In the past few decades the number of women entering graduate and professional schools has been going up and up, while the number of women reaching the top rung of the corporate and academic worlds has remained relatively stagnant. Why are so many women falling off the fast track?
In this timely book, Mary Ann Mason traces the career paths of the first generation of ambitious women who started careers in academia, law, medicine, business, and the media in large numbers in the 1970s and ’80s. Many women who had started families but continued working had ended up veering off the path to upper management at a point she calls “the second glass ceiling.” Rather than sticking to their original career goals, they allowed themselves to slide into a second tier of management that offers fewer hours, less pay, lower prestige, and limited upward mobility. Men who did likewise–entered the career world with high aspirations and then started families while working–not only did not show the same trend, they reached even higher levels of professional success than men who had no families at all.
Along with her daughter, an aspiring journalist, Mason has written a guide for young women who are facing the tough decision of when–and if–to start a family. It is also a guide for older women seeking a second chance to break through to the next level, as Mason herself did in academia. The book features anecdotes and strategies from the dozens of women they interviewed. Advice ranges from the personal (know when to say “no,” the importance of time management) to the institutional, with suggestions for how the workplace itself can be changed to make it easier for ambitious working mothers to reach the top levels. The result is a roadmap of new choices for women facing the sobering question of how to balance a successful career with family.

Nobody likes to think about the possibility of being attacked or robbed, or our children or elderly parents being at risk, but it is a danger that many of us face as we go about our daily lives. From “how to spot an attacker” to “helping others,” Safe At All Times tells us how to respond in a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation. It explains what to do in personal attack scenarios that are particularly worrying to most people, including mugging, car jacking, road rage, stalking, and rape. The book covers situations from everyday scenarios such as travelling to work, to safety on ships and airplanes when on vacation. It includes guidelines on how to defend yourself, whatever your size or strength; checklists that detail the best ways to protect your home, car, and property; information on the law and what you can and can’t do to protect yourself; and highlights what an attacker looks for, and what you can do about it.

Product Description
Through two years of anthropological fieldwork in the suburbs of Bergen, Norway’s second largest city, the author has listened carefully to the conversations of young working class women. In this intimate study, she examines how the lives of these women are shaped, what dignity and self-respect means to them, and how they define their identities as women. She discusses such topics as the rising rate of divorce, women’s culture, and how these women play a crucial role in creating and maintaining a cultural life style for their families.

This book suggests that beneath the everyday scuffles over gender roles and child care lies a religious crisis of work and love. As a professor, the author asks of Christian teaching, “How can it respond better to women and men who want to work in fulfilling ways and to love in intimate relationships?” As a mother, she insists that such teaching must at last take seriously what mothers think, feel and desire.

Saving the landscape, rebuilding entrepreneurial rural families, and protecting nutritious food are the themes of this timeless treatise-hence the word “testament.” Delving into the soul of the Salatin family’s nationally acclaimed Polyface Farm, author Joel Salatin offers Family Friendly Farming as the key to dealing with resource issues, food policy, and social fabric.
With humor and personal stories, he opens his family and farm convictions for all to see, share, and enjoy. Written from his unabashed “Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist” perspective, his ideas are guaranteed to encourage and challenge virtually every “ism” in the culture. It will captivate anyone passionate about healing the land, healing families, and healing the food supply.
For several decades young people have been leaving the family farm. The ones left behind are now responsible for society’s greatest resources: clean land and clean food. Anyone dedicated to preserving these resources will find in these pages a nongovernmental, self-empowerment approach to environmentalism and food safety.
The heart of this book is aimed toward parents tired of their Dilbert cubicle at the end of the expressway who want to reconnect with their children through a pastoral lifestyle. It’s written for anyone who yearns to grow old working with and being adored by value-sharing grandchildren and honored by passionate, productive adult children. Family Friendly Farming can make any family business more viable and any family more functional.
The ten-chapter section on how to get the kids to love the farm is an invaluable addition to any collection of child-rearing manuals. Salatin moves from the family team-building section into a practical discussion on how to increase income per acre and create new, white-collar salaries without buying more land, equipment, or buildings. He deals with the unique and thorny issues surrounding any family business by using his own multi-generational family farm experience as his base for insight and wisdom.
