Lifting the Veil
What do we miss seeing of reality when we don't include the feminine perspective? The feminine principle with all its unique qualities is restoring the lost soul to disciplines once limited by principles of logic, analysis, and reductionism. The experiences of contemporary scientists show how the unveiling of the feminine is enlivening modern science, infusing it with a new spirit of cooperation and compassion, and changing long-held ideas about progress and about what makes "good science". "Her book has led me to think anew about science and about women in science."-Anna J. Harrison, past president of AAAS
Meanings of Work
Meanings of Work examines interconnected cultural, social, and economic dimensions of human work. It provides an innovating interdisciplinary basis for understanding the fast changing patterns of work in a now globally unitary market, increasingly beset with problems such as contingent employment and decline of the middle class. In concentrating on sociocultural considerations of work, the book includes essays from Herbert Applebaum, Marietta L. Baba, Ivar Berg, Judith R. Blau, Amitai Etzioni, Frederick C. Gamst, Walter Goldschmidt, June Nash, and Robert Weiss. The authors discuss the scope, utility, applications, and limitations of historical and contemporary theories, analyses, and ideas about the integration of societies through work organizations and their occupational and other social statuses. Also included are the issues of discontent and satisfaction generated by work; the cultural meanings and myths of work; the exercise of power in work; the decision-making process as affected by emotions and values; the social expectations of work and nonwork, including the distinguishing of work from leisure; and the reactions to and processes of retirement from work.
Emotional Choices

Sexuality, Oppression and Human Rights
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. The gradual demystification of sexuality leads to its slow departure from long date traditional honour codes. This evolution in thought and in attitude allows one to observe new—and not so new—mentalities and behaviours. Sexuality is indeed a social construct that can encompass physical and/or symbolic domination and viciousness. It concerns women and children, as well as men. It involves every culture, every country, and every population. This anthology presents interdisciplinary studies with a human rights based approach from researchers and social workers around the world. The essays discuss sexual violence and its social ramifications and violence against various sexualities. It aims at elucidating not only contemporary, historical, and social facts related to sexual exploitation and sexual violence, but also discourses that perpetuate sexual oppression. Moreover, it offers the reader insights into prevention methods and last, but not least, it presents individual and collective creative tools to combat sexual domination.
