"An advocate's personal account of the struggle to force a new idea, and a new future, on the nation's power companies"--Book Jacket.
One of the first books published on the history of women and technology this text laid the groundwork for decades of impressive and increasing scholarship in this field. An edited collection of eleven essays based on scholarly research, it explores many of the ways women have affected technological change historically and how technology has impinged on them. Both European and American topics, from the eighteenth century into the twentieth, are included, although the United States in the last 100 years is the focus.

As powerful interacting social and physical forces, gender and technology shape our experiences, cultures, and identities-sometimes in such comfortable and subtle ways that it takes effort to appreciate them; sometimes in such conspicuous and explosive ways that everyone recognizes their importance. Delving into these issues is an opportunity to discover how technology promises or threatens to rewrite our ideas about sex, sexuality, and gender identity.
A critical yet accessible introduction to organisational behaviour and work, this book will help you understand the complexities of organisational life and evaluate modern business practices. Classic organisational behaviour topics such as team-working, motivation, and change are complemented by core critical approaches such as power and control, organisational misbehaviour, and health and well-being through a clear three-part structure. Students are encouraged to look beyond a descriptive approach and truly engage with the content. Examples and 'Stop and Think' boxes placed throughout chapters, as well as end-of-chapter case studies with accompanying questions, provide the opportunity for this engagement and show how each chapter's theoretical coverage applies in real-life business situations.
"Enlisting religion in environmental discussions has proved to be a two-edged sword. Some environmentalists point to the Bible as the source of an unholy exploitation of nature. Others employ biblical principles to reform - or even destroy - current science, technology, economics, and social structures that have been beneficial. In this timely volume Robert Royal examines how religious values are sometimes misused in current environmental debates and explores how they may be more faithfully used both to restrain excesses in the environmental movement and to inspire sound ecological practices."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
