ISBN: 9781536984767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Set in in Arizona Territory in 1885, Sandstone is a love story and a tale of survival. Seth March, a tough, saddle-weary drifter who reads the Greek classics, is standing beside his campfire watching the morning fog lift over Sandstone Creek when a beautiful young woman races up in a buckboard pulled by lathered horses and tosses a bag of money at his feet. Elizabeth Castle, a school teacher turned saloon singer, has robbed the Tucson Cattlemen's Bank. At gun point, she takes Seth's horse, asks him to hide the money, and then races off with a posse in pursuit. Soon Elizabeth seductively mixes...

Justice and Gender: Sex Discrimination and the Law
ISBN: 9780674491014 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive investigation of gender and the law in the United States. Deborah Rhode describes legal developments over the last two centuries against a background of historical and sociological changes in women's activities and attitudes toward these new developments. She shows the way cultural perceptions of gender influence and in turn are influenced by legal constructions, and what this complicated interaction implies about the possibility--or impossibility--of using law as a tool of social change.

The Beauty Bias: The Injustice of Appearance in Life and Law
ISBN: 9780199794447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "It hurts to be beautiful" has been a cliche for centuries. What has been far less appreciated is how much it hurts not to be beautiful. The Beauty Bias explores our cultural preoccupation with attractiveness, the costs it imposes, and the responses it demands. Beauty may be only skin deep, but the damages associated with its absence go much deeper. Unattractive individuals are less likely to be hired and promoted, and are assumed less likely to have desirable traits, such as goodness, kindness, and honesty. Three quarters of women consider appearance important to their self image and...

Lawyers as Leaders
ISBN: 9780199896226 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. No occupation in America supplies a greater proportion of leaders than the legal profession, yet it has done little to prepare them for this role. Lawyers sit at the helm of a vast array of powerful law firms, businesses, governmental, and nonprofit organizations. Two of the last three presidents have been lawyers. And yet almost no occupation rouses greater public distrust. This paradox raises two important questions: Why do we look to lawyers to lead, and why do so many of them prove to be so ill-prepared for that role? In Lawyers as Leaders, eminent law professor Deborah Rhode not only...

Character: What It Means and Why It Matters
ISBN: 9780190919870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As Deborah L. Rhode explains in this wide-ranging work, the American public has long insisted on the central importance of character, but has failed to adequately nurture and sustain it in families, schools, law, and politics. All too often, our understandings of character are out of step with psychological research and fundamental values.

The Trouble with Lawyers
ISBN: 9780190217228 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By any measure, the law as a profession is in serious trouble. Americans' trust in lawyers is at a low, and many members of the profession wish they had chosen a different path. Law schools, with their endlessly rising tuitions, are churning out too many graduates for the jobs available. Yet despite the glut of lawyers, the United States ranks 67th (tied with Uganda) of 97 countries in access to justice and affordability of legal services. The upper echelons of the legal establishment remain heavily white and male. Most problematic of all, the professional organizations that could help remedy...

In the Interests of Justice: Reforming the Legal Profession
ISBN: 9780195165548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Two thousand years ago, Seneca described advocates not as seekers of truth but as accessories to injustice, "smothered by their prosperity." This unflattering assessment has only worsened over time. The vast majority of Americans now perceive lawyers as arrogant, unaffordable hired guns whose ethical practices rank just slightly above those of used car salesmen.
In this penetrating new book, Deborah L. Rhode goes beyond the commonplace attacks on lawyers to provide the first systematic study of the structural problems confronting the legal profession. A past president of the Association... Two thousand years ago, Seneca described advocates not as seekers of truth but as accessories to injustice, "smothered by their prosperity." This unfl...

Theoretical Perspectives on Sexual Difference

No issue has been more central to the American women's movement than sexual difference. This book offers a unique study of the nature, origins, and consequences of sexual difference. Leading scholars in history, philosophy, law, literary theory, biology, sociology, psychology, political science, and anthropology explore the difference difference makes. Several traditions of feminist response to difference are reflected in this volume.

What Women Want: An Agenda for the Women's Movement
ISBN: 9780199348275 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What Women Want is a trenchant examination of the struggle for women's equality, and a prescription for what to focus on next in order to ensure maximum success. Feminism today is a movement that lacks leadership, unity, and definition, and it has gotten stuck in a boom and bust cycle when it comes to public opinion and action. Despite significant progress over the last fifty years, equality is still a distant goal in the political, social, and economic spheres. Only by identifying the barriers (both internal and external) that remain, Deborah Rhode argues, can we begin to identify...

Speaking of Sex: The Denial of Gender Inequality
ISBN: 9780674831780 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Speaking of Sex explores a topic that too often drops out of our discussions when we speak about sex: the persistent problem of sex-based inequality and the cultural forces that sustain it. On critical issues affecting women, most Americans deny either that gender inequality is a serious problem or that it is one that they have a personal or political responsibility to address. In tracing this "no problem" problem, Speaking of Sex examines the most fundamental causes of women's disadvantages and the inadequacy of current public policy to combat them. Although in the...
