Book Description
In The Price We Pay, Margaret Randall interviews women from a wide range of economic, racial, and cultural backgrounds to reveal the role money plays in their lives. These women speak of their changing expectations and attitudes regarding money. Daughters of immigrants remember what money meant in the transition between worlds. They disclose the feelings that they have of stigma or shame at not having enough, guilt at having too much, and the lies, secrets and silences caused by these feelings. These personal stories are woven into a history of women's economics and chapters on family, work, the media, power and control, and lesbian economics.

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Albert Stark takes us on a journey through his first fifteen years as a lawyer. Sixteen chapters, written with the pace and interest of a novel, teach lessons in time management, fee negotiation, finding information, and using it advantageously. From his first assignment as a public defender to a maze of legal challenges and the clients and adversaries that go with them, Stark poignantly describes the pitfalls and disillusionments, as well as the triumphs, that lay in the path of a lawyer seeking independence by making a name for himself, becoming financially independent, and intellectually independent. Insightful, humorous and human, just like Albert Stark himself. Should be must reading for every young lawyer - and anyone who relishes a fascinating and superbly written book. Bob Denney, President, Robert Denney Associates, Inc. An extraordinarily well-written account of the life of a lawyer. Absorbing! David Maister, author and consultant

Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
How can the American social welfare system be repaired so that workers and families receive adequate protection and, if necessary, provision from the ravages of the market? This book addresses this fundamental problem and analyses how the 'privatization of risk' has increased hardships for American families and increased inequality. It also proposes a series of solutions that would distribute the burdens of risks more broadly and expand the social safety net.
The Reception of Northrop Frye
Author: Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487537751
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 735
Book Description
The widespread opinion is that Northrop Frye’s influence reached its zenith in the 1960s and 1970s, after which point he became obsolete, his work buried in obscurity. This almost universal opinion is summed up in Terry Eagleton’s 1983 rhetorical question, "Who now reads Frye?" In The Reception of Northrop Frye, Robert D. Denham catalogues what has been written about Frye – books, articles, translations, dissertations and theses, and reviews – in order to demonstrate that the attention Frye’s work has received from the beginning has progressed at a geomantic rate. Denham also explores what we can discover once we have a fairly complete record of Frye’s reception in front of us – such as Hayden White’s theory of emplotments applied to historical writing and Byron Almén’s theory of musical narrative. The sheer quantity of what has been written about Frye reveals that the only valid response to Eagleton’s rhetorical question is "a very large and growing number," the growth being not incremental but exponential.
