Using profiles, stories, letters, poems, essays, historical vignettes, and myths to bring his subject to life, The Book of Man defines what a man should be, how he should live, and to what he should aspire in several key areas of life: war, work, leisure, and more. "Whether we take up the sword, the plow, the ball, the gavel, our children, or our Bibles," says Bennett, "we must always do it like the men we are called to be." The Book of Man shows how.

From the civilization of the Lower Nile to that of the Lower Hudson, more poets have written more convincingly, more poignantly about love than about any other subject. Jon Stallworthy has here selected some of the most moving, funny, shameless, and erotic love poems in the English language. Representing the work of more than 190 poets, from Sappho to Byron and Browning, from Rossetti to Wordsworth and E. E. Cummings, he offers a startling collection of love poetry down throughout the ages. Arranged thematically, beginning with the first dawnings of young love and ending with the "long look back" of the aged, and revealing love in all its different aspects and perversities, this anthology demonstrates vividly man's changeless responses to the changing seasons of the heart.

Whenever investors trade stocks, brokerage fees eat up a sizable portion of their investment. DRIPs (dividend reinvestment plans), however, offer a safe, proven alternative investors can use to avoid those steep fees and still build a winning portfolio. Sponsored by Dow Theory Forecasts, a well-known and highly respected investment newsletter, Buying Stocks Without a Broker is the most comprehensive guide available for investing through DRIPs. It fully explains what DRIPs, are, details the types of plans available, and discusses how these plans may be used by every investor to build a profitable portfolio. It shows how to enroll in company programs, discusses tax implications, and demystifies the optional cash payment programs permitted under most DRIPs-programs that allow investors to purchase high-priced, blue-chip stocks for as little as $10 at a time.
