Etaugh C: Women's Lives

Women's Lives

A Psychological Exploration of Women and Gender

*A Radio 4 Book of the Week*'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' - Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent - this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' - Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body__________Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.__________'A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women's bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale

Handbooks in Economics

Handbook of the Economics of Identity: Volume 1

'Pulls off the rare feat of making you laugh, think and feel like you happened upon a top secret dossier' GEOFF NORCOTT'MONEYMANIA is a page-turner and a must read if you wonder why the world is so screwed up.' PATRICK ALLEY, author of VERY BAD PEOPLEThe anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us behind the scenes as he embarks on another part of his career, this time recruited as an economist into an industry that believes the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy. Instead, he discovers that economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and a staggering lack of common sense.In MONEYMANIA we find out why mortgages cost more because of a casual remark made in New Zealand in the '80s, and ask whether the Age of Austerity was due to a simple spreadsheet error. We also learn that if America behaved more like Iceland, they would have put 32,000 bankers in prison.The Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities of economics, showing us how the profession is responsible for some of the greatest mistakes of all time - and leaves us wondering how they got away with it.This is MONEYMANIA.

Sexual Offences in Ireland: Practice and Procedure

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

This book advocates for harm reduction as a humanizing overarching approach to substance use and addiction care, one that can increase access to and engagement in treatment and other services.In this book, the authors lay out the challenges and limitations of the abstinence-only approach to treatment and care, which can lead to disillusioned clients and frustrated providers. Based on interviews conducted at two harm reduction programs, this book describes how the approach demarginalized clients and led them to voluntarily engage in services, thereby resulting in improved quality of life, hopeful future goals and plans, better social functioning, and reduced substance use. In their own words, clients and providers described what uniquely characterized a harm reduction approach and how it as an alternative, supplement, or complement to existing abstinence-only options.This important volume contributes key information critical for training future generations of social workers, healthcare providers, and addiction specialists.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Addiction Treatment

The Case for a Harm Reduction Approach

Transform your leadership outcomes by changing these everyday words From A to THE: The Psycholinguistic Approach to Leadership, Ryan Avery, the 2012 world champion of public speaking and trained organizational psychologist, reveals how small shifts in everyday language create monumental changes in leadership outcomes. Drawing on linguistic data, original research, and real-world stories gathered over the last decade, Avery identifies the specific words that erode trust and weaken authority. The book blends science and storytelling to show why certain common words kill momentum, spark confusion, or undermine connection, and what to say instead. Avery provides replacement language designed to drive clarity, commitment, and trust. Each of the words is examined through psycholinguistic research, giving leaders evidence-based strategies to communicate with greater influence and impact across every interaction. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>Evidence-based explanations of how specific word choices shape perception, trust, and team motivation in leadership contexts</li> <li>Practical replacement language leaders can adopt immediately to strengthen authority and build deeper connection with their teams</li> <li>Real-world stories from coaching executives, leadership teams, and C-suite professionals across multiple industries over the last decade</li> <li>Psycholinguistic frameworks that connect everyday language patterns to measurable changes in leadership clarity and team commitment</li> </ul> Ideal for CEOs, executives, and leaders at every organizational level, From A to THE provides the research-backed approach to communication that replaces counterproductive language habits with precise, influence-driven alternatives, helping leaders build trust, create clarity, and inspire commitment through the words they choose daily.

The Psycholinguistic Approach to Leadership

From A to THE

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.
