Temple University Press,U.S. Journeys in Sociology
Book SynopsisFor most sociologists, their life's work does not end with retirement. Many professors and practitioners continue to teach, publish, or explore related activities after leaving academia. They also connect with others in the field to lessen the isolation they sometimes feel outside the ivory tower or an applied work setting. The editors and twenty contributors to the essential anthology Journeys in Sociology use a life-course perspective to address the role of sociology in their lives. The power of their personal experiences-during the Great Depression, World War II, or the student protests and social movements in the 1960s and '70s-magnify how and why social change prompted these men and women to study sociology. Moreover, all of the contributors include a discussion of their activities in retirement. From Bob Perrucci, Tuck Green, and Wendell Bell, who write about issues of class, to Debra Kaufman and Elinore Lurie, who explain how gender played a role in their careers, the diverse enTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction * Rosalyn Benjamin Darling Part I: Children of the Great Depression 1.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Anxious Investor
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[Nations] has studied the math and history of market volatility, and his new book focuses on the psychology that drives it. ... The Anxious Investor weaves the latest behavioral finance studies into an engaging narrative history. ... Investors might do well to review the lessons shared in Mr. Nations’s book—and to try to conquer the anxiety that volatility can create even for the most seasoned and thoughtful financiers." — Wall Street Journal "I often say that fear, greed, hope, and ignorance are the four horsemen of the investment apocalypse, and note, only one is not an emotion. Emotional decisions may be made in the heat of a market meltdown, but also when markets are seemingly going to the moon. In The Anxious Investor, Scott Nations offers a close look at why these emotions are so destructive to your investment goals and offers a checklist of these emotional biases to help the reader understand and avoid them. The next time the market gets crazy, having this book by your side may help you overcome those four horsemen and stick with your long-term objectives." — JIM O'SHAUGHNESSY, New York Times Bestselling Author of What Works on Wall Street “Financial instruments and technology have evolved since the first market bubble in 1720, but across three-hundred years of manias and panics one aspect of markets remains unchanged: human nature. Through fascinating case studies, Scott Nations reveals why investors repeatedly succumb to the same behavioral shortcomings, and how to avoid them when times get tough. Nations’ entertaining and educational style makes this book accessible for all investors interested in the psychology of markets.” — JAMIE CATHERWOOD, "The Finance History Guy" "It's been remarked that if you don't know who you are, the stock market is an expensive place to find out. With his new book, Scott Nations explains why mastering your own mental state is the most critical variable of all." — JOSHUA BROWN, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and CNBC Contributor "Nations’s advice is grounded and practical, and the wealth of research backing it will leave readers feeling like they’re in good hands. New and seasoned investors alike will find this worth a look." — Publishers Weekly

HarperCollins Focus Independence Day
Book SynopsisNew York Times bestselling author Steve Lopez explores the meaning of work and how it defines us as he examines the true nature of a person’s time, identity, and ultimate life satisfaction.Trade Review'I recommend this book to anybody. Not just a bunch of 67-year-olds.' * Duff McDonald, The Tickle Yourself Podcast: Retirement and the Present Moment *'Steve Lopez has written a wise, witty and wonderful book on the question of retirement -- something I'll never do unless I'm forced to by the comedy authorities. However, unlike me, if you're considering it, READ THIS BOOK!' * Mel Brooks, actor, comedian, and filmmaker *'Hugely entertaining and informative, personal and universal, fun and funny, wise and beautifully written, 'Independence Day' is essential reading for anyone contemplating -- or not contemplating -- retirement. It's about why we work and how we live and all that does and does not change as we age.' * Dr. Louise Aronson, geriatrician, author of NYT-bestselling book “Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life,” a Pulitzer Prize finalist *'In Independence Day, Steve Lopez offers us a master class in decision making. To a brilliant storyteller like Steve, a dry list of pros and cons simply won't suffice. Instead his personal quest becomes a journey of wisdom and soul-searching for us all. This is not only a book for anyone contemplating retirement, it is a book for all of us seeking the courage to make a change with insight and grace.' * Rabbi Naomi Levy, author of Einstein and the Rabbi, founder of Nashuva *'Steve Lopez is a national treasure. He tackles the question of retirement with the humility, wit and lacerating insight that long ago made him America's best newspaper columnist. This is a smorgasbord of characters, incidents, and ideas, charming, funny, and often quite moving. It will make you think. It is an essential guide for all of us in life's gun lap, deciding whether to speed up, slow down, or wander happily off the track to trace patterns in the clouds.' * Mark Bowden, contributing writer for The Atlantic, author of Black Hawk Down and Killing Pablo *'Steve Lopez is insightful, ingenious, and often hilarious as he navigates one of life's biggest questions. Independence Day should be read by every boomer on the same path and wondering what comes next.' * Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Hours *'This is a work full of meaning for everyone measuring the days until they put down the tools of whatever trade they ply and walk off into the last quarter of life. It's proof that Steve Lopez should keep working because he's really good at what he does.' * Mike Barnicle, Morning Joe Contributor and former Boston Globe columnist *
