Summary

Your prep guide to this test called life—from outdoor skills to taming the urban wild, car care to cooking, handy manning to managing a hangover. 
 
Armed with the proper set of skills, there is no beast a man cannot tame, no problem he cannot solve, no wine he cannot appraise, no meat he cannot grill, and no woman he cannot amaze. All that lies between you (or your man) and becoming uber-evolved is mastering the wisdom contained in this humble book called Manskills. 
 
But you must learn these lessons well. When that angry she-bear lunges, you won’t have time to Google “surviving animal attacks.” When your boss’s wife offers you a morsel of cave-aged Gorgonzola she’s not expecting you to wolf down that hunk of blue mold and say “Cheesy!” 
 
With instructive illustrations, the skills are organized by categories such as:Shelter Savvy—remove a stripped screw, handle a jackhammer, stop a toilet from running . . .Wild Ways—Build an igloo, stitch your own wound, catch a fish without a rod and reel . . .Social Graces—sew on a button, order wine like you know what you’re doing, ease a hangover . . .Emergency!—save someone from drowning, use a fire extinguisher, bust down a door . . .Romantic Prowess—plan the perfect romantic dinner, meet her parents, pick a diamond . . . 
 
to name just a few 
 
By developing your manskills, you’ll avoid life’s pitfalls and become a complex, sophisticated person of confidence, competence, and vigor. Good for you!

    Neil Sedaka had more than a dozen hits from 1958 to 1963, but his career slumped with the arrival of the British Invasion. In 1974 he found his way back to the charts with “Laughter in the Rain.” In March of that year, Wink Martindale sat with Sedaka to discuss his early career and his thrilling comeback. Sedaka recounts his early life as a child receiving classical music training and secretly writing pop songs, despite his sister telling him to stick to the classics. Sedaka clearly made the right call as he went on to achieve great success despite the ups and downs of his career as he cheerfully details in this enthralling conversation.

    The portrait of a "traditional" household—with a mom and dad raising two biological kids under one roof—is just one of many in an expansive gallery that also portrays families with single parents, same sex parents, foster and adopted children, grandparents as guardians, step-siblings, and more. In this Raising Curious Learners episode, our hosts add to a larger conversation happening at Britannica for Parents: how do we better represent different types of families? They are joined by Juliet C. Bond, social worker and co-author of the award-winning "Jazzy's Quest" series, which features adoptees as main characters plus family structures and real life situations not often covered in children's literature.
