Meyers (philosophy, U. of Connecticut, Storrs) presents a collection of essays exploring how to live a life that expresses one's own unique personality and distinctive values; nine of the 13 essays were previously published between 1987 and 2003. Coverage includes autonomous action and its bearing on gender, women's subordination, and women's resis
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.
'Setting the Moral Compass' brings together the (largely unpublished) writings of 19 women moral philosophers whose work has contributed to the 're-setting of the compass' of moral philosophy since the 1980s.
There's an easier way to win at poker than memorizing all the mathematical possibilities of every hand you draw. It's called playing smart. While most people concentrate on deciding what to do with the hand they've been dealt, playing smart means paying more attention to what the other players are doing-the choices they make and their personal reactions. Take control of every hand by using these tactics of intimidation and concealment to master the total situation at the table. Learn the subtle clues leaked by even the most poker-faced opponents, as over time they tip their hand about how they strategize hands, maximize their strengths, and hide their weaknesses. It's easy to perfect these proven bluffing techniques, and start winning more than you ever thought possible. You even get advice on how to apply your newfound bluff-and-bluster to demand a raise or face down a troublemaker.

Wise Women is a collection of autobiographical essays by important and renowned teachers at mid-life. The essays, which are deeply personal, will focus on how these women negotiate the psychological, physical, and social changes brought on by menopause and how the aging process affects their lives as professionals, feminists, writers, mentors, and instructors in the academy. The book addresses such questions as the following: What challenges are left for the feminists who came of age during the women's movement and now have achieved academic success? How do women teachers experience their aging selves in the classroom? What legacy will mid-life women leave their younger women colleagues? All of these questions, as well as many others, are covered in this insightful and groundbreaking work.

An indispensable primer on menopause that reads like advice from a close friend, co-written by a medical doctor and expert in women’s health. It’s one of the most important, least discussed events that happens for half the population. It’s a physiological and psychosocial event, a cultural construct, and a deeply personal experience all woven together in a jumbled knot. It’s menopause.

If what you need is a level-headed friend to help walk you through the litany of fears to face, questions to ask, and prac...
