Betty Holcomb
Not Guilty: The Good News for Working Mothers

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this provocative work, Betty Holcomb offers a fresh and thoughtful analysis of the real costs and benefits of women working outside the home. Puncturing popular myths, she takes a hard look at decades of research and shows that working mothers suffer stress, fatigue, and guilt, not as a natural outgrowth of juggling a job and family, but because of stereotypes, hostile workplaces, and policies that have yet to catch up with real life. With the right support, she argues, the revolution of the working mother could lead to richer and more satisfying lives for women and children -- and men -- alike. [detailed...]

Not Just Any Dress: Narratives of Memory, Body, and Identity (Counterpoints (New York, N.Y.), V. 220.)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIf dresses could talk, what stories might they tell? This compelling collection of short stories, essays, and poems features dress as the structural grounding for autobiographical accounts from women`s lives in Western society. Often personal in nature, these `dress stories` point unfailingly to matters of social and cultural import. Some of the dresses described inhabit the popular imagination: the little girl dress, the communion dress, the school uniform, the prom dress, the wedding dress, the little black dress, and the burial dress. Beyond the semiotic, tactile, and visual aspects of the dresses themselves, the narratives delve into what dresses reveal about fundamental aspects of human experience: identity, embodiment, relationship,and mortality. Bought or made, then worn, forgotten, remembered, re-constructed, and re-interpreted, each dress offers a new glimpse into how we construct meaning in our daily lives, and how dresses serve to reinforce or resist social… [detailed...]

Bruno S. Frey
Not Just for the Money: An Economic Theory of Personal Motivation

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Not Just for the Money Professor Frey challenges traditional economic theory and argues that people do not act in expectation of monetary gain alone, nor do they work solely because they are paid. Furthermore, the author claims that higher monetarycompensation as well as regulations crowd-out motivation in important circumstances. Offering higher pay may make people less committed to their work and may reduce their performance. They thus behave in exactly the opposite way the fundamental price-effect of economics predicts. The first part of the book considers the Crowding-Out Effect and the Motivational Spill-Over Effect. The second part explores a large number of applications to constitutional questions, various policy issues and the organization of firms. The final part discusses the substantial consequences for policy making and economic theory. This path breaking book is bound to create controversy and debate. It will appeal not only to economists but to a wide… [detailed...]

Not Only the Market: The Role of the Market, Government and Civic Sector in the Development of Postcommunist Societies

Description: Successful transition for any post-communist country is reliant upon the market, government and the civil sectors. Potuek`s pioneering study of the Czech Republic highlights the early transitional mistakes made during the Klaus era with respect to the role and the inter-relationship of these sectors. Not Only the Market examines the balance between sectors and makes useful comparisons with other post-communist countries. Focusing on developmental issues, the book looks at a number of public concerns including social and health care reform, privatization and the emerging patterns of corporatism. The author examines problems such as insufficient legislation, excessive lenience and the incompetence of public administration which has created an unreasonably large space for socio-pathological forces - corruption, Mafia activity and the siphoning of public funds into private hands. The causes and consequences of these forces are considered and Potuek provides a blueprint of reform… [detailed...]

Turned away by no fewer that 26 special needs schools when searching for appropriate educational facilities for their boys, Anna and Sean were down—but not out. Anna was determined to prove that for children like her sons, the challenges of growing up with autism—to demonstrate to the world that they were simply Not Stupid—did not have to end in defeat. Through sheer guts and determination, they turned their situation into a victory by establishing a center of excellence for the care and support of those with autism. The school quickly became over-subscribed—proof that educational provision in this field is inadequate, and proof also that it is still possible to transform a vision into reality through simply not giving up.
