Engendering The Social
This edited volume focuses on the problematic engendering of classical and contemporary sociological theory, addressing questions such as: How were the foundations of sociological theory shaped by an implicit masculinity? Did classical sociology simply reflect or actively construct theories of sexual difference? How were alternative accounts of the social suppressed in sociology's founding moments? Feminist interventions in sociology are still seen as marginal to sociological theorizing. This collection challenges this truncated vision of sociological theory. In part one, contributors interrogate the classical canon, exposing the masculinist assumptions that saturate the conceptual scaffoldi...
Socio-gerontechnology
Social change in the twenty-first century is shaped by both demographic changes associated with ageing societies and significant technological change and development.

Comprised of 15 original chapters, three commentaries and an afterword, the book explores how ageing and technology are already interconnected and constantly being intertwined in Western societies. Topics addressed cover a broad ...
One Way Ticket to L.A.
One-Way Ticket to L.A. is the story of how Barbara Wells got out of Ohio, worked as a nurse in Los Angeles, met and married a fast-talking comedy writer from the Bronx, and with him built one of the most respected marriages in Hollywood. While most show business marriages run their course faster than a television season, Barbara and Garry's lasted 53 years. With mutual support and encouragement, she stayed at home to raise their three children before returning to nursing, while he produced some of the most successful television shows of all time, including Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, and directed 18 movies, among them the iconic Pretty Woman and The Princess Diaries. Together, Barbara and Garry traveled the globe, worked with some of the brightest stars in Hollywood, and met three U.S. presidents. One-Way Ticket to L.A. is a tale of two successful lives, well lived and well played, whose marriage was a shining example of loyalty, hard work, dedication, and, most of all, love.

The Supreme Court, Race, and Civil Rights
Discover the first law textbook to provide a comprehensive examination of the Supreme Court's institutional commitment to equality over a time span of more than 190 years. Filling the void of literature in this area, this long-awaited volume incorporates information from the disciplines of law, political science, and history to provide the student with a thorough analysis of race and law from the perspective of politically disadvantaged groups. Carefully selected cases stimulate classroom discussion and at the same time cultivate competence in reading actual Supreme Court rulings. Accessible and flexible, this textbook affords professors and instructors an opportunity to pick and choose from the essays and cases for each historical period. The authors instill in students a deeper appreciation of the multicultural component of ongoing struggles for equality within the American context. Written specifically for undergraduate, graduate, and law school courses that emphasize civil rights/race and the law, The Supreme Court, Race, and Civil Rights stands alone as an outstanding textbook.
