good as it gets
those familiar with comic books in the 1950s need no explanation of the popularity of the little lulu series. it was funny. (who needs political humor). i would like to comment on what a great book this is. vibrantly colorful, almost full comic book size, on thick glossy pages with thick paperback cover. though nothing can replace the good old days of going to the local store each week to buy the latest comic books, this is certainly a close second. hats off to dark horse publications for a great product for those who remember and for those who will discover little lulu.

John Stanley Rules
John Stanley was one of the gods of comic storytelling and this collection is Exhibit A. After reading his stuff for Bushmiller's NANCY and some of the other work he did for the funny animal comics, I started reading this collection and it hit me right away: Stanley loves the Little Lulu characters. He infuses them with such depth and delineates them with such detail and humor and love that they live. I don't know of a single other comic character that you can re-read over and over with such pure pleasure as Stanley's Little Lulu stories. Brilliant, just brilliant.

Fun for all ages
John Stanley's Little Lulu stories are a treat for the child still inside all of us. While not as revered as Schulz's Peanuts, Stanley know how to present children in situations that bring a smile to your face. As a "serious" comic book fan who grew up reading the superhero action and drama of Lee, Kirby and Ditko, I missed out on these stories the first time around. I've latched onto them when Dark Horse began reprinting them as I had read of John Stanley and was not disappointed. Not only did I enjoy them but my brother and friends did as well. What really makes me happy is that I passed many of these books on to my local library and they are being read and well worn. Pass them on to the kids!

It's a Lulu!
As her many fans know, Marge's Little Lulu circulated in the days of Dell, when comics were a dime, gradually easing their way up to a quarter. To get those comics nowadays in readable shape requires a bit of an outlay on E-Bay. Even new comics these days run around three bucks, only about thirty times more than in the dime days. No wonder the perennial reissues of popular lines garner so much attention.

The Another Rainbow hardback Little Lulu collection was slipcased with color covers, but even that had black and white internal art, as do most of the Dark Horse reissues. This full color collection is the odd duck, but not quite: Dark Horse's Little Lulu Color Special from 2006 preceded it. That paperback measured 10 X 6.5 inches, 208 pages, and retailed for 13.95. This new color collection is 9 X 6 inches, the same size as the black and white Dark Horse series, 200 pages, retailing at 14.95. It's the first in a series of color collections, which unlike the black and white books, are not numbered.

What readers probably are wondering is why isn't this rated a five? For one thing, if books have to be printed in China, we're not really making five star books. Apart from that, though, the printing is very grainy, unlike the pristine color special, which seemed to be a one-off and a class act all the way, itself now going the way of the E-bay auction.

The Color Special editors picked and chose its contents between Little Lulu #4 and #86. "The Alamo and Other Stories" contains comics 88-93. I suppose that Classic Media owns the rights to the modern Little Lulu design created by CINAR in Canada for the animated Little Lulu Show, which ran on HBO, but it's always disconcerting to see these designs used on reissued Little Lulu material. Here it's on both the front and back cover.

What one reads these comics for, of course, is the deft and humorous writing and drawing of John Stanley and artwork of Irving Tripp. The bottom line is here's the most reasonable way to get five entire Little Lulu comics, which will appeal to collectors, who may be filing away the originals in archival bags, but would yet like a copy to reread the stories (and gaze at the whimsical art). But be ye forewarned. Collectors who leave these comics around on the coffee table may find their guests becoming fans.Little Lulu Color SpecialLittle Lulu: The Bawlplayers And Other StoriesLittle Lulu: Miss Feeny's Folly And Other Stories

Dark Horse resumes the series
After wrapping up its numbered series of LITTLE LULU reprint volumes some time ago, Dark Horse steps beyond the black-and-white boundaries of THE LITTLE LULU LIBRARY and reprints LL #88-93 (1955-56) in color. Unlike the previous LITTLE LULU COLOR SPECIAL, the coloring here appears to be taken from the original comics (you can tell by the "stippled" faces and occasional boundary transgressions), which may tick off some sticklers. The quality of John Stanley's stories remains high, though Irving Tripp's artwork gets a little rougher towards the end (watch for the "non-pointy" noses to begin to appear) and Stanley's "story-telling stories" are now wholly reliant on Witch Hazel and Little Itch. The headlined story "The Alamo" (which concerns depredations done to Davy Crockett coonskin caps -- one of the few times, BTW, that Stanley seems to have paid the slightest attention to pop-culture fads going on around him) is actually buried in the middle of the book; I'd have preferred that Dark Horse continued the "tradition" of generic titles from the numbered issues. This will be a big summer for Stanley fans, as Drawn & Quarterly will soon begin issuing its JOHN STANLEY LIBRARY collections of Stanley's non-LULU work. The fact that Dark Horse will continue to release LULU collections is, of course, the best news of all. ... Read more

