The Minds of Marginalized Black Men: Making Sense of Mobility, Opportunity, and Future Life Chances
ISBN: 9780691127002 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It documents their definitions of good jobs and the good life--and their beliefs about whether and how these can be attained.

The Dark Side of Man
ISBN: 9780738203157 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Dark Side of Man, Michael Ghiglieri, a biologist and protege of Jane Goodall, takes on one of the most highly charged debates in modern science: the biological roots of bad behavior. Beginning with rape, and moving on to murder, war, and genocide, Ghiglieri offers the most up-to-date, comprehensive look at the male proclivity for violence. In a strong narrative voice, he draws on the latest research and his own personal experiences--both as a primatologist and as a soldier--to explain that male violence is largely innate, a product of millions of years of evolution. In the...
