Career and family : women's century-long journey toward equity / Claudia Goldin

Princeton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press, 2023

Abstract: **Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics This audiobook narrated by Nancy Crane traces women’s journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at home** A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach. Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are “greedy,” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic’s silver lining. Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.

Erculiani, Camilla

Letters on natural philosophy : the scientific correspondence of a sixteenth-century pharmacist, with related texts / Camilla Erculiani ; edited by Eleonora Carinci ; translated by Hannah Marcus ; foreword by Paula Findlen

New York ; Toronto : Iter press, 2021

The other voice in early modern Europe

Abstract: In her Letters on Natural Philosophy, published originally in Krakow in 1584, Camilla Erculiani proposed her new theory of the natural causes of the universal flood in the biblical book of Genesis. Erculiani weaves together her understanding of Aristotelian, Platonic, Galenic, and astrological traditions and combines them with her own observations of the world as seen from her apothecary shop in sixteenth-century Padua. This publication brought Erculiani to the attention of the Inquisition, which accused her of heresy, silencing her for centuries. This edition presents the first full English translation of Erculiani’s book and other relevant texts, bringing to light the cultural context and scientific thought of this unique natural philosopher. Nelle sue Lettere, pubblicate originariamente a Cracovia nel 1584, Camilla Erculiani propose la propria, nuova teoria delle cause naturali del Diluvio universale presente nel libro biblico della Genesi. Camilla Erculiani tesse insieme la sua comprensione delle tradizioni aristotelica, platonica, galenica e astrologica combinata con le sue personali osservazioni del mondo, compiute dalla sua bottega di farmacia nella Padova del 16. secolo. Questa pubblicazione la portò all'attenzione dell'Inquisizione che l'accusò di eresia condannandola al silenzio per secoli. La presente edizione è la prima traduzione inglese integrale del testo di Camilla Erculiani insieme ad altri testi rilevanti per gettare luce sul contesto culturale ed il pensiero scientifico di questa singolare filosofa naturale.

Milano : Piemme, 2020

Abstract: All'Assemblea Mondiale sulla Salute a Ginevra viene presentato il caso di una strana influenza sviluppata da poco in un campo profughi a Giacarta, dove nel giro di poche ore si sono verificati 47 decessi. Il dottor Henry Parsons, un epidemiologo di fama mondiale, decide di partire per l'Indonesia dove trova uno scenario apocalittico. Capisce che si tratta di un virus ignoto, letale e caratterizzato da una diffusione rapidissima. Quando viene a sapere che il suo autista è partito per un pellegrinaggio alla Mecca, dove ci sono più di tre milioni di pellegrini, intraprende una corsa contro il tempo per trovarlo e metterlo in isolamento. Ma è troppo tardi. Mentre l'epidemia ormai si sta diffondendo in tutto l'Occidente, tra le due grandi potenze mondiali, Stati Uniti e Russia, la tensione è alta. È vero che questo virus mortale è stato creato in laboratorio dalla Russia con lo scopo di scatenare un conflitto e ristabilire la propria egemonia in Medio Oriente? E che ruolo hanno le armi chimiche nella diffusione di questo tipo di virus?

The cutting edge : a Lincoln rhyme novel / Jeffery Deaver

New York ; Boston : Grand Central, 2018

Abstract: In the early hours of a quiet, weekend morning in Manhattan's Diamond District, a brutal triple murder shocks the city. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs quickly take the case. Curiously, the killer has left behind a half-million dollars' worth of gems at the murder scene, a jewelry store on 47th street. As more crimes follow, it becomes clear that the killer's target is not gems, but engaged couples themselves. The Promisor vows to take the lives of men and women during their most precious moments--midway through the purchase of an engagement ring, after a meeting with a wedding planner, trying on the perfect gown for a day that will never come. The Promisor arrives silently, armed with knife or gun, and a time of bliss is transformed, in an instant, to one of horror...

Giovanni Bellini: landscapes of faith in renaissance Venice / edited by Davide Gasparotto ; with contributions by Hans Belting... [et al.]

Los Angeles : The J. Paul Getty Museum, 2017

Abstract: Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1435-1516) was the premier venetian painter of the Quattrocento and one of the greatest italian artists of all time. In Bellini's work landscape assumed a prominence unseen in Western art since classical antiquity. Drawing from a selection of masterpieces that span his long and successful career, this book focuses on the main function of landscape in his oeuvre, which was to enhance the meditational natureof paintings inteded for the private devotion of intellectually sophisticated, elite patrons... This catalogue, which documents the first exhibition in America devoted solely to Bellini, includes a biography of the artist, essays bu leading authorities in the field explicating the themes of the show, and detailed discussions and glorious reproduction fo the thirteen works in the exhibition, including their history and provenance, function, iconography, chronology and style. Giovanni Bellini fu il principale pittore veneziano del Quattrocento ed uno dei più grandi artisti italiani di tutti i tempi. Nell'opera di Bellini il paesaggio assunse un'importanza sconosciuta nell'arte occidentale dai tempi dell'antichità classica. A partire da una selezione di capolavori che copre la sua lunga e fortunata carriera artistica, questo libro focalizza l'attenzione sul ruolo primario del paesaggio nella sua opera, che era quello di accrescere la natura meditativa della pittura secondo l'intenzione di committenti intellettualmente sofisticati.

Autoboyography / Christina Lauren

New York [etc.] : Simon & Schuster, 2017

Abstract: Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah. But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity. It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.