Not a bad book.
This book isn't all that bad at all. It has a lot of information on frequency domain calculations and Fourier analysis. It has some decent information on calculating transfer functions of various passive and active filters. The math isn't crazy intense. While there is some calculus, the majority of problems I've encountered were easily solved using elementary algebra with some complex numbers and trigonometry. I bought this book for a signal analysis class and have relied on it in the workplace as well. Some of the topics are pretty interesting such as frequency translation, transmission lines, oscillators and the very useful filters, just to name a few. I wish the book went into more detail on some of the filter topologies. In some cases, it has a filter response, tells you the topology then goes onto another topic. Overall, not a bad book.

printed on ugly beige paper!
I was so disappointed buy this book! Not only doesn't it include the Nancy covers, but for some reason the lay-out person decided to print the Nancy pages on the most awful beige/orange kitschy fake old paper, which makes the drawings look like mud. Then he added a new, Nancy inspired, cover and designs (like a print of her skirt covering two pages) which I would say is irreverent. Why not use one of the original covers for the cover and respect the original work by printing it on normal paper?

NANCY BOOK
WHY WAS THERE NO DUST COVER?I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT AND IT MADE THE BOOK LOOK REALLY CHEAP.
THE COMICS WERE NOT FROM THE SUNDAY PAPER AS I'D HOPED.

Stanley tries his hand at Bushmiller's creations
To start on an ominous note: a number of people appear to have the wrong idea about the issue numbers and dates for this volume. The title page says that the book contains stories from Dell NANCY #146-150 (1957-58). In searching out appropriate screen grabs for the blog post, however, I found an electronic copy of the first story, "Oona Goosepimple," complete with original Dell indicia -- and, guess what, it first appeared in NANCY #162 (April 1959). Wikipedia, and the estimable Don Markstein, come closer than D&Q, but they miss the target as well, with each citing NANCY #166 as the site of Oona's debut. So both the Internet and the "dead tree peddlers" struck out in this case.

Actually, the first appearance of the Wednesday Addams-like Oona highlights an important point about Stanley's approach to Ernie Bushmiller's characters. Having pretty much burned out on LITTLE LULU, Stanley was probably delighted to put a new set of "Lulu-esque" characters through their paces. The fact that Nancy, Sluggo, and company were well-established figures in a popular, long-running comic strip, however, must have given the creator some pause. Lulu, who began her career as a pantomime character in gag cartoons, had had plenty of room for development when Stanley began to flesh out her neighborhood. Nancy and Sluggo may have had shallow, uninspired personalities, but Stanley must have felt that he needed to hew to them, at least for a while, as he settled down to his task. One can therefore regard the eccentric Oona's appearance as something of a "sowing of the wind" with an eye towards reaping a later "whirlwind" of story possibilities. The rest of the early stories in this collection are fairly unremarkable, making Oona -- a black-clad girl with beady eyes who gives everyone around her a case of nerves and lives in a spooky house with a surprise (usually of the nasty variety) around every corner -- stand out all the more starkly.

Once Stanley gets his feet under him, he begins to pull Nancy and Sluggo in directions the unimaginative Bushmiller would never have contemplated (though Dan Gormley's art, if a bit more unpredictable than Bushmiller's, does give the comics the same stodgy look as the comic strip). You can see it coming when Stanley devotes an entire one-page gag to sending up Liberace in the person of "La Plunke," an impresario with a rhinestone-studded piano. For panel after panel, Nancy makes bitchy comments about La Plunke's talents, or lack thereof, climaxing by claiming that La Plunke, and not his piano, should be "hung" when she sees the latter getting lowered out of the stage door. Nancy's remarks scandalize her Aunt Fritzi a bit, which seems only right, as Nancy's relationship with her aunt is a lot more abrasive than Lulu's with her parents. Perhaps Stanley thought that Fritzi's not being Nancy's mother gave him a bit more leeway. Likewise, after treating Sluggo as a generic boy character in earlier stories, Stanley takes Bushmiller's notion of Sluggo as a "dead-end kid" and runs with it. In "Lower Education," Nancy forces Sluggo to go to school but thinks better of it after Sluggo starts fantasizing about using his education to become President. She ultimately convinces the janitor to keep Sluggo in the basement and have him sweep floors. Tubby may have played hooky on occasion, but the existence of parental figures in the LITTLE LULU "universe" wouldn't have allowed for this sort of a cynical resolution.

