Career and Family
In this book, the author builds on decades of complex research to examine the gender pay gap and the unequal distribution of labor between couples in the home. The author argues that although public and private discourse has brought these concerns to light, the actions taken - such as a single company slapped on the wrist or a few progressive leaders going on paternity leave - are the economic equivalent of tossing a band-aid to someone with cancer. These solutions, the author writes, treat the symptoms and not the disease of gender inequality in the workplace and economy. Here, the author points to data that reveals how the pay gap widens further down the line in women's careers, about 10 t...

The Art of Rest
Shortlisted for the British Psychological Society Book Award for Popular Science Much of value has been written about sleep, but rest is different; it is how we unwind, calm our minds and recharge our bodies. The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research Claudia Hammond collaborated on: ‘The Rest Test’, the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, completed by 18,000 people across 135 different countries. The survey revealed how people get rest and how it is directly linked to your sense of wellbeing. Counting down through the top ten activities which people find most restful, Hammond explains why rest matters, examines the science behind the results to establish what really works and offers a roadmap for a new, more restful and balanced life.

Der Vollzug des Schweigens
Wie wird Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche durch Fachkräfte in pädagogischen Institutionen verschwiegen? In der vorliegenden Studie geht es um ein Team der stationären Eingliederungshilfe, das systematische Gewalt unter Berufung auf ein behaviorales Gruppenkonzept jahrelang als Therapie legitimierte. Aus narrativen Interviews und dem Übergabebuch des Teams werden Entstehungskontexte und Praktiken rekonstruiert und mit einer Heuristik des Schweigens analysiert. Die Befunde zeigen Möglichkeiten zur Verschleierung von Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt in etablierten Arbeitsformen wie der Dokumentation und der Elternarbeit. Sie verdeutlichen auch, dass routinierte Schweigepraktiken Aufdeckungsmomente in Organisationen überdauern können.
Freakonomics
Assume nothing, question everything. This is the message at the heart of Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner's rule-breaking, iconoclastic book about crack dealers, cheating teachers and bizarre baby names that turned everyone's view of the world upside-down and became an international multi-million-copy-selling phenomenon. 'Prepare to be dazzled' Malcolm Gladwell 'A sensation ... you'll be stimulated, provoked and entertained. Of how many books can that be said?' Sunday Telegraph 'Has you chuckling one minute and gasping in amazement the next' Wall Street Journal 'Dazzling ... a delight' Economist 'Made me laugh out loud' Scotland on Sunday
Mitten zwischen den Menschen
Ständige Diakone im Zivilberuf gehören selbstverständlich zur pastoralen Wirklichkeit der katholischen Kirche. Der theologische Diskurs zum Ständigen Diakonat wird seit Jahren intensiv geführt, aber empirische Untersuchungen sind eher selten. Dem will das Projekt Pro Diakonia abhelfen. Zunächst wird ausführlich erläutert, auf welcher methodologischen Grundlage die Erforschung der Selbstkonzepte von Ständigen Diakonen im Zivilberuf im deutschsprachigen Raum erfolgt. Anschließend wird nach Mustern in den Selbstkonzepten der Diakone gesucht. Eine strukturelle Perspektive rundet die Analyse ab.
