Book excerpt: In 1904, a woman was arrested on Fifth Avenue for smoking a cigarette, while a procession of bemused smoking males passed by unharassed. For the next 50 years, with the creative encouragement of the emerging giants of the cigarette industry, the right to smoke became a symbol of women's liberation and equality. That liberation came at a terrible price. As the lung cancer rate for women soared, passing breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer in women in 1985, women achieved a grisly equality. On February 4, 1987, a group of women leaders active both in public health and in a wide diversity of women's organizations-gathered together in Washington to take stock of the common effort. A series of papers-on smoking's role in women's disease and death, on women's smoking behavior, on the role of the tobacco industry-set the stage for an intensive effort by the participants, working in small groups, to hammer out together an agenda of strategies to combat smoking among women. The highlights of those papers, and a synthesis of the most favored strategies, form the body of this report. For 50 years, smoking reigned as a symbol of women's freedom. Now we know that smoking only substituted one form of enslavement for another. That's why the workshop participants chose to name their effort, the "Not Far Enough Network."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since childhood I've always felt a kinship with Dorothy and her friends. I think that's probably true for many queer people. Dorothy was torn from her colourless world and thrown into the vibrant land of Oz. She was forced to make a journey and on the way found not only herself but a chosen family. The Scarecrow, Lion and Tinman went on a journey to find something that they had inside them all along. The Land of Oz and it's inhabitants have always had a very special place in my heart and have given me great comfort through hard times. It has inspired me to write this collection of poems that I hope you will enjoy.
Download or read book Has Globalization Gone Far Enough written by Scott Bradford and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott C. Bradford and Robert Z. Lawrence use the underlying data from purchasing power parity surveys to estimate the potential benefits from fully integrating goods markets among major OECD countries. These data are particularly useful because they are comprehensive, and every effort has been made to ensure that they are comparable. Input-output tables are used to eliminate distribution margins from final goods prices and thereby provide estimates of ex-factory prices. Price differentials have been taken as measures of barriers, and the welfare effects of eliminating these barriers have been estimated in a general equilibrium model. The study also provides insights into the relative openness of individual OECD countries to the world economy and the degree to which Europe has become a single market.

Download or read book Introduction to the Social Sciences RLE Social Theory written by Maurice Duverger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Duverger at last provides the student with an overall view of the methodology of the social sciences. He briefly traces the origin of the notion of a social science, showing how it emerged from social philosophy. Its essential elements and pre-conditions are described; the splintering of social science into specialist disciplines is explained, and the need for a general sociology confirmed. The techniques of observation used by social scientists are dealt with in some detail and the unity of the social sciences is illustrated by examples of the universal application of these techniques. Documentary evidence in its various forms are described along with the basic analytical techniques, including quantitative methods and content analysis. Other methods of gathering information through polls, interviews, attitude scales and participant observation are all described. Professor Duverger brings together the different kinds of analysis used to assess the information thus gathered. Arguing that observing and theorizing are not two different stages or levels of research, he examines the practical value and difficulties of general sociological theories, partial theories and models and working hypotheses. He both describes and assesses the limitations of experiment and the scope of comparative methods in the social sciences. He then gives elementary instructions for using and assessing the value of mathematical techniques. The possibilities of presenting social phenomena through graphs and charts are also explored. There are useful book lists and diagrams.

Download or read book Theories of Mathematics Education written by Bharath Sriraman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Mathematics Education is a new and innovative book series published by Springer that builds on the success and the rich history of ZDM—The Inter- tional Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt für - daktik der Mathematik). One characteristic of ZDM since its inception in 1969 has been the publication of themed issues that aim to bring the state-of-the-art on c- tral sub-domains within mathematics education. The published issues include a rich variety of topics and contributions that continue to be of relevance today. The newly established monograph series aims to integrate, synthesize and extend papers from previously published themed issues of importance today, by orienting these issues towards the future state of the art. The main idea is to move the ?eld forward with a book series that looks to the future by building on the past by carefully choosing viable ideas that can fruitfully mutate and inspire the next generations. Taking ins- ration from Henri Poincaré (1854–1912), who said “To create consists precisely in not making useless combinations and in making those which are useful and which are only a small minority.
Download or read book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck written by Mark Manson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