Stanley's innovations in handling the NANCY characters didn't prevent him from borrowing liberally from the LULU "template." Rich kid Rollo Haveall is basically Wilbur van Snobbe, take two, while the crook Bill Bungle (aka Bill Bungler, aka Bill Bumble -- perhaps Bill's incompetence was catching) reflects Stanley's apparent delight in using an adult figure who is hopelessly inept at his supposed specialty, a la the truant officer Mr. McNabbem in the LULU stories. If the NANCY stories -- even at their best -- fall a little short of the quality of the LULU oeuvre, then one reason may be the lack of a strong "bench" of supporting players. In the stories collected here, at least, Nancy has no "girl sidekick" to compare with Lulu's Annie; eager though Oona is to make friends and do things with Nancy, she's essentially a walk-on oddball. Likewise, the annoying neighbor kid Pee Wee isn't nearly as memorable (or annoying) as Alvin of "Story Telling Time" fame. Given the raw materials that he had to work with, however, Stanley's NANCY tales are unexpectedly fun and entertaining.

The last page of this volume has a picture of John Stanley (in the company of his editor Oscar LeBeck, Dan Gormley, and other worthies at Western's New York office) and a brief biography -- which just happens to be the same one that appeared at the end of the earlier MELVIN MONSTER collection. What this Library really needs is a volume-by-volume, bit-by-bit biography of Stanley in the manner of the articles that appeared in Another Rainbow's LITTLE LULU LIBRARY. As long as Fantagraphics keeps reprinting the same two-page Charles Schulz bio in THE COMPLETE PEANUTS, though, I suppose it would be somewhat hypocritical of me to complain about D&Q dropping the ball.

WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL COVERS???
Beautiful hardcover edition. All pages are fullcollor perfect reproductions of the great originals. But once again, WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL COVERS??? Someone at Drawn and Quarterly is messing up all this John Stanley collection. So please, in the next volumes, PLEASE, DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL COVERS!!! PLEASE!

Fritzi Ritz Revisited
Comic book fans got a taste of things to come when Drawn and Quarterly released a 32 page Melvin Monster/ Nancy combo comic on Free Comic Book Day. Melvin materialized as the first volume in the John Stanley Library, and here's Nancy as the second. Melvin was entirely a Stanley creation, but Nancy's creator was Ernie Bushmiller. Nancy also began life in the newspaper comic, Fritzi Ritz, in the early '30s, graduating to her own strip in 1938. She went on to become one of the best-loved comic strips in history.

Nancy began appearing in St. John comics in 1955, and had her own Dell title by 1957. John Stanley, the brilliant cartoonist, writer, and storyboard artist of all things Dell, handled the title there, and thus this volume's inclusion in this series. Nancy: Volume One reprints the Nancy stories from the first five Dell titles, #146-150, from 1957-58. As with the Melvin Monster volume, Melvin Monster: Volume One (John Stanley Library) this is a beautiful hardback designed by Seth, known for Fantagraphics Complete Peanuts editions. There are about 150 pages of full color comics, printed on quality paper, but with a slightly worn and aged look.

The only cavil is why aren't the original covers included? Most of these covers are so evocative, one could stare at them all day, as with Irving Tripp's covers for Little Lulu, which were included in the Dark Horse Little Lulu paperback reprints. The covers may not be absolutely necessary in the case of Nancy, but when you get to the third volume, Thirteen Going on Eighteen, Thirteen Going on Eighteen: The John Stanley Library the lack of these covers, composed as they are, of masterfully drawn single panel jokes, is a great loss indeed.

One reason Nancy gained such popularity in the funnies is that Ernie Bushmiller was a master of the daily three or four panel strip. His uncluttered style exactly suited his simple subject matter; one never tired of reading Nancy, and it was the first thing I'd turn to in the daily comics. To make of Nancy one more young heroine off on adventures in the world, or to involve her in long plot lines in the comic books, would be to more or less neutralize her impact. As these comics show, Stanley did something much more clever. While the story may run around five pages, the panels are made up of mini- visual slapstick frames which resolve every few panels, almost like a daily strip within a Sunday comic.

Stanley tended to have carte blanche as it were with his characters in the comics, and introduced a gentle fantasy element. Nancy's friend, Oona, in this comic, somewhat suggests Little Itch in the Little Lulu stories. He introduces great new characters, like Bill Bungle, Burglar, and Bill Bumble, who seems to nearly be the same character. Both names show Stanley's love of alliteration.

