Gender Studies
Review:This is the best book there is on understanding men and women, imho. In a very simple way the author shows just how different men and women think, percieve infomration coming from the opposite sex, explain why and what would be a better approach. Plain and simple, soooooo to the root cause and point!
He gives a situation, for example, something being said, then shows how the man hears it and how the woman hears it. When i'd read the man's side I'd be thinking hmm this is weird, but then I'd r... Read more
Review:The book makes many religious references and is not geared toward male same-sex relationships. I expected the book to be general and mention, "them, they, their" pronouns instead of constantly declaring a male/female relationship. I bought the book because I receive their emails and they don't mention gender at all in them of which is why I bought the book. But I am going to return it due to these two factors. Read more
Review:I really enjoyed this book as a long time Against Me! fan. It is a fast, insightful, and entertaining read. It offers a mix of old journal entries and prose to give a surprisingly insightful and detailed look into busy and complicated life in relatively few words. I would recommend this book for fans of against me! there are tons of great stories from Laura's time on the road. I also really found myself relating to the book as a women who loves punk rock and a women in general. Laura shares... Read more

Review:Reading this moving, lyrical tribute, you might think the author is talking about the 1930s or even the 19th century. She's not. This is a true, unsentimental portrait of a poor African-American community in Mississippi in the 1980s and 90s. Sure, it evokes tears. But it's so imbued with poetic detail, with dignity and an unflinching sense of humanity, that it's nothing short of eye-opening. You feel the author's mixed emotions – the push-pull of nostalgia for her hometown and disgust at th... Read more
Review:This is a great book about modern society and men. Even through it was written nearly 20 years ago, it is still completely applicable, if not more so. Written in a textual analysis of an ancient story, the author weaves current observations about our society into a discussion of how human societies evolved over thousands of years. This is a great book if you have a young boy, or work with a Boy Scout Troop or school. Read more
Review:Around the time he published his most recent and to date most radical book, "The Myth of Male Power," Warren Farrell released these audiocassettes of the same title. Farrell's own recommendation of these tapes as the second step in educating the uninitiated about men's issues (the tapes of "Why Men Are the Way They Are" being the first step) is very well-taken. Information and philosophy are presented engagingly, accessibly, with little fluff or fanfare. Indeed, given Farrell's measured,... Read more
Review:Great book for anyone looking to find out what makes a man. For the past 30 years mens roles have been downplayed and muddled. This book gives insight as to what manhood truly means. It is a bit of a slow read and its the type of read that allows you to skip around a bit without getting lost of "ruining" the story. I would recommend this for any middle aged man that is feeling "lost" or unsure of what the male relationship should or should not be in our society. Read more
