It’s definitely on the expensive side – $175, on sale for $160 – but it’s a beautifully bound, hardcover coffee table book that will provide years of enjoyment and education for the whole family. For the price of a couple video games, that’s seems like an awesome deal.

101 Things Every Man Should Know How To Do… According to the description, these include things like growing a beard, bribing the cable guy, and looking good in a speedo.

What I’m really curious about is the book Forbidden Knowledge: 101 Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do. I wonder if there’s any overlap for the things. One obvious example is wearing a speedo. Sure, looking good in a speedo is fine – but if you aren’t a competitive swimmer or from Greece, you probably shouldn’t go near them. Just my two cents.

What is The Geek Atlas? It’s a book about various places around the world where you can get a first-hand view of science. There 128 places around the world where you can visit nuclear sites, dams, solar arrays, and more. It’s really very interesting, and a great gift for a geek.
