If you think dating is a simple process--meet someone, ask him or her for a date or get asked out yourself, try not to come off as a drooling moron, then arrange to get together for a second date or cut your losses and work to meet someone else--well, lucky you. For many people, it’s far more complicated than that, and Dr. Joy Browne addresses those complexities in Dating for Dummies. Exactly how do you meet a potential date? How do you present yourself in the most favorable light? How do you negotiate that first date? (One interesting story Browne tells is of a couple who negotiated a w

This volume consists of almost 1600 alphabetically arranged entries intended, collectively, to define popular culture in the United States. Determined and contributed by some 500 experts, the entries are representative, though not comprehensive, and vary from the inclusive and general (golf, domestic decorations, horror films) to specific individuals, items, and events; they are supplemented by bibiographies, cross-references, and a comprehensive index. Altogether, the volume offers a mosaic background made up of representative, though not all, parts of popular culture, standing out
