Pengantar Ilmu Sastra
Buku teori sastra dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah buku yang termasuk langka di tanah air. Akibatnya, banyak di antara mahasiswa kita yang tidak menguasai teori sastra dengan baik, juga tidak mampu mengikuti perkembangan teori sastra yang mutakhir. Buku Pengantar Ilmu Sastra ini dapatlah dianggap sebagai salah satu upaya guna mengisi kelangkaan itu. Dalam buku ini, penulis berusaha menyajikan sebuah pengantar ilmu sastra dan persoalan-persoalan yang berkaitan dan yang ada di dalamnya. Seperti dikatakan para penulis dalam prakata, buku ini terutama “dimaksudkan sebagai sarana pembantu bagi kuliah-kuliah yang mengantar mahasiswa baru ke ilmu sastra umum”, namun menurut H.B. Jassin, ia pun “sangat bermanfaat bukan saja bagi sastrawan dan ahli kesusastraan, tapi juga seorang awam dan peminat yang mempunyai profesi lain”. Pada buku ini, penulis memberikan bekal tentang pengantar ilmu sastra sebagai bagian dari kajian ilmu sastra yang diawali dengan ilmu sastra, teori sastra, sejarah sastra, kritik sastra, sastra perbandingan, sosiologi sastra, psikologi sastra, dan antropologi sastra.
Sex Differences in Social Behavior
In presenting an innovative theory of sex differences in the social context, this volume applies social-role theory and meta-analytic techniques to research in aggression, social influence, helping, nonverbal, and group behavior. Eagly's findings show that gender stereotypic behavior results from different male and female role expectations, and that the disparity between these gender stereotypes and actual sex differences is not as great as is often believed.
Scepticism and Animal Faith
In this work, Santayana analyzes the nature of the knowing process and demonstrates by means of clear, powerful arguments how we know and what validates our knowledge. The central concept of his philosophy is found in a careful discrimination between the awareness of objects independent of our perception and the awareness of essences attributed to objects by our mind, or between what Santayana calls the realm of existents and the realm of subsistents. Since we can never be certain that these attributes actually inhere in a substratum of existents, skepticism is established as a form of belief, but animal faith is shown to be a necessary quality of the human mind. Without this faith there cou...
Opting Out?
Noting a phenomenon that might seem to recall a previous era, The New York Times Magazine recently portrayed women who leave their careers in order to become full-time mothers as "opting out." But, are high-achieving professional women really choosing to abandon their careers in order to return home? This provocative study is the first to tackle this issue from the perspective of the women themselves. Based on a series of candid, in-depth interviews with women who returned home after working as doctors, lawyers, bankers, scientists, and other professions, Pamela Stone explores the role that their husbands, children, and coworkers play in their decision; how women’s efforts to construct new lives and new identities unfold once they are home; and where their aspirations and plans for the future lie. What we learn—contrary to many media perceptions—is that these high-flying women are not opting out but are instead being pushed out of the workplace. Drawing on their experiences, Stone outlines concrete ideas for redesigning workplaces to make it easier for women—and men—to attain their goal of living rewarding lives that combine both families and careers.
Do Men Mother
The second edition of Andrea Doucet's Do Men Mother? builds upon the award winning first edition to further illuminate fathers' candid reflections on caring and the intricate social worlds that men and women inhabit as they 'love and let go' of their children. Including interviews with over one hundred fathers - from truck drivers to insurance salesmen, physicians to artists - Doucet illustrates how men are breaking the mould of traditional parenting models. This edition expands her argument wider and deeper, building on changes to the theoretical work that informs the field, her own intellectual trajectory, and the fieldwork of revisiting six fathers and their partners a decade after her initial interviews. She continues to examine key questions such as: What leads fathers to trade earning for caring? How do fathers navigate through the 'maternal worlds' of mothers and infants? Are men mothering or are they redefining fatherhood? In asking and unravelling the question 'Do men mother?' this study tells a compelling story about Canadian parents radically re-envisioning child care and domestic responsibilities in the twenty-first century.

The Making of Citizens
Based on research conducted in Britain and the US, The Making of Citizens traces the dynamic complexities of young people's interpretations of news, and their judgements about the ways in which key social and political issues are represented. Rather than bemoaning young people's ignorance, he argues that we need to rethink what counts as political understanding in contemporary societies, suggesting that we need forms of factual reporting that will engage more effectively with young people's changing perceptions of themselves as citizens. The Making of Citizens provides a significant contribution to the study of media audiences and a timely intervention in contemporary debates about citizenship and political education.
