Abortion
This book couldn't be more welcome, more timely. It takes an overlooked position, that abortion is not the lesser of two evils but a positive turning point in many women's lives. In addition to absorbing countless studies, Lunneborg talked with more than 100 women who have had abortions as well as with health care workers and counselors. She found that most women do not regret their decision. Many found it to be a key reassessment point in their lives: they looked at the directions their lives were heading, their relationships, their attitudes toward their bodies, their methods of birth control, and they made significant changes. Although definitely prochoice, Lunneborg's effort balances ant...
Women Changing Work
This is a study of women's behavior in the workplace. Based on more than 200 interviews. Documents the unique ways that feminists have predicted and percieved that women would perform "men's jobs." It presents three viewpoints: those of the literature ; the views of the women interviewed ; and the views of the author.
The Chosen Lives of Childfree Men
The interviewees explain the reasons for their choice and explore its impact on their freedom, relationships, job opportunities, and finances. They also discuss their mixed feelings, their family background, and their concern over the world's ever-growing population. The picture that emerges challenges the stereotype of men who decide against parenthood as immature, selfish, and irresponsible.
Women Police
What can be done to stop the declining numbers of women in law enforcement? If information is power, then Women Police: Portraits of Success could well reverse that trend. Author Patricia Lunneborg traveled from Anchorage to Brooklyn and points in between to conduct in-depth interviews with over 50 women officers, from small-town sergeant to the head of the Alaska State Patrol. What drew them to the job in the first place? What keeps them on the job? What are their daily challenges and satisfactions? How do they balance work and family? What are their ideas for improving all aspects of the system--recruiting, training, retention, and promotion? Portraits is a powerful recruitment tool, an es...

OU Men
'This book, ' Patricia Lunneborg writes, 'documents a brilliant way out, for fifteen individuals, of this Age of Uncertainty for men.' This way out is the Open University. OU Men studies and documents the way that this remarkable institution has affected, indeed empowered, the lives of fifteen working men who hail from Manchester, Preston, and the East End, but also from Iran, India, Uganda, Ghana and Jamaica. Lawry Rhodes studied Law at Nottingham University, but failed his second year examinations. He became a building society manager, but found that his employers were more and more concerned with statistics and personal profit than with his interests or those of his customers. He began to...
OU Women
OU Women is the first book to look at the liberating effect that studying with the OU can have on its graduates. It charts the inspiring stories of fourteen women who empowered themselves and radically changed the course of their lives. The women whose stories make up this book were in their twenties, thirties and forties when they decided to take charge of their lives and write a new future for themselves. They had one thing in common: they felt bored and frustrated, stagnating in jobs that didn't fulfill them, or trapped at home, limited by a lack of education. They beat the odds, finding the courage to take that first foundation course at the Open University. Misha was a receptionist -- she is now a management consultant. Shirleen was a housewife -- she is now working as an actuary. Teresa has swapped a career as a piano teacher for that of a cytogeneticist. The OU gave these women a second chance, irrespective of their previous education, locale or class.
Handbook on Student Development
Because this book's main objective is to foster and promote student development, it should appeal to those who advise, counsel, and teach undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those in psychology, education, and other social sciences. Along with a plethora of stimulating ideas for practice and research, the book contains the results of research having immediate applications to students' educational and career direction needs. Readers will find more than 90 articles in this book distributed across three significant challenges to students' development: the academic, occupational, and personal. Further, the material presented has been organized around three distinct approaches to these challenges: advising, career development, and field placement activities. The source for these articles is the official journal, Teaching of Psychology, of Division Two of the American Psychological Association.
