Скачать книгу - The Persistence of Gender Inequality



Despite centuries of campaigning, women still earn less and have less power than men. Equality remains a goal not yet reached. In this incisive account of why this is the case, Mary Evans argues that optimistic narratives of progress and emancipation have served to obscure long-term structural inequalities between women and men, structural inequalities which are not only about gender but also about general social inequality. In widening the lenses on the persistence of gender inequality, Evans shows how in contemporary debates about social inequality gender is often ignored, implicitly side-lining critical aspects of relations between women and men. This engaging short book attempts to join up some of the dots in the ways that we think about both social and gender inequality, and offers a new perspective on a problem that still demands society’s full attention.

В монографии предложены новые теоретические и практические подходы к рассмотрению интегрального пологендерного развития человека (на примере дошкольного возрастного периода). Определено понятие «пологендерное развитие» интегральной индивидуальности. Предложены результаты исследований пологендерной структуры интегральной индивидуальности дошкольников и младших школьников в условиях учебной, воспитательной и развивающей деятельности, в зависимости от свойств субъекта, под влиянием современных психолого-педагогических технологий. Концептуально интерпретированные результаты осуществленных методологических, теоретических и экспериментальных исследований позволили обосновать необходимость создания нового междисциплинарного научного направления в системе психологического знания интегративную психологию пологендерного развития индивидуальности человека. Формулируемая нами теория позволяет описывать и объяснять структуру, динамику и механизмы функционирования пологендерных структур интегральной индивидуальности человека, создает условия для построения конкретных принципов, этапов, методов и путей развития интегральной индивидуальности мужчин и женщин.

A modern-day Detroit success story that fuels the entrepreneurial fire Irrational Persistence tells the story of Garden Fresh Gourmet, and how two entrepreneurs turned a million-dollar debt to a 100-million-dollar annual revenue. Woody Allen famously said that 80 percent of success is just showing up; but any entrepreneur can tell you that it's the other 20 percent that's key. The founders of Garden Fresh took that old saying to heart, building so many strategic advantages into their products and business that their 'sales' team didn't have to do any selling—they simply had to show up. In this book, you'll find out what kind of legwork goes into building a mega-success product, and the strategies, methods, and just plain stubbornness that helped two guys from Detroit build a market leader. Garden Fresh Gourmet is now the number-one fresh salsa in the US, shipping over a million units every week to Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and other national chains—and it all began with two middle-aged guys with negative funds and plenty of ideas. This book shares their journey, insight, and passion to help you build a better business and take it to the top. Learn how two entrepreneurs went from major debt to major revenue Discover the key characteristics of a product that sells itself Consider why selling out might not be the ultimate goal Track a journey of 'irrational persistence' from rags to riches Garden Fresh Gourmet is an inspiration beyond the journey—the way you run things at the top matters, too. Irrational Persistence shows you how to make the tough decisions, live with the sacrifices, and prioritize your values as you build your brand and just keep on going.