If these volumes had the covers, they would definitely rate a five. As it is, they prove a long overdue tribute to Stanley, and will be read and reread by collectors who keep their pristine copies sealed and filed away. For the rest of us, they're a great way to revisit the wonderful days of Dell. ... Read more

How could I have forgotten Little Lulu?
I was shocked to find that my son and daughter-in-law had never heard of Little Lulu -- this startling fact came to light when my husband and I adopted an unusually small MinPin and I named her Little Lulu.The next day I bought this book for my 6-year-old granddaughter.She loved it! So later I bought her another in the series, and she loved that, too.These are good-quality paperbacks; the production values are high.And the stories are charming, bringing back mothers who wore dresses and pumps every day in the house, fathers who dozed in arm-chairs after dinner and called their wives "Dear", and a just slightly old-fashioned America.I don't think our 6-year-old notices any of that.For her Little Lulu is great entertainment; for me, a swirl of nostalgia.

Still the greatest...
I recently finished plowing through the collected paperback editions of the classic 1940s/1950s "Little Lulu" comics, and wanted to put in my vote... yes! yes! yes!True, it's a little disappointing that the strips are reprinted in black-&-white and not in the original color versions, but the real genius of these works is in the draftsmanship of artists John Stanley and Irving Tripp, and once you get onto their wavelength, even these half-size B&W reprints are a pure delight.They can say so much with such economy -- a single panel of Lulu's unbridled mischief can have you laughing your head off, and here, in this multi-volume collection, you've got a real treasure trove of some of the best graphic-art humor produced in the 20th Century.Great stuff, highly recommended, and major kudos to Dark Horse for making this artwork both available and affordable.

*THE BEST ONE YET!!!!!*
I think that Little Lulu Volume 7 is the best issue in the whole collection because of the theme and the stories were side-splitting.I can't wait for another Volume of Little Lulu! ... Read more

Product Description

Philosophy and Animal Life offers a new way of thinking about animal rights, our obligation to animals, and the nature of philosophy itself. Cora Diamond begins with "The Difficulty of Reality and the Difficulty of Philosophy," in which she accuses analytical philosophy of evading, or deflecting, the responsibility of human beings toward nonhuman animals. Diamond then explores the animal question as it is bound up with the more general problem of philosophical skepticism. Focusing specifically on J. M. Coetzee'sThe Lives of Animals, she considers the failure of language to capture the vulnerability of humans and animals.

Stanley Cavell responds to Diamond's argument with his own close reading of Coetzee's work, connecting the human-animal relation to further themes of morality and philosophy. John McDowell follows with a critique of both Diamond and Cavell, and Ian Hacking explains why Cora Diamond's essay is so deeply perturbing and, paradoxically for a philosopher, he favors poetry over philosophy as a way of overcoming some of her difficulties. Cary Wolfe's introduction situates these arguments within the broader context of contemporary continental philosophy and theory, particularly Jacques Derrida's work on deconstruction and the question of the animal.Philosophy and Animal Life is a crucial collection for those interested in animal rights, ethics, and the development of philosophical inquiry. It also offers a unique exploration of the role of ethics in Coetzee's fiction.

Weak
I'm not sure that I learned anything from this book. How could I when the author hardly ever makes a point? This was used in my "Introduction to Philosophy" course. At first I read all the chapters required, but by the end of the course I realized it was wasting my time and I learned more accurate information by listening to the lectures and reading facts on Wikipedia.

Invitation to Philosophy
Book was required for my Philosophy class.It arrived fast and I actually learned a lot from it.It was well written.

can you define that for me.
This book is a pain. The author can't get to the point of what he is talking about. He gives points of view of deferent people but never gives enough so you can get what he is talking about. I find it hard to understand the subject because of the lack of clear definitions. As a student I find this book hot for the resale. The worst part is I love the class I just can't stand the book.
Just my two cents.

A Great Book for Beginning Students.
In 1968, when I got back from Vietnam and went back to college, my first Philosophy course used the first edition of this work as a supplemental text.It worked so well that I consulted it all the way through my undergraduate education.In 1978, when I got my first job teaching Philosophy, I chose to incorporate what was then the third edition in my Introductory classes.Good books tend to last and go into reprints and newer editions.I have used every subsequent edition and, at this time (2004), I am using the ninth edition of INVITATION TO PHILOSOPHY -- and I plan to stay with every newest edition of the text until I retire.It works!!!

If I wanted religion, I'd get a Bible!
What a waste of money. The very title itself is misleading, as well as horribly arrogant. This book is certainly not worth its price.

First of all, there's a heavy air of religious overtone throughout the book. The author implies that the reader must "move beyond philosophical speculation into the arena of personal commitment (through religion)". Philosophy is a creature of its own right; it does not need to be saddled by religion.

