Download or read book Bending Bodies written by Thomas Johansson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. The contributing authors have sought to integrate a gender perspective into their respective fields without isolating it from other theoretical accounts. The chapters attempt to employ insights from feminist work and gender studies in general, yet insist on criticizing monolithic accounts of masculinity and elaborating on more differentiated, historically and socially embedded accounts of men's lives and their construction of masculinities. The volume is the result of interdisciplinary workshops focusing on questions of male sexuality, the male body and masculine representations - primarily investigating the relationship between change and continuity within western patriarchal society and the theoretical (rather than political) implications of the new reserach in men and masculinities. This volume differs from the first in that it deals with the construction of masculine identities on an individual level - the individual man's relationship with his own body and sexuality.

Download or read book Bent out of Shape written by Karen Messing and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning ergonomist Karen Messing is talking with women—women who wire circuit boards, sew clothes, clean toilets, drive forklifts, care for children, serve food, run labs. What she finds is a workforce in harm’s way, choked into silence, whose physical and mental health invariably comes in second place: underestimated, underrepresented, understudied, underpaid. Should workplaces treat all bodies the same? With confidence, empathy, and humour, Messing navigates the minefield that is naming sex and biology on the job, refusing to play into stereotypes or play down the lived experiences of women. Her findings leap beyond thermostat settings and adjustable chairs and into candid, deeply reported storytelling that follows in the muckraking tradition of social critic Barbara Ehrenreich. Messing’s questions are vexing and her demands are bold: we need to dare to direct attention to women’s bodies, champion solidarity, stamp out shame, and transform the workplace—a task that turns out to be as scientific as it is political.

Download or read book Bending Science written by Thomas O. McGarity and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know about the possible poisons that industrial technologies leave in our air and water? How reliable is the science that federal regulators and legislators use to protect the public from dangerous products? As this disturbing book shows, ideological or economic attacks on research are part of an extensive pattern of abuse. Thomas O. McGarity and Wendy E. Wagner reveal the range of sophisticated legal and financial tactics political and corporate advocates use to discredit or suppress research on potential human health hazards. Scientists can find their research blocked, or find themselves threatened with financial ruin. Corporations, plaintiff attorneys, think tanks, even government agencies have been caught suppressing or distorting research on the safety of chemical products. With alarming stories drawn from the public record, McGarity and Wagner describe how advocates attempt to bend science or “spin” findings. They reveal an immense range of tools available to shrewd partisans determined to manipulate research. Bending Science exposes an astonishing pattern of corruption and makes a compelling case for reforms to safeguard both the integrity of science and the public health.

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of a 90 Degree Cascade Diffusing Bend with an Area Ratio of 1 45 1 and with Several Inlet Boundary Layers written by Daniel Friedman and published by . This book was released on 1952 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was conducted in order to determine the performance of a 90 degree cascade diffusing bend with an area ratio of 1.45:1 and a 19-inch square inlet with several inlet-boundary-layer shapes and thicknesses. The maximum mean inlet Mach number was 0.41 and the corresponding airfoil Reynolds number was 950,000. The experimental results seem to indicate that, when the duct configuration requires a bend, a certain amount of diffusion can be obtained without an appreciable rise in the total-pressure losses. If length is important, this configuration requires much less space than the usual diffuser-bend combination.
