rules, and easy stage for false advertising often result in disappointing matches. But the right guy is out there. Chances are good that every gay man could find exactly what he's looking for online . . . if he only knew where and how to look. In M4M , Jack Mauro offers candid, witty advice on every aspect of the gay online-dating arena -- how to (and how not to) compose a successful profile, what kind of photo to use ("normal," naked, and everything in between), the art of instant messaging (from the basics to advanced seduction), "straight" men in gay chats, navigating the usual suspects found in seemingly every chat room, taking it offline, and much, much more. Whether the goal is a quick fling or a lifelong...

TRAVERSING PHILOSOPHICAL BOUNDARIES is the most comprehensive multicultural text/reader for introductory philosophy. Addressing six primary philosophical concerns?the self, reality, epistemology, ethics, politics, and religion?this book contains not only many readings from the Western canon, but also essential readings from many cultural perspectives not typically included in introductory philosophy classes. Asian, African, African-American, Latin American, and Feminist traditions are broadly represented and fully integrated into the exploration of these fundamental matters.

D.V. Bugg

This new edition of Professor Bugg's highly successful textbook presents a comprehensive yet concise introduction to topics encountered in a typical undergraduate "electronics for scientists" course. It offers a complete introduction to the fundamentals of AC and DC circuits and feedback. The book concludes with more advanced chapters on resonance and Fourier analysis. Changes in this edition reflect to some extent the progress in the field but also the changes in teaching practice that have taken place over the past decade. The book is ideal for use with a laboratory-based course and is fully illustrated throughout with numerous worked examples and sample problems.

An international cadre of leading thinkers and experimenters provide their considered opinions concerning the influence of digital technology on teaching and learning in general, and the role of the library in the educational enterprise in particular. Topic treatments include envisioning the future, facing major challenges, creating projects and programs, and developing digital libraries. A must-read for anyone involved in higher education.

Part of the McGraw-Hill Core Concepts in Electrical Engineering Series, Circuits and Networks: Analysis and Synthesis is designed as a textbook for an introductory circuits course at the intermediate undergraduate level. The book may also be appealing to a non-major survey course in electrical engineering course as well. A primary goal in Circuits and Networks is to establish a firm understanding of the basic laws of electrical circuits, and to provide students with a working knowledge of the commonly used methods of analysis in electrical engineering. This is a concise, less expensive alternative. This series is edited by Dick Dorf.
