In the Company of Men: Male Dominance and Sexual Harassment (The Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime, and Law)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDespite over twenty years of discussion and study, sexual harassment remains a significant problem in the workplace. Current research focusing on organizational policy and women?s career development often ignores the reality of maledominance, prevalent in areas such as the military, the police, and firefighting?occupations that see not only more frequent but also more severe harassment, even sexual assault. Meanwhile, new evidence points to the fact that men are largely responsible not only for the harassment of women but for most harassment of other men as well. This landmark collection of original essays investigates the links between male dominance and sexual harassment in light of new research and more complex understandings of masculinity. Treated not merely as a matter of worker sex ratios but as an inherent element of workplace culture, male dominance is observed from a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches ranging from criminology… [detailed...]

Joseph R. Blasi
In the Company of Owners: The Truth about Stock Options (And Why Every Employee Should Have Them)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe string of business scandals that recently engulfed America painted a picture of corporate chieftains lining their pockets by cutting corners, cooking the books, and duping gullible investors. In doing so, greedy CEOs have hijacked what could be one of the most important business innovations in decades: stock options for all employees. Joseph Blasi, Douglas Kruse, and Aaron Bernstein-all leading experts on employee ownership-show how American companies would perform much better if they followed the lead of many high-tech firms and granted options to their entire workforce, rather than to just a tiny corporate elite. Using SEC data in a way never done before, they document the vast wealth executives have accumulated for themselves. It shows how the abuse of options has taken place not just at scandal-ridden companies such as Enron and WorldCom, but across the entire reach of corporate America. In the Company of Owners argues that there`s a better way…. [detailed...]

In the Company of Stars: The Paris Opera Ballet

2007 y.
Publisher: Flammarion
Description: Gerard Uferas spent a year with the Paris Opera Ballet family, and his photographs lead readers into the private world of the Opera Garnier, Paris’s landmark opera house. He took his camera backstage, into the wings, the practice halls named after the great figures in the history of ballet, and the ornate neo-Baroque foyer where the dancers gather to warm up before each performance. His images retrace the constant work, sometimes trying, often exhilarating, that fills the days at the ballet, revealing the concentration that precedes a dancer’s entrance on to the stage, the poise and gestures, the moments of exertion and of rest. Uferas reveals the secrets of a usually cloistered world, documenting the toil, the dedication, and the months of preparation that culminate in moments of breathtaking beauty on the stage. By capturing forever the ephemeral art of the dance, the photographer has created an enduring homage to the otherwise fleeting professional lives of the dancers. The result… [detailed...]

Dan Snow
In the Company of Stone

2007 y.
Publisher: Artisan
Description: `Finding stone, choosing it, and letting go of it are the three things a waller does. I`d miss any one of them too much if I asked someone else to do them for me. I may work by myself, but I`m not alone. I`m in the company of stone.` Dan Snow is a waller, an artisan who builds walls, terraces, caverns, and the occasional sphere or pool out of dry stone. It`s an ancient skill building with only what the earth provides. No mortar, no nails, nothing to hold his creations together except gravity, an invisible glue he can sense in the stones` `conversations` of squeaks and rumbles. A hollow sound means a void needs to be filled, a solid fit is secured with the sound of a bolt being thrown. Snow`s evocative prose and Peter Mauss`s richly textured photographs of Snow`s work reveal the nuance and beauty of walling and of one man`s relationship with nature. The result is by turns poetic and practical. [detailed...]

In the Fig Tree : Surviving domestic violence in words and pictures

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOn average, someone in Pennsylvania dies every three days, as a result of domestic violence. Four women in the United States are murdered each day by an intimate male partner. In the Fig Tree is the result of a forum in which the voices of victims of domestic violence could be heard directly. They gathered, they laughed, they cried, they wrote. As you turn the pages of this book, what comes through are the voices of a group of survivors whom Pittsburgh`s Crisis Center North has had the privilege of serving. Often, they choose not to speak of their respective victimization directly, but do so in less blatant, often more creative ways, capturing the impact that violence has had on their lives. In the Fig Tree is a book which helped its creators understand and derive meaning from the violence that changed their lives forever, while giving readers a unique glimpse into their world. It is a book which honors the voice of the survivor and the… [detailed...]
