Unveiling the Gender Paradox

Dynamics of Power, Sexuality and Property in Kerala

Chapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Gender within Matriliny.- Chapter 3: Women, Sexuality and property Rights.- Chapter 4: Making of Culture in a Caste Matrix.- Chapter 5: Female Authority Intersecting Ideology and Identity.- Chapter 6: Property Matters.- Chapter 7: Changing Gender Relations.- Chapter 8: Conclusion.

When you think about the tools at our disposal to address the ecological, social and biodiversity challenges we face today, accounting might not immediately come to mind. And yet it is accounting standards, not science and not public policy, that set out how profit is calculated, which in turn drives investment decisions. What if we demanded that those standards reflect the true cost of business and its consequences?
Unless we look again at these fundamental principles, which have gone under the radar for so long, capital markets will continue to contribute to inequality, nature loss and climate change. What's remarkable is that we already have in place everything we need for a more just and complete approach to accounting, and forward-thinking businesses are beginning to recognize that.
Jeremy Nicholls - accountant, sustainability professional, historian and activist - sets out a vision for new way of accounting, and it's one that we can adopt immediately.

How financial accounting is damaging the world (but can help repair it)

The Accounting Paradox

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book consisting of 24 chapters provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of women’s work in India. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary data sources it offers fresh perspectives on long-term patterns and emerging trends. It sheds light on trends in gender equality in employment, the stubbornly low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), the continued invisibility of women’s work, and the shortcomings of official labour force surveys in capturing women’s economic contributions. It also explores gendered labour market barriers linked to caregiving responsibilities, social group identities, and the high unemployment rates among educated women. Several chapters address persistent issues of discrimination and inequality, including how rising educational attainment among women has shaped labour market outcomes.
It critically assesses the growing sectors of childcare and gig work, often viewed as potential pathways to better-paid employment for women, highlighting both their opportunities and limitations. Further, the book provides the policy measures required to enhance women’s labour participation; challenges specific to urban contexts and key policies related to public employment and social protection for women.
This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, civil society organisations, development practitioners, and policymakers working on women’s employment. It is equally relevant for educators and students in gender studies, labour economics, employment research, and development studies.

An Introduction to Cost Accounting

I freed myself from your father, I thought this would be a new life for me and now it's starting all over, everything's starting all over again. The blazing new book from once-in-a-generation writer Édouard Louis, as he helps his mother escape from an abusive partner SELECTED AS A BOOK TO READ FOR 2026 BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN One evening, during a writers' residency in Athens, Édouard receives a tearful phone call from his mother, Monique. She tells him that the man she lives with in Paris is abusive, inflicting upon her the same drunken behaviour as Édouard's father, repeating the same cycles of violence, shame and humiliation she fled from before. Step by step, they plan her escape, celebrating each small victory of Monique's new beginning. But how do you rebuild your life when you've never truly known freedom? Monique Escapes is an intimate and gripping portrait of a mother fighting for her self-determination, and of the son who becomes her ally. It is a story of reinvention, the price of liberty and the remaking of the relationship between a mother and a son who, despite the weight of their shared history, manage to find each other again. Translated by John Lambert 'One of the most important, politically vital and morally bracing writers of his generation' GUARDIAN 'I feel so lucky to be living and writing at the same time as Édouard Louis' MAGGIE NELSON 'One of the major writers of our time' GARTH GREENWELL

Kriminalität und Gesellschaft

Die Soziologie verfügt über vielfältige Perspektiven und Theorien, mit denen sie die Kriminalität als soziale Erscheinung beschreibt und erklärt. Der vorliegende Band bietet einen Überblick über diese Herangehensweisen. Dabei dient ein Makro-Mikro-Makro-Modell als Heuristik und eröffnet die Möglichkeit, die Vielfalt der soziologischen Erklärungsangebote handhabbar zu machen sowie einen Weg zu deren Vereinheitlichung aufzuzeigen.

Palgrave Advances in Sex Work Studies

This book explores ‘exiting’ programs for sex workers, which are behavioural change interventions that support people to stop selling sex. This book examines questions about how we should conceptualise and respond to ‘exiting’ and, by centring sex workers’ voices, it provides evidence of the impact of these programs. It examines sex work ‘exiting’, not as something sex workers need to stop doing, but as part of sex work careers. Drawing on interviews and a global program review to establish best practice, this book challenges the idea of sex work as something a person is ‘in’ or ‘out’ of. It also explores sex workers’ resistance to this area of programming to highlight the power and politics of ‘exiting’. Using a labour framing and seeing sex work as career, this book repositions ‘exiting’ as career development and sheds new light on everyday working circumstances, popular discourses, policies and programs and grassroots struggles for change. As a co-collaboration incorporating knowledge from researchers and lived experience experts, this book is a unique addition that challenges the dominant abolitionist, anti-sex work framings and is of interest to academics, policy makers, sex worker support organisations and non-government organisations globally.

Reconceptualizing Exiting and Career Development in Sex Work

Wie werden Macht und Herrschaft vergeschlechtlicht? Und wie prägen staatliche Ordnungen historisch verschiedene Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit? Im komplexen Spannungsfeld von Geschlecht, Macht und Staat untersuchen die Autor*in­nen dieses Bandes, wie geschlechter­bezogene Zuschreibungen gesellschaftlich ausgehandelt, normativ gerahmt und medial vermittelt werden. Anhand von Fallstudien von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart analysieren sie Wechselwirkungen zwischen sozialen Praktiken, politischen Institutionen und kulturellen Repräsentationen und zeigen, wie Herrschaftsverhältnisse Geschlechterordnungen hervorbringen und stabilisieren.

Real Dolls versprechen intime Körperlichkeit ohne lebendige Gegenüber und oszillieren zwischen technikethischen Fantasien und realem Begehren. Mark Bibbert vergleicht die Antizipation künftiger Sexroboter mit empirisch begründeten Nutzungsgefügen hyperrealistischer Sexpuppen. Intimitäts¿, Hobby¿ und Lust-Gefüge verknüpfen materielle, affektive, diskursive und biografische Elemente zu je eigenen Formen anthropomorpher Echtheit, Sex und Intimität. Eine durch den Nonhuman Turn reformulierte Situationsanalyse erschließt diese Gefüge, macht sichtbar, wo gängige Kritikmuster aktuelle Nutzungsweisen verfehlen, und formuliert eine Kritik jenseits technikethischer Determinismen.

'Those looking for the next Lessons in Chemistry - a story of ferociously bright, feisty women holding their own in a man's world - may have found it ... this is a rich read, heartbreaking, engrossing and intellectually stimulating' New Zealand Listener 'Sweeping and intimate . a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken' SHELBY VAN PELT, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures 'A magnificent, spellbinding love story' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of Broken Country _____ 1976, Rhode Island. Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from her hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself. Jane was always the brilliant one: fierce, complicated and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother's death, Jane's gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt and heartbreak that neither could escape. Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried. As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she's built and the life she once imagined for herself. A decades-spanning tale rich with questions of faith, science and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness and the complicated nature of love.
