The Sexual Harassment of Women in the Workplace, 1600 to 1993
While sexual harassment of women in the workplace has been discussed for decades it is still a pervasive problem. This book looks at the history of that harassment from the 1600s (!) to the early 1990s, from long forgotten domestic servants in England of the 1600s to abused Japanese textile workers of 1900, to Anita Hill in 1991 America. Coverage is worldwide with emphasis on the United States and the period 1800 to the present. Harassment affects women from all walks of life; from unskilled to professional, those in traditionally female jobs, those in traditionally male jobs, and all the rest. Harassment occurs in factories, coal mines, construction sites, law offices, dental offices, government offices, Capitol Hill, and at every other work site. So bad was it in some factories that women took to carrying knives for self-protection. Women have put their economic existence on the line by striking over sexual harassment.

So Far
In his winning collection of essays, So Far: Reflections on the Journey, author Ben Dillow writes of the un-common pleasures that come from the mundane elements of life: family, work, travel and play. Though autobiographical in nature, the narratives weave a web of common human experiences that will evoke nods of familiarity and smiles of appreciation. From the high expectations of an anniversary cruise to a simple home improvement project run amuck, these stories offer canny perspectives on lifes journey. Essay collections abound, but few can match the pleasures of Ben Dillows wonderful album. Just interested in good stories? Hes a master story teller, and like Garrison Keillor, he has an eagles eye for warmhearted humor in things we often miss. Whatever your mood or your need, Dillow has a story, a thought, an image, a frozen moment, or a surprising insight that can brighten your day and maybe even change the way you see your own journey.

Gone Bodfishin
"Where to start? It's got a man in search of adventure, hapless good ol' boys, a get-rich-quick scheme, a movie ranch, a waterslide, a Wide West show, case of whiskey, guns, pickup trucks, a map to a gold mine, and a donkey named Andy. How do all of these things fit together? Well, you're just going to have to read it and find out." Maurice Sinnett, reviewer
