One for the Girls!: The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women's Porn - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We usually think of women as the victims of pornography rather than its consumers. Whether appearing in films, peering provocatively from the pages of magazines, or posing on explicit Web-sites, women are considered the dehumanized objects of unseen lascivious male viewers. But in her controversial new book One for the Girls!, Clarissa Smith debunks this myth and challenges women to read, watch, and enjoy pornography on their own terms. Focusing on the British magazine For Women, Smith looks at its readers’ responses to male pinups and erotica and explores the intricacies of women’s unique reactions to pornography.  “Clarissa Smith has achieved something special with her new proffering from her masculinities repertoire. Smith’s text is groundbreaking, multidisciplinary and—equally importantly—extremely readable. It is the last point perhaps that really sets this work apart, as One for the Girls has a great deal to offer both the specialist academic and the general reader. Clarissa Smith’s accessible style allows readers with little prior knowledge of critical theory, cultural studies or the 1980s pornography debate, to not only understand these discourses, but to develop a strong grasp of their impact in this context.”—Michelle Parsons, Transition Tradition
Make Your Money Work for You: How to Grow Your Investment Dollars - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We belong to the sandwich generation. Our children depend on us, as doour parents. For our children, we are seeing the price of a higher educationrising faster than the rate of inflation. For our parents, we are possiblylooking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs for treating majorillnesses they run the risk of contracting. The sandwich generation is beingchewed on at both ends.We are struggling to support ageing parents and pay university tuitionfees for our children. And this is probably the worst situation you can findyourself in — when you have to depend on others to support you in yourretirement years.In the future, you will either have enough money or you will not. If youdon’t, chances are that your neighbour living next door to you will. Peopleliving in Singapore and in Asia overall are getting wealthier and wealthier.In the year 2009, Singapore saw the highest growth in millionairehouseholds, up 35 per cent, followed by 33 per cent for Malaysia, 32 per centfor Slovakia, and 31 per cent for China (2010 Global Wealth Report by TheBoston Consulting Group). Singapore now has the highest concentration ofmillionaire households in the world. And Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan, isexpected to generate millionaires at nearly twice the global rate.It is horrible to retire when you don’t have enough money, and even worseif everyone around you has enough and you can’t even get by. That is whylearning how to invest is so important. For many people, it could make thedifference between a blissful retirement and a painful one.The investment environment has become very diverse in the last fewyears. We are seeing a rise in derivatives and currency trading by the public,commodity prices far outpacing stocks and bonds, hundreds of structuredproducts being made available at any one time and challenging marketconditions with inflation, lower real returns and a subprime crisis that istaking years to clean up. This is why for this third edition, we have added twoIntroductionnew chapters, revamped one chapter and expanded on previous chapters inthe hope of better describing what is out there.To succeed at investing, you need to keep two things in mind. First, youneed to keep abreast of what is happening in the investment markets. Onceyou are armed with the basic knowledge of investing (which we hope youwill gain from this book), knowing what is happening in the markets willbecome not only less strenuous but also an enjoyable pastime. Second,if you have never invested before, you need to take the plunge yourself.There is nothing like direct experience. Only when you handle your ownmoney will you be able to appreciate and understand fully the complexitiessurrounding the money markets. Finally, and most importantly, investingis your responsibility, not anyone else’s. It is neither the government’sresponsibility, nor that of your remisier or financial adviser’s.And when you do succeed, you will probably want to spare a thought forthe less fortunate. Social enterprise and socially responsible investing aretaking root in Singapore and around the world and not a moment too soonas income gaps around Asia have become particularly worrying. Singapore’sAmbassador, Tommy Koh, described “social inequity” as one of Asia’s threebiggest challenges, along with corruption and the environment.Despite headline hogging news about Asia’s booming economies, vastpockets of paralysing poverty remain. Dr. Ifzal Ali, Chief Economist of theAsian Development Bank, estimates that 42 per cent of Chinese live on theequivalent of less than $3 a day. In India, three-quarters of the population(more than 800 million people) survive each day on less than the cost of aStarbucks latte. All told, 60 per cent of all Asians still live in poverty.In the future, you will either have enough money or you will not. Thereare many exciting things you can do today to make sure that you will haveenough — and better still — be able then to spare time and money tohelp othe

If You Tame Me: Understanding Our Connection With Animals (Animals, Culture, and Society) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Nearly everyone who cares about them believes that dogs and cats have a sense of self that renders them unique. Traditional science and philosophy declare such notions about our pets to be irrational and anthropomorphic. Animals, they say, have only the crudest form of thought and no sense of self at all. Leslie Irvine's "If You Tame Me" challenges these entrenched views by demonstrating that our experience of animals and their behavior tells a different story. Dogs and cats have been significant elements in human history and valued members of our households for centuries. Why do we regard these companions as having distinct personalities and as being irreplaceable? Leslie Irvine looks closely at how people form 'connections' with dogs and cats available in adoption shelters and reflects on her own relationships with animals. "If You Tame Me" makes a persuasive case for the existence of a sense of self in companion animals and calls upon us to reconsider our rights and obligations regarding the non-human creatures in our lives. Leslie Irvine is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the author of "Codependent Forevermore: The Invention of Self in a Twelve Step Group". Marc Bekoff is Professor of Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder; his most recent books are: "Minding Animals: Awareness, Emotions, and Heart" and (co-authored with Jane Goodall) "The Ten Trusts: What We Must Do to Care for the Animals We Love".

$700 Billion Bailout: The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and What It Means to You, Your Money, Your Mortgage and Your Taxes - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The book is an analysis of the controversial Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and explains in easy to understand language what the bailout bill means for individuals. $700 Billion Bailout answers questions such as:What does the bill say, exactly?Who is making decisions about how the $700 billion will be spent, and what does it mean now that the government is investing directly in our banks?Who’s footing the bill?What is the impact on homeowners, businesses, retirement, and taxes?Where do I put my money in the meantime?Veteran reporter Paul Muolo shows both the challenges and opportunities of the credit crisis and proposed bailout, including its impact on:Mortgages: While rates may be lower, there will be more fees imposed on mortgages. Lenders will be far more cautious in lending, and people who cannot meet their mortgages are likely to lose these homes. This may create a “contrarian” plays in foreclosures and vacation homes..Stocks and Other Investments: Is now the time to get into the stock market or is it safer to stick with CDs, bonds, and gold?Taxes: With the tax breaks, there will be less tax revenue leading to a huge shortfall to the government over the next few years.He will offer insight into these areas and many others, including how the structure of the bailout bill allows for unprecedented authority that has altered the financial landscape, perhaps permanently. Will the plan work, and how we can prevent this from happening again remains to be seen, but with $700 Billion Bailout Paul Muolo gives us a critical tool for deciphering perhaps the most sweeping piece of legislation since the Patriot Act.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
