The Road Winds Uphill All the Way: Gender, Work, and Family in the United States and Japan

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `This wonderfully detailed study of the renegotiation of traditional gender roles provides a cross-cultural lesson in how educated women are moving mountains as well as climbing them.` -- Nancy Folbre, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts at Amherst In a time of societal transition, women and men around the globe struggle to combine careers and family in new ways. However, conventional work and family structures and power imbalances between women and men often reinforce traditional gender stereotypes in both home and office. In an effort to understand the roots of gender inequality, Myra Strober and Agnes Miling Kaneko Chan conducted an extensive survey of the 1981 graduates of Stanford and Tokyo Universities--parallel populations in historically very different cultures. First-hand comments from the graduates are combined with quantitative analyses for a lively examination of the career and family choices of these highly educated women and men. Contrasting the… [detailed...]

The Road of Excess : A History of Writers on Drugs

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom the antiquity of Homer to yesterday`s Naked Lunch, writers have found inspiration, and readers have lost themselves, in a world of the imagination tinged and often transformed by drugs. The age-old association of literature and drugs receives its first comprehensive treatment in this far-reaching work. `Boon`s new work reads … like a wide-eyed, joyous romp through a literary statesman`s funhouse, where each room contains a masterfully told tale of opium or morphine, peyote or LSD, coffee or cocaine. We see a gallery of our most prized literary lions, many of them stripped bare of their pristine reputations. It is a mind-teasing exercise that is well worth the trip.` —Rebecca Shannonhouse, Boston Globe `Boon has written the most useful and engaging history of psychoactive lit yet. His prose is generous, unhurried, and far too tasteful to gob up the page with theory. At the same time, he casts his net deep and… [detailed...]

The Road of Lost Innocence: The True Story of a Cambodian Heroine

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A riveting and beautiful memoir of tragedy and hope–by a woman named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world Born in a village deep in the Cambodian forest, Somaly Mam was sold into sexual slavery by her grandfather when she was twelve years old. For the next decade she was shuttled through the brothels that make up the sprawling sex trade of Southeast Asia. She suffered unspeakable acts of brutality and witnessed horrors that would haunt her for the rest of her life–until, in her early twenties, she managed to escape. Unable to forget the girls she left behind, Mam became a tenacious and brave leader in the fight against human trafficking, rescuing sex workers–some as young as five and six–offering them shelter, rehabilitation, healing, and love and leading them into new life.Written in exquisite, spare, unflinching prose, The Road of Lost Innocence is a memoir that will leave you awestruck by the courage and strength of this extraordinary woman and… [detailed...]

The Road to Berlin

2008 y.
Publisher: Cassell
Description: Beginning with the destruction of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, `The Road to Berlin` is the story of how the Red Army drove the Germans from its territory, and finally invaded the Reich. Using an enormous range of primary sources - Soviet, German and Eastern European - John Erickson describes fighting and hardship on a scale almost unimaginable in the West. He provides a detailed narrative of all the battles on all the fronts, and also of the Soviet system of war which achieved, under maximum stress, near impossible feats in the field and in the factories. The book also tells of the diplomatic moves and counter-moves, including the all-important conferences at Tehran and Yalta. Comprehensive, compelling, and immensely readable, it is an indispensable book for any student of the Second World War. [detailed...]

Donald W. McCaffrey
The Road to Comedy : The Films of Bob Hope

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAlthough Bob Hope has been the subject of many biographies, no book yet has fully explored the comic persona he created in vaudeville and radio, brought to fruition in dozens of films from the 1930s through the 1960s, and made a lasting influence on comedians from Woody Allen to Conan O`Brien. Now, in The Road to Comedy: The Films of Bob Hope, noted film comedy authority Donald W. McCaffrey finally places Hope in his well-deserved position among the highest rank of film comedians of his era. Drawing on archival materials and interviews with collaborators, McCaffrey analyzes each major film in depth, with due attention to particular sequences that reveal how Hope created a unique comic personality that lasted over dozens of very popular films, from the `Road movies` with Bing Crosby through such underrated classics as Son of Paleface, Monsieur Beaucaire, and Casanova`s Big Night. In so doing, McCaffrey introduces readers to a Bob Hope now overshadowed by his own… [detailed...]

Michael Maren
The Road to Hell: The Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International Charity

2002 y.
Publisher: Free Press
Description: Despite the overstated title, this book is a forceful and disturbing portrait of Western intervention in Somalia, plus an investigation of underscrutinized aid foundations. Perhaps because of the book`s ambition, Maren`s narrative is disjointed, but readers will find it worth the effort. `[D]oing relief and development work in the context of oppression is counterproductive,` he asserts, and his personal experience in Somalia, where, after a Peace Corps stint in Kenya, he returned as an aid worker and journalist, bears this out. While the Cold War fueled aid to Somalia, much of the aid was channeled by local power brokers to further their own ends. Indeed, while Somalia was once self-sufficient, it is now chronically dependent on imports of foreign food. Maren is equally scathing about prominent charities such as CARE and Save the Children, which he terms mercenaries more concerned with self-perpetuation than actual famine relief. CARE, he charges, once shipped food to armed fighters… [detailed...]

The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents--The Definitive Edition

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program—The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, The Road to Serfdom garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, Reader’s Digest published… [detailed...]

A complicated woman, she was able to speak bluntly to a queen: “Instead of a woman, you have become the servant and slave of nothingness, making yourself the subject of lies and of the demon who is their father”, and also encourage the wife of a simple tailor: “Clothe yourself in the royal virtues.” Her story is told in this landmark biography, first published a century ago and praised by Evelyn Underhill as the best modern biography of a saint ever written. Long out of print, this new edition has been slightly abridged and generously supplemented with the reflections of other biographers, historians, and artistsa??who shed fresh light on what we know about an amazing woman. “Sweeney achieves a fine balance between excellent scholarship and sweet accessibility for every average reader.” a??Walter Wangerin, Jr., author of… [detailed...]
