There are the first-year milestones that everyone talks about--baby's first smile, first steps, and first words--and then there are all the firsts that everyone conveniently forgets to mention The first time you find yourself hanging around the baby store parking lot, waiting for the doors to open so you can make an emergency breast pump purchase. The first time you discover that girls, too, can shoot pee across the changing table when you're least expecting it. And the first time you discover baby poop smeared on your tie moments before you need to leave for work (and it was your wife, not you, who changed the poopy diaper). It's not surprising that firsts like this leave you feeling like you're on your own as a new father, and that perhaps you should've skimmed one or two of your partner's what-to-expect books that appeared everywhere around the house over the course of her pregnancy.

With Nipple Confusion, Uncoordinated Pooping and Spittle: The Life of a Newborn's Father, Roger Friedman wonderfully captures all of his daughter's firsts in an often humorous, sometimes poignant, and occasionally grown-up manner. It's an enjoyable, honest account of the confusing, terrifying, and downright messy world of parenthood. Not only does it give you an idea of what might be in store, it lets you know you've got plenty of company when it comes to all of those firsts you never imagined.

"What kind of town is this when a man can't even get a decent shave in peace?" from John Ford's "My Darling Clementine"

• In the film industry for over 50 years and as director of nearly 150 films, John Ford is a monumental figure in Hollywood
• Looks at issues and themes Ford explored in his movies, including gender, race, treatment of ethnic minorities and the relationship of myth and reality.
• Examines Ford's experimentation with new camera technique, atmospheric lighting and diverse narrative devices.

John Ford is one of the greatest and most influential of Hollywood's film-makers. He worked in the industry for over half a century, directing nearly 150 movies. The time span and output alone make him a monumental figure. And, more than just Westerns, Ford's influential lists of films includes The Informer (1935), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952). But he was also crucial in developing, and extending Hollywood's traditions. Stylistically Ford was instrumental in experimenting with new camera techniques, atmospheric lighting and diverse narrative devices. Thematically, long before it became conventional wisdom, Ford was exploring issues that concern us so deeply today, such as gender, race, the treatment of ethnic minorities and social outcasts, the nature of history and the relationship of myth and reality. For all these reasons, John Ford the man, and his films, provide interesting and fascinating reading. Ford's pictures express the world in which they were made, and have contributed to making what Hollywood is today. Popular film would be different had John Ford not been a director. This book illustrates the excitement, importance, influence, creativity, deviousness and complexity of the man and his films.
