Men Explain Things to Me
Author: Rebecca Solnit
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608464571
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Book Description
Are You Single? Good! Professional dating coach and dating advice blogger, Lana Otoya knows that you don't need a man. Your life is perfectly fine just the way it is. You have good friends. You have a good job. You're successful. And most importantly... You don't want a relationship just for the sake of having one. As a modern woman, you need a relationship for more than just the ability to get a credit card. You need a strong man who knows how to take the lead. To have someone take care of you rather than you always taking care of everyone else. But finding a man isn't really a problem for you. There are a lot of men who want to date you. Lots of messages from men on Tinder or Match.com. Weird men talking to you at the bar or hitting on you at the gym. They're everywhere! The problem isn't that you have trouble finding somebody... It's.. That you're having trouble finding somebody good. Somebody who is worth your time. You want a man who is serious. A good communicator. A man who asks you out on a date, arranges the time and place and actually meets you there. And if you can't find him, who cares! You've got a good life going anyway... ...but it would be nice... So what's so hard about finding him? Well.... Swiping on the apps is frustrating and disappointing. It takes up too much time and is emotionally draining. You feel your eyes drooping after reading bad profile after bad profile. Shallow texting conversations take all the humanity and romance out of dating. You've come to expect the last-minute date cancellations and ghosting but when it happens, it still hurts. You've pretty much given up and left your love life to destiny or chance. If this sounds familiar, you'll be happy to know that - I've been in the professional dating scene for years and it has taught me something very interesting. There really is an easier way. A faster way to get out of the dating scene and into a healthy relationship with a high-quality man. The method takes a little work, it's not magic wand, but with a minimal effort, you'll find the man who checks off all your boxes. In my book you will discover: Science based facts that will make online dating easier and more fun Why staying single is the best thing to do for your romantic relationships. How to read a man's personality so you can divorce-proof your future marriage. The final answer to the question: "Am I being too picky?" What compatibility really means and how to know if you have it with your new man The reason you're overthinking and questioning everything when it comes to men The personality traits that have made you successful in life but unsuccessful at dating The one statistic that will give you the motivation you need to keep swiping The science based reason why men ghost you I am not interested in just hooking you up with some man. I never want you to settle. There IS a man out there who checks off all your boxes, but he's a needle in the haystack. And if you're looking for a needle in a haystack, it doesn't hurt to get better at looking. So, if you're satisfied with your current life but think it would be nice to add a good man to the picture, go ahead and hit the "add to cart" button. You won't be disappointed!

The Organization Man
Author: William H. Whyte
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812209265
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Regarded as one of the most important sociological and business commentaries of modern times, The Organization Man developed the first thorough description of the impact of mass organization on American society. During the height of the Eisenhower administration, corporations appeared to provide a blissful answer to postwar life with the marketing of new technologies—television, affordable cars, space travel, fast food—and lifestyles, such as carefully planned suburban communities centered around the nuclear family. William H. Whyte found this phenomenon alarming. As an editor for Fortune magazine, Whyte was well placed to observe corporate America; it became clear to him that the American belief in the perfectibility of society was shifting from one of individual initiative to one that could be achieved at the expense of the individual. With its clear analysis of contemporary working and living arrangements, The Organization Man rapidly achieved bestseller status. Since the time of the book's original publication, the American workplace has undergone massive changes. In the 1990s, the rule of large corporations seemed less relevant as small entrepreneurs made fortunes from new technologies, in the process bucking old corporate trends. In fact this "new economy" appeared to have doomed Whyte's original analysis as an artifact from a bygone day. But the recent collapse of so many startup businesses, gigantic mergers of international conglomerates, and the reality of economic globalization make The Organization Man all the more essential as background for understanding today's global market. This edition contains a new foreword by noted journalist and author Joseph Nocera. In an afterword Jenny Bell Whyte describes how The Organization Man was written.

Book Description
Led by the enthralling and controversial colonel Charles H. T. Collis, the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry was in many ways unique among the regiments serving in the Union Army. In Collis' Zouaves, Edward J. Hagerty reconstructs the Civil War experiences of this unusual group of soldiers who embraced the flamboyant uniform style made famous by the French army's Zouaves. Recruited in the summer of 1862 from Philadelphia and surrounding counties, the regiment battled Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley campaign and went on to participate in many of the major battles of the war, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Petersburg.