Secondly, the author claims that there are only 3 branches of philosophy: Axiology-ethics (yes, it's been lumped together), epistomology, and metaphysics. To correct the author: there are SIX branches of philosophy. That's half the branches he chopped away! What'd he do, pay attention to half his philosophy class?

This book is also heavily ethics-skewed, from page one to back cover. This is an incredibly poor introduction to philosophy; if you're going to learn the field, get a book that at LEAST talks about all SIX of the branches.

A book I reccomend is "Archetypes of Wisdom: An Introduction to Philosophy" by Soccio.

This [stuff] deserves no stars - but, it recieves one not because of the mandatory Amazon.com standard, but because it at least doesn't use 25 cent words. ... Read more

Product Description

As compared with cytology’s use in other organ systems, direct cytological examination of the endometrium is not a widely practiced diagnostic procedure. This is an anomaly, because the endometrium is exceedingly available for cytological sampling, cytological sampling is comparably simple to perform, and, from the patient’s perspective, it is a gentle procedure as compared to other methods of specimen attainment.

Over the years, as we personally gained more and more experience with specimen acquisition, processing and interpretation, we have come to look upon endometrial cytology as an effective method for ensuring endometrial normalcy and discovering and diagnosing malignant and premalignant states. In comparing endometrial cytology to endometrial biopsy, we have found that, in samples obtained by individuals experienced in specimen collection, cytology outperforms outpatient biopsy with regard to the patient’s tolerance of the procedure, adequacy of sampling among postmenopausal women, and detection of occult neoplasms.

By devising a highly effective technical strategy to ensure the simultaneous creation of cell blocks and cytological samples from a single collection (that is detailed in the technical appendix of this work), we have moved endometrial brush collection into an arena of significance equaling—indeed exceeding—other methods of specimen collection and interpretation. Cytology, even in the absence of cell blocks, performs equally as well as biopsy in detecting outspoken hyperplasia or carcinoma. If nothing else, by reliably identifying benign, normal endometrial states, it serves to exclude more than 70% of women from unnecessary follow up testing with a high degree of confidence.

Because brush sampling of the endometrium is limited to a depth of 1.5 to 2 mm, the method is not definitive for the detection of endometrial polyps, fibroids, stromal tumors, or tumors of the uterine wall musculature. However, endometrial cytology is useful for detecting benign estrogen-excess states such as disordered proliferation and various degrees of benign hyperplasia, for separating these states from frankly neoplastic states such as EIN and cancer, but not for subclassifying benign hyperplastic states in the absence of cell block preparations.

When endometrial brushing with liquid fixation is used in conjunction with other techniques such as immunohistochemistry, concomitant biopsy or, more practically, hysteroscopy or sonohysterography, endometrial benignancy can be assured with a very high level of confidence (> 99%); indeed, manufacturing concomitant cell blocks of endometrial tissue fragments and using immunohistochemistry in selected cases significantly enhances the diagnostic specificity of the technique. In a woman with a patent cervix, endometrial brushing successfully collects material, even from late postmenopausal atrophic endometrium. It allows for the detection of serious diseases such as endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma under conditions where suction biopsy might miss or otherwise obviate the diagnosis.

This work focuses on the background, collection technique, and reliability of endometrial cytology; it then overviews diagnostic criteria and diagnostic pitfalls encountered in the day-to-day practice of the art. Since endometrial cytology interpretation relies on intuiting tissue patterns from cytology preparations, a great deal of time is spent on cytohistological correlations and, where effective as part of a diagnostic strategy, on ancillary immunohistochemical staining. The discussion moves from normal states of the endometrium, through otherwise benign changes induced by an altered hormonal milieu or surface irritants, into neoplastic premalignant and malignant endometrial conditions. Finally, fixative and slide preparation techniques, that we deem as expeditious while serving to get the most information out of an endometrial cytology collection, are discussed in detail for the benefit of those who wish to recapitulate our work in their own practice.

A marriage, an expedition, a book...
A surprisingly quick read! The married authors journeyed 3,000 miles, travelling by train, riverboat and truck from Matadi on the Atlantic coast of Zaire, across Central Africa to Zanzibar at the edge of the Indian Ocean, recreating the route covered by Henry Morton Stanley (of "Dr. Livingston, I presume?" fame). Their account of Stanley's trek, and their own, is exhausting, treacherous, and even hilarious. Great color and B&W photos pus line drawings flesh out chapters like, "Tenative Steps," "Deviation and Disaster," and "Mountains of the Moon." ... Read more
