NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Now in paperback--Peggy Orenstein, author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller Girls & Sex, turns her focus to the sexual lives of young men. "Eye-opening.... Every few pages, the boy world cracks open a little bit.... Even in the most anxiety-provoking moments of Boys & Sex, it's clear that Orenstein believes in the goodness of boys and the men they can become, and she believes in us, as parents, to raise them" (New York Times Book Review).

Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girls--steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity--which equally affect how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. In Boys & Sex, Peggy Orenstein dives back into the lives of young people to once again give voice to the unspoken, revealing how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy.

Drawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, Boys & Sex dissects so-called locker room talk; how the word "hilarious" robs boys of empathy; pornography as the new sex education; boys' understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. By surfacing young men's experience in all its complexity, Orenstein is able to unravel the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of young male sexuality in today's world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better men.

Comprehensive! The Bible of Deep Learning!
This book has by far surpassed my expectations! I have purchased many machine learning and deep neural network books in the past, but nothing has ever come close to this book! First of all, it is written by the fathers of Deep Learning, and is therefore an authority. Secondly, the book is broken into three parts: 1. A math overview and refresher. 2. Deep Learning applications and 3. Research in Deep Learning. I can't help but go through this book from front to back. It is a smooth read, and every sentence written is meaningful. These guys know their stuff! And after you read this book, YOU WILL ALSO know your stuff! If you feel daunted by the price, just remember, you get what you pay for! I'd say they could easily charge about $300+ for this book, but they are doing everyone a very kind favor by ONLY charging this reasonable amount. You get A LOT of bang for your buck with this purchase. I hesitated at first about buying this book because of the price, but I am soooooo happy that I did! Worth every penny! Look no further, get this book and start your Deep Learning journey!!

A rushed, poorly written guide of how the "experts" can't really explain what Deep Learning is
Format: Hardcover
This book, in every sense of the word, is rushed. I think the authors wanted to establish themselves as leaders of this young-ish field, but does so by sacrificing quality. It also shows that Deep Learning theory has been there for a long time, known by another name called Neural Networks. The interesting algorithms are of MLP, Back Propagation and the classical neural networks. The optimization methods such as Adam are the ones that are new and interesting, and the only ones worthy of in this book. So, essentially, what you get from this book is use A for X, B for Y and C for Z type of dry, un-intuitive, badly written waste of paper. As for the structure of the book, it's like an example of how not to structure a book. It has some linear algebra, probability at the start (not good enough, and confuses more people and wastes paper). Goes on to prove other algorithms such as PCA (yeah, ok!). Then, talks about how this architecture works for this and that architecture. So, yeah, if you really want to try out deep learning, don't buy this book. Set up Tensorflow/pytorch/ other library, run the tutorials, find an architecture for the problem you are interested in and start tweaking that. You will have far more fun and would have saved your money. The praise that this book gets is beyond me. Did Musk even read this book? I doubt it.

The classic textbook on Deep Learning
Format: Hardcover
Deep Learning is the promising direction towards general purpose effective artificial intelligence. There is an explosion of fruitful research in recent years and a lot of applications pursued mainly from technology giants as Google, Amazon, etc. and outstanding research institutions. The book "Deep Learning " by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Gourville, is an excellent piece of work. They manage to present rather difficult things in an understandable manner. The theoretical presentation is outstanding typical of "classic" books. Also, the book stays close to the practical applicability of all the methods and discusses applications extensively. There are a lot of other useful books on deep learning that follow a more practical approach by focusing on a particular deep learning software package, but this one book is certainly much more essential since it provides the required theoretical background in order to be able to do serious work on deep learning. I consider the book as "must have" for anyone that works on deep learning either in an academic or in an industrial environment.

100% Recommend
Format: Paperback
Invincible Compendium One completely lived up to the hype. From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the story, the action, and the character development. What starts off feeling like a classic superhero story quickly becomes something much deeper, darker, and way more emotional than expected. The artwork is incredible and the fight scenes are intense without feeling repetitive. Every character feels important and layered, especially Mark and Omni-Man. The pacing is excellent for such a massive collection, and it’s hard to put down once you start reading. If you’re a fan of superhero comics but want something with real stakes, shocking twists, and strong storytelling, this is absolutely worth reading. Easily one of the best graphic novels I’ve picked up in a long time.

This is the best purchase I’ve made in 2025!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I don’t even know where to start ever since I finished (in early August, 2025) the whole series of this comic. I have never been this much speechless in my life. It’s my first comic that I’ve ever read and finished it. I got into invincible through the TV show and I wanted to give a shot on comics because people said it’s even better than the show, and I was blown away just by the tv show until I started reading this. It didn’t matter how tired I would be and/or how busy I would be, but I’d still make time to grab and read at least some pages very excited. There are so many parts in this comics where it reflected on my personal life and somewhat opened my eyes of what I had and need to do in my life. It was really fun, exciting, loving, caring, sad and emotional story. This comic has a definitive beginning and a final, conclusive ending. I loved it overall despite where there were some boring parts, but it all made sense later in the main story. Very well developed characters, stories and art. Now whenever I pass by my bookshelf and I see these books puts big fat huge smile on my face. I’m glad I have it in my collection. I got to experience in this comic what I couldn’t in real life. Every other night in random or toughest moment I would think about what would mark do in this situation. Thank you for this masterpiece ❤️
