May be out of print. Shows you how long something "Modern" lasts doesn't it? You girls will like it too!
An excerpt from Chapter 8-Modern Matrimony: "Modern marriage is coated in oil; you slop and slide right through it, wash up and pretend it never happened.
For Modern Men, however, marriage offers no easy escapes, since it's part of an institutional component kit that also includes a bonus family module.
And if it does come apart ... there's always modern divorce. But you come out of that covered with slime, and that doesn't wash off."

Most of the content devoted to technology is now quaintly obsolete, but there is still a great deal of valuable information on things like how to sharpen an axe or sew on a button, fix a toilet or render first aid, mix a drink or deliver a baby.
